Business overview
The Firm reported 2007 first-quarter net income of $4.8 billion, or $1.34 per share, compared with net income of $3.1 billion, or $0.86 per share, for the first quarter of 2006. Return on common equity for the quarter was 17% compared with 12% in the prior year. Income from continuing operations was $4.8 billion, or $1.34 per share, in the current quarter compared with $3.0 billion, or $0.85 per share, for the first quarter of 2006. The Firm’s adoption of SFAS 157 (“Fair Value Measurements”) resulted in a benefit to the current quarter’s earnings of $391 million (after-tax), or $0.11 per share; this benefit consisted of $103 million (after-tax) related to adjustments to the valuation of liabilities to incorporate the impact of the Firm’s credit quality (recorded in the Investment Bank) and $288 million (after-tax) related to the valuation of nonpublic private equity investments (recorded in the Corporate segment). For a discussion of SFAS 157 and SFAS 159, see Note 3 and Note 4 on pages 71–80 of this Form 10-Q.
In the first quarter of 2007, the Firm successfully completed the systems conversion and rebranding for 339 former Bank of New York branches. The Firm’s customers throughout the U.S. now have access to over 3,000 branches and 8,500 ATMs in 17 states, all of which are on common computer systems.
In the first quarter of 2007, the global economy continued to expand at a rate of approximately 5%, which supported continued strong growth in the emerging market economies. During the first quarter, the European economy slowed slightly with an estimated growth rate of 2.8%, Japan experienced steady growth of 2.8% and emerging Asian economies expanded at a rate of approximately 8.6%. U.S. economic growth slowed to a rate of approximately 1.3%, reflecting a solid gain in consumer spending, which was supported by equity market appreciation, low unemployment and wage growth. These benefits were offset partially by a continued slower pace of new home construction, weakness in government spending and a slower rate of capital spending by businesses. The Federal Reserve Board held the federal funds rate steady at 5.25% and the yield curve remained moderately inverted. Equity markets, both domestic and international, reflected positive performance, with the S&P 500 up 3% on average and international indices increasing 5% on average during the first quarter of 2007. Global capital markets activity was strong during the first quarter of 2007, with debt and equity underwriting and merger and acquisition activity surpassing levels from the first quarter of 2006. Demand for wholesale loans in the U.S. was up approximately 6%, while U.S. consumer loans grew an estimated 7% during the first quarter of 2007.
The first quarter of 2007 economic environment was a contributing factor to the performance of the Firm and each of its businesses. The overall economic expansion, strong level of capital markets activity and positive performance in equity markets helped to drive new business volume and organic growth within each of the Firm’s businesses while also contributing to the generally favorable credit environment. However, the interest rate and competitive environments negatively affected both wholesale and consumer loan and deposit spreads.

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 14–15 of this Form 10-Q.
Investment Bank achieved record net income driven by record revenue and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense. Investment banking fees were at a record level, benefiting from record debt and record equity underwriting fees as well as strong advisory fees. Record Fixed Income Markets revenue benefited from improved results in commodities (compared with a weak prior-year quarter), and strength in credit and rate markets, partially offset by lower results in currencies. Record Equity Markets revenue benefited from particularly strong performance in Europe and strong derivatives performance across regions. The Provision for credit losses decreased compared with the prior year as the prior-year provision reflected growth in the loan portfolio. The increase in expense was due primarily to higher performance-based compensation, partially offset by the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R.
Retail Financial Services net income decreased from the prior year due to a decline in Regional Banking results, largely offset by improved performance in Mortgage Banking. Revenue was up from the prior year driven by higher gain-on-sale income and the reclassification of certain loan origination costs to expense (previously netted against revenue) due to the adoption of SFAS 159 in Mortgage Banking, The Bank of New York transaction, higher home equity loans and deposit balances, increases in deposit-related fees and the absence of a prior-year loss related to auto loans transferred to held-for-sale. These benefits were offset partially by the sale of the insurance business, lower prime and subprime mortgage balances, and a charge resulting from accelerated surrenders of customer annuity contracts. The provision for credit losses was up from the prior year due primarily to higher losses in the subprime mortgages portfolio and, to a lesser extent, increased provision in the home equity portfolio related to weaker housing prices. These increases were offset partially by the reversal of a portion of the reserves related to Hurricane Katrina. Noninterest expense was up from the prior year primarily due to The Bank of New York transaction, the reclassification of certain loan origination costs due to the adoption of SFAS 159, investments in the retail distribution network and higher depreciation expense on owned automobiles subject to operating leases. These increases were offset partially by the sale of the insurance business.
Card Services net income decreased when compared with the prior year, primarily due to prior-year results benefiting from significantly lower net charge-offs related to decreased bankruptcy losses. Net managed revenue was flat compared with the prior year benefiting from higher average managed loan balances, increased fees and increased interchange income from higher charge volume. These benefits were largely offset by higher charge-offs, which resulted in increased revenue reversals; higher cost of funds on balance growth in promotional, introductory and transactor loan balances; and higher volume-driven payments to partners and increased rewards expense. The managed provision for credit losses was up due to the prior year benefiting from a lower level of net charge-offs, reflecting a reduction in bankruptcy losses following the change in bankruptcy legislation in the fourth quarter of 2005. This was partially offset by a reduction in the allowance for credit losses primarily relating to the strength in the underlying credit quality of the loan portfolio. Noninterest expense was flat due primarily to lower marketing expense and fraud-related losses, offset by higher expense related to recent acquisitions and increased customer activity.
Commercial Banking net income was a record, up from the prior year driven by higher net revenue. Revenue increased due to higher liability balances and loan volumes, which reflected organic growth and The Bank of New York transaction, as well as higher investment banking revenue and gains related to the sale of securities acquired in the satisfaction of debt. These benefits were offset partially by the continued shift to narrower-spread liability products and loan spread compression. Expense decreased due to the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R, largely offset by expense related to The Bank of New York transaction.
Treasury & Securities Services net income was flat compared with the prior year as higher revenue was offset by increased expense. Revenue benefited from increased product usage by existing clients, new business growth, higher liability balances and market appreciation, all of which was offset largely by price compression across Treasury Services products, a continued shift to narrower-spread liability products and lower foreign exchange revenue. The increase in expense was due to higher compensation expense related to growth in headcount supporting increased client volume and investment in new product platforms, partially offset by the absence of prior-year expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123R.

Asset Management achieved record net income driven by increased revenue and the absence of prior-year expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123R, offset primarily by higher compensation expense. Revenue benefited from increased fees and commissions largely due to increased assets under management and higher performance fees. Expense increased due to higher compensation and increased minority interest expense related to Highbridge Capital Management, partially offset by the absence of prior-year expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123R.
Corporate segment net income increased primarily from higher private equity gains and improved net interest income. Private equity gains benefited from a higher level of realized gains and a fair value adjustment on nonpublic investments resulting from the adoption of SFAS 157 as well as the reclassification of certain private equity carried interest from revenue to compensation expense. Treasury benefited from an increase in net interest income driven by improved net interest spread and the absence of securities losses in the prior year. Expense increased compared with the prior year driven by the reclassification of certain private equity carried interest to compensation expense and lower recoveries related to certain material litigation, offset primarily by business efficiencies and the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R.
Net income from discontinued operations was zero in the current quarter compared with $54 million in the prior year. Discontinued operations (included in the Corporate segment results) include the related balance sheet and income statement activity of selected corporate trust businesses that were sold to The Bank of New York on October 1, 2006.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, approximately $720 million (pretax) of merger savings was realized, which is an annualized rate of approximately $2.9 billion. Merger costs of $62 million were expensed during the first quarter of 2007 bringing the total amount expensed since the merger announcement to $3.5 billion (including capitalized costs).
The managed provision for credit losses was $1.6 billion, up by $321 million, or 25%, from the prior year. The wholesale provision for credit losses was $77 million for the quarter compared with a provision of $179 million in the prior year. The prior-year provision reflected growth in the loan portfolio. Wholesale net recoveries were $6 million in the current quarter compared with net recoveries of $20 million in the prior year, resulting in net recovery rates of 0.02% and 0.06%, respectively. The total consumer managed provision for credit losses was $1.5 billion compared with $1.1 billion in the prior year. The prior year benefited from a lower level of credit card net charge-offs, which reflected a low level of bankruptcy losses following the change in bankruptcy legislation in the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase from last year also reflects higher charge-offs and additions to the allowance for credit losses related to the subprime mortgage and home equity loan portfolios, partially offset by a reduction in the allowance for credit losses in Card Services. The Firm had total nonperforming assets of $2.4 billion at March 31, 2007, up by $73 million, or 3%, from the prior-year level of $2.3 billion.
The Firm had, at March 31, 2007, total stockholders’ equity of $117.7 billion and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%. The Firm purchased $4.0 billion, or 80.9 million shares, of common stock during the quarter. On April 17, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.38 per share on the outstanding shares of the Firm’s common stock, an increase of $0.04 per share, or 12%. The dividend is payable on July 31, 2007, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 6, 2007. On April 17, 2007, the Board of Directors also authorized a new $10.0 billion common stock repurchase program, which replaces the Firm’s previous $8.0 billion repurchase program authorized on March 21, 2006. There was $816 million of remaining authorization under the $8.0 billion repurchase program.

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 second quarter of 2007 should be viewed against the backdrop of the global economy, financial markets activity and the geopolitical environment, all of which are integrally linked. While the Firm considers outcomes for, and has contingency plans to respond to, stress environments, the current basic outlook is predicated on the interest rate movements implied in the forward rate curve for U.S. Treasury securities, the continuation of favorable U.S. and international equity markets and continued expansion of the global economy.
The Investment Bank enters the second quarter of 2007 with a strong investment bank fee pipeline. In the Corporate segment, the revenue outlook for the Private Equity business is directly related to the strength of the equity markets and the performance of the underlying portfolio investments. If current market conditions persist, the Firm anticipates continued realization of private equity gains, but results can be volatile from quarter to quarter. 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. The performance of each of the Firm’s lines of business will be affected by overall global economic growth, by financial market movements, including interest rates movements, by the competitive environment and by client activity levels in any given time period.
The Provision for credit losses is anticipated to be higher, primarily driven by a trend toward a more normal level of provisioning for credit losses in both the wholesale and consumer businesses. The consumer Provision for credit losses is anticipated to increase as the Firm experiences a higher level of net charge-offs in Card Services as bankruptcy filings continue to increase from the significantly lower than normal levels experienced in 2006 related to the change in bankruptcy law in 2005. The provision for credit losses was increased for both the subprime mortgage portfolio and, to a lesser extent, the home equity portfolio during the first quarter of 2007, and management remains cautious with respect to the real estate lending portfolio given continued downward pressure on housing prices and the elevated level of unsold homes nationally.
Firmwide expense is anticipated to reflect investments in each business, recent acquisitions, continued merger savings and other operating efficiencies. Annual Merger savings are expected to reach approximately $3.0 billion by the end of 2007, upon the completion of the last significant conversion activity, which is the wholesale deposit conversion scheduled for the second half of 2007. Merger costs of approximately $400 million are expected to be incurred during 2007 (including a modest amount related to The Bank of New York transaction). These additions are expected to bring total cumulative merger costs to $3.8 billion by the end of 2007.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following section provides a comparative discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s consolidated results of operations on a reported basis. Factors that relate primarily to a single business segment are discussed in more detail within that business segment than they are in this consolidated section. Total net revenue, Noninterest expense and Income tax expense reflect the impact of discontinued operations. For a discussion of the Critical accounting estimates used by the Firm that affect the Consolidated results of operations, see page 64 of this Form 10-Q and pages 83–85 of the JPMorgan Chase Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Effective January 1, 2007, certain transaction costs previously reported within Principal transactions and Asset management, administration and commission revenues have now been classified and are reported in Professional and outside services expense. Reclassified amounts for 2006, 2005 and 2004 are set forth in the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as amended by the Firm’s Form 8-K filed May 10, 2007 (“2006 Annual Report”).

Certain transaction costs, previously reported within Revenue, have been reclassified to Noninterest expense. Revenue and Noninterest expense have been reclassified for all periods presented. The reclassification did not affect Income from continuing operations or Net income.
Total Net revenue
Total net revenue for the first quarter of 2007 was $19.0 billion, up by $3.8 billion, or 25%, from the prior year. The increase was due to higher Principal transactions revenue, reflecting very strong private equity gains (including the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157) and record Fixed Income and record Equity markets revenue, higher Net interest income, record Investment banking fees, increased Asset management, administration and commissions revenue, and higher Mortgage fees and related income (including the impact of the adoption of SFAS 159). These improvements were partially offset by lower Credit card income.
Investment banking fees of $1.7 billion in the first quarter 2007 was a record for the Firm. This result was driven by record debt and record equity underwriting as well as strong advisory fees. For a further discussion of Investment banking fees, which are primarily recorded in the IB, see the IB segment results on pages 17–20 of this Form 10-Q.
Principal transactions revenue consists of trading revenue, changes in fair value associated with financial instruments held by the IB for which the SFAS 159 fair value option was elected and private equity gains. Trading revenue of $3.1 billion in the first quarter of 2007 was a record for the Firm, driven primarily by strong fixed income and equities performance. Credit Portfolio revenue was up, driven largely by an adjustment to the valuation of the Firm’s derivative liabilities and other liabilities measured at fair value to reflect the credit quality of the Firm, as a part of the adoption of SFAS 157, and higher trading revenue from credit portfolio management activities. Private equity gains were very strong, benefiting from a higher level of realized gains, a fair value adjustment to nonpublic investments of $464 million resulting from the adoption of SFAS 157, and the reclassification of certain private equity carried interest to Compensation expense. For a further discussion of Principal transactions revenue, see the IB and Corporate segment results on pages 17–20 and 37–39, respectively, and Note 5 on pages 80–82 of this Form 10-Q.
Lending & deposit related fees rose from the first quarter of 2006 as a result of higher deposit-related fees, which in part, resulted from The Bank of New York transaction. For a further discussion of Lending & deposit related fees, which are primarily recorded in RFS see the RFS segment results on pages 21–27 of this Form 10-Q.
The increase in Asset management, administration and commissions revenue compared with the first quarter of 2006 was primarily due to increased assets under management and higher performance fees. Assets under management in AM was $1.1 trillion at the end of the first quarter of 2007, up 21%, or $180 billion, from the prior year; this growth was primarily

the result of net asset inflows in the institutional and retail segments, and market appreciation. Also contributing to the increase was higher assets under custody in TSS driven by market value appreciation and new business, as well as growth in other fees due to a combination of increased product usage by existing clients and new business growth. In addition, commissions increased due to higher brokerage transaction volume, partly offset by the sale of the insurance business in the third quarter of 2006, and a charge resulting from accelerated surrenders of customer annuity contracts. For additional information on these fees and commissions, see the segment discussions for AM on pages 34–36, TSS on pages 32–33, and RFS on pages 21–27, of this Form 10-Q.
The favorable variance in Securities gains (losses) when compared with the first quarter of 2006 primarily reflects the absence of $158 million of securities losses in the prior year from repositioning of the Treasury investment securities portfolio. 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 37–39 of this Form 10-Q.
Mortgage fees and related income increased in comparison with the first quarter of 2006 due to increased production revenue reflecting higher gain-on-sale income and the reclassification of certain loan origination costs to expense (previously netted against revenue) due to the adoption of SFAS 159. Net mortgage servicing revenue improved reflecting an increase in third-party loans serviced. 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 25–26 and Note 6 on page 83 of this Form 10-Q.
Credit card income decreased $347 million, or 18%, from the prior year primarily from lower servicing fees earned in connection with securitization activities, which were unfavorably affected by higher net credit losses incurred on securitized credit card loans, an increase in interest paid to investors in securitized loans, and a decrease in average securitized loans from the prior year. Also, contributing to the decrease were increases in volume-driven payments to partners and increased expenses related to rewards programs. These were offset partially by higher customer charge volume that favorably impacted interchange income and an increase in fee-based product revenue.
The decrease in Other income from the first quarter of 2006 reflected lower gains from loan workouts, partially offset by higher results on corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies and the absence of a prior-year $50 million loss related to auto loans transferred to held-for-sale.
Net interest income rose from the first quarter of last year as a result of improved trading-related Net interest income, primarily from the impact of a shift of Interest expense to Principal transactions revenue related to certain IB structured notes to which the fair value option was elected in connection with the adoption of SFAS 159; an improvement in Treasury’s net interest spread; higher average credit card balances, which included a private-label credit card portfolio acquisition by CS; higher home equity loans; the impact of The Bank of New York transaction; and higher wholesale liability balances and consumer deposits. These increases were offset partially by narrower spreads on consumer and wholesale loans; increased credit card-related interest reversals in the current quarter associated with higher charge-offs; a shift to narrower spread deposit products; and the impact of RFS’s sale of the insurance business. The Firm’s total average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2007 were $1.1 trillion, up 12% from the first quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of an increase in Trading assets – debt instruments, Loans, and Available-for-sale securities, 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 2.39%, an increase of 20 basis points from the prior year, partly reflecting the shift of Interest expense to Principal transactions revenue related to certain IB structured notes to which the fair value option was elected in connection with the adoption of SFAS 159.

(in millions)   2007     2006     Change
 
Provision for credit losses
  $ 1,008     $ 831       21 %
 
Provision for credit losses
The Provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2007 increased by $177 million from 2006 due to a $279 million increase in the consumer Provision for credit losses, partly offset by a $102 million decrease in the wholesale Provision for credit losses. The increase in the consumer provision was driven by the following: in RFS, higher losses in the subprime mortgage portfolio and, to a lesser extent, a provision increase against the home equity portfolio related to weaker housing prices; and in CS, the prior-year quarter benefited from lower net charge-offs, which reflected a reduction in bankruptcy-related losses following the change in bankruptcy legislation in the fourth quarter of 2005. The current quarter benefited from an $85 million reduction in the allowance for credit losses, primarily related to strength in the underlying credit quality of the credit card portfolio, and by the reversal of a portion of the reserves in RFS related to

Hurricane Katrina. The decrease in the wholesale provision was largely the result of a higher provision in the prior year due to growth in the loan portfolio. For a more detailed discussion of the loan portfolio and the Allowance for loan losses, refer to Credit risk management on pages 48–60 of this Form 10-Q.

(a)  
Certain transaction costs, previously reported within Revenue, have been reclassified to Noninterest expense. Revenue and Noninterest expense have been reclassified for all periods presented. The reclassification did not affect Income from continuing operations or Net income.
Noninterest expense
Total Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2007 was $10.6 billion, up by $848 million, or 9%, from the prior year. The increase was driven by higher Compensation expense, primarily from performance-based incentives. In addition, expense growth was also driven by acquisitions and investments in businesses, as well as lower insurance recoveries related to certain material litigation. The increase in expense was offset partially by the absence of a prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R, as well as business divestitures and operating expense efficiencies.
The increase in Compensation expense from the first quarter of 2006 was primarily the result of higher performance-based incentives, additional headcount in connection with acquisitions and investments in businesses, the reclassification of certain private equity carried interest from Principal transactions revenue, as well as the reclassification of certain loan origination costs (previously netted against revenue) due to the adoption of SFAS 159. These increases were partially offset by the absence of a prior-year expense of $459 million from the adoption of SFAS 123R, business divestitures and expense efficiencies throughout the Firm. For a detailed discussion of the adoption of SFAS 159 and SFAS 123R see Note 4 on pages 77–80 and Note 9 on page 85, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
The increase in Occupancy expense from the first quarter of 2006 was driven by ongoing investments in the retail distribution network, which included incremental expense from The Bank of New York transaction.
The increase in Technology, communications and equipment expense, when compared with the first quarter of 2006, was due primarily to higher depreciation expense on owned automobiles subject to operating leases and technology investments to support business growth, partially offset by operating expense efficiencies.
Professional & outside services expense increased from the first quarter of 2006 due primarily to higher brokerage expense and credit card processing costs as a result of growth in transaction volume. Also contributing to the increase was acquisitions and investments in businesses.
Marketing expense was lower when compared with the first quarter of 2006, reflecting lower expenditures for credit card campaigns.
Other expense declined compared with the first quarter of 2006 due to the sale of the insurance business in the third quarter of 2006, lower charges related to litigation, and lower credit card fraud-related losses. These items were partially offset by lower insurance recoveries pertaining to certain litigation matters, and growth in business volume, acquisitions and investments in businesses.
For a discussion of Amortization of intangibles and Merger costs, refer to Note 17 and Note 10 on pages 96–98 and 85, respectively, of the Form 10-Q.

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 66–69 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 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 assumes credit card loans securitized by CS remain on the balance sheet and presents 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 27–29 of this Form 10-Q. For information regarding the securitization process, and loans and residual interests sold and securitized, see Note 15 on pages 90–94 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 presented 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, the IB recognized a benefit, in the current quarter, 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)  
Certain transaction costs, previously reported within Revenue, have been reclassified to Noninterest expense. Revenue and Noninterest expense have been reclassified for all periods presented.
(c)  
Total net revenue includes tax-equivalent adjustments, primarily due to tax-exempt income from municipal bond investments and income tax credits related to affordable housing investments, of $152 million and $194 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
(d)  
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.

(e)  
For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Compensation expense to Total net revenue ratio is 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.
(f)  
Net Interest Income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, increased from the prior year due primarily to the adoption of SFAS 159. For certain IB structured notes elected, all components of earnings are reported in Principal transaction; causing a shift between Principal transactions and Net interest income in the first quarter of 2007.
Quarterly results
Net income was a record $1.5 billion, up by $690 million, or 81%, compared with the prior year. Earnings growth reflected record revenue and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Net revenue was a record $6.3 billion, up 30% from the prior year, driven by record investment banking fees and record markets results. Investment banking fees of $1.7 billion were up 48% from the prior year driven by record debt and record equity underwriting as well as strong advisory fees. Debt underwriting fees of $864 million were up 52% driven by record bond underwriting fees and strong loan syndication fees, which benefited from both leveraged and high grade issuance. Advisory fees of $472 million were up 21%, with particular strength in the Americas. Equity underwriting fees of $393 million were up 85%, reflecting strength in common stock and convertible offerings in the Americas and Europe. Record Fixed Income Markets revenue of $2.6 billion was up 25% from the prior year, benefiting from improved results in commodities (compared with a weak prior-year quarter) as well as strength in credit and rate markets, partially offset by lower results in currencies. Record Equity Markets revenue of $1.5 billion increased 22%, benefiting from particularly strong performance in Europe as well as strong derivatives performance across regions. Credit Portfolio revenue of $394 million was up 23%, due to the incorporation of an adjustment to the valuation of the firm’s derivative liabilities measured at fair value that reflects the credit quality of the firm, in conjunction with SFAS 157 (“Fair Value Measurements”), and higher trading revenue from credit portfolio management activities, partially offset by lower gains from loan workouts.
Provision for credit losses was $63 million compared with $183 million in the prior year. The prior-year provision reflected growth in the loan portfolio.
Noninterest expense was $3.8 billion, up by $511 million, or 15%, from the prior year. This increase was due to higher compensation expense, primarily performance-based, partially offset by the absence of expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R in the prior-year quarter.

(a)  
Loans held-for-sale are excluded from the allowance coverage ratio and Net charge-off rate. Loans held-for-sale for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, reflect the impact of reclassifying $11.7 billion of Loans held-for-sale to Trading assets as a result of the adoption of SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2007.
(b)  
Loans retained include credit portfolio loans, leveraged leases, bridge loans for underwriting, other accrual loans and certain loans carried at fair value. Average loans carried at fair value were $900 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This amount is excluded from Total loans for the allowance coverage ratio and Net charge-off rate.
(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 (VIEs) 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 the 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. The IB believes an adjusted asset amount that excludes the assets discussed above, which are considered to have a low risk profile, provides a more meaningful measure of balance sheet leverage in the securities industry.
(d)  
Nonperforming loans include Loans held-for-sale of $4 million and $68 million at March 31, 2007, and March 31, 2006, respectively, which are excluded from the allowance coverage ratios. Nonperforming loans exclude distressed HFS loans purchased as part of IB’s proprietary activities. During the first quarter of 2007, the Firm elected the fair value option of accounting for this portfolio of nonperforming loans. These loans are classified as Trading assets at March 31, 2007.
(e)  
Average VARs are less than the sum of the VARs of its market risk components, which is due to risk offsets resulting from portfolio diversification. The diversification effect reflects the fact that the risks are not perfectly correlated. The risk of a portfolio of positions is therefore usually less than the sum of the risks of the positions themselves.
(f)  
For a more complete description of VAR, see page 60 of this Form 10-Q.
(g)  
Includes VAR on derivative credit and debit 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. The VAR does not include the retained loan portfolio.

For a discussion of the business profile of RFS, see pages 38–42 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.
During the first quarter of 2006, RFS completed the purchase of Collegiate Funding Services, which contributed an education loan servicing capability and provided an entry into the Federal Family Education Loan Program consolidation market. On July 1, 2006, RFS sold its life insurance and annuity underwriting businesses to Protective Life Corporation. On October 1, 2006, JPMorgan Chase completed The Bank of New York transaction, significantly strengthening RFS’s distribution network in the New York Tri-state area.

(a)  
As a result of the adoption of SFAS 159, certain loan origination costs have been reclassified to expense (previously netted against revenue) in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, resulting in increases in Mortgage fees and related income, Noninterest expense and the Overhead ratios.
(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 the 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 excludes 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 quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Quarterly results
Net income of $859 million was down by $22 million, or 2%, from the prior year.
Net revenue of $4.1 billion was up by $343 million, or 9%, from the prior year. Net interest income of $2.6 billion was up 2% due to The Bank of New York transaction, higher home equity loans and deposit balances in Regional Banking, and wider loan spreads in Auto Finance. These benefits were offset partially by lower prime and subprime mortgage balances, the sale of the insurance business, lower auto loan and lease balances, and narrower spreads on deposits. Noninterest revenue of $1.5 billion was up by $288 million, or 24%. Results benefited from higher gain-on-sale income and the reclassification of certain loan origination costs to expense (previously netted against revenue) due to the adoption of SFAS 159 in Mortgage Banking; increases in deposit—related fee revenue; the absence of a prior-year loss related to auto loans transferred to held-for-sale; The Bank of New York transaction; and higher automobile operating lease revenue. These benefits were offset partially by the sale of the insurance business, and a charge resulting from accelerated surrenders of customer annuity contracts.
The provision for credit losses of $292 million was up by $207 million from the prior year. This increase was due to higher losses in the subprime mortgage portfolio and, to a lesser extent, increased provision in the home equity portfolio related to weaker housing prices. These increases were offset partially by the reversal of a portion of the reserves related to Hurricane Katrina. The Firm’s exposure to subprime mortgages is deemed manageable, with current quarter outstandings of $9.0 billion and net charge-offs of $20 million (0.92% net charge-off rate), compared with $15.1 billion of loans and net charge-offs of $9 million (0.26% net charge-off rate) in the prior-year quarter. Since the Firm’s current expectations are for continued poor loss experience in subprime mortgages and that weaker home prices are expected to continue to affect losses in the home equity portfolio, underwriting standards were tightened during the quarter.
Noninterest expense of $2.4 billion was up by $169 million, or 8%, primarily due to The Bank of New York transaction, the reclassification of certain loan origination costs due to the adoption of SFAS 159, investments in the retail distribution network and higher depreciation expense on owned automobiles subject to operating leases. These increases were offset partially by the sale of the insurance business.

(a)  
Regional Banking 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 the earlier years and a lower overhead ratio in later years; this inclusion would result in an improving overhead ratio over time, all things remaining equal. This non-GAAP ratio excludes 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 quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Quarterly results
Regional Banking net income of $690 million was down by $67 million, or 9%, from the prior year. Net revenue of $3.1 billion was up by $52 million, or 2%. Results benefited from The Bank of New York transaction; growth in home equity loans and deposits; and increases in deposit-related fees. These revenue benefits were offset partially by the sale of the insurance business, a continued shift to narrower-spread deposit products, and a charge resulting from accelerated surrenders of customer annuity contracts. The provision for credit losses was $233 million, up by $167 million, primarily related to higher losses in the subprime mortgage portfolio and to a lesser extent increased provision in the home equity portfolio related to weaker housing prices. These increases were offset partially by the reversal of a portion of the reserves related to Hurricane Katrina. Noninterest expense of $1.7 billion was flat, as increases due to The Bank of New York transaction and investments in the retail distribution network were offset by the sale of the insurance business.

Quarterly results
Mortgage Banking net income was $84 million compared with $39 million in the prior year. Net revenue of $604 million was up by $216 million, or 56%, from the prior year. Revenue comprises production revenue and net mortgage servicing revenue. Production revenue was $400 million, up by $181 million, reflecting higher gain-on-sale income and the reclassification of certain loan origination costs to expense (previously netted against revenue) 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 $204 million compared with $169 million in the prior year. Loan servicing revenue of $601 million increased by $41 million on a 13% increase in third-party loans serviced. MSR risk management revenue of negative $19 million improved by $23 million from the prior year. Other changes in fair value of the MSR asset, representing run-off of the asset against the realization of servicing cash flows, were negative $378 million. Noninterest expense was $468 million, up by $144 million, or 44%, reflecting the reclassification of certain loan origination costs due to the adoption SFAS 159 and higher compensation expense reflecting higher loan originations and a greater number of loan officers.

Quarterly results
Auto Finance net income of $85 million was flat compared with the prior year. Net revenue of $410 million was up by $75 million, or 22%, reflecting the absence of a prior-year $50 million pretax loss related to auto loans transferred to held-for-sale, higher automobile operating lease revenue, and wider loan spreads on lower loan and direct finance lease balances. The provision for credit losses was $59 million, an increase of $40 million from the prior year, primarily reflecting a reduction of the allowance for credit losses in the prior year. Noninterest expense of $210 million increased by $34 million, or 19%, 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.
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 14–15 of this Form 10-Q.

Quarterly results
Net income of $765 million was down by $136 million, or 15%, 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 $146.6 billion increased by $12.3 billion, or 9%, from the prior year. Average managed loans of $149.4 billion increased by $11.4 billion, or 8%, from the prior year. The current quarter included $2.0 billion of average and $1.9 billion of end-of-period managed loans acquired with the Kohl’s private-label portfolio in the second quarter of 2006.
Net managed revenue was $3.7 billion, flat as compared with the prior year. Net interest income of $3.0 billion was down by $24 million, or 1%, from the prior year. The decrease was driven by higher charge-offs, which resulted in increased revenue reversals in the current quarter and higher cost of funds on balance growth in promotional, introductory and transactor loan balances. These declines were partially offset by higher average managed loan balances and increased fees. Noninterest revenue of $691 million was up by $19 million, or 3%, from the prior year.

Interchange income increased, benefiting from 9% higher charge volume, but was more than offset by higher volume-driven payments to partners and increased rewards expense (both of which are netted against interchange income). An additional factor impacting noninterest revenue was an increase in fee-based product revenue.
The managed provision for credit losses was $1.2 billion, up by $213 million, or 21%, from the prior year. The prior-year quarter benefited from lower net charge-offs, which reflected a reduction in bankruptcy-related losses following the change in bankruptcy legislation in the fourth quarter of 2005. The current quarter benefited from an $85 million reduction in the allowance for credit losses, primarily related to strength in the underlying credit quality of the loan portfolio. The managed net charge-off rate for the quarter was 3.57%, up from 2.99% in the prior year. The 30-day managed delinquency rate was 3.07%, down from 3.10% in the prior year.
Noninterest expense of $1.2 billion was flat compared with the prior year, primarily due to lower marketing expense and lower fraud-related losses, offset by higher expense related to recent acquisitions and increased customer activity.

(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 measures on pages 1415 of this Form 10-Q.

Quarterly results
Net income was a record $304 million, up by $64 million, or 27%, from the prior year, driven by higher net revenue.
Net revenue was $1.0 billion, up by $103 million, or 11%, from the prior year. Net interest income of $668 million was flat. The benefit of higher liability balances and loan volumes, which reflected organic growth and The Bank of New York transaction, were offset largely by the continued shift to narrower–spread liability products and loan-spread compression. Noninterest revenue of $335 million was up by $102 million, or 44%, primarily due to higher investment banking revenue as well as gains related to the sale of securities acquired in the satisfaction of debt.
On a segment basis, Middle Market Banking revenue of $661 million increased by $38 million, or 6%, from the prior year due to growth across all product areas and The Bank of New York transaction. Mid-Corporate Banking revenue of $212 million increased by $75 million, or 55%, reflecting higher investment banking revenue and a gain on the sale of securities acquired in the satisfaction of debt. Real Estate revenue of $102 million decreased by $3 million, or 3%.
Provision for credit losses was $17 million compared with $7 million in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $485 million, down by $13 million, or 3%, from the prior year due to the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R primarily offset by expense related to The Bank of New York transaction.

Quarterly results
Net income was $263 million, flat compared with the prior year. Earnings benefited from increased revenue and the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R, but these items were offset by higher compensation expense and investment in new product platforms.
Net revenue was $1.5 billion, up by $41 million, or 3%, from the prior year. Worldwide Securities Services net revenue of $837 million was up by $45 million, or 6%, driven by increased product usage by existing clients and new business growth, as well as market appreciation. These benefits were partially offset by lower foreign exchange revenue as a result of narrower market spreads. Treasury Services net revenue of $689 million was down by $4 million, or 1%, driven by a continued shift to narrower–spread liability products and price compression across all products, primarily offset by an increase in average liability balances from new and existing clients. TSS firmwide net revenue, which includes Treasury Services net revenue recorded in other lines of business, grew to $2.1 billion, up by $59 million, or 3%. Treasury Services firmwide net revenue grew to $1.3 billion, up by $14 million, or 1%.
Provision for credit losses was $6 million compared with a benefit of $4 million in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $1.1 billion, up by $27 million, or 3%. The increase was due largely to higher compensation expense related to growth in headcount supporting increased client volume and investment in new product platforms, partially offset by the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R.

Pretax margin represents Income before income tax expense divided by Total net revenue, which is a measure of pretax performance and another basis by which management evaluates its performance and that of its competitors.
Quarterly results
Net income was a record $425 million, up by $112 million, or 36%, from the prior year. Improved results were due to increased revenue and the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R, partially offset by higher compensation expense.
Net revenue of $1.9 billion was up by $320 million, or 20%, from the prior year. Noninterest revenue, principally fees and commissions, of $1.7 billion was up by $321 million, or 24%. This increase was due largely to increased assets under management and higher performance fees. Net interest income of $245 million was flat from the prior year, primarily due to a shift to narrower–spread deposit products offset by higher deposit and loan balances.
Private Bank revenue grew 27%, to $560 million, due to higher asset management and placement fees and higher deposit balances, partially offset by narrower spreads on deposits. Institutional revenue grew 27%, to $551 million, due to net asset inflows and performance fees. Retail revenue grew 19%, to $527 million, primarily due to net asset inflows and market appreciation. Private Client Services revenue of $266 million was flat compared with the prior year, as increased revenue from higher assets under management was offset by narrower spreads on deposits and loans.

Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $9 million compared with a benefit of $7 million in the prior year.
Noninterest expense of $1.2 billion was up by $137 million, or 12%, from the prior year. The increase was due to higher compensation and increased minority interest expense related to Highbridge Capital Management, partially offset by the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R.

Assets under supervision
Assets under supervision were $1.4 trillion, up 17%, or $198 billion, from the prior year. Assets under management were $1.1 trillion, up 21%, or $180 billion, from the prior year. The increase was the result of net asset inflows in the institutional segment, primarily in liquidity and alternative products; retail flows, primarily in equity-related products; and market appreciation. Custody, brokerage, administration and deposit balances were $342 billion, up by $18 billion.

Quarterly results
Net income was $631 million compared with a net loss of $366 million in the prior year. Results benefited from higher private equity gains and improved Net interest income.
Net revenue was $1.3 billion compared with negative $404 million in the prior year. The improvement was driven by the Private Equity and Treasury segments. Private equity gains were $1.3 billion compared with $237 million, benefiting from a higher level of realized gains, a fair value adjustment on nonpublic investments of $464 million resulting from the adoption of SFAS 157, and the reclassification of certain private equity carried interest to compensation expense. Treasury’s results benefited from a $380 million increase in Net interest income due to improved net interest spread, as well as the absence of $158 million of securities losses in the prior year.
Noninterest expense was $354 million, up from $335 million in the prior year, reflecting the reclassification of certain private equity carried interest to Compensation expense and lower recoveries related to certain material litigation, primarily offset by business efficiencies and the absence of prior-year expense from the adoption of SFAS 123R.
Discontinued operations include the related balance sheet and income statement activity of selected corporate trust businesses sold to The Bank of New York on October 1, 2006. Prior to the second quarter of 2006, these corporate trust businesses were reported in Treasury & Securities Services. Net income from discontinued operations was $54 million in the prior year.

The carrying value of the private equity portfolio at March 31, 2007, was $6.4 billion, up $346 million from December 31, 2006. The portfolio increase was primarily due to a favorable adjustment 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 March 31, 2007, up from 8.6% at December 31, 2006.

Consolidated balance sheets overview
At March 31, 2007, the Firm’s total assets were $1.4 trillion, an increase of $57.4 billion, or 4%, from December 31, 2006. Total liabilities were $1.3 trillion, an increase of $55.5 billion, or 4%, from December 31, 2006. Stockholders’ equity was $117.7 billion, an increase of $1.9 billion, or 2%, from December 31, 2006. The following is a discussion of the significant changes in balance sheet items during the first quarter of 2007.
Deposits with banks; Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements; Securities borrowed; Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements; and Commercial paper and other borrowed funds
The Firm utilizes Deposits with banks, Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, Securities borrowed, Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements and Commercial paper and other borrowed funds as part of its liquidity management activities, in order to manage the Firm’s cash positions and risk-based capital requirements, to maximize liquidity access and to minimize funding costs. In the first quarter of 2007, Deposits with banks, Securities purchased under resale agreements and Securities borrowed increased in connection with higher levels of funds that were available for short-term investment opportunities. Securities sold under repurchase agreements and Commercial paper increased primarily due to short-term requirements to fund trading positions and AFS securities inventory levels, as well as a result of growth in the demand for Commercial paper. For additional information on the Firm’s Liquidity risk management, see pages 46–48 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 securities, convertible cash instruments, loans and physical commodities. The increase in trading assets over December 31, 2006, was due primarily to the more favorable capital markets environment, with growth in client-driven market-making activities. In addition, an aggregate $23.3 billion of loans warehoused by the IB and prime mortgage loans warehoused by RFS are now accounted for at fair value under SFAS 159 and classified as trading assets in the consolidated balance sheets. For additional information, refer to Note 5 on pages 80–82 and Note 4 on pages 77–80 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. The changes in derivative receivables and payables from December 31, 2006 were primarily due to the decline in the U.S. Dollar and rising interest rates. For additional information, refer to Derivative contracts and Note 5 on pages 54–56 and 80–82, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Securities
The Firm’s securities portfolio, almost all of which is classified as AFS, is used primarily to manage the Firm’s exposure to interest rate movements. The AFS portfolio increased by $5.1 billion from December 31, 2006, primarily due to net purchases in the Treasury investment securities portfolio related to 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 37–39 and 86, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Loans
The Firm provides loans to customers of all sizes, from large corporate 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, declined $33.4 billion, or 7%, from December 31, 2006, as an aggregate $23.3 billion of loans warehoused by the IB and prime mortgage loans warehoused by RFS are now accounted for at fair value under SFAS 159 and classified as trading assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Also contributing to the decrease was the seasonal pattern of higher customer payments on credit card receivables and the restructuring during the first quarter of 2007 of a Firm-administered multi-seller conduit, which resulted in the deconsolidation of $3.2 billion of Loans. For a more detailed discussion of the loan portfolio and the Allowance for loan losses, refer to Credit risk management on pages 48–60 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 $123 million decline in Goodwill was primarily due to the adoption of FIN 48, which resulted in a $113 million reduction. For additional information, see Note 17 on pages 96–98 and Note 20 on page 100 of this Form 10-Q.
Other intangible assets
The Firm’s other intangible assets consist of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), purchased credit card relationships, other credit card–related intangibles, core deposit intangibles and all other intangibles. The $48 million increase in Other intangible assets partly reflects higher MSRs of $391 million, primarily due to additional MSRs generated from loan sales and securitizations. Partially offsetting the increase in MSRs was the amortization of intangibles, in particular, credit card-related and core deposit intangibles. For additional information on MSRs and other intangible assets, see Note 17 on pages 96–98 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 and negotiable order of withdrawal (“NOW”) accounts). Deposits help provide a stable and consistent source of funding to the Firm. Deposits declined by $12.4 billion, or 2%, from December 31, 2006. Wholesale deposits were lower partly reflecting a seasonal decline in demand deposit balances relative to the end of 2006. This decline was partly offset by growth in retail deposits as a result of new account acquisitions, the ongoing expansion of the retail branch distribution network, and seasonal tax-related increases in client balances. For more information on deposits, refer to the RFS and AM segment discussions and the Liquidity risk management discussion on pages 21–27, 34–36 and 46–48, 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 30–31 and 32–33, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Beneficial interests issued by consolidated VIEs
Beneficial interests issued by consolidated VIEs declined $3.1 billion, or 19%, from December 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 44–45 and Note 16 on pages 95–96 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 liquidity and capital management activities. Long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities increased by $9.7 billion, or 7%, from December 31, 2006, reflecting net new issuances, including client-driven structured notes. For additional information on the Firm’s long-term debt activities, see the Liquidity risk management discussion on pages 46–48 of this Form 10-Q.
Stockholders’ equity
Total stockholders’ equity increased by $1.9 billion, or 2%, from year-end 2006 to $117.7 billion at March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily the result of Net income for the first three 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, 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. 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 page 65, Note 3 on pages 71–77, Note 4 on pages 77–80 and Note 20 on page 100 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 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 96 of this Form 10-Q.

Regulatory capital
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.
In 2005, the FRB issued a final rule, which became effective April 11, 2005, that continues the inclusion of trust preferred capital debt securities in Tier 1 capital, subject to stricter quantitative limits and revised qualitative standards, and broadens the definition of restricted core capital elements. The rule provides for a five-year transition period. As an internationally active bank holding company, JPMorgan Chase is subject to the rule’s limitation on restricted core capital elements, including trust preferred capital debt securities, to 15% of total core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. At March 31, 2007, JPMorgan Chase’s restricted core capital elements were 14.5% of total core capital elements.
Tier 1 capital was $82.5 billion at March 31, 2007, compared with $81.1 billion at December 31, 2006, an increase of $1.5 billion. The increase was due primarily to net income of $4.8 billion, net issuances of common stock under the Firm’s employee stock-based compensation plans of $1.3 billion 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. Partially offsetting these increases were changes in stockholders’ equity net of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) due to common share repurchases of $4.0 billion and dividends declared of $1.2 billion. In addition, the change in capital reflects the exclusion of a $258 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.

Dividends
The Firm’s common stock dividend policy reflects JPMorgan Chase’s earnings outlook, desired dividend payout ratios, need to maintain an adequate capital level and alternative investment opportunities. The Firm continues to target a dividend payout ratio of approximately 30–40% of Net income over time. On March 20, 2007, the Firm declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.34 per share, payable on April, 30, 2007, to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 5, 2007. On April 17, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.38 per share on the outstanding shares of the corporation’s common stock, an increase of $0.04 per share, or 12%; that dividend is payable on July 31, 2007, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 6, 2007.
Stock repurchases
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Firm repurchased a total of 80.9 million shares for $4.0 billion at an average price per share of $49.45 under the March 21, 2006, $8.0 billion stock repurchase program. During the first quarter of 2006, under the respective stock repurchase programs then in effect, the Firm repurchased 31.8 million shares for $1.3 billion at an average price per share of $40.54.
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. Repurchase authorization under the prior $8.0 billion program that remained unused as of April 19, 2007 was $816 million. This amount will not carry over to the new $10.0 billion 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 114–115 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 70-71 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 $79.8 billion and $74.4 billion at March 31, 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. 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 variable interest entities (“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.

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.
 
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 measures 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 March 31, 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 holding company level sufficient to cover 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 March 31, 2007, total deposits for the Firm were $626.4 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 (i.e., wholesale) liability balances. The Firm also benefits from substantial liability balances originated by RFS, CB, TSS and AM through the normal course of business. Liability balances include deposits and deposits that are swept to on–balance sheet liabilities (e.g., commercial paper, Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements). These franchise-generated 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 results for the Firm’s business segments and the Balance Sheet Analysis on pages 17-36 and 39–41, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Additional sources of funds include a variety of both 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.
Finally, funding flexibility is provided by the Firm’s ability to access 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 and Notes 15 and 23 on pages 44–45, 90–94 and 101–102, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.

Issuance
During the first quarter of 2007, JPMorgan Chase issued approximately $23.2 billion of long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities. These issuances included structured notes, the issuances of which are generally client-driven and not issued for funding or capital management purposes. Long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities issuances were partially offset by $14.9 billion that matured or were redeemed, including structured notes. In addition, during the first quarter of 2007, the Firm securitized $13.0 billion of residential mortgage loans and $5.8 billion of credit card loans. The Firm did not securitize any RFS auto loans during the first quarter of 2007. For further discussion of loan securitizations, see Note 15 on pages 90–94 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 holder 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, see the Forms 8-K filed by the Firm on August 17, 2006, September 28, 2006, and February 2, 2007.
Cash Flows
Cash and due from banks decreased $8.6 billion during the first quarter of 2007, compared with an increase of $233 million during the first quarter of 2006. A discussion of the significant changes in Cash and due from banks during the first quarters of 2007 and 2006 follows.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, net cash used in operating activities was $51.5 billion and $19.1 billion, respectively. JPMorgan Chase’s operating assets and liabilities vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of cash flows. In both 2007 and 2006, net cash was used in operating activities to support the Firm’s capital markets and lending activities, as well as to support loans originated or purchased with an initial intent to sell. 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 primarily include originating loans to be held to maturity, other receivables, and the available-for-sale investment portfolio. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, net cash of $11.8 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; and to increase Deposits with banks as a result of the availability of excess funds for short-term investment opportunities. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were proceeds from sales and maturities of AFS securities, credit card and residential mortgage sales and securitization activities, and the seasonal decline in consumer credit card receivables.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, net cash of $34.5 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, and net additions to the retained wholesale loan portfolio, mainly resulting from capital markets activity in the IB. These uses of cash were partially offset by cash proceeds provided from sales and maturities of AFS securities, credit card and residential mortgage sales and securitization activities, and the decline in credit card loans, reflecting the seasonal pattern and higher-than-normal customer payment rates.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The Firm’s financing activities primarily include the issuance of debt and receipt of customer deposits. JPMorgan Chase pays quarterly dividends on its common stock and has an ongoing stock repurchase program. In the first quarter of 2007, net cash provided by financing activities was $54.7 billion due to increases in securities sold under repurchase agreements in connection with the funding of trading and AFS securities positions; net new issuances of Long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities; and growth in retail deposits, reflecting new account acquisitions, the ongoing expansion of the retail branch distribution network and seasonal tax-related increases. Cash was used to meet seasonally higher withdrawals by wholesale demand deposit customers, repurchases of common stock and the payment of cash dividends.
In the first quarter 2006, net cash provided by financing activities was $53.8 billion due to: growth in deposits reflecting, on the retail side, new account acquisitions and the ongoing expansion of the branch distribution network, and on the wholesale side, higher business volumes; increases in securities sold under repurchase agreements in connection with short-term investment opportunities; and net new issuances of Long-term debt and trust preferred capital debt securities. The net cash provided was partially offset by common stock repurchases and the payment of cash dividends.

Credit ratings
The credit ratings of JPMorgan Chase’s parent holding company and each of its significant banking subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007, were as follows.
                         
    Short-term debt   Senior long-term debt

On February 14, 2007, S&P raised the senior long-term debt ratings on JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the operating bank subsidiaries to AA– and AA, respectively, from A+ and AA–, respectively. S&P also raised the short-term debt rating of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to A-1+ from A-1. Similarly, on February 16, 2007, Fitch raised the senior long-term debt rating on JPMorgan Chase & Co. and the operating bank subsidiaries to AA– from A+. Fitch also raised the short-term debt rating of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to F1+ from F1. Finally, on March 2, 2007, Moody’s raised the 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 would not be material. In the current environment, the Firm believes a downgrade is unlikely. 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 44 and Ratings profile of derivative receivables MTM on pages 54-55, of this Form 10-Q.
 
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
 
The following discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s credit portfolio as of March 31, 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.
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 14–15 of this Form 10-Q.
 
CREDIT PORTFOLIO
 
The following table presents JPMorgan Chase’s credit portfolio as of March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006. Total credit exposure at March 31, 2007, increased by $4.9 billion from December 31, 2006, reflecting an increase of $5.5 billion in the consumer credit portfolios, partially offset by a decrease of $544 million in the wholesale credit portfolio. During the first quarter of 2007, Loans were affected by two events. First, as a result of the adoption of SFAS 159, $23.3 billion of loans that would have previously been classified as Loans held-for-sale are now classified as Trading assets ($11.7 billion in the wholesale portfolio and $11.6 billion in the consumer portfolio) and, as a result, such loans are no longer included in Loans at March 31, 2007. Second, 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 March 31, 2007, wholesale exposure (IB, CB, TSS and AM) decreased by $544 million from December 31, 2006, due to a decrease in loans of $15.5 billion, reflecting $11.7 billion of loans reclassified to Trading assets as a result of the adoption of SFAS 159 and $5.3 billion of prime mortgage loans transferred from AM to the Corporate sector for risk management purposes. Derivative receivables decreased by $6.0 billion primarily as a result of the decline in the U.S. Dollar and rising interest rates. These decreases were almost completely offset by an increase in lending-related commitments of $21.0 billion mainly due to lending activity in the IB.

The following table presents summaries of the maturity and ratings profiles of the wholesale portfolio as of March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006. The ratings scale is based upon the Firm’s internal risk ratings and is presented on an S&P-equivalent basis. The primary driver of the decrease in the investment-grade loans was due to the transfer of $5.3 billion of prime mortgages from AM to the Corporate sector. These loans are now part of the consumer portfolio.

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 March 31, 2007, the top 10 industries were the same as those at December 31, 2006. The increases in Asset managers and Oil and gas were due to lending-related activities. Below is a summary of the Top 10 industry concentrations as of March 31, 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 101 of this Form 10-Q, and Derivative contracts on pages 69–72 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2006 Annual Report.

The amount of Derivative receivables reported on the Consolidated balance sheets of $50 billion and $56 billion at March 31, 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 $5.7 billion and $6.6 billion at March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively, resulting in total exposure, net of all collateral, of $44 billion and $49 billion at March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, 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 March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the Firm held $12 billion of this additional collateral. 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 following table summarizes the ratings profile of the Firm’s derivative receivables MTM, net of other liquid securities collateral, for the dates indicated.

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 78% as of March 31, 2007, from 80% at December 31, 2006.

Table of Contents

The Firm posted $27 billion of collateral at both March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006. 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. As of March 31, 2007, the impact of a single-notch ratings downgrade to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., from its rating of AA to AA- at March 31, 2007, would have required $143 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 $2.6 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 by the respective businesses as of March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006.

(a)  
Included $23 billion at both March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, that represented the notional amount for structured portfolio protection; the Firm retains the 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 limited counterparty exposure as a result of credit derivatives transactions. Of the $49.6 billion of total Derivative receivables MTM at March 31, 2007, $6.5 billion, or 13%, was associated with credit derivatives, before the benefit of liquid securities collateral.
Dealer/client
At March 31, 2007, the total notional amount of protection purchased and sold in the dealer/client business increased $1 trillion from year-end 2006 as a result of increased trade volume in the market. This business has a mismatch between the total notional amounts of protection purchased and sold. However, in the Firm’s view, 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 basis 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 year to year due to market conditions that impact specific positions in the portfolio.

Excludes gains of $146 million (primarily related to the adoption on January 1, 2007, of SFAS 157, which incorporated an adjustment to the valuation of the Firm’s derivative liabilities) and losses of $6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, of other Principal transaction revenues that are not associated with hedging activities.
The Firm also actively manages wholesale credit exposure through loan and commitment sales. During the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, the Firm sold $1.6 billion and $665 million of loans and commitments, respectively, recognizing losses of $6 million and gains of $20 million, respectively. The gains (losses) reflect sales of nonperforming loans as discussed on page 51 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 46–48, and 90–94, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.
Lending-related commitments
The contractual amount of wholesale lending-related commitments was $412.4 billion at March 31, 2007, compared with $391.4 billion at December 31, 2006. See page 50 of this Form 10-Q for an explanation of the increase in exposure. In the Firm’s view, the total contractual 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 $223.1 billion and $212.3 billion as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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.

Table of Contents

Total managed consumer loans as of March 31, 2007, were $350.0 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, partially offset by organic growth in home equity loans. Consumer lending-related commitments increased by 3%, to $769.4 billion at March 31, 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.
The following discussion relates to the specific loan and lending-related categories within the consumer portfolio.
Home equity: Home equity loans at March 31, 2007, were $87.7 billion, an increase of $2.0 billion from year-end 2006. Change in the portfolio from December 31, 2006, reflected organic growth. The Provision for credit losses increased as weaker housing prices caused an increase in the estimate of loss severities in the portfolio.
Mortgage: Substantially all of the Firm’s prime and low documentation mortgages, both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, are originated with the intent to sell, although some of the prime adjustable rate products are originated into the held-for-investment portfolio. As a result, products in the portfolio consist primarily of adjustable rate products. Subprime mortgages are either originated with the intent to sell or hold-for-investment, depending upon market conditions. All 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 that are held-for-investment or held-for-sale at March 31, 2007 were $46.6 billion, reflecting a $13.1 billion decrease from the prior year end, 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 March 31, 2007, over 70% 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. The provision for credit losses related to subprime mortgages was increased this quarter and underwriting standards were tightened.
Auto loans and leases: As of March 31, 2007, Auto loans and leases of $40.9 billion were flat to year-end 2006. Vehicle finance leasing, which comprised $1.2 billion of outstanding loans as of March 31, 2007, was down from $1.7 billion at year-end 2006. The Auto loan portfolio reflects a high concentration of prime and near-prime quality credits.
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 $146.6 billion at March 31, 2007, a decrease of $6.3 billion from year-end 2006, reflecting the typical seasonal decrease of outstanding loans.
The managed credit card net charge-off rate increased to 3.57% for the first quarter of 2007, from 2.99% in the first quarter of 2006. This increase was due primarily to lower bankruptcy-related net charge-offs in 2006. The 30-day delinquency rates decreased slightly to 3.07% at March 31, 2007, from 3.10% at March 31, 2006, reflecting continued strength in underlying credit quality. 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 and Community Development loans. As of March 31, 2007, Other loans increased to $28.1 billion compared with $27.1 billion at year-end 2006. This increase is due primarily to organic growth in Education and Business banking loans.

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 March 31, 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).

Primarily related to the transfer of allowance between wholesale and consumer in conjunction with prime mortgages transferred to the Corporate sector.
(c)  
The ratio of the wholesale allowance for loan losses to total wholesale loans was 1.76% and 1.84%, excluding wholesale HFS loans and loans accounted for at fair value at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
(d)  
The ratio of the consumer allowance for loan losses to total consumer loans was 1.72% and 1.82%, excluding consumer HFS loans and loans accounted for at fair value at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2007, was relatively unchanged compared with December 31, 2006. Excluding held-for-sale loans and loans carried at fair value, the Allowance for loan losses represented 1.74% of loans at March 31, 2007, compared with 1.70% at December 31, 2006. The increase in coverage was due to a lower loan balance.
To provide for the risk of loss inherent in the Firm’s process of extending credit, management computes an asset-specific component and a formula-based component for wholesale lending-related commitments. These components are computed using a methodology similar to that used for the wholesale loan portfolio, modified for expected maturities and probabilities of drawdown. This allowance, which is reported in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, was $553 million and $524 million at March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. The increase reflected increased lending-related commitments, primarily due to IB activity.

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 was $1.6 billion, up by $321 million, or 25%, from the prior year. The wholesale provision for credit losses was $77 million for the quarter compared with a provision of $179 million in the prior year. The prior-year provision reflected growth in the loan portfolio. The total consumer managed provision for credit losses was $1.5 billion in the current quarter compared with $1.1 billion in the prior year. The prior year benefited from a lower level of credit card net charge-offs, which reflected a low level of bankruptcy losses following the change in bankruptcy legislation in the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase from the prior year also reflects higher charge-offs and additions to the allowance for credit losses related to the subprime mortgage and home equity loan portfolios.

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.
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 the IB. Trading VAR does not include VAR related to 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 96–97, Note 3 on page 74 and Corporate on pages 37–39 of this Form 10-Q.
(b)  
Includes VAR on derivative credit and debit 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 and debit valuation adjustments, see Note 3 on pages 71-77 of this Form 10-Q. This VAR does not include the retained loan portfolio.
(c)  
Average and period-end VARs are less than the sum of the VARs of its market risk components, which is due to risk offsets resulting from portfolio diversification. The diversification effect reflects the fact that the risks are 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.
The IB’s average Total trading and credit portfolio VAR for the first quarter of 2007 was $83 million compared with $94 million in the first quarter of 2006. The change in fixed income, equities and commodities VAR components resulted from changes in positions which also led to a decrease in portfolio diversification for trading VAR. Average trading VAR diversification decreased to $58 million, or 41% of the sum of the components, from $68 million, or 43% of the sum of the components. 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 the change in value of Principal transactions revenue less Private Equity gains/losses plus any trading-related net interest income, brokerage commissions, underwriting fees or other revenue. The following histogram illustrates the daily market risk-related gains and losses for IB trading businesses for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The chart shows that IB posted market risk-related gains on 61 out of 65 days in this period, with 11 days exceeding $100 million. 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 4 days, with no loss greater than $50 million, and with no loss exceeding the VAR measure.

(BAR CHART)
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 event risk-sensitive positions.
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 critical. 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.
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.

Table of Contents

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 March 31, 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 higher level of AFS securities and other positioning. 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 March 31, 2007, the carrying value of the Private Equity portfolio was $6.4 billion, of which $389 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 retained 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 March 31, 2007 and 2006, see allowance for credit losses on page 59 and Note 14 on page 90 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 $1.2 billion as of March 31, 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 held-for-sale loans and physical commodities are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. At March 31, 2007, $564.4 billion of the Firm’s assets and $219.4 billion of 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 65, and Notes 3 and 4 on pages 71–80 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 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. For additional information related to the Firm’s adoption of FIN 48, see Note 20 on page 100 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 financial position 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. In addition, as a result of the adoption of SFAS 157, JPMorgan Chase 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 the IB and the Private Equity business within Corporate. For additional information related to the Firm’s adoption of SFAS 157, see Note 3 on page 71–77 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, 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 77–80 of this Form 10-Q.

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, asset management and private equity. For a discussion of the Firm’s business segment information, see Note 25 on pages 103–105 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 by the Form 8-K filed on May 10, 2007 (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 set up 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 no longer to 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 furth
