Other Investments
As a part of the Company's community reinvestment initiatives, the Company has made equity investments in certain
limited partnerships and limited liability companies that finance the construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing,
as well as stimulate economic development in low to moderate income communities. These investments are accounted for
using the equity method of accounting, and are recorded within other assets, and the related commitment for future investments
is recorded in other liabilities within the statement of financial condition. The portion of each investment's operating results
allocable to the Company is recorded in other expense within the statement of income. The Company earns a return primarily
through the receipt of tax credits allocated to the affordable housing projects and the community revitalization projects. These
investments are not consolidated as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the entities. As of
November 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had outstanding investments of $137.9 million and $46.1 million respectively in
these entities, and the related contingent liability was $6.3 million and $3.1 million respectively.
