[1] At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, nonaccrual real estate secured receivables held for investment include $417 million and $639 million, respectively, of receivables that are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the collateral less cost to sell.
[2] At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, nonaccrual real estate secured receivables held for investment include $739 million and $1,245 million, respectively, of TDR Loans, some of which may also be carried at fair value of the collateral less cost to sell
[3] The following table provides a rollforward of our valuation allowance for 2014, 2013 and 2012. At December 31, 2014, the valuation allowance is zero as the fair value of the pool of receivables held for sale at December 31, 2014 exceeds the carrying value as these receivables are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. See Note 20, "Fair Value Measurements," for a discussion of the factors impacting the fair value of these receivables.
[4] Nonaccrual loans do not include receivables totaling $627 million and $953 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which have been written down to the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the collateral less cost to sell which are less than 90 days contractually delinquent and not accruing interest.
