REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Plan Participants and the Corporate Benefits Committee of
The Bank of America 401(k) Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Bank of America 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010. 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, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010 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, 2010 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.

The Bank of America 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
1. | Description of the Plan |
The following description of The Bank of America 401(k) Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Associate Handbook and any supplements thereto for a more complete description of applicable Plan provisions. Other Plan provisions may also apply to participants from predecessor plans assumed by Bank of America Corporation (the Corporation) and merged into the Plan.
Plan Sponsor and Participating Employers
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 for employees of the Corporation and participating subsidiaries. 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
The Plan provides participants with a total of 27 investment alternatives as of December 31, 2010. Effective January 1, 2010, all assets of the LifePath Index 2010 Fund transferred to the LifePath Index Retirement Fund. Participants accounts invested in units of the LifePath Index 2010 Fund were automatically converted to holdings in the LifePath Index Retirement Fund. At that time, the LifePath Index 2010 Fund ceased to exist. Also effective July 30, 2010, the Plan began offering the LifePath Index 2055 Fund. Additional investment alternatives include 8 other LifePath Index Funds, 15 mutual funds, a Stable Value Fund and the Bank of America Corporation Common Stock Fund (invests primarily in the Corporations common stock).

1. | Description of the Plan (Continued) |
Investment Alternatives (Continued)
Participants may elect to modify existing investment allocations on a periodic basis subject to the provisions of the Plan.
The Plan also includes a Segregated Fund that is not available for additional participant investments. The Segregated Fund consists of the segregated investments and accounts of certain participants of the former NationsBank Texas Plan.
Plan Trustee
Bank of America, N.A. (BANA) 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, 2010 annual pre-tax contributions were limited to $16,500 for participants who are below age 50. Additional 2010 contributions of $5,500 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. 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.
Employer contributions include forfeitures and additional contributions which are made in the form of cash. After consideration of forfeitures, the actual cash remitted by the Corporation was $307,446,161 for 2010.
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 (IRC), 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 |

Payment of Benefits (Continued)
(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 (the Pension Plan) if their vested cash balance account in the Pension Plan and account balance in this Plan both 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 the participants 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 to them in cash or reinvested in the Plan. Interest on participant loans is credited to the accounts of the participant making the payment.
Participant Notes Receivable
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, the Pension Plan or The Bank of America Transferred Savings Account Plan (TSA Plan) or (ii) if greater, the highest outstanding balance of any other loan from the Plan, the Pension Plan or the TSA 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, the Pension Plan or the TSA Plan.

1. | Description of the Plan (Continued) |
Participant Notes Receivable (Continued)
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 4.25% to 11.50% for loans held by the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
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.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In January 2010, Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06), expanded the required disclosures about fair value measurements (see Note 6: Fair Value Measurements). ASU 2010-06 requires (i) separate disclosure of significant transfers into and out of level 1 and level 2, along with reasons for such transfers; (ii) separate presentation of gross purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the level 3 reconciliation; and (iii) presentation of fair value disclosures by nature and risk class for all fair value assets and liabilities. The requirements of ASU 2010-06 are effective for the current reporting period except for the level 3 reconciliation disaggregation which is required in 2011 reporting. The Plans financial statements are presented to conform to the requirements of ASU 2010-06.
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.

The Bank of America 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
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.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (see Note 6: Fair Value Measurements).
Benefit responsive investment contracts are stated at fair value and are adjusted to contract value (which represent contributions made under the contract, plus interest less withdrawals and administration expenses) on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits (see Note 5: Interest in the Stable Value Master Trust). As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position 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, which was codified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 962-205-45, 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. The Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present 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.
Realized gains (losses) on investment transactions are recorded as the difference between proceeds received and cost. Cost is determined on the 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
Participant Notes Receivable
Participant notes receivable are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document.
Plan Expenses
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.
Subsequent Events
In preparing the financial statements, transactions and events were evaluated for potential recognition. It was determined that there are no subsequent transactions that require disclosure to or adjustment in the financial statements.
Reclassifications
In September, 2010, ASU 2010-25, Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans, clarified the classification and measurement of the participant loans by defined contribution plans. ASU 2010-25 provided that in defined contribution plans financial statements, participant loans should be classified as notes receivable from the participants, which are segregated from plan investments and measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Additionally, participant loans are exempt from (i) the disclosure requirements about fair value in paragraphs 825-10-50-10 through 50-16 of the ASC and (ii) credit quality disclosures required by the amendments in ASU 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.
The Plan reclassified participant loans to participant notes receivable totaling $156,851,309 and $132,794,323 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Net assets of the Plan were not affected by the reclassification.

Investments as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 that represent 5% or more of the Plans net assets available for benefits include the following:

1,727,742,752 | 1,714,123,574 |
* | 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. | Interest in the Stable Value Master Trust |
A portion of the Plans investments is in the Stable Value Master Trust (Master Trust). The Master Trust was established on January 1, 2009 to provide a single collective investment vehicle for the Stable Value Fund investment option of the Plan, The Bank of America 401(k) Plan for Legacy Companies, and the TSA Plan, and effective December 3, 2010, the Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. 401(k) Savings & Investment Plan and the Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. Retirement Accumulation Plan (collectively known as Participating Plans). The assets of the Master Trust are held by BANA, as Trustee, and the portfolio is managed by an unaffiliated investment advisor, The Dreyfus Corporation, a unit of BNY Mellon.
Each Participating Plan owns an undivided interest in the Master Trust.
The terms of the underlying investment contracts in the Stable Value Fund are benefit responsive, providing a guarantee by the issuer to pay principal plus accrued interest in response to benefit-related requests for payment.

5. | Interest in the Stable Value Master Trust (Continued) |
The value of the Plans interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning value of the Plans interest in the Master Trust plus actual contributions and allocated investment income less actual distributions and allocated administrative expenses.
The fair market value of the investment contracts reported in the aggregate for the Master Trust was $3,661,075,833 and $3,335,714,669 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Plan had an undivided interest of 48.42% and 52.12% in the following assets of the Master Trust as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

5. | Interest in the Stable Value Master Trust (Continued) |
The Stable Value Fund generally consists of the following types of guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) 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.
Fair values of traditional GICs are calculated using the present value of the contracts future cash flow values discounted by comparable duration Wall Street Journal GIC Index rates.
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 crediting rate on this product will reset periodically and it will have an interest rate of not less than 0%.
Fair values of separate account GICs are calculated using the market value provided by the insurance companies that manage the underlying assets of the product.
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 Interactive Data Services, a third party vendor BNY Mellon has engaged to provide fixed income prices on a monthly basis.
Variable Synthetic Guaranteed Investment Contracts
Variable synthetic GICs consist of an asset or collection of assets that are managed by a 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 current market index rates at that time 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 BNY 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; |
| Competing fund transfer or violation of equity wash or equivalent rules in place; |
| Changes of qualification status of the plan. |

5. | Interest in the Stable Value Master Trust (Continued) |
In general, issuers may terminate the contract and settle at other than contract value if the qualification status of employer or plan changes, breach of material obligations under the contract and misrepresentation by the contract holder, or failure of the underlying portfolio to conform to the pre-established investment guidelines.
All contracts are benefit responsive unless otherwise noted.
6. | Fair Value Measurements |
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides the 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 ASC 820 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.

6. | Fair Value Measurements (Continued) |
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Money market funds and interest bearing cash are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
U.S. government and government agency obligations, common and preferred stocks, corporate debt, and real estate investment trusts (classified under Other investments) are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the securities are traded.
Asset-backed securities are valued using the external broker bids, where available.
Mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end.
Collective investment funds are valued based on the closing market price reported on the active market on which the underlying investments are traded.
Common stocks are valued at the closing market price reported on the active market on which the securities are traded.
Investment contracts, including wrap contracts, held in the Master Trust which are comprised of fixed maturity synthetic GIC, constant duration synthetic GIC, variable rate 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. In relation to Master Trust 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: Interest in the Stable Value Master Trust).
Limited partnerships (classified under Other investments) are generally valued based on the closing market price reported on the active market on which the underlying investments are traded and current appraisals.
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 management believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the

Benefit obligations payable and related benefits paid are recorded on Form 5500 for those claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31 but not yet paid as of that date. For financial statement purposes, such amounts are not recorded until paid.
11. | Federal Income Tax Status |
On June 9, 2008, the Plan Sponsor was informed by a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that the Plan was designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. This determination letter covers certain prior amendments to and restatements of the Plan. In January of 2010, the Plan Sponsor filed for an updated determination letter. The application is currently pending review by the IRS.
The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
Under present federal income tax laws, a participating employee will not be subject to federal income taxes on the contributions by the employer, or on the interest, dividends or profits on the sale of investments received by the trustee, until the participating employees account is distributed.
GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The tax positions taken by the Plan have been analyzed and, as of December 31, 2010, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2007.
12. | Litigation |
The Plan is the subject of litigation involving certain participants voluntary transfer of Plan assets to the Pension Plan and whether such transfers were in accordance with applicable law. The outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted at this time.

The Plan was the subject of litigation involving alleged market timing arrangements in certain Nations Funds mutual funds in which the Plan was invested. In December 2005, the Corporation and other named defendants in the litigation entered into a settlement that among other things, was contingent upon a minimum threshold amount being received by the Nations Funds shareholders and/or the Nations Funds mutual funds from a previously established regulatory settlement fund. The settlement was approved by the court on October 21, 2010 and the matter is now resolved.
The Plan is the subject of litigation alleging certain ERISA violations related to fees and expenses related to (i) investments by the Plan, the Pension Plan, and their respective predecessor plans in investment funds offered or managed by Corporation subsidiaries or affiliates and (ii) the use of Corporation subsidiaries or affiliates in other matters of plan administration and investment.
