a
benefit
from
lower provision for unfunded credit commitments ($9.5 million),
partially offset by higher OREO expenses ($4.3 million)
$25.2 million principally due to 80% mirror accounting from the
decrease in provision for loan losses of covered loans
$13.6 million from the covered portfolio related to certain pools of
mortgage loans with lower interest accretion in Q1 (extended average
life estimates) offset by lower interest expense on deposits and
repayment of FDIC note ($6.3 million)
$9.5 million  higher other income mainly due to valuation in
investments accounted for under the equity method and $5.9 million
in other service fees (MSR valuation $11.5 million)
$17.9 million lower net charge offs and $25.3 million  attributed to
the revision of the ALLL methodology for commercial and
construction (US $17.8 million & PR $7.5 million)

Base loss -
36-month average net charge-offs for commercial/construction portfolios and
18-month average net charge-offs for consumer/mortgage portfolios
Trend factor-
Replaces base-loss period with 6-month average net charge-off when  it is
higher than base loss (up to determined cap)
Environmental factor -
Captures certain credit / economic trends  and factors not
considered in the base losses
General reserve -
Based on historical losses adjusted for a recent trendfactor+

possibility of downgrades, due to the state of the Puerto Rico economy
January 2012:  Fitch raised BPOPs outlook to positive
December 2011: S&P raised its ratings on BPPR to BB from BB-
and changed
outlook to stable given revised bank criteria to Regional banks
