(a) The bank completed the short-form in 1997. The short form indicates that all or substantially all of the bank's domestic C&I loans are small business loans, i.e. of $ 1 million or less in loan origination principal amount. For banks completing the short form, American Banker assumes that all domestic C&I loans are small business loans. To illustrate whether a loan is deemed small business in nature - A $ 5 million dollar loan to either Philip Morris or Sam's Hardware store will exceed the $ 1 million threshold and thereby is not included. However, a $900,000 loan to either Philip Morris or Sam's Hardware would indeed qualify as a small business loan. Commercial & Industrial loans are loans for commercial and industrial purposes to sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and other business enterprises, whether secured (other than by real estate) or unsecured, in the form of either direct or purchased loans, for domestic offices only. C&I loans typically include loans for the purpose of financing capital expenditures and current operations, loans for construction that are not secured by real estate and loans extended under credit cards and related plans that are readily identifiable and issued in the name of the enterprise. Non-Farm Non- Residential loans are the outstanding loans secured by non-farm non- residential real estate as evidenced by mortgages or other liens on business and industrial properties, hotels, hospitals, education, charitable institutions or similar properties, all with original amounts of $ 1 million or less.
