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.

Certain historical financial statements and other selected financial data were restated to comply with the accounting treatment for certain derivative transactions under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended” (SFAS 133). For additional information on this restatement, see Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2006.

As part of its credit portfolio management, the Corporation purchases credit protection through credit derivatives. Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation classifies the impact of these credit derivatives that economically hedge the portfolio in Other Income. Prior to January 1, 2006, the impact was classified in Trading Account Profits.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

Recently Issued or Proposed Accounting Pronouncements

On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 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. FSP 13-2 is effective as of January 1, 2007 and requires that the cumulative effect of adoption be reflected as an adjustment to the beginning balance of Retained Earnings in the period of adoption with a corresponding offset decreasing the net investment in leveraged leases. Management currently estimates that the adoption of FSP 13-2 will result in an adjustment increasing Goodwill by approximately $400 million for leveraged leases acquired as part of the FleetBoston Merger and a charge of approximately $350 million to Retained Earnings as of January 1, 2007.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB released 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 Corporation will adopt FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to the beginning balance of Retained Earnings. Management is currently evaluating the effect of FIN 48 on the Corporation.

Table of Contents

On March 31, 2006, the FASB issued an exposure draft, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).” The exposure draft requires the recognition of a plan’s over-funded or under-funded status as an asset or liability and an adjustment to Accumulated OCI. Additionally, the exposure draft requires determination of the fair values of a plan’s assets at a company’s year-end and recognition of actuarial gains and losses, and prior service costs and credits, as a component of Accumulated OCI. A final standard is expected to be issued during the second half of 2006 and is expected to be effective December 31, 2006. If the provisions in this exposure draft had been applied as of December 31, 2005, Shareholders’ Equity would have been reduced by approximately $2.9 billion before tax and approximately $1.9 billion after tax. For additional information on the Corporation’s pension and postretirement plans, see Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2006.

On March 17, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 140” (SFAS 156), which permits, but does not require, an entity to account for one or more classes of servicing rights (i.e., mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs) at fair value, with the changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Corporation elected to early adopt the standard and to account for consumer MSRs using the fair value measurement method on January 1, 2006. Commercial related MSRs continue to be accounted for using the amortization method (i.e., lower of cost or market). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial condition. For additional information on MSRs, see Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On February 16, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments” (SFAS 155), which permits, but does not require, fair value accounting for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation in accordance with SFAS 133. The statement also subjects beneficial interests issued by securitization vehicles to the requirements of SFAS 133. The statement is effective as of January 1, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations and financial condition.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-based Payment” (SFAS 123R). Previously, the Corporation accounted for stock-based employee compensation under the fair value-based method of accounting. For additional information on stock-based employee compensation, see Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

For additional information on recently issued accounting pronouncements and other significant accounting principles, see Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2006.

 

NOTE 2 – MBNA Merger and Restructuring Activity

The Corporation acquired 100 percent of the outstanding stock of MBNA on January 1, 2006 under the terms of the MBNA merger agreement. As a result, 1,260 million shares of MBNA common stock were exchanged for 631 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock. Prior to the MBNA merger, this represented approximately 16 percent of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock. MBNA shareholders also received cash of $5.2 billion. The MBNA merger was a tax-free merger for the Corporation. The acquisition expands the Corporation’s customer base and its opportunity to deepen customer relationships across the full breadth of the Corporation by delivering innovative deposit, lending and investment products and services to MBNA’s customer base. Additionally, the acquisition allows the Corporation to significantly increase its affinity relationships through MBNA’s credit card operations and sell these credit cards through its delivery channels (including the retail branch network). MBNA’s results of operations were included in the Corporation’s results beginning January 1, 2006.

The MBNA merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the MBNA merger date as summarized below. This allocation is based on management’s current estimation and could change as the fair value calculations are finalized and more information becomes available.

(2) Includes purchased credit card relationships of $5,698 million, affinity relationships of $1,641 million, core deposit intangibles of $214 million, and other intangibles of $333 million. The amortization life for core deposit intangibles is 10 years, and purchased credit card relationships and affinity relationships are 15 years and are amortized on an accelerated basis.
(3) No Goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Substantially all Goodwill was allocated to Global Consumer and Small Business Banking.

As a result of the MBNA merger, the Corporation acquired certain loans for which there was, at the time of the merger, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected. These loans were accounted for in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position No. 03-3 “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer”, which requires that purchased impaired loans be recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition. The purchase accounting adjustment to reduce impaired loans to fair value results in an increase in Goodwill. In addition, an adjustment was made to the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses for those impaired loans resulting in a decrease in Goodwill. The outstanding balance and fair value of such loans was approximately $1.3 billion and $940 million as of the merger date. At June 30, 2006, the outstanding balance of such loans was approximately $297 million.

Exit Costs and Restructuring Reserves

On January 1, 2006, liabilities of $468 million for MBNA’s exit and termination costs were recorded as purchase accounting adjustments resulting in an increase in Goodwill. Included in the $468 million were $409 million for severance, relocation and other employee-related expenses and $59 million for contract terminations. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, a reduction of $100 million to the exit cost reserves was recorded to reflect the impact of updated integration plans, including site consolidations. The reductions were related to severance, relocation and other employee-related expenses. In addition, cash payments of $45 million and $67 million were charged against this liability during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, including $35 million and $37 million of severance, relocation and other employee-related costs, and $10 million and $30 million of contract terminations reducing the balance in the liability to $301 million at June 30, 2006.

Restructuring reserves were established for legacy Bank of America associate severance, other employee-related expenses, and contract terminations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, $20 million and $33 million was recorded to the restructuring reserves related to associate severance and other employee-related expenses, and another $20 million and $41 million for contract terminations. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, cash payments of $4 million for severance and other employee-related costs reduced this liability. The net impact of these items increased the balance from $34 million at March 31, 2006 to $70 million at June 30, 2006.

Payments under exit costs and restructuring reserves associated with the MBNA merger are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2007. The following table presents the changes in Exit Costs and Restructuring Reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

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 133 accounting purposes. Non-hedging derivatives held for trading purposes are included in Derivative Assets or Derivative Liabilities with changes in fair value reflected in Trading Account Profits. Other non-hedging derivatives that are considered 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 on the Consolidated Statement of Income. A detailed discussion of derivative trading activities and Asset and Liability Management (ALM) activities are presented in Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2006.

The following table presents the contract/notional amounts and credit risk amounts at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the cash collateral applied against Derivative Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was $10.9 billion and $9.3 billion. In addition, at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the cash collateral placed against Derivative Liabilities was $10.7 billion and $7.6 billion.

The average fair value of Derivative Assets for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $26.1 billion and $25.2 billion. The average fair value of Derivative Liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $18.2 billion and $16.9 billion.

 

Fair Value and Cash Flow Hedges

The Corporation uses various types of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate 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 OCI of approximately $300 million (pre-tax) are expected to be reclassified into earnings. These net losses reclassified into earnings are expected to decrease income or increase expense on the respective hedged items.

NOTE 7 – Mortgage Servicing Rights

Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation accounts for consumer MSRs at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Corporation economically hedges these MSRs with certain derivatives such as purchased options and interest rate swaps. Prior to January 1, 2006, MSRs were accounted for on a lower of cost or market basis and hedged with derivatives that qualified for SFAS 133 hedge accounting.

(2) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, includes $(354) million and $(204) million related to change in value attributed to SFAS 133 hedged MSRs, and $(32) million and $(14) million of impairment charges.
(3) Net of impairment allowance of $258 million at June 30, 2005.

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 MSRs are accounted for using the amortization method (i.e., lower of cost or market). Commercial MSRs were $148 million at both June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and are not included in the table above.

 

NOTE 8 - Securitizations

The Corporation securitizes assets and may continue to hold a portion or all of the securities, subordinated tranches, interest-only strips and, in some cases, a cash reserve account, all of which are considered interests that continue to be held by a transferor in the securitized assets. Those assets may be serviced by the Corporation or by third parties. The Corporation also uses other special purpose financing entities to access the commercial paper market and for other lending, leasing and real estate activities.

As a result of the MBNA merger, the Corporation acquired interests in credit card, other consumer, and commercial loan securitization vehicles. These acquired interests include interest-only strips, subordinated tranches, cash reserve accounts, and subordinated accrued interest receivable. Changes in the fair value of the interest-only strips are recorded in Card Income. Their aggregate debt securities outstanding as of January 1, 2006, the date of acquisition, were $81.6 billion in credit card, $5.6 billion in other consumer, and $1.5 billion in commercial.

Table of Contents

Key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of certain interests that continue to be held by the Corporation (included in Other Assets) in credit card securitizations and the sensitivity of the current fair value of residual cash flows to changes in those assumptions are as follows:

     (21 )     —    

(1) Residual interests include interest-only strips, one or more subordinated tranches, accrued interest receivable, and in some cases, a cash reserve account.

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. The other consumer and commercial loan securitization vehicles acquired with MBNA were not material to the Corporation.

Principal proceeds from collections reinvested in revolving credit card securitizations were $40.2 billion and $79.3 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, and $1.2 billion and $3.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30 2005. Contractual credit card servicing fee income totaled $448 million and $888 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, and $29 million and $63 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. Other cash flows received on interests that continued to be held by the Corporation were $1.6 billion and $3.4 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, and $45 million and $120 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, for credit card securitizations.

The Corporation reviews its loans and leases portfolio on a managed basis. Managed loans and leases are defined as on-balance sheet Loans and Leases as well as those loans in revolving securitizations and other securitizations where servicing is retained that are undertaken for liquidity or other corporate purposes, which include credit card, home equity lines, commercial loans, auto and certain mortgage securitizations. Managed loans and leases excludes originate-to-distribute loans and other loans in securitizations where the Corporation has not retained servicing. New advances on accounts for which previous loan balances were sold to the securitization trusts will be recorded on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet after the revolving period of the securitization, which has the effect of increasing Loans and Leases on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and increasing Net Interest Income and charge-offs, with a corresponding reduction in Noninterest Income.

Variable Interest Entities

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the assets and liabilities of the Corporation’s multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduits that have been consolidated in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51” were reflected in Available-for-sale Securities, Other Assets, and Commercial Paper and Other Short-term Borrowings in Global Corporate and Investment Banking. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Corporation held $8.7 billion and $6.6 billion of assets in these entities, and in the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIEs become worthless, the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure associated with these entities including unfunded lending commitments would be approximately $10.6 billion and $8.3 billion. The Corporation also had contractual relationships with other consolidated VIEs that engage in leasing or lending activities or real estate joint ventures. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the amount of assets of these entities was $1.5 billion and $750 million, and in the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIEs become worthless, the Corporation’s maximum possible loss exposure would be $1.0 billion and $212 million.

Additionally, the Corporation had significant variable interests in other VIEs that it did not consolidate because it was not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. In such cases, the Corporation does not absorb the majority of the entities’ expected losses nor does it receive a majority of the entities’ expected residual returns. These entities typically support the financing needs of the Corporation’s customers by facilitating their access to the commercial paper markets. The Corporation functions as administrator and provides either liquidity and letters of credit, or derivatives to the VIE. The Corporation also provides asset management and related services to other special purpose vehicles that engage in lending, investing, or real estate activities. Total assets of these entities at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately $38.1 billion and $32.5 billion. Revenues associated with administration, liquidity, letters of credit and other services were approximately $44 million and $74 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, and $51 million and $101 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, in the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIEs become worthless, the Corporation’s maximum loss exposure associated with these VIEs would be approximately $30.8 billion and $26.7 billion, which is net of amounts syndicated.

Management does not believe losses resulting from its involvement with the entities discussed above will be material. See Notes 1 and 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s 2005 Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2006 for additional discussion of securitizations and special purpose financing entities.

NOTE 10 - 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, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit to meet the financing needs of its customers. For additional information on commitments to extend credit, see Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2006. The outstanding unfunded lending commitments shown in the following table have been reduced by amounts participated to other financial institutions of $31.8 billion and $30.4 billion at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The carrying amount for these commitments, which represents the liability recorded related to these instruments, at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $443 million and $458 million. At June 30, 2006, the carrying amount included deferred revenue of $48 million and a reserve for unfunded lending commitments of $395 million. At December 31, 2005, the carrying amount included deferred revenue of $63 million and a reserve for unfunded lending commitments of $395 million.

(1) At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, there were equity commitments of $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion, related to obligations to further fund Principal Investing equity investments.
(2) As part of the MBNA merger, on January 1, 2006, the Corporation acquired $588.4 billion of unused credit card lines.

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.

 

Other Commitments

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, charge cards (nonrevolving card lines) to individuals and government entities guaranteed by the U.S. government in the amount of $9.3 billion and $9.4 billion were not included in credit card line commitments in the previous table. The outstanding balances related to these charge cards were $280 million and $171 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

At June 30, 2006, the Corporation had whole mortgage loan purchase commitments of $974 million, all of which will settle in the third quarter of 2006. At December 31, 2005, the Corporation had whole mortgage loan purchase commitments of $4.0 billion, all of which settled in the first quarter of 2006.

The Corporation has entered into operating leases for certain of its premises and equipment. Commitments under these leases approximate $1.3 billion in 2006, $1.2 billion in 2007, $1.2 billion in 2008, $900 million in 2009, $750 million in 2010 and $5.0 billion for all years thereafter.

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. In 2005, the Corporation purchased $5.0 billion of such loans. For the six months ending June 30, 2006, the Corporation purchased $5.0 billion of such loans. Under the agreement, the Corporation is committed to purchase up to $5.0 billion of such loans for the period July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007 and up to $10 billion in each of the agreement’s next three fiscal years. As of June 30, 2006, the remaining commitment amount was $35.0 billion.

 

Other Guarantees

The Corporation provides credit and debit card processing services to various merchants, 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 four 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 June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Corporation processed $97.2 billion and $84.3 billion of transactions and recorded losses as a result of these chargebacks of $5 million and $3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Corporation processed $185.6 billion and $160.0 billion of transactions and recorded losses as a result of these chargebacks of $9 million and $6 million.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Corporation held as collateral approximately $376 million and $248 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 four months, which represents the claim period for the cardholder, plus any outstanding delayed-delivery transactions. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the maximum potential exposure totaled approximately $118.0 billion and $118.2 billion.

For additional information on other guarantees, see Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2006. For additional information on recourse obligations related to residential mortgage loans sold and other guarantees related to securitizations, see Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2006.

(BANA), wholly-owned subsidiaries of Bank of America Corporation (the Corporation), reached an agreement to settle the Adelphia class action securities litigation, In re Adelphia Communications Corporation Securities and Derivative Litigation, currently pending in the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Under the terms of the settlement, 39 financial institutions, including BAS and BANA, collectively will make a pre-tax payment of up to $250 million to the settlement class, which consists, with certain exceptions, of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired securities issued by Adelphia or Adelphia-related entities between August 16, 1999 through June 10, 2002. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on June 15, 2006 and scheduled a hearing on final approval for November 10, 2006.

Interchange Anti-Trust Litigation

In the In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Anti-Trust Litigation case, plaintiffs filed a supplemental complaint alleging as additional claims (i) federal antitrust claims arising out of MasterCard’s initial public offering and (ii) a fraudulent conveyance claim under New York Debtor and Creditor Law. Plaintiffs seek unspecified treble damages and injunctive relief.

Mutual Fund Operations Matters

On April 4, 2006, the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, including pre-merger FleetBoston subsidiaries, entered into an agreement in principle to resolve the class and derivative actions concerning mutual fund trading in the Columbia mutual funds. The agreement in principle, which is subject to court approval, provides that the Corporation will pay $9.6 million in settlement consideration.

With respect to the case that was originally filed in a state court in Illinois, on June 15, 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit did not have appellate jurisdiction to review the order remanding the case to state court. This case is part of the settlement concerning trading in the Columbia mutual funds.

Parmalat Finanziaria S.p.A.

On April 10, 2006, certain purchasers of Parmalat-related private placements of securities filed first amended complaints against the Corporation and various related entities in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, entitled Prudential Insurance Company of America and Hartford Life Insurance v. Bank of America Corporation, et al. and Allstate Life Insurance Company Bank of America Corporation, et al. (collectively, the Illinois Actions). The Illinois Actions allege violations of Illinois state securities law and various state law claims, and seek rescission and unspecified damages based upon the Corporation’s and related entities’ alleged roles in certain private placements of securities issued by Parmalat-related companies. On June 13, 2006, the

Illinois Actions were transferred and consolidated for pretrial purposes with the In re Parmalat Securities Litigation matter pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

On May 18, 2006, Hartford Life Insurance Company, a purchaser of Parmalat-related private placements of securities filed a complaint against the Corporation and various related entities in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled Hartford Life Insurance v. Bank of America Corporation, et al. (the Hartford Action). The Hartford Action alleges violations of federal and Connecticut state securities law and various other state law claims, and seeks rescission and unspecified damages based upon the Corporation’s and related entities’ alleged roles in certain private placements of securities issued by Parmalat-related companies. On May 23, 2006 the Hartford Action was transferred and consolidated for pretrial purposes with the In Re Parmalat Securities Litigation matter.

On April 21, 2006, the Plan Administrator of the Plan of Liquidation of Parmalat-USA Corporation filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, as well as other financial institutions and accounting firms entitled G. Peter Pappas in his capacity as the Plan Administrator of the Plan of Liquidation of Parmalat-USA Corporation v. Bank of America Corporation, et al. (the Parmalat USA Action). The Parmalat USA Action asserts claims of aiding and abetting, breach of fiduciary duty, civil conspiracy and related claims against the Bank of America defendants and other defendants. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages.

Pension Plan Matters

In William L. Pender, et al. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., on May 3, 2006, the court vacated the scheduled September 2006 trial date, to be rescheduled after the court has ruled on defendants’ motion to dismiss or plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.

In Donna C. Richards v. FleetBoston Financial Pension Plan, et al., on May 8, 2006, defendants moved to dismiss plaintiff’s amended claims alleging violation of ERISA’s “anti-backloading” rule and breach of fiduciary duty. That motion is pending.

Refco

Most of the putative class actions relating to Refco Inc. have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. BAS and certain other underwriter defendants have moved to dismiss the claims in the consolidated class actions alleging violations of the federal securities laws relating to the Refco senior subordinated notes offering in August 2004. The derivative lawsuits relating to Refco have been dismissed with prejudice for failure to prosecute.

(1) Reduced Shareholders’ Equity by $8.1 billion and increased diluted earnings per common share by $0.03 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. These repurchases were partially offset by the issuance of approximately 68.6 million shares of common stock under employee plans, which increased Shareholders’ Equity by $2.6 billion, net of $245 million of deferred compensation related to restricted stock awards, and decreased diluted earnings per common share by $0.01 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
(2) On January 28, 2004, our Board of Directors (the Board) authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 180 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock at an aggregate cost not to exceed $9.0 billion. This repurchase plan was completed during the second quarter of 2005. On March 22, 2005, 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 18 months. This repurchase plan was completed during the second quarter of 2006. On April 26, 2006, the Board authorized an additional 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 18 months.
(3) Reduced Shareholders’ Equity by $3.8 billion and increased diluted earnings per common share by $0.02 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. These repurchases were partially offset by the issuance of approximately 53.7 million shares of common stock under employee plans, which increased Shareholders’ Equity by $1.8 billion, net of $292 million of deferred compensation related to restricted stock awards, and decreased diluted earnings per common share by $0.01 for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

The Corporation will continue to 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 at least equal to any shares issued under the Corporation’s employee stock plans.

On July 26, 2006, the Board increased the regular quarterly cash dividend on common stock from $0.50 to $0.56 per share, payable on September 22, 2006 to common shareholders of record on September 1, 2006. In April 2006, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per common share which was paid on June 23, 2006 to common shareholders of record on June 2, 2006.

NOTE 12 – 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 provided in Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2006.

As a result of the MBNA merger, the Corporation assumed the obligations related to the plans of former MBNA. The MBNA Pension Plan retirement benefits are based on the number of years of benefit service and a percentage of the participant’s average annual compensation during the five highest paid consecutive years of their last 10 years of employment. The MBNA Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) provides certain officers with supplemental retirement benefits in excess of limits imposed on qualified plans by federal tax law. The MBNA Postretirement Health and Life Plan provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for a closed group upon early retirement.

Net periodic benefit cost of the Corporation’s plans including the MBNA plans, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 included the following components:

NOTE 13 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Corporation accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under SFAS 123. On January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted SFAS 123R under the modified-prospective application. Under the modified-prospective-application, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after adoption.

The compensation cost recognized in income for the plans described below was $204 million and $211 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The related income tax benefit recognized in income was $75 million and $78 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The compensation cost recognized in income for the plans described below was $683 million and $403 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The related income tax benefit recognized in income was $253 million and $145 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, awards granted to retirement-eligible employees were expensed over the stated vesting period. SFAS 123R requires that the Corporation recognize stock compensation cost immediately for any awards granted to retirement-eligible employees, or over the vesting period or the period from the grant date to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, whichever is shorter. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Corporation recognized $320 million in equity-based compensation due to awards being granted to retirement-eligible employees.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Corporation presented tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits due to tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. The Corporation recognized $203 million in excess tax benefits that were classified as a financing cash inflow for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Corporation estimated the fair value of stock options granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. On January 1, 2006, the Corporation began using a lattice option-pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock options granted. The table below presents the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted on the date of grant using the lattice option-pricing model for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Lattice option-pricing models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs and those ranges are disclosed in the table below. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded stock options on the Corporation’s common stock, historical volatility of the Corporation’s common stock, and other factors. The Corporation uses historical data to estimate stock option exercise and employee termination within the model. The expected term of stock options granted is derived from the output of the model and represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The table below also includes the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The estimates of fair value from these models are theoretical values for stock options and changes in the assumptions used in the models could result in materially different fair value estimates. The actual value of the stock options will depend on the market value of the Corporation’s common stock when the stock options are exercised.

Table of Contents
Key Employee Stock Plan

The Key Employee Stock Plan, as amended and restated, provided for different types of awards. These include stock options, restricted stock shares and restricted stock units. Under the plan, ten-year options to purchase approximately 260 million shares of common stock were granted through December 31, 2002, to certain employees at the closing market price on the respective grant dates. Options granted under the plan generally vest in three or four equal annual installments. At June 30, 2006, approximately 80 million options were outstanding under this plan. No further awards may be granted.

 

Key Associate Stock Plan

On April 24, 2002, the shareholders approved the Key Associate Stock Plan to be effective January 1, 2003. This approval authorized and reserved 200 million shares for grant in addition to the remaining amount under the Key Employee Stock Plan as of December 31, 2002, which was approximately 34 million shares plus any shares covered by awards under the Key Employee Stock Plan that terminate, expire, lapse or are cancelled after December 31, 2002. Upon the FleetBoston merger, the shareholders authorized an additional 102 million shares and on April 26, 2006, the shareholders authorized an additional 180 million shares for grant under the Key Associate Stock Plan. At June 30, 2006, approximately 148 million options were outstanding under this plan. Approximately 18 million shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006. These shares of restricted stock generally vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the grant date. The Corporation incurred restricted stock expense of $146 million and $537 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $128 million and $242 million during the same periods in 2005.

MBNA Merger Overview

The Corporation acquired 100 percent of the outstanding stock of MBNA on January 1, 2006, for $34.6 billion. In connection therewith 1,260 million shares of MBNA common stock were exchanged for 631 million shares of the Corporation’s common stock. Prior to the MBNA merger, this represented approximately 16 percent of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock. MBNA shareholders also received cash of $5.2 billion. The MBNA merger was a tax-free merger for the Corporation. The acquisition expands the Corporation’s customer base and its opportunity to deepen customer relationships across the full breadth of the Corporation by delivering innovative deposit, lending and investment products and services to MBNA’s customer base. Additionally, the acquisition allows the Corporation to significantly increase its affinity relationships through MBNA’s credit card operations and sell these credit cards through our delivery channels (including the retail branch network). MBNA’s results of operations were included in the Corporation’s results beginning January 1, 2006. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the MBNA merger date. For more information related to the MBNA merger, see Note 2 of the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Global Consumer and Small Business Banking

Net Income increased $1.6 billion to $3.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Driving the increase was the impact of MBNA and organic growth, which contributed to increases in Card Income and Net Interest Income. Also, Net Income benefited from a decrease to the Provision for Credit Losses, primarily due to decreased credit-related costs on the credit card portfolio. Partially offsetting these changes was higher Noninterest Expense primarily driven by the acquisition of MBNA.

Net Income increased $2.4 billion, or 69 percent, to $5.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. In addition to the impact of the MBNA merger and organic growth, this period was impacted by higher Services Charges which was partially offset by higher Provision for Credit Losses. For more information on Global Consumer and Small Business Banking, see page 53.

Table of Contents
Global Corporate and Investment Banking

Net Income remained flat at $1.7 billion and decreased $254 million to $3.3 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Revenue increased by 16 percent and nine percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, driven mainly by market-based activity in Capital Markets and Advisory Services and Net Interest Income growth in Treasury Services. Offsetting this growth was spread compression and a flattening yield curve resulting in lower contribution from Business Lending, lower Asset Liability Management (ALM) allocation, higher Noninterest Expense and an increase in Provision for Credit Losses. For more information on Global Corporate and Investment Banking, see page 62.

 

Global Wealth and Investment Management

Net Income increased $78 million, or 14 percent, to $634 million and $109 million, or 10 percent, to $1.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was due to an increase in asset management fees, brokerage income, higher Net Interest Income, and a credit loss recovery. Partially offsetting these increases was higher Personnel Expense.

Total assets under management increased $17.7 billion to $500.1 billion at June 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005. For more information on Global Wealth and Investment Management, see page 69.

 

All Other

Net Income decreased $842 million to $20 million and $803 million to $139 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily a result of decreases in other income as 2005 included the benefit of mark-to-market gains that did not qualify for SFAS 133 hedge accounting treatment for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and lower Gains (Losses) on Sales of Debt Securities. For more information on All Other, see page 74.

 

Financial Highlights

 

Net Interest Income

Net Interest Income on a FTE basis increased $1.1 billion to $8.9 billion and $2.4 billion to $18.0 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. The primary drivers of the increase were the impact of the MBNA merger, organic loan growth, and increases in ALM activities including increased portfolio balances, wholesale funding activity, and the impact of rates. These increases were partially offset by lower core deposit levels, excluding the impact of MBNA. The net interest yield on a FTE basis increased 5 basis points (bps) to 2.85 percent and 3 bps to 2.91 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. For more information on Net Interest Income on a FTE basis, see Tables 8 and 9 on pages 48 to 50.

Noninterest Income increased $2.6 billion to $9.6 billion and $5.5 billion to $18.5 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005, due primarily to the following:

 

    Service Charges grew $157 million and $281 million due to increased non-sufficient funds fees and overdraft charges resulting from new account growth.

 

    Investment and Brokerage Services increased $97 million and $187 million due to an increase in asset management fees as record levels of assets under management were achieved during the quarter and an increase in brokerage income.

 

    Mortgage Banking Income decreased $100 million and $184 million driven primarily by a strategic shift to retain a larger portion of mortgage production.

 

    Investment Banking Income increased $181 million and $316 million due to increased market activity and continued leadership in leveraged debt underwriting.

 

    Equity Investment Gains increased $154 million and $415 million driven by favorable market conditions and increased liquidity in the capital markets.

 

    Card Income increased $2.2 billion and $4.4 billion as a result of the addition of MBNA and higher debit card income.

 

    Trading Account Profits increased $693 million and $1.1 billion due to increased capital markets activity and previous investments in personnel and trading infrastructure coming to fruition.

 

    Other Income decreased $764 million and $938 million primarily related to decreases resulting from the ALM process, including the change in value of derivatives used as economic hedges and the sale of whole mortgage loans during 2005.

 

Provision for Credit Losses

The Provision for Credit Losses increased $130 million to $1.0 billion and $820 million to $2.3 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. Provision expense rose due to the addition of MBNA and the absence of prior year releases of commercial credit reserves. These increases were partially offset by decreased credit-related costs on the credit card portfolio.

For more information on credit quality, see Credit Risk Management beginning on page 80.

 

Gains (Losses) on Sales of Debt Securities

Gains (Losses) on Sales of Debt Securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $(9) million and $5 million compared to $325 million and $984 million for the same periods in 2005. For more information on Gains (Losses) on Sales of Debt Securities, see Market Risk Management beginning on page 100.

Noninterest Expense increased $1.7 billion to $8.7 billion and $3.6 billion to $17.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005, due to the acquisition of MBNA as well as the following:

 

  Personnel expense increased $809 million and $1.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 due to higher revenue-related incentive compensation expense. Additionally, $320 million of incremental stock-based compensation granted to retirement-eligible employees increased Personnel expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

 

  Marketing expense increased $205 million and $443 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 due to higher marketing spending related to consumer banking initiatives.

 

  Amortization expense increased $237 million and $469 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as the above mentioned MBNA merger increased purchased credit card relationships, affinity relationships, core deposit intangibles and other intangibles.

 

Income Tax Expense

Income Tax Expense was $3.0 billion, reflecting an effective tax rate of 35.6 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $2.4 billion and 33.7 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Income Tax Expense was $5.5 billion, reflecting an effective tax rate of 34.6 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $4.5 billion and 33.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in the effective tax rate for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily resulted from the change in tax legislation discussed below and from the January 1, 2006 addition of MBNA.

During the second quarter of 2006, the President signed into law the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 (“TIPRA”). Among other things, TIPRA repealed certain provisions of prior law relating to transactions entered into under the extraterritorial income and foreign sales corporation regimes. The TIPRA repeal results in an increase in the U.S. taxes expected to be paid on certain of the income earned from such transactions after December 31, 2006. 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.
