[1] The provision for credit losses and charge-offs for real estate secured receivables during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 includes $220 million related to the lower of amortized cost or fair value adjustment attributable to credit factors for receivables transferred to held for sale in June 2015. See Note 5, "Receivables Held for Sale," for additional information. The provision for credit losses for real estate secured receivables during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was impacted by a release of approximately $19 million associated with a correction to our credit loss reserve calculation for a segment of our portfolio.
