Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. Certain items in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report of Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the Corporation) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The Corporation elected not to delay the application of SFAS 157 to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, as allowed by FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and, therefore, does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS 157 requires fair value measurements to be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. For assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, it is the Corporation’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy in SFAS 157.

Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon estimates, are often calculated based on the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values. The initial adoption of SFAS No. 157 resulted in a reduction to noninterest income of approximately $3 million. Refer to Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures.

Loan Origination Fees and Costs

On January 1, 2008, the Corporation prospectively implemented a refinement in the application of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91, “Accounting for Loan Origination Fees and Costs,” (SFAS 91), which resulted in the deferral and amortization to net interest income of substantially all loan origination fees and costs (over the loan life). Prior to January 1, 2008, the Corporation deferred and amortized business loan origination and commitment fees greater than $10 thousand and all Small Business Administration loan, residential mortgage and consumer loan origination fees and costs (over the loan life). The impact of the refinement for the six months ended June 30, 2008 results was a reduction in net interest income of $7 million, a reduction in the net interest margin of two basis points, a reduction in noninterest expenses of $23 million and an increase in net income of $10 million ($0.07 per diluted share). The adjustments which would have been required to retroactively apply the refinement of SFAS 91 were not material to any prior reporting periods.

Note 2 — Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities and any noncontrolling interest acquired due to a business combination. Under SFAS 141(R) the entity that acquires the business (whether in a full or partial acquisition) may recognize only the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at fair value. As such, an acquirer will not be permitted to recognize any allowance for loan losses of the acquiree, if applicable. SFAS 141(R) requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual. Under SFAS 141(R), acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed as incurred rather than treated as part of the acquisition cost and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, the Corporation will apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R) for acquisitions completed after December 31, 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51,” (SFAS 160), which defines noncontrolling interest as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent. SFAS 160 requires the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (previously referred to as minority interest) to be clearly presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to any noncontrolling interest must be clearly presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. Changes in the parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest (greater than 50 percent ownership) are to be accounted for as equity transactions. Upon a loss of control, any gain or loss on the interest sold will be recognized in earnings. Additionally, any ownership interest retained will be remeasured at fair value on the date control is lost, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, the Corporation will adopt the provisions of SFAS 160 in the first quarter 2009. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of the provisions of SFAS 160 to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (SFAS 133). SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires (1) qualitative disclosures about objectives for using derivatives by primary underlying risk exposure (e.g., interest rate, credit or foreign exchange rate) and by purpose or strategy (fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, net investment hedge, and non-hedges), (2) information about the volume of derivative activity in a flexible format that the preparer believes is the most relevant and practicable, (3) tabular disclosures about balance sheet location and gross fair value amounts of derivative instruments, income statement and other comprehensive income location of gain and loss amounts on derivative instruments by type of contract, and (4) disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Accordingly, the Corporation will adopt the provisions of SFAS 161 in the first quarter 2009. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of the provisions of SFAS 161 to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Corporation does not expect the adoption of the provisions of SFAS 162 to have any impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

At June 30, 2008, the Corporation had 166 securities in an unrealized loss position, including 164 government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities (i.e., FMNA, FHLMC). The unrealized losses resulted from changes in market interest rates, not credit quality. The Corporation has the ability and intent to hold these available-for-sale investment securities until maturity or market price recovery, and full collection of the amounts due according to the contractual terms of the debt is expected; therefore, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008, investment securities having a carrying value of $2.9 billion were pledged where permitted or required by law to secure $1.0 billion of liabilities, including public and other deposits, and derivative instruments. This included securities of $1.4 billion pledged with the Federal Reserve Bank to secure potential treasury tax and loan borrowings of up to $1.4 billion. The remaining pledged securities of $1.5 billion were primarily with state and local government agencies to secure $1.0 billion of deposits and other liabilities, including deposits of the State of Michigan of $268 million at June 30, 2008.

Note 4 — Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)

A loan is impaired when it is probable that interest and principal payments will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Consistent with this definition, all nonaccrual and reduced-rate loans are impaired. Impaired loans that are restructured and meet the requirements to be on accrual status are included with total impaired loans for the remainder of the calendar year of the restructuring. There were no loans included in the $731 million of impaired loans at June 30, 2008 that were restructured and met the requirements to be on accrual status. Impaired loans averaged $627 million and $549 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $225 million and $220 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The following presents information regarding the period-end balances of impaired loans:


	Six Months Ended		Year Ended
(in millions)	June 30, 2008		December 31, 2007


Total period-end nonaccrual loans	$	731	$	387
Plus: Total period-end reduced-rate loans		—		13
Impaired loans restructured during the period on accrual status at period-end		—		4

Total period-end impaired loans	$	731	$	404

Period-end impaired loans requiring an allowance	$	695	$	356

Allowance allocated to impaired loans	$	104	$	85

A specific portion of the allowance may be allocated to significant individually impaired loans. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceeded the recorded investments in such loans.

In February 2008, Comerica Bank (the Bank), a subsidiary of the Corporation, became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, Texas (FHLB), which provides short- and long-term funding collateralized by mortgage-related assets to its members. FHLB advances were secured by real estate-related loans and bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR. The Bank used the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Note 6 — Income Taxes and Tax-Related Items

The provision for income taxes is computed by applying statutory federal income tax rates to income before income taxes as reported in the consolidated financial statements after deducting non-taxable items, principally income on bank-owned life insurance, and deducting tax credits related to investments in low income housing partnerships. State and foreign taxes are then added to the federal tax provision.

During the second quarter 2008, several tax-related court decisions involving other financial institutions were announced on certain structured leasing transactions, which caused the Corporation to reassess its position on similar transactions. As a result, the interest on tax liabilities from these transactions was increased $20 million ($13 million after-tax). In addition, the Corporation recorded an after-tax charge of $19 million to interest income to reflect the projected change in the timing of income tax cash flows on these transactions, which was caused by a reassessment of the likely resolution with the taxing authority. The charge was taken in accordance with FSP 13-2 “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction” and will fully reverse over the next 20 years.

The Corporation adopted the provision of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB No. 109, (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. Unrecognized tax benefits were $93 million and $83 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and accrued interest was $105 million and $75 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into certain transactions that have tax consequences. From time to time, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) questions and/or challenges the tax position taken by the Corporation with respect to those transactions. The Corporation engaged in certain types of structured leasing transactions that the IRS disallowed in its examination of the Corporation’s federal tax returns for the years 1996 through 2000 (see related discussion above). The IRS also disallowed foreign tax credits associated with the interest on a series of loans to foreign borrowers. The Corporation has had ongoing discussions with the IRS Appeals Office related to the disallowance of the foreign tax credits associated with the loans and adjusted tax and related interest reserves based on settlements discussed. Also, the Corporation has had discussions with various state tax authorities regarding prior year tax filings. The Corporation anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the structured leasing transactions, foreign tax credits and state tax return issues will be settled within the next 12 months, resulting in additional payments of approximately $166 million, which are included in the unrecognized tax benefits ($93 million) and accrued interest ($105 million) described above.

Based on current knowledge and probability assessment of various potential outcomes, the Corporation believes that current tax reserves, determined in accordance with FIN 48, are adequate to cover the matters outlined above, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Probabilities and outcomes are reviewed as events unfold, and adjustments to the reserves are made when necessary.

The Corporation believes that its tax returns were filed based upon applicable statutes, regulations and case law in effect at the time of the transactions. The Corporation intends to defend its positions taken in those returns in accordance with its view of the law controlling these activities. However, as noted above, the IRS examination team, an administrative authority or a court, if presented with the transactions, could disagree with the Corporation’s interpretation of the tax law. After evaluating the risks and opportunities, the best outcome may result in a settlement. The ultimate outcome for each position is not known.

Note 7 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) includes the change in net unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available-for-sale, the change in accumulated net gains and losses on cash flow hedges and the change in the accumulated defined benefit and other postretirement plans adjustment. The Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity on page 5 include only combined other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The following table presents reconciliations of the components of the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Total comprehensive income totaled $135 million and $402 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The $267 million decrease in total comprehensive income in the six months

(1)		Notional or contract amounts, which represent the extent of involvement in the derivatives market, are used to determine the contractual cash flows required in accordance with the terms of the agreement. These amounts are typically not exchanged, significantly exceed amounts subject to credit or market risk, and are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

(2)		Unrealized gains represent receivables from derivative counterparties, and therefore expose the Corporation to credit risk. Credit risk, which excludes the effects of any collateral or netting arrangements, is measured as the cost to replace, at current market rates, contracts in a profitable position.

(3)		The fair values of derivative instruments represent the estimated amounts the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate or otherwise settle the contracts at the balance sheet date. The fair values of all derivative instruments are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 10 — Derivative Instruments (continued)

Risk Management

Fluctuations in net interest income due to interest rate risk result from the composition of assets and liabilities and the mismatches in the timing of the repricing of these assets and liabilities. In addition, external factors such as interest rates and the dynamics of yield curve and spread relationships can affect net interest income. The Corporation utilizes simulation analyses to project the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates. Cash instruments, such as investment securities, as well as derivative instruments, are employed to manage exposure to these and other risks, including liquidity risk.

The following table presents net hedge ineffectiveness gains (losses) by risk management hedge type:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30				June 30
(dollar amounts in millions)	2008		2007		2008		2007

Cash flow hedges	$	—	$	2	$	—	$	2
Fair value hedges		4		—		5		—
Foreign currency hedges		—		—		—		—

Total	$	4	$	2	$	5	$	2

As an end-user, the Corporation employs a variety of financial instruments for risk management purposes. As part of a fair value hedging strategy, the Corporation has entered into interest rate swap agreements for interest rate risk management purposes. These interest rate swap agreements effectively modify exposure to interest rate risk by converting fixed-rate deposits and debt to a floating rate. These agreements involve the receipt of fixed rate interest amounts in exchange for floating rate interest payments over the life of the agreement, without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

As part of a cash flow hedging strategy, the Corporation entered into predominantly three-year interest rate swap agreements (weighted-average original maturity of 3.0 years) that effectively convert a portion of its existing and forecasted floating-rate loans to a fixed-rate basis, which will reduce the impact of interest rate changes on future interest income over the life of the agreements (currently over the next four months). Approximately two percent ($1.2 billion) of outstanding loans were designated as hedged items to interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2008. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges increased interest and fees on loans by $10 million and $15 million, respectively, compared to decreases of $21 million and $45 million, respectively, for the comparable periods last year. If interest rates, interest yield curves and notional amounts remain at current levels, the Corporation expects to reclassify $2 million of net gains, net of tax, on derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next four months due to receipt of variable interest associated with existing and forecasted floating-rate loans.

Management believes these strategies achieve the desired relationship between the rate maturities of assets and funding sources which, in turn, reduces the overall exposure of net interest income to interest rate risk, although there can be no assurance that such strategies will be successful. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from changes in the value of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Corporation employs cash instruments, such as investment securities, as well as various types of derivative instruments, to manage exposure to these and other risks. Such derivative instruments, which are reflected in the table on page 17, may include interest rate caps and floors, foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign exchange option contracts and foreign exchange cross-currency swaps.

Note 10 — Derivative Instruments (continued)

Customer-Initiated and Other

Fee income is earned from entering into various transactions, principally foreign exchange contracts, interest rate contracts, and energy derivative contracts at the request of customers. The Corporation mitigates market risk inherent in customer-initiated interest rate and energy contracts by taking offsetting positions, except in those circumstances when the amount, tenor and/or contracted rate level results in negligible economic risk, whereby the cost of purchasing an offsetting contract is not economically justifiable. For customer-initiated foreign exchange contracts, the Corporation mitigates most of the inherent market risk by taking offsetting positions and manages the remainder through individual foreign currency position limits and aggregate value-at-risk limits. These limits are established annually and reviewed quarterly.

For those customer-initiated derivative contracts which were not offset or where the Corporation holds a speculative position within the limits described above, the Corporation recognized less than $0.5 million of net gains in both the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and $1 million and less than $0.5 million net of net gains in the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which were included in “other noninterest income” in the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of derivative instruments held or issued in connection with customer-initiated activities, including those customer-initiated derivative contracts where the Corporation does not enter into an offsetting derivative contract position, is included in the table on page 17.

Fair values for customer-initiated and other derivative instruments represent the net unrealized gains or losses on such contracts and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated income statements. The following table provides the average unrealized gains and losses, and noninterest income generated on customer-initiated and other interest rate contracts, energy derivative contracts and foreign exchange contracts.


	Six Months Ended		Year Ended		Six Months Ended
(in millions)	June 30, 2008		December 31, 2007		June 30, 2007

Average unrealized gains	$	433	$	137	$	106
Average unrealized losses		390		120		91
Noninterest income		32		50		22

Additional information regarding the nature, terms and associated risks of derivative instruments can be found in the Corporation’s 2007 Annual Report on page 56 and in Notes 1 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 11 — Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees

The total contractual amounts of standby letters of credit and financial guarantees and commercial letters of credit at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, which represents the Corporation’s credit risk associated with these instruments, are shown in the table below.


(in millions)	June 30, 2008		December 31, 2007

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees	$	7,089	$	6,900
Commercial letters of credit		224		234

Standby and commercial letters of credit and financial guarantees represent conditional obligations of the Corporation, which guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. These contracts expire in decreasing amounts through the year 2018. Commercial letters of credit are issued to finance foreign or domestic trade transactions and are short-term in nature. The Corporation may enter into participation arrangements with third parties, which effectively reduce the maximum amount of future payments which may be required under standby letters of credit. These risk participations covered $638 million of the $7,089 million of standby letters of credit and financial guarantees outstanding at June 30, 2008. The carrying value of the Corporation’s standby and commercial letters of credit and financial guarantees, which is included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet, totaled $88 million and $100 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Note 12 — Contingent Liabilities

Legal Proceedings

The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, the Corporation cannot state what the eventual outcome of these matters will be. However, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes that current reserves, determined in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (SFAS 5), are adequate, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. For information regarding income tax contingencies, refer to Note 6 on page 13.

Note 13 — Fair Value

The Corporation utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale, trading securities and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Corporation may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Under SFAS 157, the Corporation groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

	Level 1		Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

	Level 2		Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

	Level 3		Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include securities in less liquid markets.

Trading Securities and Associated Liabilities

Securities held for trading purposes are recorded at fair value and included in “other short-term investments” on the consolidated balance sheets. Securities held for trading purposes include assets related to employee deferred compensation plans. The assets associated with these plans are invested in mutual funds and classified as Level 1. Deferred compensation liabilities, also classified as Level 1, are carried at the fair value of the obligation to the employee, which corresponds to the fair value of the invested assets. The valuation method for trading securities is the same as the method used for securities classified as available-for-sale, discussed above.

Note 13 — Fair Value (continued)

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale, included in “other short-term investments” on the consolidated balance sheets, are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Corporation classifies loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.

Loans

The Corporation does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” (SFAS 114). The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2008, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Corporation records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Corporation records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Substantially all derivative instruments held or issued by the Corporation for risk management or customer-initiated activities are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, the Corporation measures fair value using internally developed models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities, and include the value associated with counterparty credit risk. The Corporation classifies derivatives instruments held or issued for risk management or customer-initiated activities as Level 2. Examples of Level 2 derivatives are interest rate swaps, foreign exchange and energy derivative contracts.

The Corporation also holds a portfolio of warrants for generally non-marketable equity securities. These warrants are primarily from high technology, non-public companies obtained as part of the loan origination process. Warrants which contain a net exercise provision are required to be accounted for as derivatives and recorded at fair value in accordance with the provisions of Implementation Issue 17a of SFAS 133. Fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model, which has five inputs: risk-free rate, expected life, volatility, exercise price, and the per share market value of the underlying company. The risk-free rate used in the June 30, 2008 valuation was estimated using the U.S. treasury rate, as of the valuation date, corresponding with the expected life of the warrant. The Corporation assumed an expected life of one half of the remaining contractual term of each warrant. Volatility was estimated using an index of comparable publicly traded companies, based on the Standard Industrial Classification codes. Where sufficient financial data existed, a market approach method was utilized to estimate the current value of the underlying company. When quoted market values were not available, an index method was utilized. Under the index method, the subject companies’ values were “rolled-forward” from the inception date through the valuation date based on the change in value of an underlying index of guideline public companies. The estimated fair value of the underlying securities for warrants requiring valuation at fair value were adjusted for discounts related to lack of liquidity. The Corporation classifies warrants accounted for as derivatives in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreclosed Assets

Upon transfer from the loan portfolio, foreclosed assets are adjusted to and subsequently carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Corporation records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Corporation records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Note 13 — Fair Value (continued)

Private Equity Investments

The Corporation has a portfolio of indirect (through funds) private equity and venture capital investments. The majority of these investments are not readily marketable. The investments are individually reviewed for impairment, on a quarterly basis, by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value. The Corporation bases its estimates of fair value for the majority of its indirect private equity and venture capital investments on the percentage ownership in the fair value of the entire fund, as reported by the fund management. In general, the Corporation does not have the benefit of the same information regarding the fund’s underlying investments as does fund management. Therefore, after indication that fund management adheres to accepted, sound and recognized valuation techniques, the Corporation generally utilizes the fair values assigned to the underlying portfolio investments by fund management. The impact on fair values of transfer restrictions is not considered by fund management, and the Corporation assumes it to be insignificant. For those funds where fair value is not reported by fund management, the Corporation derives the fair value of the fund by estimating the fair value of each underlying investment in the fund. In addition to using qualitative information about each underlying investment, as provided by fund management, the Corporation gives consideration to information pertinent to the specific nature of the debt or equity investment, such as relevant market conditions, offering prices, operating results, financial conditions, exit strategy and other qualitative information, as available. The lack of an independent source to validate fair value estimates, including the impact of future capital calls and transfer restrictions, is an inherent limitation in the valuation process. The Corporation classifies private equity investments subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3.

Loan Servicing Rights

Loan servicing rights are subject to impairment testing. A valuation model, which utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates and prepayment speed assumptions currently quoted for comparable instruments and a discount rate determined by management, is used for impairment testing. If the valuation model reflects a value less than the carrying value, loan servicing rights are adjusted to fair value through a valuation allowance as determined by the model. As such, the Corporation classifies loan servicing rights subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and identified intangible assets are subject to impairment testing. A projected cash flow valuation method is used in the completion of impairment testing. This valuation method requires a significant degree of management judgment. In the event the projected undiscounted net operating cash flows are less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation model. As such, the Corporation classifies goodwill and other intangible assets subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3.

Note 14 — Business Segment Information

The Corporation has strategically aligned its operations into three major business segments: the Business Bank, the Retail Bank, and Wealth & Institutional Management. These business segments are differentiated based on the type of customer and the related products and services provided. In addition to the three major business segments, the Finance Division is also reported as a segment. The Finance segment includes the Corporation’s securities portfolio and asset and liability management activities. This segment is responsible for managing the Corporation’s funding, liquidity and capital needs, performing interest sensitivity analysis and executing various strategies to manage the Corporation’s exposure to liquidity, interest rate risk, and foreign exchange risk. The Other category includes discontinued operations, the income and expense impact of equity and cash, tax benefits not assigned to specific business segments and miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature. Business segment results are produced by the Corporation’s internal management accounting system. This system measures financial results based on the internal business unit structure of the Corporation. Information presented is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business segment using certain methodologies, which are regularly reviewed and refined. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on business segments and methodologies in effect at June 30, 2008. These methodologies may be modified as the management accounting system is enhanced and changes occur in the organizational structure and/or product lines.

For a description of the business activities of each business segment and further information on the methodologies, which form the basis for these results, refer to Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation’s 2007 Annual Report.

Note 15 — Discontinued Operations

In December 2006, the Corporation sold its ownership interest in Munder Capital Management (Munder) to an investor group. As a result of the sale transaction, the Corporation accounted for Munder as a discontinued operation and all prior periods presented have been restated. As such, Munder was reported in “Other” and “Finance & Other” for business and market segment reporting purposes, respectively.

The impact of discontinued operations was not material to net income for the three and six months ended June 31, 2008 and 2007.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $56 million, a decrease of $140 million, or 72 percent, from $196 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Quarterly diluted net income per share decreased 70 percent to $0.37 in the second quarter 2008, compared to $1.25 in the same period a year ago. The decrease in net income in the three months ended June 30, 2008 from the comparable period last year resulted primarily from a $143 million increase in the provision for credit losses ($134 million increase in the provision for loan losses, $9 million increase in the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments), from $34 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. In addition, the Corporation recorded combined pre-tax charges of $50 million ($32 million after-tax, or $0.21 per share) in the second quarter 2008 related to an updated assessment of the timing of tax deductions on certain structured leasing transactions. The charges were recorded in net interest income ($19 million after-tax, or $0.13 per share) and the provision for income taxes ($13 million after-tax, or $0.08 per share). Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 4.25 percent and return on average assets was 0.33 percent for the second quarter 2008, compared to 15.44 percent and 1.35 percent, respectively, for the comparable quarter last year.

Net income for the first six months of 2008 was $165 million, a decrease of $221 million, or 57 percent, from $386 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Diluted net income per share for the first six months of 2008 decreased 56 percent to $1.09 per diluted share, compared to $2.45 per diluted share, for the comparable period last year. The decrease in net income in the six months ended June 30, 2008 from the comparable period last year resulted primarily from a $285 million increase in the provision for credit losses ($270 million increase in the provision for loan losses, $15 million increase in the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments), from $55 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and the $50 million ($32 million after-tax) of tax-related charges in the second quarter 2008 discussed above. Return on average common shareholders’ equity was 6.34 percent and return on average assets was 0.51 percent for the first six months of 2008, compared to 15.16 percent and 1.34 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2007.

Full-year 2008 Outlook.

For full-year 2008, management expects the following compared to full-year 2007 from continuing operations:

•

Low single-digit full-year average loan growth, with average loans declining over the remainder of 2008.

•

Securities averaging about $8 billion for the remainder of the year.

•

Average full-year net interest margin about 3.10 percent (3.15 percent excluding the lease income charge), based on no federal funds rate changes in the third and fourth quarters of 2008, with a net interest margin of about 3.10 percent for the remainder of 2008.

•

Full-year net credit-related charge-offs of $425 million to $450 million. The provision for credit losses is expected to exceed net charge-offs.

•

Low single-digit growth in noninterest income.

•

Low single-digit decline in noninterest expenses.

•

Effective tax rate of about 30 percent for the full year, with a rate of 28 percent for the remainder of 2008.

•

Maintain a Tier 1 capital ratio within a target range of 7.25 to 8.25 percent.

Net Interest Income

The rate-volume analysis in Table I details the components of the change in net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year. On a FTE basis, net interest income decreased $67 million to $443 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $510 million for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in net interest income in the second quarter 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, resulted primarily from a $30 million tax-related non-cash charge to lease income, a competitive loan and deposit pricing environment, a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits in the Financial Services Division and a continued shift in funding sources toward higher-cost funds, partially offset by growth in investment securities and loans. The lease income charge reflected the reversal of previously recognized income, resulting from a projected change in the timing of income tax cash flows on certain structured leasing transactions, in accordance with FSP 13-2 “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction.” The charge will fully reverse over the remaining lease terms (up to 20 years). Further information about the charge can be found in

“Provision for Income and Tax-related Interest” in this financial review and Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. Average earning assets increased $6.8 billion, or 12 percent, to $61.1 billion in the second quarter 2008, compared to $54.3 billion in the second quarter 2007, due to a $4.2 billion increase in average investment securities available-for-sale to $8.3 billion and a $2.6 billion, or five percent, increase in average loans to $52.4 billion in the second quarter 2008. The net interest margin (FTE) for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 2.91 percent, compared to 3.76 percent for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in the net interest margin (FTE) resulted primarily from the tax-related non-cash charge to lease income discussed above (-19 basis points), the reduced contribution of noninterest-bearing funds in a lower rate environment, the change in earning assets noted above and changes in the mix of interest-bearing sources of funds.

Table II provides an analysis of net interest income for the first six months of 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year. On a FTE basis, net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $920 million, compared to $1.0 billion for the same period in 2007, a decrease of $93 million. The decline in net interest income was primarily due to the same reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above. Average earning assets increased $6.6 billion, or 12 percent, to $60.3 billion, in the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $53.7 billion in the same period in the prior year, due to a $3.8 billion increase in average investment securities available-for-sale to $7.8 billion and a $2.8 billion, or six percent, increase in average loans to $52.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The net interest margin (FTE) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to 3.07 percent from 3.79 percent for the same period in 2007 primarily for the reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above. The impact of the tax-related non-cash charge to lease income, discussed above, was -10 basis points on the net interest margin (FTE) for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Financial Services Division customers deposit large balances (primarily noninterest-bearing) and the Corporation pays certain expenses on behalf of such customers (“customer services” expense included in “noninterest expenses” on the consolidated statements of income) and/or makes low-rate loans (included in “net interest income” on the consolidated statements of income) to such customers. Footnote (1) to Tables I and II displays average Financial Services Division loans and deposits, with related interest income/expense and average rates. As shown in footnote (2) to Tables I and II, the impact of Financial Services Division loans (primarily low-rate) on net interest margin (assuming the loans were funded by Financial Services Division noninterest-bearing deposits) was a decrease of one basis point and two basis points in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to a decrease of 10 basis points and 11 basis points for the comparable periods in the prior year.

For further discussion of the effects of market rates on net interest income, refer to “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Management currently expects average full-year 2008 net interest margin of about 3.10 percent.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for loan losses was $170 million for the second quarter 2008, compared to $36 million for the same period in 2007. The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2008 was $329 million, compared to $59 million for the same period in 2007. The Corporation establishes this provision to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, which is discussed under the “Credit Risk” subheading in the section entitled “Risk Management” of this financial review. The $134 million increase in the provision for loan losses in the three-months ended June 30, 2008, when compared to the same period in 2007, resulted primarily from challenges in the California residential real estate development industry. National growth has been hampered by surging oil prices, turmoil in the financial markets and declining home values. California lagged national growth primarily due to continued problems in the state’s real estate sector and job growth that was trailing national performance. Evidence of real estate weakness in California included the continued downtrend of median sales prices of existing single-family homes and residential building permits (trailing 5 months), which declined 44 percent from one year ago. Michigan remained in a recession in 2007 and continued to contract in 2008. The average Michigan Business Activity index for the first four months of 2008 averaged 2.5 percent below the average for all of 2007. The Michigan Business Activity index represents 10 different measures of Michigan economic activity compiled by the Corporation. Restructuring in the auto sector, which has intensified due to the sudden shift by consumers toward fuel efficient vehicles, was again a major factor holding back the Michigan economy. A wide variety of economic reports consistently showed that Texas continued to outperform the nation, though growth clearly had slowed from the rapid pace seen in 2007. Growth in Texas continued to benefit from a booming energy sector, a much more modest retrenchment in homebuilding than in most other states and a strong inflow of people who were attracted to the state’s diversified and resilient economy. Forward-looking indicators suggest that economic conditions in the Corporation’s primary markets are likely to resemble recent trends for the remainder of 2008.

The provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments was $7 million and $11 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to negative provisions of $2 million and $4 million for the comparable periods in 2007. The Corporation establishes this provision to maintain an adequate allowance to cover probable credit losses inherent in lending-related commitments. The increases in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, when compared to the same periods in 2007, were primarily the result of an increase in specific reserves related to unused commitments extended to customers in the Michigan commercial real estate and California residential real estate development industries and standby letters of credit extended to customers in the Michigan commercial real estate industry.

Management currently expects full-year 2008 net credit-related charge-offs of $425 million to $450 million. The provision for credit losses is expected to exceed net charge-offs.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $242 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $17 million, or seven percent, compared to $225 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in noninterest income in the second quarter 2008, compared to the second quarter 2007, was primarily due to a $14 million gain on the sale of MasterCard shares and increases in commercial lending fees ($4 million), service charges on deposit accounts ($4 million) and letter of credit fees ($3 million), partially offset by a $9 million decrease in net income from principal investing and warrants.

Noninterest income was $479 million for the first six months of 2008, an increase of $51 million, or 12 percent, compared to the same period in 2007, due primarily to a $21 million gain on the sale of Visa shares and a $14 million gain on the sale of MasterCard shares in the first six months of 2008, included in net securities gains, and increases in service charges on deposit accounts ($8 million), commercial lending fees ($5 million), fiduciary income ($5 million) and card fees ($4 million), partially offset by a $9 million decrease in net income from principal investing and warrants.

Management currently expects low single-digit growth in noninterest income in full-year 2008.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses were $423 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $12 million, or three percent, from $411 million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase in noninterest expenses in the second quarter 2008, compared to the second quarter 2007, reflected increases in litigation and operational losses ($12 million), the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments ($9 million), software expense ($5 million), outside processing fees ($4 million) and net occupancy expense ($3 million), partially offset by decreases in salaries ($13 million) and customer services expense ($8 million). The increase in litigation and operational losses primarily reflected litigation-related insurance settlement proceeds of $8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2007. The provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments increased for the reasons cited in the “Provision for Credit Losses” section above. As detailed in the table below, total salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $15 million, or six percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease in salaries was primarily due to a $12 million decrease resulting from the refinement in the application of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91, “Accounting for Loan Origination Fees and Costs,” (SFAS 91) as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Customer services expense represents certain expenses paid on behalf of particular customers, and is one method used to attract and retain title and escrow depositions in the Corporation’s Financial Services Division. The amount of customer services expense varies from period to period as a result of changes in this Division’s level of noninterest-bearing deposits and low-rate loans, the earnings credit allowances provided on these deposits and a competitive environment.

The following table summarizes the various components of salaries and employee benefits expense.

Noninterest expenses were $826 million for the first six months of 2008, an increase of $8 million, or one percent, from $818 million for the comparable period in 2007. Noninterest expenses in the first six months of 2008, compared to the first six months of 2007, reflected increases in the provision for credit losses on lending-related

commitments ($15 million), software expense ($9 million), outside processing fees ($7 million) and net occupancy expense ($6 million), partially offset by decreases in salaries ($19 million) and customer services expense ($16 million). The increases and decreases for the first six months of 2008, compared to the first six months of 2007, were primarily due to the same reasons cited in the quarterly discussion above. The refinement in the application of SFAS 91, as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, resulted in a $23 million reduction in salaries expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Litigation and operational losses in the first six months of 2008 and 2007 included the first quarter 2008 reversal of a $13 million Visa loss sharing expense and the second quarter 2007 recognition of $8 million of insurance settlement proceeds, respectively.

Management currently expects a low single-digit decline in noninterest expenses for the full-year 2008.

Provision for Income Taxes and Tax-related Interest

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter 2008 was $35 million, compared to $91 million for the same period a year ago. The effective tax rate was 39 percent for the second quarter 2008 and 32 percent for the second quarter 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the provision for income taxes was $76 million and $177 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 32 percent and 31 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were impacted by an after-tax charge of $13 million to increase reserves for interest on tax liabilities related to certain structured leasing transactions. Further information on the charge can be found in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements

Management currently expects an effective tax rate for the full-year 2008 of about 30 percent, with a rate of 28 percent for the remainder of 2008.

Business Segments

The Corporation’s operations are strategically aligned into three major business segments: the Business Bank, the Retail Bank, and Wealth & Institutional Management. These business segments are differentiated based on the products and services provided. In addition to the three major business segments, the Finance Division is also reported as a segment. The Other category includes discontinued operations and items not directly associated with these business segments or the Finance Division. Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements presents financial results of these business segments for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For a description of the business activities of each business segment and the methodologies which form the basis for these results, refer to Note 14 to these consolidated financial statements and Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation’s 2007 Annual Report.

The following table presents net income (loss) by business segment.

The Business Bank’s net income of $118 million decreased $168 million, or 59 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income (FTE) was $625 million, a decrease of $56 million from the comparable prior year period. The decrease in net interest income (FTE) was primarily due to a decline in deposit spreads caused by a competitive rate environment and a $30 million tax-related non-cash charge to income related to certain structured leasing transactions, partially offset by the reduced negative impact of the Financial Services Division (see footnote (2) to Table II on page 34) and a $2.9 billion increase in average loans, excluding the Financial Services Division. The provision for loan losses of $269 million increased $223 million, from a provision of $46 million in the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to

increases in reserves for the residential real estate development industry, primarily in California, and the Middle Market loan portfolios in the Western, Florida and Texas markets in 2008. Noninterest income of $165 million increased $36 million from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a $14 million gain on the sale of MasterCard shares in the second quarter 2008 and increases in investment banking fees ($5 million), foreign exchange income ($4 million), commercial lending fees ($4 million), service charges on deposits ($4 million) and income from customer derivatives ($4 million). Noninterest expenses of $362 million increased $16 million from the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a $15 million increase in the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments, a $14 million increase in allocated net overhead expenses and smaller increases in several other expense categories, partially offset by a $16 million decrease in customer services expense and an $8 million decrease in salaries resulting from the refinement in the application of SFAS 91, as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

The Retail Bank’s net income decreased $37 million, or 45 percent, to $47 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income (FTE) of $294 million decreased $47 million from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a decline in deposit spreads caused by a competitive deposit pricing environment, partially offset by a $214 million increase in average loans. The provision for loan losses increased $37 million from the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to increases in Small Business and home equity lending credit reserves. Noninterest income of $129 million increased $20 million from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a $21 million gain on the sale of Visa shares in the first quarter 2008. Noninterest expenses of $304 million decreased $8 million from the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the first quarter 2008 reversal of a $13 million Visa loss sharing expense and an $11 million decrease in salaries resulting from the refinement in the application of SFAS 91, as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, partially offset by increases in net occupancy expenses ($5 million) primarily from new banking centers, allocated net corporate overhead expenses ($3 million) and advertising expenses ($2 million).

Wealth & Institutional Management’s net income decreased $3 million, or 10 percent, to $34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income (FTE) of $73 million was relatively unchanged from the comparable period in the prior year as decreases in loan and deposit spreads were offset by increases in average loan and deposit balances. The provision for loan losses increased $5 million. Noninterest income of $149 million increased $8 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase of $4 million in fiduciary income and nominal increases in several other income categories. Noninterest expenses of $162 million increased $7 million from the same period in the prior year due primarily to increases in allocated net corporate overhead expenses ($3 million).

The net loss for the Finance Division was $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Contributing to the decrease in net loss was a $19 million increase in net interest income (FTE), primarily due to an increase in investment securities available-for-sale, partially offset by the declining rate environment in which income received from the lending-related business has decreased faster than the longer-term value attributed to deposits generated by the business units.

The net loss in the Other category was $26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income of $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, partially due to a $7 million decline in net income from principle investing and warrants. The remaining decline in net income is due to timing differences between when corporate overhead expenses are reflected as a consolidated expense and when the expenses are allocated to the business segments.

Market Segments

The Corporation’s management accounting system also produces market segment results for the Corporation’s four primary geographic markets: Midwest, Western, Texas and Florida. In addition to the four primary geographic markets, Other Markets and International are also reported as market segments. Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements contains a description and presents financial results of these market segments for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

The following table presents net income (loss) by market segment.

The Midwest market’s net income decreased $16 million, or 10 percent, to $139 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income (FTE) of $377 million decreased $77 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to a $30 million tax-related non-cash charge to income related to certain structured leasing transactions, a decline in deposit spreads caused by a competitive deposit pricing environment and a decline in loan spreads, partially offset by increases in average loan and deposit balances. The provision for loan losses decreased $7 million the first six months of 2008, compared to the first six months of 2007, primarily due to an improvement in credit quality in the Middle Market loan portfolio, partially offset by an increase in reserves for home equity loans in. Noninterest income of $272 million increased $40 million from the comparable period in the prior year due to a $17 million gain on the sale of Visa shares in the first quarter 2008 and a $14 million gain on the sale of MasterCard shares in the second quarter 2008. Noninterest expenses of $390 million decreased $8 million from the same period in the prior year, due to the first quarter 2008 reversal of a $10 million Visa loss sharing expense and a $14 million decrease in salaries resulting from the refinement in the application of SFAS 91, as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, partially offset by an $8 million increase in provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments and a $7 million increase in allocated net overhead expenses.

The Western market’s net income decreased $168 million to a net loss of $30 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income (FTE) of $343 million decreased $34 million from the comparable prior year period, primarily due to a decline in deposit spreads caused by a competitive deposit pricing environment and a decline in loan spreads (excluding Financial Services Division), partially offset by the reduced negative impact of the Financial Services Division (see Footnote (2) to Table II on page 34) and a $1.4 billion increase in average loans, excluding the Financial Services Division. The provision for loan losses increased $234 million, primarily due to increases in reserves for the residential real estate development industry and the Middle Market loan portfolio. Noninterest income of $67 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, increased $7 million from the same period in 2007, primarily due to a $5 million increase in service charges on deposits and a $3 million increase in foreign exchange income. Noninterest expenses of $223 million decreased $1 million from the same period in the prior year. The decrease resulted from a $17 million decrease in customer services expense and a $5 million decrease in salaries resulting from the refinement in the application of SFAS 91, as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, partially offset by increases in allocated net overhead expenses ($7 million), net occupancy expenses ($4 million), the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments ($3 million) and nominal increases in several other expense categories.

The Texas market’s net income decreased $8 million, or 17 percent, to $36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income (FTE) of $147 million increased $7 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in average loan and deposit balances, partially offset by declines in loan and deposit spreads. The provision for loan losses increased $11 million, primarily due to an increase in reserves for the Middle Market loan portfolio. Noninterest income of $47 million increased $8 million from the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a $3 million gain on the sale of Visa shares in the first quarter 2008 and a $2 million increase in service charges on deposits. Noninterest expenses of $121 million increased $12 million from the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to increases in allocated net corporate overhead expenses ($3 million), and nominal increases in several other expense categories, partially offset by a $3 million decrease in salaries resulting from the refinement in the application of SFAS 91, as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

The Florida market’s net income decreased $10 million to a net loss of $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income of $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income (FTE) of $23 million increased $1 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the increase in average loan and deposit balances. The provision for loan losses increased $16 million, mostly due to a single customer in the Middle Market loan portfolio. Noninterest income of $9 million increased $2 million from the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in customer derivative income. Noninterest expenses of $21 million increased $3 million from the comparable period in the prior year due to nominal increases in several expense categories.

The Other Markets’ net income of $41 million remained flat for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income (FTE) of $72 million increased $5 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to increases in average loan balances, average deposit balances and loan spreads, partially offset by a decline in deposit spreads. The provision for loan losses increased $8 million, primarily due to an increase in reserves for the residential real estate development industry. Noninterest income of $32 million increased $8 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to increases in investment banking fees ($5 million), participation agent fees ($2 million) and cash management fees ($2 million). Noninterest expenses of $52 million increased $9 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to increases in revenue-related incentive compensation ($3 million), the provision for credit losses on lending-related commitments ($2 million) and allocated net corporate overhead expenses ($2 million).

The International market’s net income decreased $6 million, to $18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income (FTE) of $30 million decreased $5 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in average deposit balances and a decrease in loan spreads, partially offset by an increase in average loan balances. The provision for loan losses increased $3 million from a negative provision of $6 million for the first six months of 2007, to a negative provision of $3 million for the comparable 2008 period, due to higher loan loss recoveries in 2007. Noninterest income of $16 million and noninterest expenses of $21 million remained relatively unchanged from the comparable period in the prior year.

The net loss for the Finance & Other Business segment was $34 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to a net loss of $21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The $13 million increase in net loss was due to the same reasons noted in the Finance Division and the Other category discussions under the “Business Segments” heading.

Financial Condition

Total assets were $66.0 billion at June 30, 2008, compared to $62.3 billion at year-end 2007 and $58.6 billion at June 30, 2007. Investment securities available-for-sale increased $1.9 billion, from $6.3 billion at December 31, 2007, to $8.2 billion at June 30, 2008, primarily due to the purchase of approximately $2.7 billion of AAA-rated mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities (FNMA, FHLMC) in the first six months of 2008, to assist in managing interest rate risk. Total period-end loans increased $1.0 billion, or two percent, to $51.8 billion from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008, but have decreased $601 million, or one percent, since March 31, 2008. On an average basis, total loans increased $1.7 billion, or three percent, to $52.4 billion in the second quarter 2008, compared to $50.7 billion in the fourth quarter 2007. Excluding Financial Services Division loans, average loans showed growth in most business lines: Global Corporate Banking (11 percent), Private Banking

(nine percent), Small Business (four percent), Middle Market (three percent), Commercial Real Estate (three percent), Specialty Businesses (five percent) and National Dealer Services (two percent), from the fourth quarter 2007 to the second quarter 2008. Excluding Financial Services Division loans, average loans grew $2.1 billion, or four percent, with growth in all markets from the fourth quarter 2007 to the second quarter 2008: Texas (six percent), Western (five percent), Midwest (four percent), Florida (eight percent) and International (eight percent).

Management currently expects low single-digit full-year 2008 average loan growth, with average loans declining over the remainder of 2008.

Commercial real estate loans, consisting of real estate construction and commercial mortgage loans, totaled $15.2 billion at June 30, 2008, of which $5.6 billion, or 37 percent, were to borrowers in the Commercial Real Estate line of business, which includes loans to residential real estate developers. The $9.6 billion of commercial real estate loans in other business lines consist primarily of owner-occupied commercial mortgages. The following table reflects real estate construction and commercial mortgage loans to borrowers in the Commercial Real Estate line of business by project type and location of property:

Total liabilities increased $3.7 billion, or six percent, from $57.2 billion at December 31, 2007, to $60.9 billion at June 30, 2008. Total deposits decreased $2.0 billion, or four percent, to $42.3 billion at June 30, 2008, from $44.3 billion at December 31, 2007, primarily as a result of decreases in money market and NOW deposits ($755 million), customer certificates of deposit ($611 million) and foreign office time deposits ($389 million). Deposits in the Financial Services Division, which include title and escrow deposits and fluctuate with the level of home mortgage financing and refinancing activity, were $3.4 billion at June 30, 2008, compared to $3.3 billion at December 31, 2007. Financial Services Division noninterest-bearing deposits increased $214 million, to $2.5 billion at June 30, 2008, compared to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2007. Short-term borrowings increased $1.3 billion to $4.1 billion at June 30, 2008, from $2.8 billion at December 31, 2007, primarily due to borrowings under the Federal Reserve Term Auction Facility (TAF) ($1.5 billion). The TAF provides access to short-term funds (28-day terms) at generally favorable rates. Medium and long-term debt increased $4.1 billion to $12.9 billion at June 30, 2008, from $8.8 billion at December 31, 2007, as a result of $4.5 billion of new medium-term FHLB advances in the first six months of 2008. For further information on the FHLB advances, see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements.

Capital

Shareholders’ equity was $5.1 billion at both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The following table presents a summary of changes in shareholders’ equity for the six month period ended June 30, 2008:

As shown in the table above, cash dividends declared exceeded net income for the first six months of 2008. It is not uncommon for this to occur in an economic downturn. The Board of Directors of the Corporation declared a third quarter 2008 dividend of $0.66 per share on July 22, 2008.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation authorized the purchase up to 10 million shares of Comerica Incorporated outstanding common stock on November 13, 2007, in addition to the remaining unfilled portion of the November 14, 2006 authorization. There is no expiration date for the Corporation’s share repurchase program. No shares were purchased as part of the Corporations’ publicly announced repurchase program in the first six months of 2008.

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s share repurchase activity for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

*		June 30, 2008 ratios are estimated

At June 30, 2008, the Corporation and its U.S. banking subsidiaries exceeded the ratios required for an institution to be considered “well capitalized” (Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios greater than six percent, 10 percent and five percent, respectively). Based on an interim decision issued by the banking regulators in 2006, the after-tax charge to shareholders’ equity associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” was excluded from the calculation of regulatory capital ratios. Therefore, for purposes of calculating regulatory capital ratios, shareholders’ equity was increased by $162 million and $170 million on June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The Corporation believes it is optimizing capital usage, with particular focus on rationalization of the loan portfolio with the appropriate credit standards, loan pricing and return hurdles and expects to maintain a Tier 1 capital ratio within a target range of 7.25 to 8.25 percent for 2008.

Risk Management

The following updated information should be read in conjunction with the “Risk Management” section on pages 44-61 of the Corporation’s 2007 Annual Report.

Credit Risk

Allowance for Credit Losses and Nonperforming Assets

The allowance for credit losses includes both the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s assessment of probable losses inherent in the Corporation’s loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses provides for probable losses that have been identified with specific customer relationships and for probable losses believed to be inherent in the loan portfolio, but that have not been specifically identified. Internal risk ratings are assigned to each business loan at the time of approval and are subject to subsequent periodic reviews by the Corporation’s senior management. The Corporation performs a detailed credit quality review quarterly on both large business and certain large consumer and residential mortgage loans that have deteriorated below certain levels of credit risk and may allocate a specific portion of the allowance to such loans based upon this review. The Corporation defines business loans as those belonging to the commercial, real estate construction, commercial mortgage, lease financing and international loan portfolios. A portion of the allowance is allocated to the remaining business loans by applying estimated loss ratios, based on numerous factors identified below, to the loans within each risk rating. In addition, a portion of the allowance is allocated to these remaining loans based on industry specific risks inherent in certain portfolios that have experienced above average losses, including portfolio exposures to California residential real estate development, retail trade (gasoline delivery) and Small Business Administration loans. Furthermore, a portion of the allowance is allocated to these remaining loans based on specific risks inherent in certain portfolios that have not yet manifested themselves in the risk ratings, including exposure to the automotive industry. The portion of the allowance allocated to all other consumer and residential mortgage loans is determined by applying estimated loss ratios to various segments of the loan portfolios. Estimated loss ratios for all portfolios incorporate factors such as recent charge-off experience, current economic conditions and trends, and trends with respect to past due and nonaccrual amounts, and are supported by underlying analysis, including information on migration and loss given default studies from each of the three largest domestic geographic markets (Midwest, Western and Texas), as well as mapping to bond tables. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments, included in “accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets, provides for probable credit losses inherent in lending-related commitments, including unused commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees. Lending-related commitments for which it is probable that the commitment will be drawn (or sold) are reserved with the same estimated loss rates as loans, or with specific reserves. In general, the probability of draw for letters of credit is considered certain once the credit becomes a watch list credit. Non-watch list letters of credit and all unfunded commitments have a lower probability of draw, to which standard loan loss rates are applied.

Actual loss ratios experienced in the future may vary from those estimated. The uncertainty occurs because factors may exist which affect the determination of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and are not necessarily captured by the application of estimated loss ratios or identified industry specific risks. A portion of the allowance is maintained to capture these probable losses and reflects management’s view that the allowance should recognize the margin for error inherent in the process of estimating expected loan losses. Factors that were considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the Corporation’s allowance include the inherent imprecision in the risk rating system and the risk associated with new customer relationships. The allowance associated with the margin for inherent imprecision covers probable loan losses as a result of an inaccuracy in assigning risk ratings or stale ratings which may not have been updated for recent negative trends in particular credits. The allowance due to new business migration risk is based on an evaluation of the risk of rating downgrades associated with loans that do not have a full year of payment history.

The total allowance for loan losses is available to absorb losses from any segment within the portfolio. Unanticipated economic events, including political, economic and regulatory instability in countries where the Corporation has loans, could cause changes in the credit characteristics of the portfolio and result in an unanticipated increase in the allowance. Inclusion of other industry specific portfolio exposures in the allowance, as well as significant increases in the current portfolio exposures, could also increase the amount of the allowance. Any of these events, or some combination thereof, may result in the need for additional provision for loan losses in order to maintain an allowance that complies with credit risk and accounting policies. At June 30, 2008, the total allowance for loan losses was $663 million, an increase of $106 million from $557 million at December 31, 2007. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in individual and industry reserves for customers in the California residential real estate development industry and retail trade (gasoline delivery) industry, mostly in the Midwest.

These increases were partially offset by reductions of projected loss rates for the Corporation’s automotive industry portfolio due to historical experience. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total period-end loans was 1.28 and 1.10 percent at June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments was $31 million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $10 million from $21 million at December 31, 2007, resulting primarily from increases in specific reserves related to unused commitments extended to customers in the Michigan commercial real estate and California residential real estate development industries and standby letters of credit extended to customers in the Michigan commercial real estate industry.

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2008 were $748 million, compared to $423 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $325 million, or 77 percent. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans decreased to 91 percent at June 30, 2008, from 138 percent at December 31, 2007. Recent significant inflows of residential real estate development nonperforming loans, for which appropriate reserves have been established and charge-offs have been taken, contributed to the decrease in the allowance coverage ratio. Real estate-related loans may remain as nonperforming loans for longer periods than other types of nonperforming loans. While the allowance coverage ratio declined, the decline did not reflect a change in the methodology of developing the allowance based on the underlying loan portfolios.

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were categorized as follows:

Loan relationships with balances greater than $2 million transferred to nonaccrual status totaled $304 million in the second quarter 2008, an increase of $23 million from $281 million in the first quarter 2008. Of the transfers to nonaccrual in the second quarter 2008, $188 million were from the Commercial Real Estate business line, including $138 million located in the Western market, and $65 million were from the Middle Market business line. There were eight loan relationships greater than $10 million transferred to nonaccrual in the second quarter 2008. These loans totaled $127 million, of which $57 million were to companies in the real estate industry.

The problems experienced in the residential real estate development industry in the Western market (primarily California) were generally isolated to the local developer portfolio that focused on starter homes ($732 million, of which 72 percent were single-family home construction loans and the remainder were land carry or land development loans). This portfolio accounted for $277 million, or 38 percent, of total nonaccrual loans and $56 million of charge-offs in the second quarter 2008.

The following table presents a summary of total internally classified watch list loans (generally consistent with regulatory defined special mention, substandard and doubtful loans). Total watch list loans increased both in dollars and as a percentage of the total loan portfolio from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. However, the rate of increase has slowed significantly in the second quarter 2008.

ITEM 3.		Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Net interest income is the predominant source of revenue for the Corporation. Interest rate risk arises primarily through the Corporation’s core business activities of extending loans and accepting deposits. The Corporation’s balance sheet is predominantly characterized by floating rate commercial loans funded by a combination of core deposits and wholesale borrowings. This creates a natural imbalance between the floating rate loan portfolio and the more slowly repricing deposit products. The result is that growth in our core businesses will lead to a greater sensitivity to interest rate movements, without mitigating actions. Examples of such an action are purchasing investment securities, primarily fixed rate, which provide liquidity to the balance sheet and act to mitigate the inherent interest sensitivity or hedging the sensitivity with interest rate swaps. The Corporation actively manages its exposure to interest rate risk with the principal objective of optimizing net interest income while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and maintaining adequate levels of funding and liquidity.

The Corporation frequently evaluates net interest income under various balance sheet and interest rate scenarios, using simulation modeling analysis as its principal risk management evaluation technique. The results of these analyses provide the information needed to assess the balance sheet structure. Changes in economic activity, different from those management included in its simulation analyses, whether domestically or internationally, could translate into a materially different interest rate environment than currently expected. Management evaluates “base” net interest income under an unchanged interest rate environment and what is believed to be the most likely balance sheet structure. This “base” net interest income is then evaluated against non-parallel interest rate scenarios that increase and decrease approximately 200 basis points from the unchanged interest rate environment (but not lower than zero percent). For this analysis, the rise or decline in interest rates occurs in a linear fashion over twelve months. In addition, adjustments to asset prepayment levels, yield curves and overall balance sheet mix and growth assumptions are made to be consistent with each interest rate environment. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors. However, the model can indicate the likely direction of change. Derivative instruments entered into for risk management purposes are included in these analyses.

The table below as of June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, displays the estimated impact on net interest income during the next 12 months as it relates the unchanged interest rate scenario results to those from the 200 basis point non-parallel shock described above. The change in interest rate sensitivity from December 31, 2007, to June 30, 2008, was primarily the result of loan and deposit growth, activities in the Financial Services Division, growth in the investment securities portfolio and the maturity of interest rate swaps.

Change in Interest Rates:
+200 basis points	$	37			2	%	$	38			2	%
-200 basis points		(49	)		(3	)		(36	)		(2	)

The Corporation also performs an economic value of equity analysis for a longer term view of the interest rate risk position. The economic value of equity analysis begins with an estimate of the mark-to-market valuation of the Corporation’s balance sheet and then applies the estimated impact of rate movements upon the market value of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments. The economic value of equity is then calculated as difference between the market value of assets and liabilities net of the impact of off-balance sheet instruments. As with net interest income shocks, a variety of alternative scenarios are performed to measure the impact on economic value of equity, including changes in the level, slope and shape of the yield curve.

The table below as of June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007, displays the estimated impact on the economic value of equity from a 200 basis point immediate parallel increase or decrease in interest rates. The change in economic value of equity from December 31, 2007, to June 30, 2008, was primarily the result of a change in the funding mix, growth in the investment securities portfolio and the maturity of interest rate swaps.

Other Market Risks

At June 30, 2008, the Corporation had a $69 million portfolio of indirect (through funds) private equity and venture capital investments, with commitments of $42 million to fund additional investments in future periods. The value of these investments is at risk to changes in equity markets, general economic conditions and a variety of other factors. The majority of these investments are not readily marketable, and are reported in other assets. The investments are individually reviewed for impairment on a quarterly basis, by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value. Approximately $12 million of the underlying equity and debt (primarily equity) in these funds are to companies in the automotive industry. The automotive-related positions do not represent a majority of any one fund’s investments, and therefore, the exposure related to these positions is mitigated by the performance of other investment interests within the fund’s portfolio of companies.

The Corporation holds a portfolio of approximately 810 warrants for generally non-marketable equity securities. These warrants are primarily from high technology, non-public companies obtained as part of the loan origination process. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation’s 2007 Annual Report, warrants that have a net exercise provision embedded in the warrant agreement are required to be accounted for as derivatives and recorded at fair value (approximately 470 warrants at June 30, 2008). The value of all warrants that are carried at fair value ($10 million at June 30, 2008) is at risk to changes in equity markets, general economic conditions and other factors. The majority of new warrants obtained as part of the loan origination process no longer contain an embedded net exercise provision. During the first quarter 2008, the Corporation adopted SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, as discussed in Note 1 to these consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, the estimated fair value of warrants carried at fair value was adjusted to reflect a discount for lack of liquidity, resulting in a $2 million pre-tax charge to earnings.

Certain components of the Corporation’s noninterest income, primarily fiduciary income, are at risk to fluctuations in the market values of underlying assets, particularly equity securities. Other components of noninterest income, primarily brokerage fees, are at risk to changes in the level of market activity.

For further discussion of market risk, see Note 10 to these consolidated financial statements and pages 54-60 in the Corporation’s 2007 Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the application of accounting policies, the most significant of which are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation’s 2007 Annual Report, as updated in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report. These policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions, which may prove inaccurate or subject to variations. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions or estimates could have a material impact on the Corporation’s future financial condition and results of operations. The most critical of these significant accounting policies are the policies for allowance for credit losses, pension plan accounting, income taxes and valuation methodologies. These policies are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors and are discussed more fully on pages 62-66 of the Corporation’s 2007 Annual Report. As of the date of this report, the Corporation does not believe that there has been a material change in the nature or categories of its critical accounting policies or its estimates and assumptions from those discussed in its 2007 Annual Report, aside from certain refinements to estimates and assumptions related to the January 1, 2008 adoption of SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157) as discussed below and described in greater detail in Note 13 to these consolidated financial statements.

Fair Valuation of Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2008, the Corporation adopted SFAS 157 which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Corporation utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. SFAS 157 differentiates between those assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value at every reporting period (“recurring”) and those assets and liabilities that are only required to be adjusted to fair value under certain circumstances (“nonrecurring”). Securities available-for-sale, certain short-term investments and derivatives are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Corporation may be required to record at fair value other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Further, the notes to the consolidated financial statements include information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities and the valuation methodologies used.

SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-derived or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s estimates about market data.

Level 1		Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 1 instruments include securities traded on active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange, as well as U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets.

Level 2		Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 2 instruments include securities traded in less active dealer or broker markets.

Level 3		Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

For assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, it is the Corporation’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy in SFAS 157. When available, the Corporation utilizes quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based upon models that use primarily market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including interest rate yield curves, prepayment speeds, option volatilities and currency rates. Substantially all of the Corporation’s financial instruments use either of the foregoing methodologies, collectively Level 1 and Level 2 measurements, to determine fair value adjustments recorded in the Corporation’s financial statements. However, in certain cases, when market observable inputs for model-based valuation techniques may not be readily available, the Corporation is required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use in estimating the fair value of the financial instrument. The models used by the Corporation to determine fair value adjustments are periodically evaluated by management for relevance under current facts and circumstances.

The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market parameters. For financial instruments that trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market parameters, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When observable market prices and parameters are not fully available, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. For example, reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities could result in observable market inputs becoming unavailable. Therefore, when market data is not available, the Corporation would use valuation techniques requiring more management judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value measurement.

At June 30, 2008, $9.1 billion, or 14 percent of total assets, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Substantially all of these financial instruments were measured using valuation methodologies involving market-based or market-derived information, collectively Level 1 and 2 measurements. Less than one percent of these financial assets were measured using model-based techniques, or Level 3 measurements. The financial assets valued using Level 3 measurements included warrants and securities in less liquid markets. At June 30, 2008, one percent of total liabilities, or $656 million, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

At June 30, 2008, $842 million, or one percent of total assets, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Approximately 90 percent of these financial instruments were measured using model-based techniques, or Level 3 measurements, and the remainder of these financial instruments were measured using Level 2 measurement valuation methodologies involving market-based or market-derived information. The financial assets valued using Level 3 measurements included private equity investments, loan servicing rights and certain foreclosed assets. At June 30, 2008, no liabilities were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for a complete discussion on the Corporation’s use of fair valuation of financial instruments and the related measurement techniques.
