Question-and-Answer Session
(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from Erika Penala. Your line is now open.
Erika Penala - BAS-ML
My question is, given your commentary on your industry, what is the dollar amount of commitment that SVB Capital is obligated to fund if called and of that amount how much has an LP committed to it versus if the commitment was made under a warehouse strategy?
Ken Wilcox
Erika, this is Ken. We can answer part of your question but we can't answer all of your question. You know, that the SEC rules don't let us talk about SVB Capital's fund-raising activities. That's really all there is to it. But I can tell you, however, is some of the information related to your question. So why don't we do our best with that. Mark, has the information right in front of him here. Mark?
Mark MacLennan
Erika, probably the best way is actually if you really look back at the 10-K at the end of the year and look at some of the contractual obligations for remaining unfunded commitments to wholly owned funds investment to that. And the numbers are approximately still the same of about 348 million fit into that category. And then I think on the following page we just give it our best expectation, which is still pretty accurate from where it is today of what we expect any capital calls under those facilities to be. And that was about 62 million for the remainder of 2009.

Your next question comes from James Abbott.
James Abbott - FBR Capital Markets & Co.
I guess one of my first questions and then I will jump back in to the queue. The first question here is on the capital levels, obviously the industry is highly focused on tangible common equity and you have say little over $17 billion of deposits off balance sheet a lot of that coming back on balance sheet I suppose.
So a little color around -- and I understand it is going into something that is risk weighted at zero. Just trying to understand the tangible common equity outlook here. What that ratio might do, what your expectations for those deposits, do you decide to shut it off, because you're getting so much on the balance sheet in such a rapid fashion. Just a little guidance on that, please.
Greg Becker
Yes, James, this is Greg Becker. Let me answer the first part of your question then Mike can answer the second part.
