Bank of America Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Corporation) through its banking and nonbanking subsidiaries, provide a diverse range of financial services and products throughout the U.S. and in selected international markets. At June 30, 2005, the Corporation operated its banking activities primarily under two charters: Bank of America, National Association (Bank of America, N.A.) and Bank of America, N.A. (USA). On June 13, 2005, Fleet National Bank merged with and into Bank of America, N.A., with Bank of America, N.A. as the surviving entity. This merger had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation.
On June 30, 2005, the Corporation announced a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of MBNA Corporation (MBNA), a leading provider of credit card and payment products, for approximately $35 billion in cash (15 percent) and stock (85 percent). Under the terms of the agreement, MBNA stockholders will receive 0.5009 of a share of the Corporations common stock plus $4.125 for each MBNA share of common stock. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year.
On April 1, 2004, the Corporation acquired all of the outstanding stock of FleetBoston Financial Corporation (FleetBoston) (the Merger). FleetBostons results of operations were included in the Corporations results beginning on April 1, 2004. The Merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries, and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Corporation is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results have been made. Results of operations of companies purchased are included from the date of acquisition. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Recently Issued or Proposed Accounting Pronouncements
On July 14, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an exposure draft, FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FSP 13-a, Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction (FSP 13-a). FSP 13-a requires a lessor to reevaluate the classification of a leveraged lease and to recalculate the recognition of the lease income when there is a change in the estimated timing of the cash flows relating to income taxes generated by the lease. The proposed interpretation is to be effective as of December 31, 2005. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the provisions of FSP 13-a.
As part of this evaluation, management is considering the potential impact of the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) stated position on certain leveraged leases and the impact of such position on the Corporation and its predecessors federal income tax returns. Depending on the final provisions of FSP 13-a and the final resolution with the IRS, adoption of FSP 13-a may have a material impact on the Corporations current accounting treatment for leveraged leases. This change in accounting that would be required under the proposed FSP would be reflected as both an adjustment to Goodwill for leveraged leases acquired as part of the Merger and a one-time cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle below net income from operations as of the end of the year of adoption.
On July 14, 2005, the FASB issued an exposure draft, Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions, a proposed interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. The proposed interpretation requires recognition of a tax benefit to the extent of managements best estimate of the impact of a tax position, provided it is probable that the tax position would be sustained based on its technical merits. The proposed interpretation is to be effective as of December 31, 2005. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the proposed interpretation.
6
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-based Payment (SFAS 123R) which eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions, including grants of employee stock options, using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value-based method with the resulting compensation cost recognized over the period that the employee is required to provide service in order to receive their compensation. SFAS 123R also amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, requiring the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs to be reported as financing cash flows, rather than as operating cash flows as currently required. The Corporation adopted the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation prospectively as of January 1, 2003. Under SFAS 123R, the initial effective date for the Corporation was July 1, 2005. However, on April 15, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued the final rule Amendment to Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X Regarding the Compliance for SFAS 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment which extends the effective date for public companies to the first fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2005. As a result, the Corporation will be adopting SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006 under the modified-prospective application. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Corporations results of operations and financial condition.
Stock-based Compensation
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, (SFAS 148) was adopted prospectively by the Corporation on January 1, 2003. SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In accordance with SFAS 148, the Corporation provides disclosures as if it had adopted the fair value-based method of measuring all outstanding employee stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The following table presents the effect on Net Income and Earnings per Common Share had the fair value-based method been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

Restricted stock expense, included in Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, was $128 million and $105 million pre-tax, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $242 million and $169 million pre-tax. |
7
Under certain equity plans, upon adoption of FAS 123R, the Corporation will be required to change its approach for recognizing stock compensation cost for employees who meet certain age and service criteria and; thus, are retirement eligible as described in the plan. For any new awards granted, which retain the retirement eligibility feature after the adoption of FAS 123R, the Corporation will recognize stock compensation cost immediately for awards granted to retirement eligible employees or over the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved. Had the Corporation been recording stock compensation cost under this approach, the estimated cost, net of taxes, recognized would have been reduced by $18 million and $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The estimated stock compensation cost, net of taxes, recognized would have increased by $153 million and $54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
For additional information on recently issued accounting pronouncements and other significant accounting principles, see Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporations Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 12, 2005.
Note 2 - Merger and Restructuring Activity
MBNA
On June 30, 2005, the Corporation announced a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of MBNA, a leading provider of credit card and payment products, for approximately $35 billion in cash (15 percent) and stock (85 percent). Under the terms of the agreement, MBNA stockholders will receive 0.5009 of a share of the Corporations common stock plus $4.125 for each MBNA share of common stock. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year.
FleetBoston
On April 1, 2004, the Corporation acquired all of the outstanding stock of FleetBoston after obtaining final shareholder and regulatory approvals. FleetBostons results of operations were included in the Corporations results beginning on April 1, 2004. The Merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Merger and Restructuring Charges
Merger and Restructuring Charges are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income, and include incremental costs to integrate the Corporations and FleetBostons operations. These charges represent costs associated with these one-time activities and do not represent on-going costs of the fully integrated combined organization. Systems integrations and related charges, and other, as shown in the following table, are expensed as incurred.
In addition, Merger and Restructuring Charges include costs related to an infrastructure initiative that was initiated in the third quarter of 2004 to simplify the Corporations business model. These costs were solely severance related. The Corporation does not expect to incur additional severance costs related to this initiative.

Note 4 - Derivatives
All derivatives are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, taking into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Corporation to settle positive and negative positions and offset cash collateral held with the same counterparty on a net basis. For exchange-traded contracts, fair value is based on quoted market prices. For non-exchange traded contracts, fair value is based on dealer quotes, pricing models or quoted prices for instruments with similar characteristics. The Corporation designates at inception whether the derivative contract is considered hedging or non-hedging for SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), accounting purposes. Non-hedging derivatives held for trading purposes, including credit default swaps used in the management of risk in the loan portfolio, are recorded as Derivative Assets or Derivative Liabilities with changes in fair value reflected in Trading Account Profits. Other non-hedging derivatives that are considered economic hedges are also recorded as Derivative Assets or Derivative Liabilities with changes in fair value generally recorded in the same Consolidated Statement of Income caption as the related economically hedged item. A detailed discussion of derivative trading activities and the ALM process is presented in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporations Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 12, 2005.

The following table presents the contract/notional and credit risk amounts at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 of all the Corporations derivative positions. These derivative positions are primarily executed in the over-the-counter market. Credit risk associated with derivatives is measured as the net replacement cost in the event the counterparties with contracts in a gain position to the Corporation completely fail to perform under the terms of those contracts. The credit risk amounts take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements, and on an aggregate basis have been reduced by the cash collateral applied against Derivative Assets. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the cash collateral applied against Derivative Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was $9.0 billion and $9.4 billion. In addition, at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the cash collateral placed against Derivative Liabilities was $9.5 billion and $6.0 billion.

Fair Value and Cash Flow Hedges
The Corporation uses various types of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate derivative contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates (fair value hedges). The Corporation also uses these types of contracts to protect against changes in the cash flows of its variable-rate assets and liabilities, and other forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges).
For cash flow hedges, gains and losses on derivative contracts reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) to current period earnings are included in the line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income in which the hedged item is recorded and in the same period the hedged item affects earnings. During the next 12 months, net losses on derivative instruments included in Accumulated OCI of approximately $834 million (pre-tax) are expected to be reclassified into earnings. These net losses reclassified into earnings are expected to decrease income or increase expense on the respective hedged items.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, includes $(204) million and $15 million related to change in value attributed to SFAS 133 hedged MSRs and $(14) million and $(30) million of impairments. |
(3) | Net of impairment allowance of $258 million and $32 million at June 30, 2005 and 2004. |
The estimated fair value of MSRs was $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
The key economic assumptions used in valuations of MSRs include modeled prepayment rates and resultant expected weighted average lives of the MSRs and the option adjusted spread (OAS) levels. An OAS model runs multiple interest rate scenarios and projects prepayments specific to each one of those interest rate scenarios.
For purposes of evaluating and measuring impairment, the Corporation stratifies the portfolio based on the predominant risk characteristics of loan type and note rate. Indicated impairment, by risk stratification, is recognized as a reduction in Mortgage Banking Income, through a valuation allowance, for any excess of adjusted carrying value over estimated fair value.
Note 8 - Special Purpose Financing Entities
The Corporation securitizes assets and may retain a portion or all of the securities, subordinated tranches, interest-only strips and, in some cases, a cash reserve account, all of which are considered retained interests in the securitized assets. Those assets may be serviced by the Corporation or by third parties. The Corporation also uses other special purpose financing entities to access the commercial paper market and for other lending, leasing and real estate activities. See Notes 1 and 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporations Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 12, 2005, for additional discussion of securitizations and other special purpose financing entities.
Variable Interest Entities
At June 30, 2005, the assets and liabilities of the Corporations multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduits that have been consolidated in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 were reflected in AFS Securities, Other Assets, and Commercial Paper and Other Short-term Borrowings in the Global Capital Markets and Investment Banking business segment. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Corporation held $5.9 billion and $7.7 billion of assets in these entities while the Corporations maximum loss exposure associated with these entities including unfunded lending commitments was approximately $8.0 billion and $9.4 billion. The Corporation also had contractual relationships with other consolidated VIEs that engage in leasing or lending activities or real estate joint ventures. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the amount of assets of these entities was $886 million and $560 million, and the Corporations maximum possible loss exposure was $226 million and $132 million.
Additionally, the Corporation had significant variable interests in other VIEs that it did not consolidate because it was not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. In such cases, the Corporation does not absorb the majority of the entities expected losses nor does it receive a majority of the entities expected residual returns. These entities typically support the financing needs of the Corporations customers by facilitating their access to the commercial paper markets. The Corporation functions as administrator and provides either liquidity and letters of credit, or derivatives to the VIE. The Corporation also provides asset management and related services to other special purpose vehicles that engage in lending, investing, or real estate activities. Total assets of these entities at June 30,
16
2005 and December 31, 2004 were approximately $28.9 billion and $32.9 billion. Revenues associated with administration, liquidity, letters of credit and other services were approximately $71 million and $78 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Corporations maximum loss exposure associated with these VIEs was approximately $24.6 billion and $25.0 billion, which is net of amounts syndicated.
Management does not believe losses resulting from its involvement with the entities discussed above will be material. See Notes 1 and 8 of the Corporations Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 12, 2005, for additional discussion of special purpose financing entities.
Note 9 - Goodwill and Other Intangibles
The following table presents allocated Goodwill at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 for each business segment. The increase from December 31, 2004 was primarily due to the increase in goodwill related to the October 15, 2004 acquisition of National Processing, Inc. (NPC).

As a result of the Merger, the Corporation recorded $2.2 billion of core deposit intangibles, $660 million of purchased credit card relationship intangibles and $409 million of other customer relationship intangibles. As of June 30, 2005, the weighted average amortization period for core deposit intangibles as well as other intangibles was approximately nine years. As a result of the acquisition of NPC, the Corporation preliminarily allocated $479 million to other intangibles with a weighted average amortization period of approximately 10 years as of June 30, 2005.
Amortization expense on core deposit intangibles and other intangibles was $204 million and $201 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and $412 million and $255 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to the Merger. The Corporation estimates that aggregate amortization expense will be approximately $201 million and $195 million for the third and fourth quarters of 2005. In addition, the Corporation estimates that aggregate amortization expense will be $740 million, $593 million, $480 million, $379 million and $305 million for 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into a number of off-balance sheet commitments. These commitments expose the Corporation to varying degrees of credit and market risk and are subject to the same credit and market risk limitation reviews as those recorded on the Corporations Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional information on commitments and contingencies, see Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporations Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 12, 2005.
Credit Extension Commitments
The Corporation enters into commitments to extend credit such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit to meet the financing needs of its customers. The outstanding unfunded lending commitments shown in the following table have been reduced by amounts participated to other financial institutions of $19.5 billion and $23.4 billion at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The carrying amount for these commitments, which represents the liability recorded related to these instruments, at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $433 million and $520 million. At June 30, 2005, the carrying amount included deferred revenue of $50 million and a reserve for unfunded lending commitments of $383 million. At December 31, 2004, the carrying amount included deferred revenue of $118 million and a reserve for unfunded lending commitments of $402 million.
Credit card lines acquired from FleetBoston were moved to a common reporting platform in the first quarter of 2005. The unfunded lending commitments for credit card lines for prior periods have been revised to conform to current period presentation.

At December 31, 2004, the Corporation had whole mortgage loan purchase commitments of $3.3 billion, all of which settled in the first quarter of 2005. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Corporation had no forward whole mortgage loan sale commitments.

Other Guarantees
The Corporation sells products that offer book value protection primarily to plan sponsors of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)-governed pension plans such as 401(k) plans, 457 plans, etc. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the notional amount of these guarantees totaled $31.9 billion and $26.3 billion with estimated maturity dates between 2005 and 2035. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Corporation has not made a payment under these products, and management believes that the probability of payments under these guarantees is remote.
The Corporation also sells products that guarantee the return of principal to investors at a preset future date. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the notional amount of these guarantees totaled $7.1 billion and $8.1 billion; however, at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Corporation had not made a payment under these products, and management believes that the probability of payments under these guarantees is remote. These guarantees have various maturities ranging from 2005 to 2016.
The Corporation has also written puts on highly rated fixed income securities. Its obligation under these agreements is to buy back the assets at predetermined contractual yields in the event of a severe market disruption in the short-term funding market. These agreements have various maturities ranging from two to seven years, and the pre-determined yields are based on the quality of the assets and the structural elements pertaining to the market disruption. The notional amount of these put options was $1.1 billion at June 30, 2005 and $653 million at December 31, 2004. Due to the high quality of the assets and various structural protections, management believes that the probability of incurring a loss under these agreements is remote.
The Corporation has entered into additional guarantee agreements, including lease end obligation agreements, partial credit guarantees on certain leases, real estate joint venture guarantees, sold risk participation swaps and sold put options that require gross settlement. The maximum potential future payment under these agreements was approximately $2.5 billion and $2.1 billion at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The estimated maturity dates of these obligations are between 2005 and 2033. The Corporation has made no material payments under these guarantees.
The Corporation provides credit and debit card processing services to various merchants, processing credit and debit card transactions on their behalf. In connection with these services, a liability may arise in the event of a billing dispute between the merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholders favor and the merchant defaults upon its obligation to reimburse the cardholder. A cardholder, through its issuing bank, generally has until the later of up to four months after the date a transaction is processed or the delivery of the product or service to present a chargeback to the Corporation as the merchant processor. If the Corporation is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, it bears the loss for the amount paid to the cardholder. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004, the Corporation processed $160.0 billion and $143.1 billion of transactions and recorded losses as a result of these chargebacks of $6 million in both periods.
At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Corporation held as collateral approximately $284 million and $203 million of merchant escrow deposits which the Corporation has the right to set off against amounts due from the individual merchants. The Corporation also has the right to offset any payments with cash flows otherwise due to the merchant. Accordingly, the Corporation believes that the maximum potential exposure is not representative of the actual potential loss exposure. The Corporation believes the maximum potential exposure for chargebacks would not exceed the total amount of merchant transactions processed through Visa and MasterCard for the last four months, which represents the claim period for the cardholder, plus any outstanding delayed-delivery transactions. As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the maximum potential exposure totaled approximately $100.2 billion and $93.4 billion.
Within the Corporations brokerage business, the Corporation has contracted with a third party to provide clearing services that include underwriting margin loans to the Corporations clients. This contract stipulates that the Corporation will indemnify the third party for any margin loan losses that occur in their issuing margin to the Corporations clients. The maximum potential future payment under this indemnification was $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Historically, any payments made under this indemnification have been immaterial. As these margin loans are highly collateralized by the securities held by the brokerage clients, the
19
Corporation has assessed the probability of making such payments in the future as remote. This indemnification would end with the termination of the clearing contract.

The charges against Mr. Sala have not been disclosed. With respect to the related charge against the Corporation asserting administrative liability for the alleged activities of its former employees, the Court of Milan, Italy determined that as a result of a failure to serve the Corporation correctly, the charge would be dismissed. Subsequently, on July 22, 2005, the Public Prosecutor of Milan refiled these charges against the Corporation.
On July 13, 2005, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted in its entirety the motion to dismiss filed by the Corporation, BANA and Banc of America Securities Limited (BASL) in the Southern Alaska Carpenters Fund case.

(1) | Reduced Shareholders Equity by $3.8 billion and increased diluted earnings per common share by $0.02 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. These repurchases were partially offset by the issuance of approximately 54 million shares of common stock under employee plans, which increased Shareholders Equity by $1.8 billion, net of $292 million of deferred compensation related to restricted stock awards, and decreased diluted earnings per common share by $0.01 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. |
(2) | On January 28, 2004, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 180 million shares of the Corporations common stock at an aggregate cost not to exceed $9.0 billion and to be completed within a period of 18 months. On March 22, 2005, the Board authorized an additional stock repurchase program of up to 200 million shares of the Corporations common stock at an aggregate cost not to exceed $12.0 billion and to be completed within a period of 18 months. |
(3) | Reduced Shareholders Equity by $3.0 billion and increased diluted earnings per common share by $0.03 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. These repurchases were partially offset by the issuance of approximately 67 million shares of common stock under employee plans, which increased Shareholders Equity by $2.1 billion, net of $183 million of deferred compensation related to restricted stock awards, and decreased diluted earnings per common share by $0.03 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. |
(4) | On January 22, 2003, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 260 million shares of the Corporations common stock at an aggregate cost of $12.5 billion. This repurchase plan was completed during the second quarter of 2004. Also refer to the Board authorized stock repurchase program dated January 28, 2004, as discussed in footnote (2) above. |
The Corporation will continue to repurchase shares, from time to time, in open market or in private transactions through the Corporations approved repurchase programs. In light of the Corporations announced merger with MBNA, the Corporations ability to repurchase shares of common stock is limited by additional SEC rules and regulations. However, even under the more restrictive rules and regulations, the Corporation expects to be able to repurchase a number of shares of common stock equal to the shares issued under the Corporations employee stock plans.

Note 12 - Pension and Postretirement Plans
The Corporation sponsors noncontributory trusteed qualified pension plans that cover substantially all officers and employees, a number of noncontributory nonqualified pension plans, and postretirement health and life plans. The Bank of America Pension Plan (the Pension Plan) allows participants to select from various earnings measures, which are based on the returns of certain funds or common stock of the Corporation. The participant-selected earnings measures determine the earnings rate on the individual participant account balances in the Pension Plan. A detailed discussion of these plans is provided in Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporations Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 12, 2005.
As a result of the Merger, the Corporation assumed the obligations related to the plans of former FleetBoston. These plans are substantially similar to the legacy Bank of America plans discussed in Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporations Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 12, 2005, however, the FleetBoston Financial Pension Plan does not allow participants to select various earnings measures, rather the earnings rate is based on a benchmark rate. The tables within this Note include the information related to these plans beginning on April 1, 2004.

The Corporation previously disclosed that its best estimate of its contributions to be made to the Qualified Pension Plans, Nonqualified Pension Plans, and the Postretirement Health and Life Plans in 2005 is $0, $114 million and $37 million, respectively.

Note 13 - Business Segment Information
The Corporation reports the results of its operations through four business segments: Global Consumer and Small Business Banking, Global Business and Financial Services, Global Capital Markets and Investment Banking, and Global Wealth and Investment Management. Certain operating segments have been aggregated into a single business segment. The Corporation may periodically reclassify business segment results based on modifications to its management reporting methodologies and changes in organizational alignment.
Global Consumer and Small Business Banking provides a diversified range of products and services to individuals and small businesses through multiple delivery channels. Global Business and Financial Services serves domestic and international business clients providing financial services, specialized industry expertise and local delivery through a global team of client managers and a variety of businesses. Global Capital Markets and Investment Banking provides capital-raising solutions, advisory services, derivatives capabilities, equity and debt sales and trading for the Corporations clients as well as traditional bank deposit and loan products, treasury management and payment services to large corporations and institutional clients. Global Wealth and Investment Management offers investment services, estate management, financial planning services, fiduciary management, credit and banking expertise, and diversified asset management products to institutional clients as well as affluent and high-net-worth individuals.
All Other consists primarily of Equity Investments, Noninterest Income and Expense amounts associated with the ALM process (including Gains on Sales of Debt Securities), the residual impact of the allowance for credit losses processes and funds transfer pricing allocation methodologies, Merger and Restructuring Charges, intersegment eliminations, and the results of certain consumer finance and commercial lending businesses that are being liquidated.
Total Revenue includes Net Interest Income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis and Noninterest Income. The adjustment of Net Interest Income to a fully taxable-equivalent basis results in a corresponding increase in Income Tax Expense. The Net Interest Income of the business segments includes the results of a funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics. Net Interest Income of the business segments also includes an allocation of Net Interest Income generated by the Corporations ALM process.
Certain expenses not directly attributable to a specific business segment are allocated to the segments based on pre-determined means. The most significant of these expenses include data processing costs, 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 cost of certain centralized or shared functions are allocated based on methodologies which reflect utilization.
25
The following tables present Total Revenue on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis and Net Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 for each business segment, as well as All Other.

Global Consumer and Small Business Banking
Net Income decreased $145 million, or eight percent, to $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. Driving the decrease was a $502 million increase in Provision for Credit Losses. The increase in Provision for Credit Losses to $1.1 billion from $641 million was due to the establishment of a $210 million reserve related to additional changes that will be made in credit card minimum payment requirements later this year and higher net charge-offs of $206 million, of which $189 million was due to an increase in credit card net charge-offs. Partially offsetting this was a $373 million increase in Noninterest Income as a $274 million increase in Card Income and a $138 million increase in Service Charges were partially offset by an $108 million decrease in Consumer Mortgage Banking Income.
Net Income increased $684 million, or 24 percent, to $3.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. Driving the increase was the addition of the FleetBoston portfolio, which contributed to the $1.1 billion increase in Net Interest Income, the $752 million increase in Card Income and the $370 million increase in Service Charges. Partially offsetting this was a $795 million increase in Noninterest Expense and a $788 million increase in Provision for Credit Losses. The increase in Provision for Credit Losses to $1.9 billion from $1.1 billion was primarily driven by higher net charge-offs of $531 million due to the addition of the FleetBoston credit card portfolio and growth in the credit card portfolio. The credit card minimum payment reserves previously discussed also drove higher Provision for Credit Losses. For more information on Global Consumer and Small Business Banking, see page 44.
Global Business and Financial Services
Net Income increased $368 million, or 43 percent, to $1.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. Net Interest Income increased $149 million as Average Loans and Leases increased $12.6 billion, or eight percent, and Average Deposits increased $4.1 billion, or four percent. The increase in Average Loans and Leases was primarily due to loan growth in Dealer Financial Services, Middle Market Banking, Commercial Real Estate Banking and Business Banking. Also driving the improved results was a $159 million decrease in Provision for Credit Losses to negative $164 million.
Net Income increased $898 million, or 62 percent, to $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily due to a $926 million increase in Net Interest Income as Average Loans and Leases increased $37.5 billion, or 27 percent, and Average Deposits increased $23.7 billion, or 29 percent. The increase in Average Loans and Leases was primarily due to the addition of FleetBoston and organic loan growth in Dealer Financial Services, Commercial Real Estate Banking, Middle Market Banking and Business Banking. Deposit balance growth resulted from the addition of FleetBoston and the organic deposit growth in Business Banking and Commercial Real Estate Banking. Also driving the improved results was a $307 million decrease in Provision for Credit Losses to negative $221 million. For more information on Global Business and Financial Services, see page 51.
31
Global Capital Markets and Investment Banking
Net Income increased $50 million, or 12 percent, to $461 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was driven by lower Noninterest Expense of $483 million and lower Provision for Credit Losses of $77 million, offset by a decrease in Trading Account Profits of $133 million and lower Investment Banking Income of $125 million. The decrease in Noninterest Expense was primarily driven by the absence of litigation expense incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2004. Also impacting Net Income was a decline in Net Interest Income of $250 million as a result of a flattening yield curve.
Net Income increased $318 million, or 37 percent, to $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was driven by lower Noninterest Expense of $401 million, higher Trading Account Profits of $303 million and increased Equity Investment Gains of $104 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in Investment Banking Income of $156 million primarily due to a decline in securities underwriting. Also impacting Net Income was a decline in Net Interest Income of $343 million as a result of a flattening yield curve partially offset by the addition of the FleetBoston portfolio. For more information on Global Capital Markets and Investment Banking, see page 53.
Global Wealth and Investment Management
Net Income increased $192 million, or 48 percent, to $590 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. Driving the increase was an additional $233 million in Net Interest Income due to increases in loans and deposits in both Premier Banking and The Private Bank. Also contributing to the increase in Net Income was higher Equity Investment Gains of $63 million. Expenses remained relatively unchanged.
Net Income increased $521 million, or 81 percent, to $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was due to an additional $573 million in Net Interest Income as we experienced increases in loans and deposits in both Premier Banking and The Private Bank, and the addition of FleetBoston earning assets to the portfolio. Also contributing to the increase in Net Income was higher Investment and Brokerage Services income of $345 million. Partially offsetting these increases were higher Personnel costs of $165 million related primarily to the addition of FleetBoston. Total assets under management decreased $8.7 billion, or two percent, to $442.8 billion at June 30, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004, driven by net outflows of $6.4 billion primarily in short-term money market assets. For more information on Global Wealth and Investment Management, see page 57.
All Other
Net Income decreased $18 million, or 4 percent, to $433 million but increased $40 million, or 5 percent, to $810 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in 2004. For more information on All Other, see page 60.
Financial Highlights
Net Interest Income
Net Interest Income on a FTE basis increased $90 million to $7.8 billion and $2.2 billion to $15.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004. The primary driver of the six month increase was the Merger. In addition, these increases were driven by growth in consumer (primarily credit card and home equity) and commercial loan levels, a larger asset-liability management (ALM) portfolio (primarily securities) and higher domestic deposit levels. Partially offsetting these increases were the negative impact of spread compression due to the flattening of the yield curve, a lower trading-related contribution and reductions in loan balances from corporate, foreign and exited businesses. The net interest yield on a FTE basis declined 50 basis points (bps) to 2.81 percent and 34 bps to 2.95 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to the negative impact of an increase in lower-yielding trading-related balances and spread compression due to flattening of the yield curve partially offset by growth in core deposit and consumer loan levels. For more information on Net Interest Income on a FTE basis, see Tables 5 and 6 on pages 41 through 43.

These increases were driven by higher consumer net charge-offs of $190 million and $494 million, of which $189 million and $486 million of the increases were from credit card net charge-offs. Higher credit card net charge-offs for both periods were driven by organic portfolio growth and seasoning, the return of previously securitized loans to the balance sheet, increases effective in 2004 in credit card minimum payment requirements and a temporary increase in bankruptcy net charge-offs resulting from changes in bankruptcy legislation. Credit card net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2005 also increased due to the addition of the FleetBoston portfolio. The increased net charge-offs associated with the 2004 changes in credit card minimum payment requirements did not impact the Provision for Credit Losses in the first half of 2005 as those expected net charge-offs were provided for in late 2004. Also driving the increases in Provision for Credit Losses was the establishment, during the second quarter of 2005, of $210 million of Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses related to additional changes that will be made in credit card minimum payment requirements later this year. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases of $93 million and $322 million in the commercial Provision for Credit Losses to negative $48 million and negative $222 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same periods of 2004. For both periods, lower commercial net charge-offs were the primary driver of the decreased commercial Provision for Credit Losses. The Provision for Credit Losses for the first half of 2005 included a $250 million reduction in the general portion of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses as credit integration uncertainties related to FleetBoston were reduced during the second quarter.

Gains on Sales of Debt Securities
Gains on Sales of Debt Securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were $325 million and $984 million compared to $795 million and $1.3 billion for the same periods in 2004, primarily as a result of ALM activity to manage mortgage prepayment and interest rate risk.

Noninterest Expense increased $1.4 billion to $14.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to the addition of FleetBoston.
| Personnel Expense increased $991 million primarily due to the impact of FleetBoston associates and increases in salaries and wages and incentive compensation. |
| Occupancy Expense increased $142 million due to the impact of the Merger. |
| Amortization of Intangibles increased $157 million driven by amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Merger. |
| Merger and Restructuring Charges were $108 million higher in connection with the integration of FleetBostons operations. For more information on Merger and Restructuring Charges, see Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2005, Income Tax Expense was $2.2 billion, reflecting an effective tax rate of 33.4 percent, compared to $2.0 billion and 33.9 percent during the same period in 2004. The higher effective tax rate for 2004 primarily resulted from adjustments to the expected annual effective tax rate related to the Merger, taking into consideration higher state taxes and the effect of purchase accounting. Income Tax Expense was $4.5 billion, reflecting an effective tax rate of 33.4 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $3.3 billion and 33.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Assets
Average Loans and Leases have remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2005 with a decrease of $4.5 billion, or one percent, from the three months ended March 31, 2005 and an increase of $5.0 billion or one percent, from the three months ended December 31, 2004. Average Securities increased $22.6 billion, or 11 percent, and $56.0 billion, or 33 percent, from the three months ended March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, as a result of repositioning our ALM portfolio and investing excess cash from deposit growth. Additionally, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, average trading-related assets increased $16.4 billion, or 14 percent, and $23.6 billion, or 21 percent, as we expanded our trading book to accommodate the needs of our clients. For more information, see Tables 5 and 6 on pages 41 through 43.
Liabilities and Shareholders Equity
Average core deposits increased $10.9 billion, or two percent, and $20.3 billion, or four percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The increase was attributable to organic growth which resulted from our continued improvements in customer satisfaction, new product offerings and our account growth efforts. At June 30, 2005, our Tier 1 Capital ratio was 8.06 percent, compared to 8.20 percent and 8.10 percent at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Supplemental Financial Data
Table 3 provides a reconciliation of the supplemental financial data mentioned below with GAAP financial measures. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.
Operating Basis Presentation
In managing our business, we may at times look at performance excluding certain non-recurring items. For example, as an alternative to Net Income, we view results on an operating basis, which represents Net Income excluding Merger and Restructuring Charges. The operating basis of presentation is not defined by accounting
37
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We believe that the exclusion of Merger and Restructuring Charges, which represent events outside our normal operations, provides a meaningful period-to-period comparison and is more reflective of normalized operations.
Net Interest Income FTE Basis
In addition, we view Net Interest Income and related ratios and analysis (i.e. efficiency ratio, net interest yield and operating leverage) on a FTE basis. Although this is a non-GAAP measure, 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 interest 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 both taxable and tax-exempt sources.
Performance Measures
As mentioned above, certain performance measures including the efficiency ratio, net interest yield and operating leverage 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 evaluates how many basis points we are earning over the cost of funds. Operating leverage measures the total percentage revenue growth minus the total percentage expense growth for the corresponding period. During our annual integrated plan process, we set operating leverage and efficiency targets for the Corporation and each line of business. Targets vary by year and by business and are based on a variety of factors, including: maturity of the business, investment appetite, competitive environment, market factors, and other items (i.e. risk appetite). The aforementioned performance measures and ratios, earnings per common share (EPS), return on average assets, return on average common shareholders equity and dividend payout ratio, as well as those measures discussed more fully below, are presented in Table 3, Supplemental Financial Data and Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Measures.
Return on Average Equity and Shareholder Value Added
We also evaluate our business based upon return on average equity (ROE) and shareholder value added (SVA) measures. ROE and SVA both utilize non-GAAP allocation methodologies. ROE measures the earnings contribution of a unit as a percentage of the Shareholders Equity allocated to that unit. SVA is defined as cash basis earnings on an operating basis less a charge for the use of capital. For more information, see Basis of Presentation beginning on page 44. Both measures are used to evaluate the Corporations use of equity (i.e. capital) at the individual unit level and are integral components in the analytics for resource allocation. Using SVA as a performance measure places specific focus on whether incremental investments generate returns in excess of the costs of capital associated with those investments. Investments and initiatives are analyzed using SVA during the annual planning process for maximizing allocation of corporate resources. In addition, profitability, relationship and investment models all use ROE and SVA as key measures to support our overall growth goal.
