See accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Bank of America Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Bank of America Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Corporation) through its banking and nonbanking subsidiaries, provide a diverse range of financial services and products throughout the U.S. and in selected international markets. At September 30, 2006, the Corporation operated its banking activities primarily under three charters: Bank of America, National Association (Bank of America, N.A.), Bank of America, N.A. (USA), and FIA Card Services, N.A. Effective June 10, 2006, MBNA America Bank N.A. was renamed FIA Card Services, N.A.

On January 1, 2006, the Corporation acquired 100 percent of the outstanding stock of MBNA Corporation (MBNA). The MBNA merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Consequently, MBNA’s results of operations were included in the Corporation’s results beginning as of January 1, 2006.

NOTE 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

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

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

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.

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

On September 1, 2006, the Corporation completed the sale of its Brazilian operations for approximately $1.9 billion in equity of Banco Itau Holding Financeira S.A., Brazil’s second largest nongovernment-owned banking company. The sale resulted in a $720 million gain (pre-tax) that was recorded in Other Income.

Recently Issued or Proposed Accounting Pronouncements

On September 29, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”, (SFAS 158) which requires the recognition of a plan’s over-funded or under-funded status as an asset or liability with an offsetting adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (OCI). SFAS 158 requires the determination of the fair values of a plan’s assets at a company’s year-end and recognition of actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations as a component of Accumulated OCI. This statement is effective as of December 31, 2006. If the provisions of SFAS 158 had been applied as of December 31, 2005, Shareholders’ Equity would have been reduced by approximately $3 billion before tax and approximately $2 billion after tax. Additionally, the initial adoption of SFAS 158 may impact the Corporation’s regulatory capital. 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 September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 retains the exchange price notion and clarifies that the exchange price is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for the Corporation’s financial statements for the year beginning on January 1, 2008, with earlier adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effect of SFAS 157 on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

On September 13, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 expresses the SEC Staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 states that in evaluating the materiality of financial statement misstatements a corporation must quantify the impact of correcting misstatements, including both the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements. SAB 108 is effective for the year ended December 31, 2006. Under certain circumstances, prior year financial statements will not have to be restated and the effects of initially applying SAB 108 on prior years will be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning Retained Earnings on January 1, 2006, with disclosure of the items included in the cumulative effect. Management is currently evaluating the effect of SAB 108 on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

On July 13, 2006, the 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 merger with FleetBoston Financial Corporation (FleetBoston) 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’s financial condition and results of operations.

On March 17, 2006, the FASB issued 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 financial condition and results of operations. 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. The adoption of SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

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.

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 in the following table. This allocation is based on management’s current estimation and could change as the fair value calculations are finalized and more information becomes available.

⁽¹⁾	Thevalue of the shares of common stock exchanged with MBNA shareholders was based upon the average of the closing prices of the Corporation’s common stock for the period commencing two trading days before, and ending two trading days after, June 30, 2005, the date of the MBNA merger announcement.

⁽²⁾

Includespurchased credit card relationships of $5,698 million, affinity relationships of $1,641 million, core deposit intangibles of $214 million, and other intangibles of $304 million. The amortization life for core deposit intangibles is 10 years, and purchased credit card relationships and affinity relationships are 15 years. These intangibles are primarily amortized on an accelerated basis.

⁽³⁾	NoGoodwill 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 as of the merger date. 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 September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance of such loans was approximately $129 million.

Merger and Restructuring Charges

Merger and Restructuring Charges are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income, and include incremental costs to integrate the operations of the Corporation and MBNA. These charges represent costs associated with these one-time activities and do not represent ongoing costs of the fully integrated combined organization. The following table presents severance and employee-related charges, systems integrations and related charges, and other merger-related charges. For a discussion of the prior year Merger and Restructuring Charges related to FleetBoston, see Note 2 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.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Corporation revised certain of its initial estimates due to lower severance costs and updated integration plans including site consolidations that resulted in the reductions of exit cost reserves of $69 million and $169 million respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, $56 million and $156 million of the reductions in reserves were related to severance, relocation and other employee related expenses. The remaining reduction of $13 million related to contract termination estimates, all of which was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2006. Cash payments of $41 million and $108 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, included $39 million and $76 million of severance, relocation and other employee-related costs, and $2 million and $32 million of contract terminations. The impact of these items reduced the balance in the liability from $301 million at June 30, 2006 to $191 million at September 30, 2006.

Restructuring reserves were established for legacy Bank of America associate severance, other employee-related expenses, and contract terminations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, $38 million and $71 million was recorded to the restructuring reserves related to associate severance and other employee-related expenses, and another $21 million and $62 million for contract terminations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash payments of $7 million and $11 million for severance and other employee-related costs have reduced this liability. The net impact of these items increased the balance from $70 million at June 30, 2006 to $122 million at September 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 three and nine months ended September 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 in 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 September 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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the cash collateral applied against Derivative Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was $7.8 billion and $9.3 billion. In addition, at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the cash collateral placed against Derivative Liabilities was $6.4 billion and $7.6 billion.

The average fair value of Derivative Assets for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $23.7 billion and $25.2 billion. The average fair value of Derivative Liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $15.9 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 $752 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.

The following table summarizes certain information related to the Corporation’s derivative hedges accounted for under SFAS 133 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

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 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.

The following table presents activity for consumer-related MSRs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

⁽²⁾	Forthe three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, includes $325 million and $121 million related to change in value attributed to SFAS 133 hedged MSRs, and $15 million and $29 million of impairments.

⁽³⁾	Netof impairment allowance of $273 million at September 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 $159 million and $148 million at September 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. The aggregate debt securities outstanding for the MBNA credit card securitization trusts as of September 30, 2006 and January 1, 2006, were $92.2 billion and $81.6 billion. As of September 30, 2006 and January 1, 2006, the aggregate debt securities outstanding for the Corporation’s credit card securitization trusts, including MBNA, were $93.0 billion and $83.8 billion.

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:


(Dollars in millions)	September 30 2006			December 31 2005

⁽¹⁾	Residualinterests 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 $41.6 billion and $120.8 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, and $747 million and $4.0 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Contractual credit card servicing fee income totaled $472 million and $1.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, and $21 million and $84 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Other cash flows received on interests that continued to be held by the Corporation were $1.7 billion and $5.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, and $43 million and $163 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, for credit card securitizations.

The Corporation also 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 exclude 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 related reduction in Noninterest Income.

Portfolio balances, delinquency and historical loss amounts of the managed loans and leases portfolio as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Variable Interest Entities

At September 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 (AFS) Securities, Other Assets, and Commercial Paper and Other Short-term Borrowings in Global Corporate and Investment Banking. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Corporation held $9 billion and $7 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 $11 billion and $8 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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the amount of assets of these entities was $2 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 $2 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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately $38 billion and $33 billion. Revenues associated with administration, liquidity, letters of credit and other services were approximately $37 million and $104 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, and $30 million and $94 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. At September 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 $32 billion and $27 billion, which is net of amounts syndicated.

Management does not believe losses resulting from the Corporation’s 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 $30.2 billion and $30.4 billion at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The carrying amount for these commitments, which represents the liability recorded related to these instruments, at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $435 million and $458 million. At September 30, 2006, the carrying amount included deferred revenue of $47 million and a reserve for unfunded lending commitments of $388 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⁾	Includedat September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, were equity commitments of $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion, related to obligations to further fund Principal Investing equity investments.

⁽²⁾	Aspart 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 September 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 $9.6 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 $255 million and $171 million at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

At September 30, 2006, the Corporation did not have any whole mortgage loan purchase commitments. 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 $1.1 billion in 2006, $1.2 billion in 2007, $1.1 billion in 2008, $1.0 billion in 2009, $900 million in 2010 and $6.4 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. For the nine months ending September 30, 2006, the Corporation purchased $5.0 billion of such loans. In 2005, 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 $10.0 billion in each of the agreement’s following three fiscal years. As of September 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 September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Corporation processed $97.0 billion and $91.3 billion of transactions and recorded losses as a result of these chargebacks of $4 million and $3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Corporation processed $282.6 billion and $251.3 billion of transactions and recorded losses as a result of these chargebacks of $13 million and $9 million.

At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Corporation held as collateral approximately $91 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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the maximum potential exposure totaled approximately $118.6 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.

These repurchases were partially offset by the issuance of approximately 61 million shares of common stock under employee plans, which increased Shareholders’ Equity by $2.4 billion, net of $211 million of deferred compensation related to restricted stock awards, and decreased diluted earnings per common share by $0.03 for the nine months ended September 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 October 25, 2006, the Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.56 per share, payable on December 22, 2006 to common shareholders of record on December 1, 2006. In July 2006, the Board increased the quarterly cash dividend on common stock from $0.50 to $0.56 which was paid on September 22, 2006 to common shareholders of record on September 1, 2006.

In September 2006, the Corporation authorized 34,500 shares and issued 33,000 shares, or $825 million, of Bank of America Corporation 6.204% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series D (Series D Preferred Stock) with a par value of $0.01 per share. Ownership is held in the form of depositary shares, each representing a 1/1,000 interest in a share of Series D Preferred Stock, paying a quarterly cash dividend on the liquidation preference of $25,000 per share of Series D Preferred

Stock at an annual rate of 6.204 percent. On any dividend date on or after September 14, 2011, the Corporation may redeem Series D Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at its option, at $25,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Series D Preferred Stock shares are not subject to the operation of a sinking fund, have no participation rights and are not convertible. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock have no general voting rights. If any quarterly dividend payable on the Series D Preferred Stock is in arrears for six or more quarterly dividend periods (whether consecutive or not), the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and any other class or series of preferred stock ranking equally with the Series D Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and upon which equivalent voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (voting as a single class) will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors. These voting rights terminate when the Corporation has paid in full dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock for at least four quarterly dividend periods following the dividend arrearage.

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 the 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 included the following components:

Includesthe results of the former MBNA. The net periodic benefit cost of the former MBNA Pension Plan, SERP, and Postretirement Health and Life Plan were $13 million, $6 million and $4 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The net periodic benefit cost of the former MBNA Pension Plan, SERP, and Postretirement Health and Life Plan were $38 million, $19 million and $12 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

During 2006, the Corporation expects to contribute $97 million and $37 million to the Corporation’s Nonqualified Pension Plans and Postretirement Health and Life Plans, respectively. At September 30, 2006, the Corporation had contributed $62 million and $28 million, respectively, to these plans. During 2006, the Corporation expects to contribute $242 million and $21 million to the former MBNA SERP and Postretirement Health and Life Plan, respectively. At September 30, 2006, the Corporation had contributed $232 million and $18 million, respectively, to these plans. The Corporation is currently evaluating the contribution amounts related to the Corporation’s Qualified Pension Plans and the former MBNA Pension Plan. The Corporation may choose to contribute more than the required minimum amounts due to the increase in funding limits within the Pension Protection Act of 2006, and in conjunction with an annual review of its funding thresholds.

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 $180 million and $205 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The related income tax benefit recognized in income was $67 million and $76 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The compensation cost recognized in income for the plans described below was $862 million and $608 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The related income tax benefit recognized in income was $319 million and $221 million for the nine months ended September 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. During the first quarter of 2006, the Corporation recognized approximately $320 million in equity-based compensation associated with awards 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 $342 million in excess tax benefits that were classified as a financing cash inflow for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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.


	Nine Months Ended September 30
	2006		2005
Risk-free interest rate	4.59 – 4.70	%	3.94	%
Dividend yield	4.50		4.60

The Corporation has certain equity compensation plans that were approved by its shareholders. These plans are the Key Employee Stock Plan and the Key Associate Stock Plan. Descriptions of the material features of these plans follow.

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 September 30, 2006, approximately 71 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 September 30, 2006, approximately 140 million options were outstanding under this plan. Approximately 18 million shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units were granted during the nine months ended September 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 $126 million and $663 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $127 million and $369 million during the same periods in 2005.

MBNA Merger Overview

The Corporation acquired 100 percent of the outstanding stock of MBNA Corporation (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 $1.0 billion, or 57 percent, to $2.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Total Revenue increased $3.2 billion, or 44 percent, to $10.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Driving the increase was the impact of the MBNA merger, which contributed to increases in Card Income and Net Interest Income. Also impacting Net Income was organic growth in Loans and Leases. Partially offsetting these changes was higher Noninterest Expense primarily driven by the acquisition of MBNA.

Net Income increased $3.4 billion, or 64 percent, to $8.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Total Revenue increased $10.0 billion, or 48 percent, to $31.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Driving the increase was the impact of the MBNA merger and organic growth which was partially offset by higher Noninterest Expense and Provision for Credit Losses. For more information on Global Consumer and Small Business Banking, see page 52.

Global Corporate and Investment Banking

Net Income increased $371 million, or 24 percent, to $1.9 billion and $113 million, or two percent, to $5.2 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Total Revenue increased $726 million, or 14 percent, to $6.0 billion and $1.6 billion, or 10 percent, to $17.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, driven primarily by the $720 million gain (pre-tax) on the sale of our Brazilian operations. Also impacting the increase in Total Revenue was higher Trading Account Profits of $140 million and $1.1 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Offsetting these increases were spread compression in the loan portfolios and lower Asset Liability Management (ALM) allocation which adversely impacted Net Interest Income. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was impacted by increases in Provision for Credit Losses and Noninterest Expense. For more information on Global Corporate and Investment Banking, see page 61.

Global Wealth and Investment Management

Net Income decreased $15 million, or three percent, to $553 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was due to higher Noninterest Expense resulting from higher personnel and incentive based compensation primarily reflecting growth in Global Wealth and Investment Management workforce. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in Total Revenue of $49 million, or three percent, due primarily to an increase in Investment and Brokerage Services.

Net Income increased $94 million, or six percent, to $1.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was due to higher Total Revenue of $370 million, or seven percent, as a result of increases in Investment and Brokerage Services and Net Interest Income. Also impacting the increase in Net Income was a credit loss recovery. Partially offsetting these increases was higher Noninterest Expense of $212 million or eight percent due primarily to higher personnel related costs.

Total assets under management increased $34.7 billion to $517.1 billion at September 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005. For more information on Global Wealth and Investment Management, see page 67.

All Other

Net Income increased $172 million to $52 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Total Revenue increased $660 million driven primarily by an increase in other income of $557 million. Offsetting this increase were Gains (Losses) on Sales of Debt Securities of $(483) million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $13 million for the same period in 2005.

Net Income decreased $607 million to $211 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily a result of lower Gains (Losses) on Sales of Debt Securities which were $(497) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $847 million for the same period in 2005. For more information on All Other, see page 71.

Financial Highlights

Net Interest Income

Net Interest Income on a FTE basis increased $961 million to $8.9 billion and $3.4 billion to $26.9 billion for the three and nine months ended September 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 decreased 5 basis points (bps) to 2.73 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and was flat at 2.85 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Loan spreads continued to tighten due to the flat yield curve and heightened competition. Deposits spreads widened slightly as we effectively managed pricing in a rising interest rate environment. The current year results were also positively impacted by wider margins associated with the MBNA credit card portfolios. For more information on Net Interest Income on a FTE basis, see Tables 8 and 9 on pages 47 to 49.

Total noninterest income	$	10,067	$	6,416		$	28,566	$	19,403

Noninterest Income increased $3.7 billion to $10.1 billion and $9.2 billion to $28.6 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005, due primarily to the following:

•

Service Charges grew $67 million and $348 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 due to increased non-sufficient funds fees and overdraft charges, account service charges, and ATM fees resulting from new account growth.

•

Investment and Brokerage Services increased $25 million and $212 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily reflecting record levels of assets under management.

•

Mortgage Banking Income was relatively flat and decreased $175 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was driven primarily by weaker production income driven by lower volumes sold and margin compression in addition to a strategic shift to retain a larger portion of mortgage production.

•

Investment Banking Income was relatively flat and increased $304 million for the three and nine months September 30, 2006. The increase for the nine months was due to higher market activity and continued leadership in the leveraged debt underwriting market.

•

Equity Investment Gains was relatively flat and increased $431 million for the three and nine months September 30, 2006. The increase for the nine months was driven by favorable market conditions and increased liquidity in the capital markets.

•

Card Income increased $2.0 billion and $6.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily due to the addition of MBNA and higher debit card income.

•

Trading Account Profits increased $174 million and $1.2 billion for the three and nine months September 30, 2006 due to increased capital markets activity, and previous investments in personnel and trading infrastructure coming to fruition.

•

Other Income increased $1.4 billion and $481 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily related to the $720 million (pre-tax) gain on the sale of our Brazilian operations. Also impacting the third quarter comparison, was the negative impact to 2005 of the change in the value of derivatives of $(418) million used as economic hedges that did not qualify for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended” (SFAS 133) hedge accounting treatment.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Provision for Credit Losses was relatively flat at $1.2 billion and increased $826 million to $3.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. Provision expense rose due to increases from the addition of MBNA and the absence of prior year releases of commercial credit reserves. These increases were partially offset by reduced credit-related costs on the domestic credit card portfolio.

For more information on credit quality, see Credit Risk Management beginning on page 77.

Gains (Losses) on Sales of Debt Securities

Gains (Losses) on Sales of Debt Securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $(469) million and $(464) million compared to $29 million and $1.0 billion for the same periods in 2005. These decreases were primarily due to a loss on the sale of mortgage-backed securities during the quarter. The decrease for the nine month period was also impacted by gains recorded on the sales of mortgage-backed securities in 2005. For more information on Gains (Losses) on Sales of Debt Securities, see “Interest Rate Risk Management – Securities” beginning on page 99.
