All derivatives are reported on the balance sheet at fair value. In addition,
where applicable, all such contracts covered by master netting agreements
are reported net. Gross positive fair values are netted with gross negative fair
values by counterparty pursuant to a valid master netting agreement. In
addition, payables and receivables in respect of cash collateral received from
or paid to a given counterparty are included in this netting. However, non-
cash collateral is not included.
The amounts recognized in Principal transactions in the Consolidated
Statement of Income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
related to derivatives not designated in a qualifying hedging relationship as
well as the underlying non-derivative instruments are included in the table

derivative gains and losses related to its trading activities together with gains
and losses related to non-derivative instruments within the same trading
portfolios, as this represents the way these portfolios are risk managed.

Accounting for Derivative Hedging
Citigroup accounts for its hedging activities in accordance with ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging (formerly SFAS 133). As a general rule, hedge
accounting is permitted where the Company is exposed to a particular risk,
such as interest-rate or foreign-exchange risk, that causes changes in the
fair value of an asset or liability or variability in the expected future cash
flows of an existing asset, liability or a forecasted transaction that may
affect earnings.
Derivative contracts hedging the risks associated with the changes in fair
value are referred to as fair value hedges, while contracts hedging the risks
affecting the expected future cash flows are called cash flow hedges. Hedges
that utilize derivatives or debt instruments to manage the foreign exchange
risk associated with equity investments in non-U.S.-dollar-functional-
currency foreign subsidiaries (net investment in a foreign operation) are
called net investment hedges.
If certain hedging criteria specified in ASC 815 are met, including testing
for hedge effectiveness, special hedge accounting may be applied. The hedge
effectiveness assessment methodologies for similar hedges are performed
in a similar manner and are used consistently throughout the hedging
relationships. For fair value hedges, the changes in value of the hedging
derivative, as well as the changes in value of the related hedged item due to
the risk being hedged, are reflected in current earnings. For cash flow hedges
and net investment hedges, the changes in value of the hedging derivative are
reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Citigroup’s
stockholders’ equity, to the extent the hedge is effective. Hedge ineffectiveness,
in either case, is reflected in current earnings.
