Management’s Discussion and Analysis
OVERVIEW
Earnings Summary U.S. Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) reported net income of $1,156 million for the second quarter of 2007 or $.65 per diluted share, compared with $1,201 million, or $.66 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2006. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 2.09 percent and 23.0 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2007, compared with returns of 2.27 percent and 24.3 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2006. The Company’s results for the second quarter of 2007 declined from the same period of 2006, as strong fee-based revenue growth was more than offset by a $35 million gain in the second quarter of 2006 from the initial public offering of a cardholder association, as well as an expected increase in credit costs due to the prior year favorable impact on charge-offs as a result of changes in bankruptcy laws, and lower net interest income.
     Total net revenue, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the second quarter of 2007, was $53 million (1.5 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2006, primarily reflecting a 5.7 percent increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a 2.8 percent decline in net interest income from a year ago. Noninterest income growth was driven primarily by organic business growth, offset somewhat by the impact in the second quarter of 2006 of a $35 million gain from the initial public offering of a cardholder association.
     Total noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2007 was $110 million (7.2 percent) higher than in the second quarter of 2006, principally due to investments in business initiatives, higher operating and business integration costs associated with recent acquisitions, costs related to tax-advantaged investments and an increase in merchant airline processing primarily due to sales volumes and recent business expansion with a major airline. Growth in expenses from a year ago was partially offset by a debt prepayment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2006.
     The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2007 increased $66 million (52.8 percent), compared with the second quarter of 2006. The increase in the provision for credit losses from a year ago reflected expected losses from strong growth in credit card accounts. Also, the provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2006 partially reflected the favorable residual impact on net charge-offs, principally for credit cards and other retail charge-offs, due to changes in bankruptcy laws in late 2005. Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2007 were $191 million, compared with $125 million in the second quarter of 2006. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
     The Company reported net income of $2,286 million for the first six months of 2007 or $1.27 per diluted share, compared with $2,354 million, or $1.29 per diluted share for the first six months of 2006. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 2.09 percent and 22.7 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2007, compared with returns of 2.25 percent and 23.8 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2006. The Company’s results for the first six months of 2007 declined from the same period of 2006, as growth in fee-based revenue was more than offset by lower net interest income, increased credit costs reflecting the prior year favorable impact on charge-offs as a result of changes in bankruptcy laws, and operating costs of acquired businesses and other business initiatives.
     Total net revenue, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the first six months of 2007, was $76 million (1.1 percent) higher than the first six months of 2006, primarily reflecting a 5.4 percent increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a 3.1 percent decline in net interest income from a year ago. Noninterest income growth was driven by organic business growth and expansion in payment processing and trust businesses. Fee-based revenue growth was partially offset by the net favorable impact in the first six months of 2006 of $52 million from several previously reported items, including a $44 million trading gain related to certain derivatives, a $35 million gain from the initial public offering of a cardholder association and a $10 million gain related to a favorable settlement in the merchant processing business, offset by a $37 million reduction in mortgage banking revenue due principally to the adoption of fair value accounting standards for mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”).
     Total noninterest expense in the first six months of 2007 was $155 million (5.1 percent) higher than in the first six months of 2006, principally due to investments in business initiatives, higher operating and business integration costs associated with recent acquisitions,

costs related to tax-advantaged investments and an increase in merchant airline processing primarily due to sales volumes and recent business expansion with a major airline. Growth in expenses from a year ago was partially offset by an $11 million debt prepayment charge recorded in the first six months of 2006.
     The provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2007 increased $128 million (53.3 percent), compared with the same period of 2006. The increase in the provision for credit losses from a year ago reflected expected losses from strong growth in credit card accounts. Also, the provision for credit losses in the first six months of 2006 partially reflected the favorable residual impact on net charge-offs of changes in bankruptcy laws in late 2005. Net charge-offs in the first six months of 2007 were $368 million, compared with $240 million in the first six months of 2006. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS
Net Interest Income Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $1,650 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared with $1,697 million in the second quarter of 2006. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $3,316 million in the first six months of 2007, compared with $3,422 million in the first six months of 2006. Average earning assets increased $7.4 billion (4.0 percent) and $7.7 billion (4.2 percent) in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increases were primarily driven by growth in total average loans of $6.3 billion (4.5 percent) and $6.6 billion (4.8 percent) in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. The positive impact on net interest income from the growth in earning assets was more than offset by a lower net interest margin. The net interest margin in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 was 3.44 percent and 3.47 percent, respectively, compared with 3.68 percent and 3.74 percent, respectively, for the same periods of 2006, reflecting the competitive environment and the impact of the flat yield curve during the past several quarters. Compared with the same periods of 2006, credit spreads tightened by approximately 9 basis points in the second quarter and 10 basis points in the first six months of 2007 across most lending products due to competitive loan pricing. In addition, funding costs were higher as rates on interest-bearing deposits increased and the funding mix continued to shift toward higher cost deposits and other sources. An increase in loan fees partially offset these factors.
            The Company anticipates the net interest margin to remain relatively stable throughout the remainder of the year. Refer to the “Consolidated Daily Average Balance Sheet and Related Yields and Rates” table for further information on net interest income.
     Average loans for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 were $6.3 billion (4.5 percent) and $6.6 billion (4.8 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2006, reflecting growth in retail loans, commercial loans and residential mortgages, partially offset by a decline in total commercial real estate loans. Average credit card balances for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 increased $1.8 billion (23.9 percent) and $1.6 billion (22.6 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006, as a result of growth in branch originated, co-branded and financial institution partner portfolios.
     Average investment securities in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 were $.6 billion (1.5 percent) and $.9 billion (2.3 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2006, driven primarily by an increase in the municipal securities portfolio, partially offset by a reduction in mortgage-backed assets.
     Average noninterest-bearing deposits for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 decreased $1.0 billion (3.4 percent) and $1.1 billion (3.7 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006, reflecting a decline in business demand deposits within most lines of business as customers reduced excess liquidity to fund business growth and reinvested excess funds in interest-bearing deposit and sweep products. The decline in business demand account balances was partially offset by higher corporate trust deposits, driven by acquisitions and business growth.
     Average total savings deposits remained relatively flat in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006, as increases in interest checking balances were offset by declines in money market and savings balances, primarily within Consumer Banking. Interest checking balances for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 increased $2.5 billion (10.8 percent) and $2.2 billion (9.6 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006, due to higher broker-dealer, government and institutional trust balances. Average money market and savings balances for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 decreased $2.7 billion (8.1 percent) and $2.3 billion (7.0 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006, as a result of the Company’s deposit pricing decisions

for money market products in relation to other fixed-rate deposit products. A portion of branch-based money market savings accounts migrated to fixed-rate time certificates, as customers took advantage of higher interest rates for these products.
     Average time certificates of deposit less than $100,000 were higher in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 by $1.0 billion (7.5 percent) and $1.1 billion (8.4 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. The year-over-year growth in time certificates less than $100,000 was primarily due to consumer-based time deposits, reflecting customer migration to higher rate deposit products. Average time deposits greater than $100,000 decreased $2.2 billion (9.7 percent) and $.9 billion (3.9 percent) in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. Time deposits greater than $100,000 are largely viewed as purchased funds and are managed at levels deemed appropriate, given alternative funding sources.
Provision for Credit Losses The provision for credit losses for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 increased $66 million (52.8 percent) and $128 million (53.3 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increases in the provision for credit losses in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 from the same periods a year ago reflected expected losses from strong growth in credit card accounts. Also, the provision for credit losses in the second quarter and first six months of 2006 partially reflected the favorable residual impact on net charge-offs of changes in bankruptcy laws in late 2005. Net charge-offs were $191 million in the second quarter and $368 million in the first six months of 2007, compared with $125 million in the second quarter and $240 million in the first six months of 2006. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
Noninterest Income Noninterest income in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 was $1,855 million and $3,551 million, respectively, compared with $1,755 million and $3,369 million in the same periods of 2006. The $100 million (5.7 percent) increase during the second quarter and $182 million (5.4 percent) increase during the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods in 2006, were driven by organic growth offset somewhat by a $35 million gain on the initial public offering of a cardholder association recorded in the second quarter of 2006. In addition, certain revenue categories were impacted by accounting items in the first six months of 2006.
     The growth in credit and debit card revenue was primarily driven by an increase in customer accounts and higher customer transaction volumes from a year ago. The corporate payment products revenue growth reflected organic growth in sales volumes and card usage, and an acquired business. Merchant processing services revenue growth reflected an increase in customers and sales volumes and business expansion. Trust and investment management fees increased year-over-year due to core account growth and favorable market conditions. Deposit service charges grew year-over-year primarily due to increased transaction-related fees and continued growth in net new checking accounts. Treasury management fees increased over the

prior year due to higher transaction volumes and customer growth.
     Favorable changes in fee-based revenue were partially offset by a decline in other income. The reduction in other income in the second quarter of 2007, compared with the second quarter of 2006, reflected the $35 million gain recognized in the second quarter of 2006 related to the initial public offering of a cardholder association, partially offset by an increase in revenue from incremental investment in a bank-owned life insurance program and higher revenue from equity investments. In addition, the reduction in other income in the first six months of 2007, compared with the first six months of 2006, resulted from a $44 million trading gain recognized in the first quarter of 2006 related to terminating certain interest rate swaps previously designated as cash flow hedges that did not qualify as hedges in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as well as a $10 million favorable settlement within the merchant processing business recorded in the prior year. Mortgage banking revenue declined in the second quarter of 2007, compared with the same period of the prior year, as growth in both production gains and servicing income was more than offset by an adverse change in the valuation of MSRs and corresponding MSR economic hedges due to changes in interest rates late in the second quarter of 2007. Mortgage banking revenue increased in the first six months of 2007 due to changes in accounting for MSRs and mortgage banking revenue that resulted in a $37 million reduction in revenue in the first quarter of 2006.
Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense was $1,640 million in the second quarter and $3,185 million in the first six months of 2007, reflecting increases of $110 million (7.2 percent) and $155 million (5.1 percent), respectively, from the same periods of 2006. Compensation expense increased due to ongoing bank operations and acquired businesses. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased primarily due to acquisitions and branch-based business initiatives. Professional services expense increased due to revenue enhancing business initiatives and higher legal costs associated with litigation and the establishment of a bank charter in Ireland to support pan-European payment processing. Marketing and business development expense increased year-over-year due to the timing of customer promotions, solicitations and advertising activities. Postage, printing and supplies expense increased due to changes in postal rates and increases in customer-related operations. Other intangibles expense increased from the same periods of 2006 due to recent acquisitions in Consumer Banking, Wealth Management and Payment Services. Other expense increased over the prior year due to an increase in the Company’s merchant airline processing, driven by volumes and the impact of the recent signing of a contract with a major airline. Changes in other expense also reflected an increase in the costs related to tax-advantaged investments, integration expenses related to recent acquisitions and higher credit-related costs for other real estate owned and loan collection activities. These expense increases were partially offset by an $11 million debt prepayment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2006.
Income Tax Expense The provision for income taxes was $500 million (an effective rate of 30.2 percent) for the second quarter and $993 million (an effective rate of 30.3 percent) for the first six months of 2007,

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Loans The Company’s total loan portfolio was $145.7 billion at June 30, 2007, compared with $143.6 billion at December 31, 2006, an increase of $2.1 billion (1.5 percent). The increase was driven by growth in retail loans, residential mortgages and commercial loans, partially offset by a decrease in commercial real estate loans. The $.3 billion (.6 percent) increase in commercial loans was primarily driven by seasonal increases in corporate payment card balances.
     Commercial real estate loans decreased slightly to $28.4 billion at June 30, 2007, compared with $28.6 billion at December 31, 2006. The decline in commercial real estate balances reflected current unfavorable real estate market conditions in certain industry sectors and the excess liquidity in the capital markets.
     Residential mortgages held in the loan portfolio increased $.7 billion (3.3 percent) at June 30, 2007, compared with December 31, 2006, reflecting an increase in consumer finance originations.
     Total retail loans outstanding, which include credit card, retail leasing, home equity and second mortgages and other retail loans, increased $1.4 billion (2.9 percent) at June 30, 2007, compared with December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily driven by growth in credit card, installment and home equity loans, partially offset by decreases in retail leasing and student loan balances.
     At June 30, 2007, the residential and home equity and second mortgage portfolios included approximately $3.2 billion and $.9 billion, respectively, of loans to customers that may be defined as sub-prime borrowers. Together, these balances represented 2.8 percent of the Company’s total loans outstanding at June 30, 2007.
Loans Held for Sale At June 30, 2007, loans held for sale, consisting of residential mortgages, student loans and other selective loans to be sold in the secondary market, were $4.6 billion, compared with $3.3 billion at December 31, 2006. The increase in loans held for sale was principally due to seasonal loan originations and the timing of sales during the first six months of 2007.
Investment Securities Investment securities, both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, totaled $39.5 billion at June 30, 2007, compared with $40.1 billion at December 31, 2006, reflecting purchases of $3.0 billion of securities, which were more than offset by sales, maturities, prepayments and a $.7 billion increase in the unrealized loss on the available-for-sale portfolio. As of June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, approximately 37 percent of the investment securities portfolio represented adjustable-rate financial instruments. Adjustable-rate financial instruments include variable-rate collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, adjustable-rate money market accounts and asset-backed securities.
Deposits Total deposits were $119.7 billion at June 30, 2007, compared with $124.9 billion at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $5.2 billion (4.1 percent). The decrease in total deposits was primarily the result of decreases in noninterest-bearing deposits, money market savings accounts and time deposits greater than $100,000, partially offset by an increase in interest checking accounts. The $2.6 billion (8.0 percent) decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily due to a decline of business demand deposits. The

$1.7 billion (6.3 percent) decrease in money market savings account balances reflected the Company’s deposit pricing decisions for money market products in relation to other fixed-rate deposit products. Time deposits greater than $100,000 decreased $2.5 billion (11.1 percent) at June 30, 2007, compared with December 31, 2006. Time deposits greater than $100,000 are largely viewed as purchased funds and are managed to levels deemed appropriate given alternative funding sources. Interest checking account balances increased $.9 billion (3.6 percent) due to higher trust and custody balances and a migration from noninterest-bearing accounts within government banking.
Borrowings The Company utilizes both short-term and long-term borrowings to fund growth of assets in excess of deposit growth. Short-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased, commercial paper, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings, were $27.2 billion at June 30, 2007, compared with $26.9 billion at December 31, 2006. Short-term funding is managed within approved liquidity policies. Long-term debt was $45.9 billion at June 30, 2007, compared with $37.6 billion at December 31, 2006, reflecting the issuances of $3.0 billion of convertible senior debentures, $1.3 billion of subordinated notes, $1.3 billion of bank notes and $.5 billion of junior subordinated debentures, and the net addition of $4.4 billion of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, partially offset by $1.7 billion of bank note maturities. The $8.3 billion (22.2 percent) increase in long-term debt reflected wholesale funding associated with the Company’s asset growth and asset/liability management activities. Refer to the “Liquidity Risk Management” section for discussion of liquidity management of the Company.
CORPORATE RISK PROFILE
Overview Managing risks is an essential part of successfully operating a financial services company. The most prominent risk exposures are credit, residual value, operational, interest rate, market and liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the interest and/or the principal balance of a loan or investment when it is due. Residual value risk is the potential reduction in the end-of-term value of leased assets or the residual cash flows related to asset securitization and other off-balance sheet structures. Operational risk includes risks related to fraud, legal and compliance risk, processing errors, technology, breaches of internal controls and business continuation and disaster recovery risk. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates, which can affect the repricing of assets and liabilities differently, as well as their market value. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as trading and available-for-sale securities that are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, investors or borrowers. In addition, corporate strategic decisions, as well as the risks described above, could give rise to reputation risk. Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity or press, whether true or not, could result in costly litigation or cause a decline in the Company’s stock value, customer base or revenue.
Credit Risk Management The Company’s strategy for credit risk management includes well-defined, centralized credit policies, uniform underwriting criteria, and ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all commercial and consumer credit exposures. In evaluating its credit risk, the Company considers changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, the level of allowance coverage relative to similar banking institutions and macroeconomic factors. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Credit Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for a more detailed discussion on credit risk management processes.
Loan Delinquencies Trends in delinquency ratios represent an indicator, among other considerations, of credit risk within the Company’s loan portfolios. The Company measures delinquencies, both including and excluding nonperforming loans, to enable comparability with other companies. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due totaled $376 million at June 30, 2007, compared with $349 million at December 31, 2006. These loans are not included in nonperforming assets and continue to accrue interest because they are adequately secured by collateral, and/or are in the process of collection and are reasonably expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status. The ratio of accruing loans 90 days or more past due to total loans was ..26 percent at June 30, 2007, compared with ..24 percent at December 31, 2006.
     The Company’s retail lending business utilizes several distinct business processes and channels to originate retail credit, including traditional branch lending, indirect lending, portfolio acquisitions and a

To monitor credit risk associated with retail loans, the Company monitors delinquency ratios in the various stages of collection, including nonperforming status.

(a) Throughout this document, nonperforming assets and related ratios do not include accruing loans 90 days or more past due.
(b) Excludes $85 million and $83 million of foreclosed GNMA loans which continue to accrue interest at June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively.
(c) Charge-offs exclude actions for certain card products and loan sales that were not classified as nonperforming at the time the charge-off occurred.
(d) Residential mortgage information excludes changes related to residential mortgages serviced by others.

$105 million and $50 million, respectively, at December 31, 2006.
Nonperforming Assets The level of nonperforming assets represents another indicator of the potential for future credit losses. At June 30, 2007, total nonperforming assets were $565 million, compared with $587 million at December 31, 2006. The ratio of total nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate decreased to .39 percent at June 30, 2007, compared with .41 percent at December 31, 2006.
     Included in nonperforming loans were restructured loans of $34 million at June 30, 2007, compared with $38 million at December 31, 2006. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $2 million of commitments to lend additional funds under restructured loans, compared with no commitments at December 31, 2006.
     Other real estate included in nonperforming assets was $103 million at June 30, 2007, compared with $95 million at December 31, 2006, and was primarily related to properties that the Company has taken ownership of that once secured residential mortgages and home equity and second mortgage loan balances.

     Within other real estate in the table above, approximately $53 million at June 30, 2007, and $41 million at December 31, 2006, were from portfolios that may be defined as sub-prime.
     Based on existing economic and market conditions, the Company expects nonperforming assets to increase modestly over the next several quarters.
Restructured Loans Accruing Interest On a case-by-case basis, management determines whether an account that experiences financial difficulties should be modified as to its interest rate or repayment terms to maximize the Company’s collection of its balance.
     Loans restructured at a rate equal to or greater than that of a new loan with comparable risk at the time the contract is modified are excluded from restructured loans once repayment performance, in accordance with the modified agreement, has been demonstrated over several payment cycles. Loans that have interest rates reduced below comparable market rates remain classified as restructured loans; however, interest income is accrued at the reduced rate as long as the customer complies with the revised terms and conditions.

Analysis of Loan Net Charge-Offs Total loan net charge-offs were $191 million and $368 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared with net charge-offs of $125 million and $240 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2006. The ratio of total loan net charge-offs to average loans outstanding on an annualized basis in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 was .53 percent and ..51 percent, respectively, compared with .36 percent and .35 percent, respectively, for the same periods of 2006. The expected year-over-year increases in total net charge-offs were due primarily to an anticipated increase in consumer charge-offs, specifically related to strong credit card growth, lower credit card charge-offs in prior periods related to the impact of changes in bankruptcy legislation that went into effect in late 2005 and the impact of implementing minimum balance payment programs for consumer loans.
     Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2007 were $38 million (.20 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $20 million (.11 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the second quarter of 2006. Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs for the first six months of 2007 were $74 million (.20 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $34 million (.09 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the first six months of 2006. The Company expects commercial and commercial real estate net charge-offs to continue to increase somewhat over the next several quarters, due to higher gross charge-offs and lower loan recoveries.

     Retail loan net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2007 were $138 million (1.15 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $94 million (.84 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the second quarter of 2006. Retail loan net charge-offs for the first six months of 2007 were $267 million (1.13 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $188 million (.85 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the first six months of 2006. The increase in retail loan net charge-offs reflected the impact of bankruptcy legislation changes that occurred in late 2005 and the implementation of the minimum balance payment requirements for credit cards. The Company anticipates slightly higher delinquencies in the retail portfolios and that net charge-offs will continue to increase modestly during the remainder of 2007.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Losses  The allowance for loan losses provides coverage for probable and estimable losses inherent in the Company’s loan and lease portfolio. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to determine that it is adequate to cover these inherent losses. Several factors were taken into consideration in evaluating the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2007, including the risk profile of the portfolios and loan net charge-offs during the period, the level of nonperforming assets, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, delinquency ratios and changes in restructured loan balances compared with December 31, 2006. Management also considered the uncertainty related to certain industry sectors, and the extent of credit exposure to specific borrowers within the portfolio. In addition, concentration risks associated with commercial real estate and the mix of loans, including credit cards, loans originated through the consumer finance division and residential mortgage balances, and their relative credit risks were evaluated. Finally, the Company considered current economic conditions that might impact the portfolio.
     At June 30, 2007, the allowance for credit losses was $2,260 million (1.55 percent of loans), compared with an allowance of $2,256 million (1.57 percent of loans) at December 31, 2006. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 503 percent at June 30, 2007, compared with 480 percent at December 31, 2006. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to annualized loan net charge-offs was 295 percent at June 30, 2007, compared with 415 percent at December 31, 2006.
Residual Value Risk Management The Company manages its risk to changes in the residual value of leased assets through disciplined residual valuation setting at the inception of a lease, diversification of its leased assets, regular residual asset valuation reviews and monitoring of residual value gains or losses upon the disposition of assets. As of June 30, 2007, no significant change in the amount of residuals or concentration of the portfolios has occurred since December 31, 2006. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Residual Value Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for further discussion on residual value risk management.
Operational Risk Management The Company manages operational risk through a risk management framework and its internal control processes. Within this framework, the Corporate Risk Committee (“Risk Committee”) provides oversight and assesses the most significant operational risks facing the Company within its business lines. Under the guidance of the Risk Committee, enterprise risk management personnel establish policies and interact with business lines to monitor significant operating risks on a regular basis. Business lines have direct and primary responsibility and accountability for identifying, controlling, and monitoring operational risks embedded in their business activities. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Operational Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for further discussion on operational risk management.
Interest Rate Risk Management In the banking industry, changes in interest rates are a significant risk that can impact earnings, market valuations and safety and soundness of an entity. To minimize the volatility of net interest income and the market value of assets and liabilities, the Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management activities within guidelines established by its Asset Liability Policy Committee (“ALPC”) and approved by the Board of Directors. ALPC has the responsibility for approving and ensuring compliance with ALPC management policies, including interest rate

risk exposure. The Company uses net interest income simulation analysis and market value of equity modeling for measuring and analyzing consolidated interest rate risk.
Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis Through this simulation, management estimates the impact on net interest income of gradual upward or downward changes of market interest rates over a one-year period, the effect of immediate and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve and the effect of immediate and sustained flattening or steepening of the yield curve. The table below summarizes the interest rate risk of net interest income based on forecasts over the succeeding 12 months. At June 30, 2007, the Company’s overall interest rate risk position was liability sensitive to changes in interest rates. ALPC policy guidelines limit the estimated change in net interest income to 4.0 percent of forecasted net interest income over the succeeding 12 months. At June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the Company was within its policy guidelines. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for further discussion on net interest income simulation analysis.
Market Value of Equity Modeling The Company also manages interest rate sensitivity by utilizing market value of equity modeling, which measures the degree to which the market values of the Company’s assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments will change given a change in interest rates. ALPC guidelines limit the change in market value of equity in a 200 basis point parallel rate shock to 15 percent of the market value of equity assuming interest rates at June 30, 2007. The up 200 basis point scenario resulted in a 9.2 percent decrease in the market value of equity at June 30, 2007, compared with a 6.7 percent decrease at December 31, 2006. The down 200 basis point scenario resulted in a ..6 percent decrease in the market value of equity at June 30, 2007, compared with a 1.8 percent decrease at December 31, 2006. At June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the Company was within its policy guidelines.
     The Company also uses duration of equity as a measure of interest rate risk. The duration of equity is a measure of the net market value sensitivity of the assets, liabilities and derivative positions of the Company. At June 30, 2007, the duration of assets, liabilities and equity was 2.0 years, 1.8 years and 2.7 years, respectively, compared with 1.8 years, 1.9 years and 1.6 years, respectively, at December 31, 2006. The duration of equity measures shows that sensitivity of the market value of equity of the Company was liability sensitive to changes in interest rates. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Market Value of Equity Modeling” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for further discussion on market value of equity modeling.
Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate and Other Risks In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into derivative transactions to manage its interest rate, prepayment, credit, price and foreign currency risks (“asset and liability management positions”) and to accommodate the business requirements of its customers (“customer-related positions”). Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate and Other Risks” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for further discussion on the use of derivatives to manage interest rate and other risks.

(a) At June 30, 2007, the credit equivalent amount was $2 million and $68 million, compared with $2 million and $50 million at December 31, 2006, for purchased and written risk participation agreements, respectively.
     By their nature, derivative instruments are subject to market risk. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Of the Company’s $42.0 billion of total notional amount of asset and liability management positions at June 30, 2007, $26.8 billion was designated as either cash flow or fair value hedges or net investment hedges of foreign operations. The cash flow hedge derivative positions are interest rate swaps that hedge the forecasted cash flows from the underlying variable-rate debt. The fair value hedges are primarily interest rate swaps that hedge the change in fair value related to interest rate changes of underlying fixed-rate debt and subordinated obligations.
     In addition, the Company uses forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to hedge its interest rate risk related to residential mortgage loans held for sale. In connection with its mortgage banking operations, the Company held $2.5 billion of forward commitments to sell mortgage loans and $2.4 billion of unfunded mortgage loan commitments at June 30, 2007, that were derivatives in accordance with the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedge Activities.” The unfunded mortgage loan commitments are reported at fair value as options in Table 9. The Company also utilizes U.S. Treasury futures, options on U.S. Treasury futures contracts and forward commitments to buy residential mortgage loans to economically hedge the change in fair value of its residential MSRs.
     At June 30, 2007, the Company had less than $1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to realized and unrealized losses on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains and

losses are reflected in earnings when the related cash flows or hedged transactions occur and offset the related performance of the hedged items. The estimated amount to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the remainder of 2007 and the next 12 months is a loss of $12 million and $16 million, respectively.
     The change in the fair value of all other asset and liability management positions attributed to hedge ineffectiveness recorded in noninterest income was not material for the second quarter and first six months of 2007. Gains or losses on customer-related positions were not material for the second quarter and first six months of 2007.
     The Company enters into derivatives to protect its net investment in certain foreign operations. The Company uses forward commitments to sell specified amounts of certain foreign currencies to hedge fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The net amount of gains or losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 was not material.
Market Risk Management In addition to interest rate risk, the Company is exposed to other forms of market risk as a consequence of conducting normal trading activities. These trading activities principally support the risk management processes of the Company’s customers including their management of foreign currency and interest rate risks. The Company also manages market risk of non-trading business activities including its MSRs and loans held-for-sale. Value at Risk (“VaR”) is a key measure of market risk for the Company. Theoretically, VaR represents the maximum amount that the Company has placed at risk of loss, with a ninety-ninth percentile degree of confidence, to adverse market movements in the course of its risk taking activities.
     The Company’s market valuation risk for trading and non-trading positions, as estimated by the VaR analysis, was $1 million and $13 million, respectively, at June 30, 2007, compared with $1 million and $30 million, respectively, at December 31, 2006. At June 30, 2007, the Company’s VaR limit was $45 million. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Market Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for further discussion on market risk management.
Liquidity Risk Management ALPC establishes policies, as well as analyzes and manages liquidity, to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet normal operating requirements in addition to unexpected customer demands for funds in a timely and cost-effective manner. Liquidity management is viewed from long-term and short-term perspectives, as well as from an asset and liability perspective. Management monitors liquidity through a regular review of maturity profiles, funding sources, and loan and deposit forecasts to minimize funding risk. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Liquidity Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for further discussion on liquidity risk management.
     At June 30, 2007, parent company long-term debt outstanding was $14.5 billion, compared with $11.4 billion at December 31, 2006. The $3.1 billion increase was primarily due to the issuances of $3.0 billion of convertible senior debentures and $.5 billion of junior subordinated debentures during the first six months of 2007. As of June 30, 2007, there was $1.3 billion of parent company debt scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2007.
     Federal banking laws regulate the amount of dividends that may be paid by banking subsidiaries without prior approval. The amount of dividends available to the parent company from its banking subsidiaries after meeting the regulatory capital requirements for well-capitalized banks was approximately $1.2 billion at June 30, 2007.
Capital Management The Company is committed to managing capital for maximum shareholder benefit and maintaining strong protection for depositors and creditors. In the first six months of 2007, the Company returned 139 percent of earnings to its common shareholders through a combination of dividends and net share repurchases. The Company also manages its capital to exceed regulatory capital requirements for well-capitalized bank holding companies. Table 10 provides a summary of capital ratios as of June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006. All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess of regulatory “well-capitalized” requirements. Total shareholders’ equity was $20.3 billion at June 30, 2007, compared with $21.2 billion at December 31, 2006. The decrease was the result of share repurchases and dividends, partially offset by corporate earnings.
     On August 3, 2006, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved an authorization to repurchase 150 million shares of common stock through December 31, 2008.

LINE OF BUSINESS FINANCIAL REVIEW
     Within the Company, financial performance is measured by major lines of business, which include Wholesale Banking, Consumer Banking, Wealth Management, Payment Services, and Treasury and Corporate Support. These operating segments are components of the Company about which financial information is available and is evaluated regularly in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
Basis for Financial Presentation Business line results are derived from the Company’s business unit profitability reporting systems by specifically attributing managed balance sheet assets, deposits and other liabilities and their related income or expense. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Line of Business Financial Review” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for further discussion on the business lines’ basis for financial presentation.
     Designations, assignments and allocations change from time to time as management systems are enhanced, methods of evaluating performance or product lines change or business segments are realigned to better respond to the Company’s diverse customer base. During 2007, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, 2006 results were restated and presented on a comparable basis.
Wholesale Banking offers lending, equipment finance and small-ticket leasing, depository, treasury management, capital markets, foreign exchange, international trade services and other financial services to middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate and public sector clients. Wholesale Banking contributed $278 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $553 million in the first six months of 2007, or decreases of $27 million (8.9 percent) and $59 million (9.6 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. The decreases were primarily driven by lower total net revenue, higher total noninterest expense and an increase in the provision for credit losses.
     Total net revenue decreased $19 million (2.7 percent) in the second quarter and $45 million (3.2 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, decreased $32 million (6.6 percent) in the second quarter and $58 million (6.0 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The decreases were driven by tighter credit spreads and a decline in average noninterest-bearing deposit balances as customers utilized their liquidity to fund business growth and to generate higher returns by investing excess funds in interest-bearing deposit and sweep products. The decreases were partially offset by growth in average loan balances and the margin benefit of deposits. The increase in average loans was driven by commercial loan growth during 2006 and the first six months of 2007. Noninterest income increased $13 million (5.8 percent) in the second quarter and $13 million (2.9 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006, as an increase in treasury management revenue was offset by lower capital markets revenue.
     Total noninterest expense increased $11 million (4.8 percent) in the second quarter and $13 million (2.8 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006, primarily as a result of increases in personnel expenses related to investments in select business units. The provision for credit losses increased $12 million in the second quarter and $33 million in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The unfavorable

changes were primarily due to an increase in gross charge-offs. Credit quality continued to be strong within this business segment. Nonperforming assets were $230 million at June 30, 2007, $226 million at March 31, 2007, and $218 million at June 30, 2006. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of period-end loans were .46 percent at June 30, 2007, .44 percent at March 31, 2007, and .43 percent at June 30, 2006. Refer to the “Corporate Risk Profile” section for further information on factors impacting the credit quality of the loan portfolios.
Consumer Banking delivers products and services through banking offices, telephone servicing and sales, on-line services, direct mail and ATMs. It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking, in-store banking, small business banking, consumer lending, mortgage banking, consumer finance, workplace banking, student banking and 24-hour banking. Consumer Banking contributed $456 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $891 million in the first six months of 2007, or decreases of $32 million (6.6 percent) and $10 million (1.1 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. The retail banking division contributed $428 million of the total contribution in the second quarter and $838 million in the first six months of 2007, or decreases of 5.9 percent and 3.0 percent, respectively, compared with the same periods in the prior year.
     Total net revenue increased $7 million (.5 percent) in the second quarter and $69 million (2.5 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $1 million (.1 percent) in the second quarter and $16 million (.8 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The year-over-year increases in net interest income were due to growth in average loans, higher loan fees and the funding benefit of deposits. Partially offsetting these increases were reduced spreads on commercial and retail loans due to competitive pricing within the Company’s markets. The increases in average loan balances reflected growth in all loan categories, with the largest increase in retail loans. The growth in retail loans was principally driven by an increase in installment and home equity loans, partially offset by a reduction in retail leasing balances due to customer demand for installment loan products and pricing competition. The year-over-year decreases in average deposits reflected a reduction in savings and noninterest-bearing deposit products, partially offset by growth in time deposits and interest checking. Average time deposit balances grew $1.6 billion (8.7 percent) in the second quarter and $1.7 billion (9.6 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006, as a portion of noninterest-bearing and money market balances migrated to fixed-rate time deposit products. Average savings balances declined $1.7 billion (7.9 percent), in the second quarter and $2.1 billion (9.7 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006, primarily related to a decrease in money market account balances. Fee-based noninterest income increased $6 million (1.3 percent) in the second quarter and $53 million (6.2 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increase in fee-based revenue in the second quarter of 2007, compared to the same period of 2006 was driven primarily by an increase in deposit service charges. The increase in fee-based revenue in the first six months of 2007, compared to the same period of 2006, was driven by an increase in mortgage banking revenue, principally related to the adoption of fair value accounting for MSRs, as well as an increase in deposit service charges. These increases were partially offset by lower revenue related to student loan sales.
     Total noninterest expense increased $35 million (5.7 percent) in the second quarter and $56 million (4.6 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increases were primarily attributable to increases in compensation and employee benefit expenses which reflected the net addition, including the impact of recent acquisitions, of 25 in-store and 40 traditional branches at June 30, 2007, compared with June 30, 2006.
     The provision for credit losses increased $22 million (40.0 percent) in the second quarter and $29 million (24.8 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increases were attributable to higher net charge-offs. As a percentage of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis, net charge-offs increased to ..42 percent in the second quarter of 2007, compared with ..31 percent in the second quarter of 2006. Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs increased $4 million (40.0 percent) in the second quarter of 2007, compared with the second quarter of 2006. Retail loan and residential mortgage net charge-offs increased $18 million (40.0 percent) in the second quarter of 2007, compared with the second quarter of 2006, reflecting higher levels of bankruptcy-related losses. Nonperforming assets were $300 million at June 30, 2007, $312 million at March 31, 2007, and $275 million at June 30, 2006. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of period-end loans were .42 percent at

Wealth Management provides trust, private banking, financial advisory, investment management, retail brokerage services, insurance, custody and mutual fund servicing through six businesses: Private Client Group, Corporate Trust, U.S. Bancorp Investments & Insurance, FAF Advisors, Institutional Trust & Custody and Fund Services. Wealth Management contributed $169 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $322 million in the first six months of 2007, or increases of $20 million (13.4 percent) and $36 million (12.6 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. The growth was primarily attributable to core account fee growth and improved equity market conditions relative to a year ago.
     Total net revenue increased $26 million (5.2 percent) in the second quarter and $46 million (4.7 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, decreased $8 million (6.3 percent) in the second quarter and $12 million (4.7 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The decreases in net interest income were due to the unfavorable impacts from deposit pricing and tightening credit spreads, partially offset by earnings from deposit growth. The increases in total deposits were attributable to growth in noninterest-bearing deposits, interest checking and time deposits, principally due to acquired businesses. Noninterest income increased $34 million (9.2 percent) in the second quarter and $58 million (8.1 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006, primarily driven by core account fee growth and favorable equity market conditions.
     Total noninterest expense decreased $3 million (1.2 percent) in the second quarter and $7 million (1.3 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The decreases were primarily due to the completion of certain acquisition integration activities.
Payment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, stored-value cards, debit cards, corporate and purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit, ATM processing and merchant processing. Payment Services contributed $259 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $489 million in the first six months of 2007, or increases of $6 million (2.4 percent) and $11 million (2.3 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increases were due to growth in total net revenue driven by loan growth and higher transaction volumes, partially offset by an increase in total noninterest expense and a higher provision for credit losses.
     Total net revenue increased $89 million (11.0 percent) in the second quarter and $163 million (10.4 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $10 million (6.4 percent) in the second quarter and $16 million (5.0 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increases were primarily due to growth in higher yielding retail credit card loan balances, partially offset by declining spreads on retail credit cards. Noninterest income increased $79 million (12.1 percent) in the second quarter and $147 million (11.8 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increases in fee-based revenue were driven by higher transaction volumes, rate changes, and business expansion initiatives. The increase in noninterest income for the first six months of 2007, compared with the same period of the prior year, was partially offset by a merchant processing settlement recorded in the first quarter of 2006.
     Total noninterest expense increased $43 million (12.4 percent) in the second quarter and $76 million (11.0 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increases were primarily attributable to the acquisition of merchant acquiring and corporate payments businesses, and growth in personnel expense, marketing, and consulting expense related to other new business initiatives.
     The provision for credit losses increased $36 million (55.4 percent) in the second quarter and $69 million (55.2 percent) in the first six months 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006, due to higher net charge-offs, reflecting portfolio growth, the impact of implementing minimum balance repayment requirements for credit cards and other consumer lines and a higher level of losses due to changes in bankruptcy legislation that went into effect in late 2005. As a percentage of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis, net charge-offs were 2.83 percent in the second quarter of 2007, compared with 2.12 percent in the second quarter of 2006.
Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company’s investment portfolios, funding, capital management and asset securitization activities, interest rate risk management, the net effect of transfer pricing related to average balances and the residual aggregate of those expenses associated with corporate activities that are

managed on a consolidated basis. Treasury and Corporate Support recorded a net loss of $6 million in the second quarter and net income of $31 million in the first six months of 2007, compared with net income of $6 million and $77 million in the same periods of 2006, respectively.
     Total net revenue decreased $50 million in the second quarter and $157 million in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The year-over-year decreases in total net revenue were due to unfavorable variances in both net interest income and noninterest income. The declines in net interest income reflected the impact of a flatter yield curve and the impact of issuing higher cost wholesale funding to support earning asset growth. Noninterest income decreased $32 million (78.0 percent) in the second quarter and $89 million (83.2 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The decreases were primarily due to a gain recognized in second quarter of 2006 related to the initial public offering of a cardholder association. In addition, the decrease for the first six months of 2007, compared with the same period of the prior year, was due to trading gains realized in the first quarter of 2006 related to terminating certain interest rate derivatives.
     Total noninterest expense increased $24 million (30.0 percent) in the second quarter and $17 million (12.7 percent) in the first six months of 2007, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increases were driven by increases in compensation and benefits primarily in the technology development areas, higher costs related to tax-advantaged investments, and higher expenses associated with systems conversions for recent acquisitions.
     The provision for credit losses for this business unit represents the residual aggregate of the net credit losses allocated to the reportable business units and the Company’s recorded provision determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Refer to the “Corporate Risk Profile” section for further information on the provision for credit losses, nonperforming assets and factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
     Income taxes are assessed to each line of business at a managerial tax rate of 36.4 percent with the residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate included in Treasury and Corporate Support. The consolidated effective tax rate of the Company was 30.2 percent in the second quarter and 30.3 percent in the first six months of 2007, compared with 32.8 percent and 32.7 percent in the same periods of 2006, respectively. The decreases in the effective tax rate primarily reflected higher tax exempt income from municipal securities, incremental tax credits generated from investments in affordable housing and similar tax-advantaged projects, and expansion of a bank-owned life insurance program.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     The accounting and reporting policies of the Company comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions, which are integral to understanding the Company’s financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or complex. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Those policies considered to be critical accounting policies relate to the allowance for credit losses, MSRs, goodwill and other intangibles and income taxes. Management has discussed the development and the selection of critical accounting policies with the Company’s Audit Committee. These accounting policies are discussed in detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Critical Accounting Policies” and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
     During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there was no change made in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management of U.S. Bancorp (the “Company”), all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been made. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
     Accounting policies for the lines of business are generally the same as those used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements with respect to activities specifically attributable to each business line. However, the preparation of business line results requires management to establish methodologies to allocate funding costs and benefits, expenses and other financial elements to each line of business. Table 11 “Line of Business Financial Performance” provides details of segment results. This information is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2 Accounting Changes
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2008. This Statement provides entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with the objective to reduce both the complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements”, effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2008. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between valuations obtained from sources independent of the entity and those from the entity’s own unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data. SFAS 157 expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. The disclosures focus on the inputs used to measure fair value, and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, the effect of the measurements on earnings or changes in net assets for the period. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,” effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on disclosure and other matters. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 4 Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company’s portfolio of residential mortgages serviced for others was $89.7 billion and $82.9 billion at June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company records mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) initially at fair value and at each subsequent reporting date, and records changes in fair value in noninterest income in the period in which they occur. In conjunction with its MSRs, the Company may utilize derivatives, including futures and option contracts to manage the volatility of changes in the fair value of MSRs. The net impact of assumption changes on the fair value of MSRs, excluding decay, and the related derivatives included in mortgage banking revenue was a net loss of $6 million and a net gain of $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and a net loss of $5 million and $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Loan servicing fees, not including valuation changes, included in mortgage banking revenue were $87 million and $80 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and $173 million and $156 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively.
Changes in fair value of capitalized MSRs are summarized as follows:
                                     
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    June 30,   June 30,
     
(Dollars in Millions)   2007   2006   2007   2006

Balance at end of period
    $1,649       $1,323       $1,649       $1,323  
 
(a) Principally reflects changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, primarily arising from interest rate changes.
(b) Primarily represents changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows over time (decay).
     The Company determines fair value by estimating the present value of the asset’s future cash flows utilizing market-based prepayment rates, discount rates, and other assumptions validated through comparison to trade information, industry surveys, and independent third party appraisals. Risks inherent in the valuation of MSRs include higher than expected prepayment rates and/or delayed receipt of cash flows. The estimated sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the fair value of the MSRs portfolio and the related derivative instruments at June 30, 2007, was as follows:
                                 
    Down Scenario   Up Scenario

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in a cumulative-effect accounting adjustment for the Company. The Company elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions as components of income tax expense. At January 1, 2007, the Company’s total amount of unrecognized tax positions were $364 million, of which $237 million related to unrecognized tax positions that if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. In addition, the amount accrued for the payment of interest on unrecognized tax positions was $22 million.
     The Company’s income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state, local and foreign government authorities. On an ongoing basis, numerous federal, state, local and foreign examinations are in progress and cover multiple tax years. As of June 30, 2007, the federal taxing authority has completed its examination of the Company through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The years open to examination by foreign, state and local government authorities vary by jurisdiction.
     The Company’s net deferred tax liability was $1,218 million at June 30, 2007, and $1,483 million at December 31, 2006.

Note 8 Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities
The following table is a summary of the guarantees and contingent liabilities of the Company at June 30, 2007:
                 
        Maximum
        Potential
    Carrying   Future
(Dollars in Millions)   Amount   Payments
 
Standby letters of credit
    $71       $11,934  
Third-party borrowing arrangements
    3       386  
Securities lending indemnifications
          18,239  
Asset sales (a)
    7       512  
Merchant processing
    50       78,358  
Other guarantees
    34       1,674  
Other contingent liabilities
          1,981  
 
(a) The maximum potential future payments does not include loan sales where the Company provides standard representations and warranties to the buyer against losses related to loan underwriting documentation. For these types of loan sales, the maximum potential future payments are not readily determinable because the Company’s obligation under these agreements depends upon the occurrence of future events.
     The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides merchant processing services. Under the rules of credit card associations, a merchant processor retains a contingent liability for credit card transactions processed. This contingent liability arises in the event of a billing dispute between the merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder’s favor. In this situation, the transaction is “charged-back” to the merchant and the disputed amount is credited or otherwise refunded to the cardholder. If the Company is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, it bears the loss for the amount of the refund paid to the cardholder.
     The Company currently processes card transactions in the United States, Canada and Europe for airlines, cruise lines and large tour operators. In the event of liquidation of these merchants, the Company could become financially liable for refunding tickets purchased through the credit card associations under the charge-back provisions. Charge-back risk related to these merchants is evaluated in a manner similar to credit risk assessments and, as such, merchant processing contracts contain various provisions to protect the Company in the event of default. At June 30, 2007, the value of airline, cruise line and large tour operator tickets purchased to be delivered at a future date was $5.1 billion, with airline tickets representing 92 percent of that amount. The Company held collateral of $1.1 billion in escrow deposits, letters of credit and indemnities from financial institutions, and liens on various assets.
     The Company is subject to various other litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its businesses. Due to their complex nature, it may be years before some matters are resolved. While it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate resolution or range of financial liability with respect to these contingent matters, the Company believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
     For additional information on the nature of the Company’s guarantees and contingent liabilities, please refer to Note 21 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
