Bailout Banking Question - CPAs?

[Mo_Gearhead]

I am reading about ... (but am still confused) the "Bailout" money that is going to certain U.S. banks.

If I am looking at a prospectus for a banking institution over the next few quarters, am I going to be able to find a specific "line item" in the balance sheet that pertains to any money that bank may have received from the Government?

Or, am I going to have to look at the "shareholder listings" and will that specifically list the US Government as a holder of a certain class of security?

Anyone here know how this is unfolding, as far as public disclosure is concerned?

Thanks.

I'm sure if nothing else, it'll be in the MD&A in the Qs and in the footnotes of the Ks. That's just my gut feeling, I haven't read up on any specific authoritative guidance as of yet.
