“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about U.S. Bancorp. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements and are based on the information available to, and assumptions and estimates made by, management as of the date made. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, anticipated future revenue and expenses and the future plans and prospects of U.S. Bancorp. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Global and domestic economies could fail to recover from the recent economic downturn or could experience another severe contraction, which could adversely affect U.S. Bancorp’s revenues and the values of its assets and liabilities. Global financial markets could experience a recurrence of significant turbulence, which could reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions and lead to a tightening of credit, a reduction of business activity, and increased market volatility. Continued stress in the commercial real estate markets, as well as a delay or failure of recovery in the residential real estate markets, could cause additional credit losses and deterioration in asset values. In addition, U.S. Bancorp’s business and financial performance is likely to be negatively impacted by effects of recently enacted and future legislation and regulation. U.S. Bancorp’s results could also be adversely affected by continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions; changes in interest rates; deterioration in the credit quality of its loan portfolios or in the value of the collateral securing those loans; deterioration in the value of securities held in its investment securities portfolio; legal and regulatory developments; increased competition from both banks and non-banks; changes in customer behavior and preferences; effects of mergers and acquisitions and related integration; effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; and management’s ability to effectively manage credit risk, residual value risk, market risk, operational risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk.
For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, refer to U.S. Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Corporate Risk Profile” contained in Exhibit 13, and all subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and U.S. Bancorp undertakes no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.

OVERVIEW
Earnings Summary U.S. Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) reported net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp of $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2011, or $.60 per diluted common share, compared with $766 million, or $.45 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2010. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.54 percent and 15.9 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2011, compared with 1.09 percent and 13.4 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2010 included a $.05 benefit related to a non-recurring exchange of perpetual preferred stock for outstanding income trust securities. The second quarter of 2010 results also included net securities losses of $21 million. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2011 was $175 million lower than net charge-offs, compared with $25 million in excess of net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2010.
Total net revenue, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the second quarter of 2011 was $171 million (3.8 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2010, reflecting a 5.6 percent increase in net interest income and a 1.7 percent increase in total noninterest income. The increase in net interest income over a year ago was largely the result of an increase in average earning assets and continued growth in lower cost core deposit funding. Noninterest income increased over a year ago, primarily due to higher payments-related revenue and commercial products revenue, as well as lower net securities losses.
Total noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2011 was $48 million (2.0 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to higher total compensation and employee benefits expense, including higher pension costs.
The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2011 was $572 million, or $567 million (49.8 percent) lower than the second quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2011 were $747 million, compared with $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2010. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
The Company reported net income attributable to U.S. Bancorp of $2.2 billion for the first six months of 2011, or $1.12 per diluted common share, compared with $1.4 billion, or $.79 per diluted common share for the first six months of 2010. Return on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.46 percent and 15.2 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2011, compared with 1.03 percent and 12.0 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2010. The Company’s results for the first six months of 2011 included a $46 million gain related to the acquisition of First Community Bank of New Mexico (“FCB”) in a transaction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Results for the first six months of 2011 also included net securities losses of $13 million and a provision for credit losses lower than net charge-offs by $225 million. The first six months of 2010 included $200 million of provision for credit losses in excess of net charge-offs and $55 million of net securities losses.
Total net revenue, on a taxable-equivalent basis, for the first six months of 2011 was $369 million (4.2 percent) higher than the first six months of 2010, reflecting a 5.0 percent increase in net interest income and a 3.2 percent increase in total noninterest income. The increase in net interest income over a year ago was largely the result of an increase in average earning assets and continued growth in lower cost core deposit funding. Noninterest income increased over a year ago, primarily due to higher payments-related revenue, commercial products revenue and other income, as well as lower net securities losses.
Total noninterest expense in the first six months of 2011 was $226 million (5.0 percent) higher than the first six months of 2010, primarily due to higher total compensation and employee benefits expense, including higher pension costs.
The provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2011 was $1.3 billion, or $1.1 billion (45.8 percent) lower than the first six months of 2010. Net charge-offs in the first six months of 2011 were $1.6 billion, compared with $2.2 billion in the first six months of 2010. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Net Interest Income Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $2.5 billion in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $2.4 billion in the second quarter of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $5.1 billion in the first six months of 2011, compared with $4.8 billion in the first six months of 2010. The increases were primarily the result of growth in average earning assets and lower cost core deposit funding. Average earning assets increased $30.1 billion (12.2 percent) in the second quarter and $27.6 billion (11.1 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, driven by increases in average investment securities, average loans and average other earning assets, which included cash balances held at the Federal Reserve. The net interest margin in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 was 3.67 percent and 3.68 percent, respectively, compared with 3.90 percent in both the second quarter and first six months of 2010. The decreases in the net interest margin reflected higher balances in lower yielding investment securities and growth in cash balances held at the Federal Reserve. Refer to the “Consolidated Daily Average Balance Sheet and Related Yields and Rates” tables for further information on net interest income.
Total average loans for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were $7.6 billion (4.0 percent) and $6.2 billion (3.2 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2010, driven by growth in residential mortgages, commercial loans, commercial real estate loans and retail loans, partially offset by decreases in loans covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. The increases were driven by demand for loans and lines by new and existing credit-worthy borrowers and the impact of the FCB acquisition. Average loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions that are covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC (“covered” loans) decreased $3.8 billion for both the second quarter and first six months of 2011, or 18.4 percent and 18.0 percent, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010.
Average investment securities in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were $15.8 billion (33.5 percent) and $13.0 billion (27.9 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2010, primarily due to purchases of U.S. Treasury and government agency-related securities, as the Company increased its on-balance sheet liquidity in response to anticipated regulatory requirements.
Average total deposits for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were $26.1 billion (14.2 percent) and $23.9 billion (13.1 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2010. Excluding deposits from acquisitions, second quarter 2011 average total deposits increased $17.6 billion (9.6 percent) over the second quarter of 2010. Average noninterest-bearing deposits for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were $8.8 billion (22.1 percent) and $7.5 billion (19.3 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2010, largely due to growth in Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate and Consumer and Small Business Banking balances. Average total savings deposits for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were $15.1 billion (15.1 percent) and $14.9 billion (15.0 percent) higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2010, primarily due to growth in corporate trust balances, including the impact of the December 30, 2010 acquisition of the securitization trust administration business of Bank of America, N.A. (“securitization trust acquisition”), and Consumer and Small Business Banking balances. Average time certificates of deposit less than $100,000 were lower in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 by $1.6 billion (9.5 percent) and $2.3 billion (13.2 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010, as a result of expected decreases in acquired certificates of deposit and decreases in Consumer and Small Business Banking balances. Average time deposits greater than $100,000 were $3.8 billion (14.4 percent) and $3.9 billion (14.4 percent) higher in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010, principally due to higher balances in Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate and institutional and corporate trust, including the impact of the securitization trust acquisition.
Provision for Credit Losses The provision for credit losses for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 decreased $567 million (49.8 percent) and $1.1 billion (45.8 percent), respectively, from the same periods of 2010. Net charge-offs decreased $367 million (32.9 percent) and $697 million (31.0 percent) in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010, principally due to improvement in the commercial, commercial real estate, credit card and other retail loan portfolios. Delinquencies also decreased in most major loan categories in the second quarter of 2011, compared with the first quarter of 2011. The provision for credit losses was lower than net charge-offs by $175 million in the second quarter and $225 million in the first six months of 2011, but exceeded net charge-offs by $25 million in the second quarter and $200 million in the first six months of 2010. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Noninterest Income Noninterest income in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 was $2.1 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively, compared with $2.1 billion and $4.0 billion in the same periods of 2010. The $36 million (1.7 percent) increase during the second quarter and $130 million (3.2 percent) increase during the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, were due to higher payments-related revenues, largely due to increased transaction volumes, and increases in commercial products revenue attributable to higher standby letters of credit fees, commercial loan fees and commercial leasing revenue. The increase in commercial products revenue for the first six months of 2011, compared with the same period of 2010, was also due to higher capital markets fees. ATM processing services income and investment products fees and commissions increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, due to business initiatives. In addition, net securities losses decreased, primarily due to lower impairments in the current year. Other income for the first six months of 2011 also increased over the same period of the prior year due to the first quarter 2011 FCB gain and higher retail lease residual valuation income. Offsetting these positive variances was a decrease in deposit service charges in both the second quarter and first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, primarily due to Company-initiated and regulatory revisions to overdraft fee policies, partially offset by core account growth. In addition, trust and investment management fees declined as a result of the sale of the Company’s long-term asset management business in the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by the positive impact of the securitization trust acquisition and improved market conditions.
The Company anticipates the implementation of recently passed legislation, under the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, will reduce future noninterest income by approximately $300 million on an annualized basis, based on anticipated transaction volume excluding any mitigating actions the Company may take.
Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense was $2.4 billion in the second quarter and $4.7 billion in the first six months of 2011, compared with $2.4 billion in the second quarter and $4.5 billion in the first six months of 2010, or increases of $48 million (2.0 percent) and $226 million (5.0 percent), respectively. The increases in noninterest expense from a year ago were principally due to increased total compensation and employee benefits expense. Total compensation increased primarily due to branch expansion, other business initiatives and merit increases. Employee benefits expense increased due to higher pension and medical costs and the impact of additional staff. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased principally due to business expansion and technology initiatives. Professional services expense increased due to technology-related and other projects across multiple business lines. These increases were partially offset by decreases in other intangibles expense due to the reduction or completion of the amortization of certain intangibles. Other expense was also lower due to debt extinguishment costs recorded in the second quarter of 2010 for the exchange of the income trust securities, lower mortgage servicing and acquisition integration expenses, and lower costs related to investments in affordable housing and other tax-advantaged projects. These decreases were partially offset by higher FDIC deposit insurance expense.

Income Tax Expense The provision for income taxes was $458 million (an effective rate of 28.0 percent) for the second quarter and $824 million (an effective rate of 27.2 percent) for the first six months of 2011, compared with $199 million (an effective rate of 20.9 percent) and $360 million (an effective rate of 20.3 percent) for the same periods of 2010. The increases in the effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of the prior year, principally reflected the marginal impact of higher pretax earnings year-over-year. For further information on income taxes, refer to Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Loans The Company’s total loan portfolio was $199.9 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $197.1 billion at December 31, 2010, an increase of $2.8 billion (1.4 percent). The increase was driven by increases in most major loan categories, partially offset by lower retail and covered loans. The $2.2 billion (4.4 percent) increase in commercial loans was primarily driven by higher loan demand from new and existing customers and the $795 million (2.3 percent) increase in commercial real estate loans was primarily due to the FCB acquisition.
Residential mortgages held in the loan portfolio increased $2.4 billion (7.7 percent) at June 30, 2011, compared with December 31, 2010. Most loans retained in the portfolio are to customers with prime or near-prime credit characteristics at the date of origination.
Total retail loans outstanding, which include credit card, retail leasing, home equity and second mortgages and other retail loans, decreased $863 million (1.3 percent) at June 30, 2011, compared with December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily driven by lower credit card and home equity balances.
Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale, consisting primarily of residential mortgages to be sold in the secondary market, were $3.5 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $8.4 billion at December 31, 2010. The decrease in loans held for sale was principally due to a decrease in mortgage loan origination and refinancing activity due to an increase in interest rates during the first half of 2011.
Investment Securities Investment securities totaled $65.6 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $53.0 billion at December 31, 2010. The $12.6 billion (23.8 percent) increase primarily reflected $11.5 billion of net investment purchases and $.3 billion of securities acquired in the FCB acquisition, both primarily in the held-to-maturity investment portfolio, as well as a $.8 billion favorable change in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investment securities. Held-to-maturity securities were $13.3 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $1.5 billion at December 31, 2010, primarily reflecting increases in U.S. Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities, as the Company increased its on-balance sheet liquidity in response to anticipated regulatory requirements.

The Company conducts a regular assessment of its investment portfolio to determine whether any securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. At June 30, 2011, the Company’s net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities was $429 million, compared with a net unrealized loss of $346 million at December 31, 2010. The favorable change in net unrealized gains (losses) was primarily due to increases in the fair value of state and political securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt securities. Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position totaled $687 million at June 30, 2011, compared with $1.2 billion at December 31, 2010. When assessing unrealized losses for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company considers the nature of the investment, the financial condition of the issuer, the extent and duration of unrealized loss, expected cash flows of underlying collateral or assets and market conditions. At June 30, 2011, the Company had no plans to sell securities with unrealized losses and believes it is more likely than not that it would not be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost.
There is limited market activity for non-agency mortgage-backed securities held by the Company. As a result, the Company estimates the fair value of these securities using estimates of expected cash flows, discount rates and management’s assessment of various other market factors, which are judgmental in nature. The Company recorded $9 million and $15 million of impairment charges in earnings during the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, predominately on non-agency mortgage-backed securities. These impairment charges were due to changes in expected cash flows resulting from increases in defaults in the underlying mortgage pools. Further adverse changes in market conditions may result in additional impairment charges in future periods. Refer to Notes 4 and 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on investment securities.
Deposits Total deposits were $214.9 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $204.3 billion at December 31, 2010, the result of increases in noninterest-bearing, savings and time deposits, partially offset by decreases in money market and interest checking deposits. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $12.0 billion (26.5 percent), primarily due to increases in Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate, and corporate trust balances. Savings account balances increased $2.4 billion (9.9 percent), primarily due to continued strong participation in a savings product offered by Consumer and Small Business Banking. Time certificates of deposit less than $100,000 increased $244 million (1.6 percent) primarily due to the FCB acquisition. Time deposits greater than $100,000 were essentially flat at June 30, 2011, compared with December 31, 2010, and are managed as an alternative to other funding sources, such as wholesale borrowing, based largely on relative pricing. Money market balances decreased $2.4 billion (5.1 percent) primarily due to lower Consumer and Small Business Banking, and broker-dealer balances. Interest checking balances decreased $1.6 billion (3.6 percent) primarily due to lower institutional trust balances.
Borrowings The Company utilizes both short-term and long-term borrowings as part of its asset/liability management and funding strategies. Short-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, borrowings secured by high-grade assets and other short-term borrowings, were $29.7 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $32.6 billion at December 31, 2010. The $2.9 billion (8.9 percent) decrease in short-term borrowings was primarily in repurchase agreements and commercial paper balances, and reflected reduced borrowing needs as a result of increases in deposits. Long-term debt was $32.8 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $31.5 billion at December 31, 2010. The $1.3 billion (4.1 percent) increase was primarily due to $1.7 billion of medium-term note and subordinated debt issuances and a $.5 billion increase in long-term debt related to certain consolidated variable interest entities, partially offset by a $.7 billion extinguishment of junior subordinated debentures in connection with the issuance of perpetual preferred stock. Refer to the “Liquidity Risk Management” section for discussion of liquidity management of the Company.
CORPORATE RISK PROFILE
Overview Managing risks is an essential part of successfully operating a financial services company. The most prominent risk exposures are credit, residual value, operational, interest rate, market and liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the interest and/or the principal balance of a loan, investment or derivative contract when it is due. Residual value risk is the potential reduction in the end-of-term value of leased assets. Operational risk includes risks related to fraud, legal and compliance, processing errors, technology, breaches of internal controls and business continuation and disaster recovery. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates, which can affect the re-pricing of assets and liabilities differently. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and

security prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as trading and available-for-sale securities, mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and derivatives that are accounted for on a fair value basis. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, investors or borrowers. In addition, corporate strategic decisions, as well as the risks described above, could give rise to reputation risk. Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity or press, whether true or not, could result in costly litigation or cause a decline in the Company’s stock value, customer base, funding sources or revenue.
Credit Risk Management The Company’s strategy for credit risk management includes well-defined, centralized credit policies, uniform underwriting criteria, and ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all commercial and consumer credit exposures. In evaluating its credit risk, the Company considers changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, the level of allowance coverage relative to similar banking institutions and macroeconomic factors, such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product and consumer bankruptcy filings. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Credit Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for a more detailed discussion on credit risk management processes.
The Company manages its credit risk, in part, through diversification of its loan portfolio and limit setting by product type criteria and concentrations. As part of its normal business activities, the Company offers a broad array of commercial and retail lending products. The Company’s retail lending business utilizes several distinct business processes and channels to originate retail credit, including traditional branch lending, indirect lending, portfolio acquisitions and a consumer finance division. Generally, loans managed by the Company’s consumer finance division exhibit higher credit risk characteristics, but are priced commensurate with the differing risk profile. With respect to residential mortgages originated through these channels, the Company may either retain the loans on its balance sheet or sell its interest in the balances into the secondary market while retaining the servicing rights and customer relationships. For residential mortgages that are retained in the Company’s portfolio and for home equity and second mortgages, credit risk is also diversified by geography and managed by adherence to loan-to-value and borrower credit criteria during the underwriting process.

Covered loans included $1.4 billion in loans with negative-amortization payment options at June 30, 2011, compared with $1.6 billion at December 31, 2010. Other than covered loans, the Company does not have any residential mortgages with payment schedules that would cause balances to increase over time.

Including the guaranteed amounts, the ratio of residential mortgages 90 days or more past due including nonperforming loans was 10.81 percent at June 30, 2011, and 12.28 percent at December 31, 2010.
(b) Delinquent loan ratios exclude student loans that are guaranteed by the federal government. Including the guaranteed amounts, the ratio of retail loans 90 days or more past due including nonperforming loans was 1.45 percent at June 30, 2011, and 1.60 percent at December 31, 2010.
Loan Delinquencies Trends in delinquency ratios are an indicator, among other considerations, of credit risk within the Company’s loan portfolios. The Company measures delinquencies, both including and excluding nonperforming loans, to enable comparability with other companies. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due totaled $1.7 billion ($804 million excluding covered loans) at June 30, 2011, compared with $2.2 billion ($1.1 billion excluding covered loans) at December 31, 2010. The $290 million (26.5 percent) decrease, excluding covered loans, reflected a moderation in the level of stress in economic conditions in the first six months of 2011. These loans are not included in nonperforming assets and continue to accrue interest because they are adequately secured by collateral, are in the process of collection and are reasonably expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status, or are managed in homogeneous portfolios with specified charge-off timeframes adhering to regulatory guidelines. The ratio of accruing loans 90 days or more past due to total loans was .87 percent (.44 percent excluding covered loans) at June 30, 2011, compared with 1.11 percent (.61 percent excluding covered loans) at December 31, 2010.

Restructured Loans In certain circumstances, the Company may modify the terms of a loan to maximize the collection of amounts due when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties or is expected to experience difficulties in the near-term. In most cases the modification is either a concessionary reduction in interest rate, extension of the maturity date or reduction in the principal balance that would otherwise not be considered. Concessionary modifications are classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) unless the modification is short-term, or results in only an insignificant delay or shortfall in the payments to be received. TDRs accrue interest if the borrower complies with the revised terms and conditions and has demonstrated repayment performance at a level commensurate with the modified terms over several payment cycles.
Troubled Debt Restructurings Many of the Company’s TDRs are determined on a case-by-case basis in connection with ongoing loan collection processes. However, the Company has also implemented certain restructuring programs that may result in TDRs. The consumer finance division has a mortgage loan restructuring program where certain qualifying borrowers facing an interest rate reset, who are current in their repayment status, are allowed to retain the lower of their existing interest rate or the market interest rate as of their interest reset date. The Company also participates in the U.S. Department of the Treasury Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”). HAMP gives qualifying homeowners an opportunity to refinance into more affordable monthly payments, with the U.S. Department of the Treasury compensating the Company for a portion of the reduction in monthly amounts due from borrowers participating in this program. Both the consumer finance division modification program and the HAMP program require the customer to complete a trial period, where the loan modification is contingent on the customer satisfactorily completing the trial period and the loan documents are not modified until that time. The Company reports loans that are modified following the satisfactory completion of the trial period as TDRs. Loans in the pre-modification trial phase represented less than 1.0 percent of residential mortgage loan balances at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
In addition, the Company has modified certain mortgage loans according to provisions in FDIC-assisted transaction loss sharing agreements. Losses associated with modifications on these loans, including the economic impact of interest rate reductions, are generally eligible for reimbursement under the loss sharing agreements.
Acquired loans restructured after acquisition are not considered TDRs for purposes of the Company’s accounting and disclosure if the loans evidenced credit deterioration as of the acquisition date and are accounted for in pools.
The following table provides a summary of TDRs by loan type, including the delinquency status for TDRs that continue to accrue interest and TDRs included in nonperforming assets (excluding covered loans):

(a) Excludes loans purchased from GNMA mortgage pools whose repayments are insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and loans in the trial period under HAMP or the Company’s program where a legal modification of the loan is contingent on the customer successfully completing the trial modification period.
TDRs, excluding covered loans, that continue to accrue interest, were $325 million higher at June 30, 2011, than at December 31, 2010, primarily reflecting loan modifications for certain real estate-related customers in light of current economic conditions. The Company continues to work with customers to modify loans for borrowers who are having financial difficulties, including those acquired through FDIC-assisted acquisitions.
Short-Term Modifications The Company makes short-term modifications to assist borrowers experiencing temporary hardships. Consumer programs include short-term interest rate reductions (three months or less for residential mortgages and twelve months or less for credit cards), deferrals of up to three past due payments, and the ability to return to current status if the borrower makes required payments during the short-term modification period. At June 30, 2011, loans modified under these programs, excluding loans purchased from GNMA mortgage pools whose repayments are insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, represented less than 1.0 percent of total residential mortgage loan balances and 1.2 percent of credit card receivable balances, compared with less than 1.0 percent of total mortgage loan balances and 1.9 percent of credit card receivable balances at December 31, 2010. Because these changes have an insignificant impact on the economic return on the loan, the Company does not consider loans modified under these hardship programs to be TDRs. The Company determines applicable allowances for credit losses for these loans in a manner consistent with other homogeneous loan portfolios.
The Company may also modify commercial loans on a short-term basis, with the most common modification being an extension of the maturity date of twelve months or less. Such extensions generally are used when the maturity date is imminent and the borrower is experiencing some level of financial stress but the Company believes the borrower will ultimately pay all contractual amounts owed. These extended loans represented approximately 1.1 percent of total commercial and commercial real estate loan balances at June 30, 2011, unchanged from December 31, 2010. Because interest is charged during the extension period (at the original contractual rate or, in many cases, a higher rate), the extension has an insignificant impact on the economic return on the loan. Therefore, the Company does not consider such extensions to be TDRs. The Company determines the applicable allowance for credit losses on these loans in a manner consistent with other commercial loans.
Nonperforming Assets The level of nonperforming assets represents another indicator of the potential for future credit losses. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans not performing in accordance with modified terms, other real estate and other nonperforming assets owned by the Company, and are generally either originated by the Company or acquired under FDIC loss sharing agreements that substantially reduce the risk of credit losses to the Company. Additionally, nonperforming assets at June 30, 2011 included $287 million of loans and other real estate acquired through the acquisition of FCB from the FDIC, which were not covered by a loss sharing agreement. Assets associated with the FCB transaction were recorded at their estimated fair value, including any discount for expected losses, at the acquisition date and included in the related asset categories. At June 30, 2011, total nonperforming assets were $4.7 billion, compared with $5.0 billion at December 31, 2010. Excluding covered assets, nonperforming assets were $3.3 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $3.4 billion at December 31, 2010. The $89 million (2.7 percent) decline was principally in the commercial portfolio, reflecting the stabilizing economy. However, stress continued in the commercial and residential mortgage portfolios due to the overall duration of the economic slowdown. Nonperforming covered assets at June 30, 2011, were $1.4 billion, compared with $1.7 billion at December 31, 2010. The majority of the nonperforming covered assets were considered credit-impaired at acquisition and recorded at their estimated fair value at acquisition. The ratio of total nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate was 2.32 percent (1.77 percent excluding covered assets) at June 30, 2011, compared with 2.55 percent (1.87 percent excluding covered assets) at December 31, 2010.

Analysis of Loan Net Charge-Offs Total net charge-offs were $747 million for the second quarter and $1.6 billion for the first six months of 2011, compared with net charge-offs of $1.1 billion and $2.2 billion for the same periods of 2010. The ratio of total loan net charge-offs to average loans outstanding on an annualized basis for the second quarter and first six months of 2011 was 1.51 percent and 1.58 percent, respectively, compared with 2.34 percent and 2.36 percent, for the same periods of 2010. The year-over-year decreases in total net charge-offs were principally due to improvement in the commercial, commercial real estate, credit card and other retail loan portfolios. The Company expects the level of net charge-offs to continue to trend lower in the third quarter of 2011.
Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2011 were $260 million (1.22 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $472 million (2.35 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the second quarter of 2010. Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs for the first six months of 2011 were $524 million (1.25 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $941 million (2.34 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the first six months of 2010. The decreases reflected the impact of efforts to resolve and reduce exposure to problem assets in the Company’s commercial real estate portfolios and improvement in the other commercial portfolios due to the stabilizing economy.
Residential mortgage loan net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2011 were $119 million (1.46 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $138 million (2.06 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the second quarter of 2010. Residential mortgage loan net charge-offs for the first six months of 2011 were $248 million (1.55 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $283 million (2.14 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the first six months of 2010.

loan net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2011 were $363 million (2.28 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $499 million (3.16 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the second quarter of 2010. Retail loan net charge-offs for the first six months of 2011 were $773 million (2.43 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis), compared with $1.0 billion (3.23 percent of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis) for the first six months of 2010. The year-over-year decreases in residential mortgage and retail loan net charge-offs reflected the impact of more stable economic conditions.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses reserves for probable and estimable losses incurred in the Company’s loan and lease portfolio and includes certain amounts that do not represent loss exposure to the Company because those losses are recoverable under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to ensure it appropriately reserves for incurred losses. Several factors were taken into consideration in evaluating the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2011, including the risk profile of the portfolios, loan net charge-offs during the period, the level of nonperforming assets, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, delinquency ratios and changes in TDR loan balances. Management also considered the uncertainty related to certain industry sectors, and the extent of credit exposure to specific borrowers within the portfolio. In addition, concentration risks associated with commercial real estate and the mix of loans, including credit cards, loans originated through the consumer finance division and residential mortgage balances, and their relative credit risks, were evaluated. Finally, the Company considered current economic conditions that might impact the portfolio. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Losses” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on the analysis and determination of the allowance for credit losses.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2011, the allowance for credit losses was $5.3 billion (2.66 percent of total loans and 2.83 percent of loans excluding covered loans), compared with an allowance of $5.5 billion (2.81 percent of total loans and 3.03 percent of loans excluding covered loans) at December 31, 2010. The Company decreased the allowance for credit losses by $15 million during the second quarter and increased the allowance for credit losses by $2 million during the first six months of 2011, compared with increases of $72 million for the same periods of the prior year, to reflect covered loan losses reimbursable by the FDIC. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 140 percent (188 percent excluding covered loans) at June 30, 2011, compared with 136 percent (192 percent excluding covered loans) at December 31, 2010. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to annualized loan net charge-offs was 177 percent at June 30, 2011, compared with 132 percent of full year 2010 net charge-offs at December 31, 2010.
Residual Value Risk Management The Company manages its risk to changes in the residual value of leased assets through disciplined residual valuation setting at the inception of a lease, diversification of its leased assets, regular residual asset valuation reviews and monitoring of residual value gains or losses upon the disposition of assets. As of June 30, 2011, no significant change in the amount of residual values or concentration of the portfolios had occurred since December 31, 2010. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Residual Value Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on residual value risk management.
Operational Risk Management The Company manages operational risk through a risk management framework and its internal control processes. Within this framework, the Risk Management Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors provides oversight and assesses the most significant operational risks facing the Company within its business lines. Under the guidance of the Risk Management Committee, enterprise risk management personnel establish policies and interact with business lines to monitor significant operating risks on a regular basis. Business lines have direct and primary responsibility and accountability for identifying, controlling, and monitoring operational risks embedded in their business activities. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Operational Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on operational risk management.
Interest Rate Risk Management In the banking industry, changes in interest rates are a significant risk that can impact earnings, market valuations and the safety and soundness of an entity. To minimize the volatility of net interest income and the market value of assets and liabilities, the Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management activities within guidelines established by its Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) and approved by the Board of Directors. The ALCO has the responsibility for approving and ensuring compliance with the ALCO management policies, including interest rate risk exposure. The Company uses net interest income simulation analysis and market value of equity modeling for measuring and analyzing consolidated interest rate risk.
Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis Management estimates the impact on net interest income of changes in market interest rates under a number of scenarios, including gradual shifts, immediate and sustained parallel shifts, and flattening or steepening of the yield curve. The table below summarizes the projected impact to net interest income over the next 12 months of various potential interest rate changes. The ALCO policy limits the estimated change in net interest income in a gradual 200 basis point (“bps”) rate change scenario to a 4.0 percent decline of forecasted net interest income over the next 12 months. At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company was within policy. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on net interest income simulation analysis.

Market Value of Equity Modeling The Company also manages interest rate sensitivity by utilizing market value of equity modeling, which measures the degree to which the market values of the Company’s assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments will change given a change in interest rates. Management measures the impact of changes in market interest rates under a number of scenarios, including immediate and sustained parallel shifts, and flattening or steepening of the yield curve. The ALCO policy limits the change in market value of equity in a 200 bps parallel rate shock to a 15.0 percent decline. A 200 bps increase would have resulted in a 3.3 percent decrease in the market value of equity at June 30, 2011, compared with a 3.6 percent decrease at December 31, 2010. A 200 bps decrease, where possible given current rates, would have resulted in a 6.7 percent decrease in the market value of equity at June 30, 2011, compared with a 5.2 percent decrease at December 31, 2010. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Market Value of Equity Modeling” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on market value of equity modeling.
Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate and Other Risks To reduce the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate, prepayment, credit, price and foreign currency fluctuations (“asset and liability management positions”), the Company enters into derivative transactions. The Company uses derivatives for asset and liability management purposes primarily in the following ways:
To convert fixed-rate debt from fixed-rate payments to floating-rate payments;
To convert the cash flows associated with floating-rate debt from floating-rate payments to fixed-rate payments; and
To mitigate changes in value of the Company’s mortgage origination pipeline, funded mortgage loans held for sale and MSRs.
To manage these risks, the Company may enter into exchange-traded and over-the-counter derivative contracts, including interest rate swaps, swaptions, futures, forwards and options. In addition, the Company enters into interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts to support the business requirements of its customers (“customer-related positions”). The Company minimizes the market and liquidity risks of customer-related positions by entering into similar offsetting positions with broker-dealers. The Company does not utilize derivatives for speculative purposes.
The Company does not designate all of the derivatives that it enters into for risk management purposes as accounting hedges because of the inefficiency of applying the accounting requirements and may instead elect fair value accounting for the related hedged items. In particular, the Company enters into U.S. Treasury futures, options on U.S. Treasury futures contracts, interest rate swaps and forward commitments to buy residential mortgage loans to mitigate fluctuations in the value of its MSRs, but does not designate those derivatives as accounting hedges.
Additionally, the Company uses forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans at specified prices to economically hedge the interest rate risk in its residential mortgage loan production activities. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $6.6 billion of forward commitments to sell mortgage loans hedging $3.3 billion of mortgage loans held for sale and $5.4 billion of unfunded mortgage loan commitments. The forward commitments to sell and the unfunded mortgage loan commitments are considered derivatives under the accounting guidance related to accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and the Company has elected the fair value option for the mortgage loans held for sale.
Derivatives are subject to credit risk associated with counterparties to the contracts. Credit risk associated with derivatives is measured by the Company based on the probability of counterparty default. The Company manages the credit risk of its derivative positions by diversifying its positions among various counterparties, entering into master netting agreements where possible with its counterparties, requiring collateral agreements with credit-rating thresholds and, in certain cases, though insignificant, transferring the counterparty credit risk related to interest rate swaps to third-parties through the use of risk participation agreements.
For additional information on derivatives and hedging activities, refer to Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Market Risk Management In addition to interest rate risk, the Company is exposed to other forms of market risk, principally related to trading activities which support customers’ strategies to manage their own foreign currency, interest rate risks and funding activities. The ALCO established the Market Risk Committee (“MRC”), which oversees market risk management. The MRC monitors and reviews the Company’s trading positions and establishes policies for market risk management, including exposure limits for each portfolio. The Company also manages market risk of non-trading business activities, including its MSRs and loans held for sale. The Company uses a Value at Risk (“VaR”) approach to measure general market risk. Theoretically, VaR represents the amount the Company has at risk of loss to adverse market movements over a

one-day time horizon. The Company measures VaR at the ninety-ninth percentile using distributions derived from past market data. On average, the Company expects the one-day VaR to be exceeded two to three times per year. The Company monitors the effectiveness of its risk program by back-testing the performance of its VaR models, regularly updating the historical data used by the VaR models and stress testing. The Company’s trading VaR did not exceed $2 million during the first six months of 2011 and did not exceed $5 million during the first six months of 2010.
Liquidity Risk Management The ALCO establishes policies and guidelines, as well as analyzes and manages liquidity, to ensure adequate funds are available to meet normal operating requirements, and unexpected customer demands for funds in a timely and cost-effective manner. Liquidity management is viewed from long-term and short-term perspectives, including various stress scenarios, as well as from an asset and liability perspective. Management monitors liquidity through a regular review of maturity profiles, funding sources, and loan and deposit forecasts to minimize funding risk. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Liquidity Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on liquidity risk management.
At June 30, 2011, parent company long-term debt outstanding was $14.0 billion, compared with $13.0 billion at December 31, 2010. The $1.0 billion increase was primarily due to $1.7 billion of medium-term note and subordinated debt issuances, partially offset by a $.7 billion extinguishment of junior subordinated debentures in connection with the issuance of perpetual preferred stock. As of June 30, 2011, there was no parent company debt scheduled to mature in the remainder of 2011.
Federal banking laws regulate the amount of dividends that may be paid by banking subsidiaries without prior approval. The amount of dividends available to the parent company from its banking subsidiaries after meeting the regulatory capital requirements for well-capitalized banks was approximately $7.0 billion at June 30, 2011.
Capital Management The Company is committed to managing capital to maintain strong protection for depositors and creditors and for maximum shareholder benefit. The Company also manages its capital to exceed regulatory capital requirements for well-capitalized bank holding companies. Table 9 provides a summary of regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010. All regulatory ratios exceeded regulatory “well-capitalized” requirements. Total U.S. Bancorp shareholders’ equity was $32.5 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $29.5 billion at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily the result of corporate earnings, the issuance of $.7 billion of perpetual preferred stock in exchange for the extinguishment of income trust securities and changes in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities included in other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Capital Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on capital management.

The Company believes certain capital ratios in addition to regulatory capital ratios are useful in evaluating its capital adequacy. The Company’s Tier 1 common equity (using Basel I definition) and tangible common equity, as a percent of risk-weighted assets, were 8.4 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2011, compared with 7.8 percent and 7.2 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2010. The Company’s tangible common equity divided by tangible assets was 6.5 percent at June 30, 2011, compared with 6.0 percent at December 31, 2010. Additionally, the Company’s Tier 1 common as a percent of risk-weighted assets, under anticipated Basel III guidelines, was 8.1 percent at June 30, 2011, compared with 7.3 percent at December 31, 2010. Refer to “Non-Regulatory Capital Ratios” for further information regarding the calculation of these measures.
On March 18, 2011, the Company announced its Board of Directors had approved an authorization to repurchase 50 million shares of common stock through December 31, 2011. All shares repurchased during the second quarter of 2011 were repurchased under this authorization.

LINE OF BUSINESS FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Company’s major lines of business are Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate, Consumer and Small Business Banking, Wealth Management and Securities Services, Payment Services, and Treasury and Corporate Support. These operating segments are components of the Company about which financial information is prepared and is evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
Basis for Financial Presentation Business line results are derived from the Company’s business unit profitability reporting systems by specifically attributing managed balance sheet assets, deposits and other liabilities and their related income or expense. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Line of Business Financial Review” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further discussion on the business lines’ basis for financial presentation.
Designations, assignments and allocations change from time to time as management systems are enhanced, methods of evaluating performance or product lines change or business segments are realigned to better respond to the Company’s diverse customer base. During 2011, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, 2010 results were restated and presented on a comparable basis.
Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate offers lending, equipment finance and small-ticket leasing, depository, treasury management, capital markets, foreign exchange, international trade services and other financial services to middle market, large corporate, commercial real estate, financial institution and public sector clients. Wholesale Banking and Commercial Real Estate contributed $265 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $473 million in the first six months of 2011, or increases of $169 million and $364 million, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were primarily driven by higher net revenue and lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Total net revenue increased $78 million (10.1 percent) in the second quarter and $148 million (9.8 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $35 million (7.1 percent) in the second quarter and $82 million (8.6 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The year-over-year increases in net interest income were primarily due to higher average loan and deposit balances and increases in loan fees, partially offset by the impact of declining rates on the margin benefit from deposits. Total noninterest income increased $43 million (15.2 percent) in the second quarter and $66 million (11.9 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were primarily due to growth in commercial products revenue, including syndication and other capital markets fees, commercial leasing, foreign exchange and international trade revenue, and commercial loan and standby letters of credit fees.
Total noninterest expense increased $24 million (7.9 percent) in the second quarter and $49 million (8.5 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were primarily due to higher total compensation, employee benefits and FDIC deposit insurance expense and increased shared services costs, partially offset by lower

costs on OREO. The provision for credit losses decreased $204 million (63.9 percent) in the second quarter and $468 million (61.5 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The favorable changes were primarily due to lower net charge-offs in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Nonperforming assets were $1.3 billion at June 30, 2011, $1.4 billion at March 31, 2011, and $2.0 billion at June 30, 2010. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of period-end loans were 2.22 percent at June 30, 2011, 2.50 percent at March 31, 2011, and 3.71 percent at June 30, 2010. Refer to the “Corporate Risk Profile” section for further information on factors impacting the credit quality of the loan portfolios.
Consumer and Small Business Banking Consumer and Small Business Banking delivers products and services through banking offices, telephone servicing and sales, on-line services, direct mail, ATM processing and over mobile devices. It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking, in-store banking, small business banking, consumer lending, mortgage banking, consumer finance, workplace banking, student banking and 24-hour banking. Consumer and Small Business Banking contributed $192 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $331 million in the first six months of 2011, or increases of $40 million (26.3 percent), and $22 million (7.1 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were due to lower provision for credit losses and increases in total net revenue, partially offset by higher total noninterest expense.
Within Consumer and Small Business Banking, the retail banking division contributed $56 million of the total net income in the second quarter and $75 million in the first six months of 2011, compared with $18 million and $75 million in the same periods of 2010. Mortgage banking contributed $136 million and $256 million of Consumer and Small Business Banking’s net income in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, compared with $134 million and $234 million in the same periods of 2010.
Total net revenue increased $32 million (1.8 percent) in the second quarter and $76 million (2.2 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $52 million (4.9 percent) in the second quarter and $152 million (7.2 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The year-over-year increases in net interest income were due to higher loan and deposit volumes, partially offset by declines in the margin benefit from deposits. Total noninterest income decreased $20 million (2.8 percent) in the second quarter and $76 million (5.5 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The year-over-year decreases in noninterest income were driven by reductions in deposit service charges, reflecting the impact of Company-initiated and regulatory revisions to overdraft fee policies, partially offset by core account growth and pricing changes. Retail lease residual valuation income increased year-over-year due to improved retail lease end of term results.
Total noninterest expense increased $43 million (3.9 percent) in the second quarter and $114 million (5.3 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases reflected higher compensation and employee benefits expense, FDIC deposit insurance expense, shared services costs and net occupancy and equipment expenses related to business initiatives, partially offset by lower other intangibles expense and litigation costs.
The provision for credit losses decreased $75 million (16.8 percent) in the second quarter and $69 million (8.2 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, principally due to lower net charge-offs. As a percentage of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis, net charge-offs decreased to 1.31 percent in the second quarter of 2011, compared with 1.57 percent in the second quarter of 2010. Nonperforming assets were $1.7 billion at June 30, 2011, $1.8 billion at March 31, 2011, and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2010. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of period-end loans were 1.58 percent at June 30, 2011, 1.66 percent at March 31, 2011, and 1.60 percent at June 30, 2010. Refer to the “Corporate Risk Profile” section for further information on factors impacting the credit quality of the loan portfolios.
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company’s two primary banking subsidiaries, U.S. Bank National Association and U.S. Bank National Association ND, entered into a Consent Order with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regarding residential mortgage servicing and foreclosure processes. The Company also entered into a related Consent Order with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Consent Orders were the result of an interagency horizontal review of the foreclosure practices of the 14 largest mortgage servicers in the United States.
The Consent Orders mandate certain changes to the Company’s mortgage servicing and foreclosure processes. Specifically, the Consent Orders require the Company, U.S. Bank National Association and U.S. Bank National Association ND to, among other things, submit a comprehensive action plan setting forth the steps necessary to ensure residential mortgage servicing and

foreclosure processes are conducted in accordance with the Consent Orders; develop and implement other plans and programs to enhance residential mortgage servicing and foreclosure processes; retain an independent consultant to conduct a review of certain residential mortgage foreclosure actions and to remediate errors or deficiencies identified by the consultant; and oversee compliance with the Consent Orders and the new plans and programs. The Company has made significant progress in complying with these requirements during the last several months.
The Company has long been committed to sound modification and foreclosure practices and is committed to revising its practices where necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Consent Orders. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any outstanding issues will materially affect its financial position, results of operations, or ability to conduct normal business activities.
Wealth Management and Securities Services Wealth Management and Securities Services provides private banking, financial advisory services, investment management, retail brokerage services, insurance, trust, custody and fund servicing through five businesses: Wealth Management, Corporate Trust Services, U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Institutional Trust & Custody and Fund Services. Wealth Management and Securities Services contributed $46 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $96 million in the first six months of 2011, or decreases of $14 million (23.3 percent) and $25 million (20.7 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010. The decreases were due to higher total noninterest expense, partially offset by increases in total net revenue.
Total net revenue increased $2 million (.6 percent) in the second quarter and $19 million (2.7 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $8 million (10.3 percent) in the second quarter and $32 million (22.4 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The year-over-year increases in net interest income were primarily due to higher average deposit balances, including the impact of the securitization trust acquisition. Total noninterest income declined $6 million (2.2 percent) in the second quarter and $13 million (2.4 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Trust and investment management fees declined, primarily due to the sale of the long-term asset management business in the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by the impact of the fourth quarter securitization trust acquisition and improved market conditions during the second quarter and first six months of 2011. Additionally, investment product fees were higher due to increased sales volumes.
Total noninterest expense increased $32 million (12.4 percent) in the second quarter and $60 million (11.9 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases in noninterest expense were primarily due to higher compensation and employee benefits expense, higher net shared services expense and the impact of the securitization trust acquisition, partially offset by reductions in other intangibles expense and expenses related to the sale of the long-term asset management business.
Payment Services Payment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, stored-value cards, debit cards, corporate and purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit and merchant processing. Payment Services contributed $364 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $654 million in the first six months of 2011, or increases of $182 million and $357 million, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were primarily due to decreases in the provision for credit losses.
Total net revenue increased $34 million (3.0 percent) in the second quarter and $37 million (1.7 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, decreased $6 million (1.8 percent) in the second quarter and $22 million (3.2 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, primarily due to lower retail credit card average loan balances and loan fees. Noninterest income increased $40 million (5.1 percent) in the second quarter and $59 million (3.8 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, primarily due to increased transaction volumes.
Total noninterest expense increased $14 million (3.0 percent) in the second quarter and $35 million (3.9 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The increases were driven by higher compensation and employee benefits expense and processing costs, partially offset by lower other intangibles expense. The provision for credit losses decreased $269 million (75.1 percent) in the second quarter and $567 million (69.1 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. The decreases were due to lower net charge-offs and favorable changes in the reserve allocation due to improved loss rates. As a percentage of average loans outstanding, net charge-offs were 4.70 percent in the second quarter of 2011, compared with 6.72 percent in the second quarter of 2010.

Treasury and Corporate Support Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company’s investment portfolios, most covered commercial and commercial real estate loans and related other real estate owned, funding, capital management, asset securitization, interest rate risk management, the net effect of transfer pricing related to average balances and the residual aggregate of those expenses associated with corporate activities that are managed on a consolidated basis. Treasury and Corporate Support recorded net income of $336 million in the second quarter and $695 million in the first six months of 2011, compared with $276 million in the second quarter and $599 million in the first six months of 2010.
Total net revenue increased $25 million (5.1 percent) in the second quarter and $89 million (9.3 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $46 million (10.5 percent) in the second quarter and decreased $5 million (.5 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, reflecting the impact of wholesale funding decisions and the Company’s asset/liability position. Total noninterest income decreased $21 million (40.4 percent) in the second quarter of 2011, compared with the second quarter of 2010, due to a gain related to the Company’s investment in Visa Inc. recorded in the second quarter of 2010, partially offset by lower net securities losses. Total noninterest income increased $94 million in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same period of 2010, principally due to the FCB gain recorded in the first quarter of 2011 and lower net securities losses.
Total noninterest expense decreased $65 million (25.1 percent) in the second quarter and $32 million (8.2 percent) in the first six months of 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, as favorable variances in the shared services allocation and the impact of debt extinguishment costs recorded in the second quarter of 2010, were partially offset by higher pension and professional services costs.
Income taxes are assessed to each line of business at a managerial tax rate of 36.4 percent with the residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate included in Treasury and Corporate Support.
In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, the Company considers various other measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including:
Tangible common equity to tangible assets,
Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets using Basel I definition,
Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets using anticipated Basel III definition, and
Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets using Basel I definition.
These non-regulatory capital ratios are viewed by management as useful additional methods of reflecting the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. Additionally, presentation of these ratios allows readers to compare the Company’s capitalization to other financial services companies. These ratios differ from capital ratios defined by banking regulators principally in that the numerator excludes preferred securities, the nature and extent of which varies among different financial services companies. These ratios are not defined in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) or federal banking regulations. As a result, these non-regulatory capital ratios disclosed by the Company may be considered non-GAAP financial measures.
Because there are no standardized definitions for these non-regulatory capital ratios, the Company’s calculation methods may differ from those used by other financial services companies. Also, there may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, the Company encourages readers to consider the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this report in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The Company’s financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions, which are integral to understanding the Company’s financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those policies management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or complex. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Those policies considered to be critical accounting policies relate to the allowance for credit losses, fair value estimates, purchased loans and related indemnification assets, MSRs, goodwill and other intangibles and income taxes. Management has discussed the development and the selection of critical accounting policies with the Company’s Audit Committee. These accounting policies are discussed in detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Critical Accounting Policies” and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there was no change made in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management of U.S. Bancorp (the “Company”), all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been made. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Accounting policies for the lines of business are generally the same as those used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements with respect to activities specifically attributable to each business line. However, the preparation of business line results requires management to establish methodologies to allocate funding costs, expenses and other financial elements to each line of business. Table 10 “Line of Business Financial Performance” included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis provides details of segment results. This information is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 Accounting Changes
Troubled Debt Restructurings In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance related to identifying and disclosing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), effective for the Company on July 1, 2011, to be applied retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011. This guidance provides clarification in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for the purpose of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial statements.

Note 3 Business Combinations
In January 2011, the Company acquired the banking operations of First Community Bank of New Mexico (“FCB”) from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FCB transaction did not include a loss sharing agreement. The Company acquired 38 branch locations and approximately $2.1 billion in assets, assumed approximately $2.1 billion in liabilities, and received approximately $412 million in cash from the FDIC. In addition, the Company recognized a $46 million gain on this transaction during the first quarter of 2011.

(a) Held-to-maturity securities are carried at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts and credit-related other-than-temporary impairment.
(b) Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized net gains or losses reported within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity.
(c) Prime securities are those designated as such by the issuer or those with underlying asset characteristics and/or credit enhancements consistent with securities designated as prime.
The weighted-average maturity of the available-for-sale investment securities was 7.4 years at both June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010. The corresponding weighted-average yields were 3.33 percent and 3.41 percent, respectively. The weighted-average maturity of the held-to-maturity investment securities was 5.2 years at June 30, 2011, and 6.3 years at December 31, 2010. The corresponding weighted-average yields were 2.26 percent and 2.07 percent, respectively.
For amortized cost, fair value and yield by maturity date of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities outstanding at June 30, 2011, refer to Table 4 included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis which is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Securities carried at $22.7 billion at June 30, 2011, and $28.0 billion at December 31, 2010, were pledged to secure public, private and trust deposits, repurchase agreements and for other purposes required by law. Included in these amounts were securities sold under agreements to repurchase where the buyer/lender has the right to sell or pledge the securities and which were collateralized by securities with a carrying amount of $7.2 billion at June 30, 2011, and $9.3 billion at December 31, 2010.

In 2007, the Company purchased certain structured investment securities (“SIVs”) from certain money market funds managed by an affiliate of the Company. Subsequent to the initial purchase, the Company exchanged its interest in the SIVs for a pro-rata portion of the underlying investment securities according to the applicable restructuring agreements. The SIVs and the investment securities received are collectively referred to as “SIV-related securities.”
Some of the SIV-related securities evidenced credit deterioration at the time of acquisition by the Company. Investment securities with evidence of credit deterioration at acquisition had an unpaid principal balance and fair value of $443 million and $168 million, respectively, at June 30, 2011, and $485 million and $173 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010.

The Company conducts a regular assessment of its investment securities with unrealized losses to determine whether securities are other-than-temporarily impaired considering, among other factors, the nature of the securities, credit ratings or financial condition of the issuer, the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, expected cash flows of underlying collateral, market conditions and whether the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the securities.

The Company determined the other-than-temporary impairment recorded in earnings for securities by estimating the future cash flows of each individual security, using market information where available, and discounting the cash flows at the original effective rate of the security. Other-than-temporary impairment recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) was measured as the difference between that discounted amount and the fair value of each security. The following table includes the ranges for principal assumptions used for those available-for-sale non-agency mortgage-backed securities determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired:

(a) Prime securities are those designated as such by the issuer or those with underlying asset characteristics and/or credit enhanacements consistent with securities designated as prime.
The Company does not consider these unrealized losses to be credit-related. These unrealized losses primarily relate to changes in interest rates and market spreads subsequent to purchase. A substantial portion of securities that have unrealized losses are either corporate debt, obligations of state and political subdivisions or mortgage-backed securities issued with high investment grade credit ratings. In general, the issuers of the investment securities are contractually prohibited from prepayment at less than par, and the Company did not pay significant purchase premiums for these securities. At June 30, 2011, the Company had no plans to sell securities with unrealized losses, and believes it is more likely than not it would not be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost.

The Company had loans of $60.4 billion at June 30, 2011, and $62.8 billion at December 31, 2010, pledged at the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), and loans of $44.6 billion at both June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, pledged at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Originated loans are presented net of unearned interest and deferred fees and costs, which amounted to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2011, and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2010. In accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance, all purchased loans and related indemnification assets are recorded at fair value at the date of purchase. The Company evaluates purchased loans for impairment in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered “purchased impaired loans”. All other purchased loans are considered “purchased nonimpaired loans”.

Covered assets represent loans and other assets acquired from the FDIC subject to loss sharing agreements in the Downey Savings and Loan Association, F.A.; PFF Bank and Trust; and First Bank of Oak Park Corporation transactions and included expected reimbursements from the FDIC of approximately $2.8 billion at June 30, 2011 and $3.1 billion at December 31, 2010. The carrying amount of the covered assets consisted of purchased impaired loans, purchased nonimpaired loans, and other assets as shown in the following table:

At June 30, 2011, $.3 billion of the purchased impaired loans included in covered loans were classified as nonperforming assets, compared with $.5 billion at December 31, 2010, because the expected cash flows are primarily based on the liquidation of underlying collateral and the timing and amount of the cash flows could not be reasonably estimated. Interest income is recognized on other purchased impaired loans through accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of those loans and their expected cash flows. The initial determination of the fair value of the purchased loans includes the impact of expected credit losses and, therefore, no allowance for credit losses is recorded at the purchase date. To the extent credit deterioration occurs after the date of acquisition, the Company records an allowance for credit losses.
On the acquisition date, the preliminary estimate of the contractually required payments receivable for all purchased impaired loans acquired in the FCB transaction were $502 million, the cash flows expected to be collected were $338 million including interest, and the estimated fair values of the loans were $238 million. These amounts were determined based upon the estimated remaining life of the underlying loans, which includes the effects of estimated prepayments. For the purchased nonimpaired loans acquired in the FCB transaction, the preliminary estimate as of the acquisition date of the contractually required payments receivable were $1.2 billion, the contractual cash flows not expected to be collected were $184 million, and the estimated fair value of the loans was $828 million.
Changes in the accretable balance for all purchased impaired loans, including those acquired in the FCB transaction, were as follows:

The allowance for credit losses reserves for probable and estimable losses incurred in the Company’s loan and lease portfolio and includes certain amounts that do not represent loss exposure to the Company because those losses are recoverable under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to ensure it appropriately reserves for incurred losses. Several factors are taken into consideration in evaluating the allowance for credit losses, including the risk profile of the portfolios, loan net charge-offs during the period, the level of nonperforming assets, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, delinquency ratios and changes in loan balances classified as TDRs. Management also considers the uncertainty related to certain industry sectors, and the extent of credit exposure to specific borrowers within the portfolio. In addition, concentration risks associated with commercial real estate and the mix of loans, including credit cards, loans originated through the consumer finance division and
U.S. Bancorp

residential mortgage balances, and their relative credit risks, are evaluated. Finally, the Company considers current economic conditions that might impact the portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates, including amounts of future cash collections expected on nonaccrual loans, which may be susceptible to significant change. The allowance for credit losses relating to originated loans that have become impaired is based on expected cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate, the observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans. To the extent credit deterioration occurs on purchased loans after the date of acquisition, the Company records an allowance for credit losses.
The Company determines the amount of the allowance required for certain sectors based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for commercial loans is generally based on quarterly reviews of individual credit relationships and an analysis of the migration of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The allowance recorded for homogeneous commercial and consumer loans is based on an analysis of product mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, bankruptcy experiences, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends, for each homogenous category or group of loans. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs.
The Company also assesses the credit risk associated with off-balance sheet loan commitments, letters of credit, and derivatives. Credit risk associated with derivatives is reflected in the fair values recorded for those positions. The liability for off-balance sheet credit exposure related to loan commitments and other credit guarantees is included in other liabilities. Because business processes and credit risks associated with unfunded credit commitments are essentially the same as for loans, the Company utilizes similar processes to estimate its liability for unfunded credit commitments.

Credit Quality The quality of the Company’s loan portfolios is assessed as a function of net credit losses, levels of nonperforming assets and delinquencies, and credit quality ratings as defined by the Company. These credit quality ratings are an important part of the Company’s overall credit risk management process and evaluation of its allowance for credit losses.
Generally, commercial loans (including impaired loans) are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of interest or principal has become 90 days past due or is otherwise considered doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Future interest payments are generally applied against principal. Commercial loans are generally fully or partially charged down to the fair value of collateral securing the loan, less costs to sell, when the loan is deemed to be uncollectible, repayment is deemed beyond reasonable time frames, the borrower has filed for bankruptcy, or the loan is unsecured and greater than six months past due. Loans secured by 1-4 family properties are generally charged down to fair value, less costs to sell, at 180 days past due, and placed on nonaccrual status in instances where a partial charge-off occurs. Revolving consumer lines and credit cards are charged off at 180 days past due and closed-end consumer loans, other than loans secured by 1-4 family properties, are charged off at 120 days past due and are, therefore, generally not placed on nonaccrual status. Certain retail customers having financial difficulties may have the terms of their credit card and other loan agreements modified to require only principal payments and, as such, are reported as nonaccrual.
Generally, purchased impaired loans are considered accruing loans. However, the timing and amount of future cash flows for some loans is not reasonably estimable. Those loans are classified as nonaccrual loans and interest income is not recognized until the timing and amount of the future cash flows can be reasonably estimated.
The following table provides a summary of loans by portfolio type, including the delinquency status of those that continue to accrue interest, and those that are nonperforming:

The Company classifies its loan portfolios using internal credit quality ratings on a quarterly basis. These ratings include: pass, special mention and classified, and are an important part of the Company’s overall credit risk management process and evaluation of the allowance for credit losses. Loans with a pass rating represent those not classified on the Company’s rating scale for problem credits, as minimal credit risk has been identified. Special mention loans are those that have a potential weakness deserving management’s close attention. Classified loans are those where a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk. It is possible that others, given the same information, may reach different reasonable conclusions regarding the credit quality rating classification of specific loans.

(a) Classified rating on consumer loans based on delinguency status.
A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current events or information, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due per the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include certain nonaccrual commercial loans, loans for which a charge-off has been recorded based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral and loans modified as TDRs. Interest income is recognized on impaired loans under the modified terms and conditions if the borrower has demonstrated repayment performance at a level commensurate with the modified terms over several payment cycles. Purchased impaired loans are not reported as impaired loans if the timing and amount of the cash flows expected to be collected are reasonably estimable and the loans continue to perform at least as well as expected at acquisition. Nonaccrual commercial leases of $43 million and $78 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were excluded from impaired loans as commercial leases are accounted for under authoritative accounting guidance for leases, and are excluded from the definition of an impaired loan under loan impairment guidance.

Note 6 Accounting For Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Variable Interest Entities
The Company sells financial assets in the normal course of business. The majority of the Company’s financial asset sales are residential mortgage loan sales primarily to government-sponsored enterprises through established programs, the sale or syndication of tax-advantaged investments, commercial loan sales through participation agreements, and other individual or portfolio loan and securities sales. In accordance with the accounting guidance for asset transfers, the Company considers any ongoing involvement with transferred assets in determining whether the assets can be derecognized from the balance sheet. For loans sold under participation agreements, the Company also considers the terms of the loan participation agreement and whether they meet the definition of a participating interest and thus qualify for derecognition. With the exception of servicing and certain performance-based guarantees, the Company’s continuing involvement with financial assets sold is minimal and generally limited to market customary representation and warranty clauses. The guarantees provided to certain third-parties in connection with the sale or syndication of certain assets, primarily loan portfolios and tax-advantaged investments, are further discussed in Note 14. When the Company sells financial assets, it may retain servicing rights and/or other interests in the transferred financial assets. The gain or loss on sale depends on the previous carrying amount of the transferred financial assets and the consideration received and any liabilities incurred in exchange for the transferred assets. Upon transfer, any servicing assets and other interests that continue to be held by the Company are initially recognized at fair value. For further information on mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), refer to Note 7. The Company has no asset securitizations or similar asset-backed financing arrangements that are off-balance sheet.

The Company is involved in various entities that are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The Company’s investments in VIEs primarily represent private investment funds or partnerships that make equity investments, provide debt financing or support community-based investments in affordable housing development entities that provide capital for communities located in low-income districts and for historic rehabilitation projects that may enable the Company to ensure regulatory compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. In addition, the Company sponsors entities to which it transfers tax-advantaged investments. The Company’s investments in these entities are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal and state income tax credits over specified time periods. The Company realized federal and state income tax credits related to these investments of $166 million and $163 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $319 million and $311 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company amortizes its investments in these entities as the tax credits are realized. Tax credit amortization expense is recorded in tax expense for investments meeting certain characteristics, and in other noninterest expense for other investments. Amortization expense recorded in tax expense was $57 million and $43 million, and in other noninterest expense was $129 million and $138 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amortization expense recorded in tax expense was $115 million and $87 million, and in other noninterest expense was $242 million and $255 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
At June 30, 2011, approximately $4.5 billion of the Company’s assets and $3.2 billion of its liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheet were related to community development and tax-advantaged investment VIEs, compared with $3.8 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2010. The majority of the assets of these consolidated VIEs are reported in other assets, and the liabilities are reported in long-term debt. The assets of a particular VIE are the primary source of funds to settle its obligations. The creditors of the VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. The Company’s exposure to the consolidated VIEs is generally limited to the carrying value of its variable interests plus any related tax credits previously recognized.
In addition, the Company sponsors a conduit to which it previously transferred high-grade investment securities. The Company consolidates the conduit because of its ability to manage the activities of the conduit. At June 30, 2011, $251 million of the held-to-maturity investment securities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet related to the conduit, compared with $400 million at December 31, 2010.
The Company also sponsors a municipal bond securities tender option bond program. The Company controls the activities of the program’s entities, is entitled to the residual returns and provides credit, liquidity and remarketing arrangements to the program. As a result, the Company has consolidated the program’s entities. At June 30, 2011, $5.5 billion of available-for-sale securities and $5.7 billion of short-term borrowings on the consolidated balance sheet were related to the tender option bond program, compared with $5.3 billion of available-for-sale securities and $5.7 billion of short-term borrowings at December 31, 2010.
The Company is not required to consolidate other VIEs in which it has concluded it does not have a controlling financial interest, and thus is not the primary beneficiary. In such cases, the Company does not have both the power to direct the entities’ most significant activities and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs ranged from less than $1 million to $38 million, with an aggregate amount of approximately $1.9 billion at June 30, 2011, and from less than $1 million to $41 million, with an aggregate amount of approximately $2.0 billion at December 31, 2010. The Company’s investments in these unconsolidated VIEs generally are carried in other assets on the balance sheet. While the Company believes potential losses from these investments are remote, the Company’s maximum exposure to these unconsolidated VIEs, including any tax implications, was approximately $4.6 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $5.0 billion at December 31, 2010. This maximum exposure is determined by assuming a scenario where the separate investments within the individual private funds were to become worthless, and the community-based business and housing projects and related tax credits completely failed and did not meet certain government compliance requirements.

Note 7 Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company serviced $184.9 billion of residential mortgage loans for others at June 30, 2011, and $173.9 billion at December 31, 2010. The net impact included in mortgage banking revenue of assumption changes on the fair value of MSRs and fair value changes of derivatives used to economically hedge MSR value changes was a net gain of $82 million and $55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively, and a net gain of

$144 million and $97 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Loan servicing fees, not including valuation changes, included in mortgage banking revenue, were $160 million and $143 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively, and $317 million and $285 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The fair value of MSRs and their sensitivity to changes in interest rates is influenced by the mix of the servicing portfolio and characteristics of each segment of the portfolio. The Company’s servicing portfolio consists of the distinct portfolios of government-insured mortgages, conventional mortgages, and Mortgage Revenue Bond Programs (“MRBP”). The servicing portfolios are predominantly comprised of fixed-rate agency loans with limited adjustable-rate or jumbo mortgage loans. The MRBP division specializes in servicing loans made under state and local housing authority programs. These programs provide mortgages to low-income and moderate-income borrowers and are generally government-insured programs with a favorable rate subsidy, down payment and/or closing cost assistance.

Note 12 Derivative Instruments
The Company recognizes all derivatives in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value as other assets or liabilities. On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (“fair value hedge”); a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”); a hedge of the volatility of an investment in foreign operations driven by changes in foreign currency exchange rates (“net investment hedge”); or a designation is not made as it is a customer-related transaction, an economic hedge for asset/liability risk management purposes or another stand-alone derivative created through the Company’s operations (“free-standing derivative”).
Of the Company’s $36.0 billion of total notional amount of asset and liability management positions at June 30, 2011, $8.6 billion was designated as a fair value, cash flow or net investment hedge. When a derivative is designated as a fair value, cash flow or net investment hedge, the Company performs an assessment, at inception and, at a minimum, quarterly thereafter, to determine the effectiveness of the derivative in offsetting changes in the value or cash flows of the hedged item(s).
Fair Value Hedges These derivatives are primarily interest rate swaps that hedge the change in fair value related to interest rate changes of underlying fixed-rate debt and junior subordinated debentures. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges, and changes in the fair value of the hedged items, are recorded in earnings. All fair value hedges were highly effective for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and the change in fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material.
Cash Flow Hedges These derivatives are interest rate swaps that are hedges of the forecasted cash flows from the underlying variable-rate debt. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until expense from the cash flows of the hedged items is realized. If a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is terminated or ceases to be highly effective, the gain or loss in other comprehensive income (loss) is amortized to earnings over the period the forecasted hedged transactions impact earnings. If a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, hedge accounting is ceased and any gain or loss included in other comprehensive income (loss) is reported in earnings immediately, unless the forecasted transaction is at least reasonably possible of occurring, whereby the amounts within other comprehensive income (loss) remain. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $424 million (net-of-tax) of realized and unrealized losses on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), compared with $414 million (net-of-tax) at December 31, 2010. The estimated amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the remainder of 2011 and the next 12 months is a loss of $69 million (net-of-tax) and $134 million (net-of-tax), respectively. This includes gains and losses related to hedges that were terminated early for which the forecasted transactions are still probable. All cash flow hedges were highly effective for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and the change in fair value attributed to hedge ineffectiveness was not material.
Net Investment Hedges The Company uses forward commitments to sell specified amounts of certain foreign currencies to hedge the volatility of its investment in foreign operations driven by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The ineffectiveness on all net investment hedges was not material for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Other Derivative Positions The Company enters into free-standing derivatives to mitigate interest rate risk and for other risk management purposes. These derivatives include forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans, which are used to economically hedge the interest rate risk related to residential mortgage loans held for sale. The Company also enters into U.S. Treasury futures, options on U.S. Treasury futures contracts, interest rate swaps and forward commitments to buy residential mortgage loans to economically hedge the change in the fair value of the Company’s residential MSRs. In addition, the Company acts as a seller and buyer of interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts for its customers. To mitigate the market and liquidity risk associated with these customer derivatives, the Company enters into similar offsetting positions. The Company also has derivative contracts that are created through its operations, including commitments to originate mortgage loans held for sale and certain derivative financial guarantee contracts.
For additional information on the Company’s purpose for entering into derivative transactions and its overall risk management strategies, refer to “Management Discussion and Analysis — Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate and Other Risks” which is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note: The fair value of asset and liability derivatives are included in Other assets and Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, respectively.
(a) Represents netting of derivative asset and liability balances, and related collateral, with the same counterparty subject to master netting agreements. Authoritative accounting guidance permits the netting of derivative receivables and payables when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists between the Company and a derivative counterparty. A master netting agreement is an agreement between two counterparties who have multiple derivative contracts with each other that provide for the net settlement of contracts through a single payment, in a single currency, in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. At June 30, 2011, the amount of cash and money market investments collateral posted by counterparties that was netted against derivative assets was $81 million and the amount of cash collateral posted by the Company that was netted against derivative liabilities was $894 million. At December 31, 2010, the amount of cash and money market investments collateral posted by counterparties that was netted against derivative assets was $55 million and the amount of cash collateral posted by the Company that was netted against derivative liabilities was $936 million.

Gains (Losses) on items hedged by interest rate contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts, included in noninterest income (expense), were $(24) million and $(97) million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $83 million and $230 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The ineffective portion was immaterial for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Derivatives are subject to credit risk associated with counterparties to the derivative contracts. The Company measures that credit risk based on its assessment of the probability of counterparty default and includes that within the fair value of the derivative. The Company manages counterparty credit risk through diversification of its derivative positions among various counterparties, by entering into master netting agreements where possible and by requiring collateral agreements which allow the Company to call for immediate, full collateral coverage when credit-rating thresholds are triggered by counterparties.
The Company’s collateral agreements are bilateral and, therefore, contain provisions that require collateralization of the Company’s net liability derivative positions. Required collateral coverage is based on certain net liability thresholds and contingent upon the Company’s credit rating from two of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. If the Company’s credit rating were to fall below credit ratings thresholds established in the collateral agreements, the counterparties to the derivatives could request immediate full collateral coverage for derivatives in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivatives under collateral agreements that were in a net liability position at June 30, 2011, was $1.4 billion. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $894 million of cash posted as collateral against this net liability position.

Note 13 Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities
The Company uses fair value measurements for the initial recording of certain assets and liabilities, periodic remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities, and disclosures. Derivatives, trading and available-for-sale investment securities, certain mortgage loans held for sale (“MLHFS”) and MSRs are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-fair value accounting or impairment write-downs of individual assets.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement reflects all of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance.
The Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy for valuation techniques used to measure financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. This hierarchy is based on whether the valuation inputs are observable or unobservable. These levels are:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 includes U.S. Treasury and exchange-traded instruments.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes debt securities that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and which are valued using third-party pricing services; derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data; and MLHFS whose values are determined using quoted prices for similar assets or pricing models with inputs that are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category includes residential MSRs, certain debt securities, including the Company’s SIV-related securities and non-agency mortgaged-backed securities, and certain derivative contracts.
When the Company changes its valuation inputs for measuring financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, either due to changes in current market conditions or other factors, it may need to transfer those assets or liabilities to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfers occur. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no significant transfers of financial assets or financial liabilities between the hierarchy levels.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value as required under disclosure guidance related to the fair value of financial instruments. In addition, for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the following section includes an indication of the level of the fair value hierarchy in which the assets or liabilities are classified. Where appropriate, the description includes information about the valuation models and key inputs to those models.
Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying value of cash, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements was assumed to approximate fair value.
Investment Securities When available, quoted market prices are used to determine the fair value of investment securities and such items are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
For other securities, the Company determines fair value based on various sources and may apply matrix pricing with observable prices for similar securities where a price for the identical security is not observable. Prices are verified, where possible, to prices of observable market trades as obtained from independent sources. Securities measured at fair value by such methods are classified within Level 2.
U.S. Bancorp

Table of Contents

The fair value of securities for which there are no market trades, or where trading is inactive as compared to normal market activity, are classified within Level 3. Securities classified within Level 3 include non-agency mortgage-backed securities, certain asset-backed securities, certain collateralized debt obligations and collateralized loan obligations, certain corporate debt securities and SIV-related securities. Due to the limited number of trades of non-agency mortgage-backed securities and lack of reliable evidence about transaction prices, the Company determines the fair value of these securities using a cash flow methodology and incorporating observable market information, where available.
Cash flow methodologies and other market valuation techniques involving management judgment use assumptions regarding housing prices, interest rates and borrower performance. Inputs are refined and updated to reflect market developments. The primary valuation drivers of these securities are the prepayment rates, default rates and default severities associated with the underlying collateral, as well as the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the projected cash flows.
The following table shows the valuation assumption ranges for Level 3 available-for-sale non-agency mortgage-backed securities:
Prime (a) Non-prime

(a) Prime securities are those designated as such by the issuer or those with underlying asset characteristics and/or credit enhancements consistent with securities designated as prime.
Certain mortgage loans held for sale MLHFS measured at fair value, for which an active secondary market and readily available market prices exist, are initially valued at the transaction price and are subsequently valued by comparison to instruments with similar collateral and risk profiles. MLHFS are classified within Level 2. Included in mortgage banking revenue was an $11 million net loss and a $84 million net gain, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a $136 million net loss and a $126 million net gain for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from the changes to fair value of these MLHFS under fair value option accounting guidance. Changes in fair value due to instrument specific credit risk were immaterial. The fair value of MLHFS was $3.3 billion as of June 30, 2011, which exceeded the unpaid principal balance by $117 million as of that date. Interest income for MLHFS is measured based on contractual interest rates and reported as interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Electing to measure MLHFS at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better matches changes in fair value of these assets with changes in the value of the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting.
Loans The loan portfolio includes adjustable and fixed-rate loans, the fair value of which was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and other valuation techniques. The expected cash flows of loans considered historical prepayment experiences and estimated credit losses for nonperforming loans and were discounted using current rates offered to borrowers of similar credit characteristics. Generally, loan fair values reflect Level 3 information.
Mortgage servicing rights MSRs are valued using a cash flow methodology and third-party prices, if available. Accordingly, MSRs are classified within Level 3. The Company determines fair value by estimating the present value of the asset’s future cash flows using market-based prepayment rates, discount rates, and other assumptions validated through comparison to trade information, industry surveys, and independent third-party valuations. Risks inherent in MSRs valuation include higher than expected prepayment rates and/or delayed receipt of cash flows.
Derivatives Exchange-traded derivatives are measured at fair value based on quoted market (i.e., exchange) prices. Because prices are available for the identical instrument in an active market, these fair values are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

The majority of derivatives held by the Company are executed over-the-counter and are valued using standard cash flow, Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo valuation techniques. The models incorporate inputs, depending on the type of derivative, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates and volatility. In addition, all derivative values incorporate an assessment of the risk of counterparty nonperformance, measured based on the Company’s evaluation of credit risk as well as external assessments of credit risk, where available. In its assessment of nonperformance risk, the Company considers its ability to net derivative positions under master netting agreements, as well as collateral received or provided under collateral support agreements. The majority of these derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the significant inputs to the models are observable. An exception to the Level 2 classification is certain derivative transactions for which the risk of nonperformance cannot be observed in the market. These derivatives are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, commitments to sell, purchase and originate mortgage loans that meet the requirements of a derivative, are valued by pricing models that include market observable and unobservable inputs. Due to the significant unobservable inputs, these commitments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Deposit Liabilities The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit was estimated by discounting the contractual cash flow using current market rates.
Short-term Borrowings Federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper and other short-term funds borrowed have floating rates or short-term maturities. The fair value of short-term borrowings was determined by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates.
Long-term Debt The fair value for most long-term debt was determined by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates. Junior subordinated debt instruments were valued using market quotes.
Loan Commitments, Letters of Credit and Guarantees The fair value of commitments, letters of credit and guarantees represents the estimated costs to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with a third-party. The fair value of residential mortgage commitments is estimated based on observable and unobservable inputs. Other loan commitments, letters of credit and guarantees are not actively traded, and the Company estimates their fair value based on the related amount of unamortized deferred commitment fees adjusted for the probable losses for these arrangements.

Note 14 Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities
Visa Restructuring and Card Association Litigation The Company’s payment services business issues and acquires credit and debit card transactions through the Visa U.S.A. Inc. card association or its affiliates (collectively “Visa”). In 2007, Visa completed a restructuring and issued shares of Visa Inc. common stock to its financial institution members in contemplation of its initial public offering (“IPO”) completed in the first quarter of 2008 (the “Visa Reorganization”). As a part of the Visa Reorganization, the Company received its proportionate number of shares of Visa Inc. common stock, which were subsequently converted to Class B shares of Visa Inc. (“Class B shares”). The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants along with Visa U.S.A. Inc. (“Visa U.S.A.”) and MasterCard International (collectively, the “Card Associations”), as well as several other banks, in antitrust lawsuits challenging the practices of the Card Associations (the “Visa Litigation”). Visa U.S.A. member banks have a contingent obligation to indemnify Visa Inc. under the Visa U.S.A. bylaws (which were modified at the time of the restructuring in October 2007) for potential losses arising from the Visa Litigation. The indemnification by the Visa U.S.A. member banks has no specific maximum amount. The Company has also entered into judgment and loss sharing agreements with Visa U.S.A. and certain other banks in order to apportion financial responsibilities arising from any potential adverse judgment or negotiated settlements related to the Visa Litigation.
In 2007 and 2008, Visa announced settlement agreements relating to certain of the Visa Litigation matters. Visa U.S.A. member banks remain obligated to indemnify Visa Inc. for potential losses arising from the remaining Visa Litigation. Using proceeds from its IPO and through subsequent reductions to the conversion ratio applicable to the Class B shares held by Visa U.S.A. member banks, Visa Inc. has established an escrow account for the benefit of member financial institutions to fund the expenses of the Visa Litigation, as well as the members’ proportionate share of any judgments or settlements that may arise out of the Visa Litigation. The receivable related to the escrow account is classified in other liabilities as a direct offset to the related Visa Litigation contingent liability, and will decline as amounts are paid out of the escrow account. During the first quarter of 2011, Visa deposited additional funds into the escrow account and further reduced the conversion ratio applicable to the Class B shares. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $22 million during the first quarter of 2011 related to the effective repurchase of a portion of the Class B shares.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2011, the carrying amount of the Company’s liability related to the remaining Visa Litigation matters, was $28 million. Class B shares are non-transferable, except for transfers to other Visa U.S.A. member banks. The remaining Class B shares held by the Company will be eligible for conversion to Class A shares upon settlement of the Visa Litigation.

(a) The maximum potential future payments does not include loan sales where the Company provides standard representations and warranties to the buyer against losses related to loan underwriting documentation. For these types of loan sales, the maximum potential future payments are not readily determinable because the Company’s obligation under these agreements depends upon the occurrence of future events.
Merchant Processing The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides merchant processing services. Under the rules of credit card associations, a merchant processor retains a contingent liability for credit card transactions processed. This contingent liability arises in the event of a billing dispute between the merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder’s favor. In this situation, the transaction is “charged-back” to the merchant and the disputed amount is credited or otherwise refunded to the cardholder. If the Company is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, it bears the loss for the amount of the refund paid to the cardholder.
The Company currently processes card transactions in the United States, Canada and Europe for airline companies. In the event of liquidation of these merchants, the Company could become financially liable for refunding tickets purchased through the credit card associations under the charge-back provisions. Charge-back risk related to these merchants is evaluated in a manner similar to credit risk assessments and, as such, merchant processing contracts contain various provisions to protect the Company in the event of default. At June 30, 2011, the value of airline tickets purchased to be delivered at a future date was $7.4 billion. The Company held collateral of $609 million in escrow deposits, letters of credit and indemnities from financial institutions, and liens on various assets.
Asset Sales The Company regularly sells loans to government-sponsored entities (“GSEs”) as part of its mortgage banking activities. The Company provides customary representations and warranties to the GSEs in conjunction with these sales. These representations and warranties generally require the Company to repurchase assets if it is subsequently determined that a loan did not meet specified criteria, such as a documentation deficiency or rescission of mortgage insurance. If the Company is unable to cure or refute a repurchase request, the Company is generally obligated to repurchase the loan or otherwise reimburse the counterparty for losses. At June 30, 2011, the Company had reserved $173 million for potential losses from representations and warranty obligations. The reserve is based on the Company’s repurchase and loss trends, and quantitative and qualitative factors that may result in anticipated losses being different from historical loss trends, including loan vintage, underwriting characteristics and macroeconomic trends.
Checking Account Overdraft Fee Litigation The Company is a defendant in three separate cases primarily challenging the Company’s daily ordering of debit transactions posted to customer checking accounts for the period from 2003 to 2010. The plaintiffs have requested class action treatment; however, no class has been certified. The court has denied a motion by the Company to dismiss these cases. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses against these matters, including class certification. As these cases are in the early stages and no damages have been specified, no specific loss range or range of loss can be determined currently.
Other During the second quarter of 2011, the Company and its two primary banking subsidiaries entered into Consent Orders with U.S. federal banking regulators regarding the Company’s residential mortgage servicing and foreclosure processes. The Company has not been notified of any monetary penalty related to the Consent Orders, however, the Consent Orders could result in fines, penalties, restitutions or other alterations to the Company’s business practices. Other governmental authorities are reported to be discussing various actions with certain mortgage

servicers, although the Company has not been notified of any pending regulatory actions or penalties beyond the Consent Orders. Such actions could also lead to fines, settlements or alterations in business practices.
The Company is subject to various other litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its businesses. Due to their complex nature, it may be years before some matters are resolved. While it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate resolution or range of financial liability with respect to these contingent matters, the Company believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
For additional information on the nature of the Company’s guarantees and contingent liabilities, refer to Note 22 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 15 Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated the impact of events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2011 through the date the consolidated financial statements were filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined none of these events were required to be recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes.
