Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

During the third quarter of 2006, Merrill Lynch completed the merger
of its Merrill Lynch Investment Managers business with BlackRock,
Inc.
Merrill Lynch recognized a gain associated with this merger along with
other non-recurring expenses, collectively "Impact of BlackRock
Merger".

Management believes that while the results excluding the impact of the
BlackRock merger are considered non-GAAP measures, they depict the
operating performance of the company more clearly and enable more
appropriate period-to-period comparisons.

Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. Attachment IV


Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Merrill Lynch adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123 (as revised in 2004) for stock-based employee compensation during
the first quarter of 2006. Additionally, as a result of a
comprehensive review of the retirement provisions in its stock-based
compensation plans, Merrill Lynch also modified the retirement
eligibility requirements of existing stock awards in order to
facilitate transition to more stringent retirement eligibility
requirements for future stock awards. These modifications and the
adoption of the new accounting standard required Merrill Lynch to
accelerate the recognition of compensation expenses for affected
stock awards, resulting in the "one-time compensation expenses."
These changes represent timing differences and are not economic in
substance.

During the third quarter of 2006, Merrill Lynch completed the merger
of its Merrill Lynch Investment Managers business with BlackRock,
Inc.
Merrill Lynch recognized a gain associated with this merger along with
other non-recurring expenses, collectively "Impact of BlackRock
Merger".

Management believes that while the results excluding these one-time
compensation expenses and the impact of the BlackRock merger are
considered non-GAAP measures, they depict the operating performance
of the company more clearly and enable more appropriate period-to-
period comparisons.
