Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
This report on Form 10-Q, the documents that it incorporates by reference and the documents into which it may be incorporated by reference may contain, and from time to time Bank of America Corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the Corporation) and its management may make certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “targets,” “intends,” “plans,” “goal” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “would” and “could.” The forward-looking statements made represent the current expectations, plans or forecasts of the Corporation regarding the Corporation's future results and revenues, and future business and economic conditions more generally, including statements concerning: that net interest income will improve modestly in the third quarter of 2012 if interest rates remain flat to second quarter 2012 levels; the achievement of cost savings in certain noninterest expense categories as the Corporation continues to streamline workflows, simplify processes and align expenses with its overall strategic plan and operating principles as part of Project New BAC; with regard to Phase 1, the Corporation expects to realize more than $1 billion of cost savings in 2012 and $5 billion of annualized cost savings by the fourth quarter of 2013 with the full impact realized in 2014; the Corporation expects that Phase 2 will result in an additional $3 billion of annualized cost savings by mid-2015; the expectation that the Corporation would record a charge to income tax expense of approximately $400 million if the income tax rate were reduced to 22 percent by 2014 as suggested in U.K. Treasury announcements and assuming no change in the deferred tax asset balance; the expected reduction of debit card revenue of approximately $420 million in the third quarter of 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011, as a result of the interchange fee rules; that higher costs will continue related to resources necessary to implement new servicing standards mandated for the industry, to implement other operational changes and costs due to delayed foreclosures; the resolution of representations and warranties repurchase and other claims; the final resolution of the BNY Mellon Settlement; the estimates of liability and range of possible loss for various representations and warranties claims; the expectation that unresolved repurchase claims will continue to increase, including those from Fannie Mae and private-label securitization trustees; that the expiration and mutual nonrenewal of certain contractual delivery commitments and variances with Fannie Mae will not have a material impact on our CRES business, as the Corporation expects to rely on other sources of liquidity to actively extend mortgage credit to customers including continuing to deliver such products into Freddie Mac MBS pools; the ability to resolve mortgage insurance rescission notices with the mortgage insurance companies before the expiration of the appeal period prescribed by the Fannie Mae announcement; the disposition and resolution of servicing matters; beliefs and expectations concerning the servicing global settlement agreement, including expectations about the amounts of credits to be generated by various programs, the effects on annual interest income and fair value of loans in the programs and whether loans modified under programs will be accounted for as troubled debt restructurings, and the likelihood that the Corporation will fail to meet commitments and be required to make additional cash payments, whether material or not; the impacts of foreclosure delays; that implementation of uniform servicing standards will incrementally increase costs associated with the servicing process, but it will not result in material delays or dislocation in the performance of mortgage servicing obligations; the expectation that the Corporation will comply with the final Basel 3 rules when issued and effective; the intention to build capital through retaining earnings, actively managing the Corporation's portfolios and implementing other capital-related initiatives, including focusing on reducing both higher risk-weighted assets and assets proposed to be deducted from capital under Basel 3; the Corporation's liquidity risk management strategies; that funding trading activities in broker/dealer subsidiaries is more cost efficient and less sensitive to changes in credit ratings than unsecured financing; the cost and availability of unsecured funding; the Corporation's belief that a portion of structured liability obligations will remain outstanding beyond the earliest put or redemption date; the Corporation's anticipation that debt levels will continue to decline, as appropriate, through 2013; that, of the loans in the pay option portfolio at June 30, 2012 that have not already experienced a payment reset, three percent will reset during the remainder of 2012 and approximately 21 percent thereafter, and that approximately seven percent will prepay and approximately 69 percent will default prior to being reset, most of which were severely delinquent as of June 30, 2012; effects of the ongoing debt crisis in Europe; we expect reductions in the allowance for loan and lease losses, excluding the valuation allowance for PCI loans, to continue in the near term, though at a slower pace than in 2011; and the intention to reclassify net losses on both open and terminated derivative instruments recorded in accumulated OCI into earnings in the same period as the hedged cash flows affect earnings; and other matters relating to the Corporation and the securities that it may offer from time to time. The foregoing is not an exclusive list of all forward-looking statements the Corporation makes. These statements are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and are often beyond Bank of America's control. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any of these forward-looking statements.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties more fully discussed elsewhere in this report, under Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in any of the Corporation's subsequent Securities and Exchange Commission filings: the Corporation's resolution of differences with Fannie Mae regarding representations and warranties repurchase claims, including with respect to mortgage insurance rescissions, and foreclosure delays; the Corporation's ability to resolve representations and warranties claims made by monolines and private-label and other investors, including as a result of any adverse court rulings, and the chance that the Corporation could face related servicing, securities, fraud, indemnity or other claims from one or more of the monolines or private-label and other investors; if future representations and warranties losses occur in excess of the Corporation's recorded liability for GSE
exposures and in excess of the recorded liability and estimated range of possible loss for non-GSE exposures; uncertainties about the financial stability of several countries in the EU, the increasing risk that those countries may default on their sovereign debt or exit the EU and related stresses on financial markets, the Euro and the EU and the Corporation's exposures to such risks, including direct, indirect and operational; the uncertainty regarding the timing and final substance of any capital or liquidity standards, including the final Basel 3 requirements and their implementation for U.S. banks through rulemaking by the Federal Reserve, including anticipated requirements to hold higher levels of regulatory capital, liquidity and meet higher regulatory capital ratios as a result of final Basel 3 or other capital or liquidity standards; the negative impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on the Corporation's businesses and earnings, including as a result of additional regulatory interpretation and rulemaking and the success of the Corporation's actions to mitigate such impacts; the Corporation's satisfaction of its borrower assistance programs under the global settlement agreement with federal agencies and state Attorneys General; adverse changes to the Corporation's credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies; estimates of the fair value of certain of the Corporation's assets and liabilities; unexpected claims, damages and fines resulting from pending or future litigation and regulatory proceedings; the Corporation's ability to fully realize the cost savings and other anticipated benefits from Project New BAC, including in accordance with currently anticipated timeframes; and other similar matters.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements referred to in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) are incorporated by reference into the MD&A. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Throughout the MD&A, the Corporation uses certain acronyms and abbreviations which are defined in the Glossary.

Second Quarter 2012 Economic and Business Environment |
In the U.S., following moderate economic growth and an improving financial environment to begin the year, momentum dissipated in the second quarter. Household spending slowed during the quarter, as vehicle sales declined and retail sales weakened. Business spending continued its slowing trend, influenced by the expiration of tax credits as well as economic uncertainties. Businesses also significantly reduced hiring during the second quarter and the unemployment rate remained elevated, ending the quarter at 8.2 percent. State and local governments reduced spending and federal defense expenditures declined. Housing activity and construction grew for the fifth consecutive quarter, continuing its moderate improvement from very low levels, although home prices remain depressed. Given the housing sector's influence on consumer behavior and the financial sector, it remains critical to the health of the economic expansion. Lower energy prices also were a positive trend for consumers and businesses. Equity markets partially reversed gains from the previous quarter. Financial market anxiety rose, particularly amid signs of renewed economic slowing. Nevertheless, U.S. exports continued to grow despite the European financial crisis and recession.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) maintained its policy of additional quantitative easing while acknowledging the improved economic and labor market momentum that occurred late in 2011 and in the first quarter of 2012. At its June meeting, based on indications that this momentum had dissipated, and the increasing strains in global financial markets largely stemming from the sovereign debt and banking situation in Europe, the Federal Reserve extended its program to lengthen the average maturity of its portfolio by buying longer term U.S. Treasury securities and selling short-term holdings through year end. Concerns regarding federal tax and spending policies increased during the quarter as financial markets anticipated the year-end expiration of tax cuts and other expansionary fiscal measures such as extended unemployment insurance and the temporary payroll tax cut. In addition, absent Congressional action, federal spending reductions in last year's debt ceiling bill are scheduled to be triggered at year end.
World economic momentum also slowed in the second quarter as a result of declining economic growth in select developed and emerging nations. In addition, heightened tensions in Europe in connection with the European financial crisis and deteriorating economic conditions in certain European countries adversely affected financial markets during the second quarter leading to increased investor risk aversion and lower trading volumes. Overall, at quarter end, world economic conditions remained uncertain. For more information on our exposure in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Japan, see Non-U.S. Portfolio on page 114.
Capital and Liquidity Related Matters
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we entered into a series of transactions involving repurchases of our senior and subordinated debt and trust preferred securities resulting in total net gains of $505 million. Through a tender offer, exercise of call options and certain open market transactions, we repurchased senior and subordinated debt with a carrying value of $4.5 billion for $4.2 billion in cash, and recorded net gains of $334 million. Also, we repurchased trust preferred securities issued by various unconsolidated trusts with a carrying value of $996 million for $825 million in cash, and recorded gains of $171 million. In addition, we exercised a call on $3.9 billion of trust preferred securities which settled, with an extinguishment of the related debt, on July 25, 2012. The gain on this transaction was not significant. We will consider additional tender offers, exercises and other transactions in the future depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity and other factors.
Credit Ratings
On June 21, 2012, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's) completed its previously-announced review for possible downgrade of financial institutions with global capital markets operations, downgrading the ratings of 15 banks and securities firms, including our ratings. The Corporation's long-term debt rating and Bank of America, N.A.'s (BANA's) long-term and short-term debt ratings were downgraded one notch as part of this action. Currently, the Corporation's and BANA's long-term/short-term senior debt ratings and outlooks expressed by Moody's are Baa2/P-2 (negative) and A3/P-2 (stable). The Moody's downgrade did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity during the second quarter of 2012.
The major rating agencies (Moody's, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) and Fitch Ratings (Fitch)) have each indicated that, as a systemically important financial institution, our credit ratings currently reflect their expectation that, if necessary, we would receive significant support from the U.S. government, and that they will continue to assess such support in the context of sovereign financial strength and regulatory and legislative developments. For information regarding the risks associated with adverse changes in our credit ratings, see Liquidity Risk – Credit Ratings on page 80, Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Summary Income Statement results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are presented in Table 2. Certain items that affected pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were the following: provision for credit losses of $1.8 billion and $4.2 billion which included reserve reductions of $1.9 billion and $3.5 billion, net gains of $505 million and $1.7 billion on repurchases of debt and trust preferred securities, and $400 million and $1.2 billion of gains on sales of debt securities. These items were offset by negative fair value adjustments of $62 million and $3.4 billion on structured liabilities related to tightening of our own credit spreads, DVA losses on derivatives of $158 million and $1.6 billion, net of hedges, litigation expense of $963 million and $1.8 billion, and annual retirement-eligible incentive compensation costs of $892 million recorded in the first quarter of 2012. In addition, the representations and warranties provision decreased $13.6 billion to $395 million as the provision of $14.0 billion in the prior-year period, included $8.6 billion related to the agreement entered into with the Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon Settlement) and $5.4 billion related to other non-government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) exposures, and to a lesser extent, GSE exposures.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis decreased $1.7 billion to $9.8 billion, and $3.1 billion to $20.8 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The decreases were primarily driven by lower consumer loan balances and yields and decreased investment securities yields. Lower trading-related net interest income also negatively impacted the results. These were partially offset by reductions in long-term debt balances and lower rates paid on deposits. The net interest yield on a FTE basis was 2.21 percent and 2.36 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 2.50 percent and 2.58 percent for the same periods in 2011.
Noninterest income increased $10.4 billion to $12.4 billion, and $7.2 billion to $23.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The most significant contributor to the increases was significantly lower representations and warranties provision. In addition, the increase in noninterest income included net gains on repurchases of certain debt and trust preferred securities in 2012. For the three-month period, these were partially offset by a decrease in equity investment income, and a decline in other income as the year-ago quarter included a gain on the sale of the Balboa Insurance Company's lender-placed insurance business (Balboa). For the six-month period, the increase in noninterest income was partially offset by negative fair value adjustments on structured liabilities, net DVA losses and the decrease in equity investment income. For additional information on the repurchases and exchanges, see Liquidity Risk on page 75.
The provision for credit losses decreased $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, and $2.9 billion to $4.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The improvement was primarily driven by lower credit costs in the home equity and residential mortgage loan portfolios due to improved portfolio trends, including lower reserve additions in our purchased credit-impaired (PCI) portfolios partially offset by stabilizing portfolio trends in the credit card and core commercial portfolios. The provision for credit losses was $1.9 billion and $3.5 billion lower than net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, resulting in a reduction in the allowance for credit losses. This compared to reductions of $2.4 billion and $4.6 billion in the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
Noninterest expense decreased $5.8 billion to $17.0 billion, and $7.0 billion to $36.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The declines were driven by decreases in other general operating expense which included lower mortgage-related assessments, waivers and similar costs related to delayed foreclosures, and lower litigation expense. The decline in litigation expense was primarily mortgage-related. The decrease in noninterest expense was also the result of a $2.6 billion non-cash, non-tax deductible goodwill impairment charge recorded during the second quarter of 2011.
Income tax expense on a FTE basis was $918 million on pre-tax income of $3.4 billion, and $1.2 billion on pre-tax income of $4.3 billion for three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a benefit of $3.8 billion on a pre-tax loss of $12.6 billion and a benefit of $2.9 billion on a pre-tax loss of $9.6 billion for same periods in 2011.

The following discussion provides an overview of the results of our business segments and All Other for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. For additional information on these results, see Business Segment Operations on page 30.
CBB net income decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 primarily due to a decline in net interest income driven by lower average loans and yields as well as compressed deposit spreads due to the continued low interest rate environment and lower noninterest income due to the impact of the Durbin Amendment and the net impact of portfolio sales. The provision for credit losses increased as portfolio trends began to stabilize. Noninterest expense remained relatively unchanged in the three-month period and declined in the six-month period due to lower Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and operating expenses, partially offset by an increase in litigation expense.
CRES net loss decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 primarily driven by significantly lower representations and warranties provision and higher servicing income, a decline in noninterest expense due to a goodwill impairment charge in the second quarter of 2011, a decline in litigation expense and lower mortgage-related assessments, waivers and similar costs related to delayed foreclosures. In addition, the provision for credit losses decreased driven by improved portfolio trends and lower reserve additions related to the Countrywide Financial Corporation (Countrywide) PCI home equity portfolio. These improvements were partially offset by higher default-related servicing costs, as well as lower insurance income driven by the sale of Balboa in June 2011.
Global Banking net income decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. Revenues declined from lower investment banking fees, the impact of lower rates and benefits from accretion on certain acquired portfolios in the prior-year periods, partially offset by the impact of higher average loan and deposit balances and gains from certain legacy portfolios. The provision for credit losses benefit declined as asset quality stabilized, with declines in reservable criticized exposure and nonperforming assets. Noninterest expense decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to lower personnel expense.
Global Markets net income decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The three-month decrease was driven primarily by lower sales and trading revenue as a result of lower trading volumes and client flows, as well as a decline in new issuance activity. In addition, investment banking fees decreased driven by lower underwriting fees. The six-month decrease was due to lower sales and trading revenue as a result of the factors described above as well as higher net DVA losses due to significant tightening of our credit spreads. The decreases in revenues for the three- and six-month periods were partially offset by declines in noninterest expense due to lower personnel and related expenses. The decline in noninterest expense for the six-month period was also due to lower brokerage, clearing and exchange expenses.
GWIM net income increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 primarily due to lower noninterest expense driven by lower FDIC expense and other volume-driven expenses, lower litigation, as well as other expense reductions, partially offset by higher expense related to the continued investment in the business. Revenue decreased driven by the impact of the continued low rate environment on net interest income as well as lower transactional activity, partially offset by higher asset management fees. In addition, the provision for credit losses declined due to improving portfolio trends within the residential mortgage portfolio.
All Other net loss increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The three-month increase was due to lower net interest income, lower gains on the sales of debt securities and a decrease in equity investment income, partially offset by a reduction in the provision for credit losses and net gains resulting from the repurchase of certain debt and trust preferred securities. The six-month increase was due to negative fair value adjustments on structured liabilities, partially offset by net gains resulting from the repurchase of certain debt and trust preferred securities in 2012. In addition, for the three- and six-month periods, equity investment income decreased as prior-year periods included certain dividends and gains on equity investments, and a lower provision for credit losses largely due to the Countrywide PCI discontinued real estate and residential mortgage portfolios. Noninterest expense increased due to higher litigation expense.

Financial Highlights |

Net Interest Income |
Net interest income on a FTE basis decreased $1.7 billion to $9.8 billion, and $3.1 billion to $20.8 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The decreases were primarily driven by lower consumer loan balances and yields, and decreased investment securities yields including the acceleration of purchase premium amortization expense. Lower trading-related net interest income also negatively impacted the results. These were partially offset by ongoing reductions in long-term debt balances and lower rates paid on deposits. The net interest yield on a FTE basis decreased 29 basis points (bps) to 2.21 percent, and 22 bps to 2.36 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 as the yield continues to be under pressure due to the aforementioned items and the low rate environment. We expect net interest income to improve modestly in the third quarter of 2012 if rates remain flat to second quarter 2012 levels.

Noninterest income increased $10.4 billion to $12.4 billion, and $7.2 billion to $23.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The following highlights the significant changes.
| |
• | Card income decreased $389 million and $760 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily driven by the implementation of interchange fee rules under the Durbin Amendment, which became effective on October 1, 2011. |
| |
• | Investment banking income decreased $538 million and $899 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily driven by lower advisory and underwriting fees due to a decrease in our market share and an overall decline in global fee pools. |
| |
• | Equity investment income decreased $844 million and $1.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as the year-ago quarter included an $836 million China Construction Bank Corporation (CCB) dividend and a $377 million gain on the sale of an equity investment, and the six months ended June 30, 2011 also included a $1.1 billion gain related to an initial public offering (IPO) of an equity investment. The six months ended June 30, 2012 also included a $611 million gain on the sale of an equity investment. |
| |
• | Trading account profits decreased $327 million and $1.0 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily driven by net DVA losses on derivatives of $158 million and $1.6 billion in the current-year periods compared to net DVA gains of $121 million and net DVA losses of $236 million for the same periods in 2011. Trading was also negatively impacted by increased investor risk aversion as reflected in a slowdown in trading volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2012. |
| |
• | Mortgage banking income increased $14.9 billion and $15.8 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily driven by a $13.6 billion decrease in the representations and warranties provision for the three months ended June 30, 2012. In the prior-year period, we recorded $14.0 billion in provision and other expenses related to the agreement to resolve nearly all of the legacy Countrywide-issued first-lien non-GSE residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) repurchase exposures, other non-GSE, and to a lesser extent, GSE exposures. |
| |
• | Insurance income decreased $273 million and $946 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily driven by the sale of Balboa in June 2011, and for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a provision related to payment protection insurance claims in the U.K. |
| |
• | Other income decreased $1.4 billion and $2.7 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. Other income decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as the year-ago quarter included a net gain of $752 million on the sale of Balboa. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the decrease was primarily driven by negative fair value adjustments on our structured liabilities of $3.4 billion compared to negative fair value adjustments of $372 million for the same period in 2011, partially offset by net gains of $505 million and $1.7 billion related to the repurchase of certain debt and trust preferred securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. |

|
Provision for Credit Losses |
The provision for credit losses decreased $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, and $2.9 billion to $4.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the provision for credit losses was $1.9 billion and $3.5 billion lower than net charge-offs, resulting in a reduction in the allowance for credit losses. Also, reserve additions to the PCI portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were $6 million and $493 million.
The provision for credit losses related to our consumer portfolio decreased $2.0 billion to $1.7 billion, and $3.3 billion to $4.4 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 driven by lower credit costs in the home equity and residential mortgage loan portfolios due to improved portfolio trends, including lower reserve additions in our PCI portfolios partially offset by stabilizing portfolio trends in the U.S. credit card and unsecured consumer lending portfolios. The provision for credit losses related to our commercial portfolio, net of the provision benefit for unfunded lending commitments, increased $563 million to $40 million, and $450 million to a benefit of $186 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 as credit quality stabilized.
Net charge-offs totaled $3.6 billion, or 1.64 percent, and $7.7 billion, or 1.72 percent of average loans and leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $5.7 billion, or 2.44 percent, and $11.7 billion, or 2.53 percent for the same periods in 2011. The decrease in net charge-offs was primarily driven by fewer delinquent loans and lower bankruptcy filings across the U.S. credit card and unsecured consumer lending portfolios, as well as lower net charge-offs in the consumer real estate and core commercial portfolios. For more information on the provision for credit losses, see Provision for Credit Losses on page 118.

Noninterest expense decreased $5.8 billion to $17.0 billion, and $7.0 billion to $36.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011, primarily driven by a $3.6 billion decrease in other general operating expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2012 resulting from a decrease of $1.5 billion in litigation expense, and lower mortgage-related assessments, waivers and similar costs related to delayed foreclosures. The decline in litigation expense was primarily mortgage-related. The six months ended June 30, 2011 included a $2.6 billion goodwill impairment charge in our mortgage business. Partially offsetting the decreases were increased professional fees and data processing expenses due to continuing default management activities in Legacy Assets & Servicing.
In connection with Project New BAC, we expect to continue to achieve cost savings in certain noninterest expense categories as we continue to further streamline workflows, simplify processes and align expenses with our overall strategic plan and operating principles. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we continued implementation of Phase 1 initiatives, completed Phase 2 evaluations and began implementation of certain Phase 2 initiatives. With regard to Phase 1, we expect to realize more than $1 billion of cost savings in 2012 and $5 billion of annualized cost savings by the fourth quarter of 2013 with the full impact realized in 2014. We expect that Phase 2 will result in an additional $3 billion of annualized cost savings by mid-2015.
Income tax expense was $684 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a $4.0 billion income tax benefit for the same period in 2011 and resulted in an effective tax rate of 21.7 percent compared to 31.4 percent. Income tax expense was $750 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to a income tax benefit of $3.3 billion for the same period in 2011 and resulted in an effective tax rate of 19.4 percent compared to 32.9 percent.
The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 were primarily driven by our recurring tax preference items and by $128 million of discrete tax benefits recognized in the first quarter. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were primarily driven by the impact of a nondeductible $2.6 billion goodwill impairment charge and recurring tax preference items.
On July 17, 2012, the U.K. 2012 Finance Bill was enacted, which reduced the U.K. corporate income tax rate by two percent to 23 percent. The first one percent reduction was effective on April 1, 2012 and the second reduction will be effective April 1, 2013. These reductions favorably affect income tax expense on future U.K. earnings, but also require us to remeasure our U.K. net deferred tax assets using the lower tax rates. In the third quarter of 2012, we will record a charge to income tax expense of approximately $800 million for the remeasurement. If the corporate income tax rate is reduced to 22 percent by 2014 as suggested in U.K. Treasury announcements and assuming no change in the deferred tax asset balance, we would record a charge to income tax expense of approximately $400 million in the period of enactment.

Period-end balance sheet amounts may vary from average balance sheet amounts due to liquidity and balance sheet management activities, primarily involving our portfolios of highly liquid assets, that are designed to ensure the adequacy of capital while enhancing our ability to manage liquidity requirements for the Corporation and our customers, and to position the balance sheet in accordance with the Corporation’s risk appetite. The execution of these activities requires the use of balance sheet and capital-related limits including spot, average and risk-weighted asset limits, particularly within the market-making activities of our trading businesses. One of our key metrics, Tier 1 leverage ratio, is calculated based on adjusted quarterly average total assets.
At June 30, 2012, total assets were approximately $2.2 trillion, an increase of $31.8 billion, or one percent, from December 31, 2011. This increase was driven by trading account assets due to increases in U.S. Treasuries and EMEA sovereign debt and hedges in leveraged credit trading; debt securities primarily driven by net purchases of agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS); federal funds sold and securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell to cover increases in client short positions and customer financing activity through the match book, and collateral requirements. These increases were partially offset by asset sales and continued run-off in targeted portfolios.
Average total assets decreased $144.5 billion and $148.0 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The decreases were driven by asset sales and continued run-off in targeted portfolios, sales of strategic investments, and lower securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell driven by decreased customer activity.

Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity |
At June 30, 2012, total liabilities were approximately $1.9 trillion, an increase of $25.9 billion, or one percent, from December 31, 2011 primarily driven by an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase due to funding trading inventory resulting from customer demand and funding of trading assets and securities. Partially offsetting this increase were planned reductions in long-term debt.
Average total liabilities decreased $145.0 billion and $149.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The decreases were primarily driven by planned reductions in long-term debt; lower short-term borrowings due to the Corporation's reduced use of commercial paper and master notes; and lower trading liabilities due to reduced short positions in U.S. Treasuries used for hedging and EMEA sovereign debt. In addition, the six-month comparison to the same period in 2011 saw reductions in our use of securities loaned or sold under agreements to repurchase due to inventory reductions and lower cash requirements.
At June 30, 2012, shareholders’ equity was $236.0 billion, an increase of $5.9 billion, or three percent, from December 31, 2011 due to earnings, common stock issued under employee plans and exchanges of preferred and trust preferred securities, curtailment of the Corporation's Qualified Pension Plans and an increase in unrealized gains on available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities in other comprehensive income (OCI).
Average shareholders' equity increased $491 million and $1.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 driven by earnings and common stock issued under employee plans and exchanges of preferred and trust preferred securities. The six-month increase was also impacted by the sale of preferred stock and related warrants to Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. in the third quarter of 2011 and curtailment of the Corporation's Qualified Pension Plans. These increases were partially offset by lower unrealized gains on AFS debt securities in accumulated OCI in 2011.

Supplemental Financial Data |
We view net interest income and related ratios and analyses on a FTE basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe managing the business with net interest income on a FTE basis provides a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. To derive the FTE basis, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent before-tax basis with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. For purposes of this calculation, we use the federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.
As mentioned above, certain performance measures including the efficiency ratio and net interest yield utilize net interest income (and thus total revenue) on a FTE basis. The efficiency ratio measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, and net interest yield measures the bps we earn over the cost of funds.
We also evaluate our business based on certain ratios that utilize tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible equity represents an adjusted shareholders’ equity or common shareholders’ equity amount which has been reduced by goodwill and intangible assets (excluding mortgage servicing rights (MSRs)), net of related deferred tax liabilities. These measures are used to evaluate our use of equity. In addition, profitability, relationship and investment models all use return on average tangible shareholders’ equity (ROTE) as key measures to support our overall growth goals. These ratios are as follows:
| |
• | Return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity measures our earnings contribution as a percentage of adjusted common shareholders’ equity. The tangible common equity ratio represents adjusted common shareholders’ equity divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding MSRs), net of related deferred tax liabilities. |
| |
• | ROTE measures our earnings contribution as a percentage of adjusted average total shareholders’ equity. The tangible equity ratio represents adjusted total shareholders’ equity divided by total assets less goodwill and intangible assets (excluding MSRs), net of related deferred tax liabilities. |
| |
• | Tangible book value per common share represents adjusted ending common shareholders’ equity divided by ending common shares outstanding. |
The aforementioned supplemental data and performance measures are presented in Tables 7 and 8.
In addition, we evaluate our business segment results based on measures that utilize return on economic capital, a non-GAAP financial measure, including the following:
| |
• | Return on average economic capital for the segments is calculated as net income, adjusted for cost of funds and earnings credits and certain expenses related to intangibles, divided by average economic capital. |
| |
• | Economic capital represents allocated equity less goodwill and a percentage of intangible assets (excluding MSRs). |
In Table 9 we have excluded the impact of goodwill impairment charges of $581 million and $2.6 billion recorded in the fourth and second quarters of 2011 when presenting certain of these metrics. Accordingly, these are non-GAAP financial measures. Tables 9, 10 and 11 provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP. We believe the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Corporation and our segments. Other companies may define or calculate these measures and ratios differently.

Net Interest Income Excluding Trading-related Net Interest Income |
We manage net interest income on a FTE basis which excludes the impact of trading-related activities (this adjusted measure of net interest income has been referred to as core net interest income in previous periodic reports of the Corporation). As discussed in the Global Markets business segment section on page 47, we evaluate our sales and trading results and strategies on a total market-based revenue approach by combining net interest income and noninterest income for Global Markets. An analysis of net interest income, average earning assets and net interest yield on earning assets, all of which adjust for the impact of trading-related net interest income from reported net interest income on a FTE basis, is shown below. We believe the use of this non-GAAP presentation in Table 12 provides additional clarity in assessing our results.

(1) | Net interest income and net interest yield include fees earned on overnight deposits placed with the Federal Reserve of $52 million and $99 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and $49 million and $112 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. |

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, net interest income excluding trading-related net interest income decreased $1.5 billion to $9.1 billion, and $2.6 billion to $19.4 billion compared to the same periods in the prior year. The declines were primarily driven by lower consumer loan balances and yields and decreased investment securities yields, including the acceleration of purchase premium amortization expense. These were partially offset by reductions in long-term debt balances and lower rates paid on deposits.
Average earning assets excluding trading-related earning assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $58.6 billion to $1,328.0 billion, and $59.7 billion to $1,335.9 billion compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decreases were due to declines in consumer loans, loans held-for-sale (LHFS) and securities purchased under agreement to resell, partially offset by increases in commercial loans, investment securities and trading assets.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, net interest yield on earning assets excluding trading-related activities decreased 31 bps to 2.76 percent, and 25 bps to 2.91 percent compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the factors noted above. These impacts include a significant flattening of the yield curve driven by lower long-term rates throughout the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Business Segment Operations |
|
Segment Description and Basis of Presentation |
We report the results of our operations through five business segments: CBB, CRES, Global Banking, Global Markets and GWIM, with the remaining operations recorded in All Other. Effective January 1, 2012, we changed the basis of presentation from six to the above five segments. The former Deposits and Card Services segments, as well as Business Banking, which was included in the former Global Commercial Banking segment, are now reflected in CBB. The former Global Commercial Banking segment was combined with the Global Corporate and Investment Banking business, which was included in the former Global Banking & Markets (GBAM) segment, to form Global Banking. The remaining global markets business of GBAM is now reported as a separate Global Markets segment. In addition, certain management accounting methodologies and related allocations were refined. Prior period results have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
We prepare and evaluate segment results using certain non-GAAP financial measures. For additional information, see Supplemental Financial Data on page 17.
The management accounting and reporting process derives segment and business results by utilizing allocation methodologies for revenue and expense. The net income derived for the businesses is dependent upon revenue and cost allocations using an activity-based costing model, funds transfer pricing, and other methodologies and assumptions management believes are appropriate to reflect the results of the business.
Total revenue, net of interest expense, includes net interest income on a FTE basis and noninterest income. The adjustment of net interest income to a FTE basis results in a corresponding increase in income tax expense. The segment results also reflect certain revenue and expense methodologies that are utilized to determine net income. The net interest income of the businesses includes the results of a funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics. For presentation purposes, in segments where the total of liabilities and equity exceeds assets, which are generally deposit-taking segments, we allocate assets to match liabilities. Net interest income of the business segments also includes an allocation of net interest income generated by certain of our asset and liability management (ALM) activities.
Our ALM activities include an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of various derivatives and cash instruments to manage fluctuations in earnings and capital that are caused by interest rate volatility. Our goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity so that movements in interest rates do not significantly adversely affect earnings and capital. The majority of our ALM activities are allocated to the business segments and fluctuate based on performance. ALM activities include external product pricing decisions including deposit pricing strategies, the effects of our internal funds transfer pricing process and the net effects of other ALM activities.
Certain expenses not directly attributable to a specific business segment are allocated to the segments. The most significant of these expenses include data and item processing costs and certain centralized or shared functions. Data processing costs are allocated to the segments based on equipment usage. Item processing costs are allocated to the segments based on the volume of items processed for each segment. The costs of certain other centralized or shared functions are allocated based on methodologies that reflect utilization.
We allocate economic capital to the business segments and related businesses using a risk-adjusted methodology incorporating each segment’s credit, market, interest rate, strategic and operational risk components. See Managing Risk and Strategic Risk Management on pages 67 and 68 for further discussion on the nature of these risks. A business segment's allocated equity includes this economic capital allocation and also includes the portion of goodwill and intangibles specifically assigned to the business segment. We benefit from the diversification of risk across these components which is reflected as a reduction to allocated equity for each segment. The risk-adjusted methodology is periodically refined and such refinements are reflected as changes to allocated equity in each segment.
For more information on selected financial information for the business segments and reconciliations to consolidated total revenue, net income (loss) and period-end total assets, see Note 19 – Business Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CBB, which is comprised of Deposits, Card Services and Business Banking, offers a diversified range of credit, banking and investment products and services to consumers and businesses. Our customers and clients have access to a franchise network that stretches coast to coast through 32 states and the District of Columbia. The franchise network includes approximately 5,600 banking centers, 16,200 ATMs, nationwide call centers, and online and mobile platforms.
CBB Results
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income for CBB decreased $1.3 billion to $1.2 billion primarily driven by a decline in revenue and an increase in the provision for credit losses. Net interest income decreased $845 million to $4.7 billion due to lower average loans and yields in Card Services as well as compressed deposit spreads due to the continued low interest rate environment. Noninterest income decreased $510 million to $2.6 billion due to a decline in Card Services. The provision for credit losses increased $731 million to $1.1 billion as portfolio trends began to stabilize within Card Services. Noninterest expense of $4.4 billion remained relatively unchanged as lower operating expenses were offset by an increase in litigation expense.
The return on average economic capital decreased primarily due to lower net income.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income for CBB decreased $1.9 billion to $2.6 billion primarily driven by a decline in revenue and an increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by lower noninterest expense. Net interest income decreased $1.4 billion to $9.8 billion. Noninterest income decreased $1.0 billion to $5.0 billion. The provision for credit losses increased $947 million to $2.0 billion. These changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion. Noninterest expense decreased $332 million to $8.6 billion primarily due to lower FDIC and operating expenses, partially offset by an increase in litigation expense.
The return on average economic capital decreased due to the same factor as described in the three-month discussion above. For more information regarding economic capital, see Supplemental Financial Data on page 17.
Deposits
Deposits includes the results of consumer deposit activities which consist of a comprehensive range of products provided to consumers and small businesses. Our deposit products include traditional savings accounts, money market savings accounts, CDs and IRAs, noninterest- and interest-bearing checking accounts, as well as investment accounts and products. Deposit products provide a relatively stable source of funding and liquidity for the Corporation. We earn net interest spread revenue from investing this liquidity in earning assets through client-facing lending and ALM activities. The revenue is allocated to the deposit products using our funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics.
Deposits also generates fees such as account service fees, non-sufficient funds fees, overdraft charges and ATM fees, as well as investment and brokerage fees from Merrill Edge accounts. Merrill Edge is an integrated investing and banking service targeted at clients with less than $250,000 in total assets. Merrill Edge provides team-based investment advice and guidance, brokerage services, a self-directed online investing platform and key banking capabilities including access to the Corporation’s network of banking centers and ATMs. Deposits includes the net impact of migrating customers and their related deposit balances between Deposits and GWIM as well as other client-managed businesses. For more information on the migration of customer balances to or from GWIM, see GWIM on page 50.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income for Deposits decreased $243 million to $190 million primarily driven by lower net interest income, partially offset by higher noninterest income. Net interest income declined $367 million, or 16 percent, to $1.9 billion driven by compressed deposits spreads due to the continued low interest rate environment, partially offset by a customer shift to higher-yielding liquid products and continued pricing discipline. Noninterest income increased $40 million, or four percent, to $1.1 billion primarily due to an increase in service charges. Noninterest expense of $2.6 billion remained relatively unchanged as lower FDIC expense was offset by higher operating expense.
Average deposits increased $7.1 billion driven by a customer shift to more liquid products in a low interest rate environment as checking, traditional savings and money market savings grew $18.8 billion. Growth in liquid products was partially offset by a decline in average time deposits of $11.7 billion. As a result of the shift in the mix of deposits and our continued pricing discipline, rates paid on average deposits declined by nine bps to 20 bps.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income for Deposits decreased $295 million to $500 million primarily driven by lower net interest income, partially offset by higher noninterest income. Net interest income declined $452 million, or 10 percent, to $4.0 billion and noninterest income increased $84 million, or four percent, to $2.1 billion driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. Average deposits increased $6.4 billion driven by the same factor as described in the three-month discussion above.

Card Services
Card Services is one of the leading issuers of credit and debit cards in the U.S. to consumers and small businesses. In addition to earning net interest spread revenue on its lending activities, Card Services generates interchange revenue from credit and debit card transactions as well as annual credit card fees and other miscellaneous fees.
Effective October 1, 2011, the Federal Reserve adopted a final rule with respect to the Durbin Amendment that established the maximum allowable interchange fees a bank can receive for a debit card transaction. For more information on the final interchange rules, see Regulatory Matters on page 43 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, the Federal Reserve approved rules governing routing and exclusivity, requiring issuers to offer two unaffiliated networks for routing transactions on each debit or prepaid product, which became effective on April 1, 2012. The interchange fee rules resulted in a reduction of debit card revenue of approximately $420 million in each of the first two quarters of 2012 when compared to the same periods in 2011, and are expected to have a similar impact in the third quarter of 2012.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income for Card Services decreased $1.0 billion to $929 million primarily driven by a decrease in revenue and an increase in the provision for credit losses. Net interest income decreased $422 million, or 15 percent, to $2.5 billion driven by lower average loan balances and yields. The net interest yield decreased 25 bps to 8.81 percent due to charge-offs and paydowns of higher interest rate products. Noninterest income decreased $510 million, or 26 percent, to $1.4 billion primarily due to lower interchange fees as a result of the Durbin Amendment and the net impact of portfolio sales.
The provision for credit losses increased $638 million to $940 million as portfolio trends began to stabilize. For more information, see Provision for Credit Losses on page 118.
Average loans decreased $15.2 billion, or 12 percent, driven by charge-offs, continued run-off of non-core portfolios and the impact of portfolio sales during 2011.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income for Card Services decreased $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion primarily driven by a decrease in revenue and an increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by lower noninterest expense. Net interest income decreased $820 million, or 14 percent, to $5.1 billion. The net interest yield decreased 23 bps to 8.88 percent. Noninterest income decreased $1.0 billion, or 28 percent, to $2.6 billion. These changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. The decrease in noninterest income was also due to a charge related to our consumer protection products.
The provision for credit losses increased $833 million, or 93 percent, to $1.7 billion driven by the same factor as described in the three-month discussion above. Noninterest expense decreased $258 million, or eight percent, to $2.9 billion primarily due to lower operating expenses, partially offset by an increase in litigation expense.
Average loans decreased $15.7 billion, or 12 percent, driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above.

CRES operations include Home Loans and Legacy Assets & Servicing. This alignment allows CRES management to lead the ongoing home loan business while also providing greater focus on legacy mortgage issues and servicing activities. Effective January 1, 2012, servicing activities previously recorded in Home Loans were moved to Legacy Assets & Servicing, and results of MSR activities, including net hedge results, and goodwill were moved from what was formerly referred to as Other within CRES to Legacy Assets & Servicing. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
CRES generates revenue by providing an extensive line of consumer real estate products and services to customers nationwide. CRES products offered by Home Loans include fixed- and adjustable-rate first-lien mortgage loans for home purchase and refinancing needs, home equity lines of credit (HELOC) and home equity loans. First mortgage products are either sold into the secondary mortgage market to investors, while we retain MSRs and the Bank of America customer relationships, or are held on our balance sheet in All Other for ALM purposes. HELOC and home equity loans are retained on the CRES balance sheet in Home Loans and Legacy Assets & Servicing. CRES, through Legacy Assets & Servicing, services mortgage loans, including those loans it owns, loans owned by other business segments and All Other, and loans owned by outside investors.
The financial results of the on-balance sheet loans are reported in the business segment that owns the loans or All Other. CRES is not impacted by the Corporation’s first mortgage production retention decisions as CRES is compensated for loans held for ALM purposes on a management accounting basis, with a corresponding offset recorded in All Other, and is also compensated for servicing loans owned by other business segments and All Other.
CRES includes the impact of transferring customers and their related loan balances between GWIM and CRES based on client segmentation thresholds. For more information on the migration of customer balances, see GWIM on page 50.
CRES Results
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
The net loss decreased $13.7 billion to $768 million primarily driven by higher noninterest income due to a significantly lower representations and warranties provision, lower provision for credit losses and a decline in noninterest expense due to a goodwill impairment charge in the second quarter of 2011.
Noninterest income increased largely as a result of the increase in mortgage banking income of $14.8 billion driven by a decrease of $13.6 billion in representations and warranties provision and a $1.1 billion increase in net servicing income primarily due to improved MSR results, net of hedges. The representations and warranties provision in the prior-year period was attributable to the BNY Mellon Settlement, other non-GSE exposures, and to a lesser extent, GSE exposures. Insurance income decreased $298 million due to the sale of Balboa in June 2011. All other income decreased as the prior-year period included a net $752 million gain on the sale of Balboa.
The provision for credit losses decreased $1.3 billion to $186 million driven by improved portfolio trends in the non-PCI portfolio and lower reserve additions related to the Countrywide PCI home equity portfolio.
Noninterest expense decreased $5.1 billion to $3.6 billion primarily due to a $2.6 billion goodwill impairment charge in the second quarter of 2011, a $1.9 billion decline in litigation expense, $727 million lower mortgage-related assessments, waivers and similar costs related to foreclosure delays, a $270 million reduction in direct production expense due to lower retail production and our exit from correspondent lending, and $202 million in lower insurance expense, partially offset by higher default-related servicing expenses. We expect higher servicing costs will continue related to resources needed for implementing new servicing standards mandated for the industry, to implement other operational changes, and costs due to delayed foreclosures.
Average total earning assets declined $31.9 billion to $126.8 billion primarily due to decreases in total loans and LHFS reflecting lower production volumes, as well as a decline in the MSR hedge portfolio.
Average economic capital decreased two percent due to a reduction in credit risk driven by lower loan balances in the home equity portfolio.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
The net loss decreased $15.0 billion to $1.9 billion. Noninterest income increased $14.4 billion to $3.7 billion and the provision for credit losses decreased $1.9 billion to $693 million. These changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above.
Noninterest expense decreased $5.9 billion to $7.5 billion primarily due to a $2.6 billion goodwill impairment charge in the second quarter of 2011, a $2.4 billion decline in litigation expense, $1.2 billion lower mortgage-related assessments, waivers and similar costs related to foreclosure delays, a $638 million reduction in direct production expense due to lower retail production and our exit from correspondent lending, and $442 million in lower insurance expense, partially offset by higher default-related servicing expenses.
Average total earning assets declined $37.0 billion to $128.5 billion primarily driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion.
Average economic capital decreased five percent primarily due to a reduction in operational risk driven by the sale of Balboa. For more information regarding economic capital, see Supplemental Financial Data on page 17.
Home Loans
Home Loans products are available to our customers through our retail network of approximately 5,600 banking centers, mortgage loan officers in approximately 400 locations and a sales force offering our customers direct telephone and online access to our products. These products were also offered through our correspondent lending channel which we exited in the second half of 2011 and the reverse mortgage origination business which we exited in the first half of 2011. These strategic changes were made to allow greater focus on our direct-to-consumer channels, deepen relationships with existing customers and use mortgage products to acquire new relationships.
Home Loans includes ongoing loan production activities and the CRES home equity portfolio not originally selected for inclusion in the Legacy Assets & Servicing portfolio. Home Loans excludes the Legacy Assets & Servicing portfolio established as of January 1, 2011, and currently reflects a stabilized level of credit losses. For more information on Legacy Assets & Servicing within CRES, see Consumer Portfolio Credit Risk Management on page 58 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Home Loans also included insurance operations through June 30, 2011, when the ongoing insurance business was transferred to CBB following the sale of Balboa.
Home Loans net income decreased $272 million to $241 million, and $213 million to $368 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. Net interest income decreased $119 million and $321 million primarily driven by lower LHFS balances largely due to our exit from correspondent lending. Noninterest income decreased $977 million and $1.2 billion primarily due to lower insurance income as a result of the sale of Balboa, partially offset by an increase in mortgage banking income driven by higher production margins. The provision for credit losses decreased $155 million and $102 million driven by improved portfolio trends. Noninterest expense decreased $512 million and $1.1 billion primarily due to lower production expense driven by lower retail production and our exit from the correspondent channel, and decreased insurance expense.
Legacy Assets & Servicing
Legacy Assets & Servicing is responsible for servicing the residential, home equity and discontinued real estate loan portfolios, including owned loans and loans serviced for others. Legacy Assets & Servicing is also responsible for managing mortgage-related legacy exposures, including exposures related to selected owned residential mortgage, home equity and discontinued real estate loan portfolios (collectively, the Legacy Assets & Servicing portfolio). For additional information, see Legacy Assets & Servicing Portfolio below.
Legacy Assets & Servicing results reflect the net cost of legacy exposures that are included in the results of CRES, including representations and warranties provision, litigation costs, financial results of the CRES home equity portfolio selected as part of the Legacy Assets & Servicing portfolio, the financial results of the servicing operations and the results of MSR activities, including net hedge results, together with any related assets or liabilities used as economic hedges. The financial results of the servicing operations reflect certain revenues and expenses on loans serviced for others, including owned loans serviced for Home Loans and All Other. Legacy Assets & Servicing is compensated for servicing such loans on a management accounting basis with a corresponding offset recorded in Home Loans and All Other.
Servicing activities include collecting cash for principal, interest and escrow payments from borrowers, and disbursing customer draws for lines of credit and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to investors and escrow payments to third parties along with responding to customer inquiries. Our home retention efforts, including single point of contact resources, are also part of our servicing activities, along with supervising foreclosures and property dispositions. In an effort to help our customers avoid foreclosure, Legacy Assets & Servicing evaluates various workout options prior to foreclosure sales which, combined with our temporary halt of foreclosures announced in October 2010, has resulted in elongated default timelines. Although we have resumed foreclosure proceedings in nearly all states, there continues to be a backlog of foreclosure inventory. For additional information on our servicing activities, including the impact of foreclosure delays, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations – Servicing Matters and Foreclosure Processes on page 65 and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations – Other Mortgage-related Matters on page 40 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Legacy Assets & Servicing net loss decreased $14.0 billion to $1.0 billion, and $15.2 billion to $2.3 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 primarily driven by a decrease of $13.6 billion and $14.4 billion in representations and warranties provision, a $1.8 billion and $2.4 billion decline in litigation expense, a $1.2 billion and $1.8 billion decline in provision for credit losses, and $727 million and $1.2 billion lower mortgage-related assessments, waivers and similar costs related to delayed foreclosures. The Legacy Assets & Servicing goodwill balance of $2.6 billion was written off in its entirety in 2011. These improvements were partially offset by higher default-related servicing expenses.
Legacy Assets & Servicing Portfolio
The Legacy Assets & Servicing portfolio includes owned residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and discontinued real estate loans that would not have been originated under our underwriting standards at December 31, 2010. The Countrywide PCI portfolio as well as certain loans that met a pre-defined delinquency status or probability of default threshold as of January 1, 2011 are also included in the Legacy Assets & Servicing portfolio. The residential mortgage and discontinued real estate loans are held primarily on the balance sheet of All Other and the home equity loans are held in Legacy Assets & Servicing. Since determining the pool of owned loans to be included in the Legacy Assets & Servicing portfolio as of January 1, 2011, the criteria have not changed for this portfolio. However, the criteria for inclusion of certain assets and liabilities in the Legacy Assets & Servicing portfolio will continue to be evaluated over time.
The total owned loans in the Legacy Assets & Servicing portfolio decreased $10.8 billion to $144.1 billion at June 30, 2012 compared to $154.9 billion at December 31, 2011, of which $55.2 billion of the June 30, 2012 balance was reflected on the balance sheet of Legacy Assets & Servicing within CRES and the remainder are held on the balance sheet of All Other.
CRES mortgage banking income is categorized into production and servicing income. Core production income is comprised of revenue from the fair value gains and losses recognized on our interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) and LHFS, the related secondary market execution, and costs related to representations and warranties in the sales transactions along with other obligations incurred in the sales of mortgage loans. Ongoing costs related to representations and warranties and other obligations that were incurred in the sales of mortgage loans in prior periods are also included in production income.
Servicing income includes income earned in connection with servicing activities and MSR valuation adjustments, net of economic hedge activities. The costs associated with our servicing activities are included in noninterest expense.
The table below summarizes the components of mortgage banking income.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
While CRES new first mortgage loan originations declined $24.0 billion, or 63 percent, primarily due to our exit from the correspondent channel, core production revenue increased $61 million to $885 million, due to higher overall margins on direct retail originations. Retail first mortgage loan originations were $14.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $16.4 billion for the same period in 2011 and represented a drop in market share as the overall market for mortgages increased in the second quarter of 2012. Margins on retail originations increased due to decisions to price loan products in order to manage demand as well as a change in the mix of loan products to a larger proportion of Home Affordable Refinance Programs (HARP) originations. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, 81 percent of our first mortgage production volume was for refinance originations and 19 percent was for purchase originations compared to 48 percent and 52 percent in 2011.
The representations and warranties provision decreased $13.6 billion to $395 million as the provision of $14.0 billion in the year-ago quarter included $8.6 billion in provision and other expenses related to the BNY Mellon Settlement to resolve nearly all of the legacy Countrywide-issued first-lien non-GSE repurchase exposures, and $5.4 billion in provision related to other non-GSE, and to a lesser extent, GSE exposures.
Net servicing income increased $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion primarily due to improved MSR results, net of hedges, and to a lesser extent, the reduced impact of customer payments. The improved MSR results were partially offset by lower servicing fees primarily due to a reduction in the size of the servicing portfolio. For additional information, see Mortgage Servicing Rights on page 42.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Core production revenue increased $322 million to $1.8 billion primarily due to higher margins on direct retail originations, partially offset by the exit from the correspondent channel. New first mortgage loan originations declined $64.4 billion, or 71 percent, primarily due to our exit from the correspondent channel and from a decline in retail market share. Retail originations for the first six months of 2012 were $26.4 billion compared to $41.7 billion for the same period in 2011 reflecting a drop in market share as the overall market for mortgages increased in 2012. The impact of our exit from the correspondent channel and the decline in retail market share were offset by higher retail margins reflecting decisions to price loan products in order to manage demand as well as a change in the mix of loan products to a larger proportion of HARP originations.
The representations and warranties provision decreased $14.4 billion to $677 million as described in the three-month discussion.
Net servicing income increased $1.3 billion to $2.5 billion primarily driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. For additional information, see Mortgage Servicing Rights on page 42.

First mortgage production for the total Corporation was $18.0 billion and $33.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $40.4 billion and $97.1 billion for the same periods in 2011. The decrease of $22.4 billion and $63.9 billion was primarily due to our exit from the correspondent channel and a $14.8 billion reduction in retail originations primarily in the first three months of 2012 due to a decline in market share.
Home equity production was $930 million and $1.7 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1.1 billion and $2.8 billion for the same periods in 2011 primarily due to our decision to exit the reverse mortgage origination business.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
At June 30, 2012, the consumer MSR balance was $5.7 billion, which represented 47 bps of the related unpaid principal balance compared to $7.4 billion, or 54 bps of the related unpaid principal balance at December 31, 2011. The decrease in the consumer MSR balance was primarily driven by lower forecasted mortgage rates, which resulted in higher forecasted prepayment speeds. As part of the MSR fair value estimation process, the Corporation increased its estimated cost to service during 2011 due to higher costs expected from foreclosure delays and procedures, the implementation of various loan modification programs and compliance with new banking regulations, which negatively impacted MSR results, net of hedges, by $1.5 billion. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation continued to refine its estimates of cost to service and ancillary income to be consistent with market participants which resulted in a decrease to the estimated cost to service, and accordingly, an increase in the value of the MSRs of $666 million that was partially offset by prepayment and other model changes, including OAS assumptions. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation refined the OAS assumptions used in the MSR valuation model to reflect returns commensurate with market participants, considering current and pending capital rules, including the impact of Basel 3 and other factors. For additional information on our servicing activities, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations – Servicing Matters and Foreclosure Processes on page 65. For additional information on MSRs, see Note 18 – Mortgage Servicing Rights to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income decreased $515 million to $1.4 billion driven by a decrease in revenue of $374 million, or eight percent, primarily due to lower investment banking fees, lower interest rates and the benefit from accretion on certain acquired portfolios in the prior-year period, partially offset by the impact of higher average loan and deposit balances and gains from certain legacy portfolios.
The provision for credit losses was a benefit of $113 million compared to a benefit of $557 million for the same period in 2011. Asset quality continued to improve, with declines in reservable criticized exposure and nonperforming assets.
Noninterest expense decreased $56 million, or three percent, to $2.2 billion primarily due to lower personnel expenses.
Average loans and leases increased $7.7 billion, or three percent, primarily driven by growth in U.S. and non-U.S. commercial and industrial loans and non-U.S. trade finance. Average deposits increased $3.4 billion as balances continued to grow from excess market liquidity and limited alternative investment options.
The return on average economic capital decreased due to lower net income, partially offset by a decrease in average economic capital. Average economic capital decreased seven percent primarily due to a reduction in credit risk.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income decreased $508 million to $3.0 billion driven by a decrease in revenue of $625 million, or seven percent, primarily driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above.

Global Corporate and Global Commercial Banking revenue decreased $215 million to $3.5 billion and $299 million to $7.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011.
Global Treasury Services revenue decreased $19 million in both Global Corporate Banking and Global Commercial Banking for the three months ended June 30, 2012 due to the low rate environment. Global Treasury Services revenue increased $5 million and $70 million in Global Corporate Banking and Global Commercial Banking for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as growth in U.S. and non-U.S. deposit volumes was partially offset by the low rate environment.
Business Lending revenue in Global Corporate Banking increased $64 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as growth in loan volumes and gains from certain legacy portfolios were offset by lower accretion on acquired portfolios due to the impact of prepayments in prior periods. Business Lending revenue in Global Corporate Banking declined $42 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from lower net interest income impacted by the rate environment and lower accretion on acquired portfolios partially offset by the growth in loan volumes and gains from certain legacy portfolios. Business Lending revenue declined $241 million and $332 million in Global Commercial Banking for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as planned reductions in the commercial real estate and auto portfolios and lower accretion on acquired portfolios were partially offset by increases in the commercial and industrial portfolio.
Average loans and leases in Global Corporate and Global Commercial Banking increased three percent and six percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 as growth in U.S. and non-U.S. commercial and non-U.S. trade finance portfolios driven by continued international demand and improved domestic momentum was partially offset by planned reductions in the commercial real estate and auto portfolios. Average deposits in Global Corporate and Global Commercial Banking increased one and three percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as balances continued to grow due to excess market liquidity and limited alternative investment options.
Client teams and product specialists underwrite and distribute debt, equity and other loan products, and provide advisory services and tailored risk management solutions. The economics of certain investment banking and underwriting activities are shared primarily between Global Banking and Global Markets based on the contribution by, and involvement of each segment. To provide a complete discussion of our consolidated investment banking income, the table below presents total Corporation investment banking income as well as the portion attributable to Global Banking.

Investment banking fees may be adversely impacted during the remainder of 2012 by lower client activity and challenging market conditions as a result of, among other factors, the European sovereign debt crisis and continued market uncertainty.

For additional information on investment banking fees on a consolidated basis, see page 46.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income decreased $449 million to $462 million primarily driven by lower sales and trading revenue as discussed below, and a decline in new issuance activity. Investment banking fees decreased $262 million to $438 million primarily driven by lower underwriting fees due to a decline in our market share and an overall decline in the global fee pool. Noninterest expense decreased $552 million, or 17 percent, to $2.7 billion due to lower personnel and related expenses.
The return on average economic capital decreased due to lower net income, partially offset by a 32 percent decrease in average economic capital due to a decline in trading risk primarily due to lower trading-related balances.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income decreased $1.0 billion to $1.3 billion primarily driven by lower sales and trading revenue as discussed below, including higher net DVA losses. Net DVA losses were $1.6 billion compared to $234 million due to more significant tightening of our credit spreads. Investment banking fees decreased $356 million to $994 million. Noninterest expense decreased $589 million, or nine percent, to $5.8 billion due to a reduction in personnel and related expenses, and lower brokerage, clearing and exchange expenses.
Average earning assets decreased $27.1 billion to $434.4 billion driven by the movement of certain equity securities to non-earning trading-related assets. At June 30, 2012, period-end earning assets were $428.9 billion, an increase of $56.1 billion from December 31, 2011 primarily due to client activity resulting in increases in trading-related assets and securities borrowed transactions.
The return on average economic capital and average economic capital decreased due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. For more information regarding economic capital, see Supplemental Financial Data on page 17.

Sales and Trading Revenue |
Sales and trading revenue includes unrealized and realized gains and losses on trading and other assets, net interest income, and fees primarily from commissions on equity securities. The table below and related discussion present total sales and trading revenue, substantially all of which is in Global Markets with the remainder in Global Banking. Sales and trading revenue is segregated into fixed income (investment and non-investment grade corporate debt obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, RMBS and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs)), currencies (interest rate and foreign exchange contracts), commodities (primarily futures, forwards, swaps and options) and equity income from equity-linked derivatives and cash equity activity.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
Fixed income, currencies and commodities (FICC) revenue decreased $224 million, or eight percent, to $2.4 billion due to increased investor risk aversion resulting from market uncertainty stemming from the Eurozone crisis and slower economic growth as reflected in lower trading volumes. Equity income decreased $318 million, or 30 percent, to $759 million primarily due to lower commissions and trading revenue as a result of lower market volumes. Sales and trading revenue included total commissions and brokerage fee revenue of $445 million ($435 million from equities and $10 million from FICC) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $557 million ($531 million from equities and $26 million from FICC) for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The $112 million decrease in commissions and brokerage fee revenue was primarily due to lower market volumes.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
FICC revenue decreased $770 million, or 13 percent, to $5.3 billion primarily due to net DVA losses. Excluding net DVA losses, FICC revenue increased $438 million, or seven percent, to $6.7 billion, primarily driven by our rates and currencies business as a result of stronger client flows and a gain on the sale of an equity investment in our mortgage business. This was partially offset by our exit from the stand-alone proprietary trading business in the prior year. Equity income decreased $650 million, or 28 percent, to $1.7 billion. Sales and trading revenue included total commissions and brokerage fee revenue of $955 million ($930 million from equities and $25 million from FICC) for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and $1.2 billion ($1.1 billion from equities and $55 million from FICC) for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Commissions and brokerage fee revenue decreased $249 million. These changes were due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above.
Sales and trading revenue may be adversely affected in the remainder of 2012 by lower client activity and challenging market conditions as a result of, among other things, the European sovereign debt crisis, uncertainty regarding the outcome of the evolving domestic regulatory landscape, economic events, our credit ratings and market volatility.
In conjunction with regulatory reform measures and our initiative to optimize our balance sheet, we exited our stand-alone proprietary trading business as of June 30, 2011, which involved trading activities in a variety of products, including stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities. There was no proprietary trading revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $231 million and $434 million for the same periods in 2011. For additional information on restrictions on proprietary trading, see Regulatory Matters – Limitations on Proprietary Trading on page 43 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income increased $30 million to $543 million driven by lower noninterest expense and lower provision expense, partially offset by lower revenue. Revenue decreased $178 million, or four percent, to $4.3 billion primarily due to lower net interest income resulting from the continued low rate environment, and lower transactional activity, partially offset by higher asset management fees driven by continued long-term assets under management (AUM) flows and higher market levels. Noninterest expense decreased $216 million, or six percent, to $3.4 billion driven by lower FDIC and other volume-driven expenses, lower litigation expense and other expense reductions, partially offset by continued investment in the business.
The provision for credit losses decreased $25 million to $47 million due to improving portfolio trends within the residential mortgage portfolio.
Revenue from MLGWM was $3.6 billion, down four percent driven by lower transactional activity and net interest income. Revenue from U.S. Trust was $655 million, down seven percent primarily driven by lower net interest income.
The return on average economic capital was relatively unchanged as net income and average economic capital increased modestly.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
Net income increased $35 million to $1.1 billion driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. Revenue decreased $314 million, or three percent, to $8.7 billion and noninterest expense decreased $355 million, or five percent, to $6.9 billion driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above.
The provision for credit losses decreased $25 million to $93 million due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above.
Revenue from MLGWM was $7.3 billion, down three percent and revenue from U.S. Trust was $1.3 billion, down six percent driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above.
The return on average economic capital increased primarily due to higher net income while average economic capital remained relatively unchanged. For more information regarding economic capital, see Supplemental Financial Data on page 17.
GWIM results are impacted by the migration of clients and their related deposit and loan balances to or from CBB, CRES and the ALM portfolio, as presented in the table below. Migration in 2011 included the movement of balances to Merrill Edge, which is in CBB. Subsequent to the date of the migration, the associated net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense are recorded in the business to which the clients migrated.

(1) | For presentation purposes, in segments where the total of liabilities and equity exceeds assets, which are generally deposit-taking segments, we allocate assets from All Other to those segments to match liabilities (i.e., deposits) and allocated equity. Such allocated assets were $516.6 billion and $514.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $501.4 billion and $493.7 billion for the same periods in 2011, and $526.4 billion and $495.3 billion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. |

All Other consists of two broad groupings, Equity Investments and Other. Equity Investments includes Global Principal Investments (GPI) which is comprised of a diversified portfolio of investments in private equity, real estate and other alternative investments. These investments are made either directly in a company or held through a fund with related income recorded in equity investment income. Equity Investments also includes Strategic investments which include our investment in CCB in which we currently hold approximately one percent of the outstanding common shares, and certain other investments. For additional information on our investment in CCB, see Note 4 – Securities to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Other includes liquidating businesses, ALM activities such as the residential mortgage portfolio and investment securities, as well as economic hedges, gains/losses on structured liabilities, the impact of certain allocation methodologies and accounting hedge ineffectiveness. Other also includes certain residential mortgage and discontinued real estate loans that are managed by Legacy Assets & Servicing within CRES.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011
The net loss increased $169 million to $336 million primarily due to lower net interest income as a result of lower securities yields, a decrease in equity investment income, lower gains on the sales of debt securities and negative fair value adjustments on structured liabilities of $62 million compared to positive fair value adjustments of $214 million in the same period in 2011. Partially offsetting these items are a $1.3 billion reduction in the provision for credit losses and $505 million of net gains resulting from the repurchase of certain debt and trust preferred securities. Equity investment income decreased $1.2 billion as the year-ago quarter included an $836 million CCB dividend and a $377 million gain on the sale of an equity investment.
Noninterest expense increased $262 million due to higher litigation expense. There were no merger and restructuring expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $159 million in the same period in 2011.
The provision for credit losses decreased $1.3 billion to $536 million primarily driven by continued improvement in credit quality in the residential mortgage portfolio as well as a lower provision related to the Countrywide PCI discontinued real estate and residential mortgage portfolios.
The income tax benefit was $661 million compared to an expense of $130 million and changed primarily as a result of the larger pre-tax loss in All Other, a valuation allowance recorded in the second quarter of 2011 and recurring tax preference items.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2011
The net loss increased $1.6 billion to $2.9 billion primarily due to lower net interest income as a result of lower securities yields, negative fair value adjustments on structured liabilities of $3.4 billion related to the tightening of our credit spreads during the 2012 period compared to $372 million of negative fair value adjustments in the same period in 2011 and a $2.2 billion decrease in equity investment income. Partially offsetting these items are a $2.2 billion reduction in the provision for credit losses and $1.7 billion of net gains resulting from repurchases of certain debt and trust preferred securities in 2012. The decrease in equity investment income was a result of the same factors described in the three-month discussion above, as well as a $1.1 billion gain related to an IPO of an equity investment in the six-month period in 2011.
Noninterest expense increased $817 million driven by the same factor as described in the three-month discussion above. There were no merger and restructuring expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $361 million in the same period in 2011.
The provision for credit losses decreased $2.2 billion to $1.8 billion driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above.
The income tax benefit was $2.2 billion compared to a benefit of $759 million and changed primarily due to the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above.

Equity investments included in All Other decreased $1.6 billion at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011, with substantially all of the decrease due to sales in the GPI portfolio. GPI had unfunded equity commitments of $282 million and $710 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 related to certain investments. In connection with the Corporation's strategy to reduce risk-weighted assets, we sold certain investments, including related commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations |
We have contractual obligations to make future payments on debt and lease agreements. Additionally, in the normal course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements whereby we commit to future purchases of products or services from unaffiliated parties. For additional information on our obligations and commitments, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations on page 33 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as Note 13 – Long-term Debt and Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Representations and Warranties |
We securitize first-lien residential mortgage loans generally in the form of MBS guaranteed by the GSEs or by Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) in the case of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-insured, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)-guaranteed and Rural Housing Service-guaranteed mortgage loans. In addition, in prior years, legacy companies and certain subsidiaries sold pools of first-lien residential mortgage loans and home equity loans as private-label securitizations (in certain of these securitizations, monolines or financial guarantee providers insured all or some of the securities), or in the form of whole loans. In connection with these transactions, we or our subsidiaries or legacy companies make or have made various representations and warranties. Breaches of these representations and warranties may result in the requirement to repurchase mortgage loans or to otherwise make whole or provide other remedies to the GSEs, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with respect to FHA-insured loans, VA, whole-loan investors, securitization trusts, monoline insurers or other financial guarantors (collectively, repurchases). In such cases, we would be exposed to any credit loss on the repurchased mortgage loans after accounting for any mortgage insurance or mortgage guaranty payments that we may receive.
Subject to the requirements and limitations of the applicable sales and securitization agreements, these representations and warranties can be enforced by the GSEs, HUD, VA, the whole-loan investor, the securitization trustee or others as governed by the applicable agreement or, in certain first-lien and home equity securitizations where monoline insurers or other financial guarantee providers have insured all or some of the securities issued, by the monoline insurer or other financial guarantor at any time. In the case of loans sold to parties other than the GSEs or GNMA, the contractual liability to repurchase typically arises only if there is a breach of the representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects the interest of the investor, or investors, in the loan, or of the monoline insurer or other financial guarantor (as applicable). Contracts with the GSEs do not contain equivalent language, while GNMA generally limits repurchases to loans that are not insured or guaranteed, as required.
For additional information about accounting for representations and warranties and our representations and warranties claims and exposures, see Complex Accounting Estimates – Representations and Warranties. Additionally, see Note 9 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees and Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Representations and Warranties Bulk Settlement Actions
We have settled, or entered into agreements to settle, certain bulk representations and warranties claims with a trustee (the Trustee) for certain legacy Countrywide private-label securitization trusts (the BNY Mellon Settlement); two monoline insurers Assured Guaranty Ltd. (the Assured Guaranty Settlement) and Syncora Guarantee Inc. and Syncora Holdings, Ltd. (the Syncora Settlement); and with each of the GSEs (the GSE Agreements). We have vigorously contested any request for repurchase when we conclude that a valid basis for repurchase does not exist and will continue to do so in the future. However, in an effort to resolve these legacy mortgage-related issues, we have reached bulk settlements, or agreements for bulk settlements, including settlement amounts which are material, with the above-referenced counterparties in lieu of a loan-by-loan review process. We may reach other settlements in the future if opportunities arise on terms we believe to be advantageous. However, there can be no assurance that we will reach future settlements or, if we do, that the terms of past settlements, such as the Syncora Settlement, can be relied upon to predict the terms of future settlements. For a summary of the larger bulk settlement actions taken in 2010 and 2011 and the related impact on the representations and warranties provision and liability, see Note 9 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees and Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These bulk settlements generally did not cover all transactions with the relevant counterparties or all potential claims that may arise, including in some instances securities law, fraud and servicing claims, and our liability in connection with the transactions and claims not covered by these settlements could be material.
Recent Developments Related to the BNY Mellon Settlement
The BNY Mellon Settlement is subject to final court approval and certain other conditions. Under an order entered by the state court in connection with the BNY Mellon Settlement, potentially interested persons had the opportunity to give notice of intent to object to the settlement (including on the basis that more information was needed) until August 30, 2011. Approximately 44 groups or entities appeared prior to the deadline; seven of those groups or entities have subsequently withdrawn from the proceeding and one motion to intervene was denied. Certain of these groups or entities filed notices of intent to object, made motions to intervene, or both filed notices of intent to object and made motions to intervene. The parties filing motions to intervene include the Attorneys General of the states of New York and Delaware; the Attorneys General's motions were granted on June 6, 2012.
Certain of the motions to intervene and/or notices of intent to object allege various purported bases for opposition to the settlement. These include challenges to the nature of the court proceeding and the lack of an opt-out mechanism, alleged conflicts of interest on the part of the institutional investor group and/or the Trustee, the inadequacy of the settlement amount and the method of allocating the settlement amount among the 525 legacy Countrywide first-lien and five second-lien non-GSE residential mortgage-backed securitization trusts (the Covered Trusts), while other motions do not make substantive objections but state that they need more information about the settlement. Parties who filed notices stating that they wished to obtain more information about the settlement include the FDIC and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
An investor opposed to the settlement removed the proceeding to federal district court, and the federal district court denied the Trustee's motion to remand the proceeding to state court. On February 27, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals issued an opinion reversing the district court denial of the Trustee's motion to remand the proceeding to state court and ordering that the proceeding be remanded to state court. On April 24, 2012, a hearing was held on threshold issues, at which the court denied the objectors' motion to convert the proceeding to a plenary proceeding. Several status hearings on discovery and other case administration matters have taken place. We are not a party to the proceeding.
It is not currently possible to predict how many of the parties who have appeared in the court proceeding will ultimately object to the BNY Mellon Settlement, whether the objections will prevent receipt of final court approval or the ultimate outcome of the court approval process, which can include appeals and could take a substantial period of time. In particular, conduct of discovery and the resolution of the objections to the settlement and any appeals could take a substantial period of time and these factors could materially delay the timing of final court approval. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict when the court approval process will be completed.
If final court approval is not obtained by December 31, 2015, we and legacy Countrywide may withdraw from the BNY Mellon Settlement, if the Trustee consents. The BNY Mellon Settlement also provides that if Covered Trusts representing unpaid principal balance exceeding a specified amount are excluded from the final BNY Mellon Settlement, based on investor objections or otherwise, we and legacy Countrywide have the option to withdraw from the BNY Mellon Settlement pursuant to the terms of the BNY Mellon Settlement agreement.
There can be no assurance that final court approval of the BNY Mellon Settlement will be obtained, that all conditions to the BNY Mellon Settlement will be satisfied or, if certain conditions to the BNY Mellon Settlement permitting withdrawal are met, that we and legacy Countrywide will not determine to withdraw from the settlement. If final court approval is not obtained or if we and legacy Countrywide determine to withdraw from the BNY Mellon Settlement in accordance with its terms, our future representations and warranties losses could be substantially different than existing accruals and the estimated range of possible loss over existing accruals as described under Experience with Investors Other than Government-sponsored Enterprises on page 63. For more information about the risks associated with the BNY Mellon Settlement, see Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Syncora Settlement
On July 17, 2012, we, including certain of our affiliates, entered into an agreement with Syncora Guarantee Inc. and Syncora Holdings, Ltd. (Syncora) to resolve all of the monoline insurer's outstanding and potential claims related to alleged representations and warranties breaches involving eight first- and six second-lien RMBS trusts where Syncora provided financial guarantee insurance. The agreement, among other things, also resolves historical loan servicing issues and other potential liabilities to Syncora with respect to these trusts. The agreement covers the five second-lien RMBS trusts that were the subject of litigation and nine other first- and second-lien RMBS trusts, which had an original principal balance of first-lien mortgages of approximately $9.6 billion and second-lien mortgages of approximately $7.7 billion. As of June 30, 2012, $3.0 billion of loans in these first-lien trusts and $1.4 billion of loans in these second-lien trusts have defaulted or are 180 days or more past due (severely delinquent). The agreement provided for a cash payment of $375 million to Syncora. In addition, the parties entered into securities transfers and purchase transactions in connection with the settlement in order to terminate certain other relationships among the parties. The total cost to the Corporation was approximately $400 million and was fully accrued for by the Corporation at June 30, 2012.
Unresolved Claims Status
Unresolved Repurchase Claims
At June 30, 2012, the total notional amount of our unresolved representations and warranties repurchase claims was approximately $22.7 billion compared to $12.6 billion at December 31, 2011. These repurchase claims do not include any repurchase claims related to the Covered Trusts. Unresolved repurchase claims represent the notional amount of repurchase claims made by counterparties, typically the outstanding principal balance or the unpaid principal balance at the time of default. For a table of unresolved repurchase claims, see Note 8 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In the case of first-lien mortgages, the claim amount is often significantly greater than the expected loss amount due to the benefit of collateral and, in some cases, mortgage insurance or mortgage guarantee payments. Claims received from a counterparty remain as outstanding until the underlying loan is repurchased, the claim is rescinded by the counterparty, or the claim is otherwise resolved. When a claim is denied and we do not receive a response from the counterparty, the claim remains in the unresolved claims balance until resolution. We expect unresolved repurchase claims to continue to increase due to, among other things, our differences with Fannie Mae (FNMA) regarding our interpretation of the governing contracts ongoing litigation with monoline insurers, and a continuing submission of claims by private-label securitization trustees in combination with the lack of an established process to resolve disputes with private-label securitization trustees. For more information see Estimated Range of Possible Loss – Government-sponsored Enterprises on page 60.
The notional amount of unresolved GSE repurchase claims totaled $11.0 billion at June 30, 2012. We continued to experience elevated levels of new claims from FNMA, including claims related to loans on which borrowers have made a significant number of payments (e.g., at least 25 payments) and, to a lesser extent, loans which defaulted more than 18 months prior to the repurchase request. Unresolved claims from FNMA totaled $10.1 billion at June 30, 2012, including $7.3 billion of claims related to loans on which the borrower has made at least 25 payments. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we received $6.3 billion of claims from FNMA, including $5.5 billion of claims related to loans originated between 2005 and 2007. This amount includes $4.4 billion of loans on which the borrower had made at least 25 payments, including $2.1 billion of loans on which the borrower had made at least 37 payments. Historically, for those claims that have been approved for repurchase from the GSEs, our loss severity rate on loans originated between 2004 and 2008 has averaged approximately 55 percent of the claim amount, which may or may not be predictive of future loss severity rates. We continue to believe that our interpretation of the governing contracts is consistent with past practices between the parties and our contractual obligations. For further discussion of our experience with the GSEs, see Government-sponsored Enterprises Experience on page 61.
The notional amount of unresolved monoline repurchase claims totaled $3.1 billion at June 30, 2012. We have had limited repurchase claims experience with monoline insurers due to ongoing litigation and have not received a significant amount of new repurchase claims from the monolines in recent periods. We have reviewed and declined to repurchase substantially all of the unresolved claims at June 30, 2012 based on an assessment of whether a breach exists that materially and adversely affected the insurer's interest in the mortgage loan. Further, in our experience, the monolines have been generally unwilling to withdraw repurchase claims, regardless of whether and what evidence was offered to refute a claim. Substantially all of the unresolved monoline claims pertain to second-lien loans and, except those that have been resolved in the Syncora Settlement, are currently the subject of litigation. In addition, $674 million of monoline claims outstanding at June 30, 2012 were resolved through the Syncora Settlement on July 17, 2012. For further discussion of our experience with the monoline insurers, see Monoline Insurers on page 63.
The notional amount of unresolved claims from private-label securitization trustees, whole-loan investors and others increased to $8.6 billion at June 30, 2012 compared to $3.3 billion at December 31, 2011. The increase is primarily due to increases in submission of claims by private-label securitization trustees. We anticipated an increase in aggregate non-GSE claims at the time of the BNY Mellon Settlement a year ago, and such increase in aggregate non-GSE claims was taken into consideration in developing the increase in our reserves at that time. We do expect unresolved repurchase claims from private-label securitization trustees to increase as claims continue to be submitted by private-label securitization trustees and there is not an established process for the ultimate resolution of claims on which there is a disagreement. At least 25 payments have been made on approximately 63 percent of the defaulted and severely delinquent loans sold to non-GSE securitizations or as whole loans between 2004 and 2008. For further discussion of our experience with whole loans and private-label securitizations, see Whole Loans and Private-label Securitizations on page 64.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation received $8.2 billion in new repurchase claims, including $4.4 billion submitted by the GSEs for both legacy Countrywide originations not covered by the GSE Agreements and legacy Bank of America originations, $3.7 billion submitted by private-label securitization trustees and $119 million submitted by whole-loan investors. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, $1.6 billion in claims were resolved, primarily with the GSEs. Of the claims resolved, $876 million were resolved through rescissions and $704 million were resolved through mortgage repurchases and make-whole payments.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Corporation received $12.9 billion in new repurchase claims, including $7.4 billion submitted by the GSEs for both legacy Countrywide originations not covered by the GSE Agreements and legacy Bank of America originations, $5.3 billion submitted by private-label securitization trustees and $226 million submitted by whole-loan investors. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, $2.8 billion in claims were resolved, primarily with the GSEs. Of the claims resolved, $1.6 billion were resolved through rescissions and $1.2 billion were resolved through mortgage repurchases and make-whole payments. In both periods new claims from monolines remained low, which the Corporation believes was due in part to the monolines' continued focus on litigation. For more information on repurchase claims received from the GSEs, monoline insurers, and private-label securitization trustees, whole-loan investors and others, and the resolution of such claims, see Note 8 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information concerning FHA-insured loans, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations – Servicing Matters and Foreclosure Processes on page 65.
In addition and not included in total unresolved repurchase claims of $22.7 billion, we have received repurchase demands from private-label securitization investors and a master servicer where we believe the claimants have not satisfied the contractual thresholds to direct the securitization trustee to take action and/or that these demands are otherwise procedurally or substantively invalid. The total amounts outstanding of such demands were $3.1 billion and $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 no additional such demands were received. We do not believe that the $3.1 billion in demands received are valid repurchase claims, and therefore it is not possible to predict the resolution with respect to such demands. Of the demands outstanding at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $1.7 billion relates to loans underlying securitizations included in the BNY Mellon Settlement. A claimant, Walnut Place (11 entities with the common name Walnut Place, including Walnut Place LLC, and Walnut Place II LLC through Walnut Place XI LLC), had filed two lawsuits against the Corporation relating to $1.4 billion of these demands; following determination by the courts that the governing agreements bar repurchase claims by certificateholders and the consequent dismissal of Walnut Place's first lawsuit, the parties stipulated in July 2012 to the dismissal of Walnut Place's second lawsuit. For more information on the litigation with Walnut Place LLC, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. If the BNY Mellon Settlement is approved by the court, the remaining repurchase demands related to loans underlying securitizations included in the BNY Mellon Settlement will be resolved by the settlement.
Open Mortgage Insurance Rescission Notices
In addition to repurchase claims, we receive notices from mortgage insurance companies of claim denials, cancellations or coverage rescission (collectively, MI rescission notices) and the amount of such notices has remained elevated. At June 30, 2012, we had approximately 106,000 open MI rescission notices compared to 90,000 at December 31, 2011. Through June 30, 2012, 28 percent of the MI rescission notices received have been resolved. Of those resolved, 21 percent were resolved through our acceptance of the MI rescission, 51 percent were resolved through reinstatement of coverage or payment of the claim by the mortgage insurance company, and 28 percent were resolved on an aggregate basis through settlement, policy commutation or similar arrangement. As of June 30, 2012, 72 percent of the MI rescission notices we have received have not yet been resolved. Of those not yet resolved, 44 percent are implicated by ongoing litigation where no loan-level review is currently contemplated (nor required to preserve our legal rights). In this litigation, the litigating mortgage insurance companies are also seeking bulk rescission of certain policies, separate and apart from loan-by-loan denials or rescissions. We are in the process of reviewing 37 percent of the remaining open MI rescission notices, and we have reviewed and are contesting the MI rescission with respect to 63 percent of these MI rescission notices. Of the remaining open MI rescission notices, 23 percent are also the subject of ongoing litigation; although, at present, these MI rescissions are being processed in a manner generally consistent with those not affected by litigation. For additional information, see Note 8 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In 2011, FNMA issued an announcement requiring servicers to report all MI rescission notices with respect to loans sold to FNMA and confirmed FNMA's view of its position that a mortgage insurance company's issuance of a MI rescission notice constitutes a breach of the lender's representations and warranties and permits FNMA to require the lender to repurchase the mortgage loan or promptly remit a make-whole payment covering FNMA's loss even if the lender is contesting the MI rescission notice. According to FNMA's announcement, through June 30, 2012, lenders had 90 days to appeal FNMA's repurchase request and 30 days (or such other time frame specified by FNMA) to appeal after that date. We also expect that in many cases, particularly in the context of individual or bulk rescissions being contested through litigation, we will not be able to resolve MI rescission notices with the mortgage insurance companies before the expiration of the appeal period prescribed by the FNMA announcement. We have informed FNMA that we do not believe that the new policy is valid under our contracts with FNMA, and that we do not intend to repurchase loans under the terms set forth in the new policy. Our pipeline of outstanding repurchase claims from the GSEs based solely on MI rescission notices has increased to $2.0 billion at June 30, 2012 from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2011. Approximately 75 percent of this increase relates to loans for which the borrower has made at least 25 payments. If we are required to abide by the terms of FNMA's stated policy regarding MI rescission notices, the amount of loans we are required to repurchase could increase; and if it does, our representations and warranties liability will increase. For additional information on the FNMA announcement, see Note 8 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations – Government-sponsored Enterprises Experience on page 37 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Representations and Warranties Liability
The liability for representations and warranties and corporate guarantees is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Corporation's Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related provision is included in mortgage banking income. The estimate of the liability for representations and warranties is based on currently available information, significant judgment and a number of other factors that are subject to change. Changes to any one of these factors could significantly impact the estimate of the liability and could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations for any particular period. For additional information, see Note 8 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The liability for obligations under representations and warranties with respect to GSE and non-GSE exposures and the corresponding estimated range of possible loss for non-GSE representations and warranties exposures does not consider any losses related to litigation matters disclosed in Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements or Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, nor do they include any separate foreclosure costs and related costs, assessments and compensatory fees or any other possible losses related to potential claims for breaches of performance of servicing obligations, except as such losses are included as potential costs of the BNY Mellon Settlement, potential securities law or fraud claims or potential indemnity or other claims against us, including claims related to loans insured by the FHA. We are not able to reasonably estimate the amount of any possible loss with respect to any such servicing, securities law, fraud or other claims against us, except to the extent reflected in the aggregate range of possible loss for litigation and regulatory matters disclosed in Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements, however, such loss could be material.
At both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the liability was $15.9 billion. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the provision for representations and warranties and corporate guarantees was $395 million and $677 million compared to $14.0 billion and $15.1 billion for the same periods in 2011. The provision in the three months ended June 30, 2012 included provision related to non-GSE exposures where it was determined that the loss was probable based on recent activity with certain counterparties and, to a lesser extent, GSE exposures. The decrease in the provision from the prior-year period was primarily due to a higher provision in the prior-year period attributable to the BNY Mellon Settlement, other non-GSE exposures, and to a lesser extent, GSE exposures. For additional information, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations – Representations and Warranties Liability on page 35 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Estimated Range of Possible Loss
Government-sponsored Enterprises
Our estimated liability as of June 30, 2012 for obligations under representations and warranties with respect to GSE exposures is necessarily dependent on, and limited by, our historical claims experience with the GSEs. It includes our understanding of our agreements with the GSEs and projections of future defaults as well as certain other assumptions and judgmental factors. Accordingly, future provisions associated with obligations under representations and warranties made to the GSEs may be materially impacted if actual experiences are different from historical experience or our understandings, interpretations or assumptions. Over time FNMA's repurchase requests, standards for rescission of repurchase requests and resolution processes have become inconsistent with its own past conduct and the Corporation's interpretation of the parties' contractual obligations. While we are seeking to resolve our differences with FNMA, whether we will be able to achieve a resolution of these differences on acceptable terms, and the timing and cost thereof, is subject to significant uncertainty.
It is reasonably possible that future representations and warranties losses with respect to GSE exposures may occur in excess of the amounts recorded for the GSE exposures, and the amount of any such additional liability could be material. Due to the significant uncertainty related to our continued differences with FNMA concerning each party's interpretation of the requirements of the governing contracts, it is not possible to reasonably estimate what the outcome or range of such additional possible loss may be. For information related to the sensitivity of the assumptions used to estimate our liability for obligations under representations and warranties, see Complex Accounting Estimates – Representations and Warranties on page 133.
Non-Government-sponsored Enterprises
The population of private-label securitizations included in the BNY Mellon Settlement encompasses almost all legacy Countrywide first-lien private-label securitizations including loans originated between 2004 and 2008. For the remainder of the population of private-label securitizations, other claimants have come forward and we believe it is probable that other claimants in certain types of securitizations may continue to come forward, with claims that meet the requirements of the terms of the securitizations. During the second quarter of 2012, we have seen an increase in repurchase claims from certain private-label securitization trustees. We believe that the provisions recorded in connection with the BNY Mellon Settlement and the additional non-GSE representations and warranties provisions recorded have provided for a substantial portion of our non-GSE representations and warranties exposure. However, it is reasonably possible that future representations and warranties losses may occur in excess of the amounts recorded for these exposures. In addition, we have not recorded any representations and warranties liability for certain potential monoline exposures and certain potential whole-loan and other private-label securitization exposures. We currently estimate that the range of possible loss related to non-GSE representations and warranties exposure as of June 30, 2012 could be up to $5 billion over existing accruals. The estimated range of possible loss for non-GSE representations and warranties does not represent a probable loss, and is based on currently available information, significant judgment and a number of assumptions that are subject to change. For additional information about the methodology used to estimate the non-GSE representations and warranties liability and the corresponding range of possible loss, see Note 8 – Representations and Warranties Obligations and Corporate Guarantees to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Future provisions and/or ranges of possible loss for non-GSE representations and warranties may be significantly impacted if actual experiences are different from our assumptions in our predictive models, including, without limitation, those regarding ultimate resolution of the BNY Mellon Settlement, estimated repurchase rates, economic conditions, estimated home prices, consumer and counterparty behavior, and a variety of other judgmental factors. Adverse developments with respect to one or more of the assumptions underlying the liability for representations and warranties and the corresponding estimated range of possible loss could result in significant increases to future provisions and this estimated range of possible loss. For example, if courts, in the context of claims brought by private-label securitization trustees, were to disagree with our interpretation that the underlying agreements require a claimant to prove that the representations and warranties breach was the cause of the loss, it could significantly impact this estimated range of possible loss. Additionally, if court rulings related to monoline litigation, including one related to us, that have allowed sampling of loan files instead of requiring a loan-by-loan review to determine if a representations and warranties breach has occurred are followed generally by the courts, private-label securitization investors may view litigation as a more attractive alternative compared to a loan-by-loan review. For additional information regarding these issues, see MBIA litigation in Litigation and Regulatory Matters in Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Finally, although we believe that the representations and warranties typically given in non-GSE transactions are less rigorous and actionable than those given in GSE transactions, we do not have significant experience resolving loan-level claims in non-GSE transactions to measure the impact of these differences on the probability that a loan will be required to be repurchased.
Government-sponsored Enterprises Experience
Our current repurchase claims experience with the GSEs is concentrated in the 2004 through 2008 vintages where we believe that our exposure to representations and warranties liability is most significant. Our repurchase claims experience related to loans originated prior to 2004 has not been significant and we believe that the changes made to our operations and underwriting policies have reduced our exposure related to loans originated after 2008.
Bank of America and legacy Countrywide sold approximately $1.1 trillion of loans originated from 2004 through 2008 to the GSEs. As of June 30, 2012, 12 percent of the original funded balance of loans in these vintages have defaulted or are 180 days or more past due (severely delinquent). At least 25 payments have been made on approximately 66 percent of severely delinquent or defaulted loans. Through June 30, 2012, we have received $39.1 billion in repurchase claims associated with these vintages, representing approximately three percent of the original funded balance of loans sold to the GSEs in these vintages. We have resolved $27.8 billion of these claims with a net loss experience of approximately 31 percent, after considering the effect of collateral. Our collateral loss severity rate on approved repurchases has averaged approximately 55 percent. In addition, $839 million of claims were extinguished as a result of the agreement with Freddie Mac (FHLMC) in 2010.
Table 15 highlights our experience with the GSEs related to loans originated from 2004 through 2008.

We continued to experience elevated levels of new claims from FNMA, including claims on loans on which borrowers have made a significant number of payments (e.g., at least 25 payments) and, to a lesser extent, loans which defaulted more than 18 months prior to the repurchase request. Over time the criteria and the processes by which FNMA is ultimately willing to resolve claims have changed in ways that are unfavorable to us. In light of our disagreements with FNMA, we have adopted repurchase guidelines in order to be more consistent with past practices between the parties and with our understanding of our contractual obligations. These developments have resulted in an increase in claims outstanding from the GSEs to $11.0 billion at June 30, 2012 from $6.3 billion at December 31, 2011. Outstanding claims related to loans on which the borrower had made at least 25 payments totaled $7.9 billion at June 30, 2012 compared to $3.7 billion at December 31, 2011. We expect outstanding claims to continue to increase until we have resolved our differences with FNMA. While we are seeking to resolve our differences with FNMA, whether we will be able to achieve a resolution of these differences on acceptable terms, and the timing and cost thereof, continues to be subject to significant uncertainty. We have repurchased and continue to repurchase loans to the extent required under the contracts that govern our relationships with the GSEs. For additional information, see Open Mortgage Insurance Rescission Notices on page 59.
Beginning in February 2012, we are no longer delivering purchase money and non-Making Home Affordable (MHA) refinance first-lien residential mortgage products into FNMA MBS pools because of the expiration and mutual non-renewal of certain contractual delivery commitments and variances that permit efficient delivery of such loans to FNMA. While we continue to have a valid agreement with FNMA permitting the delivery of purchase money and non-MHA refinance first-lien residential mortgage products without such contractual variances, the delivery of such products without contractual delivery commitments and variances would involve time and expense to implement the necessary operational and systems changes and otherwise presents practical operational issues. The non-renewal of these variances was influenced, in part, by our ongoing differences with FNMA in other contexts, including repurchase claims, as discussed above. We do not expect this change to have a material impact on our CRES business, as we expect to rely on other sources of liquidity to actively extend mortgage credit to our customers including continuing to deliver such products into FHLMC MBS pools. Additionally, we continue to deliver MHA refinancing products into FNMA MBS pools and continue to engage in dialogue to attempt to address our ongoing differences with FNMA.
Experience with Investors Other than Government-sponsored Enterprises
As detailed in Table 16, legacy companies and certain subsidiaries sold pools of first-lien mortgage loans and home equity loans as private-label securitizations or in the form of whole loans originated from 2004 through 2008 with an original principal balance of $963 billion to investors other than GSEs (although the GSEs are investors in certain private-label securitizations), of which approximately $517 billion in principal has been paid and $243 billion has defaulted or is severely delinquent at June 30, 2012. For additional information, see Experience with Investors Other than Government-sponsored Enterprises on page 38 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Table 16 details the population of loans originated between 2004 and 2008 and the population of loans sold as whole loans or in non-agency securitizations by entity and product together with the defaulted and severely delinquent loans stratified by the number of payments the borrower made prior to default or becoming severely delinquent as of June 30, 2012. As shown in Table 16, at least 25 payments have been made on approximately 63 percent of the defaulted and severely delinquent loans. We believe many of the defaults observed in these securitizations have been, and continue to be, driven by external factors like the substantial depreciation in home prices, persistently high unemployment and other negative economic trends, diminishing the likelihood that any loan defect (assuming one exists at all) was the cause of a loan’s default. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 25 percent of the loans sold to non-GSEs that were originated between 2004 and 2008 have defaulted or are severely delinquent. Of the original principal balance for Countrywide, $409 billion is included in the BNY Mellon Settlement and of this amount $113 billion is defaulted or severely delinquent at June 30, 2012.

Monoline Insurers
Legacy companies sold $184.5 billion of loans originated between 2004 and 2008 into monoline-insured securitizations, which are included in Table 16, including $103.9 billion of first-lien mortgages and $80.6 billion of second-lien mortgages. Of these balances, $46.9 billion of the first-lien mortgages and $51.0 billion of the second-lien mortgages have been paid in full and $34.4 billion of the first-lien mortgages and $17.3 billion of the second-lien mortgages have defaulted or are severely delinquent at June 30, 2012. At least 25 payments have been made on approximately 58 percent of the defaulted and severely delinquent loans. Of the first-lien mortgages sold, $39.1 billion, or 38 percent, were sold as whole loans to other institutions which subsequently included these loans with those of other originators in private-label securitization transactions in which the monolines typically insured one or more securities. Through June 30, 2012, we have received $5.6 billion of representations and warranties claims from the monoline insurers related to the monoline-insured transactions, predominately second-lien transactions. Of these repurchase claims, $1.6 billion were resolved through the Assured Guaranty Settlement, $760 million were resolved through repurchase or indemnification with losses of $677 million, and $122 million were rescinded by the
monoline insurers or paid in full. In addition, $674 million of monoline claims outstanding at June 30, 2012 were resolved through the Syncora Settlement on July 17, 2012. The majority of resolved claims with monolines related to second-lien mortgages. Our limited experience with most of the monoline insurers has varied in terms of process, and experience with these counterparties has not been predictable. Our limited claims experience with the monoline insurers, other than Assured Guaranty and Syncora, in the repurchase process is a result of these monoline insurers having instituted litigation against legacy Countrywide and/or Bank of America, which limits our ability to enter into constructive dialogue with these monolines to resolve the open claims. For additional information, see Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
At June 30, 2012, for loans originated between 2004 and 2008, the unpaid principal balance of loans related to unresolved monoline repurchase claims was $3.1 billion, substantially all of which we have reviewed and declined to repurchase based on an assessment of whether a material breach exists. This amount includes $674 million of claims that were resolved through the Syncora Settlement on July 17, 2012. At June 30, 2012, the unpaid principal balance of loans in these vintages for which the monolines had requested loan files for review but for which no repurchase claim had been received was $7.1 billion, excluding loans that had been paid in full and including $1.8 billion of file requests for loans included in trusts settled with Syncora subsequent to June 30, 2012. There will likely be additional requests for loan files in the future leading to repurchase claims. In addition, we have received claims from private-label securitization trustees related to first-lien third-party sponsored securitizations that include monoline insurance. For additional information, see Whole Loans and Private-label Securitizations below.
It is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate probable future repurchase obligations with respect to those monolines with whom we have limited repurchase experience and, therefore, no representations and warranties liability has been recorded in connection with these monolines, other than a liability for repurchase claims where we have determined that there are valid loan defects and determined that there is a breach of a representation and warranty and that any other requirements for repurchase have been met. Outside of the standard quality control process that is an integral part of our loan origination process, we do not generally review loan files until we receive a repurchase claim, including with respect to monoline exposures. Our estimated range of possible loss related to non-GSE representations and warranties exposure as of June 30, 2012 included possible losses related to these monoline insurers.
Whole Loans and Private-label Securitizations
Legacy entities, and to a lesser extent Bank of America, sold loans to investors as whole loans or via private-label securitizations. The majority of the loans sold were included in private-label securitizations, including third-party sponsored transactions. The loans sold with total principal balance of $778.2 billion, included in Table 16, were originated between 2004 and 2008, of which $418.8 billion have been paid in full and $191.3 billion are defaulted or severely delinquent at June 30, 2012. We provided representations and warranties to the whole-loan investors and these investors may retain those rights even when the whole loans were aggregated with other collateral into private-label securitizations sponsored by the whole-loan investors. At least 25 payments have been made on approximately 65 percent of the defaulted and severely delinquent loans. We have received approximately $14.4 billion of representations and warranties claims from whole-loan investors and private-label securitization investors and trustees related to these vintages, including $6.1 billion from whole-loan investors, $7.5 billion from private-label securitization trustees and $818 million from one private-label securitization counterparty. In private-label securitizations, certain presentation thresholds need to be met in order for investors to direct a trustee to assert repurchase claims. Recent increases in new private-label claims are primarily related to repurchase requests received from trustees for private-label securitization transactions not included in the BNY Mellon Settlement, including claims related to first-lien third-party sponsored securitizations that include monoline insurance. Over time, there has been an increase in requests for loan files from certain private-label securitization trustees, as well as requests for tolling agreements to toll the applicable statutes of limitation relating to representations and warranties claims, and we believe it is likely that these requests will lead to an increase in repurchase claims from private-label securitization trustees with standing to bring such claims.
We have resolved $6.1 billion of the claims received from whole-loan investors and private-label securitization investors and trustees with losses of $1.5 billion. The majority of these resolved claims were from third-party whole-loan investors. Approximately $2.8 billion of these claims were resolved through repurchase or indemnification and $3.3 billion were rescinded by the investor. At June 30, 2012, for loans originated between 2004 and 2008, the notional amount of unresolved repurchase requests was $8.3 billion. We have performed an initial review with respect to $5.7 billion of these claims and do not believe a valid basis for repurchase has been established by the claimant and are still in the process of reviewing the remaining $2.6 billion of these claims.
Certain whole-loan investors have engaged with us in a consistent repurchase process and we have used that and other experience to record the liability related to existing and future claims from such counterparties. The BNY Mellon Settlement led to the determination that we had sufficient experience to record a liability related to our exposure on certain other private-label securitizations but did not provide sufficient experience related to certain private-label securitizations sponsored by third-party whole-loan investors. As it relates to the other private-label securitizations sponsored by third-party whole-loan investors and certain other whole loan sales, it is not possible to determine whether a loss has occurred or is probable and, therefore, no representations and warranties liability has been recorded in connection with these transactions. We have not reviewed loan files related to private-label securitizations sponsored by third-party whole-loan investors (and are not required by the governing documents to do so). Our estimated range of possible loss related to non-GSE representations and warranties exposure as of June 30, 2012 included possible losses related to these whole loan sales and private-label securitizations sponsored by third-party whole-loan investors.
Private-label securitization investors generally do not have the contractual right to demand repurchase of loans directly or the right to access loan files. We have received repurchase demands totaling $3.1 billion from private-label securitization investors and a master servicer where in each case we believe the claimant has not satisfied the contractual thresholds to direct the securitization trustee to take action and/or that the demands are otherwise procedurally or substantively invalid. For additional information, see Unresolved Claim Status on page 58.

Servicing Matters and Foreclosure Processes |
We service a large portion of the loans we or our subsidiaries have securitized and also service loans on behalf of third-party securitization vehicles and other investors. Servicing agreements with the GSEs generally provide the GSEs with broader rights relative to the servicer than are found in servicing agreements with private investors. For example, each GSE typically claims the right to demand that the servicer repurchase loans that breach the seller's representations and warranties made in connection with the initial sale of the loans even if the servicer was not the seller. The GSEs also claim that they have the contractual right to demand indemnification or loan repurchase for certain servicing breaches. In addition, the GSEs' first mortgage seller/servicer guides provide for timelines to resolve delinquent loans through workout efforts or liquidation, if necessary, and purport to require the imposition of compensatory fees if those deadlines are not satisfied except for reasons beyond the control of the servicer, although we believe that the governing contracts and legal principles should inform resolution of these matters. Under our servicing agreements for loans serviced on behalf of third parties, we are also required to provide certain advances for foreclosure costs which are not reimbursable. Foreclosure delays resulting in high delinquencies have resulted and are likely to continue to result in elevated advances and reserves. In addition, we service VA loans that are partially guaranteed. In the event that a loss on a VA loan exceeds the guarantee, we may be responsible for the loss in excess of the guarantee.
Many non-agency RMBS and whole-loan servicing agreements require the servicer to indemnify the trustee or other investor for or against failures by the servicer to perform its servicing obligations or acts or omissions that involve willful malfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of, or reckless disregard of, the servicer’s duties.
It is not possible to reasonably estimate our liability with respect to certain potential servicing-related claims. While we have recorded certain accruals for servicing-related claims, the amount of potential liability in excess of existing accruals could be material. For additional information, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations – Servicing Matters and Foreclosure Processes on page 40 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We continue to be subject to additional borrower and non-borrower litigation and governmental and regulatory scrutiny related to our past and current servicing and foreclosure activities, including those claims not covered by the global settlement agreement reached on March 12, 2012 between the Corporation, 49 state Attorneys General and certain federal agencies. This scrutiny may extend beyond our pending foreclosure matters to issues arising out of alleged irregularities with respect to previously completed foreclosure activities. The current environment of heightened regulatory scrutiny may subject us to inquiries or investigations that could significantly adversely affect our reputation and result in material costs to us.
Servicing Resolution Agreements
The global settlement agreement among the Corporation and certain of its affiliates and subsidiaries, together with the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other federal agencies and 49 state Attorneys General concerning the terms of a settlement resolving investigations into certain residential mortgage origination, servicing and foreclosure practices (Global Settlement Agreement), was entered by the court as a consent judgment (Consent Judgment) on April 5, 2012. The Global Settlement Agreement provides for the establishment of certain uniform servicing standards, upfront cash payments of approximately $1.9 billion to the state and federal governments and for borrower restitution, approximately $7.6 billion in borrower assistance in the form of, among other things, credits earned for principal reduction, short sales, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, and approximately $1.0 billion of credits earned for interest rate reduction modifications. In addition, the settlement with the FHA provides for an upfront cash payment of $500
million to settle certain claims related to FHA-insured loans. We will also be obligated to provide additional cash payments of up to $850 million if we fail to earn an additional $850 million of credits stemming from incremental first-lien principal reductions over a three-year period. The liability for upfront payments totaling approximately $2.4 billion was included in our litigation reserves at March 31, 2012 and these payments were made in April 2012.
The borrower assistance program is not expected to result in any incremental credit provision, as we believe that the existing allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb any costs that have not already been recorded as charge-offs. The interest rate modification program will consist of interest rate reductions on first-lien loans originated prior to January 1, 2009 that have a current loan-to-value (LTV) ratio greater than 100 percent and that meet certain eligibility criteria, including the requirement that all payments due for the last twelve months have been made in a timely manner. This program commits us to forego future interest payments that we may not otherwise have agreed to forego, and no loss has been recognized in the financial statements related to such forgone interest. Due to the time required to underwrite the modified loans, a significant number of modifications have not yet been completed. The interest rate modification program is expected to include approximately 20,000 to 25,000 loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $5.4 billion to $6.8 billion. Assuming an average interest rate reduction of approximately two percent, the modifications are expected to result in a reduction of annual interest income of approximately $100 million to $130 million when the program is complete. Assuming a weighted-average loan life of approximately eight years, the fair value of loans in the program is expected to decrease by approximately $700 million to $900 million as a result of the interest rate reductions. The financial impact will vary depending on final terms of modifications offered and the rate of borrower acceptance. We do not expect loans modified under the program to be accounted for as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). If the program is expanded to include loans that do not meet specified underwriting criteria, such as maximum debt-to-income ratios or minimum FICO scores, the modifications of such loans will be accounted for as TDRs.
We could be required to make additional payments if we fail to meet our borrower assistance and rate reduction modification commitments over a three-year period, in an amount equal to 125 percent to 140 percent of the shortfall, dependent on the two- and three-year commitment target. We also entered into agreements with several states under which we committed to perform certain minimum levels of principal reduction and related activities within those states as part of the Global Settlement Agreement, and under which we could be required to make additional payments if we fail to meet such minimum levels.
We believe that it is likely that we will meet all borrower assistance, rate reduction modification and principal reduction commitments required under the Global Settlement Agreement and, therefore, do not expect to be required to make additional cash payments. Although it is reasonably possible that the cost of fulfilling the commitments could increase, leading to an incremental credit provision, the amount of any such incremental provision is not reasonably estimable. Although we may incur additional operating costs such as servicing costs to implement parts of the Global Settlement Agreement in future periods, we do not expect that those costs will be material.
Under the terms of the Global Settlement Agreement, the federal and participating state governments agreed to release us from further liability for certain alleged residential mortgage origination, servicing and foreclosure deficiencies. In settling origination issues related to FHA-guaranteed loans originated on or before April 30, 2009, the FHA provides us and our affiliates with a release from further liability for all origination claims with respect to such loans if an insurance claim had been submitted to the FHA prior to January 1, 2012 and a release of multiple damages and penalties, but not single damages, if no such claim had been submitted.
The Global Settlement Agreement does not cover certain claims arising out of securitization (including representations made to investors with respect to MBS), criminal claims, private claims by borrowers, claims by certain states for injunctive relief or actual economic damages to borrowers related to the Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS), and claims by the GSEs (including repurchase demands), among other items. For additional information on MERS, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations – Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. on page 42 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Impact of Foreclosure Delays
In the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded $399 million of mortgage-related assessments, waivers and similar costs related to delayed foreclosures. We continue to disagree with the GSEs' attempt to make retroactive changes to the criteria for calculating and assessing compensatory fees for foreclosure delays. The GSEs have claimed compensatory fees significantly in excess of the amounts that we believe can be claimed under the governing contracts and legal principles. We expect higher costs will continue related to resources necessary to implement new servicing standards mandated for the industry, to implement other operational changes and delayed foreclosures. This will likely result in continued higher noninterest expense, including higher default servicing costs and legal expenses in CRES. It is also possible that the delays in foreclosure sales may result in additional costs and expenses, including costs associated with the maintenance of properties or possible home price declines while foreclosures are delayed. In addition, required process changes, including those required under the consent orders with federal bank regulators and the Consent Judgment with the federal agencies, are likely to result in further increases in our default servicing costs over the longer term. Finally, the time to complete foreclosure sales may continue to be protracted, which may result in a greater number of nonperforming loans and increased servicing advances and may impact the collectability of such advances and the value of our MSR asset, MBS and real estate owned properties. Accordingly, delays in
foreclosure sales, including any delays beyond those currently anticipated, our continued process enhancements, including those required under the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Federal Reserve consent orders and the Consent Judgment, and any issues that may arise out of alleged irregularities in our foreclosure process could significantly increase the costs associated with our mortgage operations.
Mortgage-related Settlements – Servicing Matters
In connection with the BNY Mellon Settlement, BANA has agreed to implement certain servicing changes. The Trustee and BANA have agreed to clarify and conform certain servicing standards related to loss mitigation. In particular, the BNY Mellon Settlement clarifies that it is permissible to apply the same loss mitigation strategies to the Covered Trusts as are applied to BANA affiliates' held-for-investment (HFI) portfolios. This portion of the agreement was effective in the second quarter of 2011 and is not conditioned on final court approval. In connection with the Global Settlement Agreement, BANA has agreed to implement certain additional servicing changes. The uniform servicing standards established under the Global Settlement Agreement are broadly consistent with the residential mortgage servicing practices imposed by the OCC consent order; however, they are more prescriptive and cover a broader range of our residential mortgage servicing activities. Implementation of these uniform servicing standards is expected to incrementally increase costs associated with the servicing process, but is not expected to result in material delays or dislocation in the performance of our mortgage servicing obligations, including the completion of foreclosures. For additional information, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations – Mortgage-related Settlements – Servicing Matters on page 42 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Financial Reform Act) requires that all bank holding companies (BHCs) with assets greater than $50 billion submit a resolution plan to the Federal Reserve and the FDIC and file an updated plan annually. The resolution plan is a detailed roadmap for the orderly liquidation of the BHC and material entities under a hypothetical scenario. We submitted our resolution plan to the Federal Reserve and FDIC on June 29, 2012.

We take a comprehensive approach to risk management. We have a defined risk framework and clearly articulated risk appetite which is approved annually by the Corporation's Board of Directors (the Board). Risk management planning is integrated with strategic, financial and customer/client planning so that goals and responsibilities are aligned across the organization. Risk is managed in a systematic manner by focusing on the Corporation as a whole as well as managing risk across the enterprise and within individual business units, products, services and transactions, and across all geographic locations. We maintain a governance structure that delineates the responsibilities for risk management activities, as well as governance and oversight of those activities. For a more detailed discussion of our risk management activities, see pages 45 through 97 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Strategic Risk Management |
Strategic risk is embedded in every business and is one of the major risk categories along with credit, market, liquidity, compliance, operational and reputational risks. It is the risk that results from adverse business decisions, ineffective or inappropriate business plans, or failure to respond to changes in the competitive environment, business cycles, customer preferences, product obsolescence, regulatory environment, business strategy execution and/or other inherent risks of the business including reputational and operational risk. In the financial services industry, strategic risk is elevated due to changing customer, competitive and regulatory environments. Our appetite for strategic risk is assessed within the context of the strategic plan, with strategic risks selectively and carefully considered in the context of the evolving marketplace. Strategic risk is managed in the context of our overall financial condition and assessed, managed and acted on by the Chief Executive Officer and executive management team. Significant strategic actions, such as material acquisitions or capital actions, require review and approval of the Board.
For more information on our Strategic Risk Management activities, see page 48 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Bank of America manages its capital position to ensure capital is sufficient to support our business activities and that capital, risk and risk appetite are commensurate with one another, ensure safety and soundness under adverse scenarios, take advantage of growth and strategic opportunities, maintain ready access to financial markets, remain a source of strength for its subsidiaries, and satisfy current and future regulatory capital requirements.
To determine the appropriate level of capital, we assess the results of our Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), the current economic and market environment, and feedback from investors, rating agencies and regulators. Based upon this analysis, we set capital guidelines for Tier 1 common capital and Tier 1 capital to ensure we can maintain an adequate capital position, including in a severe adverse economic scenario. We also target to maintain capital in excess of the capital required per our economic capital measurement process. For additional information, see Economic Capital on page 73. Management and the Board annually approve a comprehensive capital plan which documents the ICAAP and related results, analysis and support for the capital guidelines, and planned capital actions.
Capital management is integrated into the risk and governance processes, as capital is a key consideration in the development of the strategic plan, risk appetite and risk limits. Economic capital is allocated to each business unit and used to perform risk-adjusted return analysis at the business unit, client relationship and transaction levels.
As a financial services holding company, we are subject to the risk-based capital guidelines (Basel 1) issued by federal banking regulators. At June 30, 2012, we operated banking activities primarily under two charters: BANA and FIA Card Services, N.A. (FIA). Under these guidelines, the Corporation and its affiliated banking entities measure capital adequacy based on Tier 1 common capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital (Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital). Capital ratios are calculated by dividing each capital amount by risk-weighted assets. Additionally, Tier 1 capital is divided by adjusted quarterly average total assets to derive the Tier 1 leverage ratio.
The Corporation has issued notes to certain unconsolidated corporate-sponsored trust companies which issued qualifying trust preferred securities (Trust Securities) and hybrid securities. In accordance with Federal Reserve guidance, Trust Securities continue to qualify as Tier 1 capital with revised quantitative limits. As a result, at June 30, 2012, the Corporation included qualifying Trust Securities in the aggregate amount of $14.4 billion (approximately 121 bps of Tier 1 capital) in Tier 1 capital. Under a notice of proposed rulemaking on Basel 3 issued by U.S. banking regulatory agencies (Basel 3 NPR), outstanding Trust Securities will be excluded from Tier 1 capital, with the exclusion to be phased in incrementally over a four-year period, beginning January 1, 2013. The treatment of Trust Securities during the phase-in period is subject to future rulemaking. For additional information on trust preferred exchanges, see Recent Events – Capital and Liquidity Related Matters on page 6.
For additional information on these and other regulatory requirements, see Capital Management – Regulatory Capital on page 49 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 18 – Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On January 6, 2012, we submitted a capital plan to the Federal Reserve consistent with the rules governing Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) and received results on March 13, 2012. The CCAR is the central element to the Federal Reserve's approach to ensuring large BHC have thorough and robust processes for managing their capital. The submitted capital plan included the ICAAP and related results, analysis and support for the capital guidelines and planned capital actions. The Federal Reserve's stress scenario projections for the Corporation estimated a minimum Tier 1 common capital ratio of 5.9 percent under severe adverse economic conditions with all proposed capital actions through the end of 2013, exceeding the five percent reference rate for all institutions involved in the CCAR. The capital plan submitted by the Corporation to the Federal Reserve did not include a request to return capital to stockholders in 2012 above the current dividend rate. The Federal Reserve did not object to our capital plan.
Capital Composition and Ratios
Tier 1 common capital was $134.1 billion at June 30, 2012, an increase of $7.4 billion from December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily driven by earnings eligible to be included in capital, which positively impacted the Tier 1 common capital ratio by approximately 25 bps, including the impact of repurchases of senior and subordinated debt and trust preferred securities. The Tier 1 common capital ratio also benefited seven bps from the issuance of common stock in lieu of cash for a portion of employee incentive compensation. Total capital decreased $6.2 billion at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 primarily due to a reduction in subordinated debt from repurchases, partially offset by earnings.
Risk-weighted assets decreased $91.0 billion to $1,193 billion at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily driven by lower loan levels and a decline in off-balance sheet assets, which in the aggregate increased the Tier 1 common, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios 65 bps, 81 bps and 106 bps, respectively. The Tier 1 leverage ratio increased 31 bps at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 primarily driven by the increase in Tier 1 capital.

Regulatory Capital Changes
We manage regulatory capital to adhere to internal capital guidelines and regulatory standards of capital adequacy based on our current understanding of the rules and the application of such rules to our business as currently conducted. The regulatory capital rules continue to evolve.
We currently measure and report our capital ratios and related information in accordance with Basel 1. See Capital Management on page 68 for additional information. In December 2007, U.S. banking regulators published final Basel 2 rules (Basel 2). We measure and report our capital ratios and related information under Basel 2 on a confidential basis to U.S. banking regulators during the required parallel period. In June 2012, U.S. banking regulators issued final rules that amend the Basel 1 Market Risk rules (Market Risk Amendment) effective January 1, 2013. U.S. banking regulators also issued the Basel 3 NPR in June 2012 to implement the Basel 3 regulatory capital reforms from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (Basel Committee) and changes required by the Financial Reform Act. The Basel 3 NPR also requires approval by the U.S. regulatory agencies of analytical models used as part of capital measurement. If these models are not approved, it would likely lead to an increase in our risk-weighted assets, which in some cases could be significant.
Portions of the Basel 3 NPR are proposed to be effective on specific dates from January 1, 2013 through January 1, 2018, based on specific transition provisions in the rules. The Market Risk Amendment and Basel 3 NPR are expected to substantially increase our capital requirements. We continue to evaluate the capital impact of these rules and currently anticipate that we will be in compliance with the rules by the current effective adoption date on January 1, 2013.
Under the Basel 3 NPR, Trust Securities will not be included in Tier 1 capital on a transition basis from a 25 percent exclusion starting on January 1, 2013, to full exclusion on January 1, 2016 and thereafter. The Basel 3 NPR also proposes material changes to the deduction of certain assets from capital, new minimum capital ratios and buffer requirements, a Standardized Approach in lieu of Basel 1 that provides a floor to the calculation of risk-weighted assets and significant changes to the calculation of credit and counterparty credit risk. Many of the changes to capital deductions are subject to a transition period where the impact is recognized in 20 percent increments beginning on January 1, 2014 through January 1, 2018. The majority of the other aspects of the Basel 3 NPR are proposed to become effective on January 1, 2013. The phase-in period for the new minimum capital requirements and related buffers is proposed to occur between 2013 and 2019.
Based on Basel 2, our interpretation of the Market Risk Amendment and the international Basel 3 rules issued by the Basel Committee, we estimated our Basel 3 Tier 1 common capital ratio, on a fully-phased in basis, to be 8.10 percent at June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, we estimated that our Tier 1 common capital would be $127 billion and total risk-weighted assets would be $1,566 billion, also on a fully phased-in basis. This assumes the approval by U.S. banking regulators of our internal analytical models. Additionally, if we had utilized the Basel 3 NPR recently issued by U.S. regulatory agencies and the final Market Risk Amendment, the estimated Basel 3 Tier 1 common capital ratio of 8.10 percent would be approximately 15 bps lower. Important differences between Basel 1 and Basel 3 include capital deductions related to our MSRs, deferred tax assets and defined benefit pension assets, and the inclusion of unrealized gains and losses on debt and equity securities recognized in accumulated OCI, each of which will be impacted by future changes in both interest rates as well as overall earnings performance. Our estimates under the Basel 3 NPR will be refined over time as our businesses change, as we continue to refine our models, as our and the industry's understanding and interpretation of the rules evolve and as a result of further rulemaking or clarification by U.S. regulating agencies. Preparing for the implementation of the new capital rules is a top strategic priority, and we expect to comply with the final rules when issued and effective. We intend to continue to build capital through retaining earnings, actively managing our portfolios and implementing other capital related initiatives, including focusing on reducing both higher risk-weighted assets and assets proposed to be deducted from capital under the Basel 3 NPR.
Additionally, capital requirements for global, systemically important financial institutions including the methodology for measuring systemic importance, the additional capital required (the SIFI buffer), and the arrangements by which they will be phased in were proposed by the Basel Committee in 2011. As proposed, the SIFI buffer would increase minimum capital requirements for Tier 1 common capital from one percent to 2.5 percent, and in certain circumstances, 3.5 percent. This is proposed to be phased in from 2016 through 2018. U.S. banking regulators have not yet provided similar rules for the U.S. implementation of a SIFI buffer.
On December 20, 2011, the Federal Reserve issued proposed rules to implement enhanced supervisory and prudential requirements and the early remediation requirements established under the Financial Reform Act. The enhanced standards include risk-based capital and leverage requirements, liquidity standards, requirements for overall risk management, single-counterparty credit limits, stress test requirements and a debt-to-equity limit for certain companies determined to pose a threat to financial stability. The final rules are likely to influence our regulatory capital and liquidity planning process, and may impose additional operational and compliance costs on us.

BANA's Tier 1 capital ratio increased 114 bps to 12.88 percent and the Total capital ratio increased 47 bps to 15.64 percent at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011. The increase in the ratios was driven by a decrease in risk-weighted assets of $86.5 billion compared to December 31, 2011 and earnings eligible to be included in capital of $3.7 billion and $6.9 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, partially offset by dividends paid to Bank of America Corporation of $2.3 billion and $6.7 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
FIA's Tier 1 capital ratio decreased 161 bps to 16.02 percent and the Total capital ratio decreased 162 bps to 17.39 percent at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011. The Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased 103 bps to 13.19 percent at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011. The decrease in the Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios was driven by returns of capital of $3.0 billion and $6.0 billion to Bank of America Corporation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, partially offset by earnings eligible to be included in capital of $953 million and $2.0 billion. The decrease in the Tier 1 leverage ratio was driven by the decrease in Tier 1 capital, partially offset by a decrease in adjusted quarterly average total assets of $15.9 billion.
Broker/Dealer Regulatory Capital
The Corporation’s principal U.S. broker/dealer subsidiaries are Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith (MLPF&S) and Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corp (MLPCC). MLPCC is a fully-guaranteed subsidiary of MLPF&S that provides clearing and settlement services. Both entities are subject to the net capital requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1. Both entities are also registered as futures commission merchants and are subject to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Regulation 1.17.
MLPF&S has elected to compute the minimum capital requirement in accordance with the Alternative Net Capital Requirement as permitted by SEC Rule 15c3-1. At June 30, 2012, MLPF&S’s regulatory net capital as defined by Rule 15c3-1 was $10.8 billion and exceeded the minimum requirement of $684 million by $10.1 billion. MLPCC’s net capital of $1.7 billion exceeded the minimum requirement of $219 million by $1.5 billion.
In accordance with the Alternative Net Capital Requirements, MLPF&S is required to maintain tentative net capital in excess of $1.0 billion, net capital in excess of $500 million and notify the SEC in the event its tentative net capital is less than $5.0 billion. At June 30, 2012, MLPF&S had tentative net capital and net capital in excess of the minimum and notification requirements.
Our economic capital measurement process provides a risk-based measurement of the capital required for unexpected credit, market and operational losses over a one-year time horizon at a 99.97 percent confidence level. Economic capital is allocated to each business unit, and is used for capital adequacy, performance measurement and risk management purposes. The strategic planning process utilizes economic capital with the goal of allocating risk appropriately and measuring returns consistently across all businesses and activities. Economic capital allocation plans are incorporated into the Corporation’s financial plan which is approved by the Board on an annual basis. For additional information regarding economic capital, credit risk capital, market risk capital and operational risk capital, see page 52 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Enterprise-wide Stress Testing |
As a part of our core risk management practices, we conduct enterprise-wide stress tests on a periodic basis to better understand balance sheet, earnings, capital and liquidity sensitivities to certain economic and business scenarios, including economic and market conditions that are more severe than anticipated. These enterprise-wide stress tests provide an understanding of the potential impacts from our risk profile on our balance sheet, earnings, capital and liquidity and serve as a key component of our capital, liquidity and risk management practices. Scenarios are selected by a group comprised of senior business, risk and finance executives. Impacts to each business from each scenario are then determined and analyzed, primarily by leveraging the models and processes utilized in everyday management routines. Impacts are assessed along with potential mitigating actions that may be taken. Analysis from such stress scenarios is compiled for and reviewed through our Chief Financial Officer Risk Committee (CFORC), Asset Liability and Market Risk Committee (ALMRC) and the Board’s Enterprise Risk Committee (ERC) and serves to inform decision making by management and the Board. We have made substantial investments to establish stress testing capabilities as a core business process.

Liquidity Risk |
|
Funding and Liquidity Risk Management |
We define liquidity risk as the potential inability to meet our contractual and contingent financial obligations, on- or off-balance sheet, as they come due. Our primary liquidity objective is to ensure adequate funding for our businesses throughout market cycles, including periods of financial stress. To achieve that objective, we analyze and monitor our liquidity risk, maintain excess liquidity and access diverse funding sources including our stable deposit base. We define excess liquidity as readily available assets, limited to cash and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities that we can use to meet our funding requirements as those obligations arise.
Global funding and liquidity risk management activities are centralized within Corporate Treasury. We believe that a centralized approach to funding and liquidity risk management enhances our ability to monitor liquidity requirements, maximizes access to funding sources, minimizes borrowing costs and facilitates timely responses to liquidity events. For additional information regarding global funding and liquidity risk management, see Funding and Liquidity Risk Management on page 53 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Global Excess Liquidity Sources and Other Unencumbered Assets
We maintain excess liquidity available to Bank of America Corporation, or the parent company, and selected subsidiaries in the form of cash and high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities. These assets, which we call our Global Excess Liquidity Sources, serve as our primary means of liquidity risk mitigation. Our cash is primarily on deposit with central banks, such as the Federal Reserve. We limit the composition of high-quality, liquid, unencumbered securities to U.S. government securities, U.S. agency securities, U.S. agency MBS and a select group of non-U.S. government and supranational securities. We believe we can quickly obtain cash for these securities, even in stressed market conditions, through repurchase agreements or outright sales. We hold our Global Excess Liquidity Sources in entities that allow us to meet the liquidity requirements of our global businesses, and we consider the impact of potential regulatory, tax, legal and other restrictions that could limit the transferability of funds among entities.
Our Global Excess Liquidity Sources were $378 billion at both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and were maintained as presented in Table 22.

As shown in Table 22, parent company Global Excess Liquidity Sources totaled $111 billion and $125 billion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The decrease in parent company liquidity was primarily due to long-term debt maturities. Typically, parent company cash is deposited overnight with BANA.
Global Excess Liquidity Sources available to our bank subsidiaries totaled $240 billion and $222 billion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The increase in liquidity available to our bank subsidiaries was primarily due to a reduction in loan balances. These amounts are distinct from the cash deposited by the parent company presented in Table 22. In addition to their Global Excess Liquidity Sources, our bank subsidiaries hold other unencumbered investment-grade securities that we believe could also be used to generate liquidity. Our bank subsidiaries can also generate incremental liquidity by pledging a range of other unencumbered loans and securities to certain Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) and the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The cash we could have obtained by borrowing against this pool of specifically-identified eligible assets was approximately $198 billion and $189 billion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. We have established operational procedures to enable us to borrow against these assets, including regularly monitoring our total pool of eligible loans and securities collateral. Due to regulatory restrictions, liquidity generated by the bank subsidiaries can only be used to fund obligations within the bank subsidiaries and can only be transferred to the parent company or nonbank subsidiaries with prior regulatory approval.
Global Excess Liquidity Sources available to our broker/dealer subsidiaries totaled $27 billion and $31 billion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Our broker/dealers also held other unencumbered investment-grade securities and equities that we believe could also be used to generate additional liquidity. Liquidity held in a broker/dealer subsidiary is available to meet the obligations of that entity and can only be transferred to the parent company or to any other subsidiary with prior regulatory approval due to regulatory restrictions and minimum requirements.

Time to Required Funding and Stress Modeling
We use a variety of metrics to determine the appropriate amounts of excess liquidity to maintain at the parent company and our bank and broker/dealer subsidiaries. One metric we use to evaluate the appropriate level of excess liquidity at the parent company is “Time to Required Funding.” This debt coverage measure indicates the number of months that the parent company can continue to meet its unsecured contractual obligations as they come due using only its Global Excess Liquidity Sources without issuing any new debt or accessing any additional liquidity sources. We define unsecured contractual obligations for purposes of this metric as maturities of senior or subordinated debt issued or guaranteed by Bank of America Corporation or Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (Merrill Lynch). These include certain unsecured debt instruments, primarily structured liabilities, which we may be required to settle for cash prior to maturity. The Corporation has established a target minimum for Time to Required Funding of 21 months. Our Time to Required Funding was 37 months at June 30, 2012. For purposes of calculating Time to Required Funding at June 30, 2012, we have also included in the amount of unsecured contractual obligations the $8.6 billion liability related to the BNY Mellon Settlement and the previously announced subordinated debt and trust preferred securities calls that settled in the third quarter of 2012. The BNY Mellon Settlement is subject to final court approval and certain other conditions, and the timing of payment is not certain.
We utilize liquidity stress models to assist us in determining the appropriate amounts of excess liquidity to maintain at the parent company and our bank and broker/dealer subsidiaries. These models are risk sensitive and have become increasingly important in analyzing our potential contractual and contingent cash outflows beyond those outflows considered in the Time to Required Funding analysis. We evaluate the liquidity requirements under a range of scenarios with varying levels of severity and time horizons. The scenarios we consider and utilize incorporate market-wide and Corporation-specific events, including potential credit ratings downgrades for the parent company and our subsidiaries, and are based on historical experience, regulatory guidance, and both expected and unexpected future events.
The types of potential contractual and contingent cash outflows we consider in our scenarios may include, but are not limited to, upcoming contractual maturities of unsecured debt and reductions in new debt issuance; diminished access to secured financing markets; potential deposit withdrawals and reduced rollover of maturing term deposits by customers; increased draws on loan commitments, liquidity facilities and letters of credit, including Variable Rate Demand Notes; additional collateral that counterparties could call if our credit ratings were further downgraded; collateral, margin and subsidiary capital requirements arising from losses; and potential liquidity required to maintain businesses and finance customer activities. Changes in certain market factors, including but not limited to credit rating downgrades, could negatively impact potential contractual and contingent outflows and the related financial instruments, and in some cases these impacts could be material to our financial results.
For additional information on Time to Required Funding and liquidity stress modeling, see page 54 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Basel 3 Liquidity Standards
In December 2010, the Basel Committee proposed two measures of liquidity risk which are considered part of Basel 3. The first proposed liquidity measure is the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), which is calculated as the amount of a financial institution’s unencumbered, high-quality, liquid assets relative to the net cash outflows the institution could encounter under an acute 30-day stress scenario. The second proposed liquidity measure is the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), which measures the amount of longer-term, stable sources of funding employed by a financial institution relative to the liquidity profiles of the assets funded and the potential for contingent calls on funding liquidity arising from off-balance sheet commitments and obligations over a one-year period. The Basel Committee expects the LCR requirement to be implemented in January 2015 and the NSFR requirement to be implemented in January 2018, following an observation period that began in 2011. We continue to monitor the development and the potential impact of these proposals, and assuming adoption by U.S. banking regulators, we expect to meet the final standards within the regulatory timelines.
Diversified Funding Sources
We fund our assets primarily with a mix of deposits and secured and unsecured liabilities through a globally coordinated funding strategy. We diversify our funding globally across products, programs, markets, currencies and investor groups.
We fund a substantial portion of our lending activities through our deposits, which were $1.04 trillion and $1.03 trillion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Deposits are primarily generated by our CBB, GWIM and Global Banking segments. These deposits are diversified by clients, product type and geography, and the majority of our U.S. deposits are insured by the FDIC. We consider a substantial portion of our deposits to be a stable, low-cost and consistent source of funding. We believe this deposit funding is generally less sensitive to interest rate changes, market volatility or changes in our credit ratings than wholesale funding sources. Our lending activities may also be financed through secured borrowings, including securitizations with GSEs, the FHA and private-label investors, as well as FHLB loans.
Our trading activities in broker/dealer subsidiaries are primarily funded on a secured basis through securities lending and repurchase agreements and these amounts will vary based on customer activity and market conditions. We believe funding these activities in the secured financing markets is more cost efficient and less sensitive to changes in our credit ratings than unsecured financing. Repurchase agreements are generally short-term and often overnight. Disruptions in secured financing markets for financial institutions have occurred in prior market cycles which resulted in adverse changes in terms or significant reductions in the availability of such financing. We manage the liquidity risks arising from secured funding by sourcing funding globally from a diverse group of counterparties, providing a range of securities collateral and pursuing longer durations, when appropriate.
We reduced unsecured short-term borrowings at the parent company and broker/dealer subsidiaries, including commercial paper and master notes, to relatively insignificant amounts during the third quarter of 2011. For average and period-end balance discussions, see Balance Sheet Overview on page 13. For more information, see Note 12 – Federal Funds Sold, Securities Borrowed or Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Short-term Borrowings to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We issue the majority of our long-term unsecured debt at the parent company. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the parent company issued $2.6 billion and $10.9 billion of long-term unsecured debt, including structured liabilities of $2.6 billion and $5.0 billion. We may also issue long-term unsecured debt at BANA, although there were no new issuances during the six months ended June 30, 2012. We issue long-term unsecured debt in a variety of maturities and currencies to achieve cost-efficient funding and to maintain an appropriate maturity profile. While the cost and availability of unsecured funding may be negatively impacted by general market conditions or by matters specific to the financial services industry or the Corporation, we seek to mitigate refinancing risk by actively managing the amount of our borrowings that we anticipate will mature within any month or quarter.
The primary benefits of our centralized funding strategy include greater control, reduced funding costs, wider name recognition by investors and greater flexibility to meet the variable funding requirements of subsidiaries. Where regulations, time zone differences or other business considerations make parent company funding impractical, certain other subsidiaries may issue their own debt.
We use derivative transactions to manage the duration, interest rate and currency risks of our borrowings, considering the characteristics of the assets they are funding. For further details on our ALM activities, see Interest Rate Risk Management for Nontrading Activities on page 126.
We also diversify our unsecured funding sources by issuing various types of debt instruments including structured liabilities, which are debt obligations that pay investors returns linked to other debt or equity securities, indices, currencies or commodities. We typically hedge the returns we are obligated to pay on these liabilities with derivative positions and/or investments in the underlying instruments, so that from a funding perspective, the cost is similar to our other unsecured long-term debt. We could be required to settle certain structured liability obligations for cash or other securities prior to maturity under certain circumstances, which we consider for liquidity planning purposes. We believe, however, that a portion of such borrowings will remain outstanding beyond the earliest put or redemption date. We had outstanding structured liabilities with a carrying value of $52.5 billion and $50.9 billion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Substantially all of our senior and subordinated debt obligations contain no provisions that could trigger a requirement for an early repayment, require additional collateral support, result in changes to terms, accelerate maturity or create additional financial obligations upon an adverse change in our credit ratings, financial ratios, earnings, cash flows or stock price.
Prior to 2010, we participated in the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, which allowed us to issue senior unsecured debt guaranteed by the FDIC in return for a fee based on the amount and maturity of the debt. At June 30, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under the program.
Table 25 represents the carrying value of aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt at June 30, 2012.

Total long-term debt decreased $70.4 billion or 19 percent at June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011, primarily driven by maturities and liability management. This reflects our ongoing initiative to reduce our debt balances over time and we anticipate that debt levels will continue to decline, from both maturities and liability management, as appropriate through 2013. We may, from time to time, purchase outstanding debt securities in various transactions, depending on prevailing market conditions, liquidity and other factors. In addition, our broker/dealer subsidiaries may make markets in our debt instruments to provide liquidity for investors. For additional information regarding debt repurchases, see Recent Events – Capital and Liquidity Related Matters on page 6. For additional information on long-term debt funding, see Note 13 – Long-term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and for additional information regarding funding and liquidity risk management, see pages 53 through 57 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Contingency Planning
We maintain contingency funding plans that outline our potential responses to liquidity stress events at various levels of severity. These policies and plans are based on stress scenarios and include potential funding strategies and communication and notification procedures that we would implement in the event we experienced stressed liquidity conditions. We periodically review and test the contingency funding plans to validate efficacy and assess readiness.
Our U.S. bank subsidiaries can access contingency funding through the Federal Reserve Discount Window. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries have access to central bank facilities in the jurisdictions in which they operate. While we do not rely on these sources in our liquidity modeling, we maintain the policies, procedures and governance processes that would enable us to access these sources if necessary.
Credit Ratings
Our borrowing costs and ability to raise funds are impacted by our credit ratings. In addition, credit ratings may be important to customers or counterparties when we compete in certain markets and when we seek to engage in certain transactions, including over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. Thus, it is our objective to maintain high-quality credit ratings.
Credit ratings and outlooks are opinions on our creditworthiness and that of our obligations or securities, including long-term debt, short-term borrowings, preferred stock and other securities, including asset securitizations. Our credit ratings are subject to ongoing review by the rating agencies which consider a number of factors, including our own financial strength, performance, prospects and operations as well as factors not under our control. The rating agencies could make adjustments to our ratings at any time and they provide no assurances that they will maintain our ratings at current levels.
Other factors that influence our credit ratings include changes to the rating agencies’ methodologies for our industry or certain security types, the rating agencies’ assessment of the general operating environment for financial services companies, our mortgage exposures, our relative positions in the markets in which we compete, reputation, liquidity position, diversity of funding sources, funding costs, the level and volatility of earnings, corporate governance and risk management policies, capital position, capital management practices, and current or future regulatory and legislative initiatives.
Each of the three major rating agencies, Moody's, S&P and Fitch, downgraded the ratings for the Corporation and its rated subsidiaries in late 2011. On June 21, 2012, Moody's completed its previously-announced review for possible downgrade of financial institutions with global capital markets operations, downgrading the ratings of 15 banks and securities firms, including our ratings. The Corporation's long-term debt rating and BANA's long-term and short-term debt ratings were downgraded one notch as part of this action. The Moody's downgrade did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity during the second quarter of 2012.
Currently, the Corporation’s long-term/short-term senior debt ratings and outlooks expressed by the rating agencies are as follows: Baa2/P-2 (negative) by Moody’s; A-/A-2 (negative) by S&P; and A/F1 (stable) by Fitch. BANA’s long-term/short-term senior debt ratings and outlooks currently are as follows: A3/P-2 (stable) by Moody’s; A/A-1 (negative) by S&P; and A/F1 (stable) by Fitch. The credit ratings of Merrill Lynch from the three major credit rating agencies are the same as those of Bank of America Corporation. The major credit rating agencies have indicated that the primary drivers of Merrill Lynch’s credit ratings are Bank of America Corporation’s credit ratings. MLPF&S’s long-term/short-term senior debt ratings and outlooks are A/A-1 (negative) by S&P and A/F1 (stable) by Fitch. Merrill Lynch International’s long-term/short-term senior debt ratings are A/A-1 (negative) by S&P.
The major rating agencies have each indicated that, as a systemically important financial institution, our credit ratings currently reflect their expectation that, if necessary, we would receive significant support from the U.S. government, and that they will continue to assess such support in the context of sovereign financial strength and regulatory and legislative developments. For additional information, see Liquidity Risk – Credit Ratings on page 56 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
A further reduction in certain of our credit ratings or the ratings of certain asset-backed securitizations may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, potential loss of access to credit markets, the related cost of funds, our businesses and on certain trading revenues, particularly in those businesses where counterparty creditworthiness is critical. In addition, under the terms of certain OTC derivative contracts and other trading agreements, in the event of further downgrades of our or our rated subsidiaries' credit ratings, the counterparties to those agreements may require us to provide additional collateral, or to terminate these contracts or agreements, which could cause us to sustain losses and/or adversely impact our liquidity. If the short-term credit ratings of our parent company, bank or broker/dealer subsidiaries were downgraded by one or more levels, the potential loss of access to short-term funding sources such as repo financing, and the effect on our incremental cost of funds could be material.
At June 30, 2012, if the rating agencies had downgraded their long-term senior debt ratings for the Corporation or certain subsidiaries by one incremental notch, the amount of additional collateral contractually required by derivative contracts and other trading agreements would have been approximately $2.3 billion comprised of $1.3 billion for BANA and $939 million for Merrill Lynch and certain of its subsidiaries. If the agencies had downgraded their long-term senior debt ratings for these entities by a second incremental notch, an incremental $4.2 billion in additional collateral comprised of $338 million for BANA and $3.8 billion for Merrill Lynch and certain of its subsidiaries, would have been required.
Also, if the rating agencies had downgraded their long-term senior debt ratings for the Corporation or certain subsidiaries by one incremental notch, the derivative liability that would be subject to unilateral termination by counterparties as of June 30, 2012 was $6.1 billion, against which $5.3 billion of collateral had been posted. If the rating agencies had downgraded their long-term senior debt ratings for the Corporation or certain subsidiaries a second incremental notch, the derivative liability that would be subject to unilateral termination by counterparties as of June 30, 2012 was an incremental $1.9 billion, against which $1.4 billion of collateral had been posted.
While certain potential impacts are contractual and quantifiable, the full scope of consequences of a credit ratings downgrade to a financial institution is inherently uncertain, as it depends upon numerous dynamic, complex and inter-related factors and assumptions, including whether any downgrade of a firm’s long-term credit ratings precipitates downgrades to its short-term credit ratings, and assumptions about the potential behaviors of various customers, investors and counterparties. For additional information on potential impacts of credit ratings downgrades, see Time to Required Funding and Stress Modeling on page 76.
For information regarding the additional collateral and termination payments that could be required in connection with certain OTC derivative contracts and other trading agreements as a result of such a credit ratings downgrade, see Note 3 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On June 8, 2012, S&P affirmed its 'AA+' long-term and 'A-1+' short-term sovereign credit rating on the U.S. The outlook remains negative. On July 10, 2012, Fitch affirmed its 'AAA' long-term and 'F1+' short-term sovereign credit rating on the U.S. The outlook remains negative. All three rating agencies have indicated that they will continue to assess fiscal projections and consolidation measures, as well as the medium-term economic outlook for the U.S. For additional information, see Liquidity Risk – Credit Ratings on page 56 of the MD&A of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Credit quality continued to show improvement during the second quarter of 2012. Our proactive credit risk management initiatives positively impacted the credit portfolio as charge-offs and delinquencies continued to improve across most portfolios and risk ratings improved in the commercial portfolios. However, global and national economic uncertainty, home price declines and regulatory reform continued to weigh on the credit portfolios through June 30, 2012. For more information, see Executive Summary – Second Quarter 2012 Economic and Business Environment on page 6.
We proactively refine our underwriting and credit management practices as well as credit standards to meet the changing economic environment. To actively mitigate losses and enhance customer support in our consumer businesses, we have in place collection programs and loan modification and customer assistance infrastructures. We utilize a number of actions to mitigate losses in the commercial businesses including increasing the frequency and intensity of portfolio monitoring, hedging activity and our practice of transferring management of deteriorating commercial exposures to independent special asset officers as credits enter criticized categories.
Since January 2008, and through the second quarter of 2012, Bank of America and Countrywide have completed approximately 1.1 million loan modifications with customers. During the second quarter of 2012, we completed more than 20,000 customer loan modifications with a total unpaid principal balance of approximately $5 billion, including approximately 6,500 permanent modifications under the government’s Making Home Affordable Program. Of the loan modifications completed in the three months ended June 30, 2012, in terms of both the volume of modifications and the unpaid principal balance associated with the underlying loans, most were in the portfolio serviced for investors and were not on our balance sheet. The most common types of modifications include a combination of rate reduction and capitalization of past due amounts which represented 57 percent of the volume of modifications completed during the three months ended June 30, 2012, while principal forbearance represented 19 percent, capitalization of past due amounts represented eight percent and principal reductions and forgiveness represented five percent. For modified loans on our balance sheet, these modification types are generally considered TDRs. For more information on TDRs and portfolio impacts, see Nonperforming Consumer Loans and Foreclosed Properties Activity on page 99 and Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain European countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain, have experienced varying degrees of financial stress. Risks from the ongoing debt crisis in these countries could continue to disrupt the financial markets which could have a detrimental impact on global economic conditions and sovereign and non-sovereign debt in these countries. Market sentiment continued to evolve during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 driven most recently by concerns over Greece's ability to meet conditions precedent to continued funding under various support programs, and the viability of Spain's banking sector and its impact on the solvency of the Spanish government. The lack of a clear resolution to the crisis and fears of contagion continue to contribute to market uncertainty. For additional information on our exposures and related risks in non-U.S. countries, see Non-U.S. Portfolio on page 114 and Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Consumer Portfolio Credit Risk Management |
Credit risk management for the consumer portfolio begins with initial underwriting and continues throughout a borrower’s credit cycle. Statistical techniques in conjunction with experiential judgment are used in all aspects of portfolio management including underwriting, product pricing, risk appetite, setting credit limits, and establishing operating processes and metrics to quantify and balance risks and returns. Statistical models are built using detailed behavioral information from external sources such as credit bureaus and/or internal historical experience. These models are a component of our consumer credit risk management process and are used in part to help make both new and existing credit decisions, as well as portfolio management strategies, including authorizations and line management, collection practices and strategies, determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses, and economic capital allocations for credit risk.
During the first quarter of 2012, the bank regulatory agencies jointly issued interagency supervisory guidance on nonaccrual status for junior-lien consumer real estate loans. In accordance with this regulatory interagency guidance, we classify junior-lien home equity loans as nonperforming when the first-lien loan becomes 90 days past due even if the junior-lien loan is performing, and as a result, we reclassified $1.9 billion of performing home equity loans to nonperforming as of March 31, 2012, and $1.8 billion was included in nonperforming loans at June 30, 2012. The regulatory interagency guidance had no impact on our allowance for loan and lease losses or provision expense as the delinquency status of the underlying first-lien was already considered in our reserving process. For more information, see Consumer Portfolio Credit Risk Management – Home Equity on page 90.
For further information on our accounting policies regarding delinquencies, nonperforming status, charge-offs and TDRs for the consumer portfolio, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Consumer Credit Portfolio |
Improvement in the U.S. economy and labor markets throughout most of 2011 and into the six months ended June 30, 2012 resulted in lower credit losses in most consumer portfolios compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. However, continued stress in the housing market, including declines in home prices, continued to adversely impact the home loans portfolio.
Table 27 presents our outstanding consumer loans and the Countrywide PCI loan portfolio. Loans that were acquired from Countrywide and considered credit-impaired were recorded at fair value upon acquisition. In addition to being included in the “Outstandings” columns in Table 27, these loans are also shown separately, net of purchase accounting adjustments, in the “Countrywide Purchased Credit-impaired Loan Portfolio” column. For additional information, see Note 5 – Outstanding Loans and Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The impact of the Countrywide PCI loan portfolio on certain credit statistics is reported where appropriate. See Countrywide Purchased Credit-impaired Loan Portfolio on page 94 for more information. Under certain circumstances, loans that were originally classified as discontinued real estate loans upon acquisition have been subsequently modified from pay option or subprime loans into loans with more conventional terms and are now included in the residential mortgage portfolio, but continue to be classified as PCI loans as shown in Table 27.

Table 28 presents accruing consumer loans past due 90 days or more and consumer nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans do not include past due consumer credit card loans, consumer non-real estate-secured loans or unsecured consumer loans as these loans are generally charged off no later than the end of the month in which the loan becomes 180 days past due. Real estate-secured past due consumer loans that are insured by the FHA or individually insured under long-term stand-by agreements with FNMA and FHLMC (fully-insured loan portfolio) are reported as accruing as opposed to nonperforming since the principal repayment is insured. Fully-insured loans included in accruing past due 90 days or more are primarily related to our purchases of delinquent FHA loans pursuant to our servicing agreements. Additionally, nonperforming loans and accruing balances past due 90 days or more do not include the Countrywide PCI loan portfolio or loans accounted for under the fair value option even though the customer may be contractually past due. For additional information on FHA loans, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations – Servicing Matters and Foreclosure Processes on page 65.
