2 Purchased Credit Impaired ("PCI") loans are loans that were acquired in which a deterioration in credit quality occurred between the origination date and the acquisition date. These loans were initially recorded at fair value and accrete interest income over the estimated lives of the loans as long as cash flows are reasonably estimable, even if the loans are contractually past due. PCI loans are private student loans and are included in total loan receivables.
 
                                                       
3 Excludes PCI loans (described above) which are accounted for on a pooled basis. Since a pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and aggregate expectation of cash flows, the past-due status of a pool, or that of the individual loans within a pool, is not meaningful. Because the company is recognizing interest income on a pool of loans, it is all considered to be performing.

1 Tangible common equity ("TCE"), a non-GAAP financial measure, represents common equity less goodwill and intangibles. A reconciliation of TCE to common equity, a GAAP financial measure, is shown above. Other financial services companies may also use TCE and definitions may vary, so we advise users of this information to exercise caution in comparing TCE of different companies. TCE is included because management believes that common equity excluding goodwill and intangibles is a more meaningful measure to investors of the true net asset value of the company.
 
                                         
2 Tier 1 common capital, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents common equity and the effect of certain items in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) excluded from tier 1 common capital, less goodwill and intangibles. A reconciliation of tier 1 common capital to common equity, a GAAP financial measure, is shown above. Other financial services companies may also use tier 1 common capital and definitions may vary, so we advise users of this information to exercise caution in comparing tier 1 common capital of different companies. Tier 1 common capital is included to support the tier 1 common capital ratio which is meaningful to investors to assess the quality and composition of the Company’s capital.
