Bank of America Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Corporation), through its banking and nonbanking subsidiaries, provides a diverse range of financial services and products throughout the U.S. and in selected international markets. At September 30, 2007, the Corporation operated its banking activities primarily under two charters: Bank of America, National Association (Bank of America, N.A.) and FIA Card Services, N.A.

NOTE 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries, and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Corporation is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The information contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results have been made. Results of operations of companies purchased are included from the dates of acquisition.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation changed its basis of presentation for its business segments. For additional information, see Note 17 – Business Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective April 1, 2007, the Corporation changed the current and historical presentation of its Consolidated Statement of Income to present gains (losses) on sales of debt securities as a component of noninterest income.

Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On June 27, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensus on Issue No. 06–11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (EITF 06-11). EITF 06–11 requires that the tax benefit related to dividend equivalents paid on restricted stock and restricted stock units which are expected to vest be recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The Corporation currently accounts for this tax benefit as a reduction to income tax expense. EITF 06–11 is to be applied prospectively for tax benefits on dividends declared by the Corporation on or after January 1, 2008. The Corporation expects to adopt the provisions of EITF 06–11 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of EITF 06–11 will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) and SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The impact of adopting both SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 reduced the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2007 by $208 million, net of tax. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities are recognized in earnings when they occur. For additional information on the fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, see Note 15 – Fair Value Disclosures to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 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” (FSP 13-2). The principal provision of FSP 13-2 is the requirement that a lessor recalculate the recognition of lease income when there is a change in the estimated timing of the cash flows relating to income taxes generated by such leveraged lease. The adoption of FSP 13-2 reduced the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2007 by $1.4 billion, net of tax, with a corresponding offset decreasing the net investment in leveraged leases recorded as part of loans and leases. Following the adoption, if during the remainder of the lease term the timing of the income tax cash flows generated by the leveraged leases are revised as a result of final determination by the Internal Revenue Service on certain leveraged leases or management changes its assumption about the timing of the tax cash flows, the rate of return shall be recalculated from the inception of the lease using the revised assumption and the change in the net investment shall be recognized as a gain or loss in the year in which the assumption is changed.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for income taxes where interpretation of the tax law may be uncertain. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of income tax uncertainties with respect to positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The adoption of FIN 48 reduced the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2007 by $146 million and increased goodwill by $52 million. For additional information on income taxes, see Note 14 – Income Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For additional information on recently issued accounting pronouncements and other significant accounting principles, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

NOTE 2 – Merger and Restructuring Activity

On October 1, 2007, the Corporation acquired all the outstanding shares of ABN Amro North America Holding Company, parent of LaSalle Bank Corporation (LaSalle), for $21.0 billion in cash. With this acquisition, the Corporation significantly expanded its metropolitan Chicago and Michigan presence by adding LaSalle’s commercial banking clients, retail customers, and banking centers. LaSalle’s results of operations will be included in the Corporation’s results beginning October 1, 2007.

On July 1, 2007, the Corporation acquired all the outstanding shares of U.S. Trust Corporation for $3.3 billion in cash. The Corporation allocated $1.6 billion to goodwill and $1.3 billion to intangible assets as part of the preliminary purchase price allocation. U.S. Trust Corporation’s results of operations were included in the Corporation’s results beginning July 1, 2007.

On January 1, 2006, the Corporation acquired 100 percent of the outstanding stock of MBNA. MBNA’s results of operations were included in the Corporation’s results beginning January 1, 2006.

Merger and Restructuring Charges

Merger and restructuring charges are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income and include incremental costs to integrate the operations of the Corporation and those of acquired entities. These charges represent costs associated with these one-time activities and do not represent ongoing costs of the fully integrated combined organization. The following table presents severance and employee-related charges, systems integrations and related charges, and other merger-related charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Included for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are merger-related charges of $46 million and $61 million related to the U.S. Trust Corporation acquisition and $38 million and $209 million related to the MBNA acquisition.

Merger-related Exit Cost and Restructuring Reserves

As of December 31, 2006, there were $125 million of exit cost reserves related to the MBNA acquisition, including $121 million for severance, relocation and other employee-related expenses and $4 million for contract terminations. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, $35 million was added to the exit cost reserves related to the U.S. Trust Corporation acquisition. Included in the $35 million were $30 million for severance and other employee-related expenses and $5 million for contract terminations. Cash payments of $12 million and $57 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, consisted of $12 million and $55 million of severance, relocation and other employee-related costs. In addition, cash payments of $2 million for contract terminations were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

As of December 31, 2006, there were $67 million of restructuring reserves related to the MBNA acquisition, including $58 million related to severance and other employee-related expenses and $9 million related to contract terminations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, $21 million and $37 million were added to the restructuring reserve consisting of severance and other employee-related expenses associated with the MBNA and U.S. Trust Corporation acquisitions. Cash payments of $7 million and $54 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 consisted of $7 million and $49 million of severance and other employee-related costs. In addition, cash payments of $5 million for contract terminations have reduced this liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

NOTE 4 – Derivatives

All derivatives are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value taking into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Corporation to settle positive and negative positions and offset cash collateral held with the same counterparty on a net basis. For exchange-traded contracts, fair value is based on quoted market prices. For non-exchange traded contracts, fair value is based on dealer quotes, pricing models or quoted prices for

instruments with similar characteristics. The Corporation designates at inception whether the derivative contract is considered hedging or non-hedging for SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) accounting purposes. Derivatives designated as hedges for SFAS 133 purposes are either accounted for as cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges. Derivatives held for trading purposes are included in derivative assets or derivative liabilities with changes in fair value reflected in trading account profits (losses). Other derivatives that are used as economic hedges, but not designated in a hedging relationship for accounting purposes, are also included in derivative assets or derivative liabilities with changes in fair value recorded in mortgage banking income or other income. A detailed discussion of derivative trading activities and asset and liability management (ALM) activities are presented in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Note 4—Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

The following table presents the contract/notional amounts and credit risk amounts at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 of all the Corporation’s derivative positions. These derivative positions are primarily executed in the over-the-counter market. Credit risk associated with derivatives is measured as the net replacement cost in the event the counterparties with contracts in a gain position to the Corporation completely fail to perform under the terms of those contracts. The credit risk amounts take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and on an aggregate basis have been reduced by the cash collateral applied against derivative assets. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the cash collateral applied against derivative assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was $9.6 billion and $7.3 billion. In addition, at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the cash collateral placed against derivative liabilities was $7.4 billion and $6.5 billion.

The average fair value of derivative assets, less cash collateral, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $30.9 billion and $24.3 billion. The average fair value of derivative liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $21.5 billion and $17.1 billion.

Fair Value and Cash Flow Hedges

The Corporation uses various types of interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of its assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates (fair value hedges). The Corporation also uses these types of contracts to protect against changes in the cash flows of its assets and liabilities, and other forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges). During the next 12 months, net losses on derivative instruments included in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) of approximately $1.3 billion ($800 million after-tax) are expected to be reclassified into earnings. These net losses reclassified into earnings are expected to impact net interest income related to the respective hedged items.

The following table summarizes certain information related to the Corporation’s derivative hedges accounted for under SFAS 133 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

The Corporation hedges its net investment in consolidated foreign operations determined to have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar using forward foreign exchange contracts that typically settle in 90 days. The Corporation recorded net derivative losses in accumulated OCI associated with net investment hedges of $266 million and $568 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to losses of $94 million and $296 million for the same periods in the prior year.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation redesignated $909 million of debt securities at amortized cost from AFS to held-to-maturity.

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, accumulated net unrealized losses on AFS debt and marketable equity securities included in accumulated OCI were $3.9 billion and $2.9 billion, net of the related income tax benefit of $2.2 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively.

For all AFS debt and marketable equity securities that are in an unrealized loss position, we have the intent and ability to hold these securities to recovery.

Certain Corporate and Strategic Investments

In August 2007, the Corporation made a $2.0 billion investment in Countrywide Financial Corporation (Countrywide), the largest mortgage lender in the U.S., in the form of a Series B non-voting convertible preferred security yielding 7.25 percent, which is recorded in other assets. The security is convertible into common stock of Countrywide at $18 per share,

which would result in an ownership interest of approximately 16 percent in Countrywide if converted. This investment is accounted for under the cost method of accounting.

The Corporation owns approximately eight percent, or 19.1 billion shares, of the stock of China Construction Bank (CCB) which is recorded in other assets. These shares are accounted for at cost as they are non-transferable until October 2008. The Corporation also holds an option to increase its ownership interest in CCB to 19.1 percent. This option expires in February 2011. The strike price of the option is based on the initial public offering price that steps up on an annual basis beginning at 103 percent and is capped at 118 percent depending on when the option is exercised.

Additionally, the Corporation owns approximately 137.0 million and 41.1 million of preferred and common shares, respectively, of Banco Itaú Holding Financeira S.A. (Banco Itaú) at September 30, 2007 which are recorded in other assets. These shares are accounted for at cost as they are non-transferable until May 2009.

The shares of CCB and Banco Itaú are currently carried at cost but, in accordance with GAAP, will be accounted for as AFS marketable equity securities and carried at fair value with an offset to accumulated OCI beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007 and second quarter of 2008. Dividend income on these investments is accounted for as part of equity investment income. The cost of the CCB and Banco Itaú investments was $3.0 billion and $2.6 billion. The fair values of the CCB shares and Banco Itaú shares were approximately $17.5 billion and $4.5 billion at September 30, 2007.

The Corporation has a 24.9 percent, or $2.7 billion, investment in Grupo Financiero Santander Serfin (Santander) which is recorded in other assets. This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and income is recorded in equity investment income.

NOTE 8 – Securitizations

The Corporation securitizes loans which may be serviced by the Corporation or by third parties. With each securitization the Corporation may retain all or a portion of the securities, subordinated tranches, interest-only strips, subordinated interests in accrued interest and fees on the securitized receivables, and, in some cases, cash reserve accounts, all of which are known as retained interests. These retained interests are recorded in other assets and/or AFS debt securities and are carried at fair value or amounts that approximate fair value with changes recorded in income or accumulated OCI. Changes in the fair value for credit card related interest-only strips are recorded in card income.

As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the aggregate debt securities outstanding for the Corporation’s credit card securitization trusts were $100.4 billion and $96.8 billion. Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of certain interests that continue to be held by the Corporation (included in other assets) from credit card securitizations and the sensitivity of the current fair value of residual cash flows to changes in those assumptions are as follows:


(Dollars in millions)	September 30 2007			December 31 2006
Carrying amount of residual interests (at fair value) ⁽¹⁾	$	3,040		$	2,929
Balance of unamortized securitized loans		102,068			98,295
Weighted average life to call or maturity (in years)		0.3			0.3

Impact on fair value of 25% adverse change		(302	)		(211	)
Residual cash flows discount rate (annual rate)		11.5	%		12.5	%

Impact on fair value of 100 bps adverse change		(13	)		(14	)
Impact on fair value of 200 bps adverse change		(26	)		(27	)

⁽¹⁾

Residual interests include interest-only strips, subordinated tranches, subordinated interests in accrued interest and fees on the securitized receivables and cash reserve accounts which are carried at fair value or amounts that approximate fair value.

The sensitivities in the preceding table are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the amounts indicate, changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of an interest that continues to be held by the Corporation is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Additionally, the Corporation has the ability to hedge interest rate risk associated with retained residual positions. The above sensitivities do not reflect any hedge strategies that may be undertaken to mitigate such risk.

Principal proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving credit card securitizations were $45.7 billion and $135.0 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, and $41.6 billion and $120.8 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

⁽¹⁾

The Corporation consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary that will absorb the majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns of the VIEs or both.

Corporation-sponsored multi-seller conduits

The Corporation administers three multi-seller conduits which provide a low-cost funding alternative to its customers by facilitating their access to the commercial paper market. These customers sell or otherwise transfer assets to the conduits, which in turn issue high-grade, short-term commercial paper that is collateralized by the underlying assets. The Corporation receives fees for providing combinations of liquidity and standby letters of credit (SBLCs) or similar loss protection commitments to the conduits. The Corporation is the primary beneficiary of one conduit which is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation. The Corporation does not consolidate the other two conduits which issued capital notes to independent third parties as it does not expect to absorb a majority of the variability of the conduits. The assets of the consolidated conduit are recorded in AFS and held-to-maturity debt securities and other assets.

At September 30, 2007, the Corporation’s liquidity commitments to these conduits were collateralized by various classes of assets, including student loans of 24 percent, credit card loans of 13 percent, auto loans and trade receivables of eight percent each, and prime residential mortgages of four percent. Less than one percent of these commitments are collateralized by subprime residential mortgages. In addition, 27 percent of the Corporation’s commitments were collateralized by the conduits’ short-term lending obligations to investment funds (e.g., real estate limited partnerships, private equity or venture capital funds). Amounts advanced under these obligations are expected to be repaid when the investment funds issue capital calls to their qualified equity investors. Net revenues earned from fees associated with these commitments were $51 million and $135 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, and $34 million and $89 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Collateralized debt obligations

Collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) are special purpose entities (SPEs) that hold diversified pools of fixed income securities. They issue multiple tranches of debt securities, including commercial paper, and equity securities. The Corporation receives fees for structuring the CDOs and/or placing debt securities with third party investors.

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Corporation provided liquidity support in the form of written put options on $10.0 billion and $2.1 billion of commercial paper issued by CDOs including $3.2 billion issued by the consolidated CDO at September 30, 2007. The commercial paper is the most senior class of securities issued by the CDOs and benefits from the subordination of all other securities, including AAA-rated securities, issued by the CDOs. The Corporation is obligated under the written put options to provide funding to the CDOs by purchasing the commercial paper at predetermined contractual yields in the event of a severe disruption in the short-term funding market. See Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the written put options. These written put options are recorded as derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in trading account profits (losses). Derivative activity related to these entities is included in Note 4 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The assets of the consolidated conduit are recorded in trading account assets.

The Corporation also administers a CDO conduit that obtains funds by issuing commercial paper to third party investors. The conduit held $5.5 billion of assets at both September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisting of super senior tranches of debt securities issued by other CDOs. These securities benefit from overcollateralization exceeding the amount that would be required for a AAA rating. The Corporation provides liquidity support equal to the amount of assets in this conduit which obligates it to purchase the commercial paper at a predetermined contractual yield in the event of a severe disruption in the short-term funding market.

Net revenues earned from fees associated with these liquidity commitments were $2 million and $5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, and $1 million and $2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Leveraged lease trusts

The Corporation’s net investment in leveraged lease trusts totaled $6.2 billion and $8.6 billion at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. These amounts, which were recorded in loans and leases, represent the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure to these entities in the unlikely event that the leveraged lease investments become worthless. Debt issued by the leveraged lease trusts is nonrecourse to the Corporation. The Corporation has no liquidity exposure to these leveraged lease trusts.

Other

Other consolidated VIEs at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted primarily of securitization vehicles, including an asset acquisition conduit that holds securities on our behalf and term securitization vehicles that did not meet qualified special purpose entity (QSPE) status, as well as managed investment vehicles that invest in financial assets, primarily debt securities. The Corporation’s maximum exposure to loss of these VIEs included $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion of liquidity exposure to the consolidated asset acquisition conduit and $348 million and $272 million of liquidity exposure to consolidated trusts that hold municipal bonds at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The assets of these consolidated VIEs were recorded in trading account assets, AFS debt securities and other assets. Other unconsolidated VIEs at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisted primarily of securitization vehicles, managed investment vehicles that invest in financial assets, primarily debt securities, and investments in affordable housing investment partnerships. Revenues associated with administration, asset management, liquidity, and other services were $4 million and $13 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $5 million and $17 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Amortization of intangibles expense was $429 million and $441 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The Corporation estimates aggregate amortization expense will be approximately $425 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. In addition, the Corporation estimates that aggregate amortization expense will be approximately $1.6 billion, $1.3 billion, $1.3 billion, $1.0 billion and $900 million for 2008 through 2012, respectively. These estimates exclude the impact of the LaSalle acquisition.

NOTE 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into a number of off-balance sheet commitments. These commitments expose the Corporation to varying degrees of credit and market risk and are subject to the same credit and market risk limitation reviews as those instruments recorded on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Credit Extension Commitments

The Corporation enters into commitments to extend credit such as loan commitments, SBLCs and commercial letters of credit to meet the financing needs of its customers. For additional information on commitments to extend credit, see Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007. The unfunded legally binding lending commitments shown in the following table are net of amounts distributed (e.g., syndicated) to other financial institutions of $35.4 billion and $30.5 billion at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The carrying amount of these commitments, excluding fair value adjustments as discussed below, was $422 million and $444 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and was recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities. At September 30, 2007, the carrying amount included deferred revenue of $30 million and a reserve for unfunded legally binding lending commitments of $392 million. At December 31, 2006, the carrying amount included deferred revenue of $47 million and a reserve for unfunded legally binding lending commitments of $397 million.

The table below also includes the notional value of commitments of $20.2 billion which are measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159 at September 30, 2007. However, the table below excludes the fair value adjustment of $454 million on these commitments that was recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities. See Note 15 – Fair Value Disclosures to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the adoption of SFAS 159.

⁽¹⁾

Includes commitments to VIEs disclosed in Note 9 – Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements, including $50.0 billion and $29.8 billion to corporation-sponsored multi-seller conduits and $5.5 billion for both periods to CDOs at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Also includes commitments to SPEs that are not disclosed in Note 9 – Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements because the Corporation does not hold a significant variable interest or because they are QSPEs, including $4.3 billion and $2.3 billion to municipal bond trusts and $2.7 billion and $4.6 billion to customer-sponsored conduits at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Legally binding commitments to extend credit generally have specified rates and maturities. Certain of these commitments have adverse change clauses that help to protect the Corporation against deterioration in the borrowers’ ability to pay.

The Corporation also facilitates bridge financing (high grade debt, high yield debt and equity) to fund acquisitions, recapitalizations and other short-term needs as well as provide syndicated financing for clients. These concentrations are managed in part through our established “originate to distribute” strategy. These client transactions are sometimes large and leveraged. They can also have a higher degree of risk as we are providing offers or commitments for various components of the clients’ capital structures, including lower rated unsecured and subordinated debt tranches and/or equity. In many cases, these offers to finance will not be accepted. If accepted, these conditional commitments are often retired prior to or shortly following funding via the placement of securities, syndication or the client’s decision to terminate. Where we have a commitment and there is a market disruption or other unexpected event, there may be heightened exposure in the portfolios, and higher potential for loss, unless an orderly disposition of the exposure can be made. The Corporation does not believe these commitments are necessarily indicative of actual risk or funding requirements as the commitments may expire unused, the borrower may not be successful in completing the proposed transaction or may utilize multiple financing sources, including other investment and commercial banks, as well as accessing the general capital markets instead of drawing on the commitment. In addition, the Corporation may reduce its portion of the commitment through syndications to investors and/or lenders prior to funding. Therefore, these commitments are generally significantly greater than the amounts the Corporation will ultimately fund. Additionally, the borrower’s ability to draw on the commitment may be subject to there being no material adverse change in the borrower’s financial condition, among other factors. Commitments also generally contain certain flexible pricing features to adjust for changing market conditions prior to closing. The Corporation’s share of the leveraged finance forward calendar was $28.1 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to $33.5 billion at June 30, 2007 with the change being transactions that were syndicated of $700 million, those closed and not yet syndicated of $4.3 billion and client-terminated transactions of $8.4 billion, offset by new transactions of $8.1 billion.

During the three months ended September 30, 2007, there were extreme dislocations in the financial markets in which the Corporation operates and it was unable to distribute all of its funded commitments in excess of designated hold positions via the placement of securities or syndication. Much of the impact associated with corporate credit was centered in the leveraged finance space. At September 30, 2007, the Corporation’s funded exposure in excess of designated hold positions for the leveraged finance business was $4.3 billion. These positions are carried in other assets at the lower of cost or market.

The Corporation recorded a loss of $247 million ($97 million related to funded loans and $150 million related to unfunded commitments), net of fees of $528 million, in earnings related to funded exposures in excess of designated hold positions and the Corporation’s share of the forward calendar, principally leveraged loans and loan commitments.

Other Commitments

Principal Investments and Other Equity Investments

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Corporation had unfunded equity investment commitments of approximately $4.2 billion and $2.8 billion. These commitments primarily relate to bridge equity commitments and those equity commitments included in the Corporation’s Principal Investing business, which is comprised of a diversified portfolio of investments in privately-held and publicly-traded companies at all stages of their life cycle from start-up to buyout. These investments are made either directly in a company or held through a fund and are accounted for at fair value. The Corporation selectively provides equity bridge financing to facilitate its clients’ investment activities. These conditional commitments are often retired prior to or shortly following funding via syndication or the client’s decision to terminate. Where the Corporation has a binding equity bridge commitment and there is a market disruption or other unexpected event, there may be heightened exposure in the portfolio and higher potential for loss, unless an orderly disposition of the exposure can be made. Included in the Corporation’s unfunded equity investment commitments were unfunded bridge equity commitments of $1.8 billion and $1.2 billion at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. At September 30, 2007, the Corporation had funded $197 million of equity bridges that it still intends to distribute. These equity instruments were recorded at fair value.

U.S. Government Guaranteed Charge Cards

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the unfunded lending commitments related to charge cards (nonrevolving card lines) to individuals and government entities guaranteed by the U.S. government in the amount of $10.7 billion and $9.6 billion were not included in credit card line commitments in the previous table. The outstanding balances related to these charge cards were $265 million and $193 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Loan Purchases

At September 30, 2007, the Corporation had no whole mortgage loan purchase commitments related to our ALM activities. At December 31, 2006, the Corporation had whole mortgage loan purchase commitments related to our ALM activities of $8.5 billion, all of which settled in the first quarter of 2007.

In 2005, the Corporation entered into an agreement for the committed purchase of retail automotive loans over a five-year period, ending June 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Corporation purchased $4.5 billion of loans under this agreement. In 2006, the Corporation purchased $7.5 billion of such loans. Under the agreement, the Corporation is committed to purchase up to $5.0 billion for the fiscal period July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008 and $10.0 billion in each of the agreement’s following two fiscal years. As of September 30, 2007, the remaining commitment amount was $25.0 billion.

Operating Leases

The Corporation is a party to operating leases for certain of its premises and equipment. Commitments under these leases approximate $1.5 billion, $1.6 billion, $1.4 billion, $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion for 2007 through 2011, respectively, and $7.9 billion for all years thereafter.

Other Commitments

The Corporation provided support to a cash fund advised within its Global Wealth and Investment Management business segment by purchasing certain assets for cash at fair market value and by committing to provide a limited amount of capital to the fund. In addition, the Corporation may from time to time, but is under no obligation to, provide additional support to funds advised within the Global Wealth and Investment Management business segment. Future support, if any, may take the form of a commitment to provide capital to the funds or to purchase certain assets from the funds.

Other Guarantees

Written Put Options

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Corporation provided liquidity support in the form of written put options on $10.0 billion and $2.1 billion of commercial paper issued by CDOs, including $3.2 billion issued by a consolidated CDO at September 30, 2007. The commercial paper is the most senior class of securities issued by the CDOs and benefits from the subordination of all other securities, including AAA-rated securities, issued by the CDOs. The Corporation is obligated under the written put options to provide funding to the CDOs by purchasing the commercial paper at predetermined contractual yields in the event of a severe disruption in the short-term funding market. These agreements have various maturities ranging from two to five years. The underlying collateral in the CDOs includes mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and CDO securities issued by other vehicles. These written put options are recorded as derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in trading account profits (losses). Derivative activity related to these entities is included in Note 4 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Merchant Services

The Corporation provides credit and debit card processing services to various merchants by processing credit and debit card transactions on their behalf. In connection with these services, a liability may arise in the event of a billing dispute between the merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder’s favor and the merchant defaults upon its obligation to reimburse the cardholder. A cardholder, through its issuing bank, generally has until the later of up to six months after the date a transaction is processed or the delivery of the product or service to present a chargeback to the Corporation as the merchant processor. If the Corporation is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, it bears the loss for the amount paid to the cardholder. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Corporation processed $90.1 billion and $97.0 billion of transactions and recorded losses as a result of these chargebacks of $2 million and $4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Corporation processed $264.5 billion and $282.6 billion of transactions and recorded losses as a result of these chargebacks of $10 million and $13 million.

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Corporation held as collateral approximately $21 million and $32 million of merchant escrow deposits which the Corporation has the right to offset against amounts due from the individual merchants. The Corporation also has the right to offset any payments with cash flows otherwise due to the merchant. Accordingly, the Corporation believes that the maximum potential exposure is not representative of the actual potential loss exposure. The Corporation believes the maximum potential exposure for chargebacks would not exceed the total amount of merchant transactions processed through Visa and MasterCard for the last six months, which represents the claim period for the cardholder, plus any outstanding delayed-delivery transactions. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the maximum potential exposure totaled approximately $150.2 billion and $176.0 billion.

⁽¹⁾

Reduced shareholders’ equity by $3.7 billion and increased diluted earnings per common share by approximately $0.02 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. These repurchases were partially offset by the issuance of approximately 49.7 million shares of common stock under employee plans, which increased shareholders’ equity by $2.3 billion, net of $113 million of deferred compensation related to restricted stock awards, and decreased diluted earnings per common share by approximately $0.01 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

⁽²⁾

On January 24, 2007, the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 200 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock at an aggregate cost not to exceed $14.0 billion and is limited to a period of 12 to 18 months. On April 26, 2006, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 200 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock at an aggregate cost not to exceed $12.0 billion and to be completed within a period of 12 to 18 months. This repurchase plan was completed during the third quarter of 2007.

⁽³⁾

Reduced shareholders’ equity by $11.1 billion and increased diluted earnings per common share by approximately $0.06 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. These repurchases were partially offset by the issuance of approximately 98.3 million shares of common stock under employee plans, which increased shareholders’ equity by $3.9 billion, net of $135 million of deferred compensation related to restricted stock awards, and decreased diluted earnings per common share by approximately $0.03 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

The Corporation may repurchase shares, from time to time, in the open market or in private transactions through the Corporation’s approved repurchase program. The Corporation expects to continue to repurchase a number of shares of common stock comparable to any shares issued under the Corporation’s employee stock plans.

In October 2007, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.64 per share, payable on December 28, 2007 to common shareholders of record on December 7, 2007.

In July 2007, the Board increased the regular quarterly cash dividend on common stock 14 percent from $0.56 to $0.64 per share, payable on September 28, 2007 to common shareholders of record on September 7, 2007.

In April 2007, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.56 per share, payable on June 22, 2007 to common shareholders of record on June 1, 2007.

Preferred Stock Issuance

In September 2007, the Corporation issued 22 thousand shares of Bank of America Corporation 6.625% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series I (Series I Preferred Stock) with a par value of $0.01 per share for $550 million. Ownership is held in the form of depositary shares, each representing a 1/1,000^th interest in a share of Series I Preferred Stock, paying a quarterly cash dividend on the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share of Series I Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 6.625 percent. On any dividend date on or after October 1, 2017, the Corporation may redeem Series I Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at its option, at $25,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

NOTE 13 – Pension and Postretirement Plans

The Corporation sponsors noncontributory trusteed qualified pension plans that cover substantially all officers and employees, a number of noncontributory nonqualified pension plans, and postretirement health and life plans. The Bank of America Pension Plan (the Pension Plan) allows participants to select from various earnings measures, which are based on the returns of certain funds or common stock of the Corporation. The participant-selected earnings measures determine the earnings rate on the individual participant account balances in the Pension Plan. A detailed discussion of these plans is presented in Note 16 – Employee Benefit Plans to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007. In July 2007, the Corporation assumed the obligations related to the plans of the former U.S. Trust Corporation, which were not material.

Net periodic benefit cost (income) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 included the following components:

The Corporation expects to contribute $147 million and $95 million in 2007 to its Nonqualified Pension Plans and Postretirement Health and Life Plans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Corporation contributed $138 million and $71 million to these plans.

NOTE 14 – Income Taxes

Under FIN 48, income tax benefits are recognized and measured based upon a two-step model: 1) a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits in order to be recognized, and 2) the benefit is measured as the largest dollar amount of that position that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon settlement. The difference between the benefit recognized for a position in accordance with this FIN 48 model and the tax benefit claimed on a tax return is referred to as an unrecognized tax benefit (UTB). As of January 1, 2007, the balance of the Corporation’s UTBs, excluding any related accrual for interest, was $2.7 billion, of which $1.5 billion would, if recognized, affect the Corporation’s effective tax rate. Included in the $2.7 billion UTB balance are some items the recognition of which would not affect the effective tax rate, such as the tax effect of certain temporary differences, the portion of gross state UTBs that would be offset by the tax benefit of the associated federal deduction and UTBs related to acquired entities that will impact goodwill if recognized.

During the second quarter of 2007, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed the examination phase of the audit of the Corporation’s federal income tax returns for the years 2000 through 2002 and issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR) to the Corporation. Included in this RAR were proposed adjustments to disallow certain tax deductions and include additional

taxable income relating to certain leveraged leases referred to by the IRS as “SILOs.” The Corporation filed a protest of this proposed adjustment as well as certain other of the RAR adjustments with the Appeals office of the IRS. We believe our tax treatment of the SILO position as true leases for U.S. income tax purposes is supported by the relevant facts and tax authorities. Further, issuance of the RAR did not change management’s estimate of the ultimate resolution of positions included in the UTB balance. However, final determination of the audit or changes in the Corporation’s estimate may result in future income tax expense or benefit. The Corporation’s federal income tax returns for the years 2003 and 2004 remain under examination by the IRS. In addition, the federal income tax returns of FleetBoston Financial Corporation (FleetBoston) are currently under examination for the years 1997 through March 31, 2004. Upon the final determination of each of the above audits, the UTB balance will decrease, since resolved items would be removed from the balance whether their resolution resulted in payment or recognition. Management does not expect these matters to be concluded within the next 12 months. Finally, the audit of the federal income tax returns of MBNA for the tax years 2001 through 2004 was completed during the second quarter of 2007. The completion of the MBNA audit did not significantly impact the Corporation’s effective tax rate or UTB balance. All tax years subsequent to the above years remain open to examination.

As of September 30, 2007, the Corporation’s accrual for interest and penalties that relate to income taxes, net of taxes and net of payments and deposits, including applicable interest on certain leveraged lease positions, was $493 million. This amount represents a decrease from January 1, 2007, primarily as a result of payments to and deposits with the IRS of tax and interest to stop the potential accrual of interest on certain items relating to the examinations. Under FIN 48 the Corporation continues its policy of accruing income-tax-related interest and penalties (if applicable) within income tax expense.

NOTE 15 – Fair Value Disclosures

Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted SFAS 157, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. As described more fully below, SFAS 157 also eliminated the deferral of gains and losses at inception of certain derivative contracts whose fair value was not evidenced by market observable data. SFAS 157 requires that the impact of this change in accounting for derivative contracts be recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption.

The Corporation also adopted SFAS 159 on January 1, 2007. SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Corporation elected to adopt the fair value option for certain financial instruments on the adoption date. SFAS 159 requires that the difference between the carrying value before election of the fair value option and the fair value of these instruments be recorded as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption.

The following table summarizes the impact of the change in accounting for derivative contracts described above and the impact of adopting the fair value option for certain financial instruments on January 1, 2007. Amounts shown represent the carrying value of the affected instruments before and after the changes in accounting resulting from the adoption of SFAS 157 and SFAS 159.

⁽¹⁾

The transition adjustment reflects the impact of recognizing previously deferred gains and losses as a result of the rescission of certain requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 02-3, “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities” (EITF 02-3) in accordance with SFAS 157.

⁽²⁾

Includes loans to certain large corporate clients. The ending balance at December 31, 2006 and the transition adjustment were net of a $32 million reduction in the allowance for loan and lease losses.

⁽³⁾

The January 1, 2007 balance after adoption represents the fair value of certain unfunded commercial loan commitments. The December 31, 2006 balance prior to adoption represents the reserve for unfunded lending commitments associated with these commitments.

⁽⁴⁾

Other assets include loans held-for-sale. No transition adjustment was recorded for the loans held-for-sale because they were already recorded at fair value pursuant to lower of cost or market accounting.

⁽⁵⁾

Changes in fair value of these AFS debt securities resulting from foreign currency exposure, which is the primary driver of fair value for these securities, had previously been hedged by derivatives that qualified for fair value hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS 133. As a result, there was no transition adjustment. Following the election of the fair value option, these AFS debt securities have been transferred to trading account assets.

⁽⁶⁾

Includes structured reverse repurchase agreements that were hedged with derivatives in accordance with SFAS 133.

⁽⁷⁾

Includes long-term fixed rate deposits that were economically hedged with derivatives.

Fair Value Option

Corporate Loans and Loan Commitments

The Corporation elected to account for certain large corporate loans and loan commitments which exceeded the Corporation’s single name credit risk concentration guidelines at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159. Lending commitments, both funded and unfunded, are actively managed and monitored, and, as appropriate, credit risk for these lending relationships may be mitigated through the use of credit derivatives, with our credit view and market perspectives determining the size and timing of the hedging activity. These credit derivatives do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 and are therefore carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other income. Electing the fair value option allows the Corporation to account for these loans and loan commitments at fair value, which is more consistent with management’s view of the underlying economics and the manner in which they are managed. In addition, accounting for these loans and loan commitments at fair value reduces the accounting asymmetry that would otherwise result from carrying the loans at historical cost and the credit derivatives at fair value.

Fair values for the loans and loan commitments are based on market prices, where available, or discounted cash flows using market-based credit spreads of comparable debt instruments or credit derivatives of the specific borrower or

comparable borrowers. Results of discounted cash flow calculations may be adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect other market conditions or the perceived credit risk of the borrower.

At September 30, 2007, funded loans which the Corporation has elected to fair value had an aggregate fair value of $4.53 billion recorded in loans and leases and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $4.67 billion. At September 30, 2007, unfunded loan commitments that the Corporation has elected to fair value had an aggregate fair value of $454 million recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities and an aggregate committed exposure of $20.2 billion. Interest income on these loans is recorded in interest and fees on loans and leases. At September 30, 2007, none of these loans were 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest or had been placed on nonaccrual status. Net losses resulting from changes in fair value of these loans and loan commitments of $140 million and $180 million were recorded in other income and $2 million and $3 million were recorded in trading account profits (losses) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. These losses were significantly attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. Following adoption of SFAS 159, an immaterial amount of direct loan origination fees and costs related to items for which the fair value option was elected were recognized in earnings. Previously, these items would have been capitalized and amortized to earnings over the life of the loans.

Loans Held-for-Sale

The Corporation also elected to account for certain loans held-for-sale at fair value. Electing to use fair value allows a better offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. The Corporation has not elected to fair value other loans held-for-sale primarily because these loans are floating rate loans that are not economically hedged using derivative instruments. Fair values for loans held-for-sale are based on quoted market prices, where available, or are determined by discounting estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the Corporation’s current origination rates for similar loans and adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk. At September 30, 2007, residential mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans, and other loans held-for-sale for which the fair value option was elected had an aggregate fair value of $16.95 billion and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $17.05 billion and were recorded in other assets. Interest income on these loans is recorded in interest and fees on loans and leases. Net gains (losses) resulting from changes in fair value of these loans, including realized gains (losses) on sale, of $81 million and $120 million were recorded in mortgage banking income, $59 million and $(186) million were recorded in trading account profits (losses), and $(46) million and $(53) million were recorded in other income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. These changes in fair value are mostly offset by hedging activities. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk. The adoption of SFAS 159 resulted in an increase of $119 million and $180 million in mortgage banking income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, and in an increase of $66 million and $131 million in noninterest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159, mortgage loan origination costs are recognized in noninterest expense when incurred. Previously, mortgage loan origination costs would have been capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the loans and recognized as a reduction of mortgage banking income upon the sale of such loans.

Debt Securities

Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation elected to fair value $3.7 billion of AFS debt securities through earnings. Changes in fair value resulting from foreign currency exposure, which is the primary driver of fair value for these securities, had previously been hedged by derivatives that qualified for fair value hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS 133. Electing the fair value option allows the Corporation to eliminate the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 without introducing accounting volatility. Following election of the fair value option, these securities were reclassified to trading account assets. The Corporation did not elect the fair value option for other AFS debt securities because they are not hedged by derivatives that qualified for hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS 133.

Structured Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Corporation elected to fair value certain structured reverse repurchase agreements which were hedged with derivatives which qualified for fair value hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS 133. Election of the fair value option allows the Corporation to reduce the burden of complying with the requirements of hedge accounting under SFAS 133. At September 30, 2007, these instruments had an aggregate fair value of $2.56 billion and a principal balance of $2.53 billion recorded in federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell. Interest earned on these instruments continues to be recorded in interest income. Net gains resulting from changes in fair value of these instruments of $8 million and $16 million were recorded in other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Corporation

did not elect to fair value other financial instruments within the same balance sheet category because they are not economically hedged using derivatives.

Long-term Deposits

The Corporation elected to fair value certain long-term fixed rate deposits which are economically hedged with derivatives. At September 30, 2007, these instruments had an aggregate fair value of $521 million and principal balance of $531 million recorded in interest-bearing deposits. Interest paid on these instruments continues to be recorded in interest expense. Net losses resulting from changes in fair value of these instruments of $25 million and $4 million were recorded in other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Election of the fair value option will allow the Corporation to reduce the accounting volatility that would otherwise result from the accounting asymmetry created by accounting for the financial instruments at historical cost and the economic hedges at fair value. The Corporation did not elect to fair value other financial instruments within the same balance sheet category because they are not economically hedged using derivatives.

Fair Value Measurement

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) 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 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2

Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities, corporate debt securities, derivative contracts and residential mortgage loans held-for-sale.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), asset-backed securities, and highly structured or long-term derivative contracts.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 157, EITF 02-3 prohibited the recognition of gains and losses at inception of a derivative contract unless the fair value of the contract was evidenced by a quoted price in an active market, an observable price or other market transaction, or other observable data. SFAS 157 rescinded this requirement, resulting in the recognition of previously deferred gains and losses as an increase to the beginning balance of retained earnings of $22 million (pre-tax).

Valuations of derivative assets and liabilities reflect the value of the instrument including the values associated with counterparty risk. With the issuance of SFAS 157, the accounting industry clarified that these values must also take into account the Corporation’s own credit standing, thus including in the valuation of the derivative instrument the value of the net credit differential between the counterparties to the derivative contract. Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation updated its methodology to calculate the impact of both the counterparty and its own credit standing. The net impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was not material.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial instruments for which the Corporation has elected the fair value option, are summarized below:

⁽¹⁾

Amounts represent the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Corporation to settle positive and negative positions and also cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties.

⁽²⁾

Amounts represent items for which the Corporation has elected the fair value option under SFAS 159.

⁽³⁾

Certain securities, primarily U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities, had been classified as Level 1 measurements at March 31, 2007. We subsequently determined that these securities are more appropriately classified as Level 2 measurements. This change in classification did not impact the recorded fair value of the securities.

⁽⁴⁾

Loans and leases at September 30, 2007 included $20.4 billion of leases that were not eligible for the fair value option as they were specifically excluded from fair value option election in accordance with SFAS 159.

⁽⁵⁾

Other assets include equity investments held by Principal Investing, AFS equity investments and certain retained interests in securitization vehicles, including interest-only strips, all of which were carried at fair value prior to the adoption of SFAS 159; and loans held-for-sale for which the Corporation has elected the fair value option under SFAS 159. Substantially all of other assets are eligible for fair value accounting at September 30, 2007.

The table below presents a reconciliation for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Level 3 loans and loan commitments are carried at fair value due to adoption of the fair value option, as described on page 31. Other Level 3 instruments presented in the table, including derivatives, trading account assets, AFS debt securities, MSRs, certain equity investments and retained interests in securitizations, were carried at fair value prior to the adoption of SFAS 159. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, certain financial instruments, including certain asset-backed securities issued by CDOs and portfolios of loans held-for-sale, were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to the lack of current observable market activity. These instruments were valued using pricing models and discounted cash flow methodologies incorporating assumptions that, in management’s judgment, reflect the assumptions a marketplace participant would use at September 30, 2007.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., loans held-for-sale, unfunded loan commitments held-for-sale and commercial and residential reverse mortgage MSRs all of which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value). At September 30, 2007, loans held-for-sale for which the Corporation had not elected the fair value option which had an aggregate cost of $12.13 billion had been written down to fair value of $11.69 billion (of which $3.99 billion and $7.70 billion were classified as Level 2 and Level 3 measures within the fair value hierarchy). In addition, unfunded loan commitments held-for-sale and the Corporation’s share of the forward calendar were written down by $150 million and were recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities at September 30, 2007 all of which were classified as a Level 3 measure within the fair value hierarchy. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, losses of $207 million and $233 million were recorded in other income (primarily leveraged loans and loan commitments held-for-sale), losses of $6 million and $10 million were recorded in mortgage banking income (primarily consumer mortgage loans held-for-sale), and losses of $44 million and $47 million were recorded in trading account profits (losses) (primarily commercial mortgage loans and loan commitments held-for-sale). During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, lease residuals for which the Corporation had not elected the fair value option, with an aggregate cost of $65 million had been written down to their then fair value of $52 million which was classified as a Level 2 measure within the fair value hierarchy. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, other than temporary impairment charges of $13 million relating to lease residuals were recorded in other income to write the current carrying amount down to fair value. There were no other than temporary impairment charges relating to lease residuals recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

NOTE 16 – Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Corporation accounts for residential first mortgage MSRs at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income in mortgage banking income. The Corporation economically hedges these MSRs with certain derivatives such as options and interest rate swaps.

The following table presents activity for residential first mortgage MSRs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Balance, September 30	$	3,179		$	2,932		$	3,179		$	2,932

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, other changes in MSR market value of $(174) million and $325 million reflect changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, mostly due to changes in interest rates. These amounts do not include $23 million and $63 million resulting from the actual cash received exceeding expected prepayments. The total of these amounts of $(151) million and $388 million is included in the line “Mortgage banking income” in the table “Total Fair Value Measurements” in Note 15 – Fair Value Disclosures to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The key economic assumptions used in valuations of MSRs included modeled prepayment rates and resultant weighted average lives of the MSRs and the option adjusted spread levels. Commercial and residential reverse mortgage MSRs are accounted for using the amortization method (i.e., lower of cost or market). Commercial and residential reverse mortgage MSRs totaled $238 million at September 30, 2007, and commercial MSRs totaled $176 million at December 31, 2006 and are not included in the table above.

NOTE 17 – Business Segment Information

The Corporation reports the results of its operations through three business segments: Global Consumer and Small Business Banking (GCSBB), Global Corporate and Investment Banking (GCIB) and Global Wealth and Investment Management (GWIM). The Corporation may periodically reclassify business segment results based on modifications to its management reporting methodologies and changes in organizational alignment.

Global Consumer and Small Business Banking

GCSBB provides a diversified range of products and services to individuals and small businesses. The Corporation reports GCSBB’s results, specifically credit card, business card and certain unsecured lending portfolios, on a managed basis. This basis of presentation excludes the Corporation’s securitized mortgage and home equity portfolios for which the Corporation retains servicing. Reporting on a managed basis is consistent with the way that management as well as analysts evaluate the results of GCSBB. Managed basis assumes that securitized loans were not sold and presents earnings on these loans in a manner similar to the way loans that have not been sold (i.e., held loans) are presented. Loan securitization is an alternative funding process that is used by the Corporation to diversify funding sources. Loan securitization removes loans from the Consolidated Balance Sheet through the sale of loans to an off-balance sheet QSPE which is excluded from the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP.

The performance of the managed portfolio is important in understanding GCSBB’s results as it demonstrates the results of the entire portfolio serviced by the business. Securitized loans continue to be serviced by the business and are subject to the same underwriting standards and ongoing monitoring as held loans. In addition, retained excess servicing income is exposed to similar credit risk and repricing of interest rates as held loans. GCSBB’s managed income statement line items differ from a held basis as follows:

•

Managed net interest income includes GCSBB’s net interest income on held loans and interest income on the securitized loans less the internal funds transfer pricing allocation related to securitized loans.

•

Managed noninterest income includes GCSBB’s noninterest income on a held basis less the reclassification of certain components of card income (e.g., excess servicing income) to record managed net interest income and provision for credit losses. Noninterest income, both on a held and managed basis, also includes the impact of adjustments to the interest-only strip that are recorded in card income as management continues to manage this impact within GCSBB.

•

Provision for credit losses represents the provision for credit losses on held loans combined with realized credit losses associated with the securitized loan portfolio.

Global Corporate and Investment Banking

GCIB provides a wide range of financial services to both the Corporation’s issuer and investor clients that range from business banking clients to large international corporate and institutional investor clients using a strategy to deliver value-added financial products and advisory solutions.

Global Wealth and Investment Management

GWIM offers investment and brokerage services, estate management, financial planning services, fiduciary management, credit and banking expertise, and diversified asset management products to institutional clients, as well as affluent and high net-worth individuals. GWIM also includes the impact of migrated qualifying affluent customers, including their related deposit balances, from GCSBB. After migration, the associated net interest income, service charges and noninterest expense on the deposit balances is recorded in GWIM.

All Other

All Other consists of equity investment activities including Principal Investing, Corporate Investments and Strategic Investments, the residual impact of the allowance for credit losses and the cost allocation processes, merger and restructuring charges, intersegment eliminations, and the results of certain businesses that are expected to be or have been sold or are in the process of being liquidated (e.g., the Corporation’s Brazilian operations, Asia Commercial Banking business and operations in Chile and Uruguay). All Other also includes certain amounts associated with ALM activities, including the residual impact of funds transfer pricing allocation methodologies, amounts associated with the change in the value of derivatives used as economic hedges of interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations that did not qualify for SFAS 133 hedge accounting treatment, foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” revaluation of foreign denominated debt issuances, certain gains (losses) on sales of whole mortgage loans, and gains (losses) on sales of debt securities. In addition, GCSBB is reported on a managed basis which includes a “securitization impact” adjustment which has the effect of assuming that loans that have been securitized were not sold and presenting these loans in a manner similar to the way loans that have not been sold are presented. All Other’s results include a corresponding “securitization offset” which removes the impact of these securitized loans in order to present the consolidated results of the Corporation on a GAAP basis (i.e., held basis).

Basis of Presentation

Total revenue, net of interest expense, includes net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis and noninterest income. The adjustment of net interest income to a FTE basis results in a corresponding increase in income tax expense. The net interest income of the businesses includes the results of a funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics. Net interest income of the business segments also includes an allocation of net interest income generated by the Corporation’s ALM activities.

Certain expenses not directly attributable to a specific business segment are allocated to the segments based on pre-determined means. The most significant of these expenses include data processing costs, item processing costs and certain centralized or shared functions. Data processing costs are allocated to the segments based on equipment usage. Item processing costs are allocated to the segments based on the volume of items processed for each segment. The costs of certain centralized or shared functions are allocated based on methodologies which reflect utilization.

The following tables present total revenue, net of interest expense, on a FTE basis and net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and total assets at September 30, 2007 and 2006 for each business segment, as well as All Other.

⁽⁵⁾

GCSBB is reported on a managed basis which includes a “securitization impact” adjustment which has the effect of presenting securitized loans in a manner similar to the way loans that have not been sold are presented. All Other’s results include a corresponding “securitization offset” which removes the impact of these securitized loans in order to present the consolidated results of the Corporation on a held basis. The tables below reconcile GCSBB and All Other to a held basis by reclassifying net interest income, all other income and realized credit losses associated with the securitized loans to card income.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, our forward-looking statements. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would” and “could” are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Readers of the Form 10-Q of Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Corporation) should not rely solely on the forward-looking statements and should consider all uncertainties and risks throughout this report as well as those discussed under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The statements are representative only as of the date they are made, and the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

Possible events or factors that could cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements include the following: changes in general economic conditions and economic conditions in the geographic regions and industries in which the Corporation operates which may affect, among other things, the level of nonperforming assets, charge-offs and provision expense; changes in the interest rate environment and market liquidity which may reduce interest margins, impact funding sources and effect the ability to originate and distribute financial products in the primary and secondary markets; changes in foreign exchange rates; adverse movements and volatility in debt and equity capital markets; changes in market rates and prices which may adversely impact the value of financial products including securities, loans, deposits, debt and derivative financial instruments, and other similar financial instruments; political conditions and related actions by the United States abroad which may adversely affect the Corporation’s businesses and economic conditions as a whole; liabilities resulting from litigation and regulatory investigations, including costs, expenses, settlements and judgments; changes in domestic or foreign tax laws, rules and regulations as well as court, Internal Revenue Service or other governmental agencies’ interpretations thereof; various monetary and fiscal policies and regulations, including those determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, state regulators and the Financial Services Authority; changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations; competition with other local, regional and international banks, thrifts, credit unions and other nonbank financial institutions; ability to grow core businesses; ability to develop and introduce new banking-related products, services and enhancements, and gain market acceptance of such products; mergers and acquisitions and their integration into the Corporation; decisions to downsize, sell or close units or otherwise change the business mix of the Corporation; and management’s ability to manage these and other risks.

The Corporation, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, operates in 30 states, the District of Columbia and 45 foreign countries. The Corporation provides a diversified range of banking and nonbanking financial services and products domestically and internationally through three business segments: Global Consumer and Small Business Banking (GCSBB), Global Corporate and Investment Banking (GCIB), and Global Wealth and Investment Management (GWIM).

At September 30, 2007, the Corporation had $1.6 trillion in assets and approximately 198 thousand full-time equivalent employees. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements referred to in the MD&A are incorporated by reference into the MD&A. Throughout the MD&A, we use certain acronyms and abbreviations which are defined in the Glossary beginning on page 131. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Recent Events

During the third quarter, extreme dislocations emerged in the financial markets, including leveraged finance, subprime mortgage, and the commercial paper markets, and these dislocations were further compounded by the decoupling of typical correlations in the various markets in which we participate. These conditions created less liquidity, a flight to quality, greater volatility, widening of credit spreads and a lack of price transparency. The Corporation’s Capital Markets and Advisory Services business within the GCIB segment operates in these markets, either directly or indirectly, through exposures in securities, loans, derivatives and other commitments and has been and will continue to be adversely impacted by this market disruption. We believe it may take more time for the markets to return to a more normal environment with tighter credit spreads and greater liquidity. For further discussion on how these events affected our businesses and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, refer to the GCIB discussion beginning on page 73.

Subsequent to September 30, 2007 the credit ratings of certain structured securities (i.e., CDOs) were downgraded which among other things triggered further widening of credit spreads for this type of security. We have been an active participant in the CDO market and maintain ongoing exposure to these securities (see pages 78 and 90 for a further discussion of our CDO exposure). We expect these significant dislocations in the CDO market to continue, and it is unclear what impacts these dislocations will have on other markets in which we operate or maintain positions. Previous dislocations experienced in the credit markets were largely confined to the Capital Markets and Advisory Services business. The current dislocations in the markets will continue to affect our Capital Markets and Advisory Services business and may have broader impacts on the Corporation, including certain businesses within GWIM (see page 92 for a further discussion of support of cash funds in GWIM). We anticipate that these developments will adversely impact our results during the fourth quarter.

In October 2007, the Corporation announced that it has launched a strategic review of its Capital Markets and Advisory Services business model to determine how it can operate more effectively while continuing to meet client financial needs. The Corporation also announced that it expects to eliminate approximately 3,000 positions in various units, representing less than two percent of total employment at the Corporation. These eliminations are expected to occur within the various businesses in GCIB, the wholesale mortgage-related business included in GCSBB, and other related infrastructure positions. For more information, including certain senior management changes, see Exhibit 99.1 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 25, 2007.

In October 2007, the Board of Directors (the Board) declared a regular quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.64 per share payable on December 28, 2007 to common shareholders of record on December 7, 2007. In July 2007, the Board increased the quarterly cash dividend on common stock 14 percent from $0.56 to $0.64 per share.

In September 2007, the Corporation issued 22 thousand shares of Bank of America Corporation 6.625% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series I with a par value of $0.01 per share for $550 million.

In August 2007, the Corporation made a $2.0 billion investment in Countrywide Financial Corporation (Countrywide), the largest mortgage lender in the United States in the form of a Series B non-voting convertible preferred security yielding 7.25 percent. The security is convertible into common stock of Countrywide at $18 per share, which would result in an ownership interest of approximately 16 percent in Countrywide if converted.

In July 2007, the Corporation completed the acquisition of U.S. Trust Corporation for $3.3 billion in cash. U.S. Trust Corporation is one of the largest and most respected U.S. firms that focus exclusively on managing wealth for high net-worth and ultra high net-worth individuals and families. The acquisition significantly increases the size and capabilities of the Corporation’s wealth business and positions it as one of the largest financial services companies managing private wealth in the U.S.

In June 2007, the Corporation announced the sale of Marsico Capital Management, LLC (Marsico), a 100 percent owned investment manager, to Thomas F. Marsico, founder and chief executive officer of Marsico. The Corporation expects to realize a gain on this transaction of approximately $1.4 billion (pre-tax). Closing is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2007 and is subject to client consents and mutual fund shareholder approval.

In April 2007, the Corporation announced an agreement to purchase 24.9 percent of SLM Corporation (Sallie Mae), the U.S. leader in originating and servicing student loans, for $2.2 billion. The Corporation is part of a consortium led by J.C. Flowers & Co. and private-equity firm Friedman Fleischer & Lowe, LLC which agreed to invest $4.4 billion and own 50.2 percent of Sallie Mae, and JP Morgan Chase & Co, which agreed to invest $2.2 billion and own the remaining 24.9 percent of Sallie Mae. During September and October, the buyers informed Sallie Mae that if the conditions to the closing of the agreement to purchase were required to be measured currently, the conditions would not be satisfied due to the enactment of federal legislation as well as adverse changes in the credit markets impacting Sallie Mae. On October 8, 2007, Sallie Mae filed a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court against the buyers.

Performance Overview

Net income totaled $3.7 billion, or $0.82 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, decreases of 32 percent and 31 percent from $5.4 billion, or $1.18 per diluted common share, for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Net income totaled $14.7 billion, or $3.25 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, decreases of seven percent and six percent from $15.9 billion, or $3.44 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

⁽²⁾

GCSBB is presented on a managed basis with a corresponding offset recorded in All Other.

Global Consumer and Small Business Banking

Net income decreased $467 million, or 16 percent, to $2.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Total managed revenue increased $701 million, or six percent, to $12.0 billion due to higher card income and service charges, as well as an increase in net interest income. This increase was more than offset by the increase in provision for credit losses of $1.1 billion, or 52 percent, which was driven by portfolio seasoning in our home equity, small business and unsecured lending portfolios, reflective of growth in the businesses and increased losses from the unusually low levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform. The weak housing market also contributed to higher provision for credit losses as we increased reserves on our home equity portfolio. Also, noninterest expense increased $352 million, or eight percent, mainly due to increases in technology, overhead and personnel expenses.

Net income decreased $1.2 billion, or 14 percent, to $7.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Total managed revenue increased $1.9 billion, or six percent, to $35.2 billion and was more than offset by the increases in provision for credit losses of $2.9 billion, or 50 percent, and noninterest expense of $976 million. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. For more information on GCSBB, see page 65.

Global Corporate and Investment Banking

Net income decreased $1.3 billion, or 93 percent, to $100 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 as extreme market disruptions adversely impacted total revenue. Total revenue decreased $2.3 billion, or 44 percent, to $2.9 billion driven by a decrease in noninterest income of $2.6 billion. Decreases in trading account profits (losses) of $2.2 billion and investment banking income of $118 million contributed to the reduction in noninterest income. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net interest income, primarily market-based, of $338 million and a decrease in noninterest expense of $375 million mainly due to a decrease in performance-based incentive

compensation. Additionally, the provision for credit losses increased $192 million reflecting the impact of the weak housing market, particularly on the homebuilder sector.

Net income decreased $1.3 billion, or 29 percent, to $3.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Total revenue decreased $1.8 billion, or 11 percent, and provision for credit losses increased $302 million, contributing to the decrease in net income. These period-over-period changes, with the exception of investment banking income, were driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. The increase in investment banking income of $240 million was due to strength in debt underwriting and growth in advisory fees when compared to the same period in the prior year. In the nine-month comparison, provision for credit losses was also impacted by the absence of 2006 releases of reserves related to favorable commercial credit market conditions, higher net charge-offs in the retail automotive loan portfolio due to growth and seasoning, and a lower level of commercial recoveries. For more information on GCIB, see page 73.

Net income increased $86 million, or 17 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Total revenue grew $422 million, or 24 percent, driven by higher noninterest income of $300 million, as a result of higher AUM balances related to organic growth and acquisitions, and an increase in brokerage income. These increases were partially offset by increased noninterest expense of $309 million driven by acquisitions and continued expansion of client facing associates and higher revenue-generated operating costs.

Net income increased $111 million, or seven percent, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 as an increase in total revenue of $638 million, or 12 percent, was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $436 million. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. In addition, provision for credit losses increased mainly due to the absence of a 2006 credit loss recovery.

Total AUM was $709.9 billion at September 30, 2007, increases of $166.9 billion and $192.9 billion since December 31, 2006 and September 30, 2006, due to $115.6 billion in managed assets acquired from U.S. Trust Corporation, net inflows and market appreciation. For more information on GWIM, see page 80.

All Other

Net income of $547 million was relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Excluding the securitization offset, total revenue decreased $677 million resulting from lower net interest and noninterest income due to the sale of the Latin American operations and Hong Kong based retail and commercial banking business which were included in the Corporation’s 2006 results. Also impacting noninterest income was the absence of a $720 million (pre-tax) gain on the sale of our Brazilian operations partially offset by the absence of a loss on sales of mortgage-backed debt securities of $496 million in the third quarter of 2006 and higher income from strategic investments. Partially offsetting the decrease in total revenue were lower noninterest expense of $421 million as a result of the absence of expense associated with the sale of the Latin American operations and Hong Kong based retail and commercial banking business, and decreases in merger and restructuring charges of $185 million.

Net income increased $1.3 billion to $2.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Excluding the securitization offset, total revenue increased $352 million resulting from an increase in noninterest income of $1.5 billion partially offset by a decrease in net interest income of $1.1 billion. Higher equity investment income of $1.6 billion was driven by higher income from strategic investments and the $600 million gain from the sale of private equity funds to Conversus Capital. The other period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. For more information on All Other, see page 86.

Financial Highlights

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a FTE basis increased $96 million to $9.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and declined $492 million to $26.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was driven by the increase in market-based margin and higher levels of consumer and commercial loans. These increases were partially offset by spread compression, higher cost of deposits, increased hedge costs and the impact of divestitures of certain foreign operations in 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. The decrease in net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was impacted by substantially the same factors as discussed in the three-month discussion except that the benefit from market-based margin was not as significant. The net interest yield on a FTE basis decreased 12 basis points (bps) to 2.61 percent and 25 bps to 2.60 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006.

For more information on net interest income on a FTE basis, see Tables 8 and 9 on pages 61 to 63.

Noninterest income decreased $2.3 billion to $7.3 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and increased $276 million to $28.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006, primarily due to the following:

•

Card income on a held basis increased $122 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and decreased $85 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The three-month period increase was a result of an increase in debit card and cash advance fees partially offset by the impact of higher credit losses on excess servicing income resulting from portfolio seasoning, increases from the unusually low loss levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform and the impacts of securitization activities. The nine-month period decrease was impacted substantially by the same factors discussed above except that the negative impact of the credit losses on excess servicing income was more significant.

•

Service charges grew $74 million and $368 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 resulting primarily from new account growth in deposit products.

•

Investment and brokerage services increased $293 million and $386 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to higher AUM primarily attributable to organic growth and acquisitions, and an increase in brokerage activity.

•

Investment banking income decreased $121 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and increased $178 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as high-yield markets effectively shut down in response to the market disruption during the third quarter of 2007. The nine-month increase was due to strength in debt underwriting and growth in advisory fees when compared to the same period in the prior year.

•

Equity investment income increased $199 million and $1.6 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 benefiting from income received on strategic investments. In addition, the increase in the nine-month period included the $600 million gain on the sale of private equity funds to Conversus Capital.

•

Trading account profits (losses) decreased $2.2 billion and $2.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, attributable to extreme market disruptions. For more information on the impact of these events refer to the GCIB discussion beginning on page 73.

•

Gains (losses) on sales of debt securities increased $476 million and $535 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to the absence of a loss on the sale of mortgage-backed debt securities in the third quarter of 2006.

•

Other income decreased $1.1 billion and $431 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to the absence of a $720 million (pre-tax) gain on the sale of our Brazilian operations recognized in the third quarter of 2006. Other income in 2007 also includes losses of $173 million, net of $409 million in fees, on principally leveraged loans, loan commitments and the Corporation’s share of the forward calendar. The decrease in the nine-month period was partially offset by the impact of mark-to-market losses realized in 2006 on certain economic hedges that did not qualify for SFAS 133 hedge accounting and gains recognized on certain lease transactions in 2007.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses increased $865 million to $2.0 billion and $1.6 billion to $5.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. Reserve increases for higher losses inherent in our small business and home equity portfolios, reflective of growth in these businesses, drove the majority of the increase in provision for credit losses. The impact of the weak housing market on the homebuilder sector of our commercial portfolio and on our home equity portfolio was also a contributor. Higher net charge-offs of $296 million and $1.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were predominantly driven by portfolio seasoning reflective of growth in the businesses and increases from the unusually low charge-off levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform. In the nine-month comparison, partially offsetting these increases were reductions in reserves from consumer credit card securitization activities and the sale of the Argentina portfolio.

Noninterest expense decreased $320 million to $8.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and increased $229 million to $26.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily due to the following:

•

Personnel expense decreased $305 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and was essentially flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The three-month decrease was mainly due to a reduction in performance-based incentive compensation within GCIB partially offset by an increase in salaries due to the acquisition of U.S. Trust Corporation.

•

Merger and restructuring charges decreased $185 million and $291 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 mainly due to declining integration work associated with the MBNA acquisition partially offset by increased costs associated with the integration of U.S. Trust Corporation.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $1.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $2.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2006, resulting in effective tax rates of 31.0 percent and 33.6 percent. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was due to lower pre-tax income and an increase in the portion of our earnings taxed solely outside of the U.S. Income tax expense was $7.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $8.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, resulting in effective rates of 32.6 percent and 34.3 percent. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily resulted from the 2006 change in tax legislation discussed below, an increase in the portion of our earnings taxed solely outside of the U.S. and the one-time reduction to expense in 2007 of approximately $50 million resulting from the remeasurement of certain accrued tax liabilities due to the evaluation of new guidance from taxing authorities.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 was signed into law. Accounting for the change in law resulted in the discrete recognition of a $175 million charge to income tax expense during the second quarter of 2006.

Assets

At September 30, 2007, total assets were $1.6 trillion, an increase of $119.0 billion, or eight percent, from December 31, 2006. Average total assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $82.6 billion, or six percent, and $97.7 billion, or seven percent, compared to the same periods in 2006. Growth in period end and average total assets was due to an increase in loans and leases attributable to organic growth, limited bulk purchases of loans, growth in trading account assets, and an increase in loans held-for-sale. Partially offsetting this growth was a decrease in AFS debt securities due to the third quarter 2006 sale of $43.7 billion of mortgage-backed securities as well as maturities and paydowns.

Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity

At September 30, 2007, total liabilities were $1.4 trillion, an increase of $115.8 billion, or nine percent, from December 31, 2006. Average total liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $77.4 billion, or six percent, and $93.1 billion, or seven percent, compared to the same periods in 2006. The increase in period end and average total liabilities was to support the growth in overall assets.

Period end shareholders’ equity was $138.5 billion at September 30, 2007, an increase of $3.2 billion from December 31, 2006, due to net income, common stock issued in connection with employee benefit plans and preferred stock issued partially offset by dividend payments, share repurchases, the adoption of certain new accounting standards and increased losses in accumulated OCI. The change in accumulated OCI resulted from unrealized losses on AFS debt securities reflecting higher interest rates at September 30, 2007.

Average shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006, increased $5.2 billion to $134.5 billion and $4.6 billion to $133.9 billion, due to the same period-end factors discussed above.

Supplemental Financial Data

Table 6 provides a reconciliation of the supplemental financial data mentioned below with financial measures defined by GAAP. Other companies may define or calculate supplemental financial data differently.

Operating Basis Presentation

In managing our business, we may at times look at performance excluding certain nonrecurring items. For example, as an alternative to net income, we view results on an operating basis, which represents net income excluding merger and restructuring charges. The operating basis of presentation is not defined by GAAP. We believe that the exclusion of merger and restructuring charges, which represent events outside our normal operations, provides a meaningful period-to-period comparison and is more reflective of normalized operations.

Net Interest Income – FTE Basis

In addition, we view net interest income and related ratios and analysis (i.e., efficiency ratio, net interest yield and operating leverage) on a FTE basis. Although this is a non-GAAP measure, we believe managing the business with net interest income on a FTE basis provides a more accurate picture of the interest margin for comparative purposes. To derive the FTE basis, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt income on an equivalent before-tax basis with a corresponding increase in income tax expense. For purposes of this calculation, we use the federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.

Performance Measures

As mentioned above, certain performance measures including the efficiency ratio, net interest yield and operating leverage utilize net interest income (and thus total revenue) on a FTE basis. The efficiency ratio measures the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, and net interest yield evaluates how many basis points we are earning over the cost of funds. Operating leverage measures the total percentage revenue growth minus the total percentage expense growth for the corresponding period. During our annual integrated planning process, we set operating leverage and efficiency targets for the Corporation and each line of business. We believe the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Corporation. Targets vary by year and by business, and are based on a variety of factors including maturity of the business, investment appetite, competitive environment, market factors, and other items (e.g., risk appetite). The aforementioned performance measures and ratios, return on average assets and dividend payout ratio, as well as those measures discussed more fully below, are presented in Table 6.

Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity and Return on Average Tangible Shareholders’ Equity

We also evaluate our business based upon ROE and ROTE measures. ROE and ROTE utilize non-GAAP allocation methodologies. ROE measures the earnings contribution of a unit as a percentage of the shareholders’ equity allocated to that unit. ROTE measures the earnings contribution of the Corporation as a percentage of shareholders’ equity reduced by goodwill. These measures are used to evaluate our use of equity (i.e., capital) at the individual unit level and are integral components in the analytics for resource allocation. In addition, profitability, relationship and investment models all use ROE as a key measure to support our overall growth goal.

Core Net Interest Income – Managed Basis

In managing our business, we review core net interest income – managed basis, which adjusts reported net interest income on a FTE basis for the impact of market-based activities and certain securitizations, net of retained securities. As discussed in the GCIB business segment section beginning on page 73, we evaluate our market-based results and strategies on a total market-based revenue approach by combining net interest income and noninterest income for Capital Markets and Advisory Services. We also adjust for loans that we originated and sold into certain securitizations. These securitizations include off-balance sheet loans and leases, specifically those loans in revolving securitizations and other securitizations where servicing is retained by the Corporation (e.g., credit card and home equity). Noninterest income, rather than net interest income and provision for credit losses, is recorded for assets that have been securitized as we are compensated for servicing the securitized assets and record servicing income and gains or losses on securitizations, where appropriate. We believe the use of this non-GAAP presentation provides additional clarity in assessing the results of the Corporation. An analysis of core net interest income – managed basis, core average earning assets – managed basis and core net interest yield on earning assets – managed basis, which adjusts for the impact of these two non-core items from reported net interest income on a FTE basis, is shown below.

Represents the impact of market-based amounts included in the Capital Markets and Advisory Services business within GCIB and excludes net interest income on loans for which the fair value option has been elected.

⁽³⁾

Represents the impact of securitizations utilizing actual bond costs. This is different from the segment view which utilizes funds transfer pricing methodologies.

⁽⁴⁾

Calculated on an annualized basis.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Core net interest income on a managed basis decreased $67 million compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease was driven by spread compression, the higher cost of deposits, increased hedge costs, and the impact of divestitures of certain foreign operations in 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. Partially offsetting these items was the increase in the levels of consumer and commercial managed loans. Core net interest yield on a managed basis decreased 21 bps to 3.80 percent compared to the same period in 2006 and was driven by the same factors as core net interest income on a managed basis discussed above.

On a managed basis, core average earning assets increased $48.9 billion compared to the same period in 2006 due to higher levels of consumer and commercial managed loans partially offset by a decrease in average debt securities.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Core net interest income on a managed basis decreased $601 million, core average earning assets increased $42.6 billion and core net interest yield decreased 25 bps compared to the same period in 2006. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as discussed in the three-month discussion above.

⁽¹⁾

Interest income (FTE basis) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, does not include the cumulative tax charge resulting from a change in tax legislation relating to extraterritorial tax income and foreign sales corporation regimes. The FTE impact to net interest income and net interest yield on earning assets of this retroactive tax adjustment was a reduction of $270 million and 3 bps, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Management has excluded this one-time impact to provide a more comparative basis of presentation for net interest income and net interest yield on earning assets on a FTE basis. The impact on any given future period is not expected to be material.

⁽²⁾

Yields on AFS debt securities are calculated based on fair value rather than historical cost balances. The use of fair value does not have a material impact on net interest yield.

⁽³⁾

Nonperforming loans are included in the respective average loan balances. Income on these nonperforming loans is recognized on a cash basis.

⁽⁴⁾

Includes home equity loans of $15.3 billion and $8.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

⁽⁵⁾

Includes consumer finance loans of $3.2 billion and $3.0 billion, and foreign consumer loans of $5.1 billion and $7.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

⁽⁶⁾

Includes domestic commercial real estate loans of $36.6 billion and $36.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

⁽⁷⁾

Interest income includes the impact of interest rate risk management contracts, which decreased interest income on assets $408 million and $174 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Interest expense includes the impact of interest rate risk management contracts, which increased interest expense on liabilities $612 million and $175 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. For additional information on interest rate contracts, see Interest Rate Risk Management for Nontrading Activities beginning on page 125.

Business Segment Operations

Segment Description

The Corporation reports the results of its operations through three business segments: GCSBB, GCIB and GWIM, with the remaining operations recorded in All Other. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. For more information on the Corporation’s basis of presentation, selected financial information for the business segments and reconciliations to consolidated total revenue and net income amounts, see Note 17 – Business Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Basis of Presentation

We prepare and evaluate segment results using certain non-GAAP methodologies and performance measures, many of which are discussed in Supplemental Financial Data beginning on page 57. We begin by evaluating the operating results of the businesses which by definition excludes merger and restructuring charges. The segment results also reflect certain revenue and expense methodologies which are utilized to determine net income. The net interest income of the businesses includes the results of a funds transfer pricing process that matches assets and liabilities with similar interest rate sensitivity and maturity characteristics.

The management accounting reporting process derives segment and business results by utilizing allocation methodologies for revenue, expense and capital. The net income derived for the businesses are dependent upon revenue and cost allocations using an activity-based costing model, funds transfer pricing, and other methodologies and assumptions management believes are appropriate to reflect the results of the business.

The Corporation’s ALM activities maintain an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of interest rate contracts to manage fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. The Corporation’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity so that movements in interest rates do not significantly adversely affect net interest income. The results of the business segments will fluctuate based on the performance of corporate ALM activities. Some ALM activities are recorded in the businesses (i.e., Deposits) such as external product pricing decisions, including deposit pricing strategies, as well as the effects of our internal funds transfer pricing process and other ALM actions such as portfolio positioning. The net effects of other ALM activities are reported in each of the Corporation’s segments under ALM/Other. In addition, certain residual impacts of the funds transfer pricing process are retained in All Other.

Equity is allocated to business segments and related businesses using a risk-adjusted methodology incorporating each unit’s credit, market, interest rate and operational risk components. The nature of these risks is discussed further beginning on page 93. ROE is calculated by dividing net income by average allocated equity. Average equity is allocated to the business segments and related businesses and is impacted by the portion of goodwill that is specifically assigned to the businesses and the unallocated portion of goodwill that resides in ALM/Other.

The strategy for GCSBB is to attract, retain and deepen customer relationships. We achieve this strategy through our ability to offer a wide range of products and services through a franchise that stretches coast to coast through 30 states and the District of Columbia. We also provide credit card products to customers in Canada, Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom. In the U.S., we serve approximately 57 million consumer and small business relationships utilizing our network of 5,748 banking centers, 17,231 domestic branded ATMs, and telephone and Internet channels. Within GCSBB, there are three primary businesses: Deposits, Card Services, and Consumer Real Estate. In addition, ALM/Other includes the results of ALM activities and other consumer-related businesses (e.g., insurance). GCSBB, specifically Card Services, is presented on a managed basis. For a reconciliation of managed GCSBB to held GCSBB, see Note 17 – Business Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $467 million to $2.5 billion compared to the same period in 2006 as increases in net interest income and noninterest income were more than offset by an increase in provision for credit losses, primarily in Card Services, and an increase in noninterest expense.

Net interest income increased $249 million to $7.3 billion compared to the same period in 2006. This increase was driven by higher average loan balances. Noninterest income increased $452 million, or 11 percent, compared to the same period in 2006, mainly due to increases of $254 million in card income and $109 million in service charges. Card income was higher mainly due to increases in cash advance fees and debit card income. Service charges increased primarily as a result of new demand deposit account growth.

Provision for credit losses increased $1.1 billion, or 52 percent, to $3.1 billion compared to the same period in 2006. This increase primarily resulted from an $805 million increase in Card Services which was driven by portfolio seasoning reflective of growth in the businesses and increased losses compared to the unusually low levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform. Within Consumer Real Estate, reserves were increased for higher losses inherent in our home equity portfolio reflective of growth and seasoning of the portfolio as well as the impact of the weak housing market in certain geographic areas. For further discussion of the increase in provision for credit losses related to Card Services and Consumer Real Estate, see the Card Services and Consumer Real Estate discussions beginning on pages 68 and 71.

Noninterest expense increased $352 million, or eight percent, to $5.0 billion mainly due to increases in technology, overhead and personnel expenses.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $1.2 billion to $7.6 billion compared to the same period in 2006. The increases in net interest income of $350 million and noninterest income of $1.6 billion were more than offset by the $2.9 billion increase in provision for credit losses, driven by Card Services, and an increase in noninterest expense of $976 million. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three month discussion above. In addition, the change in card income was impacted by an unfavorable change in the value of the interest-only strip in the prior year compared to a favorable change in the current year.

Deposits

Deposits provides a comprehensive range of products to consumers and small businesses. Our products include traditional savings accounts, money market savings accounts, CDs and IRAs, and non-interest and interest-bearing checking accounts. Debit card results are also included in Deposits.

Deposit products provide a relatively stable source of funding and liquidity. We earn net interest spread revenues from investing this liquidity in earning assets through client facing lending activity and our ALM activities. The revenue is attributed to the deposit products using our funds transfer pricing process which takes into account the interest rates and maturity characteristics of the deposits. Deposits also generate various account fees such as account service fees, non-sufficient fund fees and overdraft charges while debit cards generate interchange fees. Interchange fees are volume-based and paid by merchants to have the debit transactions processed.

We added approximately 757 thousand and approximately 2.0 million net new retail checking accounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. These additions resulted from continued improvement in sales and service results in the Banking Center Channel and the success of such products as Keep the Change^TM, Risk Free CDs, Balance Rewards, and Group Banking and Affinity.

The Corporation continues to migrate qualifying affluent customers and their related deposit balances from GCSBB to GWIM. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, a total of $2.6 billion and $9.0 billion of deposits were migrated from GCSBB to GWIM compared to $1.7 billion and $7.0 billion for the same periods in 2006. After migration, the associated net interest income, service charges and noninterest expense are recorded in GWIM.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income increased $34 million, or three percent, compared to the same period in 2006 as an increase in noninterest income was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense. Net interest income remained relatively flat at $2.4 billion compared to the same period in 2006. Average deposits decreased $10.6 billion, or three percent, largely due to the migration of deposit balances to GWIM. This decrease was offset by deposit spreads increasing as a result of disciplined pricing. The increase in noninterest income was driven by higher service charges of $108 million, or eight percent, and debit card revenue growth of $51 million, or 10 percent, due to a higher number of checking accounts and increased usage. Service charges increased primarily as a result of new demand deposit account growth.

Noninterest expense increased $64 million, or three percent, compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to higher account and transaction volumes. The affect of higher account and transaction volumes was partially offset by productivity improvements resulting in a lower average unit cost.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income increased $347 million, or 10 percent, compared to the same period in 2006. The increase in net income was driven by an increase in noninterest income of $619 million, or 12 percent, partially offset by higher noninterest expense of $84 million. Net interest income remained relatively flat at $7.1 billion. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three month discussion above.

Card Services, which excludes the results of debit cards (included in Deposits), provides a broad offering of products, including U.S. Consumer and Business Card, Unsecured Lending, and International Card Businesses. We offer a variety of co-branded and affinity credit card products and have become the leading issuer of credit cards through endorsed marketing in the U.S. and Europe. Effective July 1, 2007, the Corporation reports the results of Merchant Services in Treasury Services within GCIB. Previously, these results were reported in Card Services. Prior period amounts have been reclassified.

The Corporation reports its GCSBB results, specifically Card Services, on a managed basis, which is consistent with the way that management as well as analysts evaluate the results of GCSBB. Managed basis assumes that securitized loans were not sold and presents earnings on these loans in a manner similar to the way loans that have not been sold (i.e., held loans) are presented. Loan securitization is an alternative funding process that is used by the Corporation to diversify funding

sources. Loan securitization removes loans from the Consolidated Balance Sheet through the sale of loans to an off-balance sheet QSPE which is excluded from the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP.

Securitized loans continue to be serviced by the business and are subject to the same underwriting standards and ongoing monitoring as held loans. In addition, excess servicing income is exposed to similar credit risk and repricing of interest rates as held loans.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $356 million, or 25 percent, compared to the same period in 2006 as growth in net interest income and noninterest income was more than offset by higher provision for credit losses and noninterest expense. Net interest income increased $133 million, or three percent, to $4.2 billion as an increase in managed average loans and leases of $18.8 billion was partially offset by spread compression.

Noninterest income increased $262 million, or 13 percent, mainly due to higher cash advance fees related to organic loan growth in credit card and unsecured lending. In addition, all other income increased $59 million primarily due to the sale of a foreign credit card portfolio.

Provision for credit losses increased $805 million, or 42 percent, compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily driven by higher managed net losses driven by portfolio seasoning and increases from the unusually low levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform and reserve increases for higher losses inherent in our small business portfolio reflective of growth in the business and for seasoning of the unsecured lending portfolio. In addition, a lower level of reserve reduction from net new issuance of domestic consumer credit card securitizations in the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same period a year ago was a contributor to the increased provision.

Noninterest expense increased $146 million, or eight percent, compared to the same period in 2006, largely due to increases in overhead and technology related costs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $1.4 billion, or 31 percent, compared to the same period in 2006 as an increase in noninterest income of $719 million was more than offset by increases in provision for credit losses of $2.4 billion and noninterest expense of $517 million. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three month discussion above. In addition, card income was impacted by an unfavorable change in the value of the interest-only strip in the prior year compared to a favorable change in the current year. Also, for the nine-month comparison, the increase in provision for credit losses was partially offset by a higher level of reserve reduction from the addition of legacy Bank of America accounts which have a higher loss profile to the domestic consumer credit card securitization master trust.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Managed net losses increased $513 million to $2.5 billion, or 4.71 percent of average Card Services outstandings, compared to $2.0 billion, or 4.11 percent for the same period in 2006. This increase was driven by portfolio seasoning and increases from the unusually low loss levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform.

Managed Card Services total average loans and leases increased $18.8 billion to $211.9 billion compared to the same period in 2006, driven by growth in the unsecured lending, foreign and domestic card portfolios.

Managed credit card net losses increased $276 million to $2.0 billion, or 4.67 percent of average credit card outstandings, compared to $1.7 billion, or 4.23 percent for the same period in 2006. The increase was driven by portfolio seasoning and increases from the unusually low loss levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform.

Managed credit card total average loans and leases increased $7.9 billion to $172.0 billion compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was driven by growth in the foreign and domestic portfolios.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Managed net losses increased $2.4 billion to $7.4 billion, or 4.79 percent of average Card Services outstandings, compared to $5.0 billion, or 3.55 percent (3.73 percent excluding the impact of SOP 03-3) for the same period in 2006. Managed Card Services total average loans and leases increased $16.6 billion to $205.8 billion. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three month discussion above.

Managed credit card net losses increased $1.6 billion to $6.1 billion, or 4.81 percent of average credit card outstandings, compared to $4.5 billion, or 3.68 percent (3.79 percent excluding the impact of SOP 03-3) for the same period in 2006. Managed credit card total average loans and leases increased $6.5 billion to $169.0 billion compared to the same period in 2006. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three month discussion above.

Consumer Real Estate

Consumer Real Estate generates revenue by providing an extensive line of consumer real estate products and services to customers nationwide. Consumer Real Estate products are available to our customers through a retail network of personal bankers located in 5,748 banking centers, mortgage loan officers in nearly 200 locations and through a sales force offering our customers direct telephone and online access to our products. Consumer Real Estate products include fixed and adjustable rate loans for home purchase and refinancing needs, reverse mortgages, lines of credit and home equity loans. Mortgage products are either sold into the secondary mortgage market to investors, while retaining the Bank of America customer relationships, or are held on our balance sheet for ALM purposes. Consumer Real Estate is not impacted by the Corporation’s mortgage production retention decisions as Consumer Real Estate is compensated for the decision on a management accounting basis with a corresponding offset recorded in All Other.

The consumer real estate business includes the origination, fulfillment, sale and servicing of first mortgage loan products, reverse mortgage products and home equity products. Servicing activities primarily include collecting cash for principal, interest and escrow payments from borrowers, disbursing customer draws for lines of credit and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to investors and escrow payments to third parties. Servicing income includes ancillary income derived in connection with these activities such as late fees.

Within GCSBB, the Consumer Real Estate first mortgage and home equity production was $41.9 billion and $124.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $36.6 billion and $104.9 billion for the same periods in 2006. During the second quarter, the Corporation completed the purchase of a reverse mortgage business which has increased the Corporation’s offerings of reverse mortgages.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income for Consumer Real Estate decreased $89 million to $73 million compared to the same period in 2006 as the increases in net interest income and mortgage banking income were more than offset by higher provision for credit losses and an increase in noninterest expense. Net interest income grew $75 million, or 15 percent, and was driven by loan production in our home equity business partially offset by spread compression. Average loans and leases increased $21.8 billion, or 25 percent. The increase in mortgage banking income of $29 million, or 13 percent, was primarily due to the ongoing impact of the adoption of SFAS 159 on Consumer Real Estate loans held-for-sale and increased production income, partially offset by widening of credit spreads during the quarter. For more information on the adoption of SFAS 159 on mortgage banking income, see Mortgage Banking Risk Management on page 129.

Provision for credit losses increased $180 million to $197 million compared to the same period in 2006. This increase was driven by an increase in reserves for higher losses inherent in the home equity portfolio, reflective of growth and seasoning of the portfolio as well as the impact of weak home prices in certain geographic areas increasing the amount of loss when a loss occurs.

Noninterest expense increased $73 million, or 16 percent, compared to the same period in 2006, driven by costs associated with increased volume and the ongoing impact of the adoption of SFAS 159 on Consumer Real Estate loans held-

for-sale which resulted in direct origination costs related to loans for which the fair value option was elected being recorded in earnings as incurred.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income for Consumer Real Estate decreased $75 million, or 15 percent, compared to the same period in 2006 as the increases in net interest income of $170 million and mortgage banking income of $213 million were more than offset by higher provision for credit losses of $308 million and an increase in noninterest expense of $197 million. In addition to the factors described in the three month discussion above, the period-over-period changes were also impacted by the net favorable performance of the MSRs.

The Consumer Real Estate servicing portfolio includes loans serviced for others and originated and retained residential mortgages. The servicing portfolio at September 30, 2007 was $483.5 billion, $64.0 billion higher than at December 31, 2006, driven by production. Included in this amount was $244.9 billion of residential first mortgage loans serviced for others.

At September 30, 2007, the residential first mortgage MSR balance was $3.2 billion, an increase of $310 million, or 11 percent, from December 31, 2006. This value represented 130 bps of the related unpaid principal balance, a 5 bps increase from December 31, 2006.

ALM/Other

ALM/Other is comprised primarily of the allocation of a portion of the Corporation’s net interest income from ALM activities and the results of other consumer-related businesses (e.g., insurance).

Net income decreased $56 million and $80 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 as increases in provision for credit losses and noninterest expense were partially offset by a higher contribution from ALM activities. The increase in provision for credit losses was due to higher losses inherent in the small business lending portfolio managed outside of Card Services.

GCIB provides a wide range of financial services to both our issuer and investor clients that range from business banking clients to large international corporate and institutional investor clients using a strategy to deliver value-added financial products and advisory solutions. GCIB’s products and services are delivered from three primary businesses: Business Lending, Capital Markets and Advisory Services and Treasury Services, and are provided to our clients through a global team of client relationship managers and product partners. In addition, ALM/Other includes the results of ALM activities and other GCIB activities (e.g., Commercial Insurance business which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2007). Our clients are supported through offices in 23 countries that are divided into four distinct geographic regions: U.S. and Canada; Asia; Europe, Middle East, and Africa; and Latin America. For more information on our foreign operations, see Foreign Portfolio beginning on page 115.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted SFAS 159 and elected to account for loans and loan commitments to certain large corporate clients at fair value. For more information on the adoption of SFAS 159, see Note 15 – Fair Value Disclosures to the Consolidated Financial Statements and see page 104 for a discussion of loans and loan commitments measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159. Effective April 1, 2007, the results of loans and loan commitments to certain large corporate clients for which the Corporation elected the fair value option (including the associated risk mitigation tools) were transferred from Business Lending to Capital Markets and Advisory Services to reflect management’s view of the underlying economics and the manner in which they are managed.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $1.3 billion, or 93 percent, compared to the same period in 2006 as extreme market disruptions adversely impacted total revenue in the Capital Markets and Advisory Services business. Additionally, we experienced an increase in provision for credit losses and a decrease in noninterest expense.

Net interest income increased $338 million, or 14 percent, primarily due to higher market-based net interest income of $412 million and growth in average loans and leases, and average deposits, partially offset by spread compression on core lending and deposit-related activities. Average loans and leases increased $33.0 billion, or 14 percent, and average deposits increased $22.8 billion, or 12 percent, compared to the same period in 2006.

Noninterest income decreased $2.6 billion, or 95 percent, compared to the same period in 2006, driven by the decreases in trading account profits (losses) of $2.2 billion, all other income of $347 million and investment banking income of $118 million. For more information on these decreases see the Capital Markets and Advisory Services discussion beginning on page 77.

Provision for credit losses increased $192 million to $228 million compared to the same period in 2006. The increase reflected the impact of the weak housing market, particularly on the homebuilder sector of our portfolio.

Noninterest expense decreased $375 million, or 13 percent, compared to the same period in 2006, mainly due to a reduction in performance-based incentive compensation.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $1.3 billion, or 29 percent, compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease in total revenue of $1.8 billion was largely due to decreases in trading account profits (losses) of $2.3 billion, all other income of $207 million and an increase in provision for credit losses of $302 million, which were partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $453 million. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors discussed above. In addition, the increase in investment banking income of $240 million was due to strength in debt underwriting and growth in advisory fees when compared to the same period in the prior year. Also, impacting the increase in the provision for credit losses were the absence of 2006 releases of reserves related to favorable commercial credit market conditions, higher net charge-offs in the retail automotive loan portfolio due to growth and seasoning, and a lower level of commercial recoveries.

Business Lending

Business Lending provides a wide range of lending-related products and services to our clients through client relationship teams along with various product partners. Products include commercial and corporate bank loans and commitment facilities which cover our business banking clients, middle market commercial clients and our large multinational corporate clients. Real estate lending products are issued primarily to public and private developers, homebuilders and commercial real estate firms. Leasing and asset-based lending products offer our clients innovative financing solutions. Products also include indirect consumer loans which allow us to offer financing through automotive, marine, motorcycle and recreational vehicle dealerships across the U.S. Business Lending also contains the results for the economic hedging of our risk to certain credit counterparties utilizing various risk mitigation tools such as CDS and may also include the results of other products to help reduce hedging costs.

Net income decreased $140 million, or 27 percent, to $379 million as total revenue remained flat while the provision for credit losses increased. Net interest income remained relatively unchanged, as average loan growth of nine percent was offset by the impact of spread compression. The increase in average loans and leases was attributable to growth in commercial loans, primarily due to core loan growth and funding on revolvers, and the indirect consumer loan portfolio related to bulk purchases of retail automotive loans. The increase in noninterest income of $23 million, or nine percent, was driven by improved economic hedging results of our exposures to certain large corporate clients and higher tax credits from community development activities. Provision for credit losses increased $179 million to $233 million compared to the same period in 2006. The increase reflected the impact of the weak housing market, particularly in the homebuilder sector.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $211 million, or 13 percent, to $1.4 billion compared to the same period in 2006. The increase in noninterest income of $156 million was more than offset by a decrease in net interest income combined with an increase in provision for credit losses of $283 million. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. In addition, a portion of the increase in noninterest income was attributable to gains recognized on certain lease transactions and contributing to the increase in provision for credit losses were the absence of 2006 releases of reserves related to favorable commercial credit market conditions, higher net charge-offs in the retail automotive loan portfolio due to growth and seasoning, and a lower level of commercial recoveries.

Capital Markets and Advisory Services

Capital Markets and Advisory Services provides financial products, advisory services and financing globally to our institutional investor clients in support of their investing and trading activities. We also work with our commercial and corporate issuer clients to provide debt and equity underwriting and distribution capabilities, merger-related advisory services and risk management solutions using interest rate, equity, credit and commodity derivatives, foreign exchange, fixed income and mortgage-related products. The business may take positions in these products and participate in market-making activities dealing in government securities, equity and equity-linked securities, high-grade and high-yield corporate debt securities, commercial paper, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Underwriting debt and equity, securities research and certain market-based activities are executed through Banc of America Securities, LLC which is a primary dealer in the U.S.

Capital Markets and Advisory Services evaluates its results using market-based revenue that is comprised of net interest income and noninterest income but excludes net interest income on loans for which the fair value option has been elected. The following table presents further detail regarding market-based revenue. Sales and trading revenue is segregated into fixed income from liquid products (primarily interest rate and commodity derivatives, foreign exchange contracts and public finance), credit products (primarily investment and noninvestment grade corporate debt obligations and credit derivatives), structured products (primarily commercial mortgage-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, and CDOs), and equity income from equity-linked derivatives and cash equity activity. A variety of factors influence results including volume of activity and the degree in which we successfully anticipate market movements. During periods of extreme market volatility, factors such as underlying market activity and liquidity could impact our results.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $1.0 billion resulting in a net loss of $717 million primarily driven by the extreme market disruptions that occurred in the third quarter of 2007 which resulted in significant losses in market-based revenue. Market-based revenue decreased $2.1 billion, resulting in losses of $206 million, driven by losses incurred in sales and trading activities combined with a decrease in investment banking income. Partially offsetting these decreases was a reduction in noninterest expense due to lower performance-based incentive compensation.

Investment banking income decreased $118 million to $436 million as the Corporation was unable to execute transactions when the high-yield markets effectively shut down in response to the market disruption.

Sales and trading revenue from liquid products increased $135 million as the negative impact of correlations breaking down between cash and hedge positions in municipal finance were more than offset by the strength in interest rate products and foreign exchange contracts.

Sales and trading losses from credit products were $885 million, a decline in revenue of $1.1 billion compared to the same period in 2006. These losses were driven by positions taken in the market which incurred losses as spreads widened. Additionally, we experienced a breakdown in the expected correlations between cash positions and credit indices as indices became extremely volatile and diverged from single name credit risk in our portfolio. Additionally, we incurred losses of $173 million, net of $409 million in fees, on principally leveraged loans, loan commitments and the Corporation’s share of the forward calendar. We also had approximately $40 million in markdowns related to loans in our CLO warehouse. As of September 30, 2007, we had $1.6 billion exposure to CLO warehouses.

Sales and trading losses from structured products were $569 million, with a decline in revenue of $942 million compared to the same period in the prior year. These losses were driven by the breakdown of the expected hedge correlation and the impact of credit markets that essentially shut down. These drivers resulted in losses in structured credit trading, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial real estate and CDO positions. Structured credit trading incurred losses as certain trades were adversely impacted by the dislocation in the markets. Residential mortgage-backed securities were also negatively impacted by the breakdown in hedge correlations when agency-based product hedges diverged from non-agency loans. In addition, we incurred losses on markdowns of $74 million, net of $119 million in fees, on certain commercial real estate exposures as the markets essentially shut down. Finally, we incurred losses of $104 million on our CDO warehouse pipeline and losses of $198 million associated with financings of mezzanine CDO paper.

Sales and trading revenue from equity income products decreased $86 million primarily due to lower client activity in equity capital markets and equity derivatives combined with reduced trading results.

Collateralized Debt Obligations Exposures at September 30, 2007

As previously mentioned in Recent Events on page 48, subsequent to September 30, 2007, credit spreads on CDOs have been widening. The following is a summary of our CDO exposure. At September 30, 2007, we provided $15.5 billion, or $12.8 billion net of amounts hedged (principally with financial guarantees from insurers), in liquidity support for commercial paper issued by CDOs. The commercial paper is the most senior class of securities issued and benefits from the subordination of all other securities, including AAA-rated securities. The net amount that is principally backed by subprime residential mortgage exposure totaled $9.8 billion. This amount included approximately $9.4 billion of high grade asset-backed securities, net of hedges, of which $3.2 billion was consolidated, and $400 million of mezzanine asset-backed securities. The $9.4 billion of high grade asset-backed securities includes $5.5 billion of CDOs collateralized by other CDOs. For more information on the liquidity support refer to Collateralized Debt Obligations beginning on page 90.

We also have exposure to CDOs through our structuring, warehousing and trading activities. At September 30, 2007, we had $2.4 billion in super senior securities exposure retained as part of our CDO structuring business, net of $2.8 billion that is hedged (principally with financial guarantees from insurers). The super senior tranche is the most senior class of securities issued by the CDOs and benefits from the subordination of all other securities issued by the CDO, including AAA-rated securities. The portion that is backed principally by subprime residential mortgage exposure was $1.9 billion, net of $2.1 billion of hedges. The net portion backed principally by subprime residential mortgage-backed exposure included approximately $400 million, net of hedges, of high grade asset-backed securities CDOs and $1.5 billion of mezzanine asset-backed securities CDOs.

We also had CDO exposure of approximately $1.0 billion in CDO warehouses. The portion backed principally by subprime residential mortgage exposure was approximately $400 million. We had other subprime exposure related to loans pending securitization of approximately $1.8 billion and outstandings under financing transactions of approximately $1.0 billion.

In addition to the CDO-related exposures discussed above, we continue to actively manage various exposures as part of our normal sales and trading activities.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $855 million, or 65 percent compared to the same period in 2006. This was driven by a decrease in market-based revenue of $1.6 billion, partially offset by a decrease of $203 million in noninterest expense. These period-over-period changes, with the exception of investment banking income, were driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above. The increase in investment banking income of $240 million was due to strength in debt underwriting and growth in advisory fees when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Treasury Services

Treasury Services provides integrated working capital management and treasury solutions to clients worldwide through our network of proprietary offices and special clearing arrangements. Our clients include multinationals, middle-market companies, correspondent banks, commercial real estate firms and governments. Our products and services include treasury management, trade finance, foreign exchange, short-term credit facilities and short-term investing options. Net interest income is derived from interest and noninterest-bearing deposits, sweep investments, and other liability management products. Deposit products provide a relatively stable source of funding and liquidity. We earn net interest spread revenues from investing this liquidity in earning assets through client facing lending activity and our ALM activities. The revenue is attributed to the deposit products using our funds transfer pricing process which takes into account the interest rates and maturity characteristics of the deposits. Noninterest income is generated from payment and receipt products, merchant services, wholesale card products, and trade services and is comprised largely of service charges which are net of market-based earnings credit rates applied against noninterest-bearing deposits. Effective July 1, 2007, the Corporation now reports the results of Merchant Services in Treasury Services. Previously, these results were reported in Card Services in GCSBB. Prior period amounts have been reclassified.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $76 million, or 12 percent, compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to decreases in all other income and net interest income partially offset by a decrease in noninterest expense. Net interest income decreased $53 million, or five percent, as an increase in average deposits of $7.2 billion, or five percent, was more than offset by the negative impact on net interest income due to the shift from noninterest-bearing to interest-bearing deposits and spread compression resulting from the rate environment and competitive pricing. Noninterest income decreased $97 million, or 11 percent, and noninterest expense decreased $27 million, or three percent reflecting the sale of a Merchant Services’ business in the prior year partially offset by the impact of commercial card income growth from increased purchase volumes.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $108 million, or six percent, compared to the same period in 2006, predominantly due to decreases in all other income of $154 million and net interest income of $79 million partially offset by a decrease in noninterest expense of $34 million. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three-month discussion above.

ALM/Other

ALM/Other includes an allocation of a portion of the Corporation’s net interest income from ALM activities as well as our commercial insurance business and commercial operations in Mexico.

Net income decreased $102 million and $160 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006, mainly due to a lower contribution from the Corporation’s ALM activities.

GWIM provides a wide offering of customized banking, investment and brokerage services tailored to meet the changing wealth management goals of our individual and institutional customer base. Our clients have access to a range of services offered through three primary businesses: U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management (U.S. Trust); Columbia Management (Columbia); and Premier Banking and Investments (PB&I). In addition, ALM/Other primarily includes the results of ALM activities.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income increased $86 million, or 17 percent, driven by an increase in investment and brokerage services of $319 million, or 39 percent, compared to the same period in 2006. This increase was due to higher AUM primarily attributable to organic growth and acquisitions, and an increase in brokerage income. Partially offsetting this increase was an increase in noninterest expense.

Net interest income increased $122 million, or 14 percent, driven by average deposit and loan growth and acquisitions. Partially offsetting the increase in the net interest income was spread compression in the deposit and loan portfolios as well as a shift in the deposit product mix. GWIM deposit growth also benefited from the migration of deposits from GCSBB. A more detailed discussion regarding migrated deposit balances is provided in the PB&I discussion.

Noninterest expense increased $309 million, or 32 percent, due to acquisitions and continued increases in personnel expense driven by PB&I and U.S. Trust’s expansion of client facing associates and higher revenue-generated operating costs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income increased $111 million, or seven percent, compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by increases of $535 million in investment and brokerage services and $145 million in net interest income, partially offset by an increase of $436 million in noninterest expense. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three month discussion above. In addition, provision for credit losses increased $21 million compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to the absence of a 2006 credit loss recovery.

Client Assets

Client assets consist of AUM, client brokerage assets, and assets in custody. AUM generate fees based on a percentage of their market value. They consist largely of mutual funds and separate accounts, which are comprised of taxable and nontaxable money market products, taxable and nontaxable fixed income and equity securities. Client brokerage assets represent a source of commission revenue and fees. Assets in custody represent trust assets administered for customers. Trust assets encompass a broad range of asset types including real estate, private company ownership interest, personal property and investments.

As of September 30, 2007 client brokerage assets increased by $24.2 billion or 13 percent, compared to the same period in 2006, driven by increased brokerage activity. Assets in custody increased $58.6 billion, or 59 percent, compared to the same period in 2006, driven by organic growth and acquisitions.

U.S. Trust Corporation contributed $115.6 billion in AUM as well as $45.0 billion in assets in custody.

U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management

In July 2007, the Corporation completed the acquisition of U.S. Trust Corporation for $3.3 billion in cash combining it with The Private Bank and its ultra-wealthy extension, Family Wealth Advisors, to form U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management (U.S. Trust). The results of the combined business were reported for periods beginning on July 1, 2007. Prior to July 1, 2007, the results solely reflect that of the former Private Bank. U.S. Trust provides comprehensive wealth management solutions to wealthy and ultra-wealthy clients with investable assets of more than $3 million. In addition, U.S. Trust provides resources and customized solutions to meet clients’ wealth structuring, investment management, trust and banking services as well as specialty asset management services (oil and gas, real estate, farm and ranch, timberland, private businesses and tax advisory). Clients also benefit from access to resources available through the Corporation – including capital markets products, large and complex financing solutions, and its extensive banking platform.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income increased $51 million, or 55 percent, compared to the same period in 2006, due to growth in total revenue partially offset by increased noninterest expense. Net interest income increased $73 million as growth in average loans and leases of $10.6 billion and an increase in average deposits of $11.7 billion were partially offset by spread compression in the loan portfolio and the shift in the product mix of the deposit portfolio. Growth in noninterest income was driven by a $142 million increase in investment and brokerage services related to organic growth and acquisitions. Noninterest expense increased $171 million, or 55 percent, driven by acquisitions, including $45 million related to amortization of intangibles.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income decreased $11 million, or three percent, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to increases in noninterest expense of $176 million and provision for credit losses of $26 million, offset by higher noninterest income of $118 million and net interest income of $66 million. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three month discussion above. In addition, the increase in provision for credit losses was primarily due to the absence of a 2006 credit loss recovery.

Columbia Management

Columbia is an asset management business serving the needs of both institutional clients and individual customers. Columbia provides asset management services, including mutual funds, liquidity strategies and separate accounts. Columbia mutual fund offerings provide a broad array of investment strategies and products including equity, fixed income (taxable and non-taxable) and money market (taxable and non-taxable) funds. Columbia distributes its products and services directly to institutional clients, and distributes to individuals through U.S. Trust, PB&I and nonproprietary channels including other brokerage firms.

Closing is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2007 and is subject to client consents and mutual fund shareholder approval.

Net income increased $36 million, or 46 percent, largely as a result of an increase in investment and brokerage services of $116 million, or 31 percent, compared to the same period in 2006. This increase was due to higher AUM driven by net client inflows, acquisitions and market appreciation. Partially offsetting this increase was higher noninterest expense of $55 million, or 22 percent, primarily due to an increase in revenue-generated operating costs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income increased $90 million, or 38 percent, primarily as a result of an increase in investment and brokerage services of $242 million, or 22 percent, partially offset by an increase of $123 million, or 17 percent, in noninterest expense. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three month discussion above.

Premier Banking and Investments

PB&I includes Banc of America Investments, our full-service retail brokerage business and our Premier Banking channel. PB&I brings personalized banking and investment expertise through priority service with client-dedicated teams. PB&I provides a high-touch client experience through a network of approximately 5,400 client facing associates to our affluent customers with a personal wealth profile that includes investable assets plus a mortgage that exceeds $500,000 or at least $100,000 of investable assets.

PB&I includes the impact of migrating qualifying affluent customers, including their related deposit balances, from GCSBB to our PB&I model. After migration, the associated net interest income, service charges and noninterest expense is recorded in PB&I. The growth reported in the financial results of PB&I includes both the impact of migration, as well as the impact of incremental organic growth from providing a broader array of financial products and services to PB&I customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, a total of $2.6 billion and $1.7 billion of deposits were migrated from GCSBB to PB&I and a total of $9.0 billion and $7.0 billion were migrated for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income increased $34 million, or 12 percent, compared to the same period in 2006 due to an increase in revenues. Noninterest income increased $56 million, or 25 percent, driven by higher investment and brokerage services. Net interest income increased $37 million, or six percent, driven by higher average deposit and loan balances partially offset by a shift of the product mix in the deposit portfolio and spread compression in the deposit and loan portfolios. Noninterest expense increased $36 million, or nine percent, primarily due to increases in personnel expense driven by the expansion of client facing associates and higher revenue-generated operating costs.

The growth in PB&I revenues was 11 percent, of which approximately eight percent was attributable to the impact of migration and three percent reflected incremental organic growth. For the same period, PB&I net income grew 12 percent, of which approximately 11 percent was attributable to the impact of migration, and one percent to incremental organic growth.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income increased $93 million compared to the same period in 2006 due to increases in noninterest income of $150 million and net interest income of $99 million partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $107 million. These period-over-period changes were driven by the same factors as described in the three month discussion above.

The reported growth in PB&I revenues was 10 percent, of which approximately six percent was attributable to the impact of migration and four percent reflected incremental organic growth. For the same period, PB&I net income grew 10 percent, of which approximately eight percent was attributable to the impact of migration and two percent reflected incremental organic growth.

ALM/Other

ALM/Other primarily includes the results of ALM activities.

Net income decreased $35 million, or 67 percent and $61 million, or 37 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. The decrease in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was driven by an increase noninterest expense of $47 million related to marketing and other costs. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was driven by a $62 million decrease in net interest income due to a reduction in the contribution from ALM activities.

The securitization offset on net interest income is on a funds transfer pricing methodology consistent with the way funding costs are allocated to the businesses.

⁽³⁾

FTE basis

⁽⁴⁾

For more information on merger and restructuring charges, see Note 2 – Merger and Restructuring Activity to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

GCSBB is reported on a managed basis which includes a “securitization impact” adjustment which has the effect of assuming that loans that have been securitized were not sold and presenting these loans in a manner similar to the way loans that have not been sold are presented. All Other’s results include a corresponding “securitization offset” which removes the impact of these securitized loans in order to present the consolidated results of the Corporation on a GAAP basis (i.e., held basis). See the GCSBB section beginning on page 65 for information on the GCSBB managed results. The following All Other discussion focuses on the results on an as adjusted basis excluding the offsetting securitization impact. For additional information, see Note 17 – Business Segment Information to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition to the offsetting securitization impact discussed above, All Other includes our Equity Investments businesses and Other.

Equity Investments includes Principal Investing, Corporate Investments and Strategic Investments. Principal Investing is comprised of a diversified portfolio of investments in privately-held and publicly-traded companies at all stages of their life cycle from start-up to buyout. These investments are made either directly in a company or held through a fund and are accounted for at fair value. In addition, Principal Investing has unfunded equity commitments related to some of these investments. For more information on these commitments see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Corporate Investments primarily includes investments in publicly-traded equity securities and funds which are accounted for as AFS marketable equity securities. Strategic Investments includes the Corporation’s strategic investments in China Construction Bank (CCB), Grupo Financiero Santander Serfin (Santander), Banco Itaú and other investments. The restricted shares of CCB and Banco Itaú are currently carried at cost but, as required by GAAP, will be accounted for as AFS marketable equity securities and carried at fair value with an offset to accumulated OCI starting one year prior to the lapse of their restrictions. We also hold an option to increase our ownership interest in CCB to 19.1 percent. This option expires in February 2011. The strike price of the option is based on the initial public offering price that steps up on an annual basis beginning at 103 percent and is capped at 118 percent depending on when the option is exercised. Our investment in Santander is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Income associated with Equity Investments is recorded in equity investment income.

The following table presents the components of All Other’s equity investment income and a reconciliation to the total consolidated equity investment income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

The Other component of All Other includes the residual impact of the allowance for credit losses and the cost allocation processes, merger and restructuring charges, intersegment eliminations, and the results of certain businesses that are expected to be or have been sold or are in the process of being liquidated. Other also includes certain amounts associated with ALM activities, including the residual impact of funds transfer pricing allocation methodologies, amounts associated with the change in the value of derivatives used as economic hedges of interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations that do not qualify for SFAS 133 hedge accounting treatment, foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to SFAS 52 revaluation of foreign denominated debt issuances, certain gains (losses) on sales of whole mortgage loans, and gains (losses) on sales of debt securities. The objective of the funds transfer pricing allocation methodology is to minimize the impact to the businesses from changes in interest rate and foreign exchange fluctuations. Other also includes adjustments to noninterest income and income tax expense to remove the FTE impact of items (primarily low-income housing tax credits) that have been grossed up within noninterest income to a FTE amount in the business segments.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income remained relatively unchanged at $547 million as decreases in net interest income and noninterest income were offset by a decrease in all other noninterest expense and merger and restructuring charges.

Net interest income decreased $400 million resulting largely from the absence of net interest income due to the sale of the Latin American operations and Hong Kong based retail and commercial banking business which were included in the Corporation’s 2006 results. Net interest income was also adversely impacted by the adoption of a new accounting standard (FSP 13-2) which decreased net interest income by approximately $55 million.

Noninterest income decreased $277 million primarily due to the absence of a $720 million (pre-tax) gain on the sale of our Brazilian operations partially offset by a loss of $496 million on the sale of mortgage-backed debt securities, both of which occurred in the prior year. Also, equity investment income increased $165 million primarily due to a $353 million dividend from CCB, which included a special dividend of $184 million prior to CCB’s recent share listing. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in gains on our Principal Investing portfolio. Noninterest income was also adversely impacted by the absence of noninterest income due to the sale of the Latin American operations and Hong Kong based retail and commercial banking business which were included in the Corporation’s 2006 results.

Merger and restructuring charges decreased $185 million to $84 million compared to $269 million for the same period a year ago due largely to declining integration work associated with the MBNA acquisition partially offset by $46 million in charges associated with the integration of U.S. Trust Corporation. For additional information on merger and restructuring charges, see Note 2 – Merger and Restructuring Activity to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

All other noninterest expense decreased $421 million resulting largely from the absence of operating costs after the sale of the Latin America operations and Hong Kong based retail and commercial banking business which were included in the Corporation’s 2006 results in addition to decreases in unallocated residual general operating expenses.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net income increased $1.3 billion to $2.1 billion primarily due to decreases in all other noninterest expense, merger and restructuring charges and provision for credit losses, combined with an increase in total revenue.

Total revenue increased $352 million to $2.9 billion. In addition to the factors described above, the increase in total revenue was due to the $600 million increase in value related to the gain on the sale of private equity funds to Conversus Capital and the absence of a $175 million mark-to-market loss for certain economic hedges that did not qualify for SFAS 133 hedge accounting during 2006.

Provision for credit losses decreased $248 million to negative $266 million compared to negative $18 million in the same period a year ago, mainly due to reserve reductions due to the sale of our Argentina portfolio during the first quarter of 2007 and improved performance of the remaining portfolios from consumer finance businesses that we have exited.

The decreases in all other noninterest expense of $886 million and merger and restructuring charges of $291 million were driven by the same factors as described in the three month discussion above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we support our customers’ financing needs by facilitating their access to the commercial paper market. In addition, we utilize certain financing arrangements to meet our balance sheet management, funding and liquidity needs. For additional information on our liquidity risk see Liquidity Risk and Capital Management beginning on page 93. These activities utilize SPEs, typically in the form of corporations, limited liability companies, or trusts, which raise funds by issuing short-term commercial paper or similar instruments to third party investors. These SPEs typically hold various types of financial assets whose cash flows are the primary source of repayment for the liabilities of the SPEs. Investors have recourse to the assets in the SPE and often benefit from other credit enhancements, such as overcollateralization in the form of excess assets in the SPE, liquidity facilities, and other arrangements. As a result, the SPEs can typically obtain a favorable credit rating from the rating agencies, resulting in lower financing costs for our customers.

We have liquidity agreements, SBLCs or other arrangements with the SPEs, as described below, under which we are obligated to provide funding in the event of a market disruption or other specified event or otherwise provide credit support to the entities (hereinafter referred to as liquidity exposure). We manage our credit risk and any market risk on these arrangements by subjecting them to our normal underwriting and risk management processes. Our credit ratings and changes thereto will affect the borrowing cost and liquidity of these SPEs. In addition, significant changes in counterparty asset valuation and credit standing may also affect the ability of the SPEs to issue commercial paper. The contractual or notional amount of these commitments as presented in Table 10, represents our maximum possible funding obligation and is not, in management’s view, representative of expected losses or funding requirements. From time to time, we may purchase commercial paper issued by these SPEs in connection with market-making activities or for investment purposes. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, there were extreme dislocations which occurred in the credit markets, including the commercial paper market, where certain investment activities were affected. As a result, at September 30, 2007, we held $6.5 billion of commercial paper issued by the SPEs summarized in the table below, including $2.2 billion issued by consolidated SPEs. At December 31, 2006, we held $123 million.

The following table presents our liquidity exposure to these SPEs, which include VIEs and QSPEs. VIEs are SPEs which lack sufficient equity at risk or whose equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest. QSPEs are SPEs whose activities are strictly limited to holding and servicing financial assets. Some, but not all, of the liquidity commitments to VIEs are considered to be significant variable interests and are disclosed in Note 9 – Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Those liquidity commitments that are not significant variable interests are not required to be included in Note 9 – Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

⁽¹⁾

We have a significant variable interest in both consolidated and unconsolidated corporation sponsored multi-seller conduits and CDOs, as well as consolidated asset acquisition conduits and municipal bond trusts; therefore these exposures are also included in Note 9 - Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not have a significant variable interest in unconsolidated asset acquisition conduits, municipal bond trusts and other SPEs, and customer-sponsored conduits; therefore these exposures are not included in Note 9 - Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

⁽²⁾

We consolidate VIEs when we are the primary beneficiary that will absorb the majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns of the VIEs or both.

Corporation-sponsored multi-seller conduits

We administer three multi-seller conduits which provide a low-cost funding alternative to our customers by facilitating their access to the commercial paper market. Our customers sell or otherwise transfer assets to the conduits, which in turn issue high-grade, short-term commercial paper that is collateralized by the underlying assets. We receive fees for providing combinations of liquidity and SBLCs or similar loss protection commitments to the conduits. These commitments represent significant variable interests in the SPEs, which are discussed in more detail in Note 9 – Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are the primary beneficiary of one conduit which is included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not consolidate the other two conduits, which issued capital notes to independent third parties, as we do not expect to absorb a majority of the variability of the conduits.

At September 30, 2007, our liquidity commitments to the conduits were collateralized by various classes of assets, including student loans of 24 percent, credit card loans of 13 percent, auto loans and trade receivables of eight percent each, and prime residential mortgages of four percent. Less than one percent of these commitments are collateralized by subprime residential mortgages. In addition, 27 percent of our commitments were collateralized by the conduits’ short-term lending obligations to investment funds (e.g., real estate limited partnerships, private equity or venture capital funds). Amounts advanced under these obligations will be repaid when the investment funds issue capital calls to their qualified equity investors. These liquidity commitments and SBLCs provided to unconsolidated conduits are included in Table 11.

Collateralized debt obligations

CDOs are SPEs that hold diversified pools of fixed income securities. They issue multiple tranches of debt securities, including commercial paper, and equity securities. We receive fees for structuring the CDOs and/or placing debt securities with third party investors.

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we provided liquidity support in the form of written put options on $10.0 billion and $2.1 billion of commercial paper issued by CDOs, including $3.2 billion issued by the consolidated CDO at September 30, 2007. The commercial paper is the most senior class of securities issued by the CDOs and benefits from the subordination of all other securities, including AAA-rated securities, issued by the CDOs. We are obligated under the written put options to provide funding to the CDOs by purchasing the commercial paper at predetermined contractual yields in the event of a severe disruption in the short-term funding market. See Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the written put options. These written put options are recorded as derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in trading account profits (losses). Derivative activity related to these entities is included in Note 4 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We also administer a CDO conduit that obtains funds by issuing commercial paper to third party investors. The conduit held $5.5 billion of assets at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 consisting of super senior tranches of debt securities issued by other CDOs. These securities benefit from overcollateralization exceeding the amount that would be required for a AAA rating. We provide liquidity support equal to the amount of assets in this conduit which obligates us to purchase the commercial paper at a predetermined contractual yield in the event of a severe disruption in the short-term funding market. Our liquidity commitment to the conduit is included in Table 11. For more information on our CDO exposures at September 30, 2007, refer to the discussion beginning on page 78.

Asset acquisition conduits

We administer two unconsolidated conduits which acquire assets on behalf of our customers. The return on the assets held in the conduits, which consist principally of liquid exchange-traded securities, is passed through to our customers through a series of derivative contracts. We consolidate a third conduit which holds subordinated debt securities for our benefit. These conduits obtain funding through the issuance of commercial paper and subordinated certificates to third party investors. Repayment of the commercial paper and certificates is assured by derivative contracts between the Corporation and the conduits, and we are reimbursed through the derivative contracts with our customers. Our performance under the derivatives is collateralized by the underlying assets. Derivative activity related to these entities is included in Note 4 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Municipal bond trusts and other SPEs

We administer municipal bond trusts that hold highly-rated, long-term, fixed-rate municipal bonds and obtain financing by issuing floating-rate trust certificates that reprice on a weekly basis to third party investors. The floating-rate investors have the right to tender the certificates upon repricing. We serve as remarketing agent and liquidity provider for the trusts. Should we be unable to remarket the tendered certificates, we are obligated to purchase them at par. The total notional amount of floating-rate certificates for which we provide liquidity support was $4.6 billion and $2.6 billion at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Some of these trusts are QSPEs. We consolidate those trusts that are not QSPEs if we hold the residual interest or otherwise expect to absorb a majority of the variability of the trusts. Our liquidity commitments to unconsolidated trusts are included in Table 11.

In addition, we administer several conduits that held $4.2 billion and $5.3 billion of assets at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, primarily high-grade, long-term agency mortgage-backed securities. These conduits, which are QSPEs, obtain funding by issuing commercial paper to third party investors. We have entered into derivative contracts which provide interest rate, currency and a pre-specified amount of credit protection to the entities in exchange for the commercial paper rate. If an asset’s rating declines below a certain investment quality as evidenced by its investment rating or defaults, we are no longer exposed to the risk of loss.

Derivative activity related to these entities is included in Note 4 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For more information on QSPEs, see Note 8 – Securitizations to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

Customer conduits

We provide liquidity facilities to conduits that are sponsored by our customers and which provide them with direct access to the commercial paper market. We are typically one of several liquidity providers for a customer’s conduit. We do not provide SBLCs or other forms of credit enhancement to these conduits. Assets of these conduits consist primarily of auto loans, monoline-wrapped consumer receivables, and credit card receivables. The liquidity commitments benefit from structural protections which vary depending upon the program, but given these protections, the exposures are viewed to be of investment grade quality.

These commitments are included in Table 11. As we typically provide less than 20 percent of the total liquidity commitments to these conduits and do not provide other forms of support, we have concluded that we do not hold a significant variable interest in the conduits and they are not included in our discussion of VIEs in Note 9 – Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Obligations and Commitments

We have contractual obligations to make future payments on debt and lease agreements. Additionally, in the normal course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements whereby we commit to future purchases of products or services from unaffiliated parties. These obligations are more fully discussed in Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 12 – Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt and Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

Many of our lending relationships contain funded and unfunded elements. The funded portion is reflected on our balance sheet. For lending relationships carried at historical cost, the unfunded component of these commitments is not recorded on our balance sheet until a draw is made under the credit facility; however, a reserve is established for probable losses. For lending commitments for which we have elected to account for under SFAS 159, the fair value of the commitment is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

For more information on these commitments and guarantees, see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For more information on the adoption of SFAS 159, see Note 15 – Fair Value Disclosures to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table summarizes the total unfunded, or off-balance sheet, credit extension commitment amounts by expiration date. At September 30, 2007, the unfunded lending commitments related to charge cards (nonrevolving card lines) to individuals and government entities guaranteed by the U.S. government in the amount of $10.7 billion (related outstandings of $265 million) were not included in credit card line commitments in the table below.

Includes commitments of $50.0 billion to corporation-sponsored multi-seller conduits, $5.5 billion to CDOs, $4.3 billion to municipal bond trusts and $2.7 billion to customer-sponsored conduits at September 30, 2007.

Legally binding commitments to extend credit generally have specified rates and maturities. Certain of these commitments have adverse change clauses that help to protect us against deterioration in the borrowers’ ability to pay.

We facilitate bridge financing (high grade debt, high yield debt and equity) to fund acquisitions, recapitalizations and other short-term needs as well as provide syndicated financing for clients. For more information on our bridge financing, see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Commitments

We provided support to a cash fund advised within the GWIM business segment by purchasing certain assets for cash at fair market value and by committing to provide a limited amount of capital to the fund. In addition, we may from time to time, but are under no obligation to, provide additional support to funds advised within the GWIM business segment. Future support, if any, may take the form of a commitment to provide capital to the funds or to purchase certain assets from the funds.

Managing Risk

Our management governance structure enables us to manage all major aspects of our business through an integrated planning and review process that includes strategic, financial, associate, customer and risk planning. We derive much of our revenue from managing risk from customer transactions for profit. In addition to qualitative factors, we utilize quantitative measures to optimize risk and reward trade offs in order to achieve growth targets and financial objectives while reducing the variability of earnings and minimizing unexpected losses. Risk metrics that allow us to measure performance include economic capital targets and corporate risk limits. By allocating economic capital to a business unit, we effectively manage that unit’s ability to take on risk. Review and approval of business plans incorporates approval of economic capital allocation, and economic capital usage is monitored through financial and risk reporting. Industry, country, trading, asset allocation and other limits supplement the allocation of economic capital. These limits are based on an analysis of risk and reward in each business unit and management is responsible for tracking and reporting performance measurements as well as any exceptions to guidelines or limits. Our risk management process continually evaluates risk and appropriate metrics needed to measure it. Our business exposes us to the following major risks: strategic, liquidity, credit, market, operational and event. For a more detailed discussion of our risk management activities, see pages 34 through 69 of the MD&A filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

Strategic Risk Management

We use an integrated planning process to help manage strategic risk. A key component of the planning process aligns strategies, goals, tactics and resources throughout the enterprise. The process begins with the creation of a corporate-wide business plan which incorporates an assessment of the strategic risks. This business plan establishes the corporate strategic direction. The planning process then cascades through the business units, creating business unit plans that are aligned with the Corporation’s strategic direction. At each level, tactics and metrics are identified to measure success in achieving goals and assure adherence to the plans. As part of this process, the business units continuously evaluate the impact of changing market and business conditions, and the overall risk in meeting objectives. See the Operational Risk Management section on page 129 for a further description of this process. Corporate Audit in turn monitors, and independently reviews and evaluates, the plans and measurement processes.

One of the key tools we use to manage strategic risk is economic capital allocation. Through the economic capital allocation process, we effectively manage each business unit’s ability to take on risk. Review and approval of business plans incorporates approval of economic capital allocation, and economic capital usage is monitored through financial and risk reporting. Economic capital allocation plans for the business units are incorporated into the Corporation’s operating plan that is approved by the Board on an annual basis.

Liquidity Risk and Capital Management

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity is the ongoing ability to accommodate liability maturities and deposit withdrawals, fund asset growth and business operations, and meet contractual obligations through unconstrained access to funding at reasonable market rates. Liquidity management involves forecasting funding requirements and maintaining sufficient capacity to meet the needs and accommodate fluctuations in asset and liability levels due to changes in our business operations or unanticipated events. A more detailed discussion of our liquidity risk is included beginning on page 36 of the MD&A filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

One ratio that can be used to monitor the stability of funding composition is the “loan to domestic deposit” ratio. This ratio reflects the percent of loans and leases that are funded by domestic deposits, a relatively stable funding source. A ratio below 100 percent indicates that our loan portfolio is completely funded by domestic deposits. The ratio was 132 percent at September 30, 2007 compared to 118 percent at December 31, 2006. The increase was attributable to organic growth in the loan and lease portfolio, and a decision to retain a larger share of mortgage production on the Corporation’s balance sheet instead of AFS debt securities.

The parent company maintains a cushion of excess liquidity that would be sufficient to fully fund holding company and nonbank affiliate operations for an extended period during which funding from normal sources is disrupted. The primary measure used to assess the parent company’s liquidity is the “Time to Required Funding” during such a period of liquidity disruption. The Corporation’s target range for “Time to Required Funding” is 21 to 27 months and is the primary driver of the timing and amount of the Corporation’s debt issuances. At September 30, 2007, the pre-funding for the LaSalle acquisition increased “Time to Required Funding” to 28 months compared to 24 months at December 31, 2006. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we expect the “Time to Required Funding” to decrease slightly below our target range as a result of the funding of the LaSalle acquisition but we expect it to recover in 2008.

We originate loans and securities for retention on our balance sheet and for distribution. As part of our “originate to distribute” strategy, commercial loan originations and underwritten securities are distributed through syndication and placement, and residential mortgages originated by Consumer Real Estate are frequently distributed in the secondary market. In connection with our balance sheet management activities, we may retain mortgage loans originated as well as purchase and sell loans based on our assessment of market conditions. Market disruptions or unexpected events in the marketplace may impact liquidity (i.e., delay or impact our ability to distribute) and may heighten exposure in the portfolios resulting in higher potential for loss unless an orderly disposition of the exposure can be made. Additionally, the Corporation has liquidity agreements, SBLCs or other arrangements with the SPEs under which the Corporation is obligated to provide funding in the event of a market disruption or other specified event or otherwise provide credit support to these entities. The funding of these liquidity exposures may have an adverse impact on the Corporation’s liquidity. For more information on these entities and how they impact the Corporation’s liquidity, see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements on page 88.

In July 2007, the Corporation completed the acquisition of U.S. Trust Corporation for $3.3 billion in cash. The Corporation’s Tier 1 and Total Capital Ratios were reduced by approximately 30 bps and its Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was reduced by approximately 25 bps at September 30, 2007 as a result of this acquisition.

In October 2007, the Corporation completed the purchase of LaSalle for $21.0 billion in cash. Based on the Corporation’s funding assumptions, earnings, balance sheet composition and the timing of additional capital issuances, the Corporation anticipates that at the end of the fourth quarter, its Tier 1 Capital Ratio may be lower than our original estimate of 7.50 percent.

Common Share Repurchases

We may continue to repurchase shares, from time to time, in the open market or in private transactions through our approved repurchase programs. We repurchased approximately 71.0 million shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 which more than offset the 49.7 million shares issued under employee stock plans. During 2007, we reduced the number of shares we repurchased under our share repurchase programs in anticipation of the LaSalle transaction. We expect to continue to repurchase a number of shares of common stock comparable to any shares issued under our employee stock plans.

In January 2007, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program of an additional 200 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost not to exceed $14.0 billion and is limited to a period of 12 to 18 months of which the lesser of approximately $13.6 billion, or 192.1 million shares, remains available for repurchase under the program at September 30, 2007.

In April 2006, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 200 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost not to exceed $12.0 billion to be completed within a period of 12 to 18 months. This repurchase plan was completed during the third quarter 2007.

For additional information on common share repurchases, see Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity and Earnings Per Common Share to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Preferred Stock Issuance

In September 2007, the Corporation issued 22 thousand shares of Bank of America Corporation 6.625% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series I with a par value of $0.01 per share for $550 million.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the inability of a borrower or counterparty to meet its obligations. Credit risk can also arise from operational failures that result in an erroneous advance, commitment or investment of funds. We define the credit exposure to a borrower or counterparty as the loss potential arising from all product classifications including loans and leases, derivatives, trading account assets, assets held-for-sale, and unfunded lending commitments that include loan commitments, letters of credit and financial guarantees. Derivative positions, trading account assets and assets held-for-sale are recorded at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. Loans and unfunded commitments, for which the Corporation elected to account for at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159, are also recorded at fair value. Credit risk for these categories of assets is not accounted for as part of the allowance for credit losses but accounted for as part of the fair value adjustment recorded in earnings in the period incurred. For derivative positions, our credit risk is measured as the net replacement cost in the event the counterparties with contracts in a gain position to us fail to perform under the terms of those contracts. We use the current mark-to-market value to represent credit exposure without giving consideration to future mark-to-market changes. The credit risk amounts take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral. Our consumer and commercial credit extension and review procedures take into account funded and unfunded credit exposures. For additional information on derivatives and credit extension commitments, see Note 4 – Derivatives and Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For credit risk purposes, we evaluate our consumer businesses on both a held and managed basis. Managed basis assumes that loans that have been securitized were not sold and presents earnings on these loans in a manner similar to the way loans that have not been sold (i.e., held loans) are presented. We evaluate credit performance on a managed basis as the receivables that have been securitized are subject to the same underwriting standards and ongoing monitoring as held loans. In addition to the discussion of credit quality statistics of both held and managed loans included in this section, refer to the Card Services discussion beginning on page 68.

We manage credit risk based on the risk profile of the borrower or counterparty, repayment sources, the nature of underlying collateral, and other support given current events, conditions and expectations. We classify our portfolios as either consumer or commercial and monitor credit risk separately as discussed below.

Consumer Portfolio Credit Risk Management

For a detailed discussion of our consumer portfolio credit risk management process, see page 41 of the MD&A filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

Management of Consumer Credit Risk Concentrations

Consumer credit risk is evaluated and managed with a goal that credit concentrations do not result in undesirable levels of risk. We review, measure and manage credit exposure by product and geography in order to achieve the desired mix. Consumer real estate loans are reviewed and managed by geographic location and property type. Additionally, to enhance our overall risk management strategy credit protection is purchased on certain portions of our portfolio.

Our consumer loan portfolio in the state of California represented 24 percent and 23 percent of total managed consumer loans at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 primarily driven by the residential mortgage portfolio. No single Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) within California or any other state represented more than 10 percent of the total consumer portfolio.

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had mitigated a portion of our credit risk on approximately $152.7 billion and $131.0 billion of consumer loans, primarily residential mortgage loans, through the purchase of credit protection. Our regulatory risk-weighted assets were reduced as a result of theses transactions because we transferred a portion of our credit risk to unaffiliated parties. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, these transactions had the cumulative effect of reducing our risk-weighted assets by $37.9 billion and $36.4 billion, and resulted in increases of 27 bps and 30 bps in our Tier 1 Capital ratio at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Consumer Credit Portfolio

Table 14 presents our held and managed consumer loans and leases, and related credit quality information at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Overall consumer credit quality remained sound, but credit costs continued to increase compared to the unusually low levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform. Additionally, our home equity portfolio experienced some weakness reflective of growth in this business and the weak housing market.

Residential Mortgage

The residential mortgage portfolio makes up the largest percentage of our consumer loan portfolio at 52 percent of held consumer loans and leases and 44 percent of managed consumer loans and leases at September 30, 2007. Approximately 25 percent of the managed residential portfolio is in GCSBB and GWIM and represents residential mortgages that are originated for the home purchase and refinancing needs of our customers. The remaining portion of the managed portfolio is in All Other, and is comprised of $129.7 billion, or 47 percent, of purchased and $76.7 billion, or 28 percent, of originated residential mortgage loans used in our overall ALM activities.

Residential mortgage loans to borrowers in the state of California represented 34 percent and 33 percent of total residential mortgage loans at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana MSA within California represented 11 percent of the total residential mortgage portfolio at both September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. No other single MSA within California or any other state represented more than 10 percent of the residential mortgage portfolio at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. A portion of credit risk on 63 percent of our residential mortgage loans in California was mitigated through the purchase of credit protection. See Management of Consumer Credit Risk Concentrations on page 97 for more information.

On a held basis, outstanding loans and leases increased $30.6 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 driven by retained mortgage production. Nonperforming balances increased $516 million due to portfolio seasoning reflective of growth in the business and the impact of the weak housing market. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest of $112 million are related to repurchases pursuant to our servicing agreements with Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) mortgage pools whose repayments are insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Credit Card – Domestic and Foreign

The consumer credit card portfolio is managed in Card Services. Outstandings in the held domestic credit card loan portfolio decreased $2.5 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 due to an increase in securitized levels partially offset by growth in the portfolio. The $442 million decrease in held domestic loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest was driven by the addition of legacy Bank of America accounts to the domestic securitization master trust and increased securitizations from the trust.

Net charge-offs for the held domestic portfolio decreased $141 million to $712 million, or 4.91 percent of total average held credit card – domestic loans compared to 5.42 percent in the third quarter of 2006. The decline was due to the addition of legacy Bank of America accounts which have a higher loss profile to the domestic consumer credit card securitization master trust and increased securitizations from the trust as well as the absence of 2006 charge-offs related to changes made in credit card minimum payment requirements. These decreases were partially offset by portfolio seasoning and increases from the unusually low loss levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net charge-offs increased $115 million to $2.3 billion, or 5.44 percent of total average loans compared to 4.53 percent (4.71 percent excluding the impact of SOP 03-3) for the same period a year ago due to portfolio seasoning and increases from the unusually low charge-off levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform. These increases were partially offset by the addition of legacy Bank of America accounts which have a higher loss profile to the domestic consumer credit card securitization master trust, increased securitizations from the trust as well as the absence of 2006 charge-offs related to changes made in credit card minimum payment requirements.

Managed domestic credit card outstandings increased $1.1 billion to $143.7 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 due to an increase in cash volumes and lower payment rates. Managed net losses increased $228 million to $1.7 billion, or 4.76 percent of total average managed domestic loans compared to 4.23 percent in the third quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, managed net losses increased $1.4 billion to $5.1 billion, or 4.91 percent of total average managed loans compared to 3.65 percent for the same period a year ago. These increases were primarily due to portfolio seasoning and increases from the unusually low loss levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform.

Outstandings in the held foreign credit card loan portfolio increased $2.0 billion to $13.0 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 due to growth in the portfolio from strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar combined with organic growth. Net charge-offs for the held foreign portfolio increased $26 million to $96 million, or 3.19 percent of total average held credit card – foreign loans compared to 2.94 percent in the third quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net charge-offs increased $124 million to $270 million, or 3.09 percent of average loans compared to 2.24 percent (2.98 percent excluding the impact of SOP 03-3) for the same period a year ago. The increases in held net charge-offs were due to seasoning of the European portfolio and strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.

Managed foreign credit card outstandings increased $2.2 billion to $30.0 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 due to the same reasons as the increase in held outstandings stated above. Net losses for the managed foreign portfolio increased $48 million to $317 million, or 4.24 percent of total average managed credit card – foreign loans for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 4.17 percent a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net losses increased $243 million to $932 million, or 4.31 percent of average managed loans compared to 3.82 percent for the same period a year ago. The increases in managed net losses were due to the same reasons as the increases in held net charge-offs stated above.

See below for a discussion of the impact of SOP 03-3 on 2006 managed losses and net charge-offs.

Home Equity

At September 30, 2007, approximately 73 percent of the managed home equity portfolio was included in GCSBB, while the remainder of the portfolio was mostly in GWIM. This portfolio consists of both revolving and non-revolving first and second lien residential mortgage loans and lines of credit. On a held basis, outstanding home equity loans increased $13.2 billion, or 15 percent, at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006, as organic home equity production remained strong. Nonperforming home equity loans increased $473 million compared to December 31, 2006 and net charge-offs increased $39 million and $63 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. These increases were primarily driven by seasoning of the portfolio, reflective of growth in the business and the impact of the weak housing market, including the impact of declines in home prices in certain geographic areas on net charge-off levels.

Direct/Indirect Consumer

At September 30, 2007, approximately 54 percent of the managed direct/indirect portfolio was included in Business Lending (automotive, marine, motorcycle and recreational vehicle loans); 39 percent was included in GCSBB (student and other non-real estate secured and unsecured personal loans) and the remainder was included in GWIM (other non-real estate secured and unsecured personal loans).

On a held basis, outstanding loans and leases increased $14.9 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 due to retail automotive portfolio purchases, growth in the Card Services unsecured lending product and reduced securitization activity. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest increased $164 million due to portfolio seasoning reflective of growth in the businesses. Net charge-offs increased $160 million to 1.78 percent of total average held direct/indirect loans compared to 1.17 percent a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net charge-offs increased $454 million to 1.60 percent of average loans compared to 0.92 percent (1.11 percent excluding the impact of SOP 03-3) for the same period a year ago. The increases were primarily driven by seasoning and increases from the unusually low charge-off levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform in the Card Services unsecured lending portfolio, the impact of the Corporation discontinuing sales of receivables into the unsecured lending trust and, to a lesser extent, higher net charge-offs in the retail automotive portfolio due to portfolio growth and seasoning.

Managed direct/indirect loans outstanding increased $11.6 billion to $73.9 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006, driven by retail automotive portfolio purchases and growth in the Card Services unsecured lending product. Net losses for the managed loan portfolio increased $124 million to $362 million, or 1.96 percent of total average managed direct/indirect loans for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 1.58 percent a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net losses increased $432 million to 1.86 percent compared to 1.29 percent a year ago. The increases were primarily driven by seasoning and increases from the unusually low loss levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform in the Card Services unsecured lending portfolio and higher net charge-offs in the retail automotive portfolio due portfolio growth and seasoning.

See below for a discussion of the impact of SOP 03-3 on 2006 managed losses and net charge-offs.

Other Consumer

At September 30, 2007, approximately 59 percent of the other consumer portfolio consists of the foreign consumer loan portfolio which was included in Card Services. The remainder was primarily associated with the portfolios from consumer finance businesses that we have exited and was included in All Other. The Corporation also classifies deposit overdraft charge-offs as other consumer. Other consumer outstanding loans and leases decreased $1.2 billion, or 13 percent, as of September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006, driven mainly by the sale of our Latin American operations. Net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as a percentage of total average other consumer loans increased 296 bps and 251 bps (277 bps and 205 bps excluding the impact of SOP 03-3) compared to the same periods a year ago. These increases were driven by overdraft net charge-offs associated with deposit account growth and expanded activities. Also contributing to the increases were higher loan net charge-offs in the European consumer portfolio primarily due to seasoning and strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar.

See below for a discussion of the impact of SOP 03-3 on 2006 managed losses and net charge-offs.

101

SOP 03-3

In accordance with SOP 03-3, certain acquired loans of MBNA that were considered impaired were written down to fair value at the acquisition date. Therefore, reported net charge-offs and managed net losses were lower since these impaired loans that would have been charged off during the period were reduced to fair value as of the acquisition date. For additional information on SOP 03-3, see page 44 of the MD&A filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

Consumer net charge-offs, managed net losses and associated ratios as reported and excluding the impact of SOP 03-3 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are presented in Table 16. Management believes that excluding the impact of SOP 03-3 provides a more accurate reflection of portfolio credit quality. The impact of SOP 03-3 on net charge-offs and managed net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was not material.

Nonperforming Consumer Assets Activity

Table 17 presents the additions and reductions to nonperforming assets in the held consumer portfolio during the most recent five quarters. Nonperforming levels have increased over the past four quarters and were driven by seasoning of the home equity and residential mortgage portfolios reflective of growth in these businesses and the weakening housing market. These impacts were more pronounced during the third quarter of 2007. The nonperforming consumer loans and leases ratio was 0.39 percent compared to 0.21 percent for the same period in 2006.

Commercial Portfolio Credit Risk Management

For a detailed discussion of our commercial portfolio credit risk management process, see page 45 of the MD&A filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

Management of Commercial Credit Risk Concentrations

Portfolio credit risk is evaluated and managed with a goal that concentrations of credit exposure do not result in undesirable levels of risk. We review, measure, and manage concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography and customer relationship. Distribution of loans and leases by loan size is an additional measure of the portfolio risk diversification. We also review, measure, and manage commercial real estate loans by geographic location and property type. In addition, within our international portfolio, we evaluate borrowings by region and by country. Tables 22, 24 and 27 summarize our concentrations. Additionally, we utilize syndication of exposure to third parties, loan sales, hedging and other risk mitigation techniques to manage the size and risk profile of the loan portfolio.

From the perspective of portfolio risk management, customer concentration management is most relevant in GCIB. Within that segment’s Business Lending and Capital Markets and Advisory Services businesses, we facilitate bridge financing (high grade debt, high yield debt and equity) to fund acquisitions, recapitalizations and other short-term needs as well as provide syndicated financing for our clients. These concentrations are managed in part through our established “originate to distribute” strategy. These client transactions are sometimes large and leveraged. They can also have a higher degree of risk as we are providing offers or commitments for various components of the clients’ capital structures, including lower rated unsecured and subordinated debt tranches and/or equity. In many cases, these offers to finance will not be accepted. If accepted, these conditional commitments are often retired prior to or shortly following funding via the placement of securities, syndication or the client’s decision to terminate. Where we have a binding commitment and there is a market disruption or other unexpected event, there may be heightened exposure in the portfolios, and higher potential for loss, unless an orderly disposition of the exposure can be made. For additional information on bridge financing, see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the GCIB discussion beginning on page 73.

Prior to January 1, 2007, the Corporation accounted for all loans in the held-to-maturity portfolio on a historical cost basis and incurred losses on this portfolio as part of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation elected to account for certain large corporate loans and loan commitments (including issued but unfunded letters of credit which are considered utilized for credit risk management purposes), which exceed the Corporation’s single name credit risk concentration guidelines at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159.

After initial adoption of SFAS 159, any fair value adjustment upon origination and subsequent changes in the fair value of loans and unfunded commitments is recorded in other income. By including the credit risk of the borrower in the fair value adjustments, any credit deterioration or improvement is recorded immediately as part of the fair value adjustment. As a result, the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments are no longer used to capture credit losses inherent in these nonperforming or impaired loans and unfunded commitments. The remaining Commercial Credit Portfolio tables have been modified to exclude loans and unfunded commitments that are carried at fair value and to adjust certain ratios for this accounting change. See Note 15 – Fair Value Disclosures to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the adoption of SFAS 159.

The Corporation initially adopted the fair value option for $4.0 billion of outstanding commercial loans as of January 1, 2007 and recorded pre-tax net losses of $21 million (net of adjustments related to the allowance for loan and lease losses and direct loan origination fees and costs) representing the excess of carrying value over fair value of the funded loans, with the after-tax amount recorded in retained earnings. At September 30, 2007, outstanding commercial loans measured at fair value had an aggregate fair value of $4.53 billion recorded in loans and leases and included commercial – domestic loans of $3.63 billion, commercial – foreign loans of $672 million and commercial real estate loans of $224 million. The Corporation recorded net losses of $79 million and $78 million in other income resulting from changes in fair value of these loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The Corporation also initially adopted the fair value option for $21.1 billion of unfunded commercial commitments, including letters of credit, as of January 1, 2007, and recorded pre-tax net losses of $321 million (net of associated adjustments related to the reserve for unfunded lending commitments) representing the difference between the carrying value

104

and the fair value of the unfunded commitments, with the after-tax amount recorded in retained earnings. At September 30, 2007, unfunded commitments and letters of credit had fair values of $430 million and $24 million and were recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities. The September 30, 2007 notional amounts of unfunded commitments and letters of credit were $19.1 billion and $1.1 billion. Net losses resulting from changes in fair value of these commitments and letters of credit of $61 million and $103 million were recorded in other income and $2 million and $3 million were recorded in trading account profits (losses) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Commercial Credit Portfolio

Table 18 presents our commercial loans and leases, and related credit quality information at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Overall commercial credit quality remained sound; however, given weakened housing and capital market conditions, certain sectors began to experience weakness. The loans and leases net charge-off ratio increased to 0.37 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 0.10 percent for the same period a year ago. The increase was principally attributable to seasoning of the small business card portfolio reflective of growth in the business. The total commercial excluding small business commercial – domestic net charge-off ratio was 0.05 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and negative 0.05 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to a lower level of recoveries in 2007. The nonperforming loan ratio was 0.43 percent at September 30, 2007 compared to 0.31 percent at December 31, 2006. The accruing past due 90 days or more ratio was 0.19 percent at September 30, 2007 compared to 0.16 percent at December 31, 2006.

Table 20 presents commercial credit exposure by type for utilized, unfunded and total committed credit exposure. The increase in derivative assets of $7.4 billion was centered in credit derivatives and foreign exchange contracts, and was driven by growth in the businesses, widening credit spreads and the strengthening of the foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar. The increase in total assets held-for-sale of $5.3 billion was attributable to growth in the businesses and an increase in funded bridge loans, and an increase in warehoused assets related to pending commercial mortgage-backed securitizations.

Exposure includes standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, commercial letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances for which the bank is legally bound to advance funds under prescribed conditions, during a specified period. Although funds have not been advanced, these exposure types are considered utilized for credit risk management purposes.

⁽²⁾

Total commercial utilized exposure at September 30, 2007 includes loans and issued letters of credit measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159 and is comprised of loans outstanding of $4.53 billion and letters of credit at notional value of $1.1 billion.

⁽³⁾

Total commercial unfunded exposure at September 30, 2007 includes loan commitments measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159 with a notional value of $19.1 billion.

⁽⁴⁾

Excludes unused business card lines which are not legally binding.

⁽⁵⁾

Derivative assets are reported on a mark-to-market basis, reflect the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements, and have been reduced by cash collateral of $9.6 billion and $7.3 billion at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. In addition to cash collateral, derivative assets are also collateralized by $8.4 billion and $7.6 billion of primarily other marketable securities at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 for which credit risk has not been reduced.

⁽⁶⁾

Total commercial committed exposure consists of $18.4 billion and $11.0 billion of commercial loans held-for-sale (e.g., commercial mortgage and leveraged finance) and $11.3 billion and $14.0 billion of investments held-for-sale at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

107

Table 21 presents commercial utilized criticized exposure by product type and as a percentage of total commercial utilized exposure for each category presented. Commercial utilized criticized exposure increased $3.8 billion, or 53 percent, primarily due to increases in commercial – domestic and commercial real estate which are discussed under their respective sections below. Utilized criticized exposure related to assets held-for-sale of $2.5 billion and $600 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and other utilized criticized exposure measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159 of $917 million at September 30, 2007 are excluded from the table below. See Note 15 – Fair Value Disclosures to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the fair value portfolio. Criticized assets in the held-for-sale portfolio, including bridge exposure of $2.2 billion and $550 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 which funded in the normal course of our Business Lending and Capital Markets and Advisory Services businesses, are carried at the lower of cost or market and are managed in part through our “originate to distribute” strategy (see Management of Commercial Credit Risk Concentrations beginning on page 104 for more information on bridge financing). Had criticized exposure in the assets held-for-sale and fair value portfolios been included, the ratio of commercial utilized criticized exposure to total commercial utilized exposure would have been 3.65 percent and 2.23 percent as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Criticized exposure corresponds to the Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful asset categories defined by regulatory authorities. Balances and ratios have been adjusted to exclude assets held-for-sale at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and exposure measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159 at September 30, 2007. Had criticized exposure in the assets held-for-sale and fair value portfolios been included, the ratio of commercial utilized criticized exposure to total commercial utilized exposure would have been 3.65 percent and 2.23 percent as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

⁽²⁾

⁽³⁾

Ratios are calculated as commercial utilized criticized exposure divided by total commercial utilized exposure for each exposure category.

⁽⁴⁾

Excludes small business commercial – domestic exposure.

Commercial – Domestic

At September 30, 2007, approximately 88 percent of the commercial – domestic portfolio, excluding small business, was included in Business Lending (business banking, middle market and large multinational corporate loans and leases) and Capital Markets and Advisory Services (acquisition and bridge financing). The remaining 12 percent was primarily included in GWIM (business-purpose loans for wealthy individuals). Outstanding commercial – domestic loans and leases including loans measured at fair value, increased $16.2 billion to $164.5 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 driven primarily by organic growth and an increase in loans within GCIB. Nonperforming commercial – domestic loans increased by $141 million to $646 million driven by mortgage company exposure. Net charge-offs were up $103 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2006 driven primarily by a lower level of recoveries. Criticized utilized commercial – domestic exposure excluding assets in the held-for-sale and fair value portfolios, increased $1.1 billion to $5.9 billion primarily driven by mortgage company exposure and asset-based lending.

Commercial Real Estate

The commercial real estate portfolio is managed in Business Lending and consists of loans issued primarily to public and private developers, homebuilders and commercial real estate firms. Outstanding loans and leases, including loans measured at fair value, increased $4.3 billion to $40.6 billion as of September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006. Growth was organic and the portfolio is diversified across property types and geographic regions. Assets held-for-sale associated with commercial real estate product increased $2.4 billion to $7.6 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 driven by reduced market liquidity resulting in a higher level of warehoused assets

108

pending commercial mortgage-backed securitizations. Nonperforming commercial real estate loans increased $234 million to $352 million and utilized criticized exposure increased $2.6 billion to $3.4 billion attributable to the continuing impact of the housing slowdown on the homebuilding sector. Nonperforming loans and utilized criticized exposure in the homebuilding sector were $264 million and $2.9 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2007 compared to $71 million and $348 million at December 31, 2006. Net charge-offs were up $26 million and $28 million from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 principally related to the homebuilder sector of the portfolio. At September 30, 2007, we had $10.4 billion of loans and $17.1 billion in commercial committed exposure related to the homebuilder sector.

Table 22 presents outstanding commercial real estate loans by geographic region and property type diversification, excluding those commercial loans and leases secured by owner-occupied real estate. Commercial loans and leases secured by owner-occupied real estate are made on the general creditworthiness of the borrower where real estate is obtained as additional security and the ultimate repayment of the credit is not dependent on the sale, lease and rental, or refinancing of the real estate. For purposes of this table, commercial real estate reflects loans dependent on the sale or lease of the real estate as the primary source of repayment.

Commercial Lease Financing

The commercial lease financing portfolio is managed in Business Lending. Outstanding loans and leases decreased $1.5 billion to $20.4 billion as of September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 primarily due to the adoption of FSP 13-2. Net recoveries were $3 million and $15 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to net recoveries of $0 and $40 million in the prior year. For more information on the adoption of FSP 13-2, see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commercial – Foreign

The commercial – foreign portfolio is managed primarily in Business Lending and Capital Markets and Advisory Services. Outstanding loans and leases, including loans measured at fair value, increased by $8.3 billion to $29.0 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 driven by organic growth combined with strengthening of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by the sale of our Latin American operations. Criticized utilized exposure, excluding criticized assets in the held-for-sale and fair value portfolios, decreased $167 million to $404 million, primarily attributable to the sale of our Latin American operations. For additional information on the commercial – foreign portfolio, refer to the Foreign Portfolio discussion beginning on page 115.

Small Business Commercial – Domestic

The small business commercial – domestic portfolio (business card and small business loans) is managed in GCSBB. Outstanding small business commercial – domestic loans and leases increased $2.7 billion to $16.4 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 driven by organic growth in the small business card portfolio. Approximately 67 percent of the small business commercial – domestic outstanding loans and leases at September 30, 2007 were credit card related products. Nonperforming small business commercial – domestic loans increased $18 million to $97 million, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest increased $155 million to $354 million and criticized loans increased $261 million or 116 bps, to $638 million, or 3.88 percent, at September 30, 2007. Small business commercial – domestic net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $138 million and $346 million, or 273 bps and 243 bps, to $237 million and $592 million, or 5.89 percent and 5.27 percent. The increases were driven by portfolio seasoning reflective of growth in these businesses. Approximately 71 percent and 68 percent of the small business commercial – domestic net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were credit card related products.

Nonperforming Commercial Assets Activity

Table 23 presents the additions and reductions to nonperforming assets in the commercial portfolio during the most recent five quarters. The increase in nonaccrual loans and leases for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to homebuilder and mortgage company exposure.

Industry Concentrations

Table 24 presents commercial committed credit exposure by industry. Our commercial credit exposure is diversified across a broad range of industries. Total commercial credit exposure increased by $66.2 billion, or 11 percent, at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006. Diversified financials increased $14.6 billion, or 22 percent, due to increases in the fair value of derivatives for a number of counterparties, and increased loan and conduit volumes. Real estate increased by $6.7 billion, or nine percent, due to warehouse activity related to commercial mortgage-backed securitizations. Government and public education commitments increased $17.9 billion, or 46 percent, due primarily to financing commitments to student lenders.

Tables 25 and 26 present the maturity profiles and the credit exposure debt ratings of the net credit default protection portfolio at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Credit protection is purchased to cover the funded portion as well as the unfunded portion of certain credit exposure which exists in the historical cost and the fair value portfolios. To lessen the cost of obtaining our desired credit protection levels, credit exposure may be added within an industry, borrower or counterparty group by selling protection. Since December 31, 2006, our net credit default protection purchased has been reduced by $3.2 billion to $5.0 billion. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, we increased our net credit default protection by $3.0 billion as we continue to reposition the level of purchased protection based on our current view of the underlying credit risk in the portfolio.

The net cost of credit default protection, including mark-to-market impacts, resulted in net gains of $38 million and net losses of $17 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to net losses of $34 million and $172 million for the same periods in the prior year. Gains for the three months and losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were a reflection of the premium cost and changes in market spreads of our hedge positions. The average VAR for these credit derivative hedges was $27 million and $63 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The decrease in VAR was driven by a reduction in the average amount of credit protection outstanding during the periods as we continue to reposition the level of purchased protection based on our current view of the underlying credit risk in the portfolio. There is a diversification effect between the credit derivative hedges and the market-based trading portfolio such that their combined average VAR was $49 million and $61 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Refer to Trading Risk Management beginning on page 122 for a description of our VAR calculation for the market-based trading portfolio.

Foreign Portfolio

Our foreign credit and trading portfolio is subject to country risk. We define country risk as the risk of loss from unfavorable economic and political developments, currency fluctuations, social instability and changes in government policies. A risk management framework is in place to measure, monitor and manage foreign risk and exposures. Management oversight of country risk including cross-border risk is provided by the Country Risk Committee.

Table 27 sets forth foreign exposure to borrowers or counterparties in emerging markets. Foreign exposure includes credit exposure net of local liabilities, securities, and other investments domiciled in countries other than the U.S. Foreign exposure can be adjusted for externally guaranteed outstandings and certain collateral types. Outstandings which are assigned external guarantees are reported under the country of the guarantor. Outstandings with tangible collateral are reflected in the country where the collateral is held. For securities received, other than cross-border resale agreements, outstandings are assigned to the domicile of the issuer of the securities. Resale agreements are presented based on the domicile of the counterparty consistent with FFIEC reporting rules.

⁽¹⁾

There is no generally accepted definition of emerging markets. The definition that we use includes all countries in Asia Pacific excluding Japan, Australia and New Zealand; all countries in Latin America excluding Cayman Islands and Bermuda; all countries in Middle East and Africa; and all countries in Central and Eastern Europe excluding Greece. There was no emerging market exposure included in the portfolio measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159 at September 30, 2007.

⁽²⁾

Includes acceptances, standby letters of credit, commercial letters of credit and formal guarantees.

⁽³⁾

Derivative assets are reported on a mark-to-market basis and have been reduced by the amount of cash collateral applied of $84 million and $9 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 there were $2 million and less than $1 million of other marketable securities collateralizing derivative assets for which credit risk has not been reduced.

⁽⁴⁾

Generally, cross-border resale agreements are presented based on the domicile of the counterparty, consistent with FFIEC reporting rules. Cross-border resale agreements where the underlying securities are U.S. Treasury securities, in which case the domicile is the U.S., are excluded from this presentation.

⁽⁵⁾

Cross-border exposure includes amounts payable to the Corporation by borrowers or counterparties with a country of residence other than the one in which the credit is booked, regardless of the currency in which the claim is denominated, consistent with FFIEC reporting rules.

⁽⁶⁾

Local country exposure includes amounts payable to the Corporation by borrowers with a country of residence in which the credit is booked, regardless of the currency in which the claim is denominated. Local funding or liabilities are subtracted from local exposures as allowed by the FFIEC. Total amount of available local liabilities funding local country exposure at September 30, 2007 was $18.6 billion compared to $20.7 billion at December 31, 2006. Local liabilities at September 30, 2007 in Asia Pacific and Latin America were $16.7 billion and $1.9 billion, of which $5.9 billion were in Hong Kong, $4.6 billion in Singapore, $2.7 billion in South Korea, $1.8 billion in Mexico, $1.1 billion in India, $899 million in China, $581 million in Taiwan and $542 million in Thailand. There were no other countries with available local liabilities funding local country exposure greater than $500 million.

⁽⁷⁾

No country included in Other Asia Pacific, Other Latin America, Other Middle East and Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe had total foreign exposure of more than $500 million.

As presented in Table 27, foreign exposure to borrowers or counterparties in emerging markets increased $6.2 billion to $27.0 billion at September 30, 2007, compared to $20.9 billion at December 31, 2006. The increase was due to higher exposure in Asia Pacific and Latin America. Foreign exposure to borrowers or counterparties in emerging markets represented 20 percent and 16 percent of total foreign exposure at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, 60 percent and 58 percent of the emerging markets exposure was in Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific emerging markets exposure increased by $4.1 billion. Growth was driven by higher exposure mainly in India, Singapore, South Korea, and China. Our exposure in China was primarily related to the carrying value of our equity investment in CCB which accounted for $3.0 billion at both September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

At September 30, 2007, 33 percent of the emerging markets exposure was in Latin America compared to 36 percent at December 31, 2006. Latin America emerging markets exposure increased by $1.4 billion driven by an increase in an equity investment in Banco Itaú Holding Financeira S.A. (Banco Itaú) in Brazil. The carrying value of our investment in Banco Itaú

116

accounted for $2.6 billion and $1.9 billion of exposure in Brazil at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The September 30, 2007 equity investment in Banco Itaú represents seven percent of its outstanding voting and non-voting shares. During the first quarter of 2007, the Corporation completed the sale of its operations in Chile and Uruguay for approximately $750 million in equity of Banco Itaú.

Our 24.9 percent investment in Santander accounted for $2.7 billion and $2.3 billion of exposure in Mexico at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

At September 30, 2007, six percent of the emerging markets exposure was in Middle East and Africa compared to five percent at December 31, 2006. Middle East and Africa emerging markets exposure increased by $468 million driven by an increase in cross-border loans and loan commitments in South Africa to support the Corporation’s sale of its BankBoston Argentina assets to a consortium led by Johannesburg-based Standard Bank Group Ltd. The facility represents a loan commitment made to Standard Bank of South Africa to fulfill Argentine regulatory requirements. The Corporation completed the sale of its BankBoston Argentina assets in March 2007 in exchange for the assumption of BankBoston Argentina liabilities of approximately $2.0 billion.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses was $2.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a 74 percent increase compared to the same period in 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the provision for credit losses was $5.1 billion, a 48 percent increase compared to the same period in 2006.

The consumer portion of the provision for credit losses increased $350 million to $1.4 billion, and $607 million to $3.8 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods a year ago. Higher net charge-offs from portfolio seasoning, reflective of growth in the businesses and increases from the unusually low charge-off levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform drove a portion of the increase. Additionally, reserve increases related to higher losses inherent in our home equity portfolio reflecting growth in the business and the impact of the weak housing market in certain geographic areas as well as seasoning of the Card Services consumer portfolios contributed to the increased provision expense. The nine-month increase was partially offset by reserve reductions from the addition of legacy Bank of America accounts which have a higher loss profile to the domestic consumer credit card securitization master trust and from improved performance of the remaining portfolios from consumer finance businesses that we have exited.

The commercial portion of the provision for credit losses increased $499 million to $615 million, and $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods a year ago. Higher net charge-offs from seasoning and increases from the unusually low charge-off levels experienced in 2006 post bankruptcy reform in our small business portfolios within GCSBB drove a portion of the increase. Reserve increases for higher losses inherent in the small business portfolios within GCSBB as well as the impacts of the weak housing market, particularly on our homebuilder sector within GCIB also contributed to the increases in provision expense. The nine-month increase was also attributable to the absence of 2006 releases of reserves primarily in GCIB related to favorable commercial credit market conditions and a lower level of commercial recoveries in GCIB and GWIM partially offset by a reduction of reserves in All Other reflecting the sale of our Argentina portfolio during the first quarter of 2007.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses is allocated based on two components. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses based on the combined total of these two components. The allowance for loan and lease losses excludes loans measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159 as mark-to-market adjustments related to loans measured at fair value include a credit risk component.

The first component of the allowance for loan and lease losses covers those commercial loans measured at historical cost that are either nonperforming or impaired. An allowance is allocated when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) are lower than the carrying value of that loan. For purposes of computing the specific loss

117

component of the allowance, larger impaired loans are evaluated individually and smaller impaired loans are evaluated as a pool using historical loss experience for the respective product type and risk rating of the loans.

The second component of the allowance for loan and lease losses covers performing commercial loans and leases measured at historical cost and consumer loans. The allowance for commercial loan and lease losses is established by product type after analyzing historical loss experience by internal risk rating, current economic conditions, industry performance trends, geographic or obligor concentrations within each portfolio segment, and any other pertinent information. The commercial historical loss experience is updated quarterly to incorporate the most recent data reflective of the current economic environment. As of September 30, 2007, quarterly updating of historical loss experience did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance for consumer and certain homogeneous commercial loan and lease products is based on aggregated portfolio segment evaluations, generally by product type. Loss forecast models are utilized that consider a variety of factors including, but not limited to, historical loss experience, estimated defaults or foreclosures based on portfolio trends, delinquencies, economic trends and credit scores. These loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis in order to incorporate information reflective of the current economic environment. As of September 30, 2007, quarterly updating of the loss forecast models resulted in increases in the allowance for loan and lease losses primarily due to higher losses inherent in the small business card and home equity portfolios and seasoning of the Card Services unsecured lending portfolio. Included within this second component of the allowance for loan and lease losses and determined separately from the procedures outlined above are reserves which are maintained to cover uncertainties that affect our estimate of probable losses including the imprecision inherent in the forecasting methodologies, as well as domestic and global economic uncertainty, large single name defaults and event risk.

We monitor differences between estimated and actual incurred loan and lease losses. This monitoring process includes periodic assessments by senior management of loan and lease portfolios and the models used to estimate incurred losses in those portfolios.

Additions to the allowance for loan and lease losses are made by charges to the provision for credit losses. Credit exposures deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan and lease losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan and lease losses.

The allowance for loan and lease losses for the consumer portfolio as presented in Table 29 was $5.6 billion at September 30, 2007, an increase of $39 million from December 31, 2006. This increase was attributable to increases in reserves in the Card Services unsecured lending and home equity portfolios reflective of growth and seasoning. The increase in the home equity reserves is also due to higher losses inherent in the portfolio reflecting the impact of the weak housing market in certain geographic areas. These increases were mostly offset by reserve reductions from the addition of legacy Bank of America accounts which have a higher loss profile to the domestic consumer credit card master trust, net new issuances of securitizations from the trust, and improved performance of the remaining portfolios from consumer finance businesses that we have exited.

The allowance for commercial loan and lease losses was $3.9 billion at September 30, 2007, a $480 million increase from December 31, 2006. The increase in commercial – domestic allowance levels was primarily attributable to an increase in reserves due to higher losses inherent in the small business portfolios within GCSBB, partially offset by reductions in GCIB commercial reserves due to the adoption of SFAS 159 for certain large corporate loans. Commercial real estate allowance levels increased primarily to reflect the impact of the weak housing market, mainly on the homebuilder sector within GCIB. Commercial – foreign allowance levels decreased due to the sales of our Latin American portfolios and operations.

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases outstanding was 1.21 percent at September 30, 2007, compared to 1.28 percent at December 31, 2006. The decline in the ratio was driven primarily by growth of $30.6 billion in the residential mortgage portfolio, which has a lower loss profile, as the Corporation increased retention of residential mortgage loans for ALM purposes. Also contributing to the decline were reserve reductions related to the addition of legacy Bank of America accounts, which have a higher loss profile, to the domestic consumer credit card securitization master trust and the sales of our Latin American portfolios and operations. Partially offsetting these declines were increases in reserves due to higher losses inherent in the small business portfolios within GCSBB and for growth and seasoning of the Card Services unsecured lending portfolio.

118

Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments

In addition to the allowance for loan and lease losses, we also estimate probable losses related to unfunded lending commitments measured at historical cost, such as letters of credit and financial guarantees, and binding unfunded loan commitments. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments excludes commitments measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 159. Unfunded lending commitments are subject to individual reviews and are analyzed and segregated by risk according to our internal risk rating scale. These risk classifications, in conjunction with an analysis of historical loss experience, utilization assumptions, current economic conditions and performance trends within specific portfolio segments, and any other pertinent information result in the estimation of the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We monitor differences between estimated and actual incurred credit losses upon draws of the commitments. This monitoring process includes periodic assessments by senior management of credit portfolios and the models used to estimate incurred losses in those portfolios.

Changes to the reserve for unfunded lending commitments are generally made through the provision for credit losses. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments at September 30, 2007 was $392 million, a $5 million decrease from December 31, 2006 primarily driven by the adoption of SFAS 159 for certain large corporate commitments, partially offset by increases from activities in the unfunded lending commitment portfolio.

Market Risk Management

Market risk is the risk that values of assets and liabilities or revenues will be adversely affected by changes in market conditions such as market movements. This risk is inherent in the financial instruments associated with our operations and/or activities including loans, deposits, securities, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, trading account assets and liabilities, and derivatives. Market-sensitive assets and liabilities are generated through loans and deposits associated with our traditional banking business, customer and proprietary trading operations, ALM processes, credit risk mitigation activities, and mortgage banking activities. In the event of market volatility, factors such as underlying market movements and liquidity have an impact on the results of the Corporation. More detailed information on our market risk management process is included on pages 60 through 68 of the MD&A filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

121

Trading Risk Management

The histogram of daily revenue or loss below is a graphic depiction of trading volatility and illustrates the daily level of trading-related revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007. Trading-related revenue encompasses proprietary trading and customer-related activities. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, positive trading-related revenue was recorded for 84 percent of the trading days. However, 10 percent of the total trading days had losses greater than $10 million, and the largest loss was $159 million. This can be compared to the twelve months ended September 30, 2006, where positive trading-related revenue was recorded for 94 percent of the trading days and only one percent of the total trading days had losses greater than $10 million, and the largest loss was $24 million. The increase in the total trading days with losses was due to the period of market disruption in late July and August 2007 as further discussed below.

LOGO

To evaluate risk in our trading activities, we focus on the actual and potential volatility of individual positions as well as portfolios. At a portfolio and corporate level, we use VAR modeling and stress testing. VAR is a key statistic used to measure market risk. In order to manage day-to-day risks, VAR is subject to trading limits both for our overall trading portfolio and within individual businesses. All limit excesses are communicated to management for review.

A VAR model simulates the value of a portfolio under a range of hypothetical scenarios in order to generate a distribution of potential gains and losses. The VAR represents the worst loss the portfolio is expected to experience with a given level of confidence. VAR depends on the volatility of the positions in the portfolio and on how strongly their risks are correlated. Within any VAR model, there are significant and numerous assumptions that will differ from company to company. In addition, the accuracy of a VAR model depends on the availability and quality of historical data for each of the positions in the portfolio. A VAR model may require additional modeling assumptions for new products which do not have extensive historical price data, or for illiquid positions for which accurate daily prices are not consistently available. Our VAR model uses a historical simulation approach based on three years of historical data and assumes a 99 percent confidence level. Statistically, this means that losses will exceed VAR, on average, one out of 100 trading days, or two to three times each year.

The assumptions and data underlying our VAR model are regularly reviewed and updated. As part of the review process, the predictive accuracy of the model is tested at the individual business level by comparing actual losses with the losses predicted by the VAR model. Management reviews and evaluates the results of these tests.

122

In the future, the historical data underlying our VAR model will be updated to include the recent market volatility. In particular, with the dislocation in structured and credit products, including CDOs, many credit spreads used in the calculation of VAR increased by unprecedented amounts. In addition, many trading assets became extremely illiquid which require changes in assumptions to properly incorporate them in the VAR model. When these changes are reflected, we expect the average VAR for our total market-based trading portfolio to increase materially in the fourth quarter.

The following graph shows daily trading revenue and VAR for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007. Actual losses exceeded VAR ten times in the twelve months ended September 30, 2007 and losses did not exceed VAR in the twelve months ended September 30, 2006. The losses that exceeded VAR occurred during the period of market disruption in late July and August 2007. The sudden increase in market volatility during this period produced a large number of price changes that exceeded the 99^th percentile of the three year history used for our VAR calculations. Our credit businesses within Capital Markets and Advisory Services, contributed materially to most of these losses, as credit spreads widened by historically large amounts, and markdowns were taken in our credit and structured product portfolios. There were no losses exceeding the VAR during the month of September 2007. For more information on the impact of the market disruption on the Corporation’s results, see the GCIB discussion beginning on page 73.

For a discussion of the VAR related to the credit derivatives that economically hedge the loan portfolio, see page 114. The table above does not include credit protection purchased to manage our counterparty credit risk. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the average VAR of this protection was $14 million.

Stress Testing

Because the very nature of a VAR model suggests results can exceed our estimates, we also “stress test” our portfolio. Stress testing estimates the value change in our trading portfolio that may result from abnormal market movements. Various types of stress tests are run regularly against the overall trading portfolio and individual businesses. Historical scenarios simulate the impact of price changes which occurred during a set of extended historical market events. The results of these scenarios are reported daily to management. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, the largest losses among these scenarios ranged from $9 million to $554 million. Hypothetical scenarios evaluate the potential impact of extreme but plausible events. These scenarios are developed to address perceived vulnerabilities in the market and in our portfolios, and are periodically updated. They are also reviewed and updated to reflect changing market conditions, such as were experienced during the third quarter of 2007. Management reviews and evaluates results of these scenarios monthly. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, the largest losses among these scenarios ranged from $436 million to $1.3 billion. Worst-case losses, which represent the most extreme losses, are reported daily. Finally, desk-level stress tests are performed daily for individual businesses. These stress tests evaluate the potential adverse impact of large moves in the market risk factors to which those businesses are most sensitive.

Interest Rate Risk Management for Nontrading Activities

Interest rate risk represents the most significant market risk exposure to our nontrading exposures. Our overall goal is to manage interest rate risk so that movements in interest rates do not adversely affect core net interest income – managed basis. Interest rate risk is measured as the potential volatility in our core net interest income – managed basis caused by changes in market interest rates. Client facing activities, primarily lending and deposit-taking, create interest rate sensitive positions on our balance sheet. Interest rate risk from these activities, as well as the impact of changing market conditions, is managed through our ALM activities.

Simulations are used to estimate the impact on core net interest income – managed basis using numerous interest rate scenarios, balance sheet trends and strategies. These simulations evaluate how the above mentioned scenarios impact core net interest income – managed basis on short-term financial instruments, debt securities, loans, deposits, borrowings, and derivative instruments. In addition, these simulations incorporate assumptions about balance sheet dynamics such as loan and deposit growth and pricing, changes in funding mix, and asset and liability repricing and maturity characteristics.

Management analyzes core net interest income – managed basis forecasts utilizing different rate scenarios, with the base case utilizing the forward interest rates. Management frequently updates the core net interest income – managed basis forecast for changing assumptions and differing outlooks based on economic trends and market conditions. Thus, we continually monitor our balance sheet position in an effort to maintain an acceptable level of exposure to interest rate changes.

We prepare forward-looking forecasts of core net interest income – managed basis. These baseline forecasts take into consideration expected future business growth, ALM positioning, and the direction of interest rate movements as implied by forward interest rates. We then measure and evaluate the impact that alternative interest rate scenarios have to these static baseline forecasts in order to assess interest rate sensitivity under varied conditions. The spot and 12-month forward rates used in our respective baseline forecasts at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows:

Table 31

Forward Rates


	September 30, 2007				December 31, 2006
	Federal Funds		Ten-Year Swap		Federal Funds		Ten-Year Swap
Spot Rates	4.75	%	5.21	%	5.25	%	5.18	%
12-month forward rates	4.25		5.30		4.85		5.19

The following table reflects the pre-tax dollar impact to forecasted core net interest income – managed basis over the next twelve months from September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, resulting from a 100 bp gradual parallel increase, a 100 bp gradual parallel decrease, a 100 bp gradual curve flattening (increase in short-term rates or decrease in long-term rates) and a 100 bp gradual curve steepening (decrease in short-term rates or increase in long-term rates) from the forward market curve. For further discussion of core net interest income – managed basis see page 59.

The sensitivity analysis above assumes that we take no action in response to these rate shifts over the indicated years. The estimated exposure is reported on a managed basis and reflects impacts that may be realized primarily in net interest income and card income. This sensitivity analysis excludes any impact that could occur in the valuation of retained interests in the Corporation’s securitizations due to changes in interest rate levels. For additional information on securitizations, see Note 8 – Securitizations to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our core net interest income – managed basis, was slightly liability sensitive at both September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Beyond what is already implied in the forward market curve, the interest rate risk position has become modestly less exposed to rising rates since December 31, 2006. Over a 12-month horizon, we would benefit from falling rates or a steepening of the yield curve beyond what is already implied in the forward market curve.

As part of our ALM activities, we use securities, residential mortgages, and interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives in managing interest rate sensitivity.

Securities

The securities portfolio is an integral part of our ALM position. The securities portfolio is primarily comprised of debt securities and includes mortgage-backed securities and to a lesser extent corporate, municipal and other investment grade debt securities. During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we purchased AFS debt securities of $1.3 billion and $3.5 billion, sold $4.9 billion and $45.8 billion, and had maturities and received paydowns of $4.5 billion and $6.1 billion. We realized $7 million in gains and $469 million in losses on sales of debt securities during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we purchased AFS debt securities of $7.2 billion and $38.3 billion, sold $10.9 billion and $53.1 billion, and had maturities and received paydowns of $15.2 billion and $17.7 billion. We realized $71 million in gains and $464 million in losses on sales of debt securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

The value of our accumulated OCI loss related to AFS debt securities improved by $2.9 billion (pre-tax) during the three months ended September 30, 2007, driven by a decrease in interest rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 there was a $1.1 billion (pre-tax) increase in the unrealized loss, driven by an increase in interest rates. For those securities that are in an unrealized loss position we have the intent and ability to hold these securities to recovery.

Accumulated OCI includes $3.9 billion in after-tax losses at September 30, 2007, related to unrealized losses associated with our AFS securities portfolio, including $3.8 billion of unrealized losses related to AFS debt securities and $11 million of unrealized losses related to AFS marketable equity securities. Total market value of the AFS debt securities was $176.8 billion at September 30, 2007 with a weighted average duration of 4.5 years and primarily relates to our mortgage-backed securities portfolio.

Prospective changes to the accumulated OCI amounts for the AFS securities portfolio will be driven by further interest rate, credit or price fluctuations, the collection of cash flows including prepayment and maturity activity, and the passage of time.

In connection with adopting SFAS 159, the Corporation reclassified approximately $3.7 billion from AFS debt securities to trading account assets during the first quarter. There were no net unrealized gains or losses associated with these securities recorded in accumulated OCI as these securities were hedged using SFAS 133 hedge accounting. Accordingly, there was no impact on the Corporation’s transition adjustment to beginning retained earnings upon adoption of SFAS 159 on January 1, 2007.

Residential Mortgage Portfolio

During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we purchased $531 million and $1.1 billion of residential mortgages related to ALM activities, and added $15.1 billion and $12.0 billion of originated residential mortgages. We sold $10.1 billion and $9.7 billion of residential mortgages during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 resulting

126

in a gain of $41 million and $95 million. Additionally, we received paydowns of $6.5 billion and $6.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we purchased $22.5 billion and $30.8 billion of residential mortgages related to ALM activities, and added $55.5 billion and $34.4 billion of originated residential mortgages. We sold $28.4 billion and $9.8 billion of residential mortgages during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, which included $18.1 billion and $8.6 billion of originated residential mortgages, resulting in a gain of $217 million and $93 million. Additionally, we received paydowns of $21.9 billion and $18.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The ending balance at September 30, 2007 was $271.8 billion, compared to $218.9 billion at September 30, 2006.

Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts

Interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts are utilized in our ALM activities and serve as an efficient tool to mitigate our interest rate and foreign exchange risk. We use derivatives to hedge the variability in cash flows or changes in fair value on our balance sheet due to interest rate and foreign exchange components. For additional information on our hedging activities, see Note 4 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our interest rate contracts are generally non-leveraged generic interest rate and foreign exchange basis swaps, options, futures, and forwards. In addition, we use foreign exchange contracts, including cross-currency interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts, to mitigate the foreign exchange risk associated with foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, as well as certain equity investments in foreign subsidiaries. Table 33 reflects the notional amounts, fair value, weighted average receive fixed and pay fixed rates, expected maturity, and estimated duration of our open ALM derivatives at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Changes to the composition of our derivatives portfolio over the course of 2007 reflect actions taken for interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk management. Decisions to reposition our derivative portfolio are based upon the current assessment of economic and financial conditions including the interest rate environment, balance sheet composition and trends, and the relative mix of our cash and derivative positions. Our interest rate swap positions (including foreign exchange contracts) changed to a net pay fixed position of $44.8 billion on September 30, 2007 compared to a net receive fixed position of $12.3 billion on December 31, 2006. Changes in the notional levels of our net pay fixed swap position were driven by the net termination of $53.6 billion in U.S. dollar denominated receive fixed swaps, the net addition of $13.0 billion in pay fixed swaps, and the net addition of $9.5 billion in foreign denominated receive fixed swaps. At September 30, 2007, all receive fixed swaps are hedging fixed rate debt issuances. The notional amount of our foreign exchange basis swaps increased $19.0 billion to $50.9 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to $31.9 billion at December 31, 2006. The notional amount of our option position decreased $78.2 billion to $165.1 billion at September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006. The decrease in the notional amount of options was due to the net terminations and expirations of $60.0 billion in caps and floors and terminations of $18.2 billion of swaptions.

The following table includes derivatives utilized in our ALM activities, including those designated as SFAS 133 accounting hedges and economic hedges. The fair value of net ALM contracts increased $2.3 billion from a gain of $1.5 billion at December 31, 2006 to a gain of $3.7 billion at September 30, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to gains from changes in the value of foreign exchange basis swaps of $3.4 billion and receive fixed interest rate swaps of $483 million. These gains were partially offset by losses from changes in the value of pay fixed interest rate swaps of $880 million, foreign exchange contracts of $422 million, and option products of $355 million. The increase in the value of foreign exchange basis swaps was due to the strengthening of most foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in the value of U.S. dollar denominated receive fixed interest rate swaps was due to decreases in interest rates during the nine month period. The decrease in the value of pay fixed interest rate swaps was mainly due to the decrease in interest rates over the nine month period. The decrease in the value of foreign exchange contracts was largely due to the increase in foreign interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in the value of the option portfolio was primarily attributable to decreases in interest rates during the nine month period, net terminations and expirations of caps and floors and terminations of swaptions.

Foreign exchange contracts include foreign-denominated and cross-currency receive fixed interest rate swaps as well as foreign currency forward rate contracts. Total notional was comprised of $30.5 billion in foreign-denominated and cross-currency receive fixed swaps and $395 million in foreign currency forward rate contracts at September 30, 2007 and $21.0 billion in foreign-denominated and cross-currency receive fixed swaps and $697 million in foreign currency forward rate contracts at December 31, 2006.

⁽⁷⁾

Reflects the net of long and short positions.

The Corporation uses interest rate derivative instruments to hedge the variability in the cash flows of its assets and liabilities, and other forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges). The net losses on both open and terminated derivative instruments recorded in accumulated OCI net-of-tax was $3.7 billion at September 30, 2007. These net losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the same period when the hedged cash flows affect earnings and will decrease income or increase expense on the respective hedged cash flows. Assuming no change in open cash flow derivative hedge positions and no changes to interest rates beyond what is implied in forward yield curves at September 30, 2007, the net losses are expected to be reclassified into earnings as follows: $1.3 billion (pre-tax), or 22 percent within the next year, 64 percent within five years, and 86 percent within 10 years, with the remaining 14 percent thereafter. For more information on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, see Note 4 – Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The amounts included in accumulated OCI for terminated derivative contracts were losses of $3.2 billion, net-of-tax, at both September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Losses on these terminated derivative contracts are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

128

Mortgage Banking Risk Management

IRLCs and the related residential first mortgage loans held-for-sale are subject to interest rate risk between the date of the IRLC and the date the loans are sold to the secondary market. To hedge interest rate risk, we utilize forward loan sale commitments and other derivative instruments including purchased options. These instruments are used as economic hedges of IRLCs and residential first mortgage loans held-for-sale. At September 30, 2007, the notional amount of derivatives economically hedging the IRLCs and residential first mortgage loans held-for-sale was $24.2 billion.

The Corporation adopted SFAS 159 as of January 1, 2007 and elected to account for certain mortgage loans held-for-sale at fair value. At September 30, 2007, residential mortgage loans held-for-sale in connection with mortgage banking activities for which the fair value option was elected had an aggregate fair value of $10.29 billion and an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $10.13 billion. Net gains resulting from changes in fair value of these loans, including realized gains and losses on sale, of $81 million and $120 million were recorded in mortgage banking income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, while net losses of $43 million were recorded for both time periods in trading account profits (losses). The adoption of SFAS 159 resulted in an increase of $119 million and $180 million in mortgage banking income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, and in an increase of $66 million and $131 million in noninterest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159, mortgage loan origination costs are recognized in noninterest expense when incurred. Previously, mortgage loan origination costs would have been capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the loans and recognized as a reduction of mortgage banking income upon the sale of such loans.

We manage changes in the value of MSRs by entering into derivative financial instruments. MSRs are a nonfinancial asset created when the underlying mortgage loan is sold to investors and we retain the right to service the loan. We use certain derivatives such as options and interest rate swaps as economic hedges of MSRs. At September 30, 2007, the amount of MSRs identified as being hedged by derivatives was approximately $3.2 billion. The notional amount of the derivative contracts designated as economic hedges of MSRs at September 30, 2007 was $48.9 billion. For additional information on MSRs see Note 16 – Mortgage Servicing Rights to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operational Risk Management

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, including system conversions and integration, and external events. Successful operational risk management is particularly important to diversified financial services companies because of the nature, volume and complexity of the financial services business.

We approach operational risk from two perspectives: enterprise-wide and line of business-specific. The Compliance and Operational Risk Committee provides oversight of significant company-wide operational and compliance issues. Within Global Risk Management, Enterprise Compliance and Operational Risk Management develops policies, practices, controls and monitoring tools for assessing and managing operational risks across the Corporation. We also mitigate operational risk through a broad-based approach to process management and process improvement. Improvement efforts are focused on reduction of variation in outputs. We have a dedicated Quality and Productivity team to manage and certify the process management and improvement efforts. For selected risks, we use specialized support groups, such as Information Security and Supply Chain Management, to develop corporate-wide risk management practices, such as an information security program and a supplier program to ensure that suppliers adopt appropriate policies and procedures when performing work on behalf of the Corporation. These specialized groups also assist the lines of business in the development and implementation of risk management practices specific to the needs of the individual businesses. These groups also work with line of business executives and risk executives to develop appropriate policies, practices, controls and monitoring tools for each line of business. Through training and communication efforts, compliance and operational risk awareness is driven across the Corporation.

The lines of business are responsible for all the risks within the business line, including operational risks. Operational and Compliance Risk executives, working in conjunction with senior line of business executives, have developed key tools to help identify, measure, mitigate and monitor operational risk in each business line. Examples of these include personnel management practices, data reconciliation processes, fraud management units, transaction processing monitoring and analysis, business recovery planning and new product introduction processes. In addition, the lines of business are responsible for monitoring adherence to corporate practices. Management uses a self-assessment process, which helps to identify and evaluate the status of risk issues, including mitigation plans, as appropriate. The goal of the self-assessment

129

process is to periodically assess changing market and business conditions and to evaluate key operational risks impacting each line of business. In addition to information gathered from the self-assessment process, key operational risk indicators have been developed and are used to help identify trends and issues on both a corporate and a business line level.

Recent Accounting and Reporting Developments

See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Complex Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting principles, as described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles to the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007, are essential in understanding the MD&A. Many of our significant accounting principles require complex judgments to estimate values of assets and liabilities. We have procedures and processes to facilitate making these judgments. Effective January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted SFAS 157 and SFAS 159. For further information on fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities, see Note 15 – Fair Value Disclosures to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For a complete discussion of our more judgmental and complex accounting estimates, see Complex Accounting Estimates on pages 69 through 72 of the MD&A filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2007.

Core Net Interest Income – Managed Basis – Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis excluding the impact of market-based activities and certain securitizations.

Credit Derivatives / Credit Default Swaps (CDS) – A derivative contract that provides protection against the deterioration of credit quality and would allow one party to receive payment in the event of default by a third party under a borrowing arrangement.

Derivative – A contract or agreement whose value is derived from changes in an underlying index such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates or prices of securities. Derivatives utilized by the Corporation include swaps, financial futures and forward settlement contracts, and option contracts.

Excess Servicing Income – For certain assets that have been securitized, interest income, fee revenue and recoveries in excess of interest paid to the investors, gross credit losses and other trust expenses related to the securitized receivables are all reclassified into excess servicing income, which is a component of card income. Excess servicing income also includes the changes in fair value of the Corporation’s card related retained interests.

Interest-only (IO) Strip – A residual interest in a securitization trust representing the right to receive future net cash flows from securitized assets after payments to third party investors and net credit losses. These arise when assets are transferred to a special purpose entity as part of an asset securitization transaction qualifying for sale treatment under GAAP.

Letter of Credit – A document issued by the Corporation on behalf of a customer to a third party promising to pay that third party upon presentation of specified documents. A letter of credit effectively substitutes the Corporation’s credit for that of the Corporation’s customer.

Managed Basis – Managed basis assumes that securitized loans were not sold and presents earnings on these loans in a manner similar to the way loans that have not been sold (i.e., held loans) are presented. Noninterest income, both on a held and managed basis, also includes the impact of adjustments to the interest-only strip that are recorded in card income.

Managed Net Losses – Represents net charge-offs on held loans combined with realized credit losses associated with the securitized loan portfolio.

131

Mortgage Servicing Right (MSR) – The right to service a mortgage loan when the underlying loan is sold or securitized. Servicing includes collections for principal, interest and escrow payments from borrowers and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to investors.

Net Interest Yield – Net interest income divided by average total interest-earning assets.

Operating Basis – A basis of presentation not defined by GAAP that excludes merger and restructuring charges.

Qualified Special Purpose Entity (QSPE) – A special purpose entity whose activities are strictly limited to holding and servicing financial assets and meet the requirements set forth in SFAS 140. A qualified special purpose entity is generally not required to be consolidated by any party.

Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity (ROE) – Measures the earnings contribution of a unit as a percentage of the shareholders’ equity allocated to that unit.

Return on Average Tangible Shareholders’ Equity (ROTE) – Measures the earnings contribution of a unit as a percentage of the shareholders’ equity allocated to that unit reduced by allocated goodwill.

Securitize / Securitization – A process by which financial assets are sold to a special purpose entity, which then issues securities collateralized by those underlying assets, and the return on the securities issued is based on the principal and interest cash flow of the underlying assets.

Unrecognized Tax Benefit (UTB) – The difference between the benefit recognized for a tax position in accordance with FIN 48, which is measured as the largest dollar amount of that position that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon settlement, and the tax benefit claimed on a tax return.

Value-at-Risk (VAR) – A VAR model estimates a range of hypothetical scenarios to calculate a potential loss which is not expected to be exceeded with a specified confidence level. VAR is a key statistic used to measure and manage market risk.

Variable Interest Entities (VIE) – A term defined by FIN 46(R) for an entity whose equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest. The entity may not have sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from third parties. The equity investors may lack the ability to make significant decisions about the entity’s activities, or they may not absorb the losses or receive the residual returns generated by the assets and other contractual arrangements of the VIE. A VIE must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, if any, which is the party that will absorb the majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns of the VIE or both.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act securities laws is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

As of the end of the period covered by this report and pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness and design of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed by the Corporation, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in internal controls

In addition and as of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements for litigation and regulatory disclosure that supplements the disclosure in the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed since December 31, 2006.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following is added to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K:

Certain credit markets experienced difficult conditions and volatility during 2007. These conditions resulted in less liquidity, greater volatility, widening of credit spreads and a lack of price transparency. The Corporation’s GCIB segment operates in these markets, either directly or indirectly, through exposures in securities, loans, derivatives and other commitments. While it is difficult to predict how long these conditions will exist and which markets, products or other businesses of the Corporation will ultimately be affected, these factors could continue to adversely impact the Corporation’s results of operations.
