During 2007, the allowance for loan losses increased by $440.5 million. This increase was driven primarily
by an increase of $427.5 million in the allowance allocated to the home equity loan portfolio, which deteriorated
significantly during the second half of 2007.
Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by $158.9 million compared to the same
period in 2006. The overall increase was primarily due to higher net charge-offs on home equity loans, which
was driven mainly by the deterioration of the home equity loan portfolio, described above.
We classify loans as nonperforming when full and timely collection of interest or principal becomes
uncertain or when they are 90 days past due. The following table provides the breakout of nonperforming loans
by type (dollars in thousands):
