PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Forward-Looking Statements
Wachovia Corporation (formerly named First Union Corporation, Wachovia) may from time to time
make written or oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in Wachovias
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
and the Exhibits hereto), in its reports to stockholders and in other Wachovia communications.
These statements relate to future, not past, events.
These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements with respect to Wachovias
beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, financial condition, results of
operations, future performance and business, including without limitation, (i) statements relating
to the benefits of the merger between Wachovia and Golden West Financial Corporation (the Golden
West Merger) completed on October 1, 2006, including future financial and operating results, cost
savings, enhanced revenues and the accretion or dilution to reported earnings that may be realized
from the Golden West Merger, (ii) statements relating to the benefits of the pending merger between
Wachovia and A.G. Edwards, Inc. (the A.G. Edwards Merger and together with the Golden West
Merger, the Mergers), announced on May 31, 2007, including future financial and operating
results, cost savings, enhanced revenues and the accretion or dilution to reported earnings that
may be realized from the A.G. Edwards Merger, (iii) statements regarding Wachovias goals and
expectations with respect to earnings, earnings per share, revenue, expenses and the growth rate in
such items, as well as other measures of economic performance, including statements relating to
estimates of credit quality trends, and (iv) statements preceded by, followed by or that include
the words may, could, should, would, believe, anticipate, estimate, expect,
intend, plan, projects, outlook or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements
are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of Wachovias management and are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors (many of
which are beyond Wachovias control). Actual results may differ from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause Wachovias financial performance to differ
materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statements: (1) the risk that the businesses
of Wachovia and Golden West in connection with the Golden West Merger or the businesses of Wachovia
and A.G. Edwards in connection with the A.G. Edwards Merger will not be integrated successfully or
such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (2) expected
revenue synergies and cost savings from the Mergers may not be fully realized or realized within
the expected time frame; (3) revenues following the Mergers may be lower than expected; (4) deposit
attrition, operating costs, customer loss and business disruption following the Mergers, including,
without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, may be greater than
expected; (5) the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local
economies in which Wachovia conducts operations may be different than expected, resulting in, among
other things, a deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit, including the
resultant effect on Wachovias loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses; (6) the effects of,
and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (7) inflation, interest rate, market and
monetary fluctuations; (8) adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other
capital markets (including changes in interest rate conditions) and the impact of such conditions
on Wachovias capital markets and capital management activities, including, without limitation,
Wachovias mergers and acquisition advisory business, equity and debt underwriting activities,
private equity investment activities, derivative securities activities, investment and wealth
management advisory businesses, and brokerage activities; (9) the timely development of competitive
new products and services by Wachovia and the acceptance of these products and services by new and
existing customers; (10) the willingness of customers to accept third party products marketed by
Wachovia; (11) the willingness of customers to substitute competitors products and services for
Wachovias products and services and vice versa; (12) the impact of changes in financial services
laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); (13)
technological changes; (14) changes in consumer spending and saving habits; (15) the effect of
corporate restructurings, acquisitions and/or dispositions we may undertake from time to time,
and the actual restructuring and other expenses related thereto, and the failure to achieve the
expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such corporate restructurings, acquisitions
and/or dispositions; (16) the growth and profitability of Wachovias noninterest or fee income
being less than expected; (17) unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings or rulings; (18)
the impact of changes in accounting principles; (19) adverse changes in financial performance
and/or condition of Wachovias borrowers which could impact repayment of such borrowers
outstanding loans; (20) the impact on Wachovias
businesses, as well as on the risks set forth
above, of various domestic or international military or terrorist activities or conflicts; and (21)
Wachovias success at managing the risks involved in the
foregoing.
Wachovia cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. Wachovia does not
undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from
time to time by or on behalf of Wachovia.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of June 30, 2007, the end of the period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Wachovias management, including Wachovias Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
Based upon that evaluation, Wachovias Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each
concluded that as of June 30, 2007, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, Wachovia maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. No change in our internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007, that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, Wachovias internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Wachovia and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and
arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising from the conduct of our business activities.
These proceedings include actions brought against Wachovia and/or its subsidiaries with respect to
transactions in which Wachovia and/or our subsidiaries acted as banker, lender, underwriter,
financial advisor or broker or in activities related thereto. In addition, Wachovia and its
subsidiaries may be requested to provide information or otherwise cooperate with governmental
authorities in the conduct of investigations of other persons or industry groups. It is Wachovias
policy to cooperate in all regulatory inquiries and investigations.
Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, Wachovia and/or our
subsidiaries have generally denied, or believe we have a meritorious defense and will deny,
liability in all significant litigation pending against us, including the matters described below,
and we intend to defend vigorously each such case. Reserves are established for legal claims when
payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The
actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts
reserved for those claims.
The following supplements certain matters previously reported in Wachovias Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Wachovias Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended March 31, 2007.
Adelphia Litigation. Certain Wachovia affiliates are defendants in an adversary proceeding
previously pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
related to the bankruptcy of Adelphia Communications Corporation (Adelphia). In February 2006,
an order was entered moving the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York. The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Adelphias bankruptcy case has filed
claims on behalf of Adelphia against over 300 financial services companies, including the Wachovia
affiliates. The complaint asserts claims against the defendants under state law, bankruptcy law
and the Bank Holding Company Act and seeks equitable relief and an unspecified amount of
compensatory and punitive damages. The Official Committee of Equity Security Holders has sought
leave to intervene in that complaint and sought leave to bring additional claims against certain of
the financial services companies, including the Wachovia affiliates, including additional federal
and state claims. On August 30, 2005, the bankruptcy court granted the creditors committee and
the equity holders committee standing to proceed with their claims. On June 11, 2007, the court
granted in part and denied in part the motions to dismiss filed by Wachovia and other defendants.
On July 11, 2007, Wachovia and other defendants requested leave to appeal the partial denial of the
motions to dismiss.
Outlook. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance
coverage and established reserves, Wachovia believes that the eventual outcome of the actions
against Wachovia and/or its subsidiaries, including the matters described above, will not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Wachovias consolidated
financial position or results of operations. However, in the event of unexpected future
developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of those matters, if unfavorable, may be
material to Wachovias results of operations for any particular period.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Not Applicable.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.
In January 2004, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of 60 million shares of our
common stock, which together with remaining authority from previous board authorizations in 1999
and 2000, permitted Wachovia to
repurchase up to 123 million shares of our common stock as of
January 15, 2004, the date that authorization was announced. In addition, on August 16, 2005,
Wachovia announced that our board of directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 100
million shares of our common stock. Future stock repurchases may be private or open-market
purchases, including block transactions, accelerated or delayed block transactions, forward
transactions, collar transactions, and similar transactions. The amount and timing of stock
repurchases will be based on various factors, such as managements assessment of Wachovias capital
structure and liquidity, the market price of Wachovia common stock compared to managements
assessment of the stocks underlying value, and applicable regulatory, legal and accounting
factors. In 2006, Wachovia repurchased 82 million shares of Wachovia common stock, all but 3.3
million of such repurchases were in the open market, at an average cost of $54.96 per share.
Please see Stockholders Equity in the Financial Supplement, filed as Exhibit (19) to this
Report, for additional information about Wachovias share repurchases in the second quarter of
2007. The following table sets forth information about our stock repurchases for the three months
ended June 30, 2007.

applicable stock option plan and not pursuant to publicly announced share repurchase programs. For
the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the following shares of Wachovia common stock were surrendered by
