# With the introduction of the new Return on Loans and Advances and Provisions (as revised from the Return on Loans and Advances
for Use in Hong Kong) as from December 1994, a number of Als have reclassified-certain components. As a result, the figures are not strictly comparable with those of previous quarters. The percentage changes given above have been adjusted, so far as possible, to
remove the reclassification effect and therefore cannot be calculated directly from the published figures.
This excludes funds advanced to authorized institutions.
