3.    BUSINESS SEGMENTS

        Citigroup is a diversified bank holding company whose businesses provide a broad range of financial services to Consumer and Corporate customers around the world. The Company's activities are conducted through the Global Consumer Banking (GCB), Institutional Clients Group (ICG), Citi Holdings and Corporate/Other business segments.

        The Global Consumer Banking segment includes a global, full-service Consumer franchise delivering a wide array of banking, credit card lending, and investment services through a network of local branches, offices and electronic delivery systems and is composed of four Regional Consumer Banking (RCB) businesses: North America, EMEA, Latin America and Asia.

        The Company's ICG segment is composed of Securities and Banking and Transaction Services and provides corporations, governments, institutions and investors in approximately 100 countries with a broad range of banking and financial products and services.

        The Citi Holdings segment is composed of Brokerage and Asset Management, Local Consumer Lending and Special Asset Pool.

        Corporate/Other includes net treasury results, unallocated corporate expenses, offsets to certain line-item reclassifications (eliminations), the results of discontinued operations and unallocated taxes.

        The accounting policies of these reportable segments are the same as those disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        The prior-period balances reflect reclassifications to conform the presentation in those periods to the current period's presentation. In the current quarter, those reclassifications related to the transfer of the substantial majority of the Company's retail partner cards business (which Citi now refers to as "Citi retail services") from Citi Holdings—Local Consumer Lending to Citicorp—North America Regional Consumer Banking. Additionally, certain consolidated expenses were re-allocated to the respective businesses receiving the services.
