For Release at
4:30 P.M. Eastern time
  November 28, 2008

The Board's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and
Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," has been modified in a number of ways.  This week's release
reports credit extended to American International Group, Inc. (AIG) as a separate line in table 1.
Previously, this amount was included in other credit extensions.  This release also presents information on
a new lending facility and new limited liability companies.

On November 10, 2008, the Federal Reserve announced a modification of the terms of credit extended to AIG.
Related to this modification was the creation of two limited liability companies, Maiden Lane II LLC and
Maiden Lane III LLC.  On November 25, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) began extending
credit under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act to Maiden Lane III LLC, a limited
liability company formed to purchase multi-sector collateralized debt obligations on which the Financial
Products Group of AIG has written credit default swap contracts.  On November 24, 2008, the Money Market
Investor Funding Facility (MMIFF) was created to provide funding to a series of limited liability companies
to purchase short-term U.S. dollar-denominated certificates of deposit, bank notes, and outstanding
asset-backed commercial paper.

Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of all of these
limited liability companies will be consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY in the
preparation of the statements of condition shown on the release, because the FRBNY is the primary
beneficiary of the limited liability companies.  As a result of this consolidation, the loans extended
from the FRBNY to the limited liability companies and the accrued interest on these loans are
eliminated.  The net portfolio holdings of these limited liability companies are reported in table 1, in
table 7, and in table 8.  

Information on Maiden Lane III LLC is presented separately in a new table 4, "Information on Principal
Accounts of Maiden Lane III LLC."  This table presents the fair value of the net portfolio holdings of the
Maiden Lane III LLC along with the book value of the outstanding principal of the loan extended by the
FRBNY, the book value of accrued interest payable to the FRBNY, and the book value of the outstanding
principal and accrued interest on the loan payable to AIG.  A similar table for Maiden Lane II will be
provided when credit is extended to that limited liability company.

Information on the limited liability companies funded through the MMIFF is presented separately in a new
table 6, "Information on Principal Accounts of LLCs Funded through the Money Market Investor Funding
Facility."  This table presents the book value of the net portfolio holdings of the limited liability
companies, as well as the face value of the money market instruments.  In addition, the table presents the
outstanding principal of the loans extended by the FRBNY and accrued interest payable to the FRBNY.

Note on consolidation:
 

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) has extended loans to several limited liability companies under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act.  On June 26, 2008, 
a loan was extended to Maiden Lane LLC, which was formed to acquire certain assets of Bear Stearns.  On October 27, 2008, the FRBNY began extending loans to Commercial Paper 
Funding Facility LLC, which was formed to purchase three-month U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper from eligible issuers.  On November 24, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board authorized
the FRBNY to extend credit to a series of LLCs funded through the Money Market Investor Funding Facility, which were established to purchase short-term U.S. dollar-denominated 
certificates of deposit, bank notes, and commercial paper from eligible issuers.  On November 25, 2008, a loan was extended to Maiden Lane III LLC, which was formed to purchase 
multi-sector collateralized debt obligations on which the Financial Products group of the American International Group, Inc. has written credit default swap contracts.
 

The FRBNY is the sole beneficiary of Commercial Paper Funding Facility LLC and the primary beneficiary of the other LLCs cited above.  Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and 
liabilities of these LLCs have been consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on this release.  As a consequence 
of the consolidation, the extensions of credit from the FRBNY to the LLCs are eliminated, the net assets of the LLCs appear as assets on the previous page (and in table 1 and table 7), 
and the liabilities of the LLCs to entities other than the FRBNY, including those with recourse only to the portfolio holdings of the LLCs, are included in other liabilities in this table
