OTHER BUSINESS EVENTS
Investment in SLM Corporation
On April 16, 2007, an investor group, comprised of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and three other firms (the “investor group”), announced an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”) to acquire SLM Corporation (“Sallie Mae”) for $60 per share in cash. On September 26, 2007, the investor group advised Sallie Mae that if the conditions to the closing of the merger agreement were required to be measured at that time, the conditions to closing would not be satisfied because Sallie Mae had suffered a Material Adverse Effect as defined in the merger agreement. On October 2, 2007, the investor group advised Sallie Mae that it would be willing to revise its offer, and proposed a revised purchase price for Sallie Mae, composed of $50 in cash and warrants with a payout of up to an additional $10 per share. That offer was rejected by Sallie Mae and, on October 8, 2007, Sallie Mae filed a lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court against the investor group. The lawsuit seeks a declaration that, among other things, the investor group repudiated the merger agreement, that no Material Adverse Effect has occurred and that Sallie Mae may terminate the Agreement and collect a $900 million termination fee (the “reverse termination fee”), of which JPMorgan Chase’s portion would be approximately $224 million. On October 15, 2007, the investor group filed an Answer and Counterclaims to Sallie Mae’s lawsuit. In addition, the investor group has waived Sallie Mae’s obligations to comply with certain of its agreements and covenants under the merger agreement, including Sallie Mae’s agreements to refrain from negotiating with other possible buyers, and has waived its right to receive the reverse termination fee from Sallie Mae in the event that another buyer acquires Sallie Mae. A trial date has not yet been set.
Headquarters for the Investment Bank in London and New York
On May 3, 2007, JPMorgan Chase announced plans to build a new investment banking headquarters in London. The building will have more than one million square feet with at least five trading floors of approximately 70,000 useable square feet each. The Firm is expecting the building to open late 2012. On June 14, 2007, JPMorgan Chase announced it will build a new 1.3 million square-foot global investment banking headquarters in the World Trade Center complex in New York City. The Firm expects the building to open by late 2012.
Master Liquidity Enhancement Conduit
On October 15, 2007, JPMorgan Chase and several other financial institutions announced an agreement in principle to create a “master liquidity enhancement conduit” (“M-LEC”) and provide liquidity support for it in order to enhance liquidity in the market for asset-backed commercial paper and medium-term notes issued by structured investment vehicles. The financial institutions are working toward the finalization of the various terms.

Net income for the first nine months of 2007 was $12.4 billion, or $3.52 per share, compared with $9.9 billion, or $2.78 per share, in the prior year. Return on common equity was 14% for the first nine months of 2007, compared with 12% for the prior-year period.
In the first quarter of 2007, the Firm adopted SFAS 157 (“Fair Value Measurements”) and SFAS 159 (“Fair Value Option”). For a discussion of SFAS 157 and SFAS 159, see Note 3 on pages 73–80 and Note 4 on pages 80–83 of this Form 10-Q.
The rate of growth in the global economy slowed in the third quarter, but still expanded by approximately 4% annually, while inflation broadly remained well-contained. The industrial economies continued to grow by approximately 2% annually (with the U.S. economy growing at 3.9%). The developing economies continued to grow, although at a slightly slower rate than their recent level of 8% annual growth. Global financial markets were mixed during the quarter, and capital markets activity declined from the historically high levels of the first six months of 2007, as concerns about losses on U.S. subprime mortgage investments triggered a flight to quality in the capital markets and credit markets experienced spread widening and lower levels of liquidity. In spite of these challenges, both U.S. and international equity markets posted gains during the quarter: the S&P 500 and international indices were up, on average, approximately 1% and 5%, respectively. The U.S. Treasury market rallied, with rates dropping approximately 100 basis points during the quarter. In September of 2007, the Federal Reserve Board lowered the federal funds rate from 5.25% to 4.75% in an effort to help offset the adverse effects of the market disruption.
The Firm’s performance benefited from investments in all of its businesses, which has driven organic revenue growth and improved operating margins over time. These benefits were tempered by the capital markets environment, which experienced significantly wider spreads and reduced levels of liquidity in the mortgage and corporate credit markets, resulting in lower earnings in the Investment Bank. In addition, continued weakness in the housing markets led to an increased Provision for credit losses and, as a result, lower earnings in Retail Financial Services. The Firm’s other businesses each posted improved results versus the prior year with Asset Management and Treasury & Securities Services reporting record earnings; Card Services and Commercial Banking growing earnings at a double-digit pace; and Private Equity realizing strong results.
The discussion that follows highlights the current-quarter performance of each business segment compared with the prior-year quarter and discusses results on a managed basis unless otherwise noted. For more information about managed basis, see Explanation and reconciliation of the Firm’s use of non-GAAP financial measures on pages 13–16 of this Form 10-Q .
Investment Bank net income decreased from the prior year, driven by lower net revenue as well as a higher Provision for credit losses, partially offset by lower noninterest expense. Investment banking fees decreased, reflecting lower debt underwriting fees offset partially by record advisory fees. Fixed Income Markets revenue declined due to markdowns on leveraged lending funded loans and unfunded commitments and markdowns on collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”)

warehouses and unsold positions. In addition, Fixed Income Markets declined due to weak credit-trading performance and significantly lower commodities results, compared with a strong prior-year quarter. These lower results in Fixed Income Markets were offset partially by record revenue in both rates and currencies. Equity Markets revenue decreased from the prior year, as weaker trading results were offset partially by strong client revenue across businesses. The Provision for credit losses was up, driven by an increase in the allowance for credit losses, primarily related to portfolio growth. The decrease in noninterest expense was due primarily to lower performance-based compensation expense.
Retail Financial Services net income decreased from the prior year due to lower results in Regional Banking, primarily related to an increase in the Provision for credit losses. Total net revenue increased due primarily to the absence of a prior-year negative valuation adjustment to the mortgage servicing right (“MSR”) asset, the Bank of New York transaction and higher deposit-related fees. Total net revenue also benefited from the classification of certain mortgage loan origination costs as expense, due to the adoption of SFAS 159, and wider spreads on loans. These benefits were offset partially by markdowns on the mortgage warehouse and pipeline and a continued shift to narrower–spread deposit products. The increase in the Provision for credit losses was due primarily to an increase in the allowance for credit losses related to the home equity portfolio. Total noninterest expense increased due to the Bank of New York transaction; the classification of certain loan origination costs as expense, due to the adoption of SFAS 159; and investments in the retail distribution network.
Card Services net income increased from the prior year, benefiting from higher revenue, partially offset by an increase in the Provision for credit losses. Total net revenue increased, reflecting a higher level of fees, higher average loan balances and increased net interchange income. These benefits were offset partially by the discontinuation of certain billing practices (including the elimination of certain over-limit fees and the two-cycle billing method for calculating finance charges) and a narrower loan spread. The Managed provision for credit losses increased, reflecting a higher level of net charge-offs. Credit quality was stable in the quarter. Total noninterest expense was up slightly, primarily due to higher volume-related expense.
Commercial Banking grew net income over the prior-year period, as an increase in Total net revenue and a decrease in Total noninterest expense were offset partially by a higher Provision for credit losses. Total net revenue increased due to double-digit growth in liability and loan balances, reflecting organic growth and the Bank of New York transaction. These increases were offset partially by a continued shift to narrower-spread liability products and spread compression in the loan and liability portfolios. The increase in Provision for credit losses largely reflected portfolio activity and growth in loan balances. Total noninterest expense decreased, as lower performance-based compensation expense was offset partially by higher volume-related expense.
Treasury & Securities Services achieved record net income, driven by record Total net revenue, partially offset by higher noninterest expense. Total net revenue growth was driven by increased product usage by new and existing clients, market appreciation, growth in electronic volumes and higher liability balances. These benefits were offset partially by spread compression and a continued shift to narrower-spread liability products. Total noninterest expense increased, due primarily to higher expense related to business and volume growth, as well as investment in new product platforms.
Asset Management generated record net income, reflecting record Total net revenue, partially offset by higher noninterest expense. Total net revenue benefited largely from increased assets under management, higher performance and placement fees, increases in deposit and loan balances and wider deposit spreads. The Provision for credit losses increased, reflecting a higher level of recoveries in the prior year. Total noninterest expense increased, due largely to higher compensation, primarily performance-based, and investments in all business segments.
Corporate segment net income increased from the prior year, benefiting from higher Total net revenue and lower noninterest expense. The increase in Total net revenue was driven primarily by higher private equity gains, higher trading-related gains and a gain from the sale of MasterCard shares. Partially offsetting the increased revenue was a narrower net interest spread. Total noninterest expense decreased due to lower compensation expense and continuing business efficiencies.
Income from discontinued operations was $65 million in the third quarter of 2006. Discontinued operations (included in the Corporate segment results) include the income statement activity of selected corporate trust businesses sold to The Bank of New York.
JPMorgan Chase realized approximately $740 million (pretax) of merger savings during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, which is an annualized rate of approximately $2.96 billion. Merger costs of $61 million were expensed during the third quarter of 2007, bringing the total amount expensed since the merger announcement to $3.7 billion (including capitalized costs). In the third quarter of 2007, the Firm successfully completed the in-sourcing of its credit card processing platform and the conversion of the wholesale deposit system. The wholesale deposit conversion was the largest in the Firm’s history, involving approximately $180 billion in customer balances, and was the last significant merger integration event.

The Managed provision for credit losses was $2.4 billion, up by $944 million, or 67%, from the prior year. The wholesale Provision for credit losses was $351 million, compared with $35 million in the prior year, reflecting an increase in the allowance for credit losses, primarily related to portfolio growth. Wholesale net charge-offs were $82 million, compared with net recoveries of $11 million, resulting in net charge-off rates of 0.19% and recoveries of 0.03%, respectively. The total consumer Managed provision for credit losses was $2.0 billion, compared with $1.4 billion in the prior year, primarily reflecting an increase in the allowance for credit losses related to the home equity portfolio and growth in the subprime mortgage portfolio. Consumer managed net charge-offs were $1.7 billion, compared with $1.4 billion, resulting in managed net charge-off rates of 1.96% and 1.69%, respectively. The Firm had total nonperforming assets of $3.2 billion at September 30, 2007, up by $881 million, or 38%, from the prior-year level of $2.3 billion.
The Firm had, at September 30, 2007, Total stockholders’ equity of $120.0 billion and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.4%. The Firm purchased $2.1 billion, or 47.0 million shares, of common stock during the quarter.
Business outlook
The following forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of JPMorgan Chase’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties could cause JPMorgan Chase’s results to differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements.
JPMorgan Chase’s outlook for the fourth quarter of 2007 should be viewed against the backdrop of the global economy, financial markets activity (including interest rate movements), the geopolitical environment, the competitive environment and client activity levels. Each of these interlinked factors will affect the performance of the Firm’s lines of business.
The Investment banking fee pipeline was lower at September 30, 2007, than it was at June 30, 2007, due largely to a lower level of debt underwriting activity. In light of current capital market and economic conditions, management remains cautious with regard to the realization of this pipeline. Capital market conditions are still being affected by the disruption in the mortgage market, as well as by overall lower levels of liquidity and wider credit spreads, all of which could potentially lead to reduced levels of client activity, difficulty in syndicating leveraged loans, lower investment banking fees and lower trading revenue. While there have been some successfully completed leveraged finance transactions during the fourth quarter of 2007, the Firm continues to hold a substantial amount of leveraged loans and unfunded commitments as held-for-sale ($40.6 billion as of September 30, 2007). These positions are difficult to hedge effectively and further markdowns could result if market conditions worsen for this asset class. The Firm’s CDO and subprime mortgage warehouse and trading positions could also be negatively affected by market conditions during the fourth quarter of 2007.
Future economic conditions may also cause the Provision for credit losses to increase over time. The consumer Provision for credit losses could increase as a result of a higher level of losses in Retail Financial Services’ home equity loan portfolio and growth in the retained subprime mortgage loan portfolio. Given the potential stress on the consumer from continued downward pressure on housing prices and the elevated inventory of unsold houses nationally, management remains cautious with respect to the home equity portfolio. Management currently expects that quarterly losses related to the home equity portfolio to increase over the next few quarters, to a range of $250 million to $270 million per quarter, or a net charge-off rate of 1.05% to 1.10%. In addition, the consumer provision could increase due to a higher level of net charge-offs in Card Services, as losses continue to return to a more normal level, which could be in the range of 4.00% to 4.50% of managed loans by the end of 2008. The wholesale Provision for credit losses may also increase over time as a result of loan growth, customer activity and changes in underlying credit conditions. In addition, a weaker overall economy may lead to an increase in both the wholesale and consumer provision for credit losses.
Management continues to believe that the net loss in Treasury and Other Corporate on a combined basis will be approximately $50 million to $100 million per quarter over time; and that private equity results, which are dependent upon the capital markets, could continue to be volatile. Firmwide, Total noninterest expense is anticipated to reflect investments in each business, recent acquisitions and divestitures and other operating efficiencies. Management continues to believe that annual merger savings will reach approximately $3.0 billion by the end of 2007. Management currently expects total merger costs (including costs associated with the Bank of New York transaction) will be approximately $3.8 billion, and that all remaining costs will be incurred by the end of 2007.

Total net revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was $16.1 billion, up by $567 million, or 4%, from the prior year. This increase was the result of higher Net interest income; record Asset management, administration and commissions revenue; strong private equity gains (included in Principal transactions revenue); and higher Credit card income. These improvements were partly offset by a significant decline in trading revenue within Principal transactions revenue, reflecting markdowns on leveraged lending funded loans and unfunded commitments and lower fixed income trading results. For the first nine months of 2007, Total net revenue was $54.0 billion, up by $8.2 billion, or 18%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by higher Net interest income; very strong private equity gains; record Asset management, administration and commissions revenue; and record Investment banking fees. Lower trading revenue in the 2007 third quarter partially offset these increases.
Investment banking fees in the third quarter of 2007 declined slightly from the comparable period last year, reflecting lower debt underwriting fees offset partially by record advisory fees. In the first nine months of 2007, Investment banking fees were a record for the Firm, reflecting record fees for advisory and debt and equity underwriting. For a further discussion of Investment banking fees, which are primarily recorded in IB, see the IB segment results on pages 17–20 of this Form 10-Q.
Principal transactions revenue consists of trading revenue and private equity gains. In the third quarter of 2007, the Firm recognized a net loss of $548 million from trading activities primarily reflecting markdowns of $1.3 billion (net of fees) on $40.6 billion of leveraged lending funded loans and unfunded commitments, as well as markdowns of $339 million (net of risk management results) on $6.8 billion of CDO warehouses and unsold positions. For the first nine months of 2007, trading revenue was lower by $2.4 billion compared with the same period last year, primarily reflecting markdowns of $1.4 billion (net of fees) on leveraged lending funded loans and unfunded commitments, as well as markdowns of $358 million (net of risk management results) on CDO warehouses and unsold positions. In addition, trading revenue was also impacted by weak credit trading and significantly lower commodities results, compared with a strong prior year, partially offset by record revenue in rates and currencies, and strong equity trading results across all products. IB’s Credit Portfolio results increased from the third quarter of 2006 due to higher trading revenue from risk management activities; in addition, for the first nine months of 2007, IB’s Credit Portfolio benefited from an adjustment to the valuation of the Firm’s derivative liabilities measured at fair value, to reflect the credit quality of the Firm as part of the adoption of SFAS 157. Private equity gains in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 increased compared with the same periods in 2006, reflecting a higher level of gains and the classification of certain private equity carried interest as Compensation expense. Also favorably affecting the first nine months of 2007 was a fair value adjustment in the first quarter of 2007 on nonpublic private equity investments resulting from the adoption of SFAS 157. For a further discussion of Principal transactions revenue, see the IB and Corporate segment results on pages 17–20 and 40–41, respectively, and Note 5 on pages 83–85 of this Form 10-Q.

Lending & deposit-related fees rose from the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 as a result of higher deposit-related fees and the Bank of New York transaction. For a further discussion of Lending & deposit-related fees, which are partly recorded in RFS and CB, see the RFS segment results on pages 21–28 and the CB segment results on pages 33–34 of this Form 10-Q.
Asset management, administration and commissions revenue reached record levels in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, primarily due to an increase in assets under management and higher performance and placement fees in AM. The growth in assets under management, which reached $1.2 trillion at the end of the third quarter of 2007, up 24% from the prior year, was the result of net asset inflows into the Institutional, Retail and Private Bank segments and market appreciation. Also contributing to the rise in Asset management, administration and commissions revenue were higher assets under custody in TSS, driven by new business and market appreciation. In addition, other service fees were higher due to a combination of new clients and increased product usage by existing clients. In addition, commissions revenue increased due to higher brokerage transaction volume (primarily included within Fixed Income and Equity Markets revenue of IB) and higher investment sales volume in RFS; these were partly offset by the sale of the insurance business in the third quarter of 2006, and a charge in the first quarter of 2007 resulting from accelerated surrenders of customer annuities. For additional information on these fees and commissions, see the segment discussions for IB on pages 17–20, RFS on pages 21–28, TSS on pages 35–36, and AM on pages 37–39, of this Form 10-Q.
The favorable variances in Securities gains (losses) for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 when compared with the same periods in 2006 were primarily the result of a $115 million gain from the sale of MasterCard shares; higher gains from marketable securities received from loan workouts in IB; and improvements in the results of Treasury’s portfolio-repositioning activities. For a further discussion of Securities gains (losses), which are mostly recorded in the Firm’s Treasury business, see the Corporate segment discussion on pages 40–41 of this Form 10-Q.
Mortgage fees and related income increased from the third quarter and first nine months of 2006. Net mortgage servicing improved due primarily to the absence of a prior-year negative valuation adjustment of $235 million to the MSR asset and growth in third-party loans serviced. In the quarter-to-quarter comparison, production revenue declined as markdowns of $186 million on the mortgage warehouse and pipeline were offset partially by an increase in mortgage loan originations and the classification of certain loan origination costs as expense (loan origination costs previously netted against revenue commenced being recorded as an expense in the first quarter of 2007 due to the adoption of SFAS 159). For the first nine months of 2007, production revenue was up from the same period in 2006 as a result of increased mortgage loan originations, and the classification of certain loan origination costs as expense (loan origination costs previously netted against revenue are currently recorded as expense due to the adoption of SFAS 159). These increases were offset partially by markdowns of $186 million on the mortgage warehouse and pipeline. Mortgage fees and related income exclude the impact of NII and AFS securities gains and losses related to mortgage activities. For a discussion of Mortgage fees and related income, which is recorded primarily in RFS’s Mortgage Banking business, see the Mortgage Banking discussion on pages 26–27 of this Form 10-Q.
Credit card income rose from the third quarter of 2006 due primarily to an increase in net interchange income, which benefited from higher charge volume; and an increase in servicing fees earned in connection with securitization activities, which were favorably affected by higher net interest income earned on the securitized credit card loans. For the first nine months of 2007, Credit card income decreased due primarily to lower servicing fees earned in connection with securitization activities, which were affected unfavorably by lower net interest income earned and higher net credit losses incurred on the securitized credit card loans. These were partially offset by an increase in net interchange income and a higher level of fee-based revenue. For further discussion of Credit card income, see CS’s segment results on pages 29–32 of this Form 10-Q.
Other income declined from the third quarter and first nine months of 2006. The decrease from the first nine months of 2006 was driven by the absence of a $103 million gain in the second quarter of 2006, related to the sale of MasterCard shares in its initial public offering; and lower net gains on credit card securitizations. These were offset partially by higher gains on the sale of leveraged leases and education loans, increased income from automobile operating leases, and the absence of a loss related to auto loans transferred to the held-for-sale portfolio in the first quarter of 2006.
Net interest income rose from the third quarter of 2006, primarily from the following: higher trading-related Net interest income, due to a shift of Interest expense to Principal transactions revenue (related to certain IB structured notes to which fair value accounting was elected in connection with the adoption of SFAS 159); a higher level of credit card loans and fees; growth in liability and deposit balances, primarily in the wholesale businesses; and the impact of the Bank of New York transaction. These increases were offset partially by compression in Treasury’s net interest spread and a shift to narrower spread liability and deposit products. Net interest income in the first nine months of 2007 rose from the same period of last year, driven by the aforementioned items, with the exception of an improvement in Treasury’s net interest spread. These were offset partially by narrower spreads on credit card loans. The Firm’s total average interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2007 were $1.1 trillion, up 15% from the third quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily a result of higher Trading assets — debt instruments, Available for sale securities, and Loans. The net interest yield on these

Table of Contents

assets, on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, was 2.57%, an increase of 40 basis points from the prior year, partly reflecting the adoption of SFAS 159. The Firm’s total average interest earning assets for the first nine months of 2007 were $1.1 trillion, up 12% from the first nine months of 2006. The increase was also driven by the aforementioned items, partially offset by a decline in Interests in purchased receivables as a result of the restructuring and deconsolidation during the second quarter of 2006 of certain multi-seller conduits that the Firm administered. The net interest yield on these assets, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 2.44%, an increase of 30 basis points from the prior year.

Provision for credit losses
  $ 1,785     $ 812       120 %   $ 4,322     $ 2,136       102 %
 
The Provision for credit losses in the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 rose from the comparable prior-year periods. The increase from the third quarter of 2006 in the consumer Provision for credit losses was due to a net $306 million increase in the Allowance for loan losses due to higher estimated losses for home equity loans. The increase from the first nine months of 2006 in the consumer provision was due to: a net increase of $635 million in the Allowance for loan losses resulting from higher estimated losses for home equity loans; an increase in subprime mortgage loan balances; and an increase in credit card net charge-offs. Credit card net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 benefited following the change in bankruptcy legislation in the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase in the wholesale provision from the third quarter of 2006 reflected an increase in the Allowance for credit losses, primarily related to portfolio growth. The increase in the wholesale provision from the first nine months of 2006 primarily reflected an increase in the allowance due to portfolio activity and growth. For a more detailed discussion of the loan portfolio and the Allowance for loan losses, see the segment discussions for RFS on pages 21–28, CS on pages 29–32, and IB on pages 17–20, and Credit risk management on pages 51–62 of this Form 10-Q.

Total noninterest expense
  $ 9,327     $ 9,796       (5 )   $ 30,983     $ 28,958       7  
 
Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2007 was $9.3 billion, down by $469 million, or 5%, from the prior year. Expense decreased due to lower Compensation expense, primarily incentive-based, partially offset by investments across the business segments and acquisitions. For the first nine months of 2007, Total noninterest expense was $31.0 billion, up by $2.0 billion, or 7%, from the prior year, driven by higher Compensation expense, primarily incentive-based, as well as investments across the business segments and acquisitions.
The decrease in Compensation expense from the third quarter of 2006 was primarily the result of lower performance-based incentives, business divestitures and continuing business efficiencies. These declines were offset partially by additional headcount from the Bank of New York transaction, acquisitions and investments in the businesses; the classification of certain private equity carried interest from Principal transactions revenue; and the classification of certain loan origination costs (previously netted against revenue) due to the adoption of SFAS 159. Compensation expense for the first nine months of 2007 increased from the prior-year period, reflecting the aforementioned items, with the exception of performance-based incentives, which were higher in the current year period. These increases were offset partially by the absence of a prior-year expense of $459 million from the adoption of SFAS 123R. For a detailed discussion of the adoption of SFAS 123R see Note 9 on page 88 of this Form 10-Q.
The increases in Occupancy expense from the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 were driven by ongoing investments in the businesses; in particular, the retail distribution network, which includes the incremental expense from The Bank of New York branches. Partially offsetting the increase in Occupancy expense was continuing business efficiencies.

Table of Contents

The increases in Technology, communications and equipment expense, when compared with the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, were due primarily to higher depreciation expense on owned automobiles subject to operating leases, and technology investments to support business growth. These increases were offset partially by continuing business efficiencies.
Professional & outside services rose from the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, reflecting higher brokerage expense and credit card processing costs resulting from growth in transaction volume. Also contributing to the increases were acquisitions and investments in the businesses.
Marketing expense was relatively flat compared with the third quarter of 2006. The decrease from the first nine months of 2006 was due to a reduction in credit card marketing expense.
Other expense decreased from the third quarter of 2006 due to a higher level of legal-related recoveries and lower legal expense, offset partially by business growth and investments in the businesses. For the nine-month period comparison, Other expense was higher due to increased net legal-related costs reflecting a lower level of recoveries and higher expense. Also contributing to the increase were business growth and investments in the businesses offset partially by the sale of the insurance business at the beginning of the third quarter of 2006, lower credit card fraud-related losses and continuing business efficiencies.
For a discussion of Amortization of intangibles and Merger costs, refer to Note 17 and Note 10 on pages 101–103 and 89, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Income tax expense
The Firm’s Income from continuing operations before income tax expense, Income tax expense and effective tax rate were as follows for each of the periods indicated.
                                 
    Three months ended September 30,     Nine months ended September 30,  
(in millions, except rate)   2007     2006     2007     2006  
 
Income from continuing operations before income tax expense
  $ 5,000     $ 4,937     $ 18,683     $ 14,712  
Income tax expense
    1,627       1,705       6,289       4,969  
Effective tax rate
    32.5 %     34.5 %     33.7 %     33.8 %
 
The effective tax rate decrease for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the prior year third quarter was primarily attributable to a favorable resolution of a tax audit.
Income from discontinued operations
Income from discontinued operations was zero in all periods of 2007 compared with $65 million and $175 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, respectively. Discontinued operations (included in the Corporate segment results) include the income statement activity of selected corporate trust businesses that were sold to The Bank of New York on October 1, 2006.

EXPLANATION AND RECONCILIATION OF THE FIRM’S USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
 
The Firm prepares its Consolidated financial statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”); these financial statements appear on pages 68–71 of this Form 10-Q. That presentation, which is referred to as “reported basis,” provides the reader with an understanding of the Firm’s results that can be tracked consistently from year to year and enables a comparison of the Firm’s performance with other companies’ U.S. GAAP financial statements.
In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management reviews the Firm’s and the line-of-business results on a “managed” basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Firm’s definition of managed basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results and includes certain reclassifications that assume credit card loans securitized by CS remain on the balance sheet and present revenue on a fully taxable-equivalent (“FTE”) basis. These adjustments do not have any impact on Net income as reported by the lines of business or by the Firm as a whole.
The presentation of CS results on a managed basis assumes that credit card loans that have been securitized and sold in accordance with SFAS 140 still remain on the balance sheet and that the earnings on the securitized loans are classified in the same manner as the earnings on retained loans recorded on the balance sheet. JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of managed basis to evaluate the credit performance and overall financial performance of the entire managed credit card portfolio. Operations are funded and decisions are made about allocating resources, such as employees and capital, based upon managed financial information. In addition, the same underwriting standards and ongoing risk monitoring are used for both loans on the balance sheet and securitized loans. Although securitizations result in the sale of credit card receivables to a trust, JPMorgan Chase retains the ongoing customer relationships, as the customers may continue to use their credit cards; accordingly, the customer’s credit performance will affect both the securitized loans and the loans retained on the balance sheet. JPMorgan Chase believes managed-basis information is useful to investors, enabling them to understand both the credit risks associated with the loans reported on the balance sheet and the Firm’s retained interests in securitized loans. For a reconciliation of reported to managed basis of CS results, see Card Services segment results on pages 29–32 of this Form 10-Q. For information regarding the securitization process, and loans and residual interests sold and securitized, see Note 15 on pages 94–99 of this Form 10-Q.
Total net revenue for each of the business segments and the Firm is presented on an FTE basis. Accordingly, revenue from tax-exempt securities and investments that receive tax credits is presented in the managed results on a basis comparable to taxable securities and investments. This non-GAAP financial measure allows management to assess the comparability of revenues arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to these items is recorded within Income tax expense.
Management also uses certain non-GAAP financial measures at the segment level, because it believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors about the underlying operational performance and trends of the particular business segment and, therefore, facilitate a comparison of the business segment with the performance of its competitors.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
 
The Firm is managed on a line-of-business basis. The business-segment financial results reflect the current organization of JPMorgan Chase. There are six major reportable business segments: the Investment Bank, Retail Financial Services, Card Services, Commercial Banking, Treasury & Securities Services and Asset Management, as well as a Corporate segment. The segments are based upon the products and services provided, or the type of customer served, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Results of these lines of business are presented on a managed basis. For further discussion of Business segment results, see pages 34–35 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
Description of business segment reporting methodology
Results of the business segments are intended to reflect each segment as if it were essentially a stand-alone business. The management reporting process that derives business segment results allocates income and expense using market-based methodologies. For a further discussion of those methodologies, see Business Segment Results – Description of business segment reporting methodology on page 34 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. The Firm continues to assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications used for segment reporting, and further refinements may be implemented in future periods.

(a)  
As a result of the adoption on January 1, 2007, of SFAS 157, IB recognized a benefit, in the first quarter of 2007, of $166 million in Total net revenue (primarily in Credit Portfolio, but with smaller impacts to Equity Markets and Fixed Income Markets) relating to the incorporation of an adjustment to the valuation of the Firm’s derivative liabilities and other liabilities measured at fair value that reflects the credit quality of the Firm.
(b)  
Total net revenue included tax-equivalent adjustments – due primarily to tax-exempt income from municipal bond investments and income tax credits related to affordable housing investments – of $255 million and $197 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $697 million and $584 million for year-to-date 2007 and 2006, respectively.
(c)  
Treasury & Securities Services is charged a credit reimbursement related to certain exposures managed within the Investment Bank credit portfolio on behalf of clients shared with TSS.
(d)  
For 2006, the Compensation expense to Total net revenue ratio was adjusted to present this ratio as if SFAS 123R had always been in effect. IB management believes that adjusting the Compensation expense to Total net revenue ratio for the incremental impact of adopting SFAS 123R provides a more meaningful measure of IB’s Compensation expense to Total net revenue ratio for 2006.
(e)  
Net Interest Income for 2007 increased from the prior year due primarily to the adoption of SFAS 159. For certain IB structured notes, all components of earnings are reported in Principal transactions, causing a shift between Principal transactions revenue and Net interest income in 2007.

Quarterly results
Net income was $296 million, down by $680 million, or 70%, compared with the prior year. The decrease in earnings reflected lower net revenue as well as a higher Provision for credit losses, partially offset by lower noninterest expense.
Net revenue was $2.9 billion, down by $1.9 billion, or 39%, from the prior year. Investment banking fees were $1.3 billion, down by 6% from the prior year, reflecting lower debt underwriting fees offset partially by record advisory fees. Debt underwriting fees were $468 million, down 34%, reflecting lower bond underwriting and loan syndication fees, which were negatively affected by market conditions. Advisory fees were $595 million, up 36%, driven by a strong performance across all regions. Equity underwriting fees were $267 million, down 3%, driven by lower revenue in Europe and Asia, partially offset by strong performance in the Americas in common stock and convertible offerings. Fixed Income Markets revenue was $687 million, down by $1.8 billion, or 72%, from the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to markdowns of $1.3 billion (net of fees) on leveraged lending funded loans and unfunded commitments and markdowns of $339 million (net of risk management results) on CDO warehouses and unsold positions. Fixed Income Markets revenue also decreased due to weak credit trading performance and significantly lower commodities results, compared with a strong prior-year quarter. These lower results were offset partially by record revenue in both rates and currencies. Equity Markets revenue was $537 million, down 18% from the prior year, as weaker trading results were offset partially by strong client revenue across businesses. Fixed Income Markets and Equity Markets had a combined benefit of $454 million from the widening of the Firm’s credit spread on certain structured liabilities, with an impact of $304 million and $150 million, respectively. Credit Portfolio revenue was $392 million, up 45% from the prior year, primarily due to higher trading revenue from risk management activities and gains from loan workouts.
The Provision for credit losses was $227 million, compared with $7 million in the prior year. The provision was up due to an increase in the Allowance for credit losses, primarily related to portfolio growth. Net charge-offs were $67 million, compared with net recoveries of $8 million in the prior year. The Allowance for loan losses to average loans retained was 1.80% for the current quarter, an increase from 1.64% in the prior year. Nonperforming assets were $325 million, compared with $456 million from the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $2.4 billion, down by $866 million, or 27%, from the prior year. The decrease was due primarily to lower performance-based compensation.
Year-to-date results
Net income was $3.0 billion, driven by record year-to-date revenues of $15.0 billion. Compared with the prior year, net income increased by $350 million, or 13%, reflecting record investment banking fees and equity markets revenue, partially offset by weaker fixed income results and increases in noninterest expense and the Provision for credit losses.
Net revenue was $15.0 billion, up by $1.0 billion, or 7%, from the prior year, driven by record investment banking fees and record equity market results. Investment banking fees were $5.0 billion, up 25% from the prior year, driven by record fees across advisory, debt underwriting and equity underwriting. Advisory fees were $1.6 billion, up 38%, benefiting from strong performance across all regions. Debt underwriting fees were $2.2 billion, up 12%, driven by record loan syndication fees and record bond underwriting. Equity underwriting fees were $1.2 billion, up 37%, reflecting strong performance across all regions. Fixed Income Markets revenue decreased by 14% from the prior year, primarily due to markdowns of $1.4 billion (net of fees) on leverage lending funded loans and unfunded commitments and markdowns of $358 million (net of risk management results) on CDO warehouses and unsold positions. Fixed Income Markets revenue also decreased due to weak credit trading and significantly lower commodities results, compared with a strong prior year. These lower results were offset partially by record revenue in rates and currencies. Equity Markets revenue was $3.3 billion, up 33%, benefiting from strong trading results across all products and strong client revenue. Credit Portfolio revenue was $990 million, up 18%, primarily due to higher trading revenue from risk management activities, partially offset by lower gains from loan sales and workouts.
The Provision for credit losses was $454 million, an increase of $326 million from the prior year. The change was due to a net increase of $240 million in the Allowance for credit losses, primarily due to portfolio activity and growth. In addition, there were $45 million of net charge-offs in the current year, compared with $41 million of net recoveries in the prior period. The Allowance for loan losses to average loans was 1.85% for 2007, compared with a ratio of 1.74% in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $10.1 billion, up by $408 million, or 4%, from the prior year.

(a)  
As a result of the adoption of SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2007, $11.7 billion of loans were reclassified to trading assets. Loans at fair value and loans held-for-sale were excluded when calculating the allowance coverage ratio and Net charge-off rate.
(b)  
Loans retained included credit portfolio loans, leveraged leases and other accrual loans, and excluded loans at fair value.
(c)  
Adjusted assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, equals Total assets minus (1) Securities purchased under resale agreements and Securities borrowed less Securities sold, not yet purchased; (2) assets of variable interest entities consolidated under FIN 46R; (3) cash and securities segregated and on deposit for regulatory and other purposes; and (4) goodwill and intangibles. The amount of adjusted assets is presented to assist the reader in comparing IB’s asset and capital levels to other investment banks in the securities industry. Asset-to-equity leverage ratios are commonly used as one measure to assess a company’s capital adequacy. IB believed an adjusted asset amount that excluded the assets discussed above, which were considered to have a low risk profile, provided a more meaningful measure of balance sheet leverage in the securities industry.
(d)  
Nonperforming loans included Loans held-for-sale of $75 million and $21 million at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which were excluded from the allowance coverage ratios. Nonperforming loans excluded distressed loans held-for-sale purchased as part of IB’s proprietary activities and assets classified as trading assets. Loans elected under the fair value option and classified within trading assets are also excluded from Nonperforming loans.
(e)  
For a more complete description of VAR, see pages 62–65 of this Form 10-Q.
(f)  
Average VARs were less than the sum of the VARs of their market risk components, which was due to risk offsets resulting from portfolio diversification. The diversification effect reflected the fact that the risks were not perfectly correlated. The risk of a portfolio of positions is usually less than the sum of the risks of the positions themselves.
(g)  
Trading VAR includes substantially all trading activities in IB. Trading VAR does not include VAR related to the debit valuation adjustments (“DVA”) taken on derivative and structured liabilities to reflect the credit quality of the Firm. See the DVA Sensitivity table on page 64 of this Form 10-Q for further details.
(h)  
Included VAR on derivative credit valuation adjustments, hedges of the credit valuation adjustment and mark-to-market hedges of the retained loan portfolio, which were all reported in Principal Transactions revenue. The VAR did not include the retained loan portfolio.

(a)
 
The Firm adopted SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2007. As a result, certain loan-origination costs have been classified as expense (previously netted against revenue) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
(b)
 
Retail Financial Services uses the overhead ratio excluding the amortization of core deposit intangibles (“CDI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the underlying expense trends of the business. Including CDI amortization expense in the overhead ratio calculation results in a higher overhead ratio in earlier years and a lower overhead ratio in later years; this method would result in an improving overhead ratio over time, all things remaining equal. This non-GAAP ratio excluded Regional Banking’s core deposit intangible amortization expense related to the Bank of New York transaction and the Bank One merger of $116 million and $109 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $347 million and $328 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Quarterly results
Net income was $639 million, down by $107 million, or 14%, from the prior year, due to lower results in Regional Banking, primarily due to an increase in the Provision for credit losses.
Net revenue was $4.2 billion, up by $646 million, or 18%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $2.7 billion, up by $224 million, or 9%, due to the Bank of New York transaction, wider spreads on loans and higher deposit balances. These benefits were offset partially by a shift to narrower–spread deposit products. Noninterest revenue was $1.5 billion, up by $422 million, or 38%, benefiting from the absence of a prior-year negative valuation adjustment to the MSR asset; increases in deposit-related fees; an increase in mortgage loan originations; a higher level of education loan sales; and increased mortgage loan servicing revenue. Noninterest revenue also benefited from the Bank of New York transaction and the classification of certain mortgage loan origination costs as expense (loan origination costs previously netted against revenue commenced being recorded as an expense in the first quarter of 2007 due to the adoption of SFAS 159). These benefits were offset partially by markdowns on the mortgage warehouse and pipeline.
The Provision for credit losses was $680 million, compared with $114 million in the prior year. The current-quarter provision includes a net increase of $306 million in the Allowance for loan losses related to home equity loans as continued weak housing prices have resulted in an increase in estimated losses for high loan-to-value loans. Home equity net charge-offs were $150 million (0.65% net charge-off rate), compared with $29 million (0.15% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. In addition, the current-quarter provision includes an increase in the Allowance for loan losses, reflecting increased loan balances resulting from the decision to retain rather than sell subprime mortgage loans. Subprime mortgage net charge-offs were $40 million (1.62% net charge-off rate), compared with $13 million (0.36% net charge-off rate) in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $2.5 billion, up by $330 million, or 15%, due to the Bank of New York transaction, the classification of certain loan origination costs as expense due to the adoption of SFAS 159, investments in the retail distribution network and an increase in loan originations in Mortgage Banking.
Year-to-date results
Net income was $2.3 billion, down by $212 million, or 8%, from the prior year, as lower results in Regional Banking and Auto Finance, primarily due to an increase in the Provision for credit losses, were offset partially by improved results in Mortgage Banking.
Net revenue was $12.7 billion, up by $1.6 billion, or 14%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $8.0 billion, up by $386 million, or 5%, due to the Bank of New York transaction, wider spreads on loans and higher deposit balances. These benefits were offset partially by the sale of the insurance business, a shift to narrower–spread deposit products and a decrease in loan balances. Noninterest revenue was $4.7 billion, up by $1.2 billion, or 34%, benefiting from increases in deposit-related fees; the absence of a prior-year negative valuation adjustment to the MSR asset; an increase in mortgage originations; increased mortgage loan servicing revenue; higher operating lease revenue; and a higher level of education loan sales. Noninterest revenue also benefited from the Bank of New York transaction and the classification of certain mortgage loan origination costs as expense (loan origination costs previously netted against revenue commenced being recorded as an expense in the first quarter of 2007 due to the adoption of SFAS 159). These benefits were offset partially by markdowns on the mortgage warehouse and pipeline and the sale of the insurance business.
The Provision for credit losses was $1.6 billion, compared with $299 million in the prior year. The year-to-date provision includes a net increase of $635 million in the Allowance for loan losses related to home equity loans, as continued weak housing prices have resulted in an increase in estimated losses for high loan-to-value loans. Home equity net charge-offs were $316 million (0.47% net charge-off rate), compared with $92 million (0.16% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. In addition, the year-to-date provision reflects an increase in estimated losses in the subprime mortgage portfolio, as well as increased loan balances resulting from the decision to retain rather than sell subprime mortgage loans. Subprime mortgage net charge-offs were $86 million (1.28% net charge-off rate), compared with $30 million (0.27% net charge-off rate) in the prior year. Home equity and subprime mortgage underwriting standards were tightened during the year-to-date period, and pricing actions were implemented to reflect elevated risks in these segments.
Noninterest expense was $7.4 billion, up by $724 million, or 11%, due to the Bank of New York transaction, the classification of certain loan origination costs as expense due to the adoption of SFAS 159, investments in the retail distribution network and an increase in loan originations in Mortgage Banking. These increases were offset partially by the sale of the insurance business.

(a)
 
Regional Banking uses the overhead ratio excluding the amortization of CDI, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the underlying expense trends of the business. Including CDI amortization expense in the overhead ratio calculation results in a higher overhead ratio in earlier years and a lower overhead ratio in later years; this method would result in an improving overhead ratio over time, all things remaining equal. This non-GAAP ratio excluded Regional Banking’s core deposit intangible amortization expense related to the Bank of New York transaction and the Bank One merger of $116 million and $109 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $347 million and $328 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Quarterly results
Regional Banking net income was $611 million, down by $133 million, or 18%, from the prior year. Net revenue was $3.3 billion, up by $376 million, or 13%, benefiting from the following: the Bank of New York transaction; increases in deposit-related fees; a higher level of education loan sales; growth in deposits and wider loan spreads. These benefits were offset partially by a shift to narrower–spread deposit products. The Provision for credit losses was $574 million, compared with $53 million in the prior year. The increase in provision was due to the home equity and subprime mortgage portfolios (see Retail Financial Services discussion of Provision for credit losses for further detail). Noninterest expense was $1.8 billion, up by $149 million, or 9%, from the prior year due to the Bank of New York transaction and investments in the retail distribution network.
Year-to-date results
Regional Banking net income was $1.9 billion, down by $335 million, or 15%, from the prior year. Net revenue was $9.7 billion, up by $638 million, or 7%, benefiting from the following: the Bank of New York transaction; increases in deposit-related fees; growth in deposits; wider loan spreads; and a higher level of education loan sales. These benefits were offset partially by the sale of the insurance business and a shift to narrower–spread deposit products. The Provision for credit losses was $1.3 billion, compared with $189 million in the prior year. The increase in provision was due to the home equity and subprime mortgage portfolios (see Retail Financial Services discussion of Provision for credit losses for further detail). Noninterest expense was $5.2 billion, up by $143 million, or 3%, from the prior year as the Bank of New York transaction and investments in the retail distribution network were offset partially by the sale of the insurance business.

The Firm adopted SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2007. As a result, certain loan origination costs have been classified as expense (previously netted against revenue) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.
(b)
 
Included $14.1 billion and $11.4 billion of prime mortgage loans at fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. These loans are classified as Trading assets on the Consolidated balance sheets for 2007.
(c)
 
During the second quarter of 2007, RFS changed its definition of mortgage originations to include all newly originated mortgage loans sourced through RFS channels, and to exclude all mortgage loan originations sourced through IB channels. Prior periods have been restated to conform to this new definition.

Quarterly results
Mortgage Banking net loss was $48 million, compared with a net loss of $83 million in the prior year. Net revenue was $406 million, up by $208 million. Net revenue comprises production revenue and net mortgage servicing revenue. Production revenue was $176 million, down by $21 million, as markdowns of $186 million on the mortgage warehouse and pipeline were offset partially by an increase in mortgage loan originations and the classification of certain loan origination costs as expense (loan origination costs previously netted against revenue commenced being recorded as an expense in the first quarter of 2007 due to the adoption of SFAS 159). Net mortgage servicing revenue, which includes loan servicing revenue, MSR risk management results and other changes in fair value, was $230 million, compared with $1 million in the prior year. Loan servicing revenue of $629 million increased by $50 million on growth of 17% in third-party loans serviced. MSR risk management revenue of negative $22 million improved by $229 million, due primarily to the absence of a prior-year negative valuation adjustment of $235 million to the MSR asset. Other changes in fair value of the MSR asset, representing run-off of the asset against the realization of servicing cash flows, were negative $377 million, compared with negative $327 million in the prior year. Noninterest expense was $485 million, up by $151 million, or 45%. The increase reflected the classification of certain loan origination costs due to the adoption of SFAS 159, and higher compensation expense, the result of higher loan originations and a greater number of loan officers.
Year-to-date results
Mortgage Banking net income was $107 million, compared with a net loss of $51 million in the prior year. Net revenue was $1.6 billion, up by $739 million. Net revenue comprises production revenue and net mortgage servicing revenue. Production revenue was $1.0 billion, up by $421 million, due to an increase in mortgage loan originations and the classification of certain loan origination costs as expense (loan origination costs previously netted against revenue commenced being recorded as an expense in the first quarter of 2007 due to the adoption of SFAS 159). These increases were offset partially by markdowns of $186 million on the mortgage warehouse and pipeline, in the third quarter of 2007. Net mortgage servicing revenue, which includes loan servicing revenue, MSR risk management results and other changes in fair value, was $604 million, compared with $286 million in the prior year. Loan servicing revenue of $1.8 billion increased by $143 million on growth of 17% in third-party loans serviced. MSR risk management revenue of negative $103 million improved by $245 million, due primarily to the absence of a prior-year negative valuation adjustment of $235 million to the MSR asset. Other changes in fair value of the MSR asset, representing run-off of the asset against the realization of servicing cash flows, were negative $1.1 billion. Noninterest expense was $1.5 billion, up by $482 million, or 49%. The increase reflected the classification of certain loan origination costs due to the adoption of SFAS 159, and higher compensation expense, the result of higher loan originations and a greater number of loan officers.

Quarterly results
Auto Finance net income was $76 million, down by $9 million, or 11%, from the prior year. Net revenue was $447 million, up by $52 million, or 13%, reflecting higher automobile operating lease revenue and wider loan spreads. The Provision for credit losses was $96 million, an increase of $35 million, reflecting an increase in estimated losses from low prior-year levels. Noninterest expense of $224 million increased by $30 million, or 15%, driven by increased depreciation expense on owned automobiles subject to operating leases.
Year-to-date results
Auto Finance net income was $246 million, down by $35 million, or 12%, from the prior year. Net revenue was $1.3 billion, up by $179 million, or 16%, reflecting higher automobile operating lease revenue, wider loan spreads and the absence of a prior-year $50 million pretax loss related to auto loans transferred to held-for-sale. The Provision for credit losses was $247 million, an increase of $137 million, reflecting an increase in estimated losses from low prior-year levels. Noninterest expense of $653 million increased by $99 million, or 18%, driven by increased depreciation expense on owned automobiles subject to operating leases.

CARD SERVICES
 
For a discussion of the business profile of CS, see pages 43–45 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report and pages 4–5 of this Form 10-Q.
JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of “managed receivables” to evaluate the credit performance of its credit card loans, both loans on the balance sheet and loans that have been securitized. Managed results exclude the impact of credit card securitizations on Total net revenue, the Provision for credit losses, net charge-offs and loan receivables. Securitization does not change reported Net income; however, it does affect the classification of items on the Consolidated statements of income and Consolidated balance sheets. For further information, see Explanation and Reconciliation of the Firm’s Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures on pages 13–16 of this Form 10-Q.

Quarterly results
Net income was $786 million, up by $75 million, or 11%, from the prior year. Earnings benefited from higher revenue offset partially by an increase in the Provision for credit losses.
End-of-period managed loans of $149.1 billion increased by $5.2 billion, or 4%, from the prior year. Average managed loans of $148.7 billion increased by $7.0 billion, or 5%, from the prior year. Both end-of-period and average managed loans benefited from organic growth.
Net managed revenue was $3.9 billion, up by $221 million, or 6%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $3.1 billion, up by $224 million, or 8%, from the prior year. The increase in net interest income was driven by an increased level of fees and higher average loan balances. These benefits were offset partially by the discontinuation of certain billing practices (including the elimination of certain over-limit fees and the two-cycle billing method for calculating finance charges) and a narrower loan spread. Noninterest revenue was $759 million, flat compared with the prior year. Increased net interchange income, which benefited from higher charge volume, was offset by lower net securitization gains. Charge volume growth of 3% reflects an approximate 10% growth rate in sales volume, offset primarily by a lower level of balance transfers, the result of a more targeted marketing effort.
The Managed provision for credit losses was $1.4 billion, up by $93 million, or 7%, from the prior year due to a higher level of net charge-offs. Credit quality was stable in the quarter, with a managed net charge-off rate for the quarter of 3.64%, up from 3.58% in the prior year. The 30-day managed delinquency rate was 3.25%, up from 3.17% in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $1.3 billion, up by $9 million, or 1%, compared with the prior year, primarily due to higher volume-related expense.

Year-to-date results
Net income was $2.3 billion, down by $177 million, or 7%, from the prior year. Prior-year results benefited from significantly lower net charge-offs following the change in bankruptcy legislation in the fourth quarter of 2005.
End-of-period managed loans of $149.1 billion increased by $5.2 billion, or 4%, from the prior year. Average managed loans of $148.5 billion increased by $9.5 billion, or 7%, from the prior year. Both end-of-period and average managed loans benefited from organic growth.
Net managed revenue was $11.3 billion, up by $269 million, or 2%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $9.1 billion, up by $193 million, or 2%, compared with the prior year. The increase in net interest income was driven by higher average loan balances and an increased level of fees. These benefits were offset partially by a narrower loan spread, the discontinuation of certain billing practices (including the elimination of over-limit fees and the two-cycle method for calculating finance charges) and increased revenue reversals, resulting from a higher level of charge-offs. Noninterest revenue was $2.2 billion, up by $76 million, or 4%, from the prior year. The increase reflects a higher level of fee-based revenue and increased net interchange income, benefiting from 5% higher charge volume. Charge volume reflects an approximate 10% growth rate in sales volume, offset partially by a lower level of balance transfers, the result of a more targeted marketing effort.
The Managed provision for credit losses was $3.9 billion, up by $606 million, or 18%, from the prior year. The prior year benefited from lower net charge-offs, following the change in bankruptcy legislation in the fourth quarter of 2005. The managed net charge-off rate increased to 3.61%, up from 3.29% in the prior year. The 30-day managed delinquency rate was 3.25%, up from 3.17% in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $3.7 billion, down by $54 million, or 1%, compared with the prior year, primarily due to lower marketing expense and lower fraud-related expense, offset partially by higher volume-related expense.

(a)  
JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of “managed receivables” to evaluate the credit performance and overall performance of the underlying credit card loans, both sold and not sold; as the same borrower is continuing to use the credit card for ongoing charges, a borrower’s credit performance will affect both the receivables sold under SFAS 140 and those not sold. Thus, in its disclosures regarding managed receivables, JPMorgan Chase treats the sold receivables as if they were still on the balance sheet in order to disclose the credit performance (such as Net charge-off rates) of the entire managed credit card portfolio. Managed results exclude the impact of credit card securitizations on Total net revenue, the Provision for credit losses, net charge-offs and loan receivables. Securitization does not change reported net income versus managed earnings; however, it does affect the classification of items on the Consolidated statements of income and Consolidated balance sheets. For further information, see Explanation and Reconciliation of the Firm’s Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures on pages 1316 of this Form 10-Q.

Quarterly results
Net income was $258 million, up by $27 million, or 12%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by growth in net revenue and lower noninterest expense, offset primarily by a higher Provision for credit losses.
Net revenue was $1.0 billion, up by $76 million, or 8%, from the prior year. Net interest income was $719 million, up by $42 million, or 6%. The increase was driven by double-digit growth in liability and loan balances, reflecting organic growth and the Bank of New York transaction, partially offset by a continued shift to narrower–spread liability products and spread compression in the loan and liability portfolios. Noninterest revenue was $290 million, up by $34 million, or 13%, primarily due to higher deposit-related fees and other income.
Middle Market Banking revenue was $680 million, an increase of $63 million, or 10%, from the prior year, due to the Bank of New York transaction, higher deposit-related fees, and growth in investment banking revenue. Mid-Corporate Banking revenue was $167 million, an increase of $7 million, or 4%. Real Estate Banking revenue was $108 million, a decrease of $11 million, or 9%.
The Provision for credit losses was $112 million, compared with $54 million in the prior year. The current-quarter provision largely reflected portfolio activity and growth in loan balances. The Allowance for loan losses to average loans retained was 2.67% for the current quarter, which decreased from 2.70% in the prior year. Nonperforming loans were $134 million, down 15% from the prior year. The net charge-off rate was 0.13% in the current quarter compared with 0.16% in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $473 million, down by $27 million, or 5%, from the prior year, as lower performance-based compensation expense was offset partially by higher volume-related expense.
Year-to-date results
Net income was $846 million, an increase of $92 million, or 12%, from the prior year due primarily to growth in net revenue, partially offset by higher Provision for credit losses.
Net revenue of $3.0 billion increased by $237 million, or 9%. Net interest income of $2.1 billion increased by $63 million, or 3%, driven by double-digit growth in liability balances and loans, which reflected organic growth and the Bank of New York transaction, largely offset by the continued shift to narrower–spread liability products and spread compression in the loan and

liability portfolios. Noninterest revenue was $937 million, up by $174 million, or 23%, due to higher investment banking-related revenues, increased deposit-related fees and gains related to the sale of securities acquired in the satisfaction of debt.
On a segment basis, Middle Market Banking revenue was $2.0 billion, an increase of $120 million, or 6%, primarily due to the Bank of New York transaction, growth in investment banking revenue and higher deposit-related fees. Mid-Corporate Banking revenue was $576 million, an increase of $118 million, or 26%, reflecting higher lending revenue, investment banking revenue, and gains on sales of securities acquired in the satisfaction of debt. Real Estate Banking revenue of $319 million decreased by $19 million, or 6%.
Provision for credit losses was $174 million, compared with $49 million in the prior year. The increase in the Allowance for credit losses reflected portfolio activity and growth in loan balances. The Allowance for loan losses to average loans was 2.75%, compared with 2.76% in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $1.5 billion, a decrease of $40 million, or 3%, largely due to lower compensation expense driven by the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R, partially offset by expense related to the Bank of New York transaction.

Quarterly results
Net income was a record $360 million, up by $104 million, or 41%, from the prior year, driven by record revenue offset partially by higher noninterest expense.
Net revenue was $1.7 billion, up by $249 million, or 17%, from the prior year. Worldwide Securities Services net revenue of $968 million was up by $166 million, or 21%. The growth was driven by increased product usage by new and existing clients and market appreciation, partially offset by spread compression and a shift to narrower-spread liability products. Treasury Services net revenue of $780 million was up by $83 million, or 12%, driven by growth in electronic volumes and higher liability balances. These benefits were offset partially by a continued shift to narrower-spread liability products. TSS firmwide net revenue, which includes Treasury Services net revenue recorded in other lines of business, grew to $2.4 billion, up by $308 million, or 15%. Treasury Services firmwide net revenue grew to $1.4 billion, up by $142 million, or 11%.
Noninterest expense was $1.1 billion, up by $70 million, or 7%, from the prior year. The increase was due to higher expense related to business and volume growth, as well as investment in new product platforms.
Year-to-date results
Net income was $975 million, up by $141 million, or 17%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by record revenue, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Net revenue was $5.0 billion, up by $443 million, or 10%, from the prior year. Worldwide Securities Services net revenue was $2.8 billion, up by $346 million, or 14%, driven by increased product usage by new and existing clients and market appreciation, partially offset by spread compression and a shift to narrower-spread liability products. Treasury Services net revenue was $2.2 billion, up by $97 million, or 5%, driven by growth in electronic volumes and higher liability balances. These benefits were offset partially by a continued shift to narrower-spread liability products. TSS firmwide net revenues, which includes Treasury Services net revenue recorded in other lines of business, grew to $6.9 billion, up by $538 million, or 8%. Treasury Services firmwide net revenue grew to $4.1 billion, up by $192 million, or 5%.

TSS firmwide metrics
TSS firmwide metrics include certain TSS product revenues and liability balances reported in other lines of business for customers who are also customers of those lines of business. In order to capture the firmwide impact of TS and TSS products and revenues, management reviews firmwide metrics such as liability balances, revenues and overhead ratios in assessing financial performance for TSS. Firmwide metrics are necessary in order to understand the aggregate TSS business.
(d)  
Firmwide revenue included TS revenue recorded in the CB, Regional Banking and AM lines of business (see below) and excluded FX revenues recorded in IB for TSS-related FX activity.

Quarterly results
Net income was a record $521 million, up by $175 million, or 51%, from the prior year. Results benefited from record net revenue offset partially by higher noninterest expense.
Net revenue was $2.2 billion, up by $569 million, or 35%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue, primarily fees and commissions, was $1.9 billion, up by $507 million, or 36%. This result was due largely to increased assets under management and higher performance and placement fees. Net interest income was $293 million, up by $62 million, or 27%, from the prior year, largely due to higher deposit and loan balances and wider deposit spreads.
Private Bank revenue grew 46%, to $686 million, due to higher asset management and placement fees, increased loan and deposit balances, and wider deposit spreads. Retail revenue grew 40%, to $639 million, primarily due to market appreciation and net asset inflows. Institutional revenue grew 30%, to $603 million, due to net asset inflows and performance fees. Private Client Services revenue grew 12%, to $277 million, due to increased revenue from higher assets under management and higher deposit balances.
The Provision for credit losses was $3 million, compared with a benefit of $28 million in the prior year, reflecting a higher level of recoveries in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $1.4 billion, up by $251 million, or 23%, from the prior year. The increase was due largely to higher compensation, primarily performance-based, and investments in all business segments.

Year-to-date results
Net income was a record $1.4 billion, up by $437 million, or 44%, from the prior year. Results benefited from record net revenue, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Net revenue was $6.2 billion, up by $1.4 billion, or 29%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue, primarily fees and commissions, was $5.4 billion, up by $1.3 billion, or 32%. This result was due largely to increased assets under management and higher performance and placement fees. Net interest income was $831 million, up by $106 million, or 15%, largely due to higher deposit and loan balances and slightly wider deposit spreads.
Private Bank revenue grew 37%, to $1.9 billion, due to higher asset management and placement fees, increased loan and deposit balances, and wider deposit spreads. Retail revenue grew 32%, to $1.8 billion, primarily due to market appreciation and net asset inflows. Institutional revenue grew 31%, to $1.8 billion, due to net asset inflows and performance fees. Private Client Services revenue grew 6%, to $815 million, due to increased revenue from higher assets under management and higher deposit balances, partially offset by a shift to narrower-spread deposit products.
The Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $17 million, compared with a benefit of $42 million in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $4.0 billion, up by $662 million, or 20%, from the prior year. The increase was due largely to higher compensation expense, primarily performance-based, investments in all business segments, and increased minority-interest expense related to Highbridge Capital Management. These factors were partially offset by the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R.

Held-for-investment prime mortgage loans transferred from AM to Treasury within the Corporate segment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, were $1.2 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively. There were no loans transferred during 2006. Although the loans, together with the responsibility for the investment management of the portfolio, were transferred to Treasury, the transfer has no material impact on the financial results of AM.

Assets under supervision
Assets under supervision were $1.5 trillion, up 22%, or $274 billion, from the prior year. Assets under management were $1.2 trillion, up 24%, or $228 billion, from the prior year. The increase was the result of net asset inflows into the Institutional segment, primarily in liquidity and alternative products; the Retail segment, primarily fixed income, equity and alternative products; the Private Bank segment, primarily in liquidity and alternative products; and from market appreciation. Custody, brokerage, administration and deposit balances were $376 billion, up by $46 billion.

(a)  
The Firm adopted SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2007. See Note 3 on pages 73–80 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
(b)  
2007 included the classification of certain private equity carried interest from Net revenue to Compensation expense.
(c)  
Included a gain of $115 million in the third quarter of 2007 related to the sale of MasterCard shares.
(d)  
The nine months ended September 30, 2006, included a gain of $103 million related to the sale of Mastercard shares in its initial public offering, which occurred during the second quarter of 2006.
(e)  
Included insurance recoveries related to settlement of the Enron and WorldCom class action litigations and for certain other material proceedings of $17 million and $375 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
(f)  
On October 1, 2006, the Firm completed the exchange of selected corporate trust businesses, including trustee, paying agent, loan agency and document-management services, for the consumer, business banking and middle-market banking businesses of The Bank of New York. The results of operations of these corporate trust businesses were reported as discontinued operations for 2006.
Quarterly results
Net income was $513 million, compared with $31 million in the prior year, benefiting from increased net revenue and lower noninterest expense. Prior-year results also included net income from discontinued operations of $65 million.
Net revenue was $1.0 billion, compared with $289 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by Private Equity gains of $766 million, compared with $226 million, reflecting a higher level of gains and the classification of certain private equity carried interest as compensation expense. Net revenue also increased due to higher trading-related gains and a $115 million gain from the sale of MasterCard shares. The increase in revenue was offset partially by a narrower net interest spread.

40


Table of Contents

Noninterest expense was $245 million, down by $236 million from the prior year. The decrease was driven by lower compensation expense and continuing business efficiencies. Partially offsetting the benefit of lower expense was the impact of the classification of certain private equity carried interest as compensation expense.
Year-to-date results
Net income was $1.5 billion, compared with net loss of $319 million in the prior year, benefiting from increased net revenue, partially offset by higher expense. Prior-year results also included net income from discontinued operations of $175 million.
Net revenue was $3.3 billion, compared with a negative $180 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by Private Equity gains of $3.4 billion, compared with $1.0 billion, reflecting a higher level of gains, the classification of certain private equity carried interest as compensation expense and a fair value adjustment on nonpublic investments resulting from the adoption of SFAS 157. Net revenue also increased due to a $115 million gain from the sale of MasterCard shares, lower securities losses and improved net interest income. Prior-year results included a $103 million gain related to the MasterCard initial public offering.
Noninterest expense was $1.1 billion, compared with $972 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by higher net legal costs, reflecting a lower level of recoveries and higher expense. In addition, expense increased due to the classification of certain private equity carried interest as compensation expense offset partially by business efficiencies.

(f)  
Unfunded commitments to third-party equity funds were $883 million and $589 million at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The carrying value of the private equity portfolio at September 30, 2007, was $6.6 billion, up $503 million from December 31, 2006. The portfolio increase was due primarily to favorable valuation adjustments on nonpublic investments and new investments, partially offset by sales activity. The portfolio represented 8.8% of the Firm’s stockholders’ equity less goodwill at September 30, 2007, up from 8.6% at December 31, 2006.

Consolidated balance sheets overview
At September 30, 2007, the Firm’s total assets were $1.5 trillion, an increase of $128.1 billion, or 9%, from December 31, 2006. Total liabilities were $1.4 trillion, an increase of $123.9 billion, or 10%, from December 31, 2006. Stockholders’ equity was $120.0 billion, an increase of $4.2 billion, or 4%, from December 31, 2006. The following is a discussion of the significant changes in balance sheet items from December 31, 2006.
Deposits with banks; Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements; Securities borrowed; Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements
The Firm utilizes Deposits with banks, Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, Securities borrowed, and Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements as part of its liquidity management activities to manage the Firm’s cash positions and risk-based capital requirements, and to support the Firm’s trading activities, including its risk management activities. In particular, Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements are used to maximize liquidity access and minimize funding costs. The increases from December 31, 2006, in Deposits with banks and Securities borrowed reflected higher levels of funds that were available for short-term investment opportunities and a higher volume of securities needed for trading purposes, respectively. Securities sold under repurchase agreements increased primarily due to higher short-term requirements to fund trading positions. For additional information on the Firm’s Liquidity risk management, see pages 49–51 of this Form 10-Q.
Trading assets and liabilities – debt and equity instruments
The Firm uses debt and equity trading instruments for both market-making and proprietary risk-taking activities. These instruments consist primarily of fixed income securities, including government and corporate debt; equity, including convertible securities; loans; and physical commodities. The increase in trading assets from December 31, 2006, was due primarily to the more active capital markets environment, with growth in client-driven market-making activities, particularly for debt securities. In addition, a total of $31.0 billion of loans are now accounted for at fair value under SFAS 159 and classified as trading assets in the Consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2007. The trading assets accounted for under SFAS 159 are primarily certain prime mortgage loans warehoused by RFS for sale or securitization purposes, and loans warehoused by IB. The decrease in trading liabilities reflects a lower volume of short positions on debt instruments, due to

42


Table of Contents

the difficult fixed income market environment that occurred during the third quarter of 2007. For additional information, refer to Note 4 and Note 5 on pages 80–83 and 83–85, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Trading assets and liabilities – derivative receivables and payables
The Firm utilizes various interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, credit and commodity derivatives for market-making, proprietary risk-taking and risk-management purposes. Derivative receivables increased $9.0 billion from December 31, 2006, primarily due to higher equity, credit derivative and foreign exchange receivables as a result of higher equity market levels, widening credit spreads and the decline in the U.S. dollar, respectively. The increase in derivative payables from December 31, 2006, was due primarily to higher payables on equity-related and foreign exchange derivatives due to the strength of the equities markets and the decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar, respectively. For additional information, refer to Derivative contracts and Note 5 on pages 56–58 and 83–85, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Securities
Almost all of the Firm’s securities portfolios are classified as AFS and are used primarily to manage the Firm’s exposure to interest rate movements. The AFS portfolio increased from December 31, 2006, primarily due to net purchases of securities by Treasury associated with managing the Firm’s exposure to interest rates. For additional information related to securities, refer to the Corporate segment discussion and to Note 11 on pages 40–41 and 89–90, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Loans
The Firm provides loans to customers of all sizes, from large corporate and institutional clients to individual consumers. The Firm manages the risk/reward relationship of each portfolio and discourages the retention of loan assets that do not generate a positive return above the cost of risk-adjusted capital. Loans, net of the Allowance for loan losses, rose slightly from December 31, 2006, primarily due to: business growth in wholesale lending activity, mainly in IB and CB; organic growth in the Home Equity portfolio; and the decision during the current quarter to retain rather than sell subprime mortgage loans. These increases were partly offset by a decline in consumer loans as certain prime mortgage loans originated after January 1, 2007, are classified as Trading assets and accounted for at fair value under SFAS 159. In addition, certain loans warehoused in IB were transferred to Trading assets on January 1, 2007, as part of the adoption of SFAS 159. Also contributing to the decrease were typical seasonal declines in credit card receivables, partially offset by organic growth. For a more detailed discussion of the loan portfolio and the Allowance for loan losses, refer to Credit risk management on pages 51–62 of this Form 10-Q.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises from business combinations and represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net fair value amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The increase in Goodwill primarily resulted from certain acquisitions by TSS and CS, and currency-translation adjustments on the Sears Canada credit card acquisition. These factors were partially offset by a reduction in Goodwill from the adoption of FIN 48, as well as adjustments for tax-related purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Bank One merger. For additional information see Notes 17 and 20 on pages 101 and 105, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Other intangible assets
The Firm’s other intangible assets consist of MSRs, purchased credit card relationships, other credit card–related intangibles, core deposit intangibles, and all other intangibles. The increase in Other intangible assets reflects higher MSRs of $1.6 billion primarily due to MSR additions from loan sales and MSR purchases. Partially offsetting these increases were other changes in the fair value of MSRs, related primarily to modeled mortgage servicing portfolio runoff (or time decay), and the amortization of intangibles, in particular, credit card business-related intangibles and core deposit intangibles. For additional information on MSRs and other intangible assets, see Note 17 on pages 101–103 of this Form 10-Q.
Deposits
The Firm’s deposits represent a liability to customers, both retail and wholesale, for funds held on their behalf. Deposits are generally classified by location (U.S. and non-U.S.), whether they are interest or noninterest-bearing, and by type (i.e., demand, money market deposit accounts (“MMDAs”), savings, time, negotiable order of withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts). Deposits help provide a stable and consistent source of funding for the Firm. Deposits increased from December 31, 2006, primarily reflecting wholesale deposits driven by net growth in business volumes, particularly, interest-bearing deposits within TSS and AM. For more information on deposits, refer to the RFS, TSS, and AM segment discussions and the Liquidity risk management discussion on pages 21–28, 35–36, 37–39, and 49–51, respectively, of this Form 10-Q. For more information on wholesale liability balances, including deposits, refer to the CB and TSS segment discussions on pages 33–34 and 35–36, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.

Commercial paper and other borrowed funds
The Firm utilizes Commercial paper and other borrowed funds as part of its liquidity management activities to cover short-term funding needs, as well as in connection with TSS’s cash management product in which clients’ excess funds, primarily in TSS, CB and RFS, are transferred into commercial paper overnight sweep accounts. The increases in Commercial paper and other borrowed funds were due primarily to growth in the volume of liability balances in sweep accounts, higher short-term requirements to fund trading positions and AFS securities inventory levels, and the Firm’s ongoing efforts to further build liquidity by increasing the amounts held of liquid securities and overnight investments that may be readily converted to cash. For additional information on the Firm’s Liquidity risk management, see pages 49–51 of this Form 10-Q.
Beneficial interests issued by consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”)
Beneficial interests issued by consolidated VIEs declined from December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of the restructuring during the first quarter of 2007 of a Firm-administered multi-seller conduit. For additional information related to multi-seller conduits, refer to Off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual cash obligations on pages 47–48 and Note 16 on pages 100–101 of this Form 10-Q.
Long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities
The Firm utilizes Long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities as part of its longer-term liquidity and capital management activities. Long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities increased from December 31, 2006, reflecting net new issuances, including client-driven structured notes in IB. For additional information on the Firm’s long-term debt activities, see the Liquidity risk management discussion on pages 49–51 of this Form 10-Q.
Stockholders’ equity
Total stockholders’ equity increased from year-end 2006 to $120.0 billion at September 30, 2007. The increase was primarily the result of Net income for the first nine months of 2007, net shares issued under the Firm’s employee stock-based compensation plans, and the cumulative effect on Retained earnings of changes in accounting principles of $915 million. These were offset partially by stock repurchases and the declaration of cash dividends. The $915 million increase in Retained earnings resulting from the adoption of new accounting principles primarily reflected $287 million related to SFAS 157, $199 million related to SFAS 159 and $436 million related to FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007. For a further discussion of capital, see the Capital management section that follows; for a further discussion of the accounting changes, see Accounting and Reporting Developments on pages 66–67, Note 3 on pages 73–80, Note 4 on pages 80–83 and Note 20 on page 105 of this Form 10-Q.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
 
The following discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s capital management highlights developments since December 31, 2006, and should be read in conjunction with Capital Management, on pages 57–59 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
The Firm’s capital management framework is intended to ensure that there is capital sufficient to support the underlying risks of the Firm’s business activities, as measured by economic risk capital, and to maintain “well-capitalized” status under regulatory requirements. In addition, the Firm holds capital above these requirements in amounts deemed appropriate to achieve management’s regulatory and debt rating objectives. The process of assigning equity to the lines of business is integrated into the Firm’s capital framework and is overseen by the Asset-Liability Committee (“ALCO”).
Line of business equity
Equity for a line of business represents the amount of capital the Firm believes the business would require if it were operating independently, incorporating sufficient capital to address economic risk measures, regulatory capital requirements and capital levels for similarly rated peers. Return on equity is measured and internal targets for expected returns are established as a key measure of a business segment’s performance. The Firm may revise its equity capital-allocation methodology in the future.
In accordance with SFAS 142, the lines of business perform the required Goodwill impairment testing. For a further discussion of Goodwill and impairment testing, see Critical accounting estimates and Note 16 on pages 85 and 121, respectively, of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report, and Note 17 on page 101 of this Form 10-Q.

The Firm’s banking regulator, the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), establishes capital requirements, including well-capitalized standards for the consolidated financial holding company. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) establishes similar capital requirements and standards for the Firm’s national banks, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Chase Bank USA, N.A.

Tier 1 capital was $86.1 billion at September 30, 2007, compared with $81.1 billion at December 31, 2006, an increase of $5.0 billion. The increase was due primarily to net income of $12.4 billion; net issuances of common stock under the Firm’s employee stock-based compensation plans of $3.0 billion; net issuances of $1.6 billion of qualifying trust preferred capital debt securities; and the effects of the adoption of new accounting principles reflecting increases of $287 million for SFAS 157, $199 million for SFAS 159 and $436 million for FIN 48. These increases were partially offset by decreases in Stockholders’ equity net of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) due to common stock repurchases of $8.0 billion and dividends declared of $3.8 billion. In addition, the change in capital reflects the exclusion of a $651 million valuation adjustment to certain liabilities pursuant to SFAS 157 to reflect the credit quality of the Firm. Additional information regarding the Firm’s capital ratios and the federal regulatory capital standards to which it is subject is presented in Note 26 on pages 129–130 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.

Stock repurchases
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007, under the respective stock repurchase programs then in effect, the Firm repurchased a total of 47.0 million and 164.6 million shares for $2.1 billion and $8.0 billion at an average price per share of $45.42 and $48.67, respectively. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, under the respective stock repurchase programs then in effect, the Firm repurchased a total of 20.0 million and 69.5 million shares for $900 million and $2.9 billion at an average price per share of $44.88 and $42.22, respectively.
On April 17, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 billion of the Firm’s common shares. The new authorization commenced April 19, 2007, and replaced the Firm’s previous $8.0 billion repurchase program. The new $10.0 billion authorization will be utilized at management’s discretion, and the timing of purchases and the exact number of shares purchased will depend on market conditions and alternative investment opportunities. The new repurchase program does not include specific price targets or timetables; may be executed through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or utilizing Rule 10b5-1 programs; and may be suspended at any time. For additional information regarding repurchases of the Firm’s equity securities, see Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, on pages 121–122 of this Form 10-Q.
 
OFF–BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS
 
Special-purpose entities
JPMorgan Chase is involved with several types of off–balance sheet arrangements, including special purpose entities (“SPEs”), lines of credit and loan commitments. The principal uses of SPEs are to obtain sources of liquidity for JPMorgan Chase and its clients by securitizing financial assets, and to create other investment products for clients. These arrangements are an important part of the financial markets, providing market liquidity by facilitating investors’ access to specific portfolios of assets and risks. For example, SPEs are integral to the markets for mortgage-backed securities, commercial paper and other asset-backed securities.
JPMorgan Chase is involved with SPEs in three broad categories: loan securitizations, multi-seller conduits and client intermediation. Capital is held, as deemed appropriate, against all SPE-related transactions and related exposures, such as derivative transactions and lending-related commitments. For further discussion of SPEs and the Firm’s accounting for these types of exposures, see Note 1 on pages 72–73 of this Form 10-Q and Note 14 on pages 114–118 and Note 15 on pages 118–120 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
For certain liquidity commitments to SPEs, the Firm could be required to provide funding if the short-term credit rating of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., were downgraded below specific levels, primarily P-1, A-1 and F1 for Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, respectively. The amounts of these liquidity commitments were $96.9 billion and $74.4 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. These liquidity commitments are generally included in the Firm’s other unfunded commitments to extend credit and asset purchase agreements, as shown in the table on the following page. Alternatively, if JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. were downgraded, the Firm could be replaced by another liquidity provider in lieu of providing funding under the liquidity commitment, or, in certain circumstances, could facilitate the sale or refinancing of the assets in the SPE in order to provide liquidity. For further information, refer to Note 15 on pages 118–120 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
The Firm also has exposure to certain SPEs arising from derivative transactions; these transactions are recorded at fair value on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value (i.e., mark-to-market (“MTM”) gains and losses) recorded in Principal transactions revenue. Such MTM gains and losses are not included in the revenue amounts reported in the following table.
The following table summarizes certain revenue information related to consolidated and nonconsolidated VIEs with which the Firm has significant involvement, and qualifying SPEs (“QSPEs”). The revenue reported in the table below primarily represents servicing and credit fee income.

Off–balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees
JPMorgan Chase utilizes lending-related financial instruments (e.g., commitments and guarantees) to meet the financing needs of its customers. The contractual amount of these financial instruments represents the maximum possible credit risk should the counterparty draw down the commitment or the Firm be required to fulfill its obligation under the guarantee, and the counterparty subsequently fail to perform according to the terms of the contract. Most of these commitments and guarantees expire without a default occurring or without being drawn. As a result, the total contractual amount of these instruments is not, in the Firm’s view, representative of its actual future credit exposure or funding requirements. Further, certain commitments, primarily related to consumer financings, are cancelable, upon notice, at the option of the Firm. For further discussion of lending-related commitments and guarantees and the Firm’s accounting for them, see Credit risk management on pages 64–76 and Note 29 on pages 132–134 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
The following table presents off–balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees for the periods indicated.

RISK MANAGEMENT
 
Risk is an inherent part of JPMorgan Chase’s business activities. The Firm’s risk management framework and governance structure are intended to provide comprehensive controls and ongoing management of the major risks inherent in its business activities. In addition, this framework recognizes the diversity among the Firm’s core businesses, which helps reduce the impact of volatility in any particular area on the Firm’s operating results as a whole. There are eight major risk types identified in the business activities of the Firm: liquidity risk, credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, operational risk, legal and reputation risk, fiduciary risk and private equity risk.
For further discussion of these risks see pages 61–82 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
 
The following discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s liquidity management framework highlights developments since December 31, 2006, and should be read in conjunction with pages 62–63 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
Liquidity risk arises from the general funding needs of the Firm’s activities and in the management of its assets and liabilities. JPMorgan Chase’s liquidity management framework is intended to maximize liquidity access and minimize funding costs. Through active liquidity management, the Firm seeks to preserve stable, reliable and cost-effective sources of funding. This access enables the Firm to replace maturing obligations when due and fund assets at appropriate maturities and rates. To accomplish this, management uses a variety of methods to mitigate liquidity and related risks, taking into consideration market conditions, prevailing interest rates, liquidity needs and the desired maturity profile of liabilities, among other factors.
Funding
Sources of funds
As of September 30, 2007, the Firm’s liquidity position remained strong based upon its liquidity metrics. JPMorgan Chase’s long-dated funding, including core liabilities, exceeded illiquid assets, and the Firm believes its obligations can be met even if access to funding is impaired.
Consistent with its liquidity management policy, the Firm has raised funds at the Parent company level in excess of its obligations and those of its nonbank subsidiaries that mature over the next 12 months.
The diversity of the Firm’s funding sources enhances financial flexibility and limits dependence on any one source, thereby minimizing the cost of funds. The deposits held by the RFS, CB, TSS and AM lines of business are generally a consistent source of funding for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. As of September 30, 2007, total deposits for the Firm were $678.1 billion. A significant portion of the Firm’s deposits are retail deposits, which are less sensitive to interest rate changes and therefore are considered more stable than market-based wholesale deposits. The Firm also benefits from stable wholesale liability balances originated by RFS, CB, TSS and AM through the normal course of business. Such liability balances include deposits that are swept to on–balance sheet liabilities (e.g., commercial paper, Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements). These liability balances are also a stable and consistent source of funding due to the nature of the businesses from which they are generated. For further discussions of deposit and liability balance trends, see the discussion of the results for the Firm’s business segments and the Balance Sheet Analysis on pages 17–39 and 42–44, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Additional sources of unsecured funds include a variety of short- and long-term instruments, including federal funds purchased, commercial paper, bank notes, long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities. This funding is managed centrally, using regional expertise and local market access, to ensure active participation by the Firm in the global financial markets while maintaining consistent global pricing. These markets serve as cost-effective and diversified sources of funds and are critical components of the Firm’s liquidity management. Decisions concerning the timing and tenor of accessing these markets are based upon relative costs, general market conditions, prospective views of balance sheet growth and a targeted liquidity profile.
Funding flexibility is also provided by the Firm’s ability to access secured funding from the repurchase and asset securitization markets. These markets are evaluated on an ongoing basis to achieve an appropriate balance of secured and unsecured funding. The ability to securitize loans, and the associated gains on those securitizations, are principally dependent upon the credit quality and yields of the assets securitized and are generally not dependent upon the credit ratings of the issuing entity. Transactions between the Firm and its securitization structures are reflected in JPMorgan Chase’s consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements. These relationships include retained interests in securitization trusts, liquidity facilities and derivative transactions. For further details, see Off–balance sheet arrangements and contractual cash obligations, Note 15 and Note 23 on pages 47–48, 94–99 and 106–107, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Issuance
During the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, JPMorgan Chase issued $24.2 billion and $77.1 billion, respectively, of long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities. These issuances included IB structured notes, the issuances of which are generally client-driven and not for funding or capital management purposes as the proceeds are generally used to fund securities which mitigate risk associated with structured note exposures. The issuances of long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities were offset partially by $10.0 billion and $40.4 billion, respectively, of debt and trust preferred securities that matured or were redeemed during the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, including IB structured notes. The increase in long-term debt and trust preferred capital securities was used primarily to fund certain illiquid assets held by the Parent company and to build liquidity. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, Commercial paper increased $8.9 billion and $15.1 billion, respectively, and Other borrowed funds increased $1.9 billion and $13.1 billion, respectively.

Table of Contents

The growth in both Commercial paper and Other borrowed funds was used to further build liquidity by increasing the amounts held of liquid securities and overnight investments that may be readily converted to cash. In addition, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2007, the Firm securitized $3.8 billion and $27.7 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage loans; $3.5 billion and $14.2 billion, respectively, of credit card loans; and $1.2 billion of education loans in the third quarter of 2007. The Firm did not securitize any auto loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. For further discussion of loan securitizations, see Note 15 on pages 94–99 of this Form 10-Q.
In connection with the issuance of certain of its trust preferred capital debt securities, the Firm has entered into Replacement Capital Covenants (“RCCs”) granting certain rights to the holders of “covered debt,” as defined in the RCCs, that prohibit the repayment, redemption or purchase of the trust preferred capital debt securities except, with limited exceptions, to the extent that JPMorgan Chase has received specified amounts of proceeds from the sale of certain qualifying securities. Currently the Firm’s covered debt is its 5.875% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures, Series O, due in 2035. For more information regarding these covenants, reference is made to the respective RCCs entered into by the Firm in connection with the issuances of such trust preferred capital debt securities, which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under cover of Forms 8-K.
Cash Flows
Cash and due from banks decreased $7.6 billion in the first nine months of 2007 compared with a decrease of $391 million in the first nine months of 2006. A discussion of the significant changes in Cash and due from banks during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, follows:
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, net cash used in operating activities was $81.3 billion and $35.1 billion, respectively. JPMorgan Chase’s operating assets and liabilities support the Firm’s capital markets and lending activities, including the origination or purchase of loans held-for-sale. The amount and timing of cash flows related to the Firm’s operating activities may vary significantly in the normal course of business as a result of the level of client-driven activities, market conditions and trading strategies. Management believes cash flows from operations, available cash balances and short- and long-term borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Firm’s operating liquidity needs.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The Firm’s investing activities are primarily transactions involving loans initially designated as held-for-investment, other receivables, and AFS investment securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash of $41.3 billion was used in investing activities, primarily for purchases of investment securities in Treasury’s AFS portfolio to manage the Firm’s exposure to interest rates; net additions to the wholesale and consumer (primarily home equity) loans held-for-investment; and to increase Deposits with banks as a result of the availability of cash for short-term investment opportunities. These uses of cash were partially offset by cash proceeds received from: sales and maturities of AFS securities; credit card, residential mortgage, education and wholesale loan sales and securitization activities; and the typical seasonal decline in consumer credit card receivables as customer payments exceeded new loans generated from customer charges.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net cash of $105.6 billion was used in investing activities. Net cash was invested to fund: purchases of Treasury’s AFS securities in connection with repositioning the portfolio in response to changes in interest rates; net additions to the retained wholesale loan portfolio, mainly resulting from capital markets activity in IB (including leveraged financings associated with mergers and acquisitions and syndications activities); net additions in retail home equity loans; the acquisition in the second quarter of a private-label credit card portfolio; and the acquisition of Collegiate Funding Services, a leader in education loan servicing and consolidation, on March 1, 2006. These uses of cash were partially offset by cash proceeds provided from: sales and maturities of AFS securities; credit card, residential mortgage, auto and wholesale loan sales and securitization activities; the net decline in auto loans and leases, which was caused partially by the de-emphasis of vehicle leasing and the sale of the insurance business on July 1, 2006.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The Firm’s financing activities are primarily transactions involving customer deposits and its debt, common stock and preferred stock. In the first nine months of 2007, net cash provided by financing activities was $114.7 billion due to: a net increase in wholesale deposits from growth in business volumes, in particular, interest-bearing deposits at TSS and AM; net issuances of Long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities to fund certain liquid assets held by the Parent company and to build liquidity; growth in Commercial paper issuances and Other borrowed funds to further build liquidity; and an increase in securities sold under repurchase agreements in connection with the funding of trading and AFS securities positions. Cash was used to repurchase common stock and to pay dividends.

In the first nine months of 2006, net cash provided by financing activities was $140.1 billion due to: net cash received from growth in deposits reflecting, on the retail side, new account acquisitions and the ongoing expansion of the retail branch distribution network, and on the wholesale side, higher business volumes; increases in securities sold under repurchase agreements to fund trading positions and higher levels of AFS securities positions; and net issuances of Long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities. The net cash provided was partially offset by cash used for common stock repurchases and the payment of cash dividends on common and preferred stock.
Credit ratings
The credit ratings of JPMorgan Chase’s parent holding company and each of its significant banking subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007, were as follows.
                         
    Short-term debt   Senior long-term debt
    Moody’s   S&P   Fitch   Moody’s   S&P   Fitch
 
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
  P-1   A-1+   F1+   Aa2   AA-   AA-
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
  P-1   A-1+   F1+   Aaa   AA   AA-
Chase Bank USA, N.A.
  P-1   A-1+   F1+   Aaa   AA   AA-
 
On March 2, 2007, Moody’s raised senior long-term debt ratings on JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the operating bank subsidiaries to Aa2 and Aaa, respectively, from Aa3 and Aa2, respectively. The cost and availability of unsecured financing are influenced by credit ratings. A reduction in these ratings could have an adverse effect on the Firm’s access to liquidity sources, increase the cost of funds, trigger additional collateral requirements and decrease the number of investors and counterparties willing to lend. Critical factors in maintaining high credit ratings include a stable and diverse earnings stream, strong capital ratios, strong credit quality and risk management controls, diverse funding sources and disciplined liquidity monitoring procedures.
If the Firm’s ratings were downgraded by one notch, the Firm estimates the incremental cost of funds and the potential loss of funding to be negligible. Additionally, the Firm estimates the additional funding requirements for VIEs and other third-party commitments associated with a one notch downgrade would not be material. For additional information on the impact of a credit ratings downgrade on the funding requirements for VIEs, and on derivatives and collateral agreements, see Special-purpose entities on page 47 and Ratings profile of derivative receivables MTM on pages 56–57 of this Form 10-Q.
 
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
 
The following discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s credit portfolio as of September 30, 2007, highlights developments since December 31, 2006. This section should be read in conjunction with pages 64–76 and page 83, and Notes 12, 13, 29, and 30 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report, and Notes 13, 14, and 23 on pages 91–94 and 106–107, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
The Firm assesses its consumer credit exposure on a managed basis, which includes credit card receivables that have been securitized. For a reconciliation of the Provision for credit losses on a reported basis to managed basis, see pages 13–16 of this Form 10-Q.
 
CREDIT PORTFOLIO
 
The following table presents JPMorgan Chase’s credit portfolio as of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006. Total credit exposure at September 30, 2007, increased by $145.8 billion from December 31, 2006, reflecting an increase of $99.7 billion and $46.1 billion in the wholesale and consumer credit portfolios, respectively. During the first nine months of 2007 lending-related commitments increased $130.9 billion ($76.7 billion and $54.2 billion in the wholesale and consumer portfolios, respectively), derivatives increased $9.0 billion and managed loans increased $5.9 billion ($14.0 billion increase in wholesale partially offset by an $8.1 billion decrease in consumer). RFS loans accounted for at lower of cost or fair value declined, as prime mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell after January 1, 2007, are classified as Trading assets and accounted for at fair value under SFAS 159. In addition, certain loans warehoused in IB were transferred to Trading assets on January 1, 2007, as part of the adoption of SFAS 159. Also effective January 1, 2007, $24.7 billion of prime mortgages held-for-investment purposes were transferred from RFS ($19.4 billion) and AM ($5.3 billion) to the Corporate sector for risk management purposes. While this transfer had no impact on the RFS, AM or Corporate financial results, the AM prime mortgages that were transferred are now reported in consumer mortgage loans.

WHOLESALE CREDIT PORTFOLIO
 
As of September 30, 2007, wholesale exposure (IB, CB, TSS and AM) had increased by $99.7 billion, or 16%, from December 31, 2006, primarily due to a $76.7 billion increase in lending-related commitments and a $14.0 billion increase in loans. The increase in overall lending activity was partly due to growth in leveraged lending funded and unfunded exposures, mainly in IB. Partly offsetting these increases was the first quarter transfer of $11.7 billion of loans warehoused in IB to Trading assets upon the adoption of SFAS 159. Derivative receivables increased $9.0 billion primarily due to higher receivables on equity-related and credit derivatives.

Wholesale credit exposure – selected industry concentration
The Firm continues to focus on the management and diversification of its industry concentrations, with particular attention paid to industries with actual or potential credit concerns. At September 30, 2007, the top 10 industries were the same as those at December 31, 2006. The increases in Asset managers, Utilities, Oil and gas, and Retail and consumer services were primarily due to portfolio growth. In addition, Asset managers also increased by $4.3 billon during the third quarter of 2007 as the Firm revised its industry classification to better reflect risk correlations and enhance the Firm’s management of industry risk. Below is a summary of the Top 10 industry concentrations as of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006.

Derivative contracts
In the normal course of business, the Firm uses derivative instruments to meet the needs of customers; to generate revenues through trading activities; to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, currencies and other markets; and to manage the Firm’s credit exposure. For further discussion of these contracts, see Note 22 on page 106 of this Form 10-Q, and Derivative contracts on pages 69–72 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
The following table summarizes the aggregate notional amounts and the net derivative receivables MTM for the periods presented.

(c)  
The notional amount of the Firm’s derivative contracts outstanding significantly exceeded, in the Firm’s view, the possible credit losses that could arise from such transactions. For most derivative transactions, the notional amount does not change hands: it is used simply as a reference to calculate payments. The appropriate measure of current credit risk is, in the Firm’s view, the mark-to-market value of the contract.
The amount of Derivative receivables reported on the Consolidated balance sheets of $64.6 billion and $55.6 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively, is the amount of the mark-to-market (“MTM”) or fair value of the derivative contracts after giving effect to legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral held by the Firm and represents the cost to the Firm to replace the contracts at current market rates should the counterparty default. However, in management’s view, the appropriate measure of current credit risk should also reflect additional liquid securities held as collateral by the Firm of $7.4 billion and $6.6 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively, resulting in total exposure, net of all collateral, of $57.2 billion and $49.0 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. Derivative receivables increased $9.0 billion from December 31, 2006, primarily due to higher equity, credit derivative and foreign exchange receivables as a result of higher equity market levels, widening credit spreads and the decline in the U.S. dollar, respectively.
The Firm also holds additional collateral delivered by clients at the initiation of transactions, but this collateral does not reduce the credit risk of the Derivative receivables in the table above. This additional collateral secures potential exposure that could arise in the derivatives portfolio should the MTM of the client’s transactions move in the Firm’s favor. As of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the Firm held $14.5 billion and $12.3 billion of this additional collateral, respectively. The derivative receivables MTM, net of all collateral, also does not include other credit enhancements in the forms of letters of credit and surety receivables.

The Firm actively pursues the use of collateral agreements to mitigate counterparty credit risk in derivatives. The percentage of the Firm’s derivatives transactions subject to collateral agreements decreased slightly to 79%, as of September 30, 2007, from 80% at December 31, 2006.
The Firm posted $32.8 billion and $26.6 billion of collateral at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. Certain derivative and collateral agreements include provisions that require the counterparty and/or the Firm, upon specified downgrades in their respective credit ratings, to post collateral for the benefit of the other party. The impact of a single-notch ratings downgrade to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., from its rating of AA to AA- at September 30, 2007, would have required $308 million of additional collateral to be posted by the Firm. The impact of a six-notch ratings downgrade (from AA to BBB) would have required $3.2 billion of additional collateral. Certain derivative contracts also provide for termination of the contract, generally upon a downgrade of either the Firm or the counterparty, at the then-existing MTM value of the derivative contracts.
Credit derivatives
The following table presents the Firm’s notional amounts of credit derivatives protection purchased and sold as of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006.

(a)  
Included $22.7 billion at both September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, that represented the notional amount for structured portfolio protection; the Firm retains a minimal first risk of loss on this portfolio.
In managing wholesale credit exposure, the Firm purchases single-name and portfolio credit derivatives; this activity does not reduce the reported level of assets on the balance sheet or the level of reported off–balance sheet commitments. The Firm also diversifies exposures by providing (i.e., selling) credit protection, which increases exposure to industries or clients where the Firm has little or no client-related exposure. This activity is not material to the Firm’s overall credit exposure.
JPMorgan Chase has counterparty exposure as a result of credit derivatives transactions. Of the $64.6 billion of total Derivative receivables MTM at September 30, 2007, $10.7 billion, or 17%, was associated with credit derivatives, before the benefit of liquid securities collateral.
Dealer/client
At September 30, 2007, the total notional amount of protection purchased and sold in the dealer/client business increased $3.1 trillion from year-end 2006 as a result of increased trade volume in the market. The risk positions are largely matched when securities used to risk-manage certain derivative positions are taken into consideration and the notional amounts are adjusted to a duration-based equivalent or to reflect different degrees of subordination in tranched structures.

The credit derivatives used by JPMorgan Chase for credit portfolio management activities do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133, and therefore, effectiveness testing under SFAS 133 is not performed. These derivatives are reported at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in Principal transactions revenue. The MTM value incorporates both the cost of credit derivative premiums and changes in value due to movement in spreads and credit events; in contrast, the loans and lending-related commitments being risk-managed are accounted for on an accrual basis. Loan interest and fees are generally recognized in Net interest income, and impairment is recognized in the Provision for credit losses. This asymmetry in accounting treatment, between loans and lending-related commitments and the credit derivatives utilized in credit portfolio management activities, causes earnings volatility that is not representative, in the Firm’s view, of the true changes in value of

the Firm’s overall credit exposure. The MTM related to the Firm’s credit derivatives used for managing credit exposure, as well as the MTM related to the credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”), which reflects the credit quality of derivatives counterparty exposure, are included in the table below. These results can vary from period to period due to market conditions that impact specific positions in the portfolio.

Excludes gains of $101 million and $16 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and $312 million and $19 million of gains year-to-date 2007 and 2006, respectively, of other Principal transaction revenue that are not associated with hedging activities. The Firm adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2007, which incorporated adjusting the valuation of the Firm’s derivative liabilities.
The Firm also actively manages wholesale credit exposure primarily through IB loan and commitment sales. During the third quarter of 2007 and 2006, these sales of $727 million and $805 million of loans and commitments, respectively, resulted in losses of $2 million and gains of $27 million, respectively. During the first nine months of 2007 and 2006, these sales of $3.8 billion and $2.4 billion of loans and commitments, respectively, resulted in losses of $14 million and gains of $67 million, respectively. These results include gains on sales of nonperforming loans, as discussed on page 53 of this Form 10-Q. These activities are not related to the Firm’s securitization activities, which are undertaken for liquidity and balance sheet management purposes. For further discussion of securitization activity, see Liquidity Risk Management and Note 15 on pages 49–51, and 94–99, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Lending-related commitments
Wholesale lending-related commitments were $468.1 billion at September 30, 2007, compared with $391.4 billion at December 31, 2006. The increase reflected greater overall lending activity including growth in unfunded leveraged lending exposures. In the Firm’s view, the total amount of these instruments is not representative of the Firm’s actual credit risk exposure or funding requirements. In determining the amount of credit risk exposure the Firm has to wholesale lending-related commitments, which is used as the basis for allocating credit risk capital to these instruments, the Firm has established a “loan-equivalent” amount for each commitment; this amount represents the portion of the unused commitment or other contingent exposure that is expected, based upon average portfolio historical experience, to become outstanding in the event of a default by an obligor. The loan-equivalent amount of the Firm’s lending-related commitments was $256.6 billion and $212.3 billion as of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Emerging markets country exposure
The Firm has a comprehensive internal process for measuring and managing exposures and risk in emerging markets countries – defined as those countries potentially vulnerable to sovereign events. As of September 30, 2007, based upon its internal methodology, the Firm’s exposure to any individual emerging-markets country was not significant, in that total exposure to any such country did not exceed 0.75% of the Firm’s total assets. In evaluating and managing its exposures to emerging markets countries, the Firm takes into consideration all credit-related lending, trading, and investment activities, whether cross-border or locally funded. Exposure amounts are then adjusted for credit enhancements (e.g., guarantees and letters of credit) provided by third parties located outside the country, if the enhancements fully cover the country risk as well as the credit risk. For information regarding the Firm’s cross-border exposure based upon guidelines of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”), see Part 1, Item 1, “Loan portfolio, Cross-border outstandings,” on page 155, of the Firm’s 2006 Annual Report.
 
CONSUMER CREDIT PORTFOLIO
 
JPMorgan Chase’s consumer portfolio consists primarily of residential mortgages, home equity loans, credit cards, auto loans and leases, education loans and business banking loans, and reflects the benefit of diversification from both a product and a geographic perspective. The primary focus is serving the prime consumer credit market. RFS offers home equity lines of credit and mortgage loans with interest-only payment options to predominantly prime borrowers; there are no products in the real estate portfolios that result in negative amortization. The Firm actively manages its consumer credit operation. Ongoing efforts include continual review and enhancement of credit underwriting criteria and refinement of pricing and risk management models.

(f)  
Excludes nonperforming assets related to (1) loans eligible for repurchase as well as loans repurchased from GNMA pools that are insured by U.S. government agencies of $1.3 billion for September 30, 2007, and $1.2 billion for December 31, 2006, and (2) education loans that are 90 days past due and still accruing, which are insured by U.S. government agencies under the Federal Family Education Loan Program of $241 million and $219 million as of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. These amounts for GNMA and education loans are excluded, as reimbursement is proceeding normally.
(g)  
Net charge-off rates exclude average loans held-for-sale of $5.4 billion and $14.0 billion for the quarters ended September 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and $12.9 billion and $14.4 billion year-to-date 2007 and 2006, respectively.
(h)  
Includes nonperforming loans held-for-sale of $116 million at December 31, 2006.
Total managed consumer loans as of September 30, 2007, were $358.2 billion, down from $366.3 billion at year-end 2006, reflecting the classification of a portion of mortgage loans as Trading Assets as a result of adopting SFAS 159, and the seasonal decrease of credit card loans. These decreases were offset partially by organic growth in the home equity loan portfolio and the decision to retain rather than sell subprime mortgage loans and new originations of prime mortgage loans that cannot be sold to

Table of Contents

U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Consumer lending–related commitments increased 7%, to $801.7 billion at September 30, 2007, primarily reflecting growth in credit cards and home equity lines of credit.
The Firm regularly evaluates market conditions and overall economic returns and makes an initial determination of whether new originations will be held-for-investment or sold within the foreseeable future. The Firm also periodically evaluates the overall economic returns of its held-for-investment loan portfolio under prevailing market conditions to determine whether to retain or sell loans in the portfolio. When it is determined that a loan that was previously classified as held-for-investment will be sold, it is transferred to held-for-sale. During the current quarter, due to changes in market conditions and the economic returns of certain mortgage loans, the Firm designated as held-for-investment new originations of subprime mortgage loans and previously designated held-for-sale subprime mortgage loans. In addition, all new prime mortgage originations that cannot be sold to U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises have been designated as held-for-investment. Prime mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell are accounted for at fair value under SFAS 159 and are classified as Trading assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following discussion relates to the specific loan and lending-related categories within the consumer portfolio.
Home equity: Home equity loans at September 30, 2007, were $93.0 billion, an increase of $7.3 billion from year-end 2006. The change in the portfolio from December 31, 2006, reflected organic growth. The Allowance for loan losses for the Home equity portfolio was increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, as continued weak housing prices have resulted in an increase in estimated losses for high loan-to-value loans. During the third quarter, the origination of subprime home equity loans was discontinued and loss mitigation activities continued to be intensified to actively manage risks in this portfolio. In addition, underwriting standards have been tightened and pricing actions have been implemented to reflect elevated risks related to new originations in the prime home equity portfolio.
Mortgage: Prior to the third quarter, subprime mortgage loans and substantially all of the Firm’s prime and low documentation mortgages, both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, were originated with the intent to sell. Prime mortgage loans originated into the held-for-investment portfolio consisted primarily of adjustable rate products. As a result of the decision to retain rather than sell subprime mortgage loans and new originations of prime mortgage loans that cannot be sold to U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate products are now being originated into the held-for-investment portfolio. Subprime mortgages have been designated as held-for-investment. Mortgages, irrespective of whether they are originated with the intent to sell or hold-for-investment, are underwritten to the same standards applicable to the respective type of mortgage.
Mortgage loans at September 30, 2007, were $47.7 billion, reflecting an $11.9 billion decrease from year-end 2006, primarily due to the change in classification to Trading assets for prime mortgages originated with the intent to sell and elected to be fair valued under SFAS 159. As of September 30, 2007, approximately 75% of the outstanding mortgage loans on the Consolidated balance sheet related to the prime market segment. As a result, the Firm deems its exposure to subprime mortgages manageable. During the first quarter of 2007, the Provision for credit losses was increased and underwriting standards were tightened to reflect management’s expectation of elevated credit losses in the subprime market segment. The subprime mortgage portfolio’s credit performance during the second and third quarters was consistent with the first-quarter expectations. However, during the third quarter of 2007, the provision for subprime mortgage loans was increased as a result of the decision to retain rather than sell subprime mortgage loans.
Auto loans and leases: As of September 30, 2007, Auto loans and leases of $40.9 billion were down slightly from year-end 2006. The Allowance for loan losses for the Auto loan portfolio was increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, reflecting an increase in estimated losses from low prior-year levels. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Allowance for loan losses for this loan portfolio did not change significantly.
Credit card: JPMorgan Chase analyzes its credit card portfolio on a managed basis, which includes credit card receivables on the Consolidated balance sheets and those receivables sold to investors through securitization. Managed credit card receivables were $149.1 billion at September 30, 2007, a decrease of $3.8 billion from year-end 2006, reflecting the typical seasonal pattern of outstanding loans, partially offset by organic growth.
The managed credit card net charge-off rate increased to 3.64% and 3.61% in the third quarter of 2007 and first nine months of 2007, respectively, from 3.58% and 3.29% in the comparable prior periods. This increase was due primarily to lower bankruptcy-related net charge-offs in 2006. The 30-day delinquency rate increased slightly to 3.25% at September 30, 2007, from 3.17% at September 30, 2006. During the first nine months of 2007, the delinquency rate was lower than the rate prior to bankruptcy reform. The managed credit card portfolio continues to reflect a well-seasoned portfolio that has good U.S. geographic diversification.

All other loans: All other loans primarily include Business Banking loans (which are highly collateralized loans, often with personal loan guarantees), Education loans, Community Development loans and other secured and unsecured consumer loans. As of September 30, 2007, Other loans of $27.6 billion were up slightly from year-end 2006.
 
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
 
For a further discussion of the components of the Allowance for credit losses, see Critical accounting estimates used by the Firm on page 83 and Note 13 on pages 113–114 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. At September 30, 2007, management deemed the Allowance for credit losses to be appropriate (i.e., sufficient to absorb losses that are inherent in the portfolio, including losses that are not specifically identified or for which the size of the loss has not yet been fully determined).

Prior periods have been revised to reflect the current presentation.
The Firm’s overall Allowance for credit losses of $9.0 billion, increased by $1.2 billion, when compared with December 31, 2006.
The Allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2007, increased $834 million, or 11%, when compared with December 31, 2006, largely due to higher estimated losses relating to home equity and subprime mortgage loans. Excluding Loans held-for-sale and loans carried at fair value, the Allowance for loan losses represented 1.76% of loans at September 30, 2007, compared with 1.70% at December 31, 2006.
The Allowance for lending-related commitments of $858 million, increased by $334 million, when compared with December 31, 2006, largely due to portfolio activities and growth, mainly in IB.

Provision for credit losses
For a discussion of the reported Provision for credit losses, see page 11 of this Form 10-Q. The Managed provision for credit losses includes credit card securitizations. The increase in the Provision for credit losses was due to an increase in the Allowance for credit losses largely related to home equity loans, higher net charge-offs in the consumer businesses and portfolio growth in the wholesale businesses. The prior-year quarter and year-to-date periods benefited from a lower level of credit card net charge-offs, which reflected a lower level of losses following the change in bankruptcy legislation in the fourth quarter of 2005.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
 
For discussion of the Firm’s market risk management organization, see pages 77–80 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
Value-at-risk (“VAR”)
JPMorgan Chase’s primary statistical risk measure, VAR, estimates the potential loss from adverse market moves in an ordinary market environment and provides a consistent cross-business measure of risk profiles and levels of diversification. VAR is used for comparing risks across businesses, monitoring limits, one-off approvals, and as an input to economic capital calculations. VAR provides risk transparency in a normal trading environment. Each business day the Firm undertakes a comprehensive VAR calculation that includes both its trading and its nontrading risks. VAR for nontrading risk measures the amount of potential change in the fair values of the exposures related to these risks; however, for such risks, VAR is not a measure of reported revenue since nontrading activities are generally not marked to market through Net income.

Table of Contents

To calculate VAR, the Firm uses historical simulation, which measures risk across instruments and portfolios in a consistent and comparable way. This approach assumes that historical changes in market values are representative of future changes. The simulation is based upon data for the previous twelve months. The Firm calculates VAR using a one-day time horizon and an expected tail-loss methodology, which approximates a 99% confidence level. This means the Firm would expect to incur losses greater than that predicted by VAR estimates only once in every 100 trading days, or about two to three times a year. For a further discussion of the Firm’s VAR methodology, see Market Risk management – Value-at-risk, on pages 77–80 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.

(a)  
Trading VAR includes substantially all trading activities in IB. Trading VAR does not include VAR related to the DVA taken on derivative and structured liabilities to reflect the credit quality of the Firm. See the DVA Sensitivity table on page 64 of this Form 10-Q for further details. Trading VAR also does not include the MSR portfolio or VAR related to other corporate functions, such as Treasury and Private Equity. For a discussion of MSRs and the corporate functions, see Note 17 on pages 101–102, Note 3 on page 76 and Corporate on pages 40–41 of this Form 10-Q.
(b)  
Includes VAR on derivative credit valuation adjustments, hedges of the credit valuation adjustment and mark-to-market hedges of the retained loan portfolio, which are all reported in Principal transactions revenue. For a discussion of credit valuation adjustments, see Note 3 on pages 73–80 of this Form 10-Q. This VAR does not include the retained loan portfolio.
(c)  
Average and period-end VARs were less than the sum of the VARs of their market risk components, which was due to risk offsets resulting from portfolio diversification. The diversification effect reflected the fact that the risks were not perfectly correlated. The risk of a portfolio of positions is therefore usually less than the sum of the risks of the positions themselves.
(d)  
Designated as not meaningful (“NM”) because the minimum and maximum may occur on different days for different risk components, and hence it is not meaningful to compute a portfolio diversification effect.
IB’s average Total trading and credit portfolio VAR for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $107 million and $100 million, respectively, compared with $89 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Average VAR was higher for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007 than the same periods of the prior year reflecting an increase in market volatility, most notably in fixed income and equity markets. The reduction in Commodities and other risks reflects reduced positions and was a key driver of the changes in portfolio diversification. In general, over the course of the year VAR exposures can vary significantly as positions change, market volatility fluctuates and diversification benefits change.
VAR backtesting
To evaluate the soundness of its VAR model, the Firm conducts daily back-testing of VAR against daily IB market risk-related revenue, which is defined as Principal transactions revenue less private equity gains/losses plus any trading-related net interest income, brokerage commissions, underwriting fees or other revenue. The daily IB market risk-related revenue excludes gains and losses on held-for-sale funded loans and unfunded commitments and from debit valuation adjustments (“DVA”). The following histogram illustrates the daily market risk–related gains and losses for IB trading businesses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The chart shows that IB posted market risk–related gains on 168 out of 195 days in this period. The inset graph looks at those days on which IB experienced losses and depicts the amount by which VAR exceeded the actual loss on each of those days. Losses were sustained on 27 days during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. For the third quarter of 2007, losses exceed the VAR measure on 5 days due to the high market volatility experienced during the period. No losses exceeded the VAR measure during the first or second quarters of 2007.

Economic value stress testing
While VAR reflects the risk of loss due to adverse changes in normal markets, stress testing captures the Firm’s exposure to unlikely but plausible events in abnormal markets. The Firm conducts economic-value stress tests for both its trading and its nontrading activities at least once a month using multiple scenarios that assume credit spreads widen significantly, equity prices decline and interest rates rise in the major currencies. Additional scenarios focus on the risks predominant in individual business segments and include scenarios that focus on the potential for adverse moves in complex portfolios. Periodically, scenarios are reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the Firm’s risk profile and economic events. Along with VAR, stress testing is important in measuring and controlling risk. Stress testing enhances the understanding of the Firm’s risk profile and loss potential, and stress losses are monitored against limits. Stress testing is also utilized in one-off approvals and cross-business risk measurement, as well as an input to economic capital allocation. Stress-test results, trends and explanations are provided each month to the Firm’s senior management and to the lines of business to help them better measure and manage risks and to understand positions sensitive to event risk.
Earnings-at-risk stress testing
The VAR and stress-test measures described above illustrate the total economic sensitivity of the Firm’s balance sheet to changes in market variables. The effect of interest rate exposure on reported Net income also is important. Interest rate risk exposure in the Firm’s core nontrading business activities (i.e., asset/liability management positions) results from on– and off–balance sheet positions. The Firm conducts simulations of changes in NII from its nontrading activities under a variety of interest rate scenarios. Earnings-at-risk tests measure the potential change in the Firm’s Net interest income over the next 12 months and highlight exposures to various rate-sensitive factors, such as the rates themselves (e.g., the prime lending rate), pricing strategies on deposits, optionality and changes in product mix. The tests include forecasted balance sheet changes, such as asset sales and securitizations, as well as prepayment and reinvestment behavior.

Table of Contents

Earnings-at-risk also can result from changes in the slope of the yield curve, because the Firm has the ability to lend at fixed rates and borrow at variable or short-term fixed rates. Based upon these scenarios, the Firm’s earnings would be affected negatively by a sudden and unanticipated increase in short-term rates without a corresponding increase in long-term rates. Conversely, higher long-term rates generally are beneficial to earnings, particularly when the increase is not accompanied by rising short-term rates.
Immediate changes in interest rates present a limited view of risk, and so a number of alternative scenarios also are reviewed. These scenarios include the implied forward curve, nonparallel rate shifts and severe interest rate shocks on selected key rates. These scenarios are intended to provide a comprehensive view of JPMorgan Chase’s earnings-at-risk over a wide range of outcomes.
JPMorgan Chase’s 12-month pretax earnings sensitivity profiles as of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, were as follows.
                                 
    Immediate change in rates

December 31, 2006
    (101 )     28       (21 )     (182 )
 
The primary change in earnings-at-risk from December 31, 2006, reflects a change in market interest rates. The Firm is exposed to both rising and falling rates. The Firm’s risk to rising rates is largely the result of increased funding costs. In contrast, the exposure to falling rates is the result of higher anticipated levels of loan and securities prepayments.
 
PRIVATE EQUITY RISK MANAGEMENT
 
For a discussion of Private Equity Risk Management, see page 81 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. At September 30, 2007, the carrying value of the Private Equity portfolio was $6.6 billion, of which $409 million represented positions traded in the public markets.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES USED BY THE FIRM
 
JPMorgan Chase’s accounting policies and use of estimates are integral to understanding its reported results. The Firm’s most complex accounting estimates require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets and liabilities. The Firm has established detailed policies and control procedures intended to ensure that valuation methods, including any judgments made as part of such methods, are well controlled, independently reviewed and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The Firm believes its estimates for determining the valuation of its assets and liabilities are appropriate.
Allowance for credit losses
JPMorgan Chase’s Allowance for credit losses covers the held-for-investment wholesale and consumer loan portfolios as well as the Firm’s portfolio of wholesale lending-related commitments. The Allowance for loan losses is intended to adjust the value of the Firm’s loan assets for probable credit losses as of the balance sheet date. For a further discussion of the methodologies used in establishing the Firm’s Allowance for credit losses, see Note 13 on pages 113–114 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. The methodology for calculating the Allowance for loan losses and the Allowance for lending-related commitments involves significant judgment. For a further description of these judgments, see Allowance for credit losses on page 83 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report; for amounts recorded as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, see Allowance for credit losses on page 61 and Note 14 on pages 93–94 of this Form 10-Q.
As noted on page 83 of the JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report, the Firm’s wholesale allowance is sensitive to the risk rating assigned to a loan. Assuming a one-notch downgrade in the Firm’s internal risk ratings for its entire Wholesale portfolio, the Allowance for loan losses for the Wholesale portfolio would increase by approximately $1.4 billion as of September 30, 2007. This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical. In the Firm’s view, the likelihood of a one-notch downgrade for all wholesale loans within a short timeframe is remote. The purpose of this analysis is to provide an indication of the impact of risk ratings on the estimate of the Allowance for loan losses for wholesale loans. It is not intended to imply management’s expectation of future deterioration in risk ratings. Given the process the Firm follows in determining the risk ratings of its loans, management believes the risk ratings currently assigned to wholesale loans are appropriate.
Fair value of financial instruments, MSRs and commodities inventory
A portion of JPMorgan Chase’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, including trading assets and liabilities, AFS securities, Private equity investments, MSRs, structured liabilities and certain loans. Certain Loans held-for-sale and physical commodities are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. At September 30, 2007, $605.2 billion of the Firm’s assets and $244.9 billion of its liabilities were recorded at fair value.
On January 1, 2007, the Firm chose early adoption of SFAS 157 and SFAS 159. For further information, see Accounting and Reporting Developments on page 67, Note 3 on pages 73–80 and Note 4 on pages 80–83 of this Form 10-Q.
Goodwill impairment
For a description of the significant valuation judgments associated with goodwill impairment, see Goodwill impairment on page 85 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
 
ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING DEVELOPMENTS
 
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty regarding income taxes recognized under SFAS 109. FIN 48 addresses the recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The Firm adopted and applied FIN 48 under the transition provisions to all of its income tax positions at the required effective date of January 1, 2007, resulting in a $436 million cumulative effect increase to Retained earnings, a reduction in Goodwill of $113 million and a $549 million decrease in the liability for income taxes. For additional information related to the Firm’s adoption of FIN 48, see Note 20 on page 105 of this Form 10-Q.
Changes in timing of cash flows related to income taxes generated by a leveraged lease
In July 2006, the FASB issued FSP FAS 13-2. FSP FAS 13-2 requires the recalculation of returns on leveraged leases if there is a change or projected change in the timing of cash flows relating to income taxes generated by a leveraged lease. The Firm adopted FSP FAS 13-2 at the required effective date of January 1, 2007. Implementation of FSP FAS 13-2 did not have a significant impact on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheet and results of operations.
Fair value measurements – adoption of SFAS 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about

assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The new standard provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on exit price and prioritizes, within a measurement of fair value, the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs. The standard also establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. SFAS 157 nullifies the guidance in EITF 02-3 which required deferral of profit at inception of a derivative transaction in the absence of observable data supporting the valuation technique. The standard also eliminates large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets and requires consideration of JPMorgan Chase’s own credit quality when valuing liabilities.
JPMorgan Chase chose early adoption for SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2007, and recorded a cumulative effect increase to Retained earnings of $287 million primarily related to the release of profit previously deferred in accordance with EITF 02-3. In order to determine the amount of this transition adjustment and to confirm that JPMorgan Chase’s valuation policies are consistent with exit price as prescribed by SFAS 157, JPMorgan Chase reviewed its derivative valuations using all available evidence including recent transactions in the marketplace, indicative pricing services and the results of back-testing similar types of transactions. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 157, JPMorgan Chase also recognized $391 million of additional Net income in the 2007 first quarter, comprised of a $103 million benefit relating to the incorporation of an adjustment to the valuation of JPMorgan Chase’s derivative liabilities and other liabilities measured at fair value that reflects the credit quality of JPMorgan Chase, and a $288 million benefit relating to the valuation of nonpublic private equity investments. The adoption of SFAS 157 primarily affected IB and the Private Equity business within Corporate. For additional information related to the Firm’s adoption of SFAS 157, see Note 3 on pages 73–80 of this Form 10-Q.
Fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities – adoption of SFAS 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. SFAS 159 provides the option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments. Under SFAS 159, fair value is used for both the initial and subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes in fair value recognized in Net income. JPMorgan Chase chose early adoption for SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2007, and as a result, it recorded a cumulative effect increase to Retained earnings of $199 million. For additional information related to the Firm’s adoption of SFAS 159, see Note 4 on page 80–83 of this Form 10-Q.
Derivatives netting – amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39
In April 2007, the FASB issued FSP FIN 39-1, which permits offsetting of cash collateral receivables or payables with net derivative positions under certain circumstances. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The FSP will not have a material impact on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheet.
Investment companies
In June 2007, the AICPA issued SOP 07-1. SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Guide”), and therefore qualifies to use the Guide’s specialized accounting principles (referred to as “investment company accounting”). Additionally, SOP 07-1 provides guidelines for determining whether investment company accounting should be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an equity method investor in an investment. In May 2007, the FASB issued FSP FIN 46(R)-7, which amends FIN 46R to permanently exempt entities within the scope of the Guide from applying the provisions of FIN 46R to their investments. In October 2007, the FASB agreed to propose an indefinite delay of the effective dates of SOP 07-1 and FSP FIN 46(R)-7 in order to address implementation issues.
Accounting for income tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards
In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF 06-11, which must be applied prospectively for dividends declared in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 06-11 requires that realized tax benefits from dividends or dividend equivalents paid on equity-classified share-based payment awards that are charged to retained earnings should be recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. Prior to the issuance of EITF 06-11, the Firm did not include these tax benefits as part of this pool of excess tax benefits. It will begin to do so effective January 1, 2008, when it implements EITF 06-11. The adoption of this consensus will not have an impact on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheet or results of operations.
Fair value measurements – written loan commitments
On November 5, 2007, the SEC issued SAB 109, which revises and rescinds portions of SAB 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments.” Specifically, SAB 109 states that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The provisions of SAB 109 are applicable to written loan commitments issued or modified beginning on January 1, 2008. JPMorgan Chase is currently evaluating the impact that SAB 109 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase” or the “Firm”), a financial holding company incorporated under Delaware law in 1968, is a leading global financial services firm and one of the largest banking institutions in the United States, with operations worldwide. The Firm is a leader in investment banking, financial services for consumers and businesses, financial transaction processing and asset management. For a discussion of the Firm’s business segment information, see Note 24 on pages 108–111 of this Form 10-Q.
The accounting and financial reporting policies of JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. The unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could be different from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments have been included for a fair statement of this interim financial information. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in JPMorgan Chase’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as amended (the “2006 Annual Report”).
Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JPMorgan Chase and other entities in which the Firm has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The most usual condition for a controlling financial interest is the ownership of a majority of the voting interests of the entity. However, a controlling financial interest also may be deemed to exist with respect to entities, such as special purpose entities (“SPEs”), through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests.
SPEs are an important part of the financial markets, providing market liquidity by facilitating investors’ access to specific portfolios of assets and risks. For example, they are critical to the functioning of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and commercial paper markets. SPEs may be organized as trusts, partnerships or corporations and are typically established for a single, discrete purpose. SPEs are not typically operating entities and usually have a limited life and no employees. The basic SPE structure involves a company selling assets to the SPE. The SPE funds the purchase of those assets by issuing securities to investors. The legal documents that govern the transaction describe how the cash earned on the assets must be allocated to the SPE’s investors and other parties that have rights to those cash flows. SPEs can be structured to be bankruptcy-remote, thereby insulating investors from the impact of the creditors of other entities, including the seller of the assets.
There are two different accounting frameworks applicable to SPEs: the qualifying SPE (“QSPE”) framework under SFAS 140; and the variable interest entity (“VIE”) framework under FIN 46R. The applicable framework depends on the nature of the entity and the Firm’s relation to that entity. The QSPE framework is applicable when an entity transfers (sells) financial assets to an SPE meeting certain criteria defined in SFAS 140. These criteria are designed to ensure that the activities of the entity are essentially predetermined at the inception of the vehicle and that the transferor of the financial assets cannot exercise control over the entity and the assets therein. Entities meeting these criteria are not consolidated by the transferor or other counterparties as long as they do not have the unilateral ability to liquidate or to cause the entity to no longer meet the QSPE criteria. The Firm primarily follows the QSPE model for securitizations of its residential and commercial mortgages, credit card loans and automobile loans. For further details, see Note 15 on pages 94–99 of this Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

When the SPE does not meet the QSPE criteria, consolidation is assessed pursuant to FIN 46R. Under FIN 46R, a VIE is defined as an entity that: (1) lacks enough equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; (2) has equity owners that lack the right to make significant decisions affecting the entity’s operations; and/or (3) has equity owners that do not have an obligation to absorb the entity’s losses or the right to receive the entity’s returns.
FIN 46R requires a variable interest holder (i.e., a counterparty to a VIE) to consolidate the VIE if that party will absorb a majority of the expected losses of the VIE, receive the majority of the expected residual returns of the VIE, or both. This party is considered the primary beneficiary. In making this determination, the Firm thoroughly evaluates the VIE’s design, capital structure and relationships among variable interest holders. When the primary beneficiary cannot be identified through a qualitative analysis, the Firm performs a quantitative analysis, which computes and allocates expected losses or residual returns to variable interest holders. The allocation of expected cash flows in this analysis is based upon the relative contractual rights and preferences of each variable interest holder in the VIE’s capital structure. For further details, see Note 16 on pages 100–101 of this Form 10-Q.
Investments in companies that are considered to be voting-interest entities under FIN 46R in which the Firm has significant influence over operating and financing decisions are either accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting or at fair value if elected under SFAS 159 (“Fair Value Option”). These investments are generally included in Other assets with income or loss included in Other income.
All retained interests and significant transactions between the Firm, QSPEs and nonconsolidated VIEs are reflected on JPMorgan Chase’s Consolidated balance sheets and in the Notes to consolidated financial statements.
For a discussion of the accounting for Private equity investments, see Note 5 on pages 83–85 of this Form 10-Q.
Assets held for clients in an agency or fiduciary capacity by the Firm are not assets of JPMorgan Chase and are not included in the Consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On October 1, 2006, JPMorgan Chase completed the acquisition of The Bank of New York’s consumer, small-business and middle-market banking businesses in exchange for selected corporate trust businesses plus a cash payment of $150 million. The Firm may also make a future payment to The Bank of New York of up to $50 million depending on certain new account openings. There was no income from discontinued operations during the first nine months of 2007. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006, Income from discontinued operations was $65 million and $175 million, respectively.
JPMorgan Chase provides certain transitional services to The Bank of New York for a defined period of time after the closing date. The Bank of New York compensates JPMorgan Chase for these transitional services.
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNYM) has informed the Firm of difficulties in locating certain documentation, including IRS Forms W-8 and W-9, related to certain accounts transferred to BNYM in connection with the Firm’s sale of its corporate trust business. The Firm could have liability to the IRS if it is determined that there was noncompliance with IRS tax reporting and withholding requirements, and to BNYM if it is determined that there was noncompliance with the sales agreements. The Firm is working with BNYM to locate and verify documents, and to obtain replacement documentation where necessary. The Firm and BNYM have jointly notified the IRS of the matter and are working cooperatively to address the issues and resolve any outstanding reporting and withholding issues with the IRS. Although the Firm currently does not expect that any amounts payable would be material, it is too early to precisely determine the extent of any potential liability relating to this matter.
NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157 (“Fair Value Measurements”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. SFAS 157:
 
Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value;
 
Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date;
 
Nullifies the guidance in EITF 02-3, which required the deferral of profit at inception of a transaction involving a derivative financial instrument in the absence of observable data supporting the valuation technique;
 
Eliminates large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets and requires consideration of the Firm’s creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and
 
Expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value.
The Firm chose early adoption for SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2007.

73


Table of Contents

The Firm also chose early adoption for SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2007. SFAS 159 provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments and written loan commitments not previously recorded at fair value. As a result of adopting SFAS 159, the Firm elected fair value accounting for certain assets and liabilities not previously carried at fair value. For more information, see Note 4 on pages 80–83 of this Form 10-Q
Determination of fair value
Following is a description of the Firm’s valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Such valuation methodologies were applied to all of the assets and liabilities carried at fair value, whether as a result of the adoption of SFAS 159 or previously carried at fair value.
The Firm has an established and well-documented process for determining fair values. Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Firm’s creditworthiness, liquidity and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently over time.
 
Credit valuation adjustments (“CVA”) are necessary when the market price (or parameter) is not indicative of the credit quality of the counterparty. As few classes of derivative contracts are listed on an exchange, the majority of derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use as their basis observable market parameters. Market practice is to quote parameters equivalent to an ‘AA’ credit rating; thus, all counterparties are assumed to have the same credit quality. Therefore, an adjustment is necessary to reflect the credit quality of each derivative counterparty to arrive at fair value.
 
 
Debit valuation adjustments (“DVA”) are necessary to reflect the credit quality of the Firm in the valuation of liabilities measured at fair value. This adjustment was incorporated into the Firm’s valuations commencing January 1, 2007, in accordance with SFAS 157. The methodology to determine the adjustment is consistent with CVA and incorporates JPMorgan Chase’s credit spread as observed through the credit default swap market.
 
 
Liquidity valuation adjustments are necessary when the Firm may not be able to observe a recent market price for a financial instrument that trades in inactive (or less active) markets or to reflect the cost of exiting larger-than-normal market-size risk positions. The Firm tries to ascertain the amount of uncertainty in the initial valuation based upon the degree of liquidity of the market in which the financial instrument trades and makes liquidity adjustments to the financial instrument. The Firm measures the liquidity adjustment based upon the following factors: (1) the amount of time since the last relevant pricing point; (2) whether there was an actual trade or relevant external quote; and (3) the volatility of the principal component of the financial instrument. Costs to exit larger-than-normal market-size risk positions are determined based upon the size of the adverse market move that is likely to occur during the extended period required to bring a position down to a nonconcentrated level.
 
 
Unobservable parameter valuation adjustments are necessary when positions are valued using internally developed models that use as their basis unobservable parameters – that is, parameters that must be estimated and are, therefore, subject to management judgment to substantiate the model valuation. These financial instruments are normally traded less actively. Examples include certain credit products where parameters such as correlation and recovery rates are unobservable. Parameter valuation adjustments are applied to mitigate the possibility of error and revision in the model-based estimate of market price provided by the model.
To ensure that the valuations are appropriate, the Firm has various controls in place. These include: an independent review and approval of valuation models; detailed review and explanation for profit and loss analyzed daily and over time; deconstruction of the model valuations for certain structured instruments into their components and benchmarking valuations, where possible, to similar products; and validating valuation estimates through actual cash settlement. Valuation adjustments are determined based upon established policies and are controlled by a price verification group, which is independent of the risk-taking function. Any changes to the valuation methodology are reviewed by management to ensure the changes are justified. As markets and products develop and the pricing for certain products becomes more transparent, the Firm continues to refine its valuation methodologies.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Firm believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Valuation Hierarchy
SFAS 157 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows.
 
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Assets
Securities purchased under resale agreements (“resale agreements”)
To estimate the fair value of resale agreements, cash flows are evaluated taking into consideration any derivative features of the resale agreement and are then discounted using the appropriate market rates for the applicable maturity. As the inputs into the valuation are primarily based upon readily observable pricing information, such resale agreements are generally classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Loans and unfunded lending-related commitments
Where quoted market prices are not available, the fair value of loans and unfunded lending-related commitments is generally based upon observable market prices of similar instruments, including bonds, credit derivatives and loans with similar characteristics. If observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon estimated cash flows adjusted for credit risk which are discounted using an interest rate appropriate for the maturity of the applicable loans or the unfunded commitments.
For loans that are expected to be securitized, fair value is estimated based upon observable pricing of asset-backed securities with similar collateral and incorporates adjustments (i.e., reductions) to these prices to account for securitization uncertainties including portfolio composition, market conditions and liquidity.
The Firm’s loans carried at fair value and included in Loans and Trading assets on the balance sheet are generally classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy; however, certain of the Firm’s loans, including purchased nonperforming loans, leveraged lending funded loans and unfunded commitments, and subprime loans are classified within level 3 due to the lack of observable pricing data.
Securities
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds, certain mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and certain high-yield debt securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities classified within level 3 include certain residual interests in securitizations and other less liquid securities.
Commodities
Commodities inventory is carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value for commodities inventory is determined primarily using pricing and data derived from the markets on which the underlying commodities are traded. Market prices may be adjusted for liquidity. The majority of commodities contracts are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

75


Table of Contents

Derivatives
Exchange-traded derivatives valued using quoted prices are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. However, few classes of derivative contracts are listed on an exchange; thus, the majority of the Firm’s derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters and are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Such derivatives include basic interest rate swaps and options and credit default swaps. Derivatives that are valued based upon models with significant unobservable market parameters and that are normally traded less actively or have trade activity that is one way are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples include long-dated interest rate or currency swaps, where swap rates may be unobservable for longer maturities; and certain credit products, where correlation and recovery rates are unobservable.
Mortgage servicing rights and certain other retained interests in securitizations
Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and certain other retained interests from securitization activities do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of MSRs do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. Accordingly, the Firm estimates the fair value of MSRs and certain other retained interests in securitizations using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) models.
 
For MSRs, the Firm uses an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) valuation model in conjunction with the Firm’s proprietary prepayment model to project MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates to estimate an expected fair value of the MSRs. The OAS model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenues, costs to service and other economic factors. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, MSRs are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
 
For certain other retained interests in securitizations (such as interest-only strips), a single interest rate path DCF model is used and generally includes assumptions based upon projected finance charges related to the securitized assets, estimated net credit losses, prepayment assumptions and contractual interest paid to third-party investors. Changes in the assumptions used may have a significant impact on the Firm’s valuation of retained interests and such interests are therefore typically classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
For both MSRs and certain other retained interests in securitizations, the Firm compares its fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data where available and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience. For further discussion of the most significant assumptions used to value retained interests in securitizations and MSRs, as well as the applicable stress tests for those assumptions, see Note 15 on pages 94–99 and Note 17 on pages 101–103 of this Form 10-Q.
Private equity investments
The valuation of nonpublic Private equity investments, held primarily by the Private Equity business within Corporate, requires significant management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, inherent lack of liquidity and the long-term nature of such assets. Private equity investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. The carrying values of private equity investments are adjusted either upwards or downwards from the transaction price to reflect expected exit values as evidenced by financing and sale transactions with third parties, or when determination of a valuation adjustment is confirmed through ongoing reviews by senior investment managers. A variety of factors are reviewed and monitored to assess positive and negative changes in valuation including, but not limited to, current operating performance and future expectations of the particular investment, industry valuations of comparable public companies, changes in market outlook and the third-party financing environment. In determining valuation adjustments resulting from the investment review process, emphasis is placed on current company performance and market conditions. Nonpublic Private equity investments are included in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Private equity investments also include publicly held equity investments, generally obtained through the initial public offering of privately held equity investments. Publicly held investments are marked-to-market at the quoted public value less adjustments for regulatory or contractual sales restrictions. Discounts for restrictions are quantified by analyzing the length of the restriction period and the volatility of the equity security. Publicly held investments are primarily classified in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Liabilities
Deposits and Securities sold under repurchase agreements (“repurchase agreements”)
To estimate the fair value of term deposits and repurchase agreements, cash flows are evaluated taking into consideration any derivative features in the deposits or repurchase agreements and are then discounted using the appropriate market rates for the applicable maturity. As the inputs into the valuation are primarily based upon readily observable pricing information, such deposits and repurchase agreements are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

76


Table of Contents

Beneficial interests issued by consolidated VIEs
The fair value of beneficial interests issued by consolidated VIEs (beneficial interests) is estimated based upon the fair value of the underlying assets held by the VIEs. The valuation of beneficial interests does not include an adjustment to reflect the credit quality of the Firm as the holders of these beneficial interests do not have recourse to the general credit of JPMorgan Chase. As the inputs into the valuation are generally based upon readily observable pricing information, the majority of beneficial interests issued by consolidated VIEs are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Deposits, Other borrowed funds and Long-term debt
Included within Deposits, Other borrowed funds and Long-term debt are structured notes issued by the Firm that are financial instruments containing embedded derivatives. To estimate the fair value of structured notes, cash flows are evaluated taking into consideration any derivative features and are then discounted using the appropriate market rates for the applicable maturities. In addition, the valuation of structured notes includes an adjustment to reflect the credit quality of the Firm (i.e., the DVA). Where the inputs into the valuation are primarily based upon readily observable pricing information, the structured notes are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Where significant inputs are unobservable, structured notes are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

The tables below include a rollforward of the balance sheet amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, (including the change in fair value), for financial instruments classified by the Firm within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. However, level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources); accordingly, the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology. Also, the Firm risk manages the observable components of level 3 financial instruments using securities and derivative positions that are classified within level 1 or 2 of the valuation hierarchy; as these level 1 and level 2 risk management instruments are not included below, the gains or losses in the tables do not reflect the effect of the Firm’s risk management activities related to such level 3 instruments.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis
Certain assets, liabilities and unfunded lending-related commitments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents the financial instruments carried on the Consolidated balance sheet by caption and by level within the SFAS 157 valuation hierarchy (as described above) as of September 30, 2007, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Transition
In connection with the Firm’s adoption of SFAS 157, the Firm recorded the following:
 
A cumulative effect increase to Retained earnings of $287 million primarily related to the release of profit previously deferred in accordance with EITF 02-3;
 
An increase to revenue of $166 million ($103 million after-tax) related to the incorporation of the Firm’s creditworthiness in the valuation of liabilities recorded at fair value; and
 
An increase to revenue of $464 million ($288 million after-tax) related to nonpublic private equity investments.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 157, the Firm applied the provisions of EITF 02-3 to its derivative portfolio. EITF 02-3 precluded the recognition of initial trading profit in the absence of: (a) quoted market prices, (b) observable prices of other current market transactions or (c) other observable data supporting a valuation technique. The Firm recognized the deferred profit in Principal transactions revenue on a systematic basis (typically straight-line amortization over the life of the instruments) and when observable market data became available.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 157, privately held investments were initially valued based upon cost. The carrying values of privately held investments were adjusted from cost to reflect both positive and negative changes evidenced by financing events with third-party capital providers. The investments were also subject to ongoing impairment reviews by private equity senior investment professionals. The increase in revenue related to nonpublic Private equity investments in connection with the adoption of SFAS 157 was due to there being sufficient market evidence to support an increase in fair values using the SFAS 157 methodology, although there had not been an actual third party market transaction related to such investments.
NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE OPTION
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. SFAS 159 provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value. The Firm chose early adoption for SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2007.
The Firm’s fair value elections were intended to eliminate volatility in Net income that had been caused by measuring assets and liabilities on a different basis and to align the accounting with the Firm’s risk management practices for those financial instruments managed on a fair value basis. The following table provides detail regarding the Firm’s elections by balance sheet line as of January 1, 2007.

Table of Contents

(a)  
Included in Other assets are items, such as receivables, that are eligible for the fair value option election but were not elected by the Firm as these assets are not managed on a fair value basis.
 
(b)  
Included within Deposits are structured deposits that are carried at fair value pursuant to the fair value option. Other time deposits which are eligible for election, but are not managed on a fair value basis, continue to be carried on an accrual basis. Demand deposits are not eligible for election under the fair value option.
 
(c)  
Included in the January 1, 2007, carrying values are certain financial instruments previously carried at fair value by the Firm such as structured liabilities elected pursuant to SFAS 155 and loans purchased as part of the Investment Bank trading activities.
 
(d)  
When fair value elections were made, certain financial instruments were reclassified on the Consolidated balance sheet (for example, warehouse loans were moved from Loans to Trading assets). The transition adjustment for these financial instruments has been included in the line item in which they were classified subsequent to the fair value election.
Elections
The following is a discussion of the primary financial instruments for which fair value elections were made and the basis for those elections:
Loans and unfunded lending-related commitments
The Firm elected to record, at fair value, certain loans and unfunded lending-related commitments that are extended as part of its principal investing activities. The transition amount related to the election to fair value these loans included a reversal of the Allowance for loan losses of $56 million. During the third quarter of 2007, the Firm elected the fair value option for newly originated bridge loans and bridge financing commitments and plans to make an election for such instruments going forward. These elections are being made to further align the accounting basis of the funded bridge loans and unfunded bridge financing commitments with the related risk management practices. These loans continue to be classified within Loans on the Consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of unfunded commitments is classified within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.
The Firm also elected to record certain Loans held-for-sale at fair value. These loans were reclassified to Trading assets – Debt and equity instruments. This election enabled the Firm to record loans purchased as part of the Investment Bank’s proprietary activities at fair value and discontinue SFAS 133 fair value hedge relationships for certain originated loans.
In addition, the Investment Bank (“IB”) elected to record loan originations and purchases entered into after January 1, 2007, as part of its securitization warehousing activities at fair value. Similarly, Retail Financial Services (“RFS”) elected to record prime mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell after January 1, 2007, at fair value. These elections were not made for loans existing on January 1, 2007, based upon the short holding period of the loans and/or the negligible impact of the elections. Warehouse loans elected to be reported at fair value are classified as Trading assets – Debt and equity instruments. For additional information regarding warehouse loans, see Note 15 on pages 94–99 of this Form 10-Q.
Resale and Repurchase Agreements
The Firm elected to record at fair value resale and repurchase agreements with an embedded derivative or a maturity greater than one year. The intent of this election was to mitigate volatility due to the differences in the measurement basis for the agreements (which were previously accounted for on an accrual basis) and the associated risk management arrangements (which are accounted for on a fair value basis). An election was not made for short-term agreements as the carrying value for such agreements generally approximates fair value. For additional information regarding these agreements, see Note 12 on page 91 of this Form 10-Q.
Structured Notes
IB issues structured notes as part of its client-driven activities. Structured notes are financial instruments that contain embedded derivatives and are included in Long-term debt. On January 1, 2007, the Firm elected to record at fair value all structured notes not previously elected or eligible for election under SFAS 155. As a result, all structured notes will be carried consistently on a fair-value basis. The election was made to mitigate the volatility due to the differences in the measurement basis for structured notes and the associated risk management arrangements and to eliminate the operational burdens of having different accounting models for the same type of financial instrument.

(a)  
For floating-rate instruments, changes in value are attributed to instrument–specific credit risk. For fixed-rate instruments, an allocation of the changes in value for the period is made between those changes in value that are interest rate–related and changes in value that are credit-related. Allocations are based upon an analysis of borrower–specific credit spread and recovery information, where available, or benchmarking to similar entities or industries.
(b)  
For Long-term debt, changes in value attributable to instrument–specific credit risk were derived principally from observable changes in the Firm’s credit spread. The gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, was attributable to the widening of the Firm's credit spread.
(c)  
Total changes in instrument-specific credit risk related to structured notes was $454 million and $589 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, which includes adjustments for structured notes classified within Deposits and Other borrowed funds as well as Long-term debt.
(d)  
Included in the amounts are gains and losses related to certain financial instruments previously carried at fair value by the Firm such as structured liabilities elected pursuant to SFAS 155 and loans purchased as part of IB trading activities.

Table of Contents

The Firm’s fair value elections were intended to mitigate the volatility in earnings that had been created by recording financial instruments and the related risk management instruments on a different basis of accounting or to eliminate the operational complexities of applying hedge accounting. However, the profit and loss information presented above only includes the financial instruments that were elected to be measured at fair value; related risk management instruments, which are required to be measured at fair value, are not included in the table.

Trading assets and liabilities
Trading assets include debt and equity instruments held for trading purposes that JPMorgan Chase owns (“long” positions) and certain loans for which the Firm manages on a fair value basis and has elected the SFAS 159 fair value option. Trading liabilities include debt and equity instruments that the Firm has sold to other parties but does not own (“short” positions). The Firm is obligated to purchase instruments at a future date to cover the short positions. Included in Trading assets and Trading liabilities are the reported receivables (unrealized gains) and payables (unrealized losses) related to derivatives. Trading positions are carried at fair value on the Consolidated balance sheets. For a discussion of the valuation of Trading assets and Trading liabilities, see Note 3 on pages 73–80 of this Form 10-Q.

Private equity investments are held primarily by the Private Equity business within Corporate. Private Equity includes investments in buyouts, growth equity and venture opportunities. These investments are accounted for under investment company guidelines. Accordingly, these investments, irrespective of the percentage of equity ownership interest held, are carried on the Consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in value are reported in Principal transactions revenue in the Consolidated statements of income in the period that the gains or losses occur. For a discussion of the valuation of Private equity investments, see Note 3 on pages 73–80 of this Form 10-Q.
NOTE 6 – OTHER NONINTEREST REVENUE
Investment banking fees
This revenue category includes advisory and equity and debt underwriting fees. Advisory fees are recognized as revenue when the related services have been performed. Underwriting fees are recognized as revenue when the Firm has rendered all services to the issuer and is entitled to collect the fee from the issuer, as long as there are no other contingencies associated with the fee (e.g., the fee is not contingent upon the customer obtaining financing). Underwriting fees are net of syndicate expenses. The Firm recognizes credit arrangement and syndication fees as revenue after satisfying certain retention, timing and yield criteria.

Lending & deposit-related fees
This revenue category includes fees from loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, deposit-related fees in lieu of compensating balances, cash management-related activities or transactions, deposit accounts, and other loan servicing activities. These fees are recognized over the period in which the related service is provided.

85


Table of Contents

Asset management, administration and commissions
This revenue category includes fees from investment management and related services, custody, brokerage services, insurance premiums and commissions and other products. These fees are recognized over the period in which the related service is provided. Performance-based fees, which are earned based upon exceeding certain benchmarks or other performance targets, are accrued and recognized at the end of the performance period in which the target is met.
Mortgage fees and related income
This revenue category primarily reflects Retail Financial Services’ mortgage banking revenue, including fees and income derived from mortgages originated with the intent to sell, mortgage sales and servicing; the impact of risk management activities associated with the mortgage pipeline, warehouse and MSRs; and revenues related to any residual interests held from mortgage securitizations. This revenue category also includes gains and losses on sales and lower of cost or fair value adjustments for mortgage loans held-for-sale, as well as changes in fair value for mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell and measured at fair value under SFAS 159. For loans measured at fair value under SFAS 159, origination costs are recognized in the associated expense category as incurred. Costs to originate Loans held-for-sale and accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value are deferred and recognized as a component of the gain or loss on sale. Net interest income from mortgage loans and securities gains and losses on AFS securities used in mortgage-related risk management activities are not included in Mortgage fees and related income. For a further discussion of MSRs, see Note 16 on pages 121–122 of the 2006 Annual Report and Note 17 on page 102 of this Form 10-Q.
Credit card income
This revenue category includes interchange income from credit and debit cards and servicing fees earned in connection with securitization activities. Volume-related payments to partners and expenses for rewards programs are netted against interchange income. Expenses related to rewards programs are recorded when the rewards are earned by the customer. Other Fee revenues are recognized as earned, except for annual fees, which are deferred with direct loan origination costs and recognized on a straight-line basis over the 12-month period to which they pertain.
Credit card revenue sharing agreements
The Firm has contractual agreements with numerous affinity organizations and co-brand partners, which grant to the Firm exclusive rights to market to their members or customers. These organizations and partners endorse the credit card programs and provide their mailing lists to the Firm, and they may also conduct marketing activities and provide awards under the various credit card programs. The terms of these agreements generally range from 3 to 10 years. The economic incentives the Firm pays to the endorsing organizations and partners typically include payments based upon new account originations, charge volumes, and the cost of the endorsing organizations’ or partners’ marketing activities and awards.
The Firm recognizes the payments made to the affinity organizations and co-brand partners based upon new account originations as direct loan origination costs. Payments based upon charge volumes are considered by the Firm as revenue sharing with the affinity organizations and co-brand partners, which are deducted from Credit card income as the related revenue is earned. Payments based upon marketing efforts undertaken by the endorsing organization or partner are expensed by the Firm as incurred. These costs are recorded within Noninterest expense.

NOTE 9 – EMPLOYEE STOCK-BASED INCENTIVES
For a discussion of the accounting policies and other information relating to employee stock-based compensation, see Note 8 on pages 105–107 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Firm adopted SFAS 123R and all related interpretations using the modified prospective transition method. SFAS 123R requires that all share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), be measured at their grant date fair values.
Upon adopting SFAS 123R, the Firm revised its accounting policies for share-based payments granted to retirement-eligible employees. Prior to the adoption, the Firm’s accounting policy for share-based payment awards granted to retirement-eligible employees was to recognize compensation cost over the award’s stated service period. Beginning with awards granted to retirement-eligible employees in 2006, JPMorgan Chase recognized compensation expense on the grant date without giving consideration to the impact of the postemployment restrictions. In the first quarter of 2006, the Firm also began to accrue the estimated cost of stock awards to be granted to retirement-eligible employees in the following year.
The Firm recognized noncash compensation expense related to its various employee stock-based incentives of $490 million and $545 million (including the total incremental impact of adopting SFAS 123R of $105 million) for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $1.5 billion and $1.9 billion (including the total incremental impact of adopting SFAS 123R of $670 million) in the first nine months of 2007 and 2006, respectively, in its Consolidated statements of income. These amounts included an accrual for the estimated cost of stock awards to be granted to retirement-eligible employees of $123 million and $137 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $380 million and $418 million in the first nine months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
In the first quarter 2007, the Firm granted 44 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a grant date fair value of $48.25 per RSU in connection with its annual incentive grant.

Included in the $649 million of gross unrealized losses on AFS securities at September 30, 2007, was $303 million of unrealized losses that have existed for a period greater than 12 months. These securities are predominately rated AAA and the unrealized losses are primarily due to overall increases in market interest rates and not concerns regarding the underlying credit of the issuers. The majority of the securities with unrealized losses aged greater than 12 months are obligations of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises and have a fair value at September 30, 2007, that is within 4% of their amortized cost basis.

NOTE 12 – SECURITIES FINANCING ACTIVITIES
For a discussion of accounting policies relating to securities financing activities, see Note 11 on page 111 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
Resale agreements and repurchase agreements are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions carried on the Consolidated balance sheets at the amounts the securities will be subsequently sold or repurchased, plus accrued interest. On January 1, 2007, pursuant to the adoption of SFAS 159, the Firm elected fair value measurement for certain resale and repurchase agreements. For a further discussion of SFAS 159, see Note 4 on pages 80—83 of this Form 10-Q. These agreements continue to be reported within Securities purchased under resale agreements and Securities sold under repurchase agreements on the Consolidated balance sheets. Generally for agreements carried at fair value, current period interest accruals are recorded within Interest income and Interest expense with changes in fair value reported in Principal transactions revenue. However, for financial instruments containing embedded derivatives that would be separately accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133, all changes in fair value, including any interest elements, are reported in Principal transactions revenue. Where appropriate, resale and repurchase agreements with the same counterparty are reported on a net basis in accordance with FIN 41.
The following table details the components of securities financing activities at each of the dates indicated.

(b)  
Includes repurchase agreements of $6.4 billion accounted for at fair value at September 30, 2007.
JPMorgan Chase pledges certain financial instruments it owns to collateralize repurchase agreements and other securities financings. Pledged securities that can be sold or repledged by the secured party are identified as financial instruments owned (pledged to various parties) on the Consolidated balance sheets.
At September 30, 2007, the Firm had received securities as collateral that could be repledged, delivered or otherwise used with a fair value of approximately $342.0 billion. This collateral was generally obtained under resale or securities borrowing agreements. Of these securities, approximately $321.4 billion were repledged, delivered or otherwise used, generally as collateral under repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements or to cover short sales.
NOTE 13 – LOANS
The accounting for a loan may differ based upon the type of loan and/or its use in an investing or trading strategy. The measurement framework for Loans in the consolidated financial statements is one of the following:
 
At the principal amount outstanding, net of the Allowance for loan losses, unearned income and any net deferred loan fees;
 
 
At the lower of cost or fair value, with valuation changes recorded in Noninterest revenue; or
 
 
At fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Noninterest revenue.
For a detailed discussion of accounting policies relating to Loans, see Note 12 on pages 112–113 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. See Note 4 on pages 80–83 of this Form 10-Q for further information on the Firm’s elections of fair value accounting under SFAS 159. See Note 5 on pages 83–85 of this Form 10-Q for further information on loans carried at fair value and classified as trading assets.
Interest income is recognized using the interest method, or on a basis approximating a level rate or return over the term of the loan.
Loans within the held-for-investment portfolio that management decides to sell are transferred to the held-for-sale portfolio. Transfers to held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value on the date of transfer. Losses attributed to credit losses are charged off to the Allowance for loan losses and losses due to interest rates, or exchange rates, are recognized in Noninterest revenue.

NOTE 15 – LOAN SECURITIZATIONS
For a discussion of the accounting policies relating to loan securitizations, see Note 14 on pages 114–118 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. JPMorgan Chase securitizes and sells a variety of its consumer and wholesale loans, including warehouse loans that are classified in Trading assets. Consumer activities include securitizations of residential real estate, credit card, automobile and education loans that are originated or purchased by RFS and Card Services (“CS”). Wholesale activities include securitizations of purchased residential real estate loans and commercial loans (primarily real estate–related) originated by IB.
JPMorgan Chase–sponsored securitizations utilize SPEs as part of the securitization process. These SPEs are structured to meet the definition of a QSPE (as discussed in Note 1 on pages 72–73 of this Form 10-Q); accordingly, the assets and liabilities of securitization-related QSPEs are not reflected in the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets (except for retained interests, as described below) but are included on the balance sheet of the QSPE purchasing the assets. Assets held by JPMorgan Chase-sponsored securitization-related QSPEs as of September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, were as follows:
                 
(in billions)   September 30, 2007     December 31, 2006

In addition to the amounts reported for securitization activity on the previous page, the Firm sold residential mortgage loans totaling $21.5 billion and $13.3 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, primarily for securitization by GNMA, FNMA and Freddie Mac. These sales resulted in pretax (losses) gains of $(20) million and $53 million, respectively. During the first nine months of 2007 and 2006, JPMorgan Chase sold residential mortgage loans totaling $57.3 billion and $40.4 billion, respectively, primarily for securitization by GNMA, FNMA and Freddie Mac. These sales resulted in pretax gains of $67 million and $223 million, respectively.
Retained securitization interests
At both September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the Firm had, with respect to its credit card master trusts, $17.7 billion and $19.3 billion, respectively, related to undivided interests, and $3.0 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, related to subordinated interests in accrued interest and fees on the securitized receivables, net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. Credit card securitization trusts require the Firm to maintain a minimum undivided interest of 4% to 12% of the principal receivables in the trusts. The Firm maintained an average undivided interest in principal receivables in the trusts of approximately 18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, and 21% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The Firm also maintains escrow accounts up to predetermined limits for some credit card, automobile and education securitizations to cover the unlikely event of deficiencies in cash flows owed to investors. The amounts available in such escrow accounts are recorded in Other assets and, as of September 30, 2007, amounted to $108 million, $29 million and $3 million for credit card, automobile and education securitizations, respectively; as of December 31, 2006, these amounts were $153 million and $56 million for credit card and automobile securitizations, respectively.

(a)  
Pretax unrealized gains/(losses) recorded in Stockholders’ equity that relate to retained securitization interests on consumer activities totaled $(7) million and $3 million for credit card; $3 million and $4 million for automobile and $41 million and $51 million for residential mortgage at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively.
(b)  
The credit card retained interest amount noted above includes subordinated securities retained by the Firm totaling $291 million and $301 million at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively that are classified as AFS securities. The securities are valued using quoted market prices and therefore are not included in the key economic assumptions and sensitivities table that follows.
(c)  
In addition to the automobile retained interest amounts noted above, the Firm did not have any retained senior securities at September 30, 2007, but did have $188 million at December 31, 2006, that are classified as AFS securities. These securities are valued using quoted market prices and therefore are not included in the key economic assumption and sensitivities table that follows.
(d)  
In addition to the wholesale retained interest amounts noted above, the Firm also retained subordinated securities totaling $25 million at September 30, 2007, and $23 million at December 31, 2006, respectively, predominately from resecuritizations activities that are classified as Trading assets. These securities are valued using quoted market prices and therefore are not included in the key assumptions and sensitivities table that follows.
(e)  
Some consumer activities securitization interests are retained by the Investment Bank and reported under Wholesale activities.
(f)  
In addition to the retained interests described above, the Firm also held investment-grade interests of $9.9 billion and $3.1 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively, that the Firm expected to sell to investors in the normal course of its underwriting activity or that were purchased in connection with secondary market-making activities.

The sensitivity analysis in the preceding table is hypothetical. Changes in fair value based upon a 10% or 20% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated easily because the relationship of the change in the assumptions to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the table, the effect that a change in a particular assumption may have on the fair value is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might counteract or magnify the sensitivities.

Maximum exposure to loss(a)
  $     $ 1.0     $ 96.1     $ 67.0     $ 96.1     $ 68.0  
 
(a)  
The Firm’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to the amount of drawn commitments (i.e., sellers’ assets held by the multi-seller conduits for which the Firm provides liquidity support) of $65.0 billion and $43.9 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively, plus contractual but undrawn commitments of $31.1 billion and $24.1 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. Since the Firm provides credit enhancement and liquidity to Firm-administered multi-seller conduits, the maximum exposure is not adjusted to exclude exposure that would be absorbed by third-party liquidity providers.
The Firm views its credit exposure to multi-seller conduit transactions as limited. This is because, for the most part, the Firm is not required to fund under the liquidity facilities if the assets in the VIE are in default. Additionally, the Firm’s obligations under the letters of credit are secondary to the risk of first loss provided by the customer or other third parties – for example, by the overcollateralization of the VIE with the assets sold to it or notes subordinated to the Firm’s liquidity facilities.
Client intermediation
Assets held by credit-linked and municipal bond vehicles at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, were as follows.
                 
(in billions)   September 30, 2007   December 31, 2006
 
Credit-linked note vehicles(a)
  $ 22.9     $ 20.2  
Municipal bond vehicles(b)
    25.1       16.9  
 
(a)  
Assets of $2.1 billion and $1.8 billion reported in the table above were recorded on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively, due to contractual relationships held by the Firm that relate to collateral held by the VIE.
(b)  
Total amounts consolidated due to the Firm owning residual interests were $6.8 billion and $4.7 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively, and are reported in the table. Total liquidity commitments were $17.5 billion and $10.2 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Firm’s maximum credit exposure to all municipal bond vehicles was $24.3 billion and $14.9 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The Firm may enter into transactions with VIEs structured by other parties. These transactions can include, for example, acting as a derivative counterparty, liquidity provider, investor, underwriter, placement agent, trustee or custodian. These transactions are conducted at arm’s length, and individual credit decisions are based upon the analysis of the specific VIE, taking into consideration the quality of the underlying assets. Where these activities do not cause JPMorgan Chase to absorb a majority of the expected losses of the VIEs or to receive a majority of the residual returns of the VIE, JPMorgan Chase records and reports these positions similarly to any other third-party transaction. These transactions are not considered significant for disclosure purposes.

Goodwill
Goodwill arises from business combinations and represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net fair value amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The increase in Goodwill primarily resulted from certain acquisitions by Treasury & Securities Services (“TSS”) and CS, and currency-translation adjustments on the Sears Canada credit card acquisition. These factors were partially offset by a reduction in Goodwill from the adoption of FIN 48, as well as adjustments for tax-related purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Bank One merger. For a discussion of the impact from adopting FIN 48, see Note 20 on page 105 of this Form 10-Q.
Goodwill was not impaired at September 30, 2007, or December 31, 2006, nor was any goodwill written off due to impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
Goodwill attributed to the business segments was as follows:

Mortgage servicing rights
For a further description of the MSR asset, interest rate risk management, and valuation methodology of MSRs, see Note 16 on pages 121–122 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. For a discussion of the valuation of MSRs, see Note 3 on page 76 of this Form 10-Q. The fair value of MSRs is sensitive to changes in interest rates, including their effect on prepayment speeds. JPMorgan Chase uses a combination of derivatives and trading instruments to manage changes in the fair value of MSRs. The intent is to offset any changes in the fair value of MSRs with changes in the fair value of the related risk management instruments. MSRs decrease in value when interest rates decline. Conversely, securities (such as mortgage–backed securities), principal-only certificates and certain derivatives (when the Firm receives fixed-rate interest payments) increase in value when interest rates decline.

The sensitivity analysis in the preceding table is hypothetical. Changes in fair value based upon a 10% and 20% variation in assumptions generally cannot be easily extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumptions to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect that a change in a particular assumption may have on the fair value 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.

Purchased credit card relationships and All other intangible assets
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, Purchased credit card relationships and All other intangibles decreased by $508 million and $412 million, respectively, primarily as a result of amortization expense.
Except for $513 million of indefinite-lived intangibles related to asset management advisory contracts which are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually, the remainder of the Firm’s other acquired intangible assets are subject to amortization.

For further discussion of SFAS 158, see Note 7 on pages 100–105 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
(f)  
The net change for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, represents the true-up adjustments, net of tax, based upon the final 2006 actuarial valuation for the U.S. defined benefit pension plan, the January 1, 2007, actuarial valuation for the U.S. OPEB plan, and the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost (credit), net of tax, into net periodic benefit cost.
NOTE 20 – INCOME TAXES
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized under SFAS 109. FIN 48 addresses the recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The Firm adopted and applied FIN 48 under the transition provisions to all of its income tax positions at the required effective date of January 1, 2007, resulting in a $436 million cumulative effect increase to Retained earnings, a reduction in Goodwill of $113 million and a $549 million decrease in the liability for income taxes.
At January 1, 2007, JPMorgan Chase’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest expense and penalties, was $4.7 billion of which $1.0 billion, if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate. As JPMorgan Chase is presently under audit by a number of tax authorities, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could change significantly over the next twelve months. JPMorgan Chase does not expect that any such changes would have a material impact on its effective tax rate over the next twelve months.
The Firm recognizes interest expense and penalties related to income tax liabilities in Income tax expense. Included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities at January 1, 2007, in addition to the Firm’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, was $1.3 billion for income tax-related interest and penalties, of which the penalty component was not material. Accrued income tax-related interest and penalties increased to $1.6 billion at September 30, 2007, due to the continuing outstanding status of the unrecognized tax benefit liability, the penalty component of which remains immaterial.
JPMorgan Chase is subject to ongoing tax examinations by the tax authorities of the various jurisdictions in which it operates, including U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Firm’s consolidated federal income tax returns are presently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the years 2003, 2004 and 2005. In addition, the consolidated federal income tax returns of heritage Bank One Corporation, which merged with and into JPMorgan Chase on July 1, 2004, are under examination for the years 2000 through 2003, and for the period January 1, 2004, through July 1, 2004. Both examinations are expected to conclude in 2008. Certain administrative appeals are pending with the IRS relating to prior examination periods, for JPMorgan Chase for the years 2001 and 2002, and for Bank One and its predecessor entities for various periods from 1996 through 1999. For years prior to 2001, refund claims relating to income and credit adjustments, and to tax attribute carrybacks, for JPMorgan Chase and its predecessor entities, including Bank One, either have been or will be filed. Also, interest rate swap valuations by a Bank One predecessor entity for the years 1990 through 1993 are, and have been, the subject of litigation in both the Tax Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals.

NOTE 21 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation reserve
The Firm maintains litigation reserves for certain of its outstanding litigation. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 5, JPMorgan Chase accrues for a litigation-related liability when it is probable that such a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, management believes, in light of all information known to it at September 30, 2007, the Firm’s litigation reserves were adequate at such date. Management reviews litigation reserves periodically, and the reserves may be increased or decreased in the future to reflect further litigation developments. The Firm believes it has meritorious defenses to claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding litigation and, with respect to such litigation, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management’s judgment as to what is in the best interests of stockholders.
NOTE 22 – ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The majority of JPMorgan Chase’s derivatives are entered into for trading purposes. Derivatives are also utilized by the Firm as an end-user to hedge market exposures, to modify the interest rate characteristics of related balance sheet instruments or to meet longer-term investment objectives. Both trading and end-user derivatives are recorded in Trading assets and Trading liabilities. For a further discussion of the Firm’s use of and accounting policies regarding derivative instruments, see Note 28 on pages 131-132 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. The following table presents derivative instrument hedging-related activities for the periods indicated.

(b)  
In the third quarter of 2007, the Firm did not issue short-term fixed rate Canadian Dollar denominated notes due to the weak credit market for Canadian short-term debt.
Over the next 12 months, it is expected that $147 million (after-tax) of net losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at September 30, 2007, will be recognized in earnings. The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is 10 years, and such transactions primarily relate to core lending and borrowing activities.
NOTE 23 – OFF–BALANCE SHEET LENDING-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND GUARANTEES
For a discussion of off–balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees, and the Firm’s related accounting policies, see Note 29 on pages 132–134 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. To provide for the risk of loss inherent in wholesale-related contracts, an allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments is maintained. See Note 14 on pages 93–94 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion regarding the Allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments.

(a)  
Includes credit card and home equity lending-related commitments of $700.2 billion and $74.2 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2007; and $657.1 billion and $69.6 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2006. The credit card and home equity lending–related commitments represent the total available credit for credit cards and home equity lines of credit. The Firm has not experienced, and does not anticipate, that all available lines of credit will be utilized at the same time. The Firm can reduce or cancel credit cards and home equity lines of credit by providing the borrower prior notice or, in some cases, without notice as permitted by law.
(b)  
Includes unused advised lines of credit totaling $39.2 billion at September 30, 2007, and $39.0 billion at December 31, 2006, which are not legally binding. In regulatory filings with the Federal Reserve Board, unused advised lines are not reportable.

Largely represents asset purchase agreements to the Firm’s administered multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduits. It also includes $1.4 billion of asset purchase agreements to other third party entities at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
(f)  
JPMorgan Chase held collateral relating to $15.4 billion and $13.5 billion of these arrangements at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively.
(g)  
Includes unused commitments to issue standby letters of credit of $59.1 billion and $45.7 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively.
(h)  
Collateral held by the Firm in support of securities lending indemnification agreements was $387.4 billion at September 30, 2007, and $317.9 billion at December 31, 2006.
(i)  
Represents notional amounts of derivatives qualifying as guarantees. For further discussion of guarantees, see Note 29 on pages 132–134 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
Included in Other unfunded commitments to extend credit are commitments to investment and non-investment grade counterparties in connection with leveraged acquisitions. These commitments are dependent on whether the acquisition by the borrower is successful, tend to be short-term in nature and, in most cases, are subject to certain conditions based on the borrower’s financial condition or other factors. Additionally, the Firm often syndicates portions of the initial position to other investors, depending on market conditions. These commitments generally contain flexible pricing features to adjust for changing market conditions prior to closing. Alternatively, the borrower may turn to the capital markets for required funding instead of drawing on the commitment provided by the Firm, and the commitment may expire unused. As such, these commitments are not necessarily indicative of the Firm’s actual risk and the total commitment amount may not reflect actual future cash flow requirements. The amount of these commitments at September 30, 2007, was $27.5 billion.
For a discussion of the off–balance sheet lending-related arrangements the Firm considers to be guarantees under FIN 45, and the related accounting policies, see Note 29 on pages 132–134 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. The amount of the liability related to FIN 45 guarantees recorded at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, excluding the Allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments and derivative contracts discussed above, was $324 million and $297 million, respectively.
In addition to the contracts described above, there are certain derivative contracts to which the Firm is a counterparty that meet the characteristics of a guarantee under FIN 45. For a discussion of the derivatives the Firm considers to be guarantees, and the related accounting policies, see Note 29 on pages 132–134 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report. The total notional value of the derivatives that the Firm deems to be guarantees was $88 billion and $72 billion at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. The fair value of these contracts was a derivative receivable of $228 million and $230 million, and a derivative payable of $1.8 billion and $987 million at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively.

NOTE 24 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS
JPMorgan Chase is organized into six major reportable business segments: IB, RFS, CS, Commercial Banking (“CB”), TSS and Asset Management (“AM”), as well as a Corporate segment. The segments are based upon the products and services provided or the type of customer served, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Results of these lines of business are presented on a managed basis. For a definition of managed basis, see the footnotes to the tables below. For a further discussion concerning JPMorgan Chase’s business segments, see Business segment results on page 16 of this Form 10-Q, and pages 34–35 and Note 33 on pages 139–141 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
Business segment financial disclosures
During the year, $19.4 billion and $6.5 billion held-for-investment residential mortgage loans were transferred to the Corporate segment from RFS and AM, respectively. Although the loans, together with the responsibility for the investment management of the portfolio, were transferred to Treasury, the transfer has no impact on the financial results of RFS, AM or Corporate.
Segment results
The following tables provide a summary of the Firm’s segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, on a managed basis. The impact of credit card securitization adjustments have been included in Reconciling items so that the total Firm results are on a reported basis. Finally, Total net revenue (Noninterest revenue and Net interest income) for each of the segments is presented on a tax-equivalent basis. Accordingly, revenue from tax-exempt securities and investments that receive tax credits are presented in the managed results on a basis comparable to taxable securities and investments. This approach allows management to assess the comparability of revenues arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to these items is recorded within Income tax expense (benefit). The following tables summarize the business segment results and reconciliation to reported U.S. GAAP results.

(a)  
In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management reviews the Firm’s and the lines’ of business results on a “managed” basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Firm’s definition of managed basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results and includes certain reclassifications that do not have any impact on Net income as reported by the lines of business or by the Firm as a whole.
(b)  
TSS reimburses IB for credit portfolio exposures IB manages on behalf of clients the segments share.

Includes Merger costs which are reported in the Corporate segment. Merger costs attributed to the business segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows.

Managed results for CS exclude the impact of credit card securitizations on Total net revenue, Provision for credit losses and Average assets, as JPMorgan Chase treats the sold receivables as if they were still on the balance sheet in evaluating the overall performance of CS as operations are funded, and decisions are made about allocating resources such as employees and capital, based upon managed information. These adjustments are eliminated in Reconciling items to arrive at the Firm’s reported U.S. GAAP results. The related securitization adjustments were as follows.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
From time to time, the Firm has made and will make forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipate,” “target,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “believe,” or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements provide JPMorgan Chase’s current expectations or forecasts of future events, circumstances, results or aspirations. JPMorgan Chase’s disclosures in this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Firm also may make forward-looking statements in its other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, the Firm’s senior management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others.
All forward-looking statements are, by their nature, subject to risks and uncertainties. JPMorgan Chase’s actual future results may differ materially from those set forth in its forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause this difference – many of which are beyond the Firm’s control – include the following: local, regional and international business, political or economic conditions; changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws; volatility in the credit, rates, debt and equity markets; technological changes instituted by the Firm and by other entities which may affect the Firm’s business; mergers and acquisitions, including the Firm’s ability to integrate acquisitions; ability of the Firm to develop new products and services; acceptance of new products and services and the ability of the Firm to increase market share; the ability of the Firm to control expenses; competitive pressures; changes in laws and regulatory requirements; changes in applicable accounting policies; costs, outcomes and effects of litigation and regulatory investigations; changes in the credit quality of the Firm’s customers; and adequacy of the Firm’s risk management framework.
Additional factors that may cause future results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are discussed in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors in the Firm’s 2006 Annual Report to which reference is hereby made. There is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete.
Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Firm speak only as of the date they are made and JPMorgan Chase does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made. The reader should, however, consult any further disclosures of a forward-looking nature the Firm may make in any subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
For a discussion of the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see the Market Risk Management section of the management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) on pages 62–65 of this Form 10-Q.
Item 4 Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Firm’s management, including its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective. See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 for the Certification statements issued by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer.
The Firm is committed to maintaining high standards of internal control over financial reporting. Nevertheless, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
There was no change in the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the third quarter of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1 Legal proceedings
Part II Other Information
Item 1 Legal proceedings
The following information supplements and amends the disclosure set forth under Part I, Item 3 “Legal proceedings” in the Firm’s 2006 Annual Report, Part II, Item 1 “Legal Proceedings” in the Firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2007 and Part II, Item 1 “Legal proceedings” in the Firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2007 (the “Firm’s SEC filings”).
Enron litigation. In the purported consolidated class action lawsuit by JPMorgan Chase stockholders, briefing on the plaintiffs’ appeal of the dismissal of their complaint to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is complete. In the shareholder derivative action against current and former directors of JPMorgan Chase, briefing on the plaintiffs’ appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit of the decision granting the Firm’s motion to dismiss is also complete.
In the action pending in New York Supreme Court, New York County, alleging claims relating to the Firm’s role as Indenture Trustee, defendant JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint on May 24, 2007. The parties await the Court’s decision.
IPO allocation litigation. With respect to the IPO securities cases, on August 14, 2007, plaintiffs filed second amended class action complaints in each of the six class certification focus cases. JPMSI is a named defendant in two of these cases. Underwriter defendants’ time to answer, move or otherwise respond to the amended complaints has been extended until November 9, 2007.
On September 27, 2007, plaintiffs filed a written motion seeking class certification in the six class certification focus cases. Under the briefing schedule currently in place, the underwriter defendants’ opposition papers are due by December 21, 2007, and plaintiffs’ reply papers are due by February 15, 2008. In addition, the parties are engaged in class certification discovery.
In re JPMorgan Chase Cash Balance Litigation. On July 31, 2007, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York denied plaintiffs’ motions for reconsideration and certification of the May 30, 2007 Order granting in part and denying in part plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.
On August 17, 2007, a Class Action Complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Bilello v. JPMorgan Chase Retirement Plan, JPMorgan Chase Director of Human Resources, as administrator of the JPMorgan Chase Retirement Plan. The complaint asserts claims on behalf of participants in the Chemical Bank Plan and certain other predecessor plans to the JPMorgan Chase Retirement Plan, including notice claims that were excluded from the class in In re JPMorgan Chase Cash Balance Litigation. More specifically, the Bilello complaint alleges that (1) defendants failed to comply with the notice and disclosure requirements of ERISA in connection with the conversion of the Chemical Bank Plan to a cash balance plan and subsequent mergers of the Chemical Bank Plan with other predecessor plans resulting in cash balance plans, and (2) the Chemical Bank Plan, following its conversion to a cash balance plan, was impermissibly backloaded in violation of 29 U.S.C. § 1054(b)(1)(B), ERISA § 204(b)(1)(B). Defendants anticipate filing a motion to dismiss in November 2007.
American Express Litigation. VISA and American Express reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation on November 1, 2007, including a settlement related to the banks’ membership in MasterCard. VISA will pay American Express approximately $2 billion over 4 years. The first payment of $1.13 billion is to be paid by no later than

March 31, 2008. It is anticipated that the VISA settlement will be funded from a portion of the proceeds generated from VISA’s currently planned IPO. As a result of the settlement, the defendant banks, including JPMorgan Chase, will be released and dismissed from the action. The defendant banks’ separate payment obligation with respect to the American Express settlement is $185 million. JPMorgan Chase’s contribution to the proposed settlement will have no material adverse effect on the Firm.
Interchange Litigation. The Magistrate Judge has recommended to the District Court that it grant defendants’ motion to dismiss all claims that predate January 1, 2004. Plaintiffs’ time to file objections to this recommendation has been extended pending a motion to clarify the effect, if any, of the Magistrate’s report and recommendation as to certain unnamed putative class members. JPMorgan Chase is a signatory to a judgment sharing agreement that Visa U.S.A. previously entered into with certain of its members.
In addition to the various cases, proceedings and investigations discussed above, JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries are named as defendants or otherwise involved in a number of other legal actions and governmental proceedings arising in connection with their businesses. Additional actions, investigations or proceedings may be initiated from time to time in the future. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages, or where the cases present novel legal theories, involve a large number of parties or are in early stages of discovery, the Firm cannot state with confidence what the eventual outcome of these pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be or what the eventual loss, fines, penalties or impact related to each pending matter may be. JPMorgan Chase believes, based upon its current knowledge, after consultation with counsel and after taking into account its current litigation reserves, that the outcome of the legal actions, proceedings and investigations currently pending against it should not have a material, adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Firm. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such proceedings, actions and investigations, there is no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not significantly exceed the reserves currently accrued by the Firm; as a result, the outcome of a particular matter may be material to JPMorgan Chase’s operating results for a particular period, depending upon, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability imposed and the level of JPMorgan Chase’s income for that period.
Item 1A Risk Factors
For a discussion of risk factors affecting the Firm, see Part 1, Item 1A, Risk Factors, on pages 4–6 and Forward-Looking Statements on page 147 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the third quarter of 2007, shares of common stock of JPMorgan Chase & Co. were issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, as follows: on July 27, 2007, 39,339 shares were issued to retired employees who had deferred receipt of such common shares pursuant to the Corporate Performance Incentive Plan.
The actual amount of shares repurchased under the Firm’s repurchase program is subject to various factors, including market conditions; legal considerations affecting the amount and timing of repurchase activity; the Firm’s capital position (taking into account goodwill and intangibles); internal capital generation; and alternative potential investment opportunities. The repurchase program does not include specific price targets or time tables; may be executed through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions or utilizing Rule 10b5-1 programs; and may be suspended at any time.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, under the respective stock repurchase programs then in effect, the Firm repurchased a total of 47.0 million shares and 164.6 million shares for $2.1 billion and $8.0 billion at an average price per share of $45.42 and $48.67, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, under the respective stock repurchase programs then in effect, the Firm repurchased a total of 20.0 million shares and 69.5 million shares for $900 million and $2.9 billion at an average price per share of $44.88 and $42.22, respectively. As of September 30, 2007, $6.4 billion of authorized repurchase capacity remained under the new stock repurchase program.
The Firm has determined that it may, from time to time, enter into written trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate the repurchase of common stock in accordance with the repurchase program. A Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan would allow the Firm to repurchase shares during periods when it would not otherwise be repurchasing common stock – for example, during internal trading “black-out periods.” All purchases under a Rule 10b5-1 plan must be made according to a predefined plan that is established when the Firm is not aware of material nonpublic information.
