Significant Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company is active in originating loans in the United States and internationally. International loans are originated primarily in
Canada and the United Kingdom. The Company reviews each potential customers credit application and evaluates the applicants
financial history and ability and willingness to repay. Loans are made on an unsecured and secured basis. Certain commercial, small
business, mortgage and automobile loans require collateral in various forms including cash deposits, automobiles and real estate, as
appropriate. The Company has higher concentrations of loans where the Local Banking segment operates, the South and Northeast
regions of the U.S. In particular, the Companys commercial portfolio is concentrated in the New York metropolitan area. The
regional economic conditions in the New York area affect the demand for the Companys commercial products and services as well as
the ability of our customers to repay their commercial loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. The geographic
distribution of the Companys loans was as follows:
