NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (PARENT COMPANY ONLY)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed financial statements of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“ML & Co.” or the “Parent Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “Merrill Lynch”) and the Notes thereto in the ML & Co. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2006 (the “Annual Report”).

The Parent Company condensed financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which include industry practices.

Interest revenue includes $5.3 billion, $3.2 billion and $1.8 billion of revenues from affiliates for years ended December 29, 2006, December 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. Interest expense includes $0.2 billion, $0.6 billion and $0.3 billion of expenses to affiliates for years ended December 29, 2006, December 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively.

Investments in affiliates are accounted for in accordance with the equity method.

The Parent Company hedges certain risks arising from long-term borrowing payment obligations and investments in and loans to foreign subsidiaries. See Note 9 and the “Derivatives” section of Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, respectively, for additional information on these hedges.

NOTE 2. BLACKROCK MERGER

On September 29, 2006, Merrill Lynch completed the merger of its Merrill Lynch Investment Managers (“MLIM”) business with BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) (the “BlackRock merger”). In connection with the BlackRock merger, Merrill Lynch received 65 million BlackRock common and preferred shares and owns a 45% voting interest and approximately half of the economic interest of the combined company.
ML & Co. holds 32.4 million (49.8%) of the BlackRock

shares. At the completion of the BlackRock merger, ML & Co. recognized a pre-tax gain of $422 million. ML & Co.’s investment in BlackRock is $5.1 billion and is included in Investment securities on the Condensed Balance Sheet. Merrill Lynch accounts for its investment in BlackRock under the equity method of accounting and records its share of BlackRock's earnings, net of expenses and taxes, in other revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

ML & Co. enters into secured borrowing and lending transactions as a part of its normal operating activities. Under these transactions, ML & Co. will enter into repurchase or resale agreements. Receivables under resale agreements includes $6.1 billion and $4.4 billion in resale agreements with affiliates for December 29, 2006 and December 30, 2005, respectively. Payables under repurchase agreements includes $5.1 billion and $11.2 billion with affiliates for December 29, 2006 and December 30, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities include liquid debt instruments held for liquidity and collateral purposes. Investment securities reported on the Condensed Balance Sheets at December 29, 2006 and December 30, 2005 are as follows:

(dollars in millions)

(1)		Non-qualifying for SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, purposes.
(2)		Represents investments economically hedging deferred compensation liabilities.

The following table presents fair value and unrealized losses, after hedges, for available-for-sale securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 29, 2006 and December 30, 2005.

Total temporarily impaired securities			$13,727				$(153	)			$2,497				$(44	)			$16,224				$(197	)

The majority of the unrealized losses relate to mortgage- and asset-backed securities. The majority of these investments are AAA-rated debentures and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. agencies.

ML & Co. reviews its available-for-sale securities periodically to determine whether any impairment is other-than-temporary. Factors considered in the review include length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and ML & Co.’s intent and ability to retain the security to allow for an anticipated recovery in market value. As of December 29, 2006, ML & Co. does not consider the securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at December 29, 2006 by contractual maturity, for available-for-sale securities follow:

(dollars in millions)
		Available-for-Sale
		Amortized				Estimated Fair
		Cost				Value

			1,466				1,448
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities			13,075				12,976

(dollars in millions)
		2006				2005				2004
Proceeds			$9,202				$4,837				$2,290
Gross realized gains			27				43				17
Gross realized losses			(32	)			(16	)			(1	)

(See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for further information.)

NOTE 5. ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES

The Parent Company provides funding to subsidiaries in the form of senior advances, subordinated loans, preferred securities, and equity.

Senior advances are provided to regulated and unregulated subsidiaries and have an average maturity of less than one year.

Subordinated loans are provided to regulated subsidiaries and qualify as regulatory capital. Subordinated loans are supported by Parent Company long-term capital. As of December 29, 2006, the average maturity of subordinated loans was approximately 2 years, with maturities on individual loans ranging from 1 to 9 years (see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for further information).

Preferred securities represent $4.3 billion in Redeemable Cumulative Preferred Stock issued to ML & Co. by unregulated consolidated Merrill Lynch subsidiaries. Approximately $3.0 billion in preferred stock is redeemable anytime on or after December 31, 2006. The remaining $1.3 billion in preferred stock is redeemable at any time at the option of either ML & Co. or the issuing subsidiary.

NOTE 6. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS

Long-term borrowings, including adjustments for the effects of fair value hedges and various equity-linked or other indexed instruments, and long-term debt issued to trust preferred securities at December 29, 2006, mature as follows:

(dollars in millions)
2007			$29,160				20	%
2008			29,356				20
2009			21,804				15
2010			13,226				9
2011			15,595				10
2012 and thereafter			37,938				26
Total			$147,079				100	%

Long-term borrowings includes $684 million and $791 million of borrowings purchased by affiliates in the secondary market as of December 29, 2006 and December 30, 2005, respectively.

Borrowing Facilities

ML & Co. maintains a $5 billion liquidity facility in the form of a committed repurchase agreement with Merrill Lynch Bank USA. Assets eligible for repurchase under the terms of the repurchase agreement include securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, Federal National Mortgage Association, Government National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. This facility renews annually.

(See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for further information.)

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

ML & Co. has been named as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions, and other litigation arising in connection with its activities as a global diversified financial services institution. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. In

some cases, the issuers that would otherwise be the primary defendants in such cases are bankrupt or otherwise in financial distress. ML & Co. is also involved in investigations and/or proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory agencies. ML & Co. believes it has strong defenses to, and where appropriate, will vigorously contest, many of these matters. Given the number of these matters, some are likely to result in adverse judgments, penalties, injunctions, fines, or other relief. ML & Co. may explore potential settlements before a case is taken through trial because of the uncertainty, risks, and costs inherent in the litigation process. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, ML & Co. will accrue a liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many lawsuits and arbitrations, including almost all of the class action lawsuits, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case no accrual is made until that time. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, ML & Co. cannot predict what the eventual loss or range of loss related to such matters will be. ML & Co. continues to assess these cases and believes, based on information available to it, that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of ML & Co. as set forth in the Condensed Financial Statements, but may be material to ML & Co.’s operating results or cash flows for any particular period and may impact ML & Co.’s credit ratings.

ML & Co. is under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and states in which Merrill Lynch has significant business operations, such as New York. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction. An IRS examination covering the years 2001-2003 was completed in 2006. IRS audits are in progress for the tax years 2004-2006. The IRS field audit for the 2004 and 2005 tax years is expected to be completed in 2007. New York State and City audits for the years 1997-2001 were also completed in 2006 and did not have a material impact on the condensed financial statements. ML & Co. regularly assesses the likelihood of additional assessments in each of the tax jurisdictions resulting from these examinations. Tax reserves have been established which the Parent Company believes to be adequate in relation to the potential for additional assessments. However, there is a reasonable possibility that additional amounts may be incurred. ML & Co. adjusts the level of reserves when there is more information available, or when an event occurs requiring a change. The reassessment of tax reserves could have a material impact on the Parent Company’s effective tax rate in the period in which it occurs.

ML & Co. guarantees certain senior debt instruments and structured notes issued by subsidiaries, which totaled $35.0 billion and $15.7 billion in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Also, in the normal course of business, ML & Co. guarantees certain of its subsidiaries’ obligations under derivative contracts. The total liability balance for derivatives on these subsidiaries, after the effect of netting pursuant to enforceable netting agreements, was approximately $36.3 billion and $26.3 billion at December 29, 2006 and December 30, 2005, respectively. This represents the current fair value of the subsidiaries’ obligations. The maximum payout is not quantifiable because, for example, changes in the value of the underlying of the derivative contract could be unlimited. Under FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, ML & Co. is not subject to the initial recognition and measurement provisions for its exposure to guarantees of its subsidiaries’ obligations. ML & Co. records all derivative transactions at fair value on its Condensed Balance Sheets (see the “Derivatives” section of Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for discussion of risk management of derivatives).

In addition to the derivative contracts described above, ML & Co. guarantees certain liquidity facilities. ML & Co. also provides guarantees associated with the Hopewell campus and aircraft leases. The maximum exposure to ML & Co. as a result of these guarantees is approximately $322 million as of December 29, 2006 and December 30, 2005. The carrying value of the liability on the Condensed Balance Sheets is $17 million and $20 million at December 29, 2006 and December 30, 2005, respectively. (See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for further information.)

ML & Co. also guarantees, on a junior subordinated basis, the payment in full of all distribution and other payments on the trust preferred securities to the extent that the trusts have funds legally available. This guarantee and similar partnership distribution guarantees are subordinated to all other liabilities of ML & Co. and rank equally with preferred stock of ML & Co. (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for further information).
