Note: Starting with the report for the first quarter of calendar year 2010, information reported on the BE-605 Bank form is included on the BE-605 form, and the BE-605 Bank form has been discontinued. Therefore, U.S. affiliates that are banks, bank holding companies, and financial holding companies must file on Form BE-605.

In addition, a BE-605 report is required for any U.S. affiliate that was established, acquired, liquidated, sold, or inactivated during the reporting period.
