REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Plan Participants and the Corporate Benefits Committee of
The Bank of America 401(k) Plan for Legacy Companies
(formerly The Bank of America 401(k) Plan for Legacy Fleet and MBNA)
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Bank of America 401(k) Plan for Legacy Companies (formerly The Bank of America 401(k) Plan for Legacy Fleet and MBNA) (the Plan), as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets as of December 31, 2008 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1. | Description of the Plan |
The following description of The Bank of America 401(k) Plan for Legacy Companies (formerly The Bank of America 401(k) Plan for Legacy Fleet and MBNA) (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of applicable Plan provisions. Other Plan provisions may also apply to participants from predecessor plans that have merged into the Plan.
Plan Sponsor and Participating Employers
Bank of America Corporation (the Corporation) is the Plan Sponsor. Participating employers in the Plan include the Corporation and certain of the Corporations principal subsidiaries.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by the Corporation. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). All employees covered by the Plan are eligible to make pre-tax contributions as soon as administratively practical after employment commences. After-tax contributions are not permitted.
All employees covered by the Plan are eligible to receive company matching contributions after completing 12 months of service. Any pre-tax contributions made prior to completing 12 months of service are not eligible for the company matching contribution.
The Plan is administered by the Bank of America Corporation Corporate Benefits Committee (the Committee). The Board of Directors of the Corporation has the right at any time to remove any member of the Committee. Members of the Committee serve without compensation and act by majority vote. The Committee has overall responsibility for the operation and administration of the Plan including the power to construe and interpret the Plan, decide all questions that arise thereunder, and to delegate responsibilities.
Investment Alternatives
Effective January 1, 2008, the Columbia LifeGoal® Income & Growth Portfolio, the Columbia LifeGoal® Balanced Growth Portfolio, and the Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio were removed as investment alternatives. Also effective January 1, 2008, the Plan began offering the Barclays Global Investors LifePath funds identified below as investment alternatives. The Plan provides participants with a total of 26 investment alternatives. These investment alternatives are the 2050 LifePath Index Fund, 2045 LifePath Index Fund, 2040 LifePath Index Fund, 2035 LifePath Index Fund,

Participants may elect to modify existing investment allocations on a periodic basis subject to the provisions of the Plan.
Plan Trustee
Bank of America, N.A. is the Plan Trustee.
Contributions
The Plan provides for participant pre-tax contributions through salary deductions ranging from 1% to 30% of base pay, overtime pay, shift differential pay, vacation and holiday pay, short-term disability benefits, and commissions, bonuses or other incentive pay designated by the Committee. In accordance with federal law, annual pre-tax contributions for 2008 and 2007 were limited to $15,500 for participants who are below age 50. Additional contributions of $5,000 in 2008 and 2007 were permitted for participants over age 50. Participants are permitted to change their contribution rate in multiples of 1% on a daily basis.
Company matching contributions are calculated and allocated to the participants account on a pay period basis. The company matching contribution is equal to the first 5% of plan-eligible compensation contributed by the participant for the pay period. Company matching contributions are made in cash and are directed to the same investment choices as the pre-tax contributions. An end of year true-up matching contribution is also provided.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
1. | Description of the Plan (Continued) |
Contributions (Continued)
Employer contributions include forfeitures and additional contributions are made in the form of cash. After consideration of forfeitures, the actual cash remitted by the Corporation was $98,085,918 and $87,195,353 for 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Payment of Benefits
While still in service, participants may generally withdraw employee and employer vested contributions as follows:
(1) | Employee contributions may be withdrawn in the case of financial hardship within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, disability or after age 59 1/2; |
(2) | Company matching contributions for 2005 and later Plan years may be withdrawn in the case of disability or after age 59 1/2; and |
(3) | Company matching contributions for pre-2005 Plan years may be withdrawn in the case of financial hardship (as referenced above), disability, after 5 years of Plan participation, or after age 59 1/2. |
Following a participants death, disability, retirement or other separation from service, all vested amounts held in the Plan for a participants benefit are payable in a single lump sum. The form of payment is cash, except to the extent that the participant elects to have the portion of his/her account invested in the Bank of America Corporation Common Stock Fund distributed in shares of Bank of America Corporation Common Stock. Participants may elect to roll over a portion or all of their vested Plan balance to increase their monthly annuity payment under The Bank of America Pension Plan for Legacy Fleet (the Pension Plan) if their vested balances in both the Pension Plan and this Plan exceed $5,000. The Pension Plan is a defined benefit cash balance plan providing retirement benefits to eligible employees. The Plan provides other payment methods for certain participants in predecessor plans merged with the Plan.
Vesting of Benefits
Each participant is 100% vested in the participants pre-tax and rollover contributions to the Plan and company matching contributions, as well as earnings thereon.

Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the allocation of their pre-tax and matching contributions each pay period. Earnings for all funds are allocated to a participants account on a daily basis, based on the participants account balance in relation to the total fund balance. Participants may elect to have the dividends earned on the Corporations stock allocated to their accounts, paid directly in cash or reinvested in the Plan. Loan interest is credited to the investment funds of the participant making the payment.
Loans to Participants
Participants with vested account balances of at least $2,000 may borrow from their vested account balance. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. The maximum loan amount is $50,000. The maximum loan amount is reduced by (i) the outstanding balance of any other loan from the Plan or (ii) if greater, the highest outstanding balance of any other loan from the Plan any time during the one year period ending immediately before the date of the loan. The maximum loan amount may also not exceed 50% of the participants vested account balance, reduced by the outstanding balance of any other loan from the Plan.
Participants may apply for a general purpose loan or a primary residence loan. At any time participants may have only one general purpose loan and one primary residence loan outstanding from the Plan.
Each loan bears an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus 1% and is fixed for the life of the loan. Interest rates ranged from 4% to 11% for loans held by the Plan as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Loan repayments are made from payroll deductions and are invested in accordance with the participants current investment direction for future contributions. The repayment period for general purpose loans is 12 to 57 months. In the case of a primary residence loan the repayment period can be up to 180 months.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Effective April 7, 2008, the ABN AMRO Group 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan was merged into the Plan. Total assets transferred to the Plan as of April 7, 2008 were $963,122,049 including participant loans.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Significant accounting policies of the Plan are summarized below:
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Revenues are recognized as earned. Benefits paid to plan participants are recorded when paid. All other expenses are recorded as incurred.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Plan assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of Plan additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments
New Accounting Pronouncement - As of January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The effect of the adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Plans financial statements (see Note 6: Fair Value Measurements).
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 1573, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (FSP FAS 1573). FSP FAS 1573 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial instrument when the market for that financial asset is not active. The FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption of FSP FAS 1573 did not have a material impact on the Plans financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 1574, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP FAS 1574). FSP FAS 1574 provides additional application guidance in determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms what SFAS No. 157 states is the objective of fair value measurementto reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. The FSP FAS 1574 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 1574 is not expected to have a material impact on the Plans financial statements.
Fully Benefit-Responsive Contracts - Investment contracts are stated at fair market value and are adjusted to contract value (which represent contributions made under the contract, plus interest earned, less withdrawals and administrative expenses) on the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits (see Note 5: Investment Contracts). As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair

value of the investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
Investment Transactions
Realized gains or losses on investment transactions are recorded as the difference between proceeds received and cost.
Cost is determined on the average cost basis, except for Bank of America Corporation Common Stock, which is determined based on the aggregate participant level average cost basis.
Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments includes the reversal of previously recognized appreciation (depreciation) related to investments sold during the period.
Investment securities purchased and sold are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Plan Expenses
Bank of America, N.A. Trustee direct expenses, some professional fees and certain administrative fees for associate communication and services, recordkeeping and benefit payment services are paid by the Plan. These expenses are borne by participants based on their investments in the Plans investment funds. Other administrative expenses and some professional fees are paid by the Corporation.
Investment Management
The Plan provides 26 investment alternatives to participants. Some of these investment alternatives are invested in mutual funds from the Columbia Funds mutual fund families, which are administered and advised by certain affiliates of the Corporation. The affiliates are Marsico Capital Management, LLC (MCM), and Columbia Management Advisors (CMA), which are all part of the Columbia Management Group, the primary asset management division of the Corporation. The other investment alternatives are primarily invested in (i) mutual funds that are not administered or advised by affiliates of the Corporation, (ii) the Corporations common stock, or (iii) in the case of the Stable Capital Fund, a separately managed account that is managed by an unaffiliated investment advisor, Standish Mellon Asset Management Company, LLC. Effective December 14, 2007, MCM is no longer an affiliate.

* Investment was below 5% of the Plans net assets at year end.
4. | Risks and Uncertainties |
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
5. | Investment Contracts |
The terms of the majority of the contracts are benefit responsive, providing a guarantee by the issuer to pay principal plus accrued interest in response to benefit-related requests for payment. The average yield and crediting interest rates for such investments were 4.28% and 4.16%, respectively, for 2008 and 4.86% and 4.98%, respectively, for 2007. The average yield credited to participants was 4.22% for 2008 and 4.80% for 2007. The fair market values of these investment contracts reported in aggregate for the Stable

Asset Fund were $1,106,429,667 and $823,314,081 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Stable Asset Fund contains Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs), Fixed Maturity Synthetic GICs, and Constant Duration Synthetic GICs. These are described below.
Guaranteed Investment Contracts
Traditional GICs are unsecured, general account obligations of insurance companies. The obligation is backed by the general account assets of the insurance company that writes the investment contract. The crediting rate on this product is typically fixed for the life of the investment.
Separate account GICs are investments in a segregated account of assets maintained by an insurance company for the benefit of the investors. The total return of the segregated account assets supports the separate account GICs return. The credited rate on this product will reset periodically and it will have an interest rate of not less than 0%.
Fair values of GICs are calculated using the present value of the contracts future cash flow values discounted by comparable duration Wall Street Journal GIC Index rates.
Fixed Maturity Synthetic Guaranteed Investment Contracts
General fixed maturity synthetic GICs consist of an asset or collection of assets that are owned by the fund (or plan) and a benefit responsive, book value wrap contract purchased for the portfolio. The wrap contract provides book value accounting for the asset and assures that book value, benefit responsive payments will be made for participant directed withdrawals. The crediting rate of the contract is set at the start of the contract and typically resets every quarter. Generally, Fixed Maturity Synthetics are held to maturity. The initial crediting rate is established based on the market interest rates at the time the initial asset is purchased and it will have an interest crediting rate not less than 0%.
Fair values of general fixed maturity synthetic GICs are calculated using the sum of all assets market values provided by FT Interactive, a third party vendor Standish Mellon has engaged to provide fixed income prices on a monthly basis.
Variable synthetic GICs consist of an asset or collection of assets that are managed by the bank or insurance company and are held in a bankruptcy remote vehicle for the benefit of the fund (or plan). The contract is benefit responsive and provides next day liquidity at book value. The crediting rate on this product resets every quarter based on

the then current market index rates and an investment spread. The investment spread is established at time of issuance and is guaranteed by the issuer for the life of the investment.
Fair values for variable synthetic GICs are calculated using the present value of the contracts future cash flow values discounted by comparable swap rates.
Constant Duration Synthetic Guaranteed Investment Contracts
Constant duration synthetic GICs consist of a portfolio of securities owned by the fund (or plan) and a benefit responsive, book value wrap contract purchased for the portfolio. The wrap contract amortizes gains and losses of the underlying securities over the portfolio duration, and assures that book value, benefit responsive payments will be made for participant directed withdrawals. The crediting rate on a constant duration synthetic GIC resets every quarter based on the book value of the contract, the market yield of the underlying assets, the market value of the underlying assets and the average duration of the underlying assets. The crediting rate aims at converging the book value of the contract and the market value of the underlying portfolio over the duration of the contract and therefore will be affected by movements in interest rates and/or changes in the market value of the underlying portfolio. The initial crediting rate is established based on the market interest rates at the time the underlying portfolio is first put together and it will have an interest crediting rate of not less than 0%.
Fair values for constant duration synthetic GICs are calculated using the market values provided by the external investment managers Standish Mellon or its clients have engaged to provide investment services.
In the absence of an actively traded market, discounted cash flows are only an estimate of the contracts economic value. These values are not a useful value for participant statement purposes nor are they representative of the value that may be received from those contracts in either a participant disbursement or an early termination of the contract.
It is probable that withdrawals and transfers resulting from the following events will limit the ability of the fund to transact at book or contract value. Instead, market value will likely be used in determining the payouts to the participants:
| Employer- initiated events events within the control of the plan or the plan sponsor which would have a material and adverse impact on the Fund; |
| Employer communications designed to induce participants to transfer from the fund; |

6. | Fair Value Measurements |
On January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1 |
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access. | |
Level 2 |
Inputs to the valuation methodology include: | |
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | ||
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; | ||
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and | ||
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | ||
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | ||
Level 3 |
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The assets or liabilitys fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.
Mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the Plan at year end.
Common and collective trusts valued based on the closing market price reported on the active market on which the underlying investments are traded.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007
6. | Fair Value Measurements (Continued) |
Common stocks are valued at closing market price reported on the active market on which the securities are traded.
Investment contracts, including wrap contracts, which are comprised of fixed maturity synthetic GIC, constant duration synthetic GIC and traditional GIC are valued using the present value of the contracts future cash flow values discounted by comparable duration Wall Street Journal GIC Index rates. (See Note 5: Investment Contracts)
In relation to our GIC contracts, principal protection is purchased from the issuer in the form of a wrap. These wraps are valued based on an internal pricing matrix which uses an income approach to determine the present value of the fee payments related to the contract, using both current contractual fees as well as replacement fees generated by matrix pricing. (See Note 5: Investment Contracts).
Participant loans, money market funds and interest bearing cash are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated August 8, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. The Plan has been amended since receiving a determination letter but the Committee believes that the Plan continues to qualify as a tax-exempt defined contribution plan, and the Committee is not aware of any course of action or series of events that has occurred that might adversely affect the Plans qualified status. The Plan Sponsor intends to request an updated determination letter during the Plans current determination letter filing cycle.

The Plan is the successor in interest to the MBNA Corporation 401(k) Plus Savings Plan (MBNA Plan), which merged with and into the Plan effective December 31, 2006. On June 24, 2005, three former employees of MBNA Corporation (MBNA) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against MBNA, MBNAs Pension and 401(k) Plan Committee, and certain directors and officers of MBNA. The lawsuit was a purported class action brought on behalf of participants in the MBNA Plan and alleging breaches of fiduciary duties under ERISA related to certain Plan investments in MBNA Corporation Common Stock. On September 10, 2008, the named parties reached an agreement settling the litigation, and on March 27, 2009, the District Court issued an order approving that settlement. The time to appeal the District Courts order has now expired.
