In June 2014, BB&T received a letter from the HUD-OIG stating that BB&T has been selected for an audit survey to assess BB&T's compliance with FHA requirements related to the origination of loans insured by the FHA. In addition, HUD-OIG will evaluate BB&T's compliance with FHA requirements related to the implementation of a quality control program associated with the origination of FHA-insured loans. While the outcome of the review process is unknown and the HUD-OIG has not asserted any claims, similar reviews and related matters with other financial institutions have resulted in cash settlements and other remedial actions. BB&T identified a potential exposure related to losses incurred by the FHA on defaulted loans that ranges from $25 million to $105 million and recognized an $85 million reserve during the second quarter of 2014. The income statement impact of this adjustment is included in Other expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The ultimate resolution of this matter is uncertain and the estimates of this exposure are subject to the application of significant judgment and therefore cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

In addition, BB&T recognized a $33 million adjustment related to its indemnification reserves for mortgage loans sold, which represents an increase in estimated losses that may be incurred on FHA-insured mortgage loans that have not yet defaulted. The income statement impact of this adjustment is included in Loan-related expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The sensitivity of the fair value of the residential MSRs to changes in key assumptions is included in the accompanying table:

			June 30, 2014							December 31, 2013
			Range				Weighted			Range				Weighted
			Min		Max		Average			Min		Max		Average

			(Dollars in millions)
Prepayment speed			7.4	%	10.2	%		9.3	%	5.5	%	8.0	%		6.9	%
	Effect on fair value of a 10% increase						$	(31)						$	(33)
	Effect on fair value of a 20% increase							(61)							(64)

OAS			9.0	%	9.8	%		9.2	%	9.1	%	9.9	%		9.3	%
	Effect on fair value of a 10% increase						$	(32)						$	(39)
	Effect on fair value of a 20% increase							(62)							(75)

Composition of loans serviced for others:
	Fixed-rate residential mortgage loans							99.7	%						99.7	%
	Adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans							0.3							0.3
		Total						100.0	%						100.0	%

Weighted average life								6.7	yrs						7.9	yrs

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the above table, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.
