Part I

Item 1: Business

Effective July 1, 2004, Bank One Corporation (“Bank One”) merged with and into JPMorgan Chase & Co. (the “Merger”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 14, 2004. As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Bank One was converted in a stock-for-stock exchange into 1.32 shares of common stock of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase” orthe “Firm”). The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price to complete the Merger was $58.5 billion.

Bank One’s results of operations were included in the Firm’s results beginning July 1, 2004. Therefore, the results of operations for the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, reflect six months of operations of the combined Firm and six months of heritage JPMorgan Chase; the results of operations for all other periodsprior to 2004 reflect only the operations of heritage JPMorgan Chase.




Overview

JPMorgan Chase is a financial holding company incorporated under Delaware law in 1968. JPMorgan Chase is one of the largest banking institutions in the United States, with $1.2 trillion in assets, $106$107 billion in stockholders’ equity and operations in more than 50 countries.

worldwide.

JPMorgan Chase’s principal bank subsidiaries are JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), a national banking association with branches in 17 states, and Chase Bank USA, National Association (“Chase USA”), a national banking association that is the Firm’s credit card-issuing bank. JPMorgan Chase’s principal nonbank subsidiary is J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMSI”), its U.S. investment banking firm. The bank and nonbank subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase operate nationally as well as through overseas branches and subsidiaries, representative offices and affiliatedsubsidiary foreign banks.

The Firm’s website is www.jpmorganchase.com. JPMorgan Chase makes available free of charge, through its website, annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as soon as reasonably practicable after it electronically files such material with, or furnishes such material to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Firm has adopted, and posted on its website, a Code of Ethics for its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and other senior financial officers.

Business segments

JPMorgan Chase’s activities are organized, for management reporting purposes, into six business segments (Investment Bank, Retail Financial Services, Card Services, Commercial Banking, Treasury & Securities Services and Asset & Wealth Management) and Corporate, which includes its Private Equity and Treasury businesses, as well as corporate support functions. A description of the Firm’s business segments and the products and services they provide to their respective client bases is provided in the “Business segment results” section of Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”), beginning on page 28,34, and in Note 31 on page 126.130.
Competition

Competition

JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries and affiliates operate in a highly competitive environment. Competitors include other banks, brokerage firms, investment banking companies, merchant banks, insurance companies, mutual fund companies, credit card companies, mortgage banking

companies, hedge funds, trust companies, automobile financing companies, leasing companies,

e-commerce and other Internet-based companies, and a variety of other financial services and advisory companies. JPMorgan Chase’s businesses compete with these other firms with respect to the quality and range of products and services offered and the types of clients, customers, industries and geographies served. With respect to some of its geographies and products, JPMorgan Chase competes globally; with respect to others, the Firm competes on a regional basis. JPMorgan Chase’s ability to compete effectively depends onupon the relative performance of its products, the degree to which the features of its products appeal to customers, and the extent to which the Firm is able to meet its clients’ objectives or needs. The Firm’s ability to compete also depends onupon its ability to attract and retain its professional and other personnel, and on its reputation.

The financial services industry has experienced consolidation and convergence in recent years, as financial institutions involved in a broad range of financial products and services have merged. This convergence trend is expected to continue, as demonstrated by the merger of JPMorgan Chase and Bank One Corporation on July 1, 2004.continue. Consolidation could result in competitors of JPMorgan Chase gaining greater capital and other resources, such as a broader range of products and services and geographic diversity. It is possible that competition will become even more intense as the Firm continues to compete with other financial institutions that may be larger or better capitalized, or that may have a stronger local presence in certain geographies. For a discussion of certain risks relating to the Firm’s competitive environment, see the Risk factors on page 4.

Supervision and regulation

Permissible business activities:The Firm is subject to regulation under state and federal law, including the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”).

Under JPMorgan Chase elected to become a financial holding company as of March 13, 2000 pursuant to the provisions of the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”), bank holding companies meeting certain eligibility criteria may elect to become “financial holding companies,” which may engage in activities that have been approved.

Under regulations implemented by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) and the United States Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury Department”). JPMorgan Chase elected to become a financial holding company as of March 13, 2000.

Under regulations implemented by the Federal Reserve Board,, if any depository institution controlled by a financial holding company ceases to meet certain capital or management standards, the Federal Reserve Board may impose corrective capital and/or managerial requirements on the financial holding company and place limitations on its ability to conduct the broader financial activities permissible for financial holding companies. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board may require divestiture of the holding company’s depository institutions if the deficiencies

persist. The regulations also provide that if any depository institution controlled by a financial holding company fails to maintain a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”), the Federal Reserve Board must prohibit the financial holding company and its subsidiaries from engaging in any additional activities other than those

Part I

permissible for bank holding companies that are not financial holding companies. At December 31, 2004,2005, the depository-institution subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase met the capital, management and CRA requirements necessary to permit the Firm to conduct the broader activities permitted under GLBA. However, there can be no assurance that this will continue to be the case in the future.

Regulation by Federal Reserve Board under GLBA:Under GLBA’s system of “functional regulation,” the Federal Reserve Board acts as an “umbrella regulator,” and certain of JPMorgan Chase’s subsidiaries are regulated directly by additional authorities based onupon the particular activities of those subsidiaries (e.g., the lead bank issubsidiaries. JPMorgan Chase Bank and Chase USA are regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”),. The Firm’s securities and investment advisory activities are regulated by the SEC, and insurance activities are regulated by state insurance commissioners).

commissioners.

Dividend restrictions:Federal law imposes limitations on the payment of dividends by the subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase that are national banks. Nonbank subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase are not subject to those limitations. The amount of dividends that may be paid by national banks, such as JPMorgan Chase Bank and Chase USA, is limited to the lesser of the amounts calculated under a “recent earnings” test and an “undivided profits” test. Under the recent earnings test, a dividend may not be paid if the total of all dividends declared by a bank in any calendar year is in excess of the current year’s net income combined with the retained net income of the two preceding years, unless the national bank obtains the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.OCC. Under the undivided profits test, a dividend may not be paid in excess of a bank’s “undivided profits.” See Note 23 on page 116121 for the amount of dividends that the Firm’s principal bank subsidiaries could pay, at January 1, 20052006 and 2004,2005, to their respective bank holding companies without the approval of the relevanttheir banking regulators.

In addition to the dividend restrictions described above, the Comptroller of the Currency,OCC, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) have authority to prohibit or to limit the payment of dividends by the banking organizations they supervise, including JPMorgan Chase and its bank and bank holding company subsidiaries, if, in the banking regulator’s opinion, payment of a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice in light of the financial condition of the banking organization.

Capital requirements:Federal banking regulators have adopted risk-based capital and leverage guidelines that require the Firm’s capital-to-assets ratios to meet certain minimum standards.

The risk-based capital ratio is determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet financial instruments into four weighted categories, with higher levels of capital being required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk. Under the guidelines, capital is divided into two tiers: Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. The amount of Tier 2 capital may not exceed the amount of Tier 1 capital. Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Under the guidelines, banking organizations are required to maintain a Total capital ratio (total capital to risk-weighted assets) of 8% and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 4%.

Tier 1 components:Capital surplus, and common stock remain the most important forms of capital at JPMorgan Chase. Because common equity has no maturity date, and because dividends on common stock are paid only

when and if declared by the Board of Directors, common equity is available to absorb losses over long periods of time. Noncumulative perpetual preferred stock is similar to common stock in its ability to absorb losses. If the Board of Directors does not declare a dividend on noncumulative perpetual preferred stock in any dividend period,are the holdersmost basic components of the instrument are never entitled to receive that dividend payment. JPMorgan Chase’s outstanding noncumulative perpetual preferred stock is a type commonly referenced as a “FRAP”: a fixed-rate/ adjustable preferred stock. Because the interest rate on FRAPs may increase (up to a predetermined ceiling), theTier 1 capital. The Federal Reserve Board treats the Firm’s noncumulative FRAPs in a manner similar to cumulative perpetual preferred securities. The Federal Reserve Boardalso permits cumulative perpetual preferred securities to be included in Tier 1 capital but only up to certain limits, as these financial instruments do not provide as strong protection against losses as common equity and noncumulative, non-FRAP securities. Cumulative perpetual preferred stock does not have a maturity date, similar to other forms of Tier 1 capital. However, any dividends not declared on cumulative perpetual preferred stock accumulate and thus continue to be due to the holder of the instrument until all arrearages are satisfied.limits. On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule, which became effective April 11, 2005, that continues the inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, subject to

stricter quantitative limits.limits and revised qualitative standards, and broadens the definition of restricted core capital elements. The rule provides for a five-year transition period. The FirmAs an internationally active bank holding company, JPMorgan Chase is currently assessingsubject to the impactrule’s limitation on restricted core capital elements, including trust preferred securities, to 15% of total core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. At December 31, 2005, JPMorgan Chase’s restricted core capital elements were 16.5% of total core capital elements. JPMorgan Chase expects to be in compliance with the final rule. The effective date of15% limit by the final rule is dependent on the date of publication in the Federal Register.March 31, 2009, implementation date. Trust preferred securities are generally issued by a special-purpose trust established and owned by JPMorgan Chase. Proceeds from the issuance to the public of the trust preferred securitysecurities are lent to the Firm for at least 30 (but not more than 50) years. The intercompany note that evidences this loan provides that the interest payments by JPMorgan Chase on the note may be deferred for up to five years. During the period of any such deferral, no payments of dividends may be made on any outstanding JPMorgan Chase preferred or common stock or on the outstanding trust preferred securities issued to the public. During 2003,As a result of the Firm implementedFirm’s implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities(“FIN 46”), which addresses the consolidation rules to be applied to entities defined in FIN 46 as “variable interest entities.” Prior to FIN 46, trusts that issued trust preferred securities were consolidated subsidiaries of their respective parents. As a result of FIN 46, JPMorgan Chase is no longer permitted todoes not consolidate these trusts.trusts on its balance sheet.
Tier 2 components:Long-term subordinated debt (generally having an original maturity of 10-1210–12 years) is the primary form of JPMorgan Chase’s Tier 2 capital. Subordinated debt is deemed a form of regulatory capital, because payments on the debt are subordinated to other creditors of JPMorgan Chase, including holders of senior and medium long-term debt and counterparties on derivative contracts.

The federal banking regulators also have also established minimum leverage ratio guidelines. The leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets (net of the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and certain intangible assets). The minimum leverage ratio is 3% for bank holding companies that are considered “strong” under Federal Reserve Board guidelines or which have implemented the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital measure for market risk. Other bank holding companies must have a minimum leverage ratio of 4%. Bank holding companies may be expected to maintain ratios well above the minimum levels, depending upon their particular condition, risk profile and growth plans.

The risk-based capital requirements explicitly identify concentrations of credit risk, certain risks arising from non-traditional banking activities, and the management of those risks as important factors to consider in assessing an institution’s overall capital adequacy. Other factors taken into consideration by federal regulators include: interest rate exposure; liquidity, funding and market risk; the quality and level of earnings; the quality of loans and investments; the effectiveness of loan and investment policies; and management’s overall ability to monitor and control financial and operational risks, including the risks presented by concentrations of credit and non-traditional banking activities. In addition, the risk-based capital rules incorporate a measure for market risk in foreign exchange and commodity activities and in the trading of debt and equity instruments. The market risk-based capital rules require banking organizations with large trading activities (such as JPMorgan Chase) to maintain capital for market risk in an amount calculated by using the banking organizations’ own internal Value-at-Risk models (subject to parameters set by the regulators).

The minimum risk-based capital requirements adopted by the federal banking agencies follow the Capital Accord of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The Basel Committee has proposed a revision to the Accord (“Basel II”). JPMorgan Chase is actively pursuing implementationU.S. banking regulators are in the process of incorporating the Basel II frameworkFramework into the existing risk-based capital requirements.

JPMorgan Chase will be required to implement advanced measurement techniques in accordance with the criteria of the U.S. banking regulators, which will require JPMorgan Chase to use “advanced measurement techniques,”by employing its internal estimates of certain key risk drivers to derive capital requirements. ImplementationPrior to implementation of the new Basel II byFramework, JPMorgan Chase will be required to demonstrate to its U.S. regulators is expected as of January 1, 2008,bank supervisors that internal criteria meet the relevant supervisory standards. JPMorgan Chase expects to be in compliance within the established timelines with certain transitional implementation arrangements.

all relevant Basel II rules.

FDICIA:The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) provides a framework for regulation of depository institutions and their affiliates, including parent holding companies, by their federal banking regulators; among other things, it requires the relevant federal banking regulator to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to a depository institution if that institution does not meet certain capital adequacy standards.

Supervisory actions by the appropriate federal banking regulator under the “prompt corrective action” rules generally depend upon an institution’s classification within five capital categories. The regulations apply only to banks and not to bank holding companies such as JPMorgan Chase; however, subject to limitations that may be imposed pursuant to GLBA, as described below, the Federal Reserve Board is authorized to take appropriate action at the holding company level, based onupon the undercapitalized status of the holding company’s subsidiary banking institutions. In certain instances relating to an undercapitalized banking institution, the bank holding company would be required to guarantee the performance of the undercapitalized subsidiary and might be liable for civil money damages for failure to fulfill its commitments on that guarantee.

As of December 31, 2004, the Firm and its primary banking subsidiaries were “well-capitalized.”

FDIC Insurance Assessments:FDICIA also requires the FDIC to establish a risk-based assessment system for FDIC deposit insurance. Under the FDIC’s risk-based insurance premium assessment system, each depository institution is assigned to one of nine risk classifications based upon certain capital and supervisory measures and, depending upon its classification, is assessed insurance premiums on its deposits.

In February 2006, a bill intended to reform the deposit insurance system was enacted. This law will generally not be effective until the FDIC issues final regulations implementing the new law. It is not possible to fully assess the impact of the law until such final regulations are promulgated.

Powers of the FDIC upon insolvency of an insured depository institution:An FDIC-insured depository institution can be held liable for any loss incurred or expected to be incurred by the FDIC in connection with another FDIC-insured institution under common control, with such institution being “in default” or “in danger of default” (commonly referred to as “cross-guarantee” liability). An FDIC cross-guarantee claim against a depository institution is generally superior in right of payment to claims of the holding company and its affiliates against such depository institution.

If the FDIC is appointed the conservator or receiver of an insured depository institution upon its insolvency or in certain other events, the FDIC has the power: (1) to transfer any of the depository institution’s assets and liabilities to a new obligor without the approval of the depository institution’s creditors; (2) to enforce the terms of the depository institution’s contracts pursuant to their terms; or (3) to repudiate or disaffirm any contract or lease to which the depository institution is a party, the performance of which is determined by the FDIC to be burdensome and the disaffirmation or repudiation of which is determined by the FDIC to promote the orderly administration of the depository institution. The above provisions would be applicable to obligations and liabilities of those of JPMorgan Chase’s subsidiaries that are insured depository
institutions, such as JPMorgan Chase Bank and Chase USA, including, without limitation, obligations under senior or subordinated debt issued by those banks to investors (referenced below as “public noteholders”) in the public markets.

Under federal law, the claims of a receiver of an insured depository institution for administrative expenses and the claims of holders of U.S. deposit liabilities (including the FDIC, as subrogee of the depositors) have priority over the claims of other unsecured creditors of the institution, including public noteholders,note-holders, in the event of the liquidation or other resolution of the institution. As a result, whether or not the FDIC would ever seek to repudiate any obligations held by public noteholders of any subsidiary of the Firm that is an insured depository institution, such as JPMorgan Chase Bank or Chase USA, the public noteholders would be treated differently from, and could receive, if anything, substantially less than the depositors of the depository institution.

The USA PATRIOT Act:On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed into law The USA PATRIOTPatriot Act of 2001 (the “Act”(“Patriot Act”).

The Act substantially broadens existing anti-money laundering legislation and the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the United States; imposes new compliance and due diligence obligations; creates new crimes and penalties; compels the production of documents located both inside and outside the United States, including those of non-U.S. institutions that have a correspondent relationship in the United States; and clarifies the safe harbor from civil liability to customers. The Act mandatesUnited States Department of the U.S. Treasury Department to issuehas issued a number of regulations tothat further clarify the Patriot Act’s requirements or provide more specific guidance on their application.

The Patriot Act requires all “financial institutions,” as defined, to establish certain anti-money laundering compliance and due diligence programs. The Act requires financial institutions that maintain correspondent accounts for non-U.S. institutions, or persons that are involved in private banking for “non-United States persons” or their representatives, to establish, “appropriate, specific and, where necessary, enhanced due diligence policies, procedures, and controls that are reasonably designed to detect and report instances of money laundering through those accounts.”



3


Part I

JPMorgan Chase believes its programs satisfy the requirements of the Patriot Act. Bank regulators are focusing their examinations on anti-money laundering compliance, and JPMorgan Chase continues to enhance its anti-money laundering compliance programs.

Other supervision and regulation:Under current Federal Reserve Board policy, JPMorgan Chase is expected to act as a source of financial strength to its bank subsidiaries and to commit resources to support the bank subsidiaries in circumstances where it might not do so absent such policy. However, because GLBA provides for functional regulation of financial holding company activities by various regulators, GLBA prohibits the Federal Reserve Board from requiring payment by a holding company or subsidiary to a depository institution if the functional regulator of the payor objects to such payment. In such a case, the Federal Reserve Board could instead require the divestiture of the depository institution and impose operating restrictions pending the divestiture.

Any loans by a bank holding company to any of its subsidiary banks are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and certain other indebtedness of the subsidiary banks. In the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank at a certain level would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

Part I

The bank subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase are subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on extensions of credit to, and certain other transactions with, the Firm and certain other affiliates, and on investments in stock or securities of JPMorgan Chase and those affiliates. These restrictions prevent JPMorgan Chase and other affiliates from borrowing from a bank subsidiary unless the loans are secured in specified amounts.

The Firm’s bank and certain of its nonbank subsidiaries are subject to direct supervision and regulation by various other federal and state authorities (some of which are considered “functional regulators” under GLBA). JPMorgan Chase’s national bank subsidiaries, such as JPMorgan Chase Bank and Chase USA, are subject to supervision and regulation by the OCC and, in certain matters, by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC. Supervision and regulation by the responsible regulatory agency generally includes comprehensive annual reviews of all major aspects of the relevant bank’s business and condition, as well as the imposition of periodic reporting requirements and limitations on investments and other powers. The Firm also conducts securities underwriting, dealing and brokerage activities through JPMSI and other broker-dealer subsidiaries, all of which are subject to the regulations of the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”). JPMSI is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The operations of JPMorgan Chase’s mutual funds also are subject to regulation by the SEC. The types of activities in which the non-U.S. branches of JPMorgan Chase Bank and the international subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase may engage are subject to various restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Board. Those non-U.S. branches and international subsidiaries also are subject to the laws and regulatory authorities of the countries in which they operate.

The activities of JPMorgan Chase Bank and Chase USA as consumer lenders also are subject to regulation under various federal laws, including the Truth-in-Lending, the Equal Credit Opportunity, the Fair Credit Reporting, the Fair Debt Collection Practice and the Electronic Funds Transfer acts, as well as various state laws. These statutes impose

requirements on the making, enforcement and collection of consumer loans and on the types of disclosures that need to be made in connection with such loans.

In addition, under the requirements imposed by GLBA, JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries are required periodically to disclose to their retail customers the Firm’s policies and practices with respect to (1) the sharing of non-public customer information with JPMorgan Chase affiliates and others; and (2) the confidentiality and security of that information. Under GLBA, retail customers also must be given the opportunity to “opt out” of information-sharing arrangements with non-affiliates, subject to certain exceptions set forth in GLBA.

Firm.

Merger of JPMorgan Chase and Bank One.There are significant risks and uncertainties associated with the Firm’s merger with Bank One. For example, JPMorgan Chase may fail to realize the growth opportunities and cost savings anticipated to be derived from the merger. In addition, it is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of

key employees, or that the disruption of ongoing business from the Merger could adversely affect JPMorgan Chase’s ability to maintain relationships with clients or suppliers.

Business conditions and general economy.The profitabilityresults of JPMorgan Chase’s businessesoperations could be adversely affected by generalU.S. and international markets and economic conditions.
The Firm’s businesses are affected by conditions in the United States or abroad. In 2004global financial markets and economic conditions generally both in the U.S. and global economies continued to strengthen overall. While the outlook for the Firm for 2005 continues to be cautiously optimistic, there can be no assurances that the economic recovery that began in 2003 will continue throughout 2005.

internationally. Factors such as the liquidity of the global financial markets,markets; the level and volatility of equity prices andprices; interest rates and commodities prices; investor sentiment, inflation,sentiment; inflation; and the availability and cost of credit couldcan significantly affect the activity level of clients with respect to size, number and timing of transactions involving the Firm’s investment banking business, including its underwriting and advisory businesses. These factors also may affect the realization of cash returns from the Firm’s private equity business. A recurrence of a market downturn would likely lead to a decline in the volume of transactions that the Firm executes for its customers and, therefore, lead to a decline in the revenues it receives from trading commissions and spreads. In addition, lower market volatility will reduce trading and arbitrage opportunities, which could lead to lower trading revenues. Higher interest rates or continued weakness in the marketmarkets also could adversely affect the number or size of underwritings the Firm manages on behalf of clients and affect the willingness of financial sponsors or investors to participate in loan syndications or underwritings managed by JPMorgan Chase.

The Firm generally maintains large trading portfolios in the fixed income, currency, commodity and equity markets and has significant investment positions, including merchant banking investments held by its private equity business. The revenues derived from mark-to-market values of the Firm’s business are affected by many factors, including its credit standing; its success in proprietary positioning; volatility in interest rates and in equity and debt markets; and theother economic political and business factors described below.factors. JPMorgan Chase anticipates that these revenues relating to its trading will fluctuate over time.

experience volatility and there can be no assurance that such volatility relating to the above factors or other conditions could not materially adversely affect the Firm’s earnings.

The fees JPMorgan Chase earns for managing third-party assets are also dependent upon general economic conditions. For example, a higher level of U.S. or non-U.S. interest rates or a downturn in trading markets could affect the valuations of the mutual fundsthird-party assets managed by the Firm, which, in turn, could affect the Firm’s revenues. Moreover, even in the absence of a market downturn, below-market performance by JPMorgan Chase’s mutual fundsinvestment management businesses could result in outflows of assets under management and supervision and, therefore, reduce the fees the Firm receives.

The credit quality of JPMorgan Chase’s on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet assets may be affected by business conditions. In a poor economic environment there is a greater likelihood that more of the Firm’s customers or counterparties could become delinquent on their loans or other obligations to JPMorgan Chase which, in turn, could result in a higher levelslevel of charge-offs and provision for credit losses, all of which would adversely affect the Firm’s earnings.

The Firm’s consumer businesses are particularly affected by domestic economic conditions includingwhich can materially adversely affect such businesses and the Firm.

Such conditions include U.S. interest rates,rates; the rate of unemployment,unemployment; the level of consumer confidence,confidence; changes in consumer spendingspending; and the number of personal bankruptcies, asamong others. Certain changes to these factors willconditions can diminish demand for businesses’ products and services, or increase the cost to provide such products and services. In addition, a deterioration in consumers’ credit quality could lead to an increase in loan delinquencies and higher net charge-offs, which could adversely affect the levelFirm’s earnings.
There is increasing competition in the financial services industry which may adversely affect JPMorgan Chase’s results of consumer loans and credit quality.

Competition.operations.
JPMorgan Chase operates in a highly competitive environment and expects various factors to cause competitive conditions to continue to intensify. The Firm expects competition to intensify as continued merger activity in the financial services industry produces larger,

better-capitalized and more geographically-diverse companies that are capable of offering a wider array of financial products and services and at more competitive prices. In addition, technological

The Firm also faces an increasing array of competitors. Competitors include other banks, brokerage firms, investment banking companies, merchant banks, insurance companies, mutual fund companies, credit card companies, mortgage banking companies, hedge funds, trust companies, automobile financing companies, leasing companies, e-commerce and other Internet-based companies, and a variety of other financial services and advisory companies. Technological advances and the growth of e-commerce have made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally were banking products, and for financial institutions and other companies to compete with technology companies in providingprovide electronic and Internet-based financial solutions.

solutions, including electronic securities trading. JPMorgan Chase’s businesses generally compete on the basis of the quality and variety of its products and services, transaction execution, innovation, technology, reputation and price. Ongoing or increased competition in any one or all of these areas may put downward pressure on prices for the Firm’s products and services or may cause the Firm to lose market share. Increased competition may also require the Firm to make additional capital investment in its businesses in order to remain competitive, which investments may increase expenses, or which may require the Firm to extend more of its capital on behalf of clients in order to execute larger, more competitive transactions. There can be no assurance that the significant and increasing competition in the financial services industry will not materially adversely affect JPMorgan Chase’s future results of operations.

Non-U.S. operations;JPMorgan Chase’s acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses may not result in all of the benefits anticipated.
The Firm has in the past and may in the future seek to grow its business by acquiring other businesses. There can be no assurance that the Firm’s acquisitions will have the anticipated positive results, including results relating to: the total cost of integration; the time required to complete the integration; the amount of longer-term cost savings; or the overall performance of the combined entity. Integration of an acquired business can be complex and costly, sometimes including combining relevant accounting and data processing systems and management controls, as well as managing relevant relationships with clients, suppliers and other business partners, as well as with employees.
There is no assurance that JPMorgan Chase’s most recent acquisitions or that any businesses acquired in the future will be successfully integrated and will result in all of the positive benefits anticipated. If JPMorgan Chase is not able to integrate successfully its past and any future acquisitions, there is the risk the Firm’s results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
JPMorgan Chase relies on its systems, employees and certain counterparties, and certain failures could materially adversely affect the Firm’s operations.
The Firm’s businesses are dependent on its ability to process a large number of increasingly complex transactions. If any of the Firm’s financial, accounting, or other data processing systems fail or have other significant shortcomings, the Firm could be materially adversely affected. The Firm is similarly dependent on its employees. The Firm could be materially adversely affected if a Firm employee causes a significant operational break-down or failure, either as a result of human error or where an individual purposefully sabotages or fraudulently manipulates the Firm’s operations or systems. Third parties with which the Firm does business could also be sources of operational risk to the Firm, including relating to break-downs or failures of such parties’ own systems or employees. Any of these occurrences could result in a diminished ability of the Firm to operate one or more of its businesses, potential liability to clients, reputational damage and regulatory intervention, which could materially adversely affect the Firm.
The Firm may also be subject to disruptions of its operating systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond its control, which may include, for example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunications outages or natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, or events arising from local or regional politics, including terrorist acts. Such disruptions may give rise to losses in service to customers and loss or liability to the Firm.
In a firm as large and complex as JPMorgan Chase, lapses or deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting are likely to occur from time to time, and there is no assurance that significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal controls may not occur in the future.
In addition there is the risk that the Firm’s controls and procedures as well as business continuity and data security systems prove to be inadequate. Any such failure could affect the Firm’s operations and could materially adversely affect its results of operations by requiring the Firm to expend significant resources to correct the defect, as well as by exposing the Firm to litigation or losses not covered by insurance.
JPMorgan Chase’s non-U.S. trading activities and operations are subject to risk of loss, particularly in non-U.S. securities.emerging markets.
The Firm does business throughout the world, including in developing regions of the world commonly known as emerging markets. In the past many emerging market countries have experienced severe economic and financial disruptions, including devaluations of their currencies and capital and currency exchange controls, as well as low or negative economic growth.
JPMorgan Chase’s businesses and revenues derived from non-U.S. operations are subject to risk of loss from various unfavorable political, economic and diplomaticlegal developments, including currency fluctuations, social instability, changes in governmental policies or policies of central banks, expropriation, nationalization, confiscation of assets and changes in legislation relating to non-U.S. ownership. JPMorgan Chase
The Firm also invests in the securities of corporations located in non-U.S. jurisdictions, including emerging markets. Revenues from the trading of non-U.S. securities also may be subject to negative fluctuations as a result of the above factors.considerations. The impact of these fluctuations could be accentuated because generally,as non-U.S. trading markets particularly(particularly in emerging market countries,markets) are usually smaller, less liquid and more volatile than U.S. trading markets.

Operational risk.JPMorgan Chase, like all large corporations, is exposed to many types of operational risk, including the risk of fraud by employees or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees or operational errors, including clerical or record-keeping errors or those resulting from faulty or disabled computer or telecommunications systems. Given the high volume of transactions at JPMorgan Chase, certain errors may be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and successfully rectified. In addition, the Firm’s necessary dependence upon automated systems to record and process its transaction volume may further increase the risk that technical system flaws or employee tampering or manipulation of those systems will result in losses that are difficult to detect. The Firm may also be subject to disruptions of its operating systems, arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond its control (including, for example, computer viruses or electrical or telecommunications outages), which may give rise to losses in service to customers and to loss or liability to the Firm. The Firm is further exposed to the risk that its external vendors may be unable to fulfill their contractual obligation to the Firm (or will be subject to the same risk of fraud or operational errors by their respective employees as is the Firm), and to the risk that the Firm’s (or its vendors’) business continuity and data security systems prove not to be sufficiently adequate. The Firm also faces the risk that the design of its controls and procedures prove inadequate or are circumvented, thereby causing delays in detection or errors in information. Although the Firm maintains a system of controls designed to keep operational risk at appropriate levels, there There can be no assurance that JPMorgan Chasethe Firm will not suffer losses from operational risks in the future that may be material in amount.

Government monetary policies and economic controls.JPMorgan Chase’s businesses and earnings are affected by general economic conditions, both domestic and international. The Firm’s businesses and earnings also are affected by the fiscalarising from its non-U.S. trading activities or other policies that are adopted by various regulatory authorities of the United States, non-U.S. governments and international agencies. For example, policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board influence, directly and indirectly, the rate of interest paid by commercial banks on their interest-bearing deposits and also

operations.

Part I

If JPMorgan Chase does not successfully handle issues that may affect the value of financial instruments held by the Firm. The actions of the Federal Reserve Board also determine to a significant degree the Firm’s cost of funds for lending and investing. The nature and impact of future changes in economic and market conditions and fiscal policies are uncertain and are beyond the Firm’s control. In addition, these policies and conditions can affect the Firm’s customers and counterparties, botharise in the United Statesconduct of its business and abroad,operations its reputation could be damaged, which may increase the risk that such customers or counterparties default on their obligations to JPMorgan Chase.

Reputational and legal risk.could in turn negatively affect its business.
The Firm’s ability to attract and retain customers and employeestransact with its counter-parties could be adversely affected to the extent its reputation is damaged. The failure of the Firm to deal, or to appear to fail to deal, with various issues that could give rise to reputational risk could cause harm to the Firm and its business prospects. These issues include, but are not limited to, appropriately dealing with potential conflicts of interest;interest, legal and regulatory requirements;requirements, ethical issues; money-laundering; privacy; record-keeping;issues, money-laundering, privacy, record-keeping, sales and trading practices;practices, and the proper identification of the legal, reputational, credit, liquidity and market risks inherent in its products. FailureThe failure to address appropriately these issues could also give risemake the Firm’s clients unwilling to do business with the Firm, which could adversely affect the Firm’s results.

JPMorgan Chase operates within a highly regulated industry and its business and results are significantly affected by the regulations to which it is subject.
JPMorgan Chase operates within a highly regulated environment. The regulations to which the Firm is subject will continue to have a significant impact on the Firm’s operations and the degree to which it can grow and be profitable.
Certain regulators to which the Firm is subject have significant power in reviewing the Firm’s operations and approving its business practices. Particularly in recent years, the Firm’s businesses have experienced increased regulation and regulatory scrutiny, often requiring additional Firm resources. In addition, as the Firm expands its international operations, its activities will become subject to an increasing range of non-U.S. laws and regulations that will likely impose new requirements and limitations on certain of the Firm’s operations. There is no assurance that any change to the current regulatory requirements to which JPMorgan Chase is subject, or the way in which such regulatory requirements are interpreted or enforced, will not have a negative affect on the Firm’s ability to conduct its business and its results of operations.
JPMorgan Chase faces significant legal riskrisks, both from regulatory investigations and proceedings and from private actions brought against the Firm.
JPMorgan Chase is named as a defendant in various legal actions, including class actions and other litigation or disputes with third parties, as well as investigations or proceedings brought by regulatory agencies. These or other future actions brought against the Firm may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other results adverse to the Firm which in turn, could increasematerially adversely affect the size and numberFirm’s business, financial condition or results of litigation claims and damages asserted against the Firmoperation, or subject the Firm to enforcement actions, fines and penalties.

Credit, market, liquidity and private equity risk.JPMorgan Chase’s revenues also are dependent upon the extent to which management can successfully achieve its business strategies within a disciplined risk environment. JPMorgan Chase’s ability to growattract and retain qualified employees is critical to the success of its business and failure to do so may materially adversely affect its performance.
The Firm’s employees are its most important resource and, in many areas of the financial services industry, competition for qualified personnel is intense. If JPMorgan Chase is unable to continue to retain and attract qualified employees, its performance, including its competitive position, could be materially adversely affected.
Government monetary policies and economic controls may have a significant adverse affect on JPMorgan Chase’s businesses isand results of operations.
The Firm’s businesses and earnings are affected by pricingthe fiscal or other policies that are adopted by various regulatory authorities of the United States, non-U.S. governments and competitive pressures, as well asinternational agencies. For example, policies and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board influence, directly and indirectly, the rate of interest paid by commercial banks on their interest-bearing deposits and also may affect the value of financial instruments held by the costs associated with the introduction of new products and services and the expansion and development of new distribution channels. To the extent anyFirm. The actions of the instrumentsFederal Reserve Board also determine to a significant degree the Firm’s cost of funds for lending and investing. In addition, these policies and conditions can adversely affect the Firm’s customers and counterparties, both in the United States and abroad, which may increase the risk that such customers or counterparties default on their obligations to JPMorgan Chase.
JPMorgan Chase’s framework for managing its risks may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss to the Firm.
JPMorgan Chase’s risk management framework is made up of various processes and strategies to manage the Firm’s risk exposure. Types of risk to which the Firm uses to hedge or otherwise manage its exposure tois subject include liquidity risk, credit risk, market creditrisk, interest rate risk, operational risk, legal and reputation risk, fiduciary risk and private equity risk, are notamong others. There can be no assurance that the Firm’s framework to manage risk, including such framework’s underlying assumptions, will be effective under all conditions and circumstances. If the Firm’s risk management framework proves ineffective, the Firm maycould suffer unexpected losses and could be materially adversely affected.
If JPMorgan Chase does not effectively manage its liquidity, its business could be able to mitigate effectively its risk exposures in particular market environments or against particular types of risk. negatively impacted.
The Firm’s balance sheet growth will be dependent upon the economic conditions described above, as well as on its determinationliquidity is critical to securitize, sell, purchase or syndicate particular loans or loan portfolios. The Firm’s trading revenues and interest rate risk are dependent upon its ability to identify properly,operate its businesses, grow and markbe profitable. A compromise to market, changesthe Firm’s liquidity could therefore have a negative effect on the Firm. Potential conditions that could negatively affect the Firm’s liquidity include diminished access to capital markets, unforeseen cash or capital requirements and an inability to sell assets.
The Firm’s credit ratings are an important part of maintaining its liquidity, as a reduction in the valueFirm’s credit ratings would also negatively affect the Firm’s liquidity. A credit ratings downgrade, depending on its severity, could potentially increase borrowing costs, limit access to capital markets, require cash payments or collateral posting, and permit termination of certain contracts material to the Firm.
Future events may be different than those anticipated by JPMorgan Chase’s management assumptions and estimates, which may cause unexpected losses in the future.
Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, the Firm is required to use certain estimates in preparing its financial instruments caused by changes in market prices or rates. The Firm’s earnings will also be dependent upon how effectively its criticalstatements, including accounting estimates including those used in its private equity valuations, prove accurateto determine loan loss reserves, reserves related to future litigation, and upon how effectively it determines and assesses the cost of credit and manages its risk concentrations. To the extent its assessments of migrations in credit quality and of risk concentrations, or its assumptions or estimates used in establishing valuation models for the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, oramong other items. Should the Firm’s determined values for loan loss reserves,such items prove substantially inaccurate or not predictive of actual results, the Firm may experience unexpected losses which could suffer higher-than-anticipated losses. The successful management of credit, market, operational and private equity risk is an important consideration in managing the Firm’s liquidity risk, as evaluation by rating agencies of the management of these risks affects their determinations as to the Firm’s credit ratings and, therefore, its cost of funds.

Item 3: Legal proceedings

Enron litigation.JPMorgan Chase isand certain of its officers and directors are involved in a number of lawsuits and investigations arising out of its banking relationships with Enron Corp. and its subsidiaries (“Enron”). A lawsuit in London bySeveral actions and other proceedings, against the Firm, against Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale (“WLB”) sought to compel payment of $165 million under an Enron-related letter of credit issuedhave been resolved, including adversary proceedings brought by WLB. WLB resisted payment on the grounds that the underlying pre-pay transaction, and its predecessors, were “disguised loans” and part of a

“fraudulent scheme to hide Enron’s debt.” The trial of that action was conducted in June and July 2004, and on August 3, 2004, the Court issued its decision in favor of JPMorgan Chase, finding thatbankruptcy estate. In addition, as previously reported, the Firm did not commit fraud and ordering WLBhas reached an agreement to paysettle the letter of credit in full. That order has become final.

These lawsuits include a series of purportedlead class actionsaction litigation brought on behalf of shareholdersthe purchasers of Enron including the lead actionsecurities, captionedNewby v. Enron Corp., for $2.2 billion (pretax). The consolidated complaintsettlement is subject to approval by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. TheNewbysettlement does not resolve Enron-related actions filed separately by plaintiffs who opt out of the class action, or by certain plaintiffs who are asserting claims not covered by that action.

The remaining Enron-related actions include individual actions against the Firm by plaintiffs who were lenders or claim to be successors-in-interest to lenders who participated in Newby names asEnron credit facilities syndicated by the Firm; individual and putative class actions by Enron investors, creditors and counterparties; and third-party actions brought by defendants among others, JPMorgan Chase; several other investment banking firms; a number ofin Enron-related cases, alleging federal and state law firms; Enron’s former accountants and affiliated entities and individuals; and other individual defendants, including present and former officers and directors of Enron.

Plaintiffs in two of the other defendants under federal and state securities laws. TheNewby trial is scheduled to commence in October 2006.

Additional actions include:bank lender cases have moved for partial summary judgment, which the Firm will oppose.

In a purported, consolidated class action lawsuit by JPMorgan Chase stockholders alleging that the Firm issued false and misleading press releases and other public documents relating to Enron in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder;thereunder, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed the lawsuit in its entirety without prejudice in March 2005. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in May 2005. The Firm has moved to dismiss the amended complaint, and the motion has been submitted to the court for decision.
In a putative class actionsaction on behalf of JPMorgan Chase employees who participated in the Firm’s employee stock ownership plans401(k) plan are alleging claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and negligence by JPMorgan Chase, its directors and named officers; shareholder derivative actions alleging breaches of fiduciary duties and alleged failures to exercise due care and diligence byofficers.

WorldCom litigation.J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMSI”) and JPMorgan Chase were named as defendants in more than 50 actions that were filed in U.S. District Courts, in state courts in more than 20 states, and in one arbitral panel beginning in July 2002, arising out of alleged accounting irregularities in the books and records of WorldCom Inc. Plaintiffs in these actions are individual and institutional investors, including state pension funds, who purchased debt securities issued by WorldCom pursuant to public offerings in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2001. JPMSI acted as an underwriter of the 1998, 2000 and 2001 offerings. In addition to JPMSI, JPMorgan Chase and, in two actions, J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. (“JPMSL”), in its capacity as one of the underwriters of the international tranche of the 2001 offering, the defendants in various of the actions include other underwriters, certain executives and directors of WorldCom, and WorldCom’s auditors. In the actions, plaintiffs allege that defendants knew, or were reckless or negligent in not knowing, that the securities were sold to plaintiffs on the basis of misrepresentations and omissions of material facts concerning the financial condition and business of WorldCom. The complaints against JPMorgan Chase, JPMSI and JPMSL assert claims under federal and state securities laws, under other state statutes and

under common-law theories of fraud and negligent misrepresentation. In the class action pending in the U.S.United States District Court for the Southern District of New York denied plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and ordered some of plaintiffs’ claims dismissed. A petition has been filed by the plaintiffs seeking review of the denial of class certification in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which involves claims on approximately $15 billion of Worldcom bonds, the court deniedpetition remains pending. The Firm has also moved for summary judgment with respect to the alleged financial misrepresentation and certain alleged omissions claims, and trial is presently scheduled to commence in late March 2005.

Commercial Financial Services litigation.JPMSI (formerly known as Chase Securities Inc.) has been named as a defendant in several actions that were filed in or transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern Districtseeking dismissal of Oklahoma in 1999, arising from the failure of Commercial Financial Services, Inc. (“CFS”). Plaintiffs in these actions are institutional investors who purchased approximately $1.3 billion (original face amount) of asset-backed securities issued by CFS. The securities were backed by charged-off credit card receivables. In addition to JPMSI, the defendants in various of the actions are the founders and key executives of CFS, as well as its auditors and outside counsel. JPMSI is alleged to have been the investment banker to CFS and to have acted as an initial purchaser and placement agent in connection with the issuance of certain of the securities. Plaintiffs allege that defendants knew, or were reckless or negligent in not knowing, that the securities were sold to plaintiffs on the basis of misleading misrepresentations and omissions of material facts. The complaints against JPMSI assert claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, under the Oklahoma Securities Act and under common-law theories of fraud and negligent misrepresentation. Plaintiffs seek damages in the amount of approximately $1.8 billion, plus punitive damages and additional interest that continues to accrue, and attorney’s fees. CFS has commenced an action against JPMSI in Oklahoma state court and has asserted claims against JPMSI for professional negligence and breach of fiduciary duty. CFS alleges that JPMSI failed to detect and prevent its insolvency. CFS seeks damages of approximately $1.3 billion. CFS also has commenced,this ERISA lawsuit in its bankruptcy case, an adversary proceeding against JPMSI and its credit card affiliate, Chase Manhattan Bank USA, N.A., alleging that certain payments, aggregating $78.4 million, made in connection with CFS’s purchase or securitization of charged-off credit card receivables were constructive fraudulent conveyances, and it seeks to recover such payments and interest. A trial date on the adversary proceeding has been set for May 2005. The federal securities actions have been set for trial in July 2005.

IPO allocation litigation.Beginning in May 2001, JPMorgan Chase and certain of its securities subsidiaries were named, along with numerous other firms in the securities industry, as defendants in a large number of putative class action lawsuits filed in the U.S.United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. These suits purport to challenge allegedallege improprieties in the allocation of stock in various public offerings, including some offerings for which a JPMorgan Chase entity served as an underwriter. The suits allege violations of securities and antitrust laws arising from alleged material misstatements and omissions in registration statements and prospectuses for the initial public offerings (“IPOs”) and alleged market manipulation with respect to aftermarket transactions in the offered securities. The securities claimslawsuits allege, among other things, misrepresentation and market manipulation of the aftermarket trading for these offerings by tying allocations of shares in IPOs to undisclosed excessive commissions paid to JPMorgan Chase and to required aftermarket purchase transactions by customers who received allocations of shares in the respective IPOs, as well as allegations of misleading analyst reports. The antitrust claimslawsuits allege an illegal conspiracy to require customers, in exchange for IPO allocations, to pay undisclosed and excessive

commissions and to make aftermarket purchases of the IPO securities at a price higher than the offering price as a precondition to receiving allocations. The securities cases were all assigned to one judge for coordinated pre-trial proceedings, and the antitrust cases were all assigned to another judge. On February 13, 2003, the Court denied the motions of JPMorgan Chase and others to dismiss the securities complaints. On October 13, 2004, the Court granted in part plaintiffs’ motion to certify classes in six “focus” cases in the securities litigation,litigation. On June 30, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit granted the underwriter defendants’ petition for permission to appeal the district court’s class certification decision, and the underwriter defendants have petitioned to appeal that decision.

In addition, on February 15, 2005, the Court in the securities cases preliminarily approved a proposed settlement of plaintiffs’ claims against 298 of the issuer defendants in these cases. cases and a fairness hearing on the proposed settlement is now scheduled for April 24, 2006. Pursuant to the proposed issuer settlement, the insurers for the settling issuer defendants, among other things, (1) agreed to guarantee that the plaintiff classes will recover at least $1 billion from the underwriter defendants in the IPO securities and antitrust

cases and to pay any shortfall, and (2) conditionally assigned to the plaintiffs any claims related to any “excess compensation” allegedly paid to the underwriters by their customers for allocations of stock in the offerings at issue in the IPO litigation. Joseph P. Lasala, the trustee designated by plaintiffs to act as assignee of such issuer excess compensation claims, filed complaints purporting to allege state law claims on behalf of certain issuers against JPMSI and other underwriters (the “LaSalaActions”), together with motions to stay proceedings in each case. To date, JPMSI is a defendant in more than half of the approximately 100 pendingLaSalaActions. On August 30, 2005, the Court stayed until resolution of the proposed issuer settlement theLaSala Actions then pending against JPMSI and other underwriter defendants at that time, as well as all future-filedLaSalaActions pursuant to the parties’ stipulation that the Court’s decision would govern stay motions in all futureLaSalaActions. On October 12, 2005, the Court granted the underwriter defendants’ motion to dismiss oneLaSalaAction, which by stipulation applied to the parallel motions to dismiss in all other pending and future-filedLaSalaActions. The Court did, however, grant Plaintiffs leave to replead and noted that the stay of theLaSalaActions remains in effect. Plaintiffs thereafter filed amended complaints in the lead and otherLaSalaActions in which Plaintiffs are purportedly seeking equitable restitution on a breach of fiduciary duty claim — a claim that sought damages in the initialLaSalacomplaints and was dismissed on the ground that it was time-barred. On November 21, 2005, the underwriter defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint in the leadLaSalaAction and — by virtue of the stipulation of the parties — thereby moved to dismiss the amended complaints in all other pending and future-filedLaSala Actions. The motion currently is being briefed.
With respect to the IPO antitrust claims,lawsuits, on November 3, 2003, the Court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss the claims relating to the IPO allocation practices in the IPO Allocation Antitrust Litigation.

Research analyst conflicts.JPMSI has been named as a co-defendant with nine other broker-dealers in a putative class action filed in federal court in Colorado, seeking an unspecified amount of money damages for alleged violations of federal securities laws related to analyst independence issues; and an action filed in West Virginia state court by West Virginia’s Attorney General, seeking recovery from the defendants in the aggregate of $5,000 for each of what are alleged to be hundreds of thousands of violations of the state’s consumer protection statute. On August 8, 2003, the plaintiffs in the Colorado action dismissed the complaint without prejudice. In West Virginia, the court denied defendants’ motion to dismiss, and defendants are pursuing an interlocutory appeal to the State Supreme court.

JPMSI was served by the SEC, NASD and NYSE on or about May 30, 2003, with subpoenas or document requests seeking information regarding certain present and former officers and employees in connection with an investigation focusing on whether particular individuals properly performed supervisory functions regarding domestic equity research. The regulators also raised issues regarding JPMSI’s document retention procedures and policies and pursued a books-and-records charge against it concerning e-mail that its heritage entities could not retrieve for the period prior to July 2001. JPMSI has negotiated an agreement that has been accepted by all of the regulators to settle this matter for a payment of a $2.1 million penalty without admitting or denying any allegations.

National Century Financial Enterprises litigation.JPMorgan Chase, JPMorgan Chase Bank, JPMorgan Partners, Beacon Group, LLC and three current or former Firm employees have been named as defendants in more than a dozen actions filed in or transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (the “MDL Litigation”). In the majority of these actions, Bank One, Bank One, N.A., and Banc One Capital Markets, Inc. are also named as defendants. JPMorgan Chase Bank and Bank One, N.A. are also defendants in an action brought by The Unencumbered Assets Trust (“UAT”), a trust created for the benefit of the creditors of National Century Financial Enterprises, Inc. (“NCFE”) as a result of NCFE’s Plan of Liquidation in bankruptcy. These actions arose out of the November 2002 bankruptcy of NCFE. Prior to bankruptcy, NCFE provided financing to various healthcare providers through wholly-owned special-purpose vehicles, including NPF VI and NPF XII, which purchased discounted accounts receivable to be paid under third-party insurance programs. NPF VI and NPF XII financed the purchases of such receivables, primarily through private placements of notes (“Notes”) to institutional investors and pledged the receivables for, among other

things, the repayment of the Notes. In the MDL Litigation, JPMorgan Chase Bank is sued in its role as indenture trustee for NPF VI, which issued

approximately $1 billion in Notes. Bank One, N.A. is sued in its role as indenture trustee for NPF XII, which issued approximately $2 billion in Notes. The three current or former Firm employees are sued in their roles as former members of NCFE’s board of directors (the “Defendant Employees”). JPMorgan Chase, JPMorgan Partners and Beacon Group, LLC, are claimed to be vicariously liable for the alleged actions of the Defendant Employees. Banc One Capital Markets, Inc. is sued in its role as co-manager for three note offerings made by NPF XII. Other defendants include the founders and key executives of NCFE, its auditors and outside counsel, and rating agencies and placement agents that were involved with the issuance of the Notes. Plaintiffs in these actions include institutional investors who purchased more than $2.7 billion in original face amount of asset-backed securities issued by NCFE. Plaintiffs allege that the trustees violated fiduciary and contractual duties, improperly permitted NCFE and its affiliates to violate the applicable indentures and violated securities laws by (among other things) failing to disclose the true nature of the NCFE arrangements. Plaintiffs further allege that the Defendant Employees controlled the Board and audit committees of the NCFE entities; were fully aware or negligent in not knowing of NCFE’s alleged manipulation of its books; and are liable for failing to disclose their purported knowledge of the alleged fraud to the plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that Banc One Capital Markets, Inc. is liable for cooperating in the sale of securities based onupon false and misleading statements. Motions to dismiss on behalf of the JPMorgan Chase entities, the Bank One entities and the Defendant Employees are currently pending. In the UAT action, JPMorgan Chase Bank and Bank One are sued in their roles as indenture trustees. Claims are asserted under the Federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”), the Ohio Corrupt Practices Act and various common-law claims. Responsive pleadings inOn March 31, 2005, motions to dismiss the UAT action have not been filed.

Mutual fund Litigation:were filed on behalf of JPMorgan Chase Bank. These motions are currently pending. On June 29, 2004, BancFebruary 22, 2006, the JPMorgan Chase entities, the Bank One Investment Advisors (“BOIA”) entered intoentities and the Defendant Employees reached a settlement with the New York Attorney Generalholders of $1.6 billion face value of Notes (the “Arizona Noteholders”), and reached a separate agreement with the SEC related to alleged market timing inUAT. The settlements are contingent upon the One Group mutual funds. Underentry of certain orders by the settlement, BOIA paid $10 million in restitutionMDL court and fee disgorgement plus a civil penalty of $40 million. BOIA alsobankruptcy courts.

The actions have been filed in or transferred to U.S. District Court in Baltimore, Maryland. Certain plaintiffs allege that BOIA and related entities and officers allowed favored investors to market time and late trade in the One Group mutual funds. These complaints include a purported class action on behalf of One Group shareholders alleging claims under federal securities laws and common law; a purported derivative suit on behalfin connection with Bank One’s role as indenture trustee for the NPF XII note program.

investigation.

Bank of America Securities, Canadian Imperial Commerce Bank, Bear Stearns and CFSB, provided financing to Canary Capital which was used to engage in the market timing and late trading. JPMorgan Chase and JPMSI are alleged to have financed knowingly the market timing and late trading by Canary Capital and Edward Stern, and knowingly to have created short-position equity baskets to allow Canary Capital to profit from trading in a falling market. On February 25, 2005, BOIA, JPMorgan Chase, JPMSI and other defendants filed motions to dismiss these actions.

Certain JPMorgan Chase subsidiaries have also received various subpoenas and information requests relating to market timing and late trading in mutual funds from various governmental and other agencies, including the SEC, the NASD, the U.S. Department of Labor, the Attorneys General of New York, West Virginia and Vermont, and regulators in the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, the Republic of Ireland, Chile and Hong Kong. The Firm is fully cooperating with these investigations.

On January 12, 2005, Bank One Securities Corporation (“BOSC”) entered into a settlement with the NASD pursuant to which BOSC was censured and agreed to pay a $400,000 fine for its alleged failure to implement adequate supervisory systems and written procedures designed to detect and prevent late trading of mutual funds, and for inaccurately recording the entry time for customer orders.

Bank One Securities Litigation.Bank One and several former officers and directors are defendants in three class actions and one individual action arising out of the mergers between Banc One Corporation (“Banc One”) and First Commerce Corporation (“First Commerce”), and Banc One Corporation and First Chicago NBD Corporation (“FCNBD”). These actions were filed in 2000 and are pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago under the general caption, In re Bank One Securities Litigation. The cases were filed after Bank One’s earnings announcements in August and November 1999 that lowered Bank One’s earnings expectations for the third and fourth quarters of 1999. Following the announcements, Bank One’s stock price had dropped by 37.7% as of November 10, 1999.

Two of these class actions were brought by representatives of FCNBD shareholders and Banc One shareholders, respectively, alleging certain misrepresentations and omissions of material fact made in connection with the merger between FCNBD and Banc One, which was completed in October 1998. There is also an individual lawsuit proceeding

in connection with that same merger. A third class action was filed by another individual plaintiff representing shareholders of First Commerce, alleging certain misrepresentations and omissions of material fact made in connection with the merger between Banc One and First Commerce, which was completed in June 1998. All of these plaintiff groups claim that as a result of various misstatements or omissions regarding payment processing issues at First USA Bank, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banc One, and as a result of the use of various accounting practices, the price of Banc One common stock was artificially inflated, causing their shareholders to acquire shares of the Bank One’s common stock in the merger at an exchange rate that was artificially deflated. The complaints against Bank One and the individual defendants assert claims under federal securities laws. Fact discovery, with limited exceptions, closed in December 2003. The parties are in the middle of expert discovery, which is scheduled to close in the spring of 2005.

In addition to the various cases, proceedings and investigations discussed above, JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in a number of other legal actions and governmental proceedings arising in connection with their respective businesses. Additional actions, investigations or proceedings may be brought from time to time in the future. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages, or where the cases present novel legal theories, involve a large number of parties or are in early stages of discovery, the Firm cannot state with confidence what the eventual outcome of these pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter may be. JPMorgan Chase believes, based upon its current

knowledge, after consultation with counsel and after taking into account its current litigation reserves, that the outcome of the legal actions, proceedings and investigations currently pending against it should not have a material, adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Firm. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such proceedings, actions and investigations, there is no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not significantly exceed the reserves currently accrued by the Firm; as a result, the outcome of a particular matter may be material to JPMorgan Chase’s operating results for a particular period, depending upon, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability imposed and the level of JPMorgan Chase’s income for that period.

Item 9A: Controls and procedures

Within

As of the 75-dayend of the period prior to the filing ofcovered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Firm’s management, including its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective. See Exhibits 31.1,

31.2 and 31.3 for the Certification statements issued by the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The work undertaken by the Firm to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 involved the identification, documentation, assessment and testing of the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting in order to evaluate the effectiveness of such controls. The evaluation included key controls of Bank One Corporation from the date of its acquisition on July 1, 2004.

The Firm is committed to maintaining high standards of internal control over financial reporting. Nevertheless, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, in a firm as large and complex as JPMorgan Chase, lapses or deficiencies in internal controls are likely to occur from time to time, and there can be no assurance that any such deficiencies will not result in significant deficiencies or even material weaknesses in internal controls in the future. See page 8285 for Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, and page 8386 for the Report of the Firm’s independent registered public accounting firm with respect to management’s assessment of internal control. There was no change in the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the fourth quarter of 20042005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting.

A new equity plan will be presented for approval by shareholders at the annual meeting in May 2005. For the new equity plan, management will not be requesting the remaining shares available for future issuance under the shareholder approved 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan — anticipated to be about 150 million shares — be made available under the new equity plan.
(c)Management has determined that there will be no grants in 2005 under either the Stock Option Plan (under which options and SARs were last awarded in 2002) and the Value Sharing Plan (6.3 million options and SARs were granted in 2004). Both of these non-shareholder approved plans will expire in May 2005. Management will not be requesting that the 54 million shares available for future issuance be carried over to the new equity plan.

Bank One’s results of operations were included in the Firm’s results beginning July 1, 2004. Therefore, the results of operations for the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, reflect six months of operations of the combined Firm and six months of heritage JPMorgan Chase; the results of operations for all other periods prior to 2004 reflect only the operations of heritage JPMorgan Chase.

It is expected that cost savings of approximately $3.0 billion (pre-tax) will be achieved by the end of 2007; approximately two-thirds of the savings are anticipated to be realized by the end of 2005. Total 2004 Merger savings were approximately $400 million. Merger costs to combine the operations of JPMorgan Chase and Bank One are expected to range from approximately $4.0 billion to $4.5 billion (pre-tax). Of these costs, approximately $1.0 billion, specifically related to Bank One, were accounted for as purchase accounting adjustments and were recorded as an increase to goodwill in 2004. Of the approximately $3.0 billion to $3.5 billion in remaining Merger-related costs, $1.4 billion (pre-tax) were incurred in 2004 and havejoint venture, Paymentech has been charged to income, $1.4 billion (pre-tax) are expected to be incurred in 2005, and the remaining costs are expected to be incurred in 2006. These estimated Merger-related charges will result from actions taken with respect to both JPMorgan Chase’s and Bank One’s operations, facilities and employees. The charges will be recorded based on the nature and timing of these integration actions.

As part of the Merger, certain accounting policies and practices were conformed, which resulted in $976 million (pre-tax) of charges in 2004. The significant components of the conformity charges were comprised of a $1.4 billion (pre-tax) charge related to the decertification of the seller’s interest in credit card securitizations, and the benefit of a $584 million reduction in the allowance for credit losses as a result of conforming the wholesale and consumer credit provision methodologies.

Key accomplishments included: launching a national advertising campaign that introduced a modernized Chase brand; the conversion of 1,400 Bank One branches, 3,400 ATMs and millions of Bank One credit cards to the Chase brand; completing the operating platform conversion in Card Services; and executing a major systems conversion in Texas that united 400 Chase and Bank One branches and over 800 ATMs under common systems and branding.

Management’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Provision for credit losses in 2005 was a benefit to earnings, mainly due to continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The increase in expense was primarily the result of higher performance-based incentive compensation due to increased revenues.
Retail Financial Services operating earnings benefited from the overall strength of the U.S. economy, which led to increased deposit, home equity and mortgage balances. In addition to the benefit from higher balances, revenues increased due to improved mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) risk management results. Expenses declined, reflecting ongoing efficiency improvements across all businesses even as investments continued in retail banking distribution and sales, with the net addition during the year of 133 branch offices, 662 ATMs and over 1,300 personal bankers. These benefits were offset partially by narrower spreads on loans due to the interest rate environment and net losses associated with loan portfolio sale activity. The provision for credit losses benefited from improved credit trends in most consumer lending portfolios and from loan portfolio sales, but was affected negatively by a special provision related to Hurricane Katrina.
Card Services operating earnings benefited from lower expenses driven by merger savings and greater efficiencies from the operating platform conversion, which resulted in lower processing and compensation costs. Revenue benefited from higher loan balances and customer charge volume resulting from marketing initiatives and increased consumer spending. Partially offsetting this growth were narrower spreads on loan balances due to an increase in accounts in their introductory rate period and higher interest rates. The managed provision for credit losses increased due to record levels of bankruptcy-related charge-offs related to the new bankruptcy legislation that became effective in October 2005 and a special provision related to Hurricane Katrina. Despite these events, underlying credit quality remained strong, with a managed net charge-off ratio of 5.21%, down from 5.27% in 2004.
Commercial Banking operating earnings benefited from wider spreads and higher volumes related to liability balances and increased loan balances. Partially offsetting these benefits were narrower loan spreads related to competitive pressures in some markets and lower deposit-related fees due to higher interest rates. The provision for credit losses increased due to a special provision related to Hurricane Katrina, increased loan balances and refinements in the data used to estimate the allowance for credit losses. However, the underlying credit quality in the portfolio was strong throughout the year, as evidenced by lower net charge-offs and nonperforming loans compared with 2004.
Treasury & Securities Services revenues benefitedoperating earnings grew significantly in 2005. Revenue growth resulted from strongbusiness growth in assets under custody and average deposits, along with depositwidening spreads which improved due to the relatively low interest rate environment for deposits. These benefits were offset by lower service charges on, deposits, which often decline when interest rates rise. Revenues and expenses also were affected by acquisitions, divestitures and growth in, business volume.liability balances, all of which benefited from global economic strength and capital market activity. Partially offsetting this growth were lower deposit-related fees due to higher interest rates. Expenses also increaseddecreased due to lower software impairment charges, partially offset by higher compensation expense resulting from new business growth, the Vastera acquisition completed in April, and legal and technology-related expenses.

results.

The Firm’s balance sheet was likewise significantly affected by the Merger. Aside from the Merger, the Firm took a number of actions during the year to strengthen the balance sheet. Notably, the Treasury investment portfolio was repositioned to reduce exposure to rising interest rates; auto leasing was de-emphasized, and lease receivables were reduced by 16% to $8 billion; the $4 billion manufactured home loan portfolio was sold; the $2 billion recreational vehicle portfolio was sold subsequent to year-end; a significant portion of third-party private equity investments have been sold; and the Firm increased its litigation reserves. The Firm’s capital base was also significantly enhanced following the Merger. As ofhad, at year-end, total stockholders’ equity was $106of $107 billion, and thea Tier 1 capital ratio was 8.7%of 8.5%. The capital position allowed the Firm to begin repurchasingpurchased $3.4 billion, or 93.5 million shares of common stock during the second halfyear.

The business outlook varies for the respective consumer businesses. Card Services anticipates modest growth in consumer spending and in card outstandings. For RFS, Home Finance earnings are likely to weaken given a market-driven decline in mortgage originations, neutralizing the expected earnings increase in Consumer & Small Business Banking. The drop in revenue at Home Finance should be mitigated by ongoing efforts to bring expensesthat managed receivables will grow in line with lower expected origination volumes.

The Corporate sectorsegment includes Private Equity, Treasury and theother corporate support units. The revenue outlook for the Private Equity business is directly related to the strength of the equity market conditions in 2005.markets and the performance of the underlying portfolio investments. If current market conditions persist, the Firm anticipates continued realization of private equity gains; the Firm is not anticipating investment securities gains in 2006, but results can be volatile from the Treasury portfolio in 2005.

The Provision for credit losses in 2005 is anticipatedquarter to be higher than in 2004, driven primarily by a return to a more normal level of provisioning for credit losses in the wholesale businesses over time. The consumer Provision for credit losses in 2005 should reflect increased balances, with generally stable credit quality. The Firm plans to implement higher minimum-payment requirements in the Card Services business in the third quarter of 2005; itquarter. It is anticipated that this will increase delinquency andTreasury net charge-off rates, but the magnitude of the impact is currently being assessed.

The Firm’s 2005 expenses should reflect the realization of $1.5 billion in merger savings. These savings are expected to be offset by a projected $1.1 billion of incremental spending related to firmwide technology infrastructure, distribution enhancement, and product improvement and expansion in Retail Financial Services, the Investment Bank and Asset & Wealth Management. In addition, expenses will increase as a result of recent acquisitions, such as Highbridge and Cazenove.

Management will seek to continue to strengthen the Firm’s balance sheet through rigorous financial and risk discipline. Any capital generated in excess of the Firm’s capital targets, and beyond that required to support anticipated modest growth in assets and the underlying risks of the Firm’s businesses, including litigation risk, will create capital flexibility in 2005 with respect to common stock repurchases and further investments in the Firm’s businesses.

Management’s discussion

income will gradually improve and analysisthat the net loss in Other Corporate will be reduced as merger savings and other expense reduction initiatives, such as less excess real estate, are realized.
JPMorgan Chase & Co.The Provision for credit losses in 2006 is anticipated to be higher than in 2005, primarily driven by a trend toward a more normal level of provisioning for credit losses in the wholesale businesses. The consumer Provision for credit losses in 2006 should reflect generally stable underlying asset quality. However, it is anticipated that the first half of 2006 will experience lower credit card net charge-offs, as the record level of bankruptcy filings in the fourth quarter of 2005 are believed to have included bankruptcy filings that would otherwise have occurred in 2006. The second half of 2006 is expected

to include increased credit card delinquencies and net charge-offs as a result of implementation of new FFIEC minimum payment rules.
Firmwide expenses are anticipated to benefit as the run rate of merger savings is expected to reach approximately $2.8 billion by the end of 2006 driven by activities such as the tri-state retail conversion and data center upgrades. Offsetting the merger savings will be continued investment in distribution enhancements and new product offerings; extensive merger integration activities and upgrading of technology; and expenses related to recent acquisitions, such as the Sears Canada credit card business and Collegiate Funding Services.

Total net revenue for 2005 was $54.5 billion, up 27% from 2004, primarily due to the Merger, which affected every revenue category. The increase from the prior year also was affected by a $1.3 billion gain on the sale of BrownCo; higher Trading revenue; and higher Asset management, administration and commissions, which benefited from several new investments and growth in
Assets under management and assets under custody. These increases were offset partly by available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities losses as a result of repositioning of the Firm’s Treasury investment portfolio. The discussions that follow highlight factors other than the Merger that affected the 2005 versus 2004 comparison.
The increase in Investment banking fees reflected continued strength in advisory, equity and debt underwriting, with particular growth in Europe, which benefited from the business partnership with Cazenove. Trading revenue increased from 2004, reflecting strength in fixed income, equities and commodities. For a further discussion of Investment banking fees and Trading revenue, which are primarily recorded in the IB, see the IB segment results on pages 36–38 of this Annual Report.
The higher Lending & deposit-related fees were driven by the Merger; absent the effects of the Merger, the deposit-related fees would have been lower due to rising interest rates. In a higher interest-rate environment, the value of deposit balances to a customer is greater, resulting in a reduction of deposit-related fees. For a further discussion of liability balances (including deposits) see the CB and TSS segment discussions on pages 47–48 and 49–50, respectively, of this Annual Report.
The increase in Asset management, administration and commissions revenue was driven by incremental fees from several new investments, including a majority interest in Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, the business partnership with Cazenove and the acquisition of Vastera. Also contributing to the higher level of revenue was an increase in Assets under management, reflecting net asset inflows, mainly in equity-related products, and global equity market appreciation. In addition, Assets under custody were up due to market value appreciation and new business. Commissions rose as a result of a higher volume of brokerage transactions. For additional information on these fees and commissions, see the segment discussions for IB on pages 36–38, AWM on pages 51–52 and TSS on pages 49–50 of this Annual Report.


JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2005 Annual Report27


Management’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The decline in Securities/private equity gains reflected $1.3 billion of securities losses, as compared with $338 million of gains in 2004. The losses resulted primarily from repositioning the Firm’s Treasury investment portfolio in response to rising interest rates. The securities losses were offset partly by higher private equity gains due to a continuation of favorable capital markets conditions. For a further discussion of Securities/private equity gains, which are recorded primarily in the Firm’s Treasury and Private Equity businesses, see the Corporate segment discussion on pages 53–54 of this Annual Report.
Mortgage fees and related income increased due to improvements in risk management results related to MSR assets. Mortgage fees and related income exclude the impact of NII and AFS securities gains related to home mortgage activities. For a discussion of Mortgage fees and related income, which is recorded primarily in RFS’s Home Finance business, see the segment discussion for RFS on pages 39–44 of this Annual Report.
Credit card income rose as a result of higher interchange income associated with the increase in charge volume. This increase was offset partially by higher volume-driven payments to partners; rewards expense; and the impact of the deconsolidation of Paymentech, which was deconsolidated upon completion of the integration of Chase Merchant Services and the Paymentech merchant processing businesses in 2005. For a further discussion of Credit card income, see CS segment results on pages 45–46 of this Annual Report.
The increase in Other income primarily reflected a $1.3 billion pre-tax gain on the sale of BrownCo to E*TRADE Financial; higher gains from loan workouts and loan sales; and higher revenues as a result of a shift from financing leases to operating leases in the auto business. These gains were offset partly by write-downs on auto loans that were transferred to held-for-sale and a one-time gain in 2004 on the sale of an investment.
Net interest income rose as a result of higher average volume of, and wider spreads on, liability balances. Also contributing to the increase was higher average volume of wholesale and consumer loans, in particular, home equity and credit card loans. These increases were offset partially by narrower spreads on consumer and wholesale loans and on trading assets, as well as reduced Treasury investment portfolio levels. The Firm’s total average interest-earning assets in 2005 were $916 billion, up 23% from the prior year. The net interest yield on these assets, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 2.19%, a decrease of six basis points from the prior year.
2004 compared with 2003

Total net revenues, at $43.1 billion, rose by $9.7 billion, or 29%, primarily due to the Merger, which affected every category of Total net revenue. Additional factors contributing to the revenue growth were higher consumer demand for credit products and higher credit card charge volume, as well as strong retail and wholesale deposit growth. Investment banking revenues increased as a result of growth in global market volumes and market share gains. Revenue also benefited from acquisitions and growth in assets under custody, under management and under supervision, the result of global equity market appreciation and net asset inflows. Private equity gains were higher due to an improved climate for investment sales. The discussion that follows highlights factors other than the Merger that affected the 2004 versus 2003 comparison.

The increase in Investment banking fees was driven by significant gains in underwriting and advisory activities as a result of increased global market volumes and market share gains. Trading revenue declined by 18%, primarily due to lower portfolio management results in fixed income and equities. For a further discussion of Investment banking fees and Trading revenue, which are primarily recorded in the IB, see the IB segment results on pages 30-32 of this Annual Report.

Lending & deposit related fees were up from 2003 due to the Merger. The rise was offset partially offset by lower service charges on deposits,deposit-related fees, as clients paid for services with deposits versus fees due to rising interest rates. Throughout 2004, deposit balances grew in response to rising interest rates.

The increase in Asset management, administration and commissions was driven also driven by the full-year impact of other acquisitions - such as EFS in January 2004, Bank One’s Corporate Trust business in November 2003 and JPMorgan

Retirement Plan Services in June 2003 - as well as the effect of global equity market appreciation, net asset inflows and a better product mix. In addition, a more active market for trading activities in 2004 resulted in higher brokerage commissions. For additional information on these fees and commissions, see the segment discussions for AWM on pages 45-46, TSS on pages 43-44 and RFS on pages 33-38 of this Annual Report.

Securities/private equity gains for 2004 rose from the prior year, primarily fueled by the improvement in the Firm’s private equity investment results. This change was offset by lower securities gains on the Treasury investment portfolio as a result of lower volumes of securities sold, and lower gains realized on sales due to higher interest rates; additionally,rates. Additionally, RFS’s Home Finance business reported losses in 2004 on available-for-sale (“AFS”)AFS securities, as compared with gains in 2003. For a further discussion of securities gains, see the RFS and Corporate segment discussions on pages 33-3839–44 and 47-48,53–54, respectively, of this Annual Report. For a further discussion of Private equity gains, which are primarily recorded in the Firm’s Private Equity business, see the Corporate segment discussion on pages 47-48 of this Annual Report.

Mortgage fees and related income rose as a result of higher servicing revenue; this improvement was offset partially offset by lower mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) assetMSR risk management results and prime mortgage production revenue, and by lower gains from sales and securitizations of subprime loans as a result of management’s decision in 2004 to retain these loans. Mortgage fees and related income excludesexclude the impact of NII and securities gains related to home mortgage activities. For a discussion of Mortgage fees and related income, which is primarily recorded in RFS’s Home Finance business, see the Home Finance discussion on pages 34-36 of this Annual Report.

Credit card income increased from 2003 as a result of higher customer charge volume, which resulted in increased interchange income, and higher credit card servicing fees associated with thean increase of $19.4 billion in average securitized loans. The increases were offset partially offset by higher volume-driven payments to partners and rewards expense. For a further discussion of Credit card income, see CS’s segment results on pages 39-40 of this Annual Report.

The increase in Other income from 2003 reflected gains on leveraged lease transactions, the sale of an investment in 2004 and higher net results from corporatecorporate- and bank-owned life insurance policies. These positive factors in 2004 were offset partially offset by gains on sales of several nonstrategic businesses and real estate properties in 2003.

Net interest income rose from 2003 as growth in volumes of consumer loans and deposits, as well as wider spreads on deposits, contributed to higher net interest income. These positive factors were offset partially offset by lower wholesale loan balances in the IB and tighter spreads on loans, investment securities and trading assets stemming from the rise in interest rates. The Firm’s total average interest-earning assets for 2004 were $744.1$744 billion, up $154.2$154 billion from 2003. Growth was also driven by higher levels of consumer loans. The net interest yield on these assets, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 2.27%2.25% in 2004, an increase of 6four basis points from the prior year.

2003 compared with 2002

Total revenue for 2003 was $33.4 billion, up 13% from 2002. All businesses benefited from improved economic conditions in 2003. In particular, the low-interest rate environment drove robust fixed income markets and an unprecedented mortgage refinancing boom, which drove the growth in revenue.

Investment banking fees increased by $127

Provision for credit losses
2005 compared with 2004
The Provision for credit losses was $3.5 billion, an increase of $939 million, or 37%, from 2004, reflecting the full-year impact of the Merger. The wholesale Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $811 million for the year compared with a benefit of $716 million in the prior year, reflecting continued strength in credit quality. The wholesale loan net recovery rate was 0.06% in 2005, an improvement from a net charge-off rate of 0.18% in the prior year. The total consumer Provision for credit losses was $4.3 billion, $1.9 billion higher than the prior year, primarily due to growththe Merger, higher bankruptcy-related net charge-offs in IB’s equity underwriting, which was up 49%, reflecting increases in market shareCard Services and underwriting volumes. This increase was partially offset by lower advisory fees reflecting depressed levels of M&A activity. Trading revenue was up $1.8 billion, or 65%, primarily due to strong client and portfolio management revenue growth in fixed income and equity marketsa $350 million special provision for Hurricane Katrina. 2004 included accounting policy conformity adjustments as a result of the low-interest rate environment, improvement in equity markets and volatilityMerger. Excluding these items, the consumer portfolio continued to show strength in credit markets. Forquality.
The Firm had total nonperforming assets of $2.6 billion at December 31, 2005, a further discussiondecline of Investment banking fees and Trading revenue, which are primarily recorded in the Investment Bank, see the IB segment results on pages 30-32 of this Annual Report.

Lending & deposit related fees rose, the result of higher fees on standby letters of credit, due to growth in transaction volume, and higher service charges on deposits. These charges were driven by an increase in the payment of services with fees, versus deposits, due to lower interest rates.

The increase in Asset management, administration and commissions was attributable to a more favorable environment for debt and equity activities, resulting in higher fees for the custody, institutional trust, brokerage and other processing-related businesses. Fees for investment management activities also increased as a result of acquisitions in AWM, but these increases were partially offset by institutional net fund outflows, which resulted in lower average assets under management.

Securities/private equity gains increased to $1.5 billion from $817$641 million, in 2002, reflecting significant improvement in private equity gains. These gains were partially offset by lower gains realizedor 20%, from the sale2004 level of securities in Treasury and of AFS securities in RFS’s Home Finance business, driven by increasing interest rates beginning in the third quarter of 2003. For a further discussion of private equity gains (losses), see the Corporate segment discussion on pages 47-48 of this Annual Report.

Mortgage fees and related income declined by 7% in 2003, primarily due to a decline in revenue associated with risk management of the MSR asset, mortgage pipeline and mortgage warehouse; these were partially offset by higher fees from origination and sales activity and other fees derived from volume and market-share growth. For a discussion of Mortgage fees and related income, which is primarily recorded in RFS’s Home Finance business, see the Home Finance discussion on pages 34-36 of this Annual Report.

Credit card income rose as a result of higher credit card servicing fees associated with the $6.7 billion growth in average securitized credit card receivables. For a further discussion of Credit card income, see CS’s segment results on pages 39-40 of this Annual Report.

Other income rose, primarily from $200 million in gains on sales of securities acquired in loan workouts (compared with $26 million in 2002), as well as gains on the sale of several nonstrategic businesses and real estate properties; these were partly offset by lower net results from corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies. In addition, 2002 included $73 million of write-downs for several Latin American investments.

The increase in Net interest income reflected the positive impact of lower interest rates on consumer loan originations, such as mortgages and automobile loans and leases and related funding costs. Net interest income was partially reduced by a lower volume of wholesale loans and lower spreads on investment securities. The Firm’s total average interest-earning assets in 2003 were $590 billion, up 6% from the prior year. The net interest yield on these assets, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 2.21%, the same as in the prior year.

Provision for credit losses

2004 compared with 2003

The Provision for credit losses of $2.5 billion was up $1.0 billion, or 65%, compared with the prior year. The impact of the Merger, and of accounting policy conformity charges of $858 million, were partially offset by releases in the allowance for credit losses related to the wholesale loan portfolio, primarily due to improved credit quality in the IB. Wholesale nonperforming loans decreased by 21% even after the inclusion of Bank One’s loan portfolio. RFS’s Provision for credit losses benefited from a reduction in the allowance for credit losses related to the sale of the $4 billion manufactured home loan portfolio and continued positive credit quality trends in the home and auto finance businesses. The provision related to the credit card portfolio grew by $919 million, principally due to the Merger.$3.2 billion. For further information about the Provision for credit losses and the Firm’s management of credit risk, see the Credit risk management discussion on pages 57-6963–74 of this Annual Report.

2005 compared with 2004
Noninterest expense was $38.8 billion, up 13% from the prior year, primarily due to the full-year impact of the Merger. Excluding Litigation reserve charges and Merger costs, Noninterest expense would have been $35.5 billion, up 21%. In addition to the Merger, expenses increased as a result of higher performance-based incentives, continued investment spending in the Firm’s businesses and incremental marketing expenses related to launching the new Chase brand, partially offset by merger-related savings and other efficiencies throughout the Firm. Each category of Noninterest expense was affected by the Merger. The discussions that follow highlight factors other than the Merger that affected the 2005 versus 2004 comparison.
Compensation expense rose as a result of higher performance-based incentives; additional headcount due to the insourcing of the Firm’s global technology infrastructure (effective December 31, 2004, when JPMorgan Chase terminated the Firm’s outsourcing agreement with IBM); the impact of several investments, including Cazenove, Highbridge and Vastera; the accelerated vesting of certain employee stock options; and business growth. The effect of the termination of the IBM outsourcing agreement was to shift expenses from Technology and communications expense to Compensation expense. The increase in Compensation expense was offset partially by merger-related savings throughout the Firm. For a detailed discussion of employee stock-based incentives, see Note 7 on pages 100–102 of this Annual Report.
The increase in Occupancy expense was primarily due to the Merger, partially offset by lower charges for excess real estate and a net release of excess property tax accruals, compared with $103 million of charges for excess real estate in 2004.
Technology and communications expense was down only slightly. This reduction reflects the offset of six months of the combined Firm’s results for 2004 against the full-year 2005 impact from termination of the JPMorgan Chase outsourcing agreement with IBM. The reduction in Technology and communications expense due to the outsourcing agreement termination is mostly offset by increases in Compensation expense related to additional headcount and investments in the Firm’s hardware and software infrastructure.
Professional and outside services were higher compared with the prior year as a result of the insourcing of the Firm’s global technology infrastructure, upgrades to the Firm’s systems and technology, and business growth. These expenses were offset partially by expense-management initiatives.
Marketing expense was higher compared with the prior year, primarily as a result of the Merger and the cost of advertising campaigns to launch the new Chase brand.
The increase in Other expense reflected incremental expenses related to investments made in 2005, as well as an increase in operating charges for legal matters. Also contributing to the increase was a $93 million charge taken by TSS to terminate a client contract and a $40 million charge taken by RFS related to the dissolution of a student loan joint venture. These items were offset partially by lower software impairment write-offs, merger-related savings and other efficiencies.
For a discussion of Amortization of intangibles and Merger costs, refer to Note 15 and Note 8 on pages 114–116 and 103, respectively, of this Annual Report.
The 2005 nonoperating Litigation reserve charges that were recorded by the Firm were as follows: a $1.9 billion charge related to the settlement of the Enron class action litigation and for certain other material legal proceedings and a $900 million charge for the settlement costs of the WorldCom class action litigation; these were partially offset by a $208 million insurance recovery related to certain material litigation. In comparison, 2004 included a $3.7 billion nonoperating charge to increase litigation reserves. For a further discussion of litigation, refer to Note 25 on page 123 of this Annual Report.

Management’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

2004 compared with 2003

Noninterest expense was $34.4 billion in 2004, up $12.5 billion, or 57%, primarily due to the Merger. Excluding $1.4 billion of Merger costs, and litigationLitigation reserve charges, Noninterest expensesexpense would have been $29.3 billion, up 35%. In addition to the Merger and litigation charges, expenses increased due to reinvestment in the lines of business, partially offset by merger-related savings throughout the Firm. Each category of Noninterest expense was affected by the Merger. The discussion that follows highlights other factors which affectedaffecting the 2004 versus 2003 comparison.

Compensation expense was up from 2003, primarily due to strategic investments in the IB and continuing expansion in RFS. These factors were offset partially offset by ongoing efficiency improvements and merger-related savings throughout the Firm, and by a reduction in pension costs. The decline in pension costs was attributable mainly attributable to the increase in the expected return on plan assets resulting from a discretionary $1.1 billion contribution to the Firm’s pension

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

plan in April 2004, partially offset by changes in actuarial assumptions for 2004 compared with 2003. For a detailed discussion of pension and other postretirement benefit costs, see Note 6 on pages 92-95 of this Annual Report.

The increase in Occupancy expense was offset partly offset by lower charges for excess real estate, which were $103 million in 2004 compared with $270 million in 2003.

Technology and communications expense was higher than in the prior year as a result of higher costs associated with greater use of outside vendors, primarily IBM, to support the global infrastructure requirements of the Firm. After the Merger, JPMorgan Chase decided to terminate its outsourcing agreement with IBM, effective December 31, 2004. For a further discussion regarding the IBM outsourcing agreement, see the Corporate segment discussion on page 4753 of this Annual Report.

Professional & outside services rose due to higher legal costs associated with pending litigation matters, as well as outside services stemming from recent acquisitions primarily EFS,Electronic Financial Services (“EFS”), and growth in business at TSS and CS.

Marketing expense rose as CS initiated a more robust marketing campaign during 2004.

Other expense was up due to software impairment write-offs of $224 million, primarily in TSS and Corporate, compared with $60 million in 2003; higher accrualsoperating charges for non-Enron-related litigation cases;legal matters; and the impact of growth in business volume. These expenses were offset partly offset by a $57 million settlement related to the Enron surety bond litigation.

For a discussion of Amortization of intangibles and Merger costs, refer to Note 15 and Note 8 on pages 109-111114–116 and 98,103, respectively.

In June of 2004, JPMorgan Chase recorded a $3.7 billion (pre-tax) addition to the Litigation reserve. While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, the addition reflected management’s assessment of the appropriate reserve level in light of all then-known information. By comparison, 2003 included a charge of $100 million for Enron-related litigation.

2003 compared with 2002

Total Noninterest expense was $21.8 billion, down 4% from the prior year. In 2002, the Firm recorded $1.3 billion of charges, principally for Enron-related litigation, and $1.2 billion for merger and restructuring costs related to programs announced prior to January 1, 2002. Excluding these costs, expenses rose by 8% in 2003, reflecting higher performance-related incentives, increased costs related to stock-based compensation and pension and other postretirement expenses; and higher occupancy expenses. The Firm began expensing stock options in 2003.

The increase in Compensation expense principally reflected higher performance-related incentives, as well as higher pension and other postretirement benefit costs, primarily as a result of changes in actuarial assumptions. The increase pertaining to incentives included $266 million as a result of adopting SFAS 123, and $120 million from the reversal in 2002 of previously accrued expenses for certain forfeitable key employee stock awards. Total compensation expenses declined as a result of the transfer, beginning April 1, 2003, of 2,800 employees to IBM in connection with the aforementioned technology outsourcing agreement.

The increase in Occupancy expense reflected costs of additional leased space in midtown Manhattan and in the South and Southwest regions of the United States, higher real estate taxes in New York City and the cost of enhanced

safety measures. Also contributing to the increase were charges for unoccupied excess real estate of $270 million; this compared with $120 million in 2002.

Technology and communications expense increased primarily due to a shift in expenses: costs that were previously associated with Compensation and Other expenses shifted, upon the commencement of the IBM outsourcing agreement, to Technology and communications expense. Also contributing to the increase were higher costs related to software amortization. For a further discussion of the IBM outsourcing agreement, see Corporate on page 47 of this Annual Report.

Professional & outside services rose, reflecting greater utilization of third-party vendors for processing activities and higher legal costs associated with various litigation and business-related matters.

Higher Marketing expense was driven by more robust campaigns for the Home Finance business.

The decrease in Other expense was due partly to expense management initiatives, such as reduced allowances to expatriates and recruitment costs.

There were no Merger costs in 2003. In 2002, merger and restructuring costs of $1.2 billion were for programs announced prior to January 1, 2002.

The Firm added $100 million to the Enron-related litigation reserve in 2003 to supplement a $1.3 billion reserve initially recorded in 2002. The 2002 reserve was established to cover Enron-related matters, as well as certain other material litigation, proceedings and investigations in which the Firm is involved.

(a) 2004 results include six months of the combined Firm’s results and six months of heritage JPMorgan Chase results. All other periods reflect2003 reflects the results of heritage JPMorgan Chase only.

2005 compared with 2004
The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of higher reported pre-tax income combined with changes in the proportion of income subject to federal, state and local taxes. Also contributing to the increase were lower 2005 nonoperating charges and a gain on the sale of BrownCo, which were taxed at marginal tax rates of 38% and 40%, respectively. These increases were offset partially by a tax benefit of $55 million recorded in connection with the repatriation of foreign earnings.
2004 compared with 2003

The reduction in the effective tax rate for 2004, as compared with 2003, was the result of various factors, including lower reported pre-tax income, a higher level of business tax credits, and changes in the proportion of income subject to federal, state and local taxes, partially offset by purchase accounting adjustments related to leveraged lease transactions. The Merger costs and accounting policy conformity adjustments recorded in 2004, and the Litigation reserve charge recorded in the second quarter of 2004, reflected a tax benefit at a 38% marginal tax rate, contributing to the reduction in the effective tax rate compared with 2003.

2003 compared with 2002

The effective tax rate decline was principally attributable to changes in the proportion of income subject to state and local taxes.



   
2430 JPMorgan Chase & Co./2004 2005 Annual Report

 


Explanation and reconciliation of the Firm’s use of non-GAAP financial measures
 

The Firm prepares its Consolidated financial statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”); these financial statements appear on pages 84-8787–90 of this Annual Report. That presentation, which is referred to as “reported basis,” provides the reader with an understanding of the Firm’s results that can be tracked consistently tracked from year to year and enables a comparison of the Firm’s performance with other companies’ U.S. GAAP financial statements.

In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management reviews line-of-businessthe Firm’s and the lines’ of business results on an “operatingoperating basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Firm’s definition of operating basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results. Operating basis excludes: (i) merger costs, (ii) the nonoperating litigation charges taken and insurance recoveries received with respect to certain of the Firm’s material litigation; and (iii) costs related to the conformance of certain accounting policies as a result of the Merger. Management believes these items are not part of the Firm’s normal daily business operations and, therefore, not indicative of trends, as they do not provide meaningful comparisons with other periods. For additional detail on nonoperating litigation charges, see the Glossary of terms on page 134 of this Annual Report.
In addition, the Firm manages its lines of business on an operating basis. In the case of the IB,Investment Bank, noninterest revenue on an operating basis noninterest revenue includes, in Tradingtrading-related revenue, net interest income related to trading activities. Trading activities generate revenues, which are recorded for U.S. GAAP purposes in two line items on the income statement: Tradingtrading revenue, which includes the mark-to-market gains or losses on trading positions,positions; and Netnet interest income, which includes the interest income or expense related to those positions. The impact of changes in market interest rates will either be recorded in Trading revenue or Net interest income depending on whether the trading position is a cash security or a derivative. Combining both the trading revenue and related net interest income enablesallows management to evaluate the IB’seconomic results of the Investment Bank’s trading activities, by considering allwhich for GAAP purposes are reported in both Trading revenue related to these activities, and Net interest income. In management’s view, this presentation also facilitates operating comparisons to other competitors. The following table reclassifies the Firm’s trading-related Net interest income to Trading revenue.

(a)2004 results include six months of the combined Firm’s results and six months of heritage JPMorgan Chase results. All other periods reflect the results of heritage JPMorgan Chase only.
(b)Reflects Trading revenue at the Firm level. The majority of Trading revenue is recorded in the Investment Bank.

In addition, segment results reflect revenues on a tax-equivalent basis. The tax-equivalent gross-up for each business segment is based upon the level, type and tax jurisdiction of the earnings and assets within each business segment. Operating revenue for the Investment Bank includes tax-equivalent adjustments for income tax credits primarily related to affordable housing investments as well as tax-exempt income from municipal bond investments. Information prior to the Merger has not been restated to conform with this new presentation. The amount of the tax-equivalent gross-up for each business segment is eliminated within the Corporate segment. For a further discussion of trading-related revenue and tax-equivalent adjustments made to operating revenue, see the IB on pages 30-3236–38 of this Annual Report.

In the case of Card Services, operating or managed basis is also referred to as “managed basis,” and excludes the impact of credit card securitizations on total net revenue, the Provisionprovision for credit losses, net charge-offs and loan receivables. This presentation is provided to facilitate operating comparisons to competitors. Through securitization, the Firm transforms a portion of its credit card receivables into securities, which are sold to investors. The credit card receivables are removed from the consolidated balance sheet through the transfer of principal credit cardthe receivables to a trust, and the sale of undivided interests to investors that entitle the investors to specific cash flows generated from the credit card receivables. The Firm retains the remaining undivided interests as seller’s interests, which are recorded in Loans on the Consolidated balance sheet.sheets. A gain or loss on the sale of credit card receivables to investors is recorded in

Other income. Securitization also affects the Firm’s consolidatedConsolidated statements of income statement by reclassifying as credit card income, interest income, certain fee revenue, and recoveries in excess of interest paid to the investors, gross credit losses and other trust expenses related to the securitized receivables.receivables are all reclassified into credit card income. For a reconciliation of reported to managed basis of Card Services results, see page 4046 of this Annual Report. For information regarding loans and residual interests sold and securitized, see Note 13 on pages 103-106108–111 of this Annual Report. JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of “managed receivables” to evaluate the credit performance and overall financial performance of the underlying credit card loans, both sold and not sold;sold: as the same borrower is continuing to use the credit card for ongoing charges, a borrower’s credit performance will affect both the loan receivables sold under SFAS 140 and those not sold. Thus, in its disclosures regarding managed loan receivables, JPMorgan Chase treats the sold receivables as if they were still on the balance sheet in order to disclose the credit performance (such as net charge-off rates) of the entire managed credit card portfolio. In addition, Card Services operations are funded, operating results are evaluated, and decisions are made about allocating resources such as employees and capital are based onupon managed financial information.

Finally, commencing with the first quarter of 2005, operating revenue (noninterest revenue and net interest income) for each of the segments and the Firm is presented on a tax-equivalent basis. Accordingly, revenue from tax exempt securities and investments that receive tax credits are presented in the operating results on a basis excludes Merger costs,comparable to taxable securities and investments. This non-GAAP financial measure allows management to assess the Litigation reserve chargecomparability of revenues arising from both taxable and accounting policy conformity adjustmentstax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to the Merger, as management believes these items are not part ofis recorded within income tax expense. The Corporate sector’s and the Firm’s normal daily business operations (and, therefore, are not indicativeoperating revenue and income tax expense for the periods prior to the first quarter of trends) and do not provide meaningful comparisons with other periods.

2005 have been restated to be similarly presented on a tax-equivalent basis. This restatement had no impact on the Corporate sector’s or the Firm’s operating earnings.

Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures at the segment level. Managementlevel because it believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance and trends of the particular business segment and facilitate a comparison of the business segment with the performance of competitors.

SpecialNonoperating Items
The reconciliation of the Firm’s reported results to operating results in the accompanying table sets forth the impact of several specialnonoperating items incurred by the Firm in 20022005 and 2004. These specialnonoperating items are excluded from Operating earnings, as management believes these items are not part of the Firm’s normal daily business operations and, therefore, are not indicative of trends andas they do not provide meaningful comparisons with other periods. These items include Merger costs, significantnonoperating litigation charges and insurance recoveries, and charges to conform accounting policies, and other items, each of which is described below:

(1)Merger costs of $722 million in 2005 and $1.4 billion in 2004 reflect costs associated with the Merger.
(2)Net nonoperating litigation charges of $2.6 billion and $3.7 billion were taken in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(3) Other income in 2004 reflects $118 million of other accounting policy conformity adjustments.
 
(2)(4) The Provision for credit losses in 2004 reflects $858 million of accounting policy conformity adjustments, consisting of a $1.4 billion charge related to the decertification of the seller’s interest in credit card securitizations, partially offset by a benefit of $584 million related to conforming wholesale and consumer credit provision methodologies for the combined Firm.
(3)Merger costs of $1.4 billion in 2004 reflect costs associated with the Merger; the $1.2 billion of charges in 2002 reflect merger

Description of business segment reporting methodology

Results of the business segments are intended to reflect each segment as if it were essentially a stand-alone business. The management reporting process that derives these results allocates income and expense using market-based methodologies. AtEffective with the time of the Merger on July 1, 2004, several of the allocation methodologies were revised, as noted below. The changes became effective July 1, 2004. As prior periods have not been revised to reflect these new methodologies, they are not comparable to the presentation of periods beginning with the third quarter of 2004. Further, the Firm intends to continuecontinues to assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting reclassifications used for segment reporting, and it is anticipated that further refinements may be implemented in future periods.

Revenue sharing

When business segments join efforts to sell products and services to the Firm’s clients, the participating business segments agree to share revenues from those transactions. These revenue sharingrevenue-sharing agreements were revised on the Merger date to provide consistency across the lines of businesses.business.

Funds transfer pricing

Funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) is used to allocate interest income and interest expense to each line of business and also serves to transfer the primary interest rate risk exposures to Corporate. WhileThe allocation process is unique to each business and considers the interest rate risk, liquidity risk and regulatory requirements of its stand-alone peers. Business segments may periodically retain certain interest rate exposures, relatedsubject to customer pricing or other business-specific risks,management approval, that would be expected in the balancenormal operation of the Firm’s overall interest rate risk exposure is included and managed in Corporate.a similar peer business. In the third quarter of 2004, FTP was revised to conform the policies of the combined firms.

Expense allocation

Where business segments use services provided by support units within the Firm, the costs of those support units are allocated to the business segments. Those expenses are allocated based onupon their actual cost, or the lower of actual cost or market cost, as well as upon usage of the services provided. Effective

with the third quarter of 2004, the cost allocation methodologies of the heritage firms were aligned to provide consistency across the business segments. In addition, expenses related to certain corporate functions, technology and operations ceased to be allocated to the business segments

and are retained in Corporate. These retained expenses include parent company costs that would not be incurred if the segments were stand-alone businesses; adjustments to align certain corporate staff, technology and operations allocations with market prices; and other one-time items not aligned with the business segments.

During 2005, the Firm refined cost allocation methodologies related to certain corporate functions, technology and operations expenses in order to improve transparency, consistency and accountability with regard to costs allocated across business segments. Prior periods have not been revised to reflect these new cost allocation methodologies.

Capital allocation

Each business segment is allocated capital by taking into consideration stand-alone peer comparisons, economic risk measures and regulatory capital requirements. The amount of capital assigned to each business is referred to as equity. Effective withAt the third quarter of 2004, new methodologies were implemented to calculate the amount of capital allocated to each segment. As parttime of the new methodology,Merger, goodwill, as well as the associated capital, iswas allocated solely to Corporate. AlthoughEffective January 2006, the Firm expects to refine its methodology for allocating capital to the business segments to include any goodwill associated with line of business-directed acquisitions since the Merger. U.S. GAAP requires the allocation of goodwill to the business segments for impairment testing (see Critical accounting estimates used by the Firm and Note 15 on page 109pages 81–83 and 114–116, respectively, of this Annual Report), the Firm has elected not to include goodwill or the related capital in each of the business segments for management reporting purposes.. See the Capital management section on page 5056 of this Annual Report for a discussion of the equity framework.

Credit reimbursement

TSS reimburses the IB for credit portfolio exposures the IB manages on behalf of clients the segments share. At the time of the Merger, the reimbursement methodology was revised to be based onupon pre-tax earnings, net of the cost of capital related to those exposures. Prior to the Merger, the credit reimbursement was based onupon pre-tax earnings, plus the allocated capital associated with the shared clients.

Tax-equivalent adjustments

Segment and Firm results reflect revenues on a tax-equivalent basis for segment reporting purposes. Refer to Explanation and reconciliation of the Firm’s non-GAAP financial measures on page 2531 of this Annual Report for additional details.

revenue was $0.2 billion, $1.9 billion and $2.1 billion for 2005, 2004 and $1.9 billion for 2004, 2003, respectively.

2005 compared with 2004
Operating earnings of $3.7 billion were up 24%, or $710 million, from the prior year. The increase was driven by the Merger, higher revenues and an increased benefit from the Provision for credit losses. These factors were partially offset by higher compensation expense. Return on equity was 18%.
Net revenue of $14.6 billion was up $2.0 billion, or 16%, over the prior year, representing the IB’s highest annual revenue since 2000, driven by strong Fixed Income and Equity Markets and Investment banking fees. Investment banking fees of $4.1 billion increased 15% from the prior year driven by strong growth in advisory fees resulting in part from the Cazenove business partnership. Advisory revenues of $1.3 billion were up 35% from the prior year, reflecting higher market volumes. Debt underwriting revenues of $2.0 billion increased by 6% driven by strong loan syndication fees. Equity underwriting fees of $864 million were up 11% from the prior year driven by improved market share. Fixed Income Markets revenue of $7.2 billion increased 15%, or $928 million, driven by stronger, although volatile, trading results across commodities, emerging markets, rate markets and currencies. Equities Markets revenues increased 21% to $1.8 billion, primarily due to increased commissions, which were offset partially by lower trading results, which also experienced a high level of volatility. Credit Portfolio revenues were $1.4 billion, up $213 million from the prior year due to higher gains from loan workouts and sales as well as higher trading revenue from credit risk management activities.
The Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $838 million compared with a benefit of $640 million in 2004. The increased benefit was due primarily to the improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and reflected net recoveries. Nonperforming assets of $645 million decreased by 46% since the end of 2004.
Noninterest expense increased 12% to $9.7 billion, largely reflecting higher performance-based incentive compensation related to growth in revenue. Noncompensation expense was up 4% from the prior year primarily due to the impact of the Cazenove business partnership, while the overhead ratio declined to 67% for 2005, from 69% in 2004.
2004 compared with 2003
In 2004, Operating earnings of $2.9 billion were up 5% from the prior year. Increases in Investment banking fees, a reductionthe improvement in the Provision for credit losses and the impact of the Merger were partially offset by decreases in trading revenues and net interest income. Return on equity was 17%.

for 2004.

Total net revenue of $12.6 billion was relatively flat from the prior year, primarily due to lower Fixed income markets revenues and total Credit portfolio revenues, offset by increases in Investment banking fees and the impact of the Merger. The decline in revenue from Fixed income markets was driven by weaker portfolio management trading results, mainly in the interest rate markets business. Total creditCredit portfolio revenues were down due to lower net interest income, and lending fees,



36JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2005 Annual Report


primarily driven by lower loan balances; these factors were partially offset by higher trading revenue due to more severe credit spread tightening in 2003 relative to 2004. Investment banking fees increased by 24% over the prior year, driven by significant gains in advisory and debt underwriting. The advisory gains were a result of increased global market volumes and market share, while the higher underwriting fees were due to stronger client activity.

The Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $640 million, compared with a benefit of $181 million in 2003. The improvement in the provision was the result of a $633 million decline in net charge-offs, partially offset by lower reductions in the allowance for credit losses in 2004 relative to 2003. For additional information, see Credit risk management on pages 57-69 of this Annual Report.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, Noninterest expense was up 5% from the prior year. The increase from 2003 was driven by higher Compensation expense, includingresulting from strategic investments and the impact of the Merger.

2003 compared with 2002Selected metrics
Operating earnings of $2.8 billion were up significantly over 2002. The increase in earnings was driven by a significant decline in the Provision for credit losses, coupled with strong growth in fixed income and equity markets revenues.

Total net revenue was $12.7 billion, an increase of $2.0 billion from the prior year. The low interest rate environment, improvement in equity markets and volatility in credit markets produced increased client and portfolio management revenue in fixed income and equities. Market share gains in equity underwriting contributed to the increase in Investment banking fees over 2002.

The Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $181 million in 2003, compared with a cost of $2.4 billion in 2002, reflecting improvement in the overall credit quality of the wholesale portfolio and the restructuring of several nonperforming wholesale loans.

Noninterest expense increased by 6% from 2002, reflecting higher incentives related to improved financial performance and the impact of expensing stock options. Noncompensation expenses were up 10% from the prior year due to increases in technology and occupancy costs.

The amount of adjusted assets is presented to assist the reader in comparing the IB’s asset and capital levels to other investment banks in the securities industry. Asset-to-equity leverage ratios are commonly used as one measure to assess a company’s capital adequacy. The IB believes an adjusted asset amount, which excludes certain assets considered to have a low risk profile, provides a more meaningful measure of balance sheet leverage in the securities industry.

(b)2005 includes a $250 million special provision related to Hurricane Katrina allocated as follows: $140 million in Consumer Real Estate Lending, $90 million in Consumer & Small Business Banking and $20 million in Auto & Education Finance.
2005 compared with 2004
Operating earnings were $3.4 billion, up $1.2 billion from the prior year. The increase was due largely to the Merger but also reflected increased deposit balances and wider spreads, higher home equity and subprime mortgage balances, and expense savings in all businesses. These benefits were partially

offset by narrower spreads on retained loan portfolios, the special provision for Hurricane Katrina and net losses associated with portfolio loan sales in the Home Finance and Auto businesses.
Net revenue increased to $14.8 billion, up $4.0 billion, or 37%, due primarily to the Merger. Net interest income of $10.2 billion increased by $2.5 billion as a result of the Merger, increased deposit balances and wider spreads, and growth in retained consumer real estate loans. These benefits were offset partially by narrower spreads on loan balances and the absence of loan portfolios sold in late 2004 and early 2005. Noninterest revenue of $4.6 billion increased by $1.5 billion due to the Merger, improved MSR risk management results, higher automobile operating lease income and increased banking fees. These benefits were offset in part by losses on portfolio loan sales in the Home Finance and Auto businesses.
The Provision for credit losses totaled $724 million, up $275 million, or 61%, from 2004. Results included a special provision in 2005 for Hurricane Katrina of $250 million and a release in 2004 of $87 million in the Allowance for loan losses related to the sale of the manufactured home loan portfolio. Excluding these items, the Provision for credit losses would have been down $62 million, or 12%. The decline reflected reductions in the Allowance for loan losses due to improved credit trends in most consumer lending portfolios and the benefit of certain portfolios in run-off. These reductions were partially offset by the Merger and higher provision expense related to the decision to retain subprime mortgage loans.
Noninterest expense rose to $8.6 billion, an increase of $1.8 billion from the prior year, due primarily to the Merger. The increase also reflected continued investment in retail banking distribution and sales, increased depreciation expense on owned automobiles subject to operating leases and a $40 million charge related to the dissolution of a student loan joint venture. Expense savings across all businesses provided a favorable offset.
2004 compared with 2003
Operating earnings were $2.2 billion, up from $1.5 billion a year ago. The increase was due largely due to the Merger. Excluding the benefit of the Merger, earnings declined as lower MSR risk management results and reduced prime mortgage production revenue offset the benefits of growth in loan balances, wider spreads on deposit products and improvement in credit costs.

Total net revenue increased to $10.8 billion, up 45% from the prior year. Net interest income increased by 48% to $7.7 billion, primarily due to the Merger, growth in retained loan balances and wider spreads on deposit products. Noninterest revenue increased to $3.1 billion, up 39%, due to the Merger and higher mortgage servicing income. Both components of total revenue included declines associated with risk managing the MSR asset and lower prime mortgage originations.

The Provision for credit losses was down 14% to $449 million despite the influenceimpact of the Merger. The effect of the Merger was offset by a reduction in the allowanceAllowance for loan losses resulting from the sale of the manufactured home loan portfolio, and continued positive credit quality trends in the consumer lending businesses.

Noninterest expense totaled $6.8 billion, up 53% from the prior year, primarily due to the Merger and continued investmentsinvestment to expand the branch network. Partially offsetting the increase were merger-related expense savings in all businesses.

2003 compared with 2002
Total net revenue was $7.4 billion in 2003, an increase of 17% over 2002. Net interest income increased by 37% to $5.2 billion, reflecting the positive impact of the low interest rate environment on consumer loan originations, particularly in Home Finance, and on spreads earned on retained loans.

The Provision for credit losses of $521 million increased by 56% compared with the prior year due to continued growth in the retained loan portfolios. Credit quality remained stable in 2003, as charge-offs decreased slightly, to $381 million.

Noninterest expense rose 20% to $4.5 billion. The increase reflected higher business volumes and compensation costs.

2005 compared with 2004
Operating earnings were $1.4 billion, up $236 million from the prior year, primarily due to the Merger, higher loan balances, reduced expenses and improved MSR risk management results.
Operating earnings for the Prime Production & Servicing segment totaled $422 million, up $182 million from the prior year. Net revenue of $1.6 billion increased by $118 million, reflecting improved MSR risk management results. The increase in MSR risk management results was due in part to the absence of prior-year securities losses on repositioning of the risk management asset. Decreased mortgage production revenue attributable to lower volume partially offset this benefit. Noninterest expense of $943 million decreased by $172 million, reflecting lower production volume and operating efficiencies.
Operating earnings for the Consumer Real Estate Lending segment increased by $54 million to $935 million. The current year included a loss of $120 million associated with the transfer of $3.3 billion of mortgage loans to held-for-sale, and a $140 million special provision related to Hurricane Katrina. Prior-year results included a $95 million net benefit associated with the sale of a $4.0 billion manufactured home loan portfolio and a $52 million charge related to a transfer of adjustable rate mortgage loans to held-for-sale. Excluding the after-tax impact of these items, earnings would have been up $242 million, reflecting the Merger, higher loan balances and lower expenses, partially offset by loan spread compression due to rising short-term interest rates and a flat yield curve, which contributed to accelerated home equity loan payoffs.
Home Finance uses a combination of derivatives, AFS securities and trading securities to manage changes in the fair value of the MSR asset. These risk management activities are intended to protect the economic value of the MSR asset by providing offsetting changes in the fair value of the related risk management instruments. The type and amount of instruments used in this risk management activity change over time as market conditions and approach dictate.


40JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2005 Annual Report


During 2005, positive MSR valuation adjustments of $777 million were partially offset by losses of $494 million on risk management instruments, including net interest earned on AFS securities. In 2004, negative MSR valuation adjustments of $248 million were more than offset by $361 million of aggregate risk management gains, including net interest earned on AFS securities. Unrealized losses on AFS securities were $174 million, $3 million and $144 million at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For a further discussion of MSRs, see Critical accounting estimates on page 83 and Note 15 on pages 114–116 of this Annual Report.
2004 compared with 2003
Operating earnings in the Prime Production & Servicing segment dropped to $240 million from $918 million in the prior year. Results reflected a decrease in prime mortgage production revenue, to $728 million from $1.3 billion, due to a decline in mortgage originations. Operating earnings were also impactedadversely affected by a drop in MSR risk management revenue, to $113 million from $784 million in the prior year. Results in 2004 included realized losses of $89 million on the sale of AFS securities associated with the risk management of the MSR asset, compared with securities gains of $359 million in the prior year. Noninterest expense was relatively flat at $1.1 billion.



34JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2004 Annual Report


Operating earnings for the Consumer Real Estate Lending segment more than doubled to $881 million from $414 million in the prior year. The increase was largely due to the addition of the Bank One home equity lending business but also reflected growth in retained loan balances and a $95 million net benefit associated with the sale of the $4 billion manufactured home loan portfolio; partially offsetting these increases were lower subprime mortgage securitization gains.gains as a result of management’s decision in 2004 to retain these loans. These factors contributed to total net revenue rising 61% to $2.4 billion. The provision for credit losses, at $74 million, decreased by 69% from a year ago. This improvement was the result of an $87 million reduction in the allowance for loan losses associated with the manufactured home loan portfolio sale, improved credit quality and lower delinquencies, partially offset by the Merger. Noninterest expense totaled $922 million, up 52% from the year-ago period, largely due to the Merger.

2003 compared with 2002
Home Finance achieved record financial performance in 2003, as operating earnings of $1.3 billion increased by 48% from 2002.

Total net revenue of $4.0 billion increased by 39% over 2002, given record production revenue, improved margins and higher home equity revenue.

The provision for credit losses of $240 million for 2003 increased by 26% over 2002, primarily due to higher retained loan balances. Credit quality continued to be strong relative to 2002, as evidenced by a lower net charge-off ratio and reduced delinquencies.

Noninterest expense of $1.7 billion increased by 29% from 2002, primarily a result of growth in origination volume. The increase in expenses was also a result of higher performance-related incentives and strategic investments made to further expand certain distribution channels. These were partially offset by production-related expense reduction efforts initiated in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Home Finance’s origination channels are comprised of the following:

Retail- A mortgage banker employed by the Firm directly contacts borrowers– Borrowers who are buying or refinancing a home throughare directly contacted by a mortgage banker employed by the Firm using a branch office, through the Internet or by phone. Borrowers are frequently referred to a mortgage banker by real estate brokers, home builders or other third parties.

Wholesale- A third-party mortgage broker refers loansloan applications to a mortgage banker at the Firm. Brokers are independent loan originators that specialize in finding and counseling borrowers but do not provide funding for loans.

Correspondent- Banks, thrifts, other mortgage banks and other financial institutions sell closed loans to the Firm.

Correspondent negotiated transactions (“CNT”)- Mid- to large-sized mortgage lenders, banks and bank-owned mortgage companies sell servicing to the Firm on an as-originated basis. These transactions supplement traditional production channels and provide growth opportunities in the servicing portfolio in stable and rising-rate periods.

(b) Excludes subprime loan MSR activity of $(7) million and $(2) million in 2005 and $(13) million in 2004, and 2002, respectively. There was no subprime loan MSR activity in 2003.
(c) Includes gains, losses and interest income associated with derivatives, both designated and not designated, as a SFAS 133 hedge, and securities classified as both trading and available-for-sale.

Home Finance uses a combination of derivatives, AFS securities and trading securities to manage changes in the fair value of the MSR asset. These risk management activities are intended to protect the economic value of the MSR asset by providing offsetting changes in the fair value of related risk management instruments. The type and amount of hedging instruments used in this risk management activity change over time as market conditions and approach dictate.

During 2004, negative MSR valuation adjustments of $248 million were more than offset by $361 million of aggregate risk management gains, including net interest earned on AFS securities. In 2003, negative MSR valuation adjustments of $253 million were more than offset by $1.0 billion of aggregate risk management gains, including net interest earned on AFS securities. Unrealized gains/(losses) on AFS securities were $(3) million, $(144) million and $377 million at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For a further discussion of MSRs, see Critical accounting estimates on page 79 and Note 15 on pages 109-111 of this Annual Report.

2005 compared with 2004
Operating earnings totaled $1.7 billion, up $924 million from the prior year. While growth largely reflected the Merger, results also included increased deposit balances and wider spreads, as well as higher debit card and other banking fees. These factors contributed to net revenue increasing to $8.4 billion from $5.4 billion in the prior year. The Provision for credit losses of $214 million increased by $49 million; excluding the special provision of $90 million related to Hurricane Katrina, the Provision would have decreased by $41 million from the prior year, reflecting lower net charge-offs and improved credit quality trends. Noninterest expense increased by $1.5 billion to $5.4 billion, as a result of the Merger and continued investment in branch distribution and sales, partially offset by merger efficiencies.
2004 compared with 2003
Operating earnings totaled $760 million, up from a loss of $4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was largely due to the Merger but also reflected wider spreads on deposits and lower expenses. These benefits were partially offset by a higher Provision for credit losses.

Total net revenue was $5.4 billion, compared with $2.4 billion in the prior year. While the increase iswas primarily attributable to the Merger, total net revenue also benefited from wider spreads on deposits.

The Provision for credit losses increased to $165 million from $76 million in the prior year. The increase was in part due to the Merger but also reflected an increase in the Allowanceallowance for credit losses to cover high-risk portfolio segments.

The increase in noninterestNoninterest expense to $4.0 billion was largely attributable to the Merger. Incremental expense from investmentsinvestment in the branch distribution network was also a contributing factor.

2003 compared with 2002
Total net revenue of $2.4 billion decreased by 9% compared with 2002. Net interest income declined by 10% to $1.6 billion, primarily due to the low-interest rate environment. Noninterest revenue decreased by 5% to $828 million given lower deposit fee income, decreased debit card fees and one-time gains in 2002.

Noninterest expense of $2.4 billion increased by 15% from 2002. The increase was largely due to investments in technology within the branch network and higher compensation expenses related to increased staff levels.

The Provision for credit losses of $76 million increased by $107 million compared with 2002. This reflected a reduction in the allowance for loan losses in 2002.

In 2003, operating earnings were $206 million, 24% higher than in 2002. Total net revenue grew by 23% to $842 million. Net interest income grew by 33% in comparison to 2002, driven by higher average loans and leases outstanding and wider spreads.

The Provision for credit losses increased by 18% to $205 million, primarily reflecting a 32% increase in average loan and lease receivables. Credit quality continued to be strong relative to 2002, as evidenced by a lower net charge-off ratio and a reduced delinquency rate.

Noninterest expense of $291 million increased by 18% compared with 2002. The increase in expenses was driven by higher origination volume and higher performance-based incentives.

Card Services
 

Card Services is one of the largest issuerissuers of general purpose credit cards in the United States, with approximately 94more than 110 million cards in circulation, and is the largest merchant acquirer. CS offers a wide variety of products to satisfy the needs of its cardmembers, including cards issued on behalf of many well-known partners, such as major airlines, hotels, universities, retailers and other financial institutions.

JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of “managed receivables” to evaluate the credit performance of the underlying credit card loans, both sold and not sold: as the same borrower is continuing to use the credit card for ongoing charges, a borrower’s credit performance will affect both the receivables sold under SFAS 140 and those not sold. Thus, in its disclosures regarding managed receivables, JPMorgan Chase treats the sold receivables as if they were still on the balance sheet in order to disclose the credit performance (such as net charge-off rates) of the entire managed credit card portfolio.
Operating results exclude the impact of credit card securitizations on revenue, the provisionProvision for credit losses, net charge-offs and receivables. Securitization does not change reported netNet income versus operating earnings; however, it does affect the classification of items on the Consolidated statements of income.

(b)As a result of the integration of Chase Merchant Services and Paymentech merchant processing businesses into a joint venture, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005, Total net revenue, Noninterest expense and pre-tax earnings have been reduced to reflect the deconsolidation of Paymentech. There is no impact to operating earnings.
(c)2005 includes a $100 million special provision related to Hurricane Katrina.

2005 compared with 2004
Operating earnings of $1.9 billion were up $633 million, or 50%, from the prior year due to the Merger. In addition, lower expenses driven by merger savings, stronger underlying credit quality and higher revenue from increased loan balances and charge volume were partially offset by the impact of increased bankruptcies.
Net revenue was $15.4 billion, up $4.6 billion, or 43%. Net interest income was $11.8 billion, up $3.4 billion, or 41%, primarily due to the Merger, and the acquisition of a private label portfolio. In addition, higher loan balances were partially offset by narrower loan spreads and the reversal of revenue related to increased bankruptcies. Noninterest revenue of $3.6 billion was up $1.2 billion, or 50%, due to the Merger and higher interchange income from higher charge volume, partially offset by higher volume-driven payments to partners, higher expense related to rewards programs and the impact of the deconsolidation of Paymentech.
The Provision for credit losses was $7.3 billion, up $2.5 billion, or 51%, primarily due to the Merger, and included the acquisition of a private label portfolio. The provision also increased due to record bankruptcy-related net charge-offs resulting from the new bankruptcy legislation, which became effective on October 17, 2005. Finally, the Allowance for loan losses was increased in part by the special provision for credit losses related to Hurricane Katrina. These factors were partially offset by lower contractual net charge-offs. Despite a record level of bankruptcy losses, the net charge-off rate improved. The managed net charge-off rate was 5.21%, down from 5.27% in the prior year. The 30-day managed delinquency rate was 2.79%, down from 3.70% in the prior year, driven primarily by accelerated loss recognition of delinquent accounts as a result of the bankruptcy reform legislation and strong underlying credit quality.
Noninterest expense of $5.0 billion increased by $1.1 billion, or 29%, primarily due to the Merger, which included the acquisition of a private label portfolio. Merger savings, including lower processing and compensation costs and the impact of the deconsolidation of Paymentech, were partially offset by higher spending on marketing.
2004 compared with 2003
Operating earnings of $1.3 billion increased by $591 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to the Merger. In addition, earnings benefited from higher loan balances and charge volume, partially offset by a higher provisionProvision for credit losses and higher expenses.

Total net revenue of $10.7 billion increased by $4.6 billion. Net interest income of $8.4 billion increased by $3.3 billion, primarily due to the Merger and higher loan balances. Noninterest revenue of $2.4 billion increased by $1.3 billion, primarily due to the Merger and higher charge volume, which generated increased interchange income. This wasincome resulting from higher charge-off volume. These factors were partially offset by higher volume-driven payments to partners, reflecting the sharing of income and increased rewards expense.

The Provision for credit losses of $4.9 billion increased by $1.9 billion, primarily due to the Merger and growth in credit card receivables. Credit ratios remained strong, benefiting from reduced contractual and bankruptcy charge-offs. The net charge-off ratio was 5.27%. The 30-day delinquency ratio was 3.70%.

Noninterest expense of $3.9 billion increased by $1.7 billion, primarily related to the Merger. In addition, expenses increased due to higher marketing expenses and volume-based processing expenses, partially offset by lower compensation expenses.

2003 compared with 2002
Operating earnings of $683 million increased by $19 million or 3% compared with the prior year. Earnings benefited from higher revenue, partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses and expenses.

Total net revenue of $6.1 billion increased by 4%. Net interest income of $5.1 billion increased by 2% due to higher spread and loan balances. Noninterest revenue of $1.1 billion increased by 11% due to higher charge volume, which generated increased interchange income. This was partially offset by higher rewards expense.

The Provision for credit losses was $2.9 billion, an increase of 6%, primarily due to the higher provision for credit losses and higher losses due to loan growth. Conservative risk management and rigorous collection practices contributed to stable credit quality.

Noninterest expense was $2.2 billion, an increase of 2%, due to volume-based processing expenses, partially offset by disciplined expense management.

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

2003 compared with 2002
Operating earnings were $307 million, an increase of 8% compared with 2002.

Total net revenue of $1.4 billion decreased by 1% compared with 2002. Net interest income of $1.0 billion decreased by 4% compared with the prior year, primarily due to lower deposit and loan spreads, partially offset by higher deposit and loan balances. Noninterest revenue was $393 million, an increase of 7%, primarily reflecting higher service charges on deposits and investment banking fees.

The Provision for credit losses was $6 million, a decrease of $66 million, which resulted from a larger reduction in the Allowance for credit losses and lower net charge-offs in 2003, reflecting an improvement in credit quality.

Noninterest expense was $822 million, an increase of 2% compared with 2002. The increase was the result of higher severance costs and performance-based incentives, partially offset by a decrease in other expenses.

2005 compared with 2004
Operating earnings were $1.0 billion, an increase of $597 million, or 136%. Primarily driving the improvement in revenue were the Merger, business growth, and widening spreads on and growth in average liability balances. Noninterest expense increased primarily due to the Merger and higher compensation expense. Results for 2005 also included charges of $58 million (after-tax) to terminate a client contract. Results for 2004 also included software-impairment charges of $97 million (after-tax) and a gain of $10 million (after-tax) on the sale of a business.
TSS net revenue of $6.2 billion increased $1.4 billion, or 28%. Net interest income grew to $2.1 billion, up $679 million, due to wider spreads on liability balances, a change in the corporate deposit pricing methodology in 2004 and growth in average liability balances. Noninterest revenue of $4.2 billion increased by $705 million, or 20%, due to product growth across TSS, the Merger and the acquisition of Vastera. Leading the product revenue growth was an increase in assets under custody to $11.2 trillion, primarily driven by market value appreciation and new business, along with growth in wholesale card, securities lending, foreign exchange, trust product, trade, clearing and ACH revenues. Partially offsetting this growth in noninterest revenue was a decline in deposit-related fees due to higher interest rates and the absence, in the current period, of a gain on the sale of a business.
TS net revenue of $2.6 billion grew by $628 million, Investor Services net revenue of $2.2 billion grew by $446 million, and Institutional Trust Services net revenue of $1.5 billion grew by $310 million. TSS firmwide net revenue, which includes TS net revenue recorded in other lines of business, grew to $8.8 billion, up $2.3 billion, or 35%. Treasury Services firmwide net revenue grew to $5.2 billion, up $1.6 billion, or 43%.
Credit reimbursement to the Investment Bank was $154 million, an increase of $64 million, primarily as a result of the Merger. TSS is charged a credit reimbursement related to certain exposures managed within the Investment Bank credit portfolio on behalf of clients shared with TSS.
Noninterest expense of $4.5 billion was up $357 million, or 9%, due to the Merger, increased compensation expense resulting from new business growth and the Vastera acquisition, and charges of $93 million to terminate a client contract. Partially offsetting these increases were higher product unit costs charged to other lines of business, primarily Commercial Banking, lower allocations of Corporate segment expenses, merger savings and business efficiencies. The prior year included software-impairment charges of $155 million.
2004 compared with 2003

Operating earnings for the year were $440 million, an increase of $18 million, or 4%. Results in 2004 include an after-tax gain of $10 million on the sale of an Investor ServicesIS business. Prior-year results include an after-tax gain of $22 million on the sale of an Institutional Trust ServicesITS business. Excluding these one-time gains, operating earnings would have increased by $30 million, or 8%. Both net revenue and Noninterest expense increased primarily as a result of the Merger, the acquisition of Bank One’s Corporate Trust business in November 2003 and the acquisition of EFSElectronic Financial Services (“EFS”) in January 2004.


JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2005 Annual Report49


Management’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

TSS net revenue improved by 35% to $4.9 billion. This revenue growth reflected the benefit of the Merger, and the acquisitions noted above, and improved product revenues across TSS. Net interest income grew to $1.4 billion from $947 million as a result of average depositliability balance growth of 44%46%, to $128$126 billion, a change in the corporate deposit pricing methodology in 2004 and wider deposit spreads. Growth in fees and commissions was driven by a 20%22% increase in assets under custody to $9.1$9.3 trillion as well as new business growth in trade, commercial card, global equity products, securities lending, fund services, clearing and ACH. Partially offsetting these improvements were lower service charges on deposits,deposit-related fees, which often decline as interest rates rise, and a soft municipal bond market.

Treasury Services (“TS”)

TS net revenue grew to $2.0 billion, Investor Services (“IS”)IS to $1.7 billion and Institutional Trust Services (“ITS”)ITS to $1.2 billion. TSS firmwide net revenue grew by 41% to $6.5 billion. TSS firmwide net revenues include Treasury ServicesTS net revenues recorded in other lines of business.

Credit reimbursement to the Investment Bank was $90 million, compared with a credit from the Investment Bank of $36 million in the prior year, principally due to the Merger and a change in methodology. TSS is charged a credit reimbursement related to certain exposures managed within the Investment Bank credit portfolio on behalf of clients shared with TSS.

Noninterest expense totaled $4.1 billion, up from $3.0 billion, reflecting the Merger, and the acquisitions noted above, $155 million of software impairment charges, upfront transition expenses related to on-boarding new custody and fund accounting clients, and legal and technology-related expenses.

On January 7, 2005, JPMorgan Chase agreed to acquire Vastera, a provider of global trade management solutions, for a total transaction value of approximately $129 million. Vastera’s business will be combined with the Logistics and Trade Services businesses of the Treasury Services unit. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2005.

2003 compared with 2002

TSS operating earnings decreased by 23% from 2002 while delivering a return on allocated capital of 15%. A 9% increase in Noninterest expense and a lower credit reimbursement contributed to the lower earnings.

Total net revenue increased by 2%, with growth at ITS of 11%. ITS revenue growth was the result of debt product lines, increased volume in asset servicing, a pre-tax gain of $36 million on the sale of an Institutional Trust Services business in 2003, and the result of acquisitions which generated $29 million of new revenue in 2003. TS’s revenue rose by 8% on higher trade and commercial payment card revenue and increased balance-related earnings, including

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

higher balance-deficiency fees resulting from the lower interest rate environment. IS’s revenue contracted by 7%, the result of lower NII due to lower interest rates, lower foreign exchange and securities lending revenue, and a pre-tax gain of $50 million on the sale of the Firm’s interest in a non-U.S. securities clearing firm in 2002.

Noninterest expense increased by 9%, attributable to higher severance, the impact of acquisitions, the cost associated with expensing of options, increased pension costs and charges to provide for losses on subletting unoccupied excess real estate.

TSS was assigned a credit reimbursement of pre-tax earnings and the associated capital related to certain credit exposures managed within IB’s credit portfolio on behalf of clients shared with TSS. For 2003, the impact to TSS was to increase pre-tax operating earnings by $36 million and average allocated capital by $712 million.

Treasury & Securities Servicesfirmwide metrics include certain TSS product revenues and depositsliability balances reported in other lines of business forrelated to customers who are also customers of those other lines of business. In order to capture the firmwide impact of TS and TSS products and revenues, management reviews firmwide metrics such as firmwide deposits, firmwide revenueliability balances, revenues and firmwide overhead ratios in assessing financial performance for TSS. Firmwide metrics are necessary, in management’s view, in order to understand the aggregate TSS business.

2005 compared with 2004
Operating earnings of $1.2 billion were up $535 million from the prior year due to the Merger and increased revenue, partially offset by higher compensation expense.
Net revenue was $5.7 billion, up $1.5 billion, or 36%. Noninterest revenue, primarily fees and commissions, of $4.6 billion was up $1.2 billion, principally due to the Merger, the acquisition of a majority interest in Highbridge Capital Management in 2004, net asset inflows and global equity market appreciation. Net interest income of $1.1 billion was up $285 million, primarily due to the Merger, higher deposit and loan balances, partially offset by narrower deposit spreads.

Private Bank client segment revenue of $1.7 billion increased by $135 million. Retail client segment revenue of $1.5 billion increased by $360 million. Institutional client segment revenue was up $504 million to $1.4 billion due to the acquisition of a majority interest in Highbridge Capital Management. Private Client Services client segment revenue grew by $486 million, to $1.0 billion.
Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $56 million, compared with a benefit of $14 million in the prior year, due to lower net charge-offs and refinements in the data used to estimate the allowance for credit losses.
Noninterest expense of $3.9 billion increased by $727 million, or 23%, reflecting the Merger, the acquisition of Highbridge and increased compensation expense related primarily to higher performance-based incentives.
2004 compared with 2003
Operating earnings were $681 million, up 137% from the prior year, due largely to the Merger but also driven by increased revenue and a decrease in the Provision for credit losses; these were partially offset by higher Compensation expense.

Total net revenue was $4.2 billion, up 41%, primarily due to the Merger. Additionally, fees and commissions increased due to global equity market appreciation, net asset inflows and the acquisition of JPMorgan Retirement Plan Services (“RPS”) in the second quarter of 2003. Fees and commissions also increased due to an improved product mix, with an increased percentage of assets in higher-yielding products. Net interest income increased due to deposit and loan growth.

The Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $14 million, a decrease of $49 million, due to an improvement in credit quality.

Noninterest expense was $3.1 billion, up 26%, due to the Merger, as well as increased Compensation expense and the impact of increased technology and marketing initiatives.

2003 compared with 2002

Operating earnings were $287 million, up 3% from the prior year, reflecting an improved credit portfolio, the benefit of slightly higher revenues. During the second quarter of 2003, the Firm acquired American Century Retirement Plan Services Inc., a provider of defined contribution recordkeeping services, as part of its strategy to grow its U.S. retail investment management business. The business was renamed JPMorgan Retirement Plan Services (“RPS”).

Total net revenue was $3.0 billion, up 1% from the prior year. The increase in fees and commissions reflected the acquisition of RPS and increased average equity market valuations in client portfolios, partly offset by institutional net outflows. Net interest income increased due to higher brokerage account balances and spreads. The decline in Other income primarily reflected non-recurring items in 2002.

The Provision for credit losses decreased by 59%, due to an improvement in credit quality and recoveries.

Noninterest expense was $2.5 billion, up $78 million from 2002, reflecting the acquisition of RPS, higher Compensation expense, and real estate and software write-offs, partly offset by the continued impact of expense-management programs.

Assets under supervision

20042005 compared with 20032004
Assets under supervision (“AUS”) at December 31, 2005, were $1.1 trillion, up 4%, or $43 billion, from the prior year despite a $33 billion reduction due to the sale of BrownCo. Assets under management (“AUM”) were $847 billion, up 7%. The increase was primarily the result of net asset inflows in equity-related products and global equity market appreciation. The Firm also has a 43% interest in American Century Companies, Inc., whose AUM totaled $101 billion and $98 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Custody, brokerage, administration, and deposits were $302 billion, down $13 billion due to a $33 billion reduction from the sale of BrownCo.
2004 compared with 2003
Assets under supervision at December 31, 2004, were $1.3$1.1 trillion, up 66%45% from 2003, and Assets under management (“AUM”) were $791 billion, up 41% from the prior year. The increases were primarily the result of the Merger, as well as market appreciation, net asset inflows and the acquisition of a majority interest in Highbridge Capital Management. The Firm also has a 43% interest in American Century Companies, Inc., whose AUM totaled $98 billion and $87 billion at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Custody, brokerage, administration, and deposits were $478$315 billion, up 135%55%, primarily due to market appreciation, the Merger as well as market appreciation and net inflows across all products.

2003 compared with 2002

AUS at December 31, 2003, totaled $764 billion, up 19% from the prior year-end. AUM totaled $561 billion, up 9%, and custody, brokerage, administration and deposit accounts were $203 billion, up 54%. The increase in AUM was driven by higher equity market valuations in client portfolios, partly offset by institutional net outflows. Custody, brokerage, administration and deposits grew by $70 billion, driven by the acquisition of RPS ($41 billion), higher equity market valuations in client portfolios and net inflows from Private bank clients.

The diversification of AUS across product classes, client segments and geographic regions helped to mitigate the impact of market volatility on revenue. The Firm also had a 44% interest in American Century Companies, Inc., whose AUM totaled $87 billion and $72 billion at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Net revenue was a loss of $1.1 billion compared with revenue of $885 million in the prior year. Noninterest revenue of $1.6 billion decreased by $491 million and included securities losses of $1.5 billion due to the repositioning of the Treasury investment portfolio, to manage exposure to interest rates, the gain on the sale of BrownCo of $1.3 billion and the increase in private equity gains of $262 million. For a further discussion on the sale of BrownCo, see Note 2 on page 93 of this Annual Report.
Net interest income was a loss of $2.7 billion compared with a loss of $1.2 billion in the prior year. Actions and policies adopted in conjunction with the Merger and the repositioning of the Treasury investment portfolio were the main drivers of the increased loss.

2004 compared with 2003

Operating earnings were $61 million, down from earnings of $668 million in the prior year.

Noninterest revenue was $1.8$2.1 billion, up 43%57% from the prior year. The primary component of noninterest revenue is Securities/private equity gains, which totaled $1.8 billion, up 73% from the prior year. The increase was a result of net gains in the Private Equity portfolio of $1.4 billion in 2004 compared with $27 million in net gains in 2003. Partially offsetting these gains were lower investment securities gains in Treasury.

Net interest income was a negativeloss of $1.2 billion compared with a negative $177loss of $133 million in the prior year. The declineincreased loss was driven primarily by actions and policies adopted in conjunction with the Merger.

Noninterest expense of $1.3 billion was up $772 million from the prior year due to the Merger. The Merger resulted in higher gross compensation and noncompensation expenses, which were partially offset by higher allocationexpenses. Allocations of thesecompensation and noncompensation expenses to the businesses. Incremental allocations to the businesses were lower than the gross expense increase due to certain policies adopted in conjunction with the Merger. These policiesMerger, which retain in Corporate overhead costs that would not be incurred by the lines of business if operated on a stand-alone basis, as well asand costs in excess of the market price for services provided by the corporate staff and technology and operations areas.

On September 15, 2004, JPMorgan Chase and IBM announced the Firm’s plans to reintegrate the portions of its technology infrastructure – including data centers, help desks, distributed computing, data networks and voice networks – that were previously outsourced to IBM.

2003 compared with 2002

For 2003, Corporate had operating earnings of $668 million, compared with an operating loss of $235 million in 2002, driven primarily by higher gains in the Private Equity portfolio and income tax benefits not allocated to the business segments.

2005 compared with 2004

Private Equity’s operating earnings for the year were $821 million compared with $602 million in the prior year. This improvement in earnings reflected an increase of $262 million in private equity gains to $1.7 billion, a 15% reduction in noninterest expenses and a $62 million decline in net funding costs of carrying portfolio investments. Private equity gains benefited from continued favorable markets for investment sales and recapitalizations, resulting in nearly $2 billion of realized gains. The carrying value of the private equity portfolio declined by $1.3 billion to $6.2 billion as of December 31, 2005. This decline was primarily the result of sales and recapitalizations of direct investments.
2004 compared with 2003
Private Equity’s operating earnings for the year totaled $602 million compared with a loss of $290 million in 2003. This improvement reflected a $1.4 billion increase in total private equity gains. In 2004, markets improved for investment sales, resulting in $1.4 billion of realized gains on direct investments, compared with realized gains of $535 million in 2003. Net write-downs on direct investments were $192 million in 2004 compared with net write-downs of $404 million in 2003, as valuations continued to stabilize amid positive market conditions.

The carrying value of the Private Equity portfolio at December 31, 2004, was $7.5 billion, an increase of $247 million from December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of ONE Equity Partners as a result of the Merger. Otherwise,Excluding ONE Equity Partners, the portfolio declined as a result of sales of investments, which was consistent with management’s intention to reduce over time the capital committed to private equity. Sales of third-party fund investments resulted in a decrease in carrying value of $458 million, to $641 million at December 31, 2004, compared with $1.1 billion at December 31, 2003.

2003 compared with 2002
The private equity portfolio recognized negative Total net revenue of $190 millionSelected income statement and operating losses of $290 million in 2003. Opportunities to realize value through sales, recapitalizations and initial public offerings (“IPOs”) of investments, although limited, improved during the year as the M&A and IPO markets started to recover.

Balance sheet overview
At December 31, 2004, the Firm’s total assets were $1.2 trillion, an increase of $386 billion, or 50%, from the prior year, primarily as a result of the Merger. Merger-related growth in assets was primarily in: Available-for-sale securities; interests in purchased receivables related to Bank One’s conduit business; wholesale and consumer loans; and goodwill and other intangibles, which was primarily the result of the purchase accounting impact of the Merger. Nonmerger-related growth was primarily due to the IB’s increased trading activity, which is reflected in securitiesSecurities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed, as well as trading assets.

At December 31, 2004, the Firm’s total liabilities were $1.1 trillion, an increase of $327 billion, or 45%, from the prior year, again primarily as a result of the Merger. Merger-related growth in liabilities was primarily in interest-bearing U.S. deposits, long-term debt, trust preferred securities and beneficial interests issued by consolidated variable interest entities. Nonmerger-related growth in liabilities was primarily driven by increases in noninterest-bearing U.S. deposits and the IB’s trading activity, which is reflected in securitiesSecurities sold under repurchase agreements partially offset by reductions

The increase in federal funds purchased.

Securities purchased under resale agreements was due primarily to growth in client-driven financing activities in North America and Europe.

Trading assets and liabilities – debt and equity instruments
The Firm’s debt and equity trading assetsinstruments consist primarily of fixed income securities (including government and corporate debt) and cash equity and convertible cash instruments used for both market-making and proprietary risk-taking activities. The increase over 2003December 31, 2004, was primarily due to growth in client-driven market-making activities across interest rate, credit and equity markets, as well as an increase in proprietary trading activities.

Trading assets and liabilities – derivative receivables and payables

The Firm uses various interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, credit and commodity derivatives for market-making, proprietary risk-taking and risk management purposes. The decline from 2003December 31, 2004, was primarily due to the Firm’s election, effective January 1, 2004,appreciation of the U.S. dollar and, to report the fair value of derivative assetsa lesser extent, higher interest rates, partially offset by increased commodity trading activity and liabilities net of cash received and paid, respectively, under legally enforceable master netting agreements.rising commodity prices. For additional information, refer to Credit risk management and Note 3 on pages 57–6963–74 and 90–91,94, respectively, of this Annual Report.

Securities
AFS securities include fixed income (e.g., U.S. Government agency and asset-backed securities, as well as non-U.S. government and corporate debt) and equity instruments. The Firm uses AFS securities primarily to manage interest rate risk. The AFS portfolio grewdeclined by $34.3$46.9 billion from the 2003 year-endDecember 31, 2004, primarily due to the Merger. Partially offsetting the increase were netsecurities sales in the Treasury portfolio since the second quarter(as a result of 2004. In anticipation of the Merger, both heritage firms reduced the level of their AFS securitiesmanagement’s decision to reposition the combined firm.Treasury investment portfolio to manage exposure to interest rates) and maturities, which more than offset purchases. For additional information related to securities, refer to the Corporate segment discussion and to Note 9 on pages 98–10053–54 and 103–105, respectively, of this Annual Report.

Loans
Loans, net of allowance, were $394.8The $17 billion at December 31, 2004,increase in gross loans was due primarily to an increase of 88%$15 billion in the wholesale portfolio, primarily from the prior year,IB, reflecting higher balances of loans held-for-sale (“HFS”) related to securitization and syndication activities, and growth in the IB Credit Portfolio. Wholesale HFS loans were $18 billion as of December 31, 2005, compared with $6 billion as of December 31, 2004. For consumer loans, growth in consumer real estate (primarily home equity loans) and credit card loans was offset largely by a decline in the auto portfolio. The increase in credit card loans primarily duereflected growth from new account originations and the acquisition of $1.5 billion of Sears Canada loans on the balance sheet. The decline in the auto portfolio primarily reflected a difficult auto lending market in 2005, $3.8 billion of securitizations and was also the result of a strategic review of the portfolio in 2004 that led to the Merger. Also contributingdecisions to the increase was growth in both the RFSde-emphasize vehicle leasing and CS loan portfolios, partially offset by lower wholesale loans in the IB.sell a $2 billion recreational vehicle portfolio.

Goodwill and otherOther intangible assets
The $42.9 billion$293 million increase in Goodwill and otherOther intangible assets primarily resulted from higher MSRs due to growth in the servicing portfolio as well as an overall increase in the valuation from improved market conditions; the business partnership with Cazenove; the acquisition of the Sears Canada credit card business; and the Neovest and Vastera acquisitions. Partially offsetting the increase were declines from the prior year was primarily the resultamortization of the Mergerpurchased credit card relationships and to a lesser extent, the Firm’s other acquisitions such as EFScore deposit intangibles and the majority stake in Highbridge.deconsolidation of Paymentech. For additional information, see Note 15 on pages 109–111114–116 of this Annual Report.

Deposits
Deposits are a key source of funding. The stability of this funding source is affected by such factors as returns available to customers on alternative investments, the quality of customer service levels and competitive forces. Deposits increased by 60%6% from December 31, 2003, primarily2004. Retail deposits increased, reflecting growth from new account acquisitions and the resultongoing expansion of the Merger andretail branch distribution network.

Long-term debt and capital debt securities
Long-term debt and capital debt securities increased by 99%$14.2 billion, or 13%, from the prior year,December 31, 2004, primarily due to the Merger and net new issuances of long-term debt issuances.and capital debt securities. The Firm took advantage of narrow credit spreads globally to issue opportunistically long-term debt and capital debt securities throughout 2005. Consistent with its liquidity management policy, the Firm raised funds sufficient to cover maturing obligations over the next 12 months and to support the less liquid assets on its balance sheet. Large investor cash positions and increased foreign investor participation in the corporate markets allowed JPMorgan Chase to diversify further its funding across the global markets while lengthening maturities.

Management’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Capital management
 

The Firm’s capital management framework is intended to ensure that there is capital sufficient to support the underlying risks of the Firm’s business activities, as measured by economic risk capital, and to maintain “well-capitalized” status under regulatory requirements. In addition, the Firm holds capital above these requirements in amounts deemed appropriate to achieve management’s regulatory and debt rating objectives. The Firm’s capital framework is integrated into the process of assigning equity to the lines of business. The Firm may refine its methodology for assigning equity to the lines of business as the merger integration process continues.

Line of business equity

The Firm’s framework for allocating capital is based onupon the following objectives:

 Integrate firmwide capital management activities with capital management activities within each of the lines of business.
 
 Measure performance in each business segment consistently across all lines of business.
 
 Provide comparability with peer firms for each of the lines of business.

Equity for a line of business represents the amount the Firm believes the business would require if it were operating independently, incorporating sufficient capital to address economic risk measures, regulatory capital requirements, and capital levels for similarly rated peers. Return on equity is measured and internal targets for expected returns are established as a primarykey measure of a business segment’s performance.

For performance management purposes, the Firm does not allocateinitiated a methodology at the time of the Merger for allocating goodwill. Under this methodology, in the last half of 2004 and all of 2005, goodwill from the Merger and from any business acquisition by either heritage firm prior to the lines of business because it believes that the accounting-driven allocation of goodwill could distort assessment of relative returns. In management’s view, this approach fosters better comparison of line of business returns with other internal business segments,Merger was allocated to Corporate, as well as with peers. The Firm assigns an amount of equity capital equal to the then current book value of its goodwill to the Corporate segment. The return on invested capital related to the Firm’s goodwill assets is managed within this segment. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Firm allocates goodwill to the lines of business based on the underlying fair values of the businesses and then performs the required impairment testing. For a further discussion of goodwill and impairment testing, see Critical accounting estimates and Note 15 on pages 77–79 and 109–111 respectively, of this Annual Report.

This integrated approach to assigning equity to the lines of business is a new methodology resulting from the Merger.was any associated equity. Therefore, current year2005 line of business equity is not comparable to equity assigned to the lines of business in prior years. The increase in average common equity in the following table below for 20042005 was attributable primarily attributable to the Merger.

(b) 20042005 includes $25.9$43.5 billion of equity to offset goodwill and $7.2$9.1 billion of equity, primarily related to Treasury, Private Equity and the Corporate Pension Plan.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Firm expects to refine its methodology for allocating capital to the lines of business, and may continue to refine this methodology. The revised methodology, among other things, considers for each line of business goodwill associated with such line of business’ acquisitions since the Merger. As a result of this refinement, Retail Financial Services, Card Services, Commercial Banking, Treasury & Securities Services and Asset & Wealth Management will have higher amounts of capital allocated in 2006, while the amount of capital allocated to the Investment Bank will remain unchanged. In management’s view, the revised methodology assigns responsibility to the lines of business to generate returns on the amount of capital supporting acquisition-related goodwill. As part of this refinement in the capital allocation methodology, the Firm will assign to the Corporate segment an

amount of equity capital equal to the then-current book value of goodwill from and prior to the Merger. In accordance with SFAS 142, the lines of business will continue to perform the required goodwill impairment testing. For a further discussion of goodwill and impairment testing, see Critical accounting estimates and Note 15 on pages 81–83 and 114–116, respectively, of this Annual Report.
Economic risk capital

JPMorgan Chase assesses its capital adequacy relative to the underlying risks of the Firm’s business activities, utilizing internal risk-assessment methodologies. The Firm assigns economic capital based primarily onupon five risk factors: credit risk, market risk, operational risk and business risk for each business; and private equity risk, principally for the Firm’s private equity business.

Credit risk capital
Credit risk capital is estimated separately for the wholesale businesses (Investment Bank, Commercial Banking, Treasury & Securities Services and Asset & Wealth Management and Treasury & Securities Services)Management) and consumer businesses (Retail Financial Services and Card Services).

Credit risk capital for the overall wholesale credit portfolio is defined in terms of unexpected credit losses, both from both defaults and declines in market value due to credit deterioration, measured over a one-year period at a confidence level consistent with the level of capitalization necessary to achieve a targeted ‘AA’ solvency standard. Unexpected losses are in excess of those for which provisions for credit losses are maintained. In addition to maturity and correlations, capital allocation is differentiated by several principal drivers of credit risk: exposure at default (or loan equivalent amount), likelihood of default, loss severity, and market credit spread.

 Loan equivalent amount for counterparty exposures in an over-the-counter derivative transaction is represented by the expected positive exposure based onupon potential movements of underlying market rates. Loan equivalents for unused revolving credit facilities represent the portion of an unused commitment likely, based onupon the Firm’s average portfolio historical experience, to become outstanding in the event an obligor defaults.
 
 Default likelihood is closely aligned withbased upon current market conditions for all publicly traded names orand investment banking clients, yielding a forward-looking measure of credit risk. This facilitates more active risk management by utilizingreferencing the growing market in credit derivatives and secondary market loan sales. This methodology produces, in the Firm’s view, more active risk management by utilizing a forward-looking measure of credit risk. This dynamic measure captures current market conditions and will change with the credit cycle over time impacting the level of credit risk capital. For privately-held firms in the commercial banking portfolio, default likelihood is based onupon longer term averages over an entire credit cycle.

 Loss severity of exposure is based onupon the Firm’s average historical experience during workouts, with adjustments to account for collateral or subordination.
 
 Market credit spreads are used in the evaluation of changes in exposure value due to credit deterioration.



50JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2004 Annual Report


Credit risk capital for the consumer portfolio is intended to represent a capital level sufficient to support an ‘AA’ rating, and its allocation is based onupon product and other relevant risk segmentation. Actual segment level default and severity experience are used to estimate unexpected losses for a one-year horizon at a confidence level equivalent to the ‘AA’ solvency standard. Statistical results for certain segments or portfolios are adjusted upward to ensure that capital is consistent with external benchmarks, including subordination levels on market transactions and capital held at representative monoline competitors, where appropriate.

Market risk capital
The Firm allocatescalculates market risk capital guided by the principle that capital should reflect the extent to which risks are presentrisk of loss in businesses.the value of portfolios and financial instruments caused by adverse movements in market variables, such as interest and foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, securities prices and commodities prices. Daily VAR, monthly stress-test results and other factors are used to determine appropriate capital charges for major business segments. See Market risk management on pages 70–74 of this Annual Report for more information about these market risk measures.levels. The Firm allocates market risk capital to each business segment according to a formula that weights that segment’s VAR and stress test exposures. See Market risk management on pages 75–78 of this Annual Report for more information about these market risk measures.

Operational risk capital
Capital is allocated to the lines of business for operational risk using a risk-based capital allocation methodology which estimates operational risk on a bottoms-upbottom-up basis. The operational risk capital model is based onupon actual losses and potential scenario-based stress losses, with adjustments to the capital calculation to reflect changes in the quality of the control environment and with aor the potential offset foras a result of the use of risk-transfer products. The Firm believes the model is consistent with the new Basel II Framework and expects to propose it eventually for qualification under the advanced measurement approach for operational risk.

Business risk capital
Business risk is defined as the risk associated with volatility in the Firm’s earnings due to factors not captured by other parts of its economic-capital framework. Such volatility can arise from ineffective design or execution of business strategies, volatile economic or financial market activity, changing client expectations and demands, and restructuring to adjust for changes in the competitive environment. For business risk, capital is allocated to each business based onupon historical revenue volatility and measures of fixed and variable expenses. Earnings volatility arising from other risk factors, such as credit, market, or operational risk, is excluded from the measurement of business risk capital, as those factors are captured under their respective risk capital models.

Private equity risk capital
Capital is allocated to publicly-privately- and privately-heldpublicly-held securities, and third partythird-party fund investments and commitments in the Private Equity portfolio to cover the potential loss associated with a decline in equity markets and related asset devaluations. In addition to negative market fluctuations, potential losses in private equity investment portfolios can be magnified by liquidity risk. The capital allocation for the Private Equity portfolio is based upon measurement of the loss experience suffered by the Firm and other market participants over a prolonged period of adverse equity market conditions.

Regulatory capital

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

banks, including JPMorgan Chase Bank National Association (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”) and Chase Bank USA, National Association.

The federal banking regulatory agencies issued a final rule that makes permanent an interim rule issued in 2000 that provides regulatory capital relief for certain cash-collateralized securities borrowed transactions, effective February 22, 2006. The final rule also broadens the types of transactions qualifying for regulatory capital relief under the interim rule. Adoption of the rule is not expected to have a material effect on the Firm’s capital ratios.
On March 1, 2005, the FRB issued a final rule, which became effective April 11, 2005, that continues the inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, subject to stricter quantitative limits.limits and revised qualitative standards, and broadens the definition of restricted core capital elements. The rule provides for a five-year transition period. The FirmAs an internationally active bank holding company, JPMorgan Chase is currently assessingsubject to the impactrule’s limitation on restricted core capital elements, including trust preferred securities, to 15% of total core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. At December 31, 2005, JPMorgan Chase’s restricted core capital elements were 16.5% of total core capital elements. JPMorgan Chase expects to be in compliance with the final rule. The effective date of15% limit by the final rule is dependent on the date of publication in the Federal Register.

March 31, 2009, implementation date.

On July 20, 2004, the federal banking regulatory agencies issued a final rule that excludes assets of asset-backed commercial paper programs that are consolidated as a result of FIN 46R from risk-weighted assets for purposes of computing Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital ratios. The final rule also requires that capital be held against short-term liquidity facilities supporting asset-backed commercial paper programs. The final rule became effective September 30, 2004. In addition, both short- and long-term liquidity facilities are subject to certain asset quality tests effective September 30, 2005. Adoption of the rule did not have a material effect on the capital ratios of the Firm. In addition, under the final rule, both short- and long-term liquidity facilities will be subject to certain asset quality tests effective September 30, 2005.

The following tables show that JPMorgan Chase maintained a well-capitalized position based onupon Tier 1 and Total capital ratios at December 31, 20042005 and 2003.

accord (“Basel I”), in effect since 1988. The goal of the Basel II Framework is to improve the consistency of capital requirements internationally, make regulatory capital more risk sensitive,risk-sensitive, and promote enhanced risk management practices among large, internationally active banking organizations. JPMorgan Chase supports the overall objectives of the Basel II Framework.

U.S. banking regulators are in the process of incorporating the Basel II Framework into the existing risk-based capital requirements. JPMorgan Chase will be required to implement advanced measurement techniques in the U.S. by employing its internal estimates of certain key risk drivers to derive capital requirements. Prior to implementation of the new Basel II Framework, JPMorgan Chase will be required to demonstrate to the FRBits U.S. bank supervisors that its internal criteria meet the relevant supervisory standards. The Basel II Framework will be fully effective in January 2008. JPMorgan Chase expects to implementbe in compliance within the established timelines with all relevant Basel II Framework within this timeframe.

JPMorgan Chase is currently analyzing local Basel II requirements in major jurisdictions outside the U.S. where it operates. Based on the results of this analysis, different approaches may be implemented in various jurisdictions.

Stock repurchases

On July 20, 2004, the Board of Directors approved an initial stock repurchase program in the aggregate amount of $6.0 billion. This amount includes shares
to be repurchased to offset issuances under the Firm’s employee equity-basedstock-based plans. The actual amount of shares repurchased will beis subject to various factors, including market conditions; legal considerations affecting the amount and timing of repurchase activity; the Firm’s capital position (taking into account purchase accounting adjustments)goodwill and intangibles); internal capital generation; and alternative potential investment opportunities. During 2004, underUnder the stock repurchase program, during 2005, the Firm repurchased 93.5 million shares for $3.4 billion at an average price per share of $36.46. During 2004, the Firm repurchased 19.3 million shares for $738 million at an average price per share of $38.27. As of December 31, 2005, $1.9 billion of authorized repurchase capacity remained.

Off–balance sheet arrangements and contractual cash obligations
 

Special-purpose entities

JPMorgan Chase is involved with several types of off-balance sheet arrangements, including special purpose entities (“SPEs”), lines of credit and loan commitments. The principal uses of SPEs are to obtain sources of liquidity for JPMorgan Chase and its clients by securitizing their financial assets, and to create other investment products for clients. These arrangements are an important part of the financial markets, providing market liquidity by facilitating investors’ access to specific portfolios of assets and risks. For example, SPEs are integral to the markets for mortgage-backed securities, commercial paper, and other asset-backed securities.

The basic SPE structure involves a company selling assets to the SPE. The SPE funds the purchase of those assets by issuing securities to investors. To insulate investors from creditors of other entities, including the seller of assets, SPEs are oftencan be structured to be bankruptcy-remote.

JPMorgan Chase is involved with SPEs in three broad categories of transactions:categories: loan securitizations, multi-seller conduits and client intermediation. Capital is held, as deemed appropriate, against all SPE-related transactions and related exposures, such as derivative transactions and lending-related commitments. For a further discussion of SPEs and the Firm’s accounting for them, see Note 1 on page 88,91, Note 13 on pages 103–106108–111 and Note 14 on pages 106–109111–113 of this Annual Report.

The Firm has no commitments to issue its own stock to support any SPE transaction, and its policies require that transactions with SPEs be conducted at arm’s length and reflect market pricing. Consistent with this policy, no JPMorgan Chase employee is permitted to invest in SPEs with which the Firm is involved where such investment would violate the Firm’s Worldwide Rules

Code of Conduct. These rules prohibit employees from self-dealing and prohibit employees from acting on behalf of the Firm in transactions with which they or their family have any significant financial interest.

For certain liquidity commitments to SPEs, the Firm could be required to provide funding if the credit rating of JPMorgan Chase Bank were downgraded below specific levels, primarily P-1, A-1 and F1 for Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, respectively. The amount of these liquidity commitments was $79.4$71.3 billion and $34.0$79.4 billion at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, respectively. Alternatively, if JPMorgan Chase Bank were downgraded, the Firm could be replaced by another liquidity provider in lieu of providing funding under the liquidity commitment, or, in certain circumstances, could facilitate the sale or refinancing of the assets in the SPE in order to provide liquidity.

Of its $71.3 billion in liquidity commitments to SPEs at December 31, 2005, $38.9 billion was included in the Firm’s other unfunded commitments to extend credit and asset purchase agreements, included in the following table. Of the $79.4 billion inof liquidity commitments to SPEs at December 31, 2004, $47.7 billion iswas included in the Firm’s total other unfunded commitments to extend credit included in the table below (compared with $27.7 billion at December 31, 2003).and asset purchase agreements. As a result of the Firm’s consolidation of multi-seller conduits in accordance with FIN 46R, $31.7$32.4 billion of these commitments, compared with $31.7 billion at December 31, 2004, are excluded from the following table, (compared with $6.3 billion at December 31, 2003), as the underlying assets of the SPEs have been included on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets.

The revenue reported in the table below primarily represents servicing and custodial fee income.

The Firm also has exposure to certain SPEs arising from derivative transactions; these transactions are recorded at fair value on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value (i.e., MTM gains and losses) recorded in Trading revenue. Such MTM gains and losses are not included in the revenue amounts reported in the table below.

Off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees
JPMorgan Chase utilizes lending-related financial instruments (e.g., commitments and guarantees) to meet the financing needs of its customers. The contractual amount of these financial instruments represents the maximum possible credit risk should the counterparty draw down the commitment or the Firm fulfill its obligation under the guarantee, and the counterparty subsequently fails to perform according to the terms of the contract. Most of these commitments and guarantees expire without a default occurring or without being drawn. As a result, the total contractual amount of these instruments is not, in the Firm’s view, representative of its actual future credit exposure or funding requirements. Further, certain commitments, primarily related to consumer financings, are cancelable, upon notice, at the option of the Firm. For a further
discussion of lending-related commitments and guarantees and the Firm’s accounting for them, see Credit risk management on pages 63–72 and Note 27 on pages 124–125 of this Annual Report.
Contractual cash obligations
In the normal course of business, the Firm enters into various contractual obligations that may require future cash payments. Commitments for future cash expenditures primarily include contracts to purchase future services and capital expenditures related to real estate-related obligations and equipment.

Management’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Risk management
 

Risk is an inherent part of JPMorgan Chase’s business activities. The Firm’s risk management framework and governance structure is intended to provide comprehensive controls and ongoing management of the major risks inherent in its major risks. In addition, this framework recognizes the diversity among the Firm’s core businesses, which helps reduce the impact of volatility in any particular area on its operating results as a whole.business activities.

The Firm’s ability to properly identify, measure, monitor and report risk is critical to itsboth soundness and profitability.

Risk identification:The Firm identifies risk by dynamically assessing the potential impact of internal and external factors on transactions and positions. Business and risk professionals develop appropriate mitigation strategies for the identified risks.

Risk measurement:The Firm measures risk using a variety of methodologies, including calculating probable loss, unexpected loss and value-at-risk, and by conducting stress tests and making comparisons to external benchmarks. Measurement models and related assumptions are routinely reviewed to ensure that the Firm’s risk estimates are reasonable and reflective of underlying positions.

Risk monitoring/Control:The Firm establishes risk management policies and procedures. These policies contain approved limits by customer, product and business that are monitored on a daily, weekly and monthly basis as appropriate.

Risk governance

The Firm’s risk governance structure is built upon the premise that each line of business is responsible for managing the risks inherent in its business activity. There are seveneight major risk types identified in the business activities
of the Firm: liquidity risk, credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, operational risk, legal and reputation risk, fiduciary risk and principalprivate equity risk. As part of the risk management structure, each line of business has a Risk Committee responsible for decisions relating to risk strategy, policies and control. Where appropriate, the Risk Committees escalate risk issues to the Firm’s Operating Committee, comprised of senior officers of the Firm, or to the Risk Working Group, a subgroup of the Operating Committee.

Overlaying risk management within the lines of business are three corporate functions: Treasury, Risk Management and Office of the General Counsel. Treasury is responsible for measuring, monitoring, reporting and managing the interest rate and liquidity risk profile of the Firm. Risk Management, under the direction of the Chief Risk Officer reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, provides an independent firmwide function of control and management of risk. Within Risk Management are those units responsible for credit risk, market risk, operational risk, private equity risk and risk technology and operations, as well as Risk Management Services, which is responsible for risk policy and methodology, risk reporting and risk education. The Office of the General Counsel has oversight function for legal, reputation and fiduciary risk.
In addition to the Risk Committees, there issix lines of business risk committees and these corporate functions, the Firm maintains an Asset & Liability Committee (“ALCO”), which oversees structural interest rate and liquidity risk, and capital management, as well as the Firm’s funds transfer pricing policy, through which lines of business transfer market-hedgable interest rate risk to Treasury. Treasury also has responsibility for decisions relating to its risk strategy,ALCO policies and control.control and transfers aggregate risk positions to the Chief Investment Office, which has responsibility for managing the risk. There is also an Investment Committee, which reviews key aspects of the Firm’s global M&A activities that are undertaken for its own investment account and that fall outside the scope of establishedthe Firm’s private equity and other principal finance activities.

The major risk types identified by the Firm are discussed in the following sections.



Liquidity risk management
 

Liquidity risk arises from the general funding needs of the Firm’s activities and in the management of its assets and liabilities. JPMorgan Chase’s liquidity management framework is intended to maximize liquidity access and minimize funding costs. Through active liquidity management, the Firm seeks to preserve stable, reliable and cost-effective sources of funding. This enables the Firm to replace maturing obligations when due and fund assets at appropriate maturities and rates in all market environments.rates. To accomplish this task, management uses a variety of liquidity risk measures that take into consideration market conditions, prevailing interest rates, liquidity needs and the desired maturity profile of liabilities.

Risk identificationGovernance
The Asset & Liability Committee (“ALCO”) reviews the Firm’s overall liquidity policy and measurementoversees the contingency funding plan. The ALCO also provides oversight of the Firm’s exposure to SPEs, with particular focus on the potential liquidity support requirements that the Firm may have to those SPEs.
Treasury is responsible for settingformulating the Firm’s liquidity strategy and targets, understanding the Firm’s on- and off-balance sheet liquidity obligations, providing policy guidance, overseeing policy adherence, and maintaining contingency planning and stress testing. In addition, it identifies and measures internal and external liquidity warning signals such as the unusual widening of spreads, to permit early detection of liquidity issues.

An extension of the Firm’s ongoing liquidity management is its contingency funding plan. The goals of the plan are to ensure maintenance of appropriate liquidity during normal and stress periods, measure and project funding requirements during periods of stress, and manage access to funding sources. The plan considers temporary and long-term stress scenarios where access to unsecured funding is severely limited or nonexistent. The plan forecasts potential funding needs, taking into account both on- and off-balance sheet exposures, separately evaluating access to funds by the parent holding company and JPMorgan Chase Bank.
The Firm’s liquidity risk framework also incorporates tools to monitor three primary measures of liquidity are:

liquidity:

 Holding company short-term position: Measures the parent holding company’s ability to repay all obligations with a maturity of less than one year at a time when the ability of the Firm’s bankssubsidiaries to pay dividends to the parent holding company is constrained. Holding company short-term position is managed to a positive position over time.

Risk monitoring and reporting
Treasury is responsible for measuring, monitoring, reporting and managing the liquidity profile of the Firm through both normal and stress periods. Treasury analyzes reports to monitor the diversity and maturity structure of the Firm’s sources of funding,funding; and to assessassesses downgrade impact scenarios, contingent funding needs, and overall collateral availability and pledging status. A contingency funding plan is in place, intended to help the Firm manage through periods when access to funding is temporarily impaired. A downgrade analysis considers the potential impact of a one- and two-notch

A trigger-risk funding analysis considers the impact of a bank level downgrade belowthrough A-1/P-1 includingas well as the increased contingent funding requirements that would be required if such an event were to occur.triggered. These liquidity analytics rely on management’s judgment about JPMorgan Chase’s ability to liquidate assets or use them as collateral for borrowings and take into account credit risk management’s historical data on the funding of loan commitments (e.g., commercial paper back-up facilities), liquidity commitments to SPEs, commitments with rating triggers and collateral posting requirements. For a further discussion of SPEs and other off-balance sheet arrangements, see Off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual cash obligations on pages 52-53,58–59, as well as Note 1, Note 13, Note 14 and Note 27 on pages 88, 103-106, 106-109,91, 108–111, 111–113, and 119-120,124–125, respectively, of this Annual Report.

Funding

Sources of funds
Consistent with its liquidity management policy, the Firm has raised funds at the parent holding company sufficient to cover its obligations and those of its nonbank subsidiaries that mature over the next 12 months. Long-term funding needs for the parent holding company over the next several quarters are expected to be consistent with prior periods.
As of December 31, 2005, the Firm’s liquidity position remained strong based upon its liquidity metrics. JPMorgan Chase’s long-dated funding, including core deposits, exceeds illiquid assets, and the Firm believes its obligations can be met even if access to funding is impaired.
The diversity of the Firm’s funding sources enhances financial flexibility and limits dependence on any one source, thereby minimizing the cost of funds. A majorThe deposits held by the RFS, CB and TSS lines of business are a stable and consistent source of liquidityfunding for JPMorgan Chase Bank is provided by its large core deposit base.Bank. As of December 31, 2005, total deposits for the Firm were $555 billion, which represented 67% of the Firm’s funding liabilities. A significant portion of the Firm’s retail deposits are “core” deposits, which are less sensitive to interest rate changes and therefore are considered more stable than market-based deposits. Core

These franchise-generated core liability balances are also a stable and consistent source of funding due to the nature of the businesses from which they are generated. For a further discussion of deposit and liability balance trends, see Business Segment Results and Balance Sheet Analysis on pages 34–35 and 55, respectively, of this Annual Report.

Additional sources of funds include a variety of both short- and long-term instruments, including federal funds purchased, commercial paper, bank notes, medium- and long-term debt, and capital debt securities. This funding is managed centrally, using regional expertise and local market access, to ensure active participation in the global financial markets while maintaining consistent global pricing. These markets serve as a cost-effective and diversified source of funds and are a critical component of the Firm’s liquidity management. Decisions concerning the timing and tenor of accessing these markets are based upon relative costs, general market conditions, prospective views of balance sheet growth and a targeted liquidity profile.
Finally, funding flexibility is provided by the Firm’s ability to access the repurchaserepo and asset securitization markets. At December 31, 2004, $72 billion of securities were available for repurchase agreements, and $36 billion of credit card, automobile and mortgage loans were available for securitizations. These alternativesmarkets are evaluated on an ongoing basis to achieve an appropriate balance of secured and unsecured funding. The ability to securitize loans, and the associated gains on those securitizations, are principally dependent onupon the credit quality and yields of the assets securitized and are generally not dependent onupon the credit ratings of the
issuing entity. Transactions between the Firm and its securitization structures are reflected in JPMorgan Chase’s consolidated financial statements; these relationships include retained interests in securitization trusts, liquidity facilities and derivative transactions. For further details, see Off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual cash obligations and Notes 13 and 1427 on pages 103-10658–59, 108–111 and 106-109,124–125, respectively, of this Annual Report.

High investor cash positions and increasedContinued strong foreign investor participation in the global corporate markets allowed JPMorgan Chase to identify attractive opportunities globally to further diversify further its funding across the global marketsand capital sources while decreasing funding costs and lengthening maturities.

During 2004,2005, JPMorgan Chase issued approximately $25.3$43.7 billion of long-term debt and capital debt securities. These issuances were offset partially offset by $ 16.0$26.9 billion of long-term debt and capital debt securities that matured or were redeemed and the Firm’s redemption of $670$200 million of preferred stock. In addition, in 20042005 the Firm securitized approximately $6.5$18.1 billion of residential mortgage loans, $8.9$15.1 billion of credit card loans and $1.6$3.8 billion of automobile loans, resulting in pre-tax gains (losses) on securitizations of $47$21 million, $52$101 million and $(3)$9 million, respectively. For a further discussion of loan securitizations, see Note 13 on pages 103-106108–111 of this Annual Report.



Credit ratings

The credit ratings of JPMorgan Chase’s parent holding company and each of its significant banking subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, were as follows:
             
  Short-term debtSenior long-term debt
  Moody's S&P Fitch Moody's S&P Fitch

In connection with the Merger, Moody’s upgraded the ratings of the Firm by one notch, moving the parent holding company’s senior long-term debt rating to Aa3 and JPMorgan Chase Bank’s senior long-term debt rating to Aa2; and changed its outlook to stable. Also at that time, Fitch affirmed its ratings and changed its outlook to positive, while S&P affirmed all its ratings and kept its outlook stable.

The cost and availability of unsecured financing are influenced by credit ratings. A reduction in these ratings could adversely affect the Firm’s access to

liquidity sources, increase the cost of funds, trigger additional collateral requirements and decrease the number of investors and counterparties willing to lend. Critical factors in maintaining high credit ratings include a stable and diverse

earnings stream;stream, strong capital ratios;ratios, strong credit quality and risk management controls;controls, diverse funding sources;sources and strong liquidity monitoring procedures.

If the Firm’s ratings were downgraded by one notch, the Firm estimates the incremental cost of funds and the potential loss of funding to be negligible. Additionally, the Firm estimates the additional funding requirements for VIEs and other third-party commitments would not be material. In the current environment, the Firm believes a downgrade is unlikely. For additional information on the impact of a credit ratings downgrade on the funding requirements for VIEs, and on derivatives and collateral agreements, see Off-balance Sheet ArrangementsSpecial-purpose entities on pages 52-5358–59 and Ratings profile of derivative receivables mark-to-market (“MTM”) on page 64,69, of this Annual Report.

Credit risk management
 

Credit risk is the risk of loss from obligor or counterparty default. The Firm provides credit to customers of all sizes, from large corporate clients to loans for the individual consumer. ManagementThe Firm manages the risk/reward relationship of each portfolio discouragingand discourages the retention of loan assets that do not generate a positive return above the cost of risk-adjusted capital. The Firm’s business strategy for its large corporate wholesale loan portfolio remains primarily one of origination for distribution; the majority of the Firm’s wholesale

loan originations (primarily to IB clients) continuecontinues to be distributed into the marketplace, with residual holds by the Firm averaging less than 10%. Wholesale loans generated by CB and AWM are generally retained on the balance sheet. With regard to the prime consumer credit market, the Firm focuses on creating a portfolio that is diversified from both a product and a geographical perspective.

Within the prime mortgage business, originated loans are retained on the balance sheet as well as selectively sold to government agencies; the latter category is routinely classified as held-for-sale.

Credit risk organization
Credit risk management is overseen by the Chief Risk Officer, a member of the Firm’s Operating Committee. The Firm’s credit risk management governance structure consists of the following primary functions as described in the organizational chart below.

Management’s discussion and analysis

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

In 2004, the Firm continued to enhance its risk management discipline, managing wholesale single-name and industry concentration through its threshold and limit structure and using credit derivatives and loan sales in its portfolio management activity. The Firm manages wholesale exposure concentrations by obligor, risk rating, industry and geography. In addition, the Firm continued to make progress under its multi-year initiative to reengineer specific components of the credit risk infrastructure. The goal is to enhance the Firm’s ability to provide immediate and accurate risk and exposure information; actively manage credit risk in the retained portfolio; support client relationships; more quickly manage the allocation of economic capital; and comply with Basel II initiatives.

In 2004, the Firm continued to grow its consumer loan portfolio, focusing on businesses providing the most appropriate risk/reward relationship while keeping within the Firm’s desired risk tolerance. During the past year, the Firm also completed a strategic review of all consumer lending portfolio segments. This action resulted in the sale of the $4 billion manufactured home loan portfolio, de-emphasizing vehicle leasing and, subsequent to year-end 2004, the sale of a $2 billion recreational vehicle portfolio. Continued growth in the core consumer lending product set (residential real estate, auto and education finance, credit cards and small business) reflected a focus on the prime credit quality segment of the market.

CreditThe credit risk also arises due to country or sovereignfunction works in partnership with the business segments in identifying and aggregating exposure as well as indirectly through the issuanceacross all lines of guarantees.business.

Risk measurement

To measure credit risk, the Firm employs several methodologies for estimating the likelihood of obligor or counterparty default. Losses generated by consumer loans are more predictable than wholesale losses, but are subject to cyclical and seasonal factors. Although the frequency of loss is higher on consumer loans than on wholesale loans, the severity of loss is typically lower and more manageable. As a result of these differences, methodologies vary depending on certain factors, including type of asset (e.g., consumer installment versus wholesale loan), risk measurement parameters (e.g., delinquency status and credit bureau score versus wholesale risk rating) and risk management and collection processes (e.g., retail collection center versus centrally managed workout groups).

Credit risk measurement is based onupon the amount of exposure should the obligor or the counterparty default, the probability of default and the loss severity given a default event. Based onupon these factors and related market-based inputs, the Firm estimates both probable and unexpected losses for the wholesale and consumer portfolios. Probable losses, reflected in the Provision for credit losses, are generally statistically-based estimates of credit losses over time, anticipated as a result of obligor or counterparty default. However, probable losses are not the sole indicators of risk. If losses were entirely predictable, the probable loss rate could be factored into pricing and covered as a normal and recurring cost of doing business. Unexpected losses, reflected in the allocation of credit risk capital, represent the potential volatility of actual losses relative to the probable level of losses (referlosses. (Refer to Capital management on pages 50-5156–58 of this Annual Report for a further discussion of the credit risk capital methodology).methodology.) Risk measurement for the wholesale portfolio is assessed primarily based on a risk-rated exposure; andbasis; for the consumer portfolio, it is basedassessed primarily on a credit-scored exposure.

basis.

Risk-rated exposure

For portfolios that are risk-rated, probable and unexpected loss calculations are based onupon estimates of probability of default and loss given default. Probability of default is expected default calculated on an obligor basis. Loss given default is an estimate of losses that are based onupon collateral and structural support for each credit facility. Calculations and assumptions are based onupon management information systems and methodologies which are under continual review. Risk ratings are assigned and reviewed on an ongoing basis by Credit Risk Management and revised, if needed, to reflect the borrowers’ current risk profileprofiles and the related collateral and structural position.positions.

Credit-scored exposure

For credit-scored portfolios (generally Retail Financial Servicesheld in RFS and Card Services)CS), probable loss is based onupon a statistical analysis of inherent losses over discrete periods of time. Probable losses are estimated using sophisticated portfolio modeling, credit scoring and decision-support tools to project credit risks and establish underwriting standards. In addition, common measures of credit quality derived from historical loss experience are used to predict consumer losses. Other risk characteristics evaluated include recent loss experience in the portfolios, changes in origination sources, portfolio seasoning, loss severity and underlying credit practices, including charge-off policies. These analyses are applied to the Firm’s current portfolios in order to forecast delinquencies and severity of losses, which determine the amount of probable losses. These factors and analyses are updated on a quarterly basis.

Risk monitoring

The Firm has developed policies and practices that are designed to preserve the independence and integrity of decision-making and ensure credit risks are accurately assessed, properly approved, continually monitored and actively managed at both the transaction and portfolio levels. The policy framework establishes credit approval authorities, creditconcentration limits, risk-rating methodologies, portfolio-review parameters and problem-loan management. Wholesale credit risk is continually monitored on both an aggregate portfolio level and on an individual customer basis. For consumer credit risk, the key focus items are trends and concentrations at the portfolio level, where potential problems can be remedied through changes in underwriting policies and portfolio guidelines. Consumer Credit Risk Management monitors trends against business expectations and industry benchmarks.

In order to meet its credit risk management objectives, the Firm seeks to maintain a risk profile that is diverse in terms of borrower, product type, industry and geographic concentration. Additional diversification of the Firm’s exposure is accomplished through loan syndication of credits,and participations, loan sales, securitizations, credit derivatives and other risk-reduction techniques.

Risk reporting

To enable monitoring of credit risk and decision-making, aggregate credit exposure, credit metric forecasts, hold-limit exceptions and risk profile changes are reported regularly to senior credit risk management regularly.management. Detailed portfolio reporting of industry, customer and geographic concentrations occurs monthly, and the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses is reviewed by senior management at least on a quarterly basis. Through the risk reporting and governance structure, credit risk trends and limit exceptions are provided regularly provided to, and discussed with, the Operating Committee.

2005 Credit risk overview
The wholesale portfolio experienced continued credit strength during 2005. Wholesale nonperforming loans were down by $582 million, or 37%, from 2004; net recoveries were $77 million compared with net charge-offs of

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

$186 million in 2004; and the allowance for credit losses decreased by $740 million, or 21%, reflecting the quality of the portfolio at this time. The Firm anticipates a return to more normal provisioning for credit losses for the wholesale portfolio in 2006. In 2005, the Firm also made significant strides in the multi-year initiative to reengineer specific components of the wholesale credit risk infrastructure. The Firm is on target to meet the goals of enhancing the timeliness and accuracy of risk and exposure information and reporting; management of credit risk in the retained portfolio; support of client relationships; allocation of economic capital and compliance with Basel II initiatives.
Consumer credit was impacted in 2005 by two significant events, Hurricane Katrina and federal bankruptcy reform legislation. Hurricane Katrina impacted customers across all consumer businesses (and to a lesser extent CB and AWM). As a result, the consumer Allowance for loan losses was increased by $350 million ($250 million in RFS, and $100 million in CS). It is anticipated that the majority of charge-offs associated with the hurricane will be taken against the allowance in 2006. Bankruptcy reform legislation became effective on October 17, 2005. This legislation prompted a “rush to file” effect that resulted in a spike in bankruptcy filings and increased credit losses, predominantly in CS, where it is believed that $575 million
in estimated bankruptcy legislation-related credit losses occurred in the fourth quarter of 2005. It is anticipated that the first half of 2006 will experience lower credit card net charge-offs, as the record levels of bankruptcy filings in the 2005 fourth quarter are believed to have included bankruptcy filings that would have occurred in 2006. With the exception of the events noted above, the 2005 underlying credit performance, which was driven by favorable loss severity performance in residential real estate, continued to be strong. CS continues to quantify and refine the impact associated with changes in the FFIEC minimum-payment requirements. Actual implementation of the new payment requirements began in late 2005 and will run through early 2006; CS anticipates higher net charge-offs during the second half of 2006 as a result.
In 2005, the Firm continued to grow the consumer loan portfolio, focusing on businesses providing the most appropriate risk/reward relationship while keeping within the Firm’s desired risk tolerance. During the past year, the Firm continued a de-emphasis of vehicle leasing and sold its $2 billion recreational vehicle portfolio. Continued growth in most core consumer lending products (residential real estate, credit cards and small business) reflected a focus on the prime credit quality segment of the market.

Wholesale credit portfolio
As of December 31, 2005, wholesale exposure (IB, CB, TSS and AWM) increased by $11 billion from December 31, 2004. Increases in Loans and lending-related commitments were offset partially by reductions in Derivative receivables and Interests in purchased receivables. As described on pages 36–37 of this Annual Report, the increase in Loans was primarily in the IB,
reflecting an increase in loans held-for-sale related to securitization and syndication activities and growth in the IB credit portfolio. The increase in lending-related commitments was mostly due to CB activity. The decrease in Derivative receivables was due primarily to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and higher interest rates, partially offset by rising commodity prices.

Management’s discussion and analysis

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Wholesale credit portfolio

The increase in total wholesale exposure was almost entirely due to the Merger. Derivative receivables declined by $18 billion, primarily because, effective January 1, 2004, the Firm elected to report the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities net of cash received and paid, respectively, under legally enforceable master netting agreements. Loans, lending-related commitments

and interests in purchased receivables increased by $60 billion, $98 billion and $27 billion, respectively, primarily as a result of the Merger.

Below are summaries of the maturity and ratings profiles of the wholesale portfolio as of December 31, 20042005 and 2003.2004. The ratings scale is based onupon the Firm’s internal risk ratings and is presented on an S&P-equivalent basis.

As ofManagement’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

At December 31, 2004,2005, the percentage of the investment-grade wholesale exposure, ratings profileexcluding HFS, remained relatively stable compared withunchanged from December 31, 2003.2004. Derivative receivables of less than one year decreased as a result of the appreciation of the U.S. dollar on short-dated foreign exchange (“FX”) contracts. The percentage of derivative exposure greater than 5 years increased from 42% to 56% at year-end 2005, primarily as a result of the reduction in shorter-dated exposure.

Wholesale credit exposure selected industry concentration
The Firm actively managescontinues to focus on the sizemanagement and diversification of its industry concentrations, with particular attention paid to industries with actual or potential credit concerns. Following the Merger, the Firm commenced a thorough reviewAs of industry definitions and assignments in each of the heritage firm’s portfolios. As a result of this review, the Firm’s industry structure was modified, resulting in two new industry groups within the top-10 industry concen-

trations at December 31, 2004: Banks2005, the top 10 industries remained predominantly unchanged from year-end 2004, with the exception of Oil and finance companies (consistsgas, which replaced Media. Below are summaries of the industries termed Commercial banks and Finance companies and lessors at year-end 2003) and Retail and consumer services (previously separate industries at December 31, 2003). The Merger resulted in increases in nearly every top 10 industry concentration. Exposures to Banksconcentrations as of December 31, 2005 and finance companies and Asset managers declined, primarily as a result of the Firm’s election to report fair value of derivative assets and liabilities net of cash received and paid, respectively, under legally enforceable master netting agreements, which affected derivative receivables. A significant portion of the Firm’s derivatives portfolio is transacted with customers in these industries.

SelectedWholesale criticized exposure
Exposures deemed criticized generally represent a ratings profile similar to a rating of CCC+/Caa1 and lower, as defined by Standard & Poor’s/Moody’s. The criticized component of the portfolio decreased to $5.2 billion (excluding HFS) at December 31, 2005, from $8.3 billion at year-end 2004, reflecting strong credit quality, refinancings and gross charge-offs. Also contributing to the decline was a refinement in methodology in the first quarter of 2005 to align the ratings methodologies of the heritage firms.
At December 31, 2005, Automotive, Telecom services and Retail and consumer services moved into the top 10 of wholesale criticized exposure, replacing Chemicals/plastics, Business services and Metals/mining industries.
Wholesale nonperforming assets
Wholesale nonperforming assets (excluding purchased held-for-sale wholesale loans) decreased by $779 million from $1.8 billion at December 31, 2004, as a result of loan sales, repayments and gross charge-offs. For full year 2005, wholesale net recoveries were $77 million compared with net charge-offs of $186 million in 2004, primarily due to lower gross charge-offs. The net recovery rate for full year 2005 was 0.06% compared with a net charge-off rate of 0.18% for the prior year. Net charge-offs do not include $67 million of gains from sales of nonperforming loans that were sold during 2005 to a counter-party other than the original borrower. When it is determined that a loan will be sold it is transferred into a held-for-sale account. Held-for-sale loans are accounted for at lower of cost or fair value, with changes in value recorded in other revenue.

Wholesale selected industry discussion
Presented below is a discussion of several industries to which the Firm has significant exposure and which it continues to monitor because of actual or potential credit concerns. For additional information, refer to the tables above and on the preceding page.

 
Banks and finance companies:This industry group, primarily consisting of exposure to commercial banks, is the largest segment of the Firm’s wholesale credit portfolio. Credit quality is high, as 90%88% of the exposure in this category is rated investment-grade.
 
 
Real estate:Wholesale real estate grew considerably as a resultThis industry, the second largest segment of the Merger. The resulting exposure is diversified by transaction type, borrower base, geography and property type. In 2004,Firm’s wholesale credit portfolio, grew modestly in 2005, as the portfolio continued to benefit from disciplined underwriting,relatively low interest rates, high liquidity and increased capital demand.

All other:All other at December 31, 2004, included $298 billion of credit exposure to 21 industry segments. Exposures related to SPEs and high-net-worth individuals totaled 45% of this category. SPEs provide secured financing (generally backed by receivables, loans or bonds on a bankruptcy-remote, non-recourse or limited-recourse basis) originated by companies in a diverse group of industries that are not highly correlated. The remaining All other exposure is well diversified across other industries, none of which comprises more than 3% of total exposure.

Exposures deemed criticized generally represent a ratings profile similar to a rating of CCC+/Caa1 and lower, as defined by Standard & Poor’s/Moody’s. Despite the Merger, the criticized component of the portfolio decreased to $8.3 billion at December 31, 2004, from $8.9 billion at year-end 2003. The portfolio continued to experience improvement due to debt repayments and



The exposure is well-diversified by client, transaction type, geography and property type.
JPMorgan Chase & Co./2004 Annual Report
 61Oil and gas:During 2005, exposure to this industry group increased as a result of the rise in oil and gas prices; derivative receivables MTM increased on contracts that were executed at lower price levels. In addition, the Firm extended shorter term loans that were expected to be refinanced through capital market transactions and further syndications.
Media:Criticized exposures within Media increased in 2005, and this industry now represents the largest percentage of the total criticized portfolio. The increase was attributable primarily to the extension of short-term financings to select borrowers. The remaining Media portfolio is stable, with the majority of the exposure rated investment-grade.
Automotive:In 2005, Automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and suppliers based in North America were negatively affected by a challenging operating environment. As a result, criticized exposures to the Automotive industry grew, primarily as a result of downgrades to select names within the portfolio. However, though larger in the aggregate, most of the criticized exposure remains undrawn and performing.
All other:All other in the wholesale credit exposure concentration table at December 31, 2005, excluding HFS, included $283 billion of credit exposure to 21 industry segments. Exposures related to SPEs and high-net-worth individuals totaled 45% of this category. SPEs provide secured financing (generally backed by receivables, loans or bonds on a bankruptcy-remote, non-recourse or limited-recourse basis) originated by companies in a diverse group of industries that are not highly correlated. The remaining All other exposure is well diversified across other industries; none comprise more than 3% of total exposure.

Wholesale nonperforming assets (excluding purchased held-for-sale wholesale loans) decreased from December 31, 2003, as a result of gross charge-offs of $543 million taken during 2004. Wholesale net charge-offs improved significantly compared with 2003, as a result of lower gross charge-offs and slightly higher recoveries. The 2004 wholesale net charge-off rate was 0.19%, compared with 0.97% in 2003.

Although future charge-offs in the wholesale portfolio and overall credit quality are subject to uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ from historic performance, the Firm anticipates that the wholesale provision for credit losses will be higher in 2005 than it was in 2004, as the provision for credit losses moves to more normal levels over time.

Derivative contracts

In the normal course of business, the Firm utilizes derivative instruments to meet the needs of customers, to generate revenues through trading activities, to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, currencies and other markets and to manage its own credit risk. The Firm uses the same credit risk management procedures as those used for its traditional lending activities to assess and approve potential credit exposures when entering into derivative transactions.

JPMorgan Chase & Co./2004 Annual Report


The $41 trillionMTM of notional principal of the Firm’s derivative receivables contracts outstanding at December 31, 2004, significantly exceeds the possible credit losses that could arise from such transactions. For most derivative transactions, the notional principal amount does not change hands; it is simply used as a reference to calculate payments. The appropriate measure of current credit risk is, in the Firm’s view, the MTM value of the contract, which represents the cost to replace the contracts at current market rates should the counterparty default. When JPMorgan Chase has more than one transaction outstanding with a counterparty,counter-party, and a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists with that counterparty, the netted MTM exposure, less collateral held, represents, in the Firm’s view, the appropriate measure of current credit risk. At December 31, 2004, the MTM value of derivative receivables (after taking into account the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and the impact of net cash received under credit support annexes to such legally enforceable master netting agreements) was $66 billion. Further, after taking into account $9 billion of other highly liquid collateral held by the Firm, the net current MTM credit exposure was $57 billion.

While useful as a current view of credit exposure, the net MTM value of the derivative receivables does not capture the potential future variability of that credit exposure. To capture the potential future variability of credit exposure, the Firm calculates, on a client-by-client basis, three measures of potential derivatives-related credit loss: Peak, Derivative Risk Equivalent (“DRE”) and Average exposure (“AVG”). These measures all incorporate netting and collateral benefits, where applicable.

Peak exposure to a counterparty is an extreme measure of exposure calculated at a 97.5% confidence level. However, the total potential future credit risk embedded in the Firm’s derivatives portfolio is not the simple sum of all Peak client credit risks. This is because, at the portfolio level, credit risk is reduced by the fact that when offsetting transactions are done with separate counterparties, only one of the two trades can generate a credit loss, even if both counterparties were to default simultaneously. The Firm refers to this effect as market diversification, and the Market-Diversified Peak (“MDP”) measure is a portfolio aggregation of counterparty Peak measures, representing the maximum losses at the 97.5% confidence level that would occur if all counterparties defaulted under any one given market scenario and timeframe.

time frame.

Derivative Risk Equivalent (“DRE”) exposure is a measure that expresses the riskiness of derivative exposure on a basis intended to be equivalent to the riskiness of loan exposures. ThisThe measurement is done by equating the unexpected loss in a derivative counterparty exposure (which takes into consideration both the loss volatility and the credit rating of the counterparty) with the unexpected loss in a loan exposure (which takes into consideration only the credit rating of the counterparty). DRE is a less extreme measure of
potential credit loss than Peak and is the primary measure used by the Firm for credit approval of derivative transactions.

Finally, Average exposure (“AVG”) is a measure of the expected MTM value of the Firm’s derivative receivables at future time periods, including the benefit of collateral. AVG exposure over the total life of the derivative contract is used as the primary metric for pricing purposes and is used to calculate credit capital and the Credit Valuation Adjustment (“CVA”), as further described further below.

Average exposure was $36 billion and $38 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, compared with derivative receivables MTM net of other highly liquid collateral of $44 billion and $57 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The chartgraph below shows the exposure profiles to derivatives over the next 10 years as calculated by the MDP, DRE and AVG metrics. All three measures generally show declining exposure after the first year, if no new trades were added to the portfolio.

(a)68 Excludes $5 billion from the $57 billion of reported derivative receivables MTM net of collateral. The exclusion reflects risk mitigation for exchange traded deals and equity option calls.JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2005 Annual Report


The MTM value of the Firm’s derivative receivables incorporates an adjustment, the CVA, to reflect the credit quality of counterparties. The CVA is based onupon the Firm’s AVG exposure to a counterparty and on the counterparty’s credit spread in the credit derivatives market. The primary components of changes in CVA are credit spreads, new deal activity or unwinds, and changes in the underlying market environment. The Firm believes that active risk management
is essential to controlling the dynamic credit risk in the derivatives portfolio. The Firm risk manages its exposure to changes in CVA by entering into credit derivative transactions, as well as interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and commodity derivativesderivative transactions. The MTM value of the Firm’s derivative payables does not incorporate a valuation adjustment to reflect JPMorgan Chase’s credit quality.

The Firm actively pursues the use of collateral agreements to mitigate counterparty credit risk in derivatives. The percentage of the Firm’s derivatives transactions subject to collateral agreements increased slightly, to 79%81% as of December 31, 2004,2005, from 78%79% at December 31, 2003.2004.

respectively.

Certain derivative and collateral agreements include provisions that require the counterparty and/or the Firm, upon specified downgrades in their respective credit ratings, to post collateral for the benefit of the other party. As of December 31, 2004,2005, the impact of a single-notch ratings downgrade to JPMorgan Chase Bank, from its current rating of AA- to A+, would have been an additional $1.5$1.4 billion of collateral posted by the Firm; the impact of a six-notch ratings downgrade (from AA- to BBB-) would have been $3.9$3.8 billion of additional collateral. Certain derivative contracts also provide for termination of the contract, generally upon a downgrade of either the Firm or the counterparty, at the then-existing MTM value of the derivative contracts.

Credit portfolio management activity

In managing its wholesale credit exposure, the Firm purchases single-name and portfolio credit derivatives. As of December 31, 2004, the notional outstanding amount of protection bought via single-name and portfolio credit derivatives was $35 billion and $2 billion, respectively. The Firm also diversifies its exposures by providing (i.e., selling) credit protection, which increases exposure to industries or clients where the Firm has little or no client-related exposure. This activity is not material to the Firm’s overall credit exposure.

JPMorgan Chase has limited counterparty exposure as a result of credit derivatives transactions. Of the $50 billion of total Derivative receivables at December 31, 2005, approximately $4 billion, or 8%, was associated with credit derivatives, before the benefit of liquid securities collateral.
Dealer/client
At December 31, 2005, the total notional amount of protection purchased and sold in the dealer/client business increased $1.2 trillion from year-end 2004 as a result of increased trade volume in the market. This business has a mismatch between the total notional amounts of protection purchased and sold. However, in the Firm’s view, the risk positions are largely matched when securities used to risk manage certain derivative positions are taken into consideration and the notional amounts are adjusted to a duration-based equivalent basis or to reflect different degrees of subordination in tranched structures.

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

activities, causes earnings volatility that is not representative, in the Firm’s view, of the true changes in value of the Firm’s overall credit exposure. The MTM treatment of bothrelated to the Firm’s credit derivatives used for managing credit exposure, (“short” credit positions) andas well as the mark related to the CVA, which reflects the credit quality of derivatives counterparty exposure, (“long” credit positions), provides some natural offset.

In 2004, there were $44 million of losses in Trading revenue from credit portfolio management activities. The losses consisted of $297 million related to credit derivatives used to manage the Firm’s credit exposure; of this amount, $234 million was associated with credit derivatives used to manage accrual lending activities, and $63 million with credit derivatives used to manage the derivatives portfolio. The losses were largely due to the ongoing cost of buying credit protection and some additional impact due to the global tightening of credit spreads. These losses were partially offset by $253 million of gains from a decreaseare included in the MTM value of the CVA, a result of the same factors.

The 2003 credit portfolio management activity resulted in $191 million of losses included in Trading revenue. These losses included $746 million related to credit derivatives that were used to risk manage the Firm’s credit exposure; approximately $504 million of this amount was associated with credit derivatives used to manage accrual lending activities, and the remainder was primarily related to credit derivatives used to manage the credit risk of MTM derivative receivables. The losses were generally driven by an overall global tightening of credit spreads. The $746 million loss was partially offset by $555 million of trading revenue gains, primarily related to the decrease in the MTM value of the CVA due to credit spread tightening.

The Firm also actively manages its wholesale credit exposure through loan and commitment sales. During 20042005 and 2003,2004, the Firm sold $5.9$4.0 billion and $5.2$5.9 billion of loans and commitments, respectively, resulting inrecognizing gains of $76 million and losses of $8 million in 2005 and $54 million, respectively, in connection with the management of its wholesale credit exposure.2004, respectively. These activities are not related to the Firm’s securitization activities, which are undertaken for liquidity and balance sheet management purposes. For a further discussion of securitization activity, see Note 13 on pages 103-106108–111 of this Annual Report.

Dealer/client activity

As of December 31, 2004, the total notional amounts of protection purchased and sold by the dealer business were $501 billion and $532 billion, respectively. The mismatch between these notional amounts is attributable to the Firm selling protection on large, diversified, predominantly investment-grade portfolios (including the most senior tranches) and then risk managing these positions by buying protection on the more subordinated tranches of the same portfolios. In addition, the Firm may use securities to risk manage certain derivative positions. Consequently, while there is a mismatch in notional amounts of credit derivatives, in the Firm’s view, the risk positions are largely matched.

Lending-related commitments

The contractual amount of wholesale lending-related commitments was $324 billion at December 31, 2005, compared with $309 billion at December 31, 2004, compared with $211 billion at December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to the Merger.2004. In the Firm’s view, the total contractual amount of these instruments is not representative of the Firm’s actual credit risk exposure or funding requirements. In determining the amount of credit risk exposure the Firm has to wholesale lending-related commitments, which is used as the basis for allocating credit risk capital to these instruments, the Firm has established a “loan-equivalent” amount for each commitment; this amount represents the portion of the unused commitment or other contingent exposure that is expected, based onupon average portfolio historical experience, to become outstanding in the event of a default by an obligor. The loan equivalent amount of the loan equivalentsFirm’s lending-related commitments as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, was $178 billion and 2003, was $162 billion, and $104 billion, respectively.

Country exposure
The Firm has a comprehensive process for measuring and managing its exposures and risk in emerging markets countries – countries–defined as those countries potentially vulnerable to sovereign events. Exposures to a country include all credit-related lending, trading, and investment activities, whether cross-border or locally funded. Exposure amounts are adjusted for credit enhancements (e.g., guarantees and letters of credit) provided by third parties located outside the country, if the enhancements fully cover the country risk as well as the business risk. As of December 31, 2004,2005, the Firm’s exposure to any individual emerging markets country was not material. In addition to monitoring country exposures, the Firm uses stress tests to measure and manage the risk of extreme loss associated with sovereign crises.

This could include the direction and level of loan delinquencies, changes in consumer behavior, bankruptcy trends, portfolio seasoning, interest rate movements and portfolio mix, among other factors. While current economic and credit data suggest that consumer credit quality will not significantly deteriorate, significant deterioration in the general economy could materially change these expectations.

Allowance for credit losses

 

JPMorgan Chase’s allowance for credit losses is intended to cover probable credit losses, including losses where the asset is not specifically identified or the size of the loss has not been fully determined. At least quarterly, the allowance for credit losses is reviewed by the Chief Risk Officer and the Deputy Chief Risk Officer of the Firm, and is discussed withthe Risk Policy Committee, a risk subgroup of the Operating Committee, and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Firm. The allowance is reviewed relative to the risk profile of the Firm’s credit portfolio and current economic conditions. The allowanceconditions and is adjusted based on that review if, in management’s judgment, changes
are warranted. The allowance
includes an asset-specific component and a formula-based component, the latter of which consists of a statistical calculation and adjustments to the statistical calculation. For further discussion of the components of the Allowance for credit losses, see Critical accounting estimates used by the Firm on page 7781 and Note 12 on pages 102-103107–108 of this Annual Report. At December 31, 2004,2005, management deemed the allowance for credit losses to be sufficient to absorb losses that are inherent in the portfolio, including losses that are not specifically identified or for which the size of the loss has not yet been fully determined.

The formula-based lossallowance for lending-related commitments is based onupon a statistical calculation. There is no adjustment to the statistical calculation for lending-related commitments.

Overall:The Allowance for credit losses increased by $3.0 billion from December 31, 2003, to December 31, 2004, primarily driven by the Merger. Adjustments required to conform to the combined Firm’s allowance methodology, and alignment of accounting practices related to the seller’s interest in credit card securitizations, resulted in a net increase in the Provision for credit losses of $858 million. See Note 12 on pages 102-103 of this Annual Report.

Loans:The allowance has two components: asset-specific and formula-based. As of December 31, 2004, management deemed the allowance to be appropriate. Excluding loans held for sale, the allowance represented 1.94% of loans at December 31, 2004, compared with 2.33% at year-end 2003.

The wholesale component of the allowance was $3.1 billion as of December 31, 2004, an increase from year-end 2003, primarily due to the Merger. The wholesale allowance also reflected a reduction of $103 million in the provision as a result of conforming the combined Firm’s allowance methodology.

The consumer component of the allowance was $4.2 billion as of December 31, 2004, an increase from December 31, 2003, primarily attributable to the Merger and the decertification of Bank One’s seller’s retained interest in credit card securitizations. Adjustments required to conform to the combined Firm’s allowance methodology included a reduction of $192 million in the Allowance for loan losses within RFS. Conforming the methodology within Card Services reduced the Allowance for loan losses by $62 million.

Additionally,

The reduction in Card Services, $128 million inthe allowance for accrued fees and finance chargescredit losses of $322 million from December 31, 2004, was reclassified fromdriven primarily by continued credit strength in the Allowancewholesale businesses, partially offset by an increase in the consumer allowance as a result of the special provision taken in the third quarter of 2005 due to Hurricane Katrina.
Excluding held-for-sale loans, the allowance for loan losses to Loans.

At the timerepresented 1.84% of loans at December 31, 2005, compared with 1.94% at December 31, 2004. The wholesale component of the Merger, Bank One’s seller’s interest inallowance decreased to $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2005, from $3.1 billion at year-end 2004, due to strong credit card securitizations was in a certificated or security form and recorded at fair value. Subsequently, a decision was made to decertificate these assets, which resulted in a reclassificationquality across all wholesale businesses. Excluding the special provision

for Hurricane Katrina, the consumer component of the seller’s interestallowance would have been $4.3 billion as of December 31, 2005, a slight increase from Available-for-sale securities to Loans, at fair value, with no allowance for credit losses. Generally, as the underlying credit card receivables represented by the seller’s interest were paid off, customers continued to use their credit cards and originate new receivables, which were then recorded as Loans at historical cost. As these new loans aged, it was necessary to establish an Allowance for credit losses consistent with the Firm’s credit policies. During the second half of 2004, approximately $1.4 billion of the Allowance for loan losses was established through the provision associated with newly originated receivables related to the seller’s interest.

December 31, 2004.

Lending-related commitments:To provide for the risk of loss inherent in the Firm’s process of extending credit, management also computes an asset-specific component and a formula-based component for wholesale lending-related commitments. These are computed using a methodology similar to that used for the wholesale loan portfolio, modified for expected maturities and probabilities of drawdown. This allowance, which is reported in Other liabilities, was $400 million and $492 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and reflected the impact of the Merger, partially offset by a $227 million benefit as a result of conforming the combined Firm’s allowance methodology. The allowance was $324 million at December 31, 2003.

respectively.


Provision for credit losses

For a discussion of the reported Provision for credit losses, see page 2329 of this Annual Report. The managed provision for credit losses which reflects credit card securitizations, increased primarily due tosecuritizations. At December 31, 2005, securitized credit card outstandings were relatively flat compared with the Merger.prior year-end.

Market risk management

 

Market risk representsis the potential lossexposure to an adverse change in the market value of portfolios and financial instruments caused by adverse movementsa change in market variables, such as interest and foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, and equity and commodity prices.prices or rates.

Market risk management
Market Risk Management (“MRM”) is aan independent corporate risk governance function independent of the businesses that identifies, measures, monitors, and controls market risk. It seeks to

facilitate efficient risk/return decisions and to reduce volatility in operating performance. It strives to make the Firm’s market risk profile transparent to senior management, the Board of Directors and regulators.

The chart below depicts Market Risk Management is overseen by the MRM organizational structure and describes the responsibilitiesChief Risk Officer, a member of the groups within MRM.



There are also groups that report toFirm’s Operating Committee. MRM’s governance structure consists of the Chief Financial Officer with some responsibility for market risk-related activities. For example, withinfollowing primary functions:

Establishment of a comprehensive market risk policy framework
Independent measurement, monitoring and control of business segment market risk
Definition, approval and monitoring of limits
Performance of stress testing and qualitative risk assessments
In addition, the Finance area, theFirm’s business segments have valuation control functions that are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the valuations of positions that expose the Firm to market risk.

These groups report primarily into Finance.

Risk identification and classification

MRM works in partnership with the business segments to identify market risks throughout the Firm and to refine and monitor market risk policies and procedures. All business segments are responsible for comprehensive identification and verification of market risks within their units. Risk-taking businesses have Middle Office functions that act independently from trading personnel and are responsible for verifying risk exposures that the business takes. In addition to providing independent oversight for market risk arising from the business segments, MRM also is also responsible for identifying exposures which may not be large within individual business segments, but which may be large for the Firm in aggregate. WeeklyRegular meetings are held between MRM and the heads of risk-taking businesses to discuss and decide on risk exposures in the context of the market environment and client flows.

Positions that expose the Firm to market risk arecan be classified into two categories: trading and nontrading risk. Trading risk includes positions that are held for trading purposes as a principal orby the Firm as part of a business segment or unit whose main business strategy is to trade or make markets. Unrealized gains and losses in these positions are generally reported in trading revenue. Nontrading risk includes

securities held for longer term investment, mortgage servicing rights, and securities and derivatives used to manage the Firm’s asset/liability exposures. In most cases, unrealizedUnrealized gains and losses in these positions are accounted for at fair value, with the gains and lossesgenerally not reported in Net income or Other comprehensive income.

Trading revenue.

Trading risk
Fixed income:Fixed income risk (which includes interest rate risk and credit spread risk) involves the potential decline in Netnet income or financial condition due to adverse changes in market interest rates, which may result in changes to NII, securities valuations, and other interest-sensitive revenues and expenses.whether arising from client activities or proprietary positions taken by the Firm.

Foreign exchange, equities commodities and other:Thesecommodities risks involve the potential decline in Netnet income to the Firm due to adverse changes in foreign exchange, equities or commodities markets, whether due toarising from client activities or proprietary positions taken by the Firm, or due to a decrease in the level of client activity. Other risks include passive long-term investments in numerous hedge funds that may have exposure to fixed income, foreign exchange, equity and commodity risk within their portfolio risk structures.

Firm.

Nontrading risk
TheNontrading risk arises from execution of the Firm’s core business strategies, the delivery of products and services to its customers, and the discretionary positions the Firm undertakes to risk-manage structuralexposures.
These exposures give rise to interest rate risk in the nontrading activities of the Firm.



70JPMorgan Chase & Co./2004 Annual Report


This exposure can result from a variety of factors, including differences in the timing among the maturity or re-pricingrepricing of assets, liabilities and off-balanceoff–balance sheet instruments. Changes in the level and shape of market interest rate curves also may also create interest rate risk, since the re-pricingrepricing characteristics of the Firm’s assets do not necessarily match those of its liabilities. The Firm also is also exposed to basis risk, which is the difference in re-pricing characteristics of two floating rate indices, such as the prime rate and 3-month LIBOR. In addition, some of the Firm’s products have embedded optionality that impact pricing and balance levels.

The Firm manages interest rate exposure related to its assets and liabilities on a consolidated, corporate-wide basis. Business units transfer their interest rate risk to Treasury through a transfer-pricing system, which takes into account the elements of interest rate exposure that can be risk managed in financial markets. These elements include asset and liability balances and contractual rates of interest, contractual principal payment schedules, expected prepayment experience, interest rate reset dates and maturities, rate indices used for re-pricing, and any interest rate ceilings or floors for adjustable rate products. All transfer-pricing assumptions are reviewed by Treasury.

balances.

The Firm’s mortgage banking activities also give rise to complex interest rate risks. The interest rate exposure from the Firm’s mortgage banking activities is a result of changes in the level of interest rates, option and basis risks.risk. Option risk arises primarily from prepayment options embedded in mortgages and changes in the probability of newly-originated mortgage commitments actually closing. Basis risk results from different relative movements between mortgage rates and other interest rates. These risks are managed through programs specific to the different mortgage banking activities. Potential impairment in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and increased amortization levels of MSRs are managed via a risk management program that attempts to offset changes in the fair value of MSRs with changes in the fair value of derivatives and investment securities. A similar approach is used to manage the interest rate risk associated with the Firm’s mortgage origination business.

Risk measurement

Tools used to measure risk
Because no single measure can reflect all aspects of market risk, the Firm uses several measures,various metrics, both statistical and nonstatistical, including:
 StatisticalNonstatistical risk measures
 -
 Value-at-Risk (“VAR”)
 -
Loss advisories
Economic value stress testing
Earnings-at-risk stress testing
 Risk identification for large exposures (“RIFLE”)
Nonstatistical risk measures
Nonstatistical risk measures
     -Economic value stress tests
     -Earnings-at-risk stress tests
     -Other measures of position size and sensitivity to market moves

other than stress testing include net open positions, basis point values, option sensitivities, market values, position concentrations and position turnover. These measures provide granular information on the Firm’s market risk exposure. They are aggregated by line of business and by risk type, and are used for monitoring limits, one-off approvals and tactical control.

Value-at-risk

JPMorgan Chase’s primary statistical risk measure, VAR, gaugesestimates the potential loss from adverse market moves in an ordinary market environment and provides a consistent cross-business measure of risk profiles and levels of risk diversification. VAR is used to comparefor comparing risks across businesses, to monitormonitoring limits, one-off approvals, and as an input to allocate economic capital to the business segments.calculations. VAR provides risk transparency in a normal trading environment.

Each business day the Firm undertakes a comprehensive VAR calculation that includes both its trading and its nontrading activities. VAR for nontrading activities measures the amount of potential change in economic value;fair value of the exposures related to these activities; however, VAR for such activities is not a measure of reported revenue since nontrading activities are generally not marked to market through earnings.


JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2005 Annual Report75


Management’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase’s VAR calculation is highly granular, comprising more than 2.1 million positions and 240,000 pricing series (e.g., securities prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates). For a substantial portion of its exposure, the Firm has implemented full-revaluation VAR, which, management believes, generates the most accurate results.

Chase & Co.

To calculate VAR, the Firm uses historical simulation, which measures risk across instruments and portfolios in a consistent and comparable way. This approach assumes that historical changes in market values are representative of future changes. The simulation is based onupon data for the previous 12 twelve
months.

The Firm calculates VAR using a one-day time horizon and an expected tail loss methodology, which approximates a 99% confidence level. This means the Firm would expect to incur losses greater than that predicted by VAR estimates only once in every 100 trading days, or about 2.5 times a year.

All statistical models involve a degree of uncertainty, depending on the assumptions they employ. The Firm prefers historical simulation, because it involves fewer assumptions about the distribution of portfolio losses than parameter-based methodologies. In addition, the Firm regularly assesses the quality of the market data, since their accuracy is critical to computing VAR. Nevertheless, because VAR is based on historical market data, it may not accurately reflect future risk during environments in which market volatility is changing. In addition, the VAR measure on any particular day may not be indicative of future risk levels, since positions and market conditions may both change over time.

While VAR is a valuable tool for evaluating relative risks and aggregating risks across businesses, it only measures the potential volatility of daily revenues. Profitability and risk levels over longer time periods — a fiscal quarter or a year — may be only loosely related to the average value of VAR over those periods for several reasons. First, while VAR measures potential fluctuations around average daily revenue, the average itself could reflect significant gains or losses; for example, from client revenues that accompany risk-taking activities. Second, large trading revenues may result from positions taken over longer periods of time. For example, a business may maintain an exposure to rising or falling interest rates over a period of weeks or months. If the market exhibits a long-term trend over that time, the business could experience large gains or losses, even though revenue volatility on each individual day may have been small.

The largest contributors to the IB trading VAR in 2004 was fixed income risk. Before portfolio diversification, fixed income risk accounted for roughly 58% of the average IB

IB’s Average Total Trading Portfolio VAR. The diversification effect, which on average reduced the daily average IB Trading Portfolio VAR by $43.6 million in 2004, reflects the fact that the largest losses for different positions and risks do not typically occur at the same time. The risk of a portfolio of positions is therefore usually less than the sum of the risks of the positions themselves. The degree of diversification is determined both by the extent to which different market variables tend to move together and by the extent to which different businesses have similar positions.

Average IB trading and Credit Portfolio VAR decreased to $88 million during 2004 rose to $90.5 million,2005 compared with $69.3$90 million for the same period in 2003.2004.

VAR backtesting
To evaluate the soundness of its VAR model, the Firm conducts daily backtesting of VAR against actualdaily financial results, based on dailyupon market risk-related revenue. Market risk-related revenue is defined as the daily change in value of the mark-to-market trading portfolios plus any trading-related net interest income, brokerage commissions, underwriting fees or other revenue. The Firm’s definition of market risk-related revenue is consistent with the FRB’s implementation of the Basel Committee’s market risk capital rules. Thefollowing histogram below illustrates the daily market risk-related gains and losses for the IB trading businesses for the year ended December 31, 2004.2005. The chart shows that the IB posted market risk-related gains on 224208 out of 261260 days in this period, with 1220 days exceeding $100 million. The inset graph looks at those days on which the IB experienced losses and depicts the amount by which VAR exceeded the actual loss on each of those days. Losses were sustained on 3752 days, with no loss greater than $50$90 million, and with no loss exceeding the VAR measure.

Loss advisories
Loss advisories are tools used to highlight to senior management trading losses above certain levels and are used to initiate discussion of remedies.
Economic value stress testing
While VAR reflects the risk of loss due to unlikely events in normal markets, stress testing captures the Firm’s exposure to unlikely but plausible events in abnormal markets. The Firm conducts economic-value stress tests for both its trading and its nontrading activities using multiple scenarios for both types of activities. Periodically, scenarios are reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the Firm’s risk profile and economic events. Stress testing is equallyas important as VAR in measuring and controlling risk. Stress testing enhances the understanding of the Firm’s risk profile and loss potential, and is used for monitoring limits, one-off approvals and cross-business risk measurement, andas well as an input to economic capital allocation.

Economic-value stress tests measure the potential change in the value of the Firm’s portfolios. Applying economic-value stress tests helps the Firm understand how the economic value of its balance sheet (i.e., not the amounts reported under U.S. GAAP) would change under certain scenarios. The Firm conducts economic-value stress tests for both its trading and its nontrading activities, using the same scenarios for both.

The Firm stress tests its portfolios at least once a month using multiple scenarios. Several macroeconomic event-related scenarios are evaluated across the Firm, with shocks to roughly 10,000 market prices specified for each scenario. Additional scenarios focus on the risks predominant in individual business segments, and include scenarios that focus on the potential for adverse moves in complex portfolios.

Scenarios are derived from either severe historical crises or forward assessment of developing market trends. They are continually reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the Firm’s risk profile and economic events. Stress-test results, trends and explanations are provided each month to the Firm’s executive management and to the lines of business to help them better measure and manage risks to understand event risk-sensitive positions.

The Firm’s stress-test methodology assumes that, during an actual stress event, no management action would be taken to change the risk profile of portfolios. This captures the decreased liquidity that often occurs with abnormal markets and results, in the Firm’s view, in a conservative stress-test result.

Based onupon the Firm’s stress scenarios, the stress test loss (pre-tax) in the IB’s trading portfolio ranged from $469 million to $1.4 billion, and $202 million to $1.2 billion, and $227 million to $895 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and 2003, respectively. (TheThe 2004 results include six months of the combined Firm’s results and six months of heritage JPMorgan Chase results. In addition, the 2003 amounts have been revised to reflect the transfer of Treasury positions from the IB to the Corporate business segment.)

It is important to note that VAR results cannot be directly correlated to stress-test loss results for three reasons. First, stress-test losses are calculated at varying dates each month, while VAR is performed daily and reported for the period-end date. Second, VAR and stress tests are two distinct risk measurements yielding very different loss potentials. Thus, although the same trading portfolios are used for both tests, VAR is based on a distribution of one-day historical losses measured over the most recent one year; in contrast, stress testing subjects the portfolio to more extreme, larger moves over a longer time horizon (e.g., 2-3 weeks). Third, as VAR and stress tests are distinct risk measurements, the impact of portfolio diversification can vary greatly. For VAR, markets can change in patterns over a one-year time horizon, moving from highly correlated to less so; in stress testing, the focus is on a single event and the associated correlations in an extreme market situation. As a result, while VAR over a given time horizon can be lowered by a diversification benefit in the portfolio, this benefit would not necessarily manifest itself in stress-test scenarios, which assume large, coherent moves across all markets.

Management’s discussion and analysis

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

RIFLE

In addition to VAR, JPMorgan Chase employs the Risk Identification for Large Exposures (“RIFLE”) methodology as another statistical risk measure. The Firm requires that all market risk-taking businesses self-assess their risks to unusual and specific events. Individuals who manage risk positions, particularly complex positions, identify potential worst-case losses that could arise from an unusual or specific event, such as a potential tax change, and estimate the probabilities of such losses. Through the Firm’s RIFLE system, this information is then directed to the appropriate level of management, thereby permitting the Firm to identify further earnings vulnerabilities not adequately covered by VAR and stress testing.

Nonstatistical risk measures

Nonstatistical risk measures other than stress testing include net open positions, basis point values, option sensitivities, position concentrations and position turnover. These measures provide additional information on an exposure’s size and the direction in which it is moving. Nonstatistical measures are used for monitoring limits, one-off approvals and tactical control.

Earnings-at-risk stress testing

The VAR and stress-test measures described above illustrate the total economic sensitivity of the Firm’s balance sheet to changes in market variables. The effect of interest rate exposure on reported Net income also is also critical. Interest rate risk exposure in the Firm’s core nontrading business activities (i.e., asset/liability management positions) results from on-on– and off-balanceoff–balance sheet positions. The Firm conducts simulations of changes in NII forfrom its nontrading activities under a variety of interest rate scenarios, which are consistent with the scenarios used for economic-value stress testing. Earnings-at-risk tests measure the potential change in the Firm’s Net interest income over the next 12 months. These testsmonths and highlight exposures to various rate-sensitive factors, such as the rates themselves (e.g., the prime lending rate), pricing strategies on deposits, optionality and changes in product mix. The tests includedinclude forecasted balance sheet changes, such as asset sales and securitizations, as well as prepayment and reinvestment behavior.

JPMorgan Chase’s 12-month pre-tax

Earnings-at-risk also can result from changes in the slope of the yield curve, because the Firm has the ability to lend at fixed rates and borrow at variable or short-term fixed rates. Based upon these scenarios, the Firm’s earnings sensitivity profiles as of December 31, 2004, were as follows:would be affected negatively by a sudden and unanticipated increase in short-term rates without a corresponding increase in long-term rates. Conversely, higher long-term rates generally are beneficial to earnings, particularly when the increase is not accompanied by rising short-term rates.

Operational risk management
 

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed processes or systems, human factors or external events.

Overview
Operational risk is inherent in each of the Firm’s businesses and support activities. Operational risk can manifest itself in various ways, including errors, business interruptions, inappropriate behavior of employees and vendors that do not perform in accordance with outsourcing arrangements. These events can potentially result in financial losses and other damage to the Firm, including reputational harm.

To monitor and control operational risk, the Firm maintains a system of comprehensive policies and a control framework designed to provide a sound and well-controlled operational environment. The goal is to keep operational risk at appropriate levels, in light of the Firm’s financial strength, the characteristics of its businesses, the markets in which it operates, and the competitive and regulatory environment to which it is subject. Notwithstanding these control measures, the Firm incurs operational losses.

The Firm’s approach to operational risk management is intended to mitigate such losses by supplementing the traditional control-based approachapproaches to operational risk with risk measures, tools and disciplines that are risk-specific, consistently applied and utilized firmwide. Key themes are transparency of information, escalation of key issues and accountability for issue resolution.

During 2005, the Firm substantially completed the implementation of Phoenix, a new internally-designed operational risk software tool. Phoenix integrates the individual components of the operational risk management framework into a unified, web-based tool. Phoenix is intended to enable the Firm to enhance its reporting and analysis of operational risk data by enabling risk identification, measurement, monitoring, reporting and analysis to be done in an integrated manner, thereby enabling efficiencies in the Firm’s management of its operational risk.
For purposes of identification, monitoring, reporting and analysis, the Firm categorizes operational risk events as follows:
Client service and selection
Business practices
Fraud, theft and malice
Execution, delivery and process management
Employee disputes
Disasters and public safety
Technology and infrastructure failures
Risk identification and measurement
Risk identification is the recognition of the operational risk events that management believes may give rise to operational losses.

In 2004,2005, JPMorgan Chase redesignedsubstantially completed a multi-year effort to redesign the underlying architecture of its firmwide self-assessment process, and began implementing the process throughout the heritage Bank One business units.process. The goal of the self-assessment process is for each business to identify the key operational risks specific to its environment and assess the degree to which it maintains appropriate controls. Action plans are developed for control issues identified, and businesses are held accountable for tracking and resolving these issues on a timely basis.

All businesses were required to perform semiannual self-assessments in 2004, which were completed by the businesses through the use of software applications developed by the Firm.2005. Going forward, the Firm will utilize the self-assessment process as a dynamic risk management tool.

Risk monitoring
The Firm has a process for monitoring operational risk-event data, permitting analysis of errors and losses as well as trends. Such analysis, performed both at a line-of-businessline of business level and by risk eventrisk-event type, enables identification of the causes associated with risk events faced by the businesses. Where available, the internal data can be supplemented with external data for comparative analysis with industry patterns. The data reported will enable the Firm to back-test against self-assessment results.

Risk reporting and analysis
Operational risk management reports provide timely and accurate information, to the lines of business and senior management, including information about actual operational loss levels and self-assessment results.results, to the lines of business and senior management. The purpose of these reports is to enable management to maintain operational risk at appropriate levels within each line of business, to escalate issues and to provide consistent data aggregation across the Firm’s businessbusinesses and support areas.

During 2004, the Firm implemented Phoenix, a new internally-designed operational risk architecture model. Phoenix integrates the individual components of the operational risk management framework into a unified, web-based tool. When fully implemented, Phoenix will enable the Firm to enhance its reporting and analysis of operational risk data, leading to improved risk management and financial performance. Phoenix will also facilitate the ability of businesses to leverage existing processes to comply with risk management-related regulatory requirements thereby leading to increased efficiencies in the Firm’s management of operational risk.

For purposes of reporting and analysis, the Firm categorizes operational risk events as follows:
Client service and selection
Business practices
Fraud, theft and malice
Execution, delivery and process management
Employee disputes
Disasters and public safety
Technology and infrastructure failures

Audit alignment
Internal Audit utilizes a risk-based program of audit coverage to provide an independent assessment of the design and effectiveness of key controls over the Firm’s operations, regulatory compliance and reporting. Internal Audit partners with business management and members of the control community in providing guidance on the operational risk framework and reviewsreviewing the effectiveness and accuracy of the business self-assessment process as part of its business unit audits.

Management’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Reputation and fiduciary risk management
 

A firm’s success depends not only on its prudent management of liquidity, credit, market and operational andrisks that are part of its business risks, but equally on the maintenance among many constituents clients, investors, regulators, as well as the general public of a reputation for business practices of the highest quality.

Attention to reputation has always been a key aspect of the Firm’s practices, and maintenance of reputation is the responsibility of everyone at the Firm. JPMorgan Chase bolsters this individual responsibility in many ways:ways, including through the Firm’s Code of Conduct, training, maintaining adherence to policies and procedures and oversight functions that approve transactions. These oversight functions include a Conflicts Office, which examines wholesale transactions with the potential to create conflicts of interest or role for the Firm.

Policy review office
The Firm also has an additionala specific structure to address certain transactions with clients, especially complex derivatives and structured finance transactions, that have the potential to adversely affect its reputation. This structure reinforces the Firm’s procedures for examining transactions in terms of appropriateness, ethical issues and reputational risk, and it intensifies the Firm’s scrutiny of the purpose and effect of its transactions from the client’s point of view, with the goal that these transactions are not be used to mislead investors or others. The structure operates at three levels: as part of every business’sbusiness’ transaction approval process; through review by regional Policy ReviewReputation Risk Committees; and through oversight by the Policy Review Office.

Primary responsibility for adherence to the policies and procedures designed to address reputation risk lies with the business units conducting the transactions in question. The Firm’s transaction approval process requires review and sign-off from, among others, internal legal/compliance, conflicts, tax and accounting groups. Transactions involving an SPE established by the Firm receive particular scrutiny intended to ensure that every such entity is properly approved, documented, monitored and controlled.

Business units are also required to submit to regional Policy ReviewReputation Risk Committees proposed transactions that may heightengive rise to heightened reputation risk particularly a

client’s motivation and its intended financial disclosure of the transaction. The committees may approve, reject or require further clarification on or changes to the transactions. The members of these committees are senior representatives of the business and support units in the region. The committees may escalate transaction review to the Policy Review Office.

The Policy Review Office is the most senior approval level for client transactions involving reputation risk issues. The mandate of the Office is to opine on specific transactions brought by the Regional Committees and consider changes in policies or practices relating to reputation risk. The head of the officeOffice consults with the Firm’s most senior executives on specific topics and provides regular updates. Aside from governance and guidance on specific transactions, the objective of the policy review process is to reinforce a culture, through a “case study” approach, that ensures that all employees, regardless of seniority, understand the basic principles of reputation risk control and can recognize and address issues as they arise.

In 2006, this structure, which until now has been focused primarily on Investment Bank activities, will be expanded to include the activities of Commercial Banking and the Private Bank. These lines of business will implement training and review procedures similar to those in the Investment Bank and their activities also will be subject to the oversight of the Policy Review Office.
Fiduciary risk management
The Firm maintains risk management committees within each of its linesline of business that include in their mandate the oversight of the legal, reputational and, fiduciary-relatedwhere appropriate, fiduciary risks in their businesses that may produce significant losses or reputational damage. The Fiduciary Risk Management function works with the line-of-businessrelevant line of business risk committees to ensure that businesses providing investment or risk management products or services that give rise to fiduciary duties to clients perform at the appropriate standard relative to their fiduciary relationship with a client, whether it be fiduciary or non-fiduciary in nature.client.

In this way, the relevant line-of-business risk committees, together with the Fiduciary Risk Management function, provide oversight of the Firm’s efforts to monitor, measure and control the risks that may arise in the delivery of suchthe products or services to clients that give rise to such duties, as well as those stemming from any of the Firm’s fiduciary responsibilities undertaken on behalf of employees.

to employees under the Firm’s various employee benefit plans.


Private equity risk management
 

Risk management
The Firm makes direct principal investments in private equity. The illiquid nature and long-term holding period associated with these investments differentiates private equity risk from the risk of positions held in the trading portfolios. The Firm’s approach to managing private equity business employs processesrisk is consistent with the Firm’s general risk governance structure. Controls are in place establishing target levels for risk measurementtotal and annual investment in order to control the overall size of the portfolio. Industry and geographic concentration limits are in place
intended to ensure diversification of the portfolio, and periodic reviews are performed on the portfolio to substantiate the valuations of the investments. The Valuation Control Group within the Finance area is responsible for reviewing the accuracy of the carrying values of private equity risk that are similar to those used for other businesses within the Firm. The processes are coordinated with the Firm’s overall approach to market and concentration risk.investments held by Private equity risk is initially monitored through the use of industry and geographic limits. Additionally, to manage the pace of new investments, a ceiling on the amount of annual private equity investment activity has been established.Equity. At December 31, 2004,2005, the carrying value of the private equity portfolioportfolios of JPMorgan Partners and ONE Equity Partners businesses was $7.5 billion.

Private Equity’s publicly-held securities create a significant exposure to general declines$6.2 billion, of which $479 million represented positions traded in the equity markets. Initially to gauge that risk, VAR and stress-test exposures are calculated in the same way as they are for the Firm’s trading

and nontrading portfolios. However, because VAR assumes that positions can be exited in a normal market, JPMorgan Chase believes that the VAR for publicly-held securities does not necessarily represent the true value-at-risk for these holdings nor is it indicative of the loss potential for these holdings, due to the fact that most of the positions are subject to sale restrictions and, often, represent significant concentration of ownership. Accordingly, Private Equity management undertakes frequent reviews of its publicly-held securities investments as part of a disciplined approach to sales and risk management issues. Risk management programs are limited but are considered when practical and as circumstances dictate. Over time, the Firm may change the nature and type of Private equity risk management programs it enters into.

Critical accounting estimates used by the Firm
 

JPMorgan Chase’s accounting policies and use of estimates are integral to understanding its reported results. The Firm’s most complex accounting estimates require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets and liabilities. The Firm has established detailed policies and control procedures intended to ensure that valuation methods, including any judgments made as part of such methods, are well controlled, independently reviewed and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in ana controlled and appropriate manner. The Firm believes its estimates for determining the valuation of its assets and liabilities are appropriate. The following is a brief description of the Firm’s critical accounting estimates involving significant valuation judgments.

Allowance for credit losses
JPMorgan Chase’s Allowanceallowance for credit losses covers the wholesale and consumer loan portfolios as well as the Firm’s portfolio of wholesale lending-related commitments. The Allowance for loan losses is intended to adjust the value of the Firm’s loan assets for probable credit losses as of the balance sheet date. For a further discussion of the methodologies used in establishing the Firm’s Allowance for credit losses, see Note 12 on pages 102-103107–108 of this Annual Report.

Wholesale loans and lending-related commitments
The methodology for calculating both the Allowance for loan losses and the Allowance for lending-related commitments involves significant judgment. First and foremost, it involves the early identification of credits that are deteriorating. Second, it involves management judgment to derive loss factors. Third, it involves management judgment to evaluate certain macroeconomic factors, underwriting standards, and other relevant internal and external factors affecting the credit quality of the current portfolio and to refine loss factors to better reflect these conditions.

The Firm uses a risk rating system to determine the credit quality of its wholesale loans. Wholesale loans are reviewed for information affecting the obligor’s ability to fulfill its obligations. In assessing the risk rating of a particular loan, among the factors considered include the obligor’s debt capacity and financial flexibility, the level of the obligor’s earnings, the amount and sources for repayment, the level and nature of contingencies, management strength, and the industry and geography in which the obligor operates. These factors are based onupon an evaluation of historical and current information, and involve subjective assessment and interpretation. Emphasizing one factor over another, or considering additional factors that may be relevant in determining the risk rating of a particular loan but which are not currently an explicit part of the Firm’s methodology, could impact the risk rating assigned by the Firm to that loan.

Management applies its judgment to derive loss factors associated with each credit facility. These loss factors are determined by facility structure, collateral and type of obligor. Wherever possible, the Firm uses independent, verifiable data or the Firm’s own historical loss experience in its models for estimating these loss factors. Many factors can affect management’s estimates of loss, including volatility of loss given default, probability of default and rating migrations. Judgment is applied to determine whether the loss given default should be calculated as an average over the entire credit cycle or at a particular point in the credit cycle. The application of different loss given default fac-

torsfactors would change the amount of the Allowance for credit losses determined appropriate by the Firm. Similarly, there are judgments as to which external
data on probability of default should be used and when they should be used. Choosing data that are not reflective of the Firm’s specific loan portfolio characteristics could also affect loss estimates.

Management also applies its judgment to adjust the loss factors derived, taking into consideration model imprecision, external factors and economic events that have occurred but are not yet reflected in the loss factors. The resultant adjustments to the statistical calculation of losses on the performing portfolio are determined by creating estimated ranges using historical experience of both loss given default and probability of default. Factors related to concentrated and deteriorating industries are also incorporated where relevant. The estimated ranges and the determination of the appropriate point within the range are based upon management’s view of uncertainties that relate to current macroeconomic and political conditions, quality of underwriting standards and other relevant internal and external factors affecting the credit quality of the current portfolio. The adjustment to the statistical calculation for the wholesale loan portfolio for the period ended December 31, 2004,2005, was $990$621 million, the maximum amounthigher-end within the range, based onupon management’s assessment of current economic conditions.

Consumer loans
For scored loans (generallyin the consumer lines of business),business, loss is primarily determined by applying statistical loss factors and other risk indicators to pools of loans by asset type. These loss estimates are sensitive to changes in delinquency status, credit bureau scores, the realizable value of collateral and other risk factors.

Adjustments to the statistical calculation are accomplished in part by analyzing the historical loss experience for each major product segment. Management analyzes the range of credit loss experienced for each major portfolio segment, taking into account economic cycles, portfolio seasoning and underwriting criteria, and then formulates a range that incorporates relevant risk factors that impact overall credit performance. The recorded adjustment to the statistical calculation for the period ended December 31, 20042005, was $1.0$1.2 billion, based onupon management’s assessment of current economic conditions.

Fair value of financial instruments
A portion of JPMorgan Chase’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, including trading assets and liabilities, AFS securities and private equity investments. Held-for-sale loans, and mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and commodities inventory are carried at the lower of fair value or cost. At December 31, 2004,2005, approximately $417$386 billion of the Firm’s assets were recorded at fair value.

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The majority of the Firm’s assets reported at fair value are based onupon quoted market prices or on internally developed models that utilize independently sourced market parameters, including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates.

The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market parameters. For financial instruments that are actively traded and have quoted market prices or parameters readily available,

Management’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

there is little to nolittle-to-no subjectivity in determining fair value. When observable market prices and parameters do not exist, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. The valuation process takes into consideration



JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2005 Annual Report81


Management’s discussion and analysis
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

factors such as liquidity and concentration concerns and, for the derivatives portfolio, counterparty credit risk (see the discussion of CVA on page 6370 of this Annual Report). For example, there is often limited market data to rely on when estimating the fair value of a large or aged position. Similarly, judgment must be applied in estimating prices for less readily observable external parameters. Finally, other factors such as model assumptions, market dislocations and unexpected correlations can affect estimates of fair value. Imprecision in estimating these factors can impact the amount of revenue or loss recorded for a particular position.

Trading and available-for-sale portfolios
Substantially all of the Firm’s securities held for trading and investment purposes (“long” positions) and securities that the Firm has sold to other parties but does not own (“short” positions) are valued based onupon quoted market prices. However, certain securities are less actively traded and, therefore, are not always able to be valued based onupon quoted market prices. The determination of their fair value requires management judgment, as this determination may require benchmarking to similar instruments or analyzing default and recovery rates. Examples include certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and high-yield debt securities.

As few derivative contracts are listed on an exchange, the majority of the Firm’s derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters that is, parameters that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources, including industry-pricing services. Certain derivatives, however, are valued based onupon models with significant unobservable market parameters that is, parameters that maymust be estimated and are, therefore, subject to management judgment to substantiate the model valuation. These instruments are normally either less actively traded or trade activity is one-way. Examples include long-dated interest rate or currency swaps, where swap rates may be unobservable for longer maturities, and certain credit products, where correlation and recovery rates are unobservable. Due to the lack of observable market data, the Firm defers the initial trading profit for these financial instruments. The deferred profit is recognized in Trading revenue on a systematic basis and when observable market data becomes available. ManagementManagement’s judgment also includes recording fair value adjustments (i.e., reductions) to model valuations to account for parameter uncertainty when valuing complex or less actively traded derivative transactions. The following table summarizes the Firm’s trading and available-for-sale portfolios by valuation methodology at December 31, 2004:

To ensure that the valuations are appropriate, the Firm has various controls in place. These include: an independent review and approval of valuation models; detailed review and explanation for profit and loss analyzed daily and over time; decomposing the model valuations for certain structured derivative instruments into their components and benchmarking valuations, where possible, to similar products; and validating valuation estimates through actual cash settlement. As markets and products develop and the pricing for certain derivative products becomes more transparent, the Firm refines its valuation methodologies. The Valuation Control Group within the Finance area, a group independent of the risk-taking function, is responsible for reviewing the accuracy of the valuations of positions taken within the Investment Bank.

For a discussion of market risk management, including the model review process, see Market risk management on pages 70-7475–78 of this Annual Report. For further details regarding the Firm’s valuation methodologies, see Note 29 on pages 121-124126–128 of this Annual Report.

Loans held-for-sale

The fair value of loans in the held-for-sale portfolio is generally based onupon observable market prices of similar instruments, including bonds, credit derivatives and loans with similar characteristics. If market prices are not available, fair value is based onupon the estimated cash flows adjusted for credit risk that is discounted using a rate appropriate for each maturity that incorporates the effects of interest rate changes.

Commodities inventory
The majority of commodities inventory includes bullion and base metals where fair value is determined by reference to prices in highly active and liquid markets. The fair value of other commodities inventory is determined primarily using prices and data derived from less liquid and developing markets where the underlying commodities are traded.
Private equity investments
Valuation of private investments held primarily by the Private Equity business within Corporate requires significant management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, inherent lack of liquidity and the long-term nature of such assets. Private investments are initially valued based onupon cost. The carrying values of private investments are adjusted from cost to reflect both positive and negative changes evidenced by financing events with third-party capital providers. In addition, these investments are subject to ongoing

impairment reviews by Private Equity’s senior investment professionals. A variety of factors are reviewed and monitored to assess impairment including, but not limited to, operating performance and future expectations of the particular portfolio investment, industry valuations of comparable public companies, changes in market outlook and the third-party financing environment over time. The Valuation Control Group within the Finance area is responsible for reviewing the accuracy of the carrying values of private investments held by Private Equity. For additional information about private equity investments,

MSRs and certain other retained interests in securitizations
MSRs and certain other retained interests from securitization activities do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. For example, sales of MSRs do occur, but the precise terms and conditions are typically not readily available. Accordingly, the Firm estimates the fair value of MSRs and certain other retained interests in securitizations using a discounted future cash flow model. (DCF) models.
For MSRs, the model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees and prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenues, costs to service and other economic factors. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company began utilizing an option adjusted spread (“OAS”) valuation approach when determining the fair value of MSRs. This approach, when used in conjunction with the Firm’s proprietary prepayment model, projects MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios, which are then discounted at risk-adjusted rates, to estimate an expected fair value of the MSRs. The OAS valuation approach is expected to provide improved estimates of fair value. The initial valuation of MSRs under OAS did not have a material impact to the Firm’s financial statements.
For certain other retained interests in securitizations (such as interest-onlyinterest only strips), thea single interest rate path DCF model is used and generally includes assumptions based on projections ofupon projected finance charges related to the securitized assets, estimated net credit losses, average life,prepayment assumptions, and contractual interest paid to the third-party investors. Changes in the assumptions used may have a significant impact on the Firm’s valuation of retained interests.
For both MSRs and certain other retained interests in securitizations, the Firm compares its fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data where available and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience. Management believes that the assumptions used to estimate fair values are supportable and related assumptions utilized in the models are comparable to those used by other market participants. reasonable.
For a further discussion of the most significant assumptions used to value retained interests in securitizations and MSRs, as well as the applicable stress tests for those assumptions, see Notes 13 and 15 on pages 103-106108–111 and 109-111,114–116, respectively, of this Annual Report.

Goodwill impairment

Under SFAS 142, goodwill must be allocated to reporting units and tested for impairment. The Firm tests goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. Impairment testing is performed at the reporting-unit level (which is generally one level below the six major business segments identified in Note 31 on pages 126-127130–131 of this Annual Report, plus Private Equity which is included in Corporate). The first part of the test is a comparison, at the reporting unit level, of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, then the second part of the test is needed to measure the amount of potential goodwill impairment. The implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill is calculated and compared to the carrying amount of goodwill recorded in the Firm’s financial records. If the carrying value of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, then the Firm would recognize an impairment loss in the amount of the difference, which would be recorded as a charge against Net income.

The fair values of the reporting units are determined using discounted cash flow models based onupon each reporting unit’s internal forecasts. In addition, analysis using market-based trading and transaction multiples, where available, are used to assess the reasonableness of the valuations derived from the discounted cash flow models.

Goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 20042005 or December 31, 2003,2004, nor was any goodwill written off due to impairment during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 2003 and 2002.2003. See Note 15 on page 109114 of this Annual Report for additional information related to the nature and accounting for goodwill and the carrying values of goodwill by major business segment.

Nonexchange-traded commodity contracts at fair value

In the normal course of business, JPMorgan Chase trades nonexchange-traded commodity contracts. To determine the fair value of these contracts, the Firm uses various fair value estimation techniques, which are primarily based on internal models with significant observable market parameters. The Firm’s nonexchange-traded commodity contracts are primarily energy-related contracts.

Accounting and reporting developments
 

Accounting for income taxes repatriation of foreign earnings under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
In December
On October 22, 2004, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 109-2, which provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the foreign earnings repatriation provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”). The Act was signed into law on October 22, 2004.

law. The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. companies to repatriate accumulated foreign earnings at a substantially reduced U.S. effective tax rate by providing a dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to the U.S. taxpayer (the “repatriation provision”). The new deduction is subject to a number of limitations and requirements.

Clarification to key elements

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Firm applied the repatriation provision from Congress or the U.S. Treasury Department may affect an enterprise’s evaluationto $1.9 billion of the effect of the Act on its plan for repatriation or reinvestment of foreign earnings. The FSP provides a practical exception to the SFAS 109 requirement to reflect the effect of a new tax law in the period of enactment, because of the lack of clarification to certain provisions within the Act and the timing of the enactment. Thus, companies have additional time to assess the effect of the Act on its plan for reinvestment or repatriation ofcash from foreign earnings, for purposesresulting in a net tax benefit of applying SFAS 109. A company

should apply the provisions$55 million. The $1.9 billion of SFAS 109 (i.e., reflect the tax impact in the financial statements) in the period in which it makes the decision to repatriate or reinvest unremitted foreign earningscash will be used in accordance with the Act. Decisions can be madeFirm’s domestic reinvestment plan pursuant to the guidelines set forth in stages (e.g., by foreign country). The repatriation provision is effective for either the 2004 or 2005 tax years for calendar year taxpayers.Act.

The range of possible amounts that may be considered for repatriation under this provision is between zero and $1.9 billion. The Firm is currently assessing the impact of the repatriation provision and, at this time, cannot reasonably estimate the related range of income tax effects of such repatriation provision. Accordingly, the Firm has not reflected the tax effect of the repatriation provision in income tax expense or income tax liabilities.

Accounting for share-based payments
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, which revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued SAB 107 which provides interpretive guidance on SFAS 123R. Accounting and reporting under SFAS 123R is generally similar to the SFAS 123 approach. However, SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based onupon their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.



80JPMorgan Chase & Co./2004 Annual Report


SFAS 123R permits adoption using one of two methods – modified prospective or modified retrospective. In April 2005, the SEC approved a new rule that, for public companies, delays the effective date of SFAS 123R to no later than January 1, 2006. The Firm hasadopted SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, under the modified prospective method.

The Firm continued to account for certain stock options that were outstanding as of December 31, 2002, under APB 25 using the intrinsic value method. Therefore, compensation expense for some previously granted awards that was not recognized under SFAS 123 will be recognized commencing January 1, 2006, under SFAS 123R. Had the Firm adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact would have approximated that shown in the impact of SFAS 123 as describedpro forma disclosures in the disclosureNote 7 on pages 100–102 of pro formathis Annual Report, which presents net income and earnings per share as presented in Note 7 on page 97 of this Annual Report.if all outstanding awards were accounted for at fair value.

The Firm is currently evaluating bothwill also accrue in 2006 the estimated cost of stock awards to be granted to retirement-eligible employees in January 2007.
Accounting for conditional asset retirement obligations
In March 2005, FASB issued FIN 47 to clarify the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS 143. Conditional asset retirement obligations are legal obligations to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing andand/or method of adopting the new standard.

Impairment of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities
In September 2004, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-1-1, indefinitely delaying the measurement provisions of EITF 03-1. The disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 remain effective andsettlement are included in Note 9 on pages 98-100 of this Annual Report. EITF 03-1 addresses issues related to other-than-temporary impairment for securities classified as either available-for-saleconditional based upon a future event that may or held-to-maturity under SFAS 115 (including individual securities and investments in mutual funds) and for investments accounted for under the cost method. A proposed FSP addressing these issues was issued by the FASB and is expected to be finalized in 2005. The impact of EITF 03-1, if any, to the Firm’s investment portfolios willmay not be known untilwithin the final consensus is issued.

Accounting for interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”)
IRLCs associated with mortgages to be held for sale represent commitments to extend credit at specified interest rates. On March 9, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB No. 105, which summarizes the viewscontrol of the Securities and Exchange Commission staff regardingcompany. The obligation to perform the applicationasset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of U.S. GAAPsettlement.

Accounting for certain loans or debt securities acquired in a transferCertain Hybrid Financial Instruments –
an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140

In December 2003, the AICPA issued SOP 03-3, which requires that loans purchased at a discount due to poor credit quality be recorded at fair value and prohibits the recognition of a loss accrual or valuation allowance at the time of purchase. SOP 03-3 also limits the yield that may be accreted to the excess of the undiscounted expected cash flows over the initial investment in the loan. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of yield over its remaining life and decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as an impairment. For JPMorgan Chase entities, SOP 03-3 became effective for loans or debt securities acquired after December 31, 2004.

Accounting for postretirement health care plans that provide prescription drug benefits
In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”) was enacted. In May 2004,February 2006, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 106-2,155, which provides guidanceapplies to certain “hybrid financial instruments,” which are instruments that contain embedded derivatives. The new standard establishes a requirement to evaluate beneficial interests in securitized financial assets to determine if the interests represent freestanding derivatives or are hybrid financial instruments containing embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation.

This new standard also permits an election for fair value remeasurement of any hybrid financial instrument containing an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation under SFAS 133. The fair value election can be applied on accounting foran instrument-by-instrument basis to existing instruments at the Act. For additional information, see Note 6date of adoption and can be applied to new instruments on page 92-95a prospective basis.
Currently, the Firm is planning to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2006. In addition, the Firm is assessing to which qualifying existing and newly issued instruments it will apply the fair value election. Implementation of this Annual Report. In early 2005, the federal government issued additional guidance about how to apply certain provisions of the Act, which may lead to future accounting adjustments. Such adjustments, however, arestandard is not expected to be material.

Accounting for variable interest entities
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN 46 to address various technical corrections and implementation issues that had arisen since the issuance of FIN 46. Effective March 31, 2004, JPMorgan Chase implemented FIN 46R for all VIEs, excluding certain investments made by its private equity business. Implementation of FIN 46R did not have a material effectimpact on the Firm’s Consolidated financial statements.

The applicationposition or results of FIN 46R involved significant judgement and interpretations by management. The Firm is aware of differing interpretations being developed among accounting professionals and the EITF with regard to analyzing derivatives under FIN 46R. Management’s current interpretation is that derivatives should be evaluated by focusing on an economic analysis of the rights and obligations of a VIE’s assets, liabilities, equity, and other contracts, while considering: the entity’s activities and design; the terms of the derivative contract and the role it has with entity; and whether the derivative contract creates and/or absorbs variability of the VIE. The Firm will continue to monitor developing interpretations.

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Management of JPMorgan Chase & Co. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, internalInternal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Firm’s principal executive, principal operating and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by JPMorgan Chase’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

JPMorgan Chase’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records, that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Firm’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Firm are being made only in accordance with authorizations of JPMorgan Chase’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Firm’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004.2005. In making the assessment, management used the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated–Integrated Framework” promulgated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, commonly referred to as the “COSO” criteria.

Based onupon the assessment performed, management concluded that as of December 31, 2004,2005, JPMorgan Chase’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based upon the COSO criteria.

PRICEWATERHOUSE COOPERS LLP • 300Madison AvenueNew York, 300 MADISON AVENUE NEW YORK, NY 10017

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of JPMorgan Chase&Co.:

We have completed an integrated auditaudits of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20042005, and auditsan audit of its 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions on JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s 2005, 2004, and 2003 consolidated financial statements and on its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20042005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Internal control over financial reporting
Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20042005 based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”)(COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004,2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated–Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial

reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to consolidated financial statements
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Note 1 Basis of presentation

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase” or the “Firm”), a financial holding company incorporated under Delaware law in 1968, is a leading global financial services firm and one of the largest banking institutions in the United States, with operations in more than 50 countries.worldwide. The Firm is a leader in investment banking, financial services for consumers and businesses, financial transaction processing, investment management, private banking and private equity. For a discussion of the Firm’s business segment information, see Note 31 on pages 126-127130—131 of this Annual Report.

The accounting and financial reporting policies of JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and prevailing industry practices. Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities.

Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of JPMorgan Chase and other entities in which the Firm has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority of the voting interests of an entity. However, a controlling financial interest may also exist in entities, such as special purpose entities (“SPEs”), through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests.

SPEs are an important part of the financial markets, providing market liquidity by facilitating investors’ access to specific portfolios of assets and risks. They are, for example, critical to the functioning of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and commercial paper markets. SPEs may be organized as trusts, partnerships or corporations and are typically set up for a single, discrete purpose. SPEs are not typically operating entities and usually have a limited life and no employees. The basic SPE structure involves a company selling assets to the SPE. The SPE funds the purchase of those assets by issuing securities to investors. The legal documents that govern the transaction describe how the cash earned on the assets must be allocated to the SPE’s investors and other parties that have rights to those cash flows. SPEs can be structured to be bankruptcy-remote, thereby insulating investors from the impact of the creditors of other entities, including the seller of the assets.

There are two different accounting frameworks applicable to SPEs;SPEs: the qualifying SPE (“QSPE”) framework under SFAS 140; and the variable interest entity (“VIE”) framework under FIN 46R. The applicable framework depends on the nature of the entity and the Firm’s relation to that entity. The QSPE framework is applicable when an entity transfers (sells) financial assets to an SPE meeting certain criteria as defined in SFAS 140. These criteria are designed to ensure that the activities of the entity are essentially predetermined in their entirety at the inception of the vehicle and that the transferor of the financial assets cannot exercise control over the entity and the assets therein. Entities meeting these criteria are not consolidated by the transferor or other counterparty,counterparties, as long as the entity doesthey do not have the unilateral ability to liquidate or to cause itthe entity to no longer meet the QSPE criteria. The Firm primarily follows the QSPE model for securitizations of its residential and commercial mortgages, credit card loans and automobile loans. For further details, see Note 13 on pages 103-106108—111 of this Annual Report.

When the SPE does not meet the QSPE criteria, consolidation is assessed pursuant to FIN 46R. Under FIN 46R, a VIE is defined as an entity that: (1) lacks enough equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties,parties; (2) has equity owners that lack the right to make significant decisions affecting the entity’s operations,operations; and/or (3) has equity owners that do not have an obligation to absorb or the right to receive the entity’s losses or returns.

FIN 46R requires a variable interest holder (i.e., a counterparty to a VIE) to consolidate the VIE if that party will absorb a majority of the expected losses of the VIE, receive athe majority of the expected residual returns of the VIE, or both. This party is considered the primary beneficiary of the entity. Thebeneficiary. In making this determination, of whether the Firm meetsthoroughly evaluates the criteria to be consideredVIE’s design, capital structure and relationships among variable interest holders. When the primary beneficiary cannot be identified through a qualitative analysis, the Firm performs a quantitative analysis, which computes and allocates expected losses or residual returns to variable interest holders. The allocation of a VIE requires an evaluationexpected cash flows in this analysis is based upon the relative contractual rights and preferences of all transactions (such as investments, liquidity commitments, derivatives and fee arrangements) witheach interest holder in the entity and an expected loss calculation when necessary.VIE’s capital structure. For further details, see Note 14 on pages 106-109111—113 of this Annual Report.

Prior to the Firm’s adoption of FIN 46 on July 1, 2003, the decision of whether or not to consolidate depended on the applicable accounting principles for non-QSPEs, including a determination regarding the nature

All retained interests and amount of investment made by third parties in the SPE. Consideration was given to, among other factors, whether a third party had made a substantive equity investment in the SPE; which party had voting rights, if any; who made decisions about the assets in the SPE; and who was at risk of loss. The SPE was consolidated if JPMorgan Chase retained or acquired control over the risks and rewards of the assets in the SPE.

Financial assets are derecognized when they meet the accounting sale criteria. Those criteria are: (1) the assets are legally isolated from the Firm’s creditors; (2) the entity can pledge or exchange the financial assets or, if the entity is a QSPE, its investors can pledge or exchange their interests; and (3) the Firm does not maintain effective control via an agreement to repurchase the assets before their maturity or have the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return the assets. All significant transactions and retained interests between the Firm, QSPEs and nonconsolidated VIEs are reflected on JPMorgan Chase’s Consolidated balance sheets or in the Notes to consolidated financial statements.

Investments in companies that are considered to be voting-interest entities under FIN 46R in which the Firm has significant influence over operating and financing decisions (generally defined as owning a voting or economic interest of 20% to 50%) are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting. These investments are generally included in Other assets, and the Firm’s share of income or loss is included in Other income. For a discussion of private equity investments, see Note 9 on pages 98-100103—105 of this Annual Report.

Assets held for clients in an agency or fiduciary capacity by the Firm are not assets of JPMorgan Chase and are not included in the Consolidated balance sheets.

Use of estimates in the preparation of consolidated
financial statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

Note 2 – Business changes and developments

Merger with Bank One Corporation
Bank One Corporation merged with and into JPMorgan Chase (the “Merger”) on July 1, 2004. As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Bank One was converted in a stock-for-stock exchange into 1.32 shares of common stock of JPMorgan Chase; cash payments for fractional shares were approximately $3.1 million.Chase. JPMorgan Chase stockholders kept their shares, which remained outstanding and unchanged as shares of JPMorgan Chase following the Merger. Key objectives of the Merger were to provide the Firm with a more balanced business mix and greater geographic diversification. The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets and liabilities of Bank One be fair valued as of July 1, 2004. The purchase price to complete the Merger was $58.5 billion.

As part of the Merger, certain accounting policies and practices were conformed, which resulted in $976 million of charges in 2004. The significant components of the conformity charges comprised a $1.4 billion charge related to the decertification of the seller’s interest in credit card securitizations, and the benefit of a $584 million reduction in the allowance for credit losses as a result of conforming the wholesale and consumer credit provision methodologies.

The final purchase price of the Merger has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using their fair values atas of the merger date. The computation of the purchase price and the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets of Bank One based on their respective fair values as of July 1, 2004 and the resulting goodwill are presented below. The allocation of the purchase price may be modified through June 30, 2005, as more information is obtained about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The Firm uses a measurement date of December 31 for its pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans. TheIn addition, as of August 1, 2005, the U.S. postretirement medical and life insurance plan was remeasured to reflect a mid-year plan amendment and the final Medicare Part D regulations that were issued on January 21, 2005. For the Firm’s defined benefit pension plan assets, fair value of plan assets is used to determine the expected return on pension plan assets. For the Firm’s other postretirement employee benefit plan assets, for its U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans.

which is currently 10 years. For other postretirement employee benefit plans, unrecognized gains and losses are also amortized over the average future service period, which is currently 8 years. However, prior service costs associated with other postretirement employee benefit plans are recognized over the average years of service remaining to full eligibility age, which is currently 6 years.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

The Firm has a qualified noncontributory U.S. defined benefit pension plan that provides benefits to substantially all U.S. employees. The U.S. plan employs a cash balance formula, in the form of salary and interest credits, to determine the benefits to be provided at retirement, based upon eligible compensation and years of service. Employees begin to accrue plan benefits after completing one year of service, and benefits generally vest after five years of service. The Firm also offers benefits through defined benefit pension plans to qualifying employees in certain non-U.S. locations based upon eligible compensation and years of service.
It is the Firm’s policy to fund the pension plans in amounts sufficient to meet the requirements under applicable employee benefit and local tax laws. The Firm did not make any U.S. pension plan contributions in 2005 and based upon the current funded status of this plan, the Firm does not expect to make significant contributions in 2006. In 2004, the Firm made a cash contribution to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan of $1.1 billion, funding the plan to the maximum allowable amount under applicable tax law.

These benefits vary with length of service and date of hire and provide for limits on the Firm’s share of covered medical benefits. The medical benefits are contributory, while the life insurance benefits are noncontributory. As of August 1, 2005, the eligibility requirements for U.S. employees to qualify for subsidized retiree medical coverage were revised and life insurance coverage was eliminated for active employees retiring after 2005. Postretirement medical benefits also are offered to qualifying U.K. employees.
In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act established a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (“Medicare Part D”) and a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The Firm has determined that benefits provided to certain participants will beare at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and has reflected the estimated effects of the subsidy in itsthe financial statements and disclosures retroactive to the beginning of 2004 (July 1, 2004 for Bank One Plans)plans) in accordance with FSP SFAS 106-2.

The medical benefits are contributory, while the life insurance benefits are noncontributory. Postretirement medical benefits are also offered to qualifying U.K. employees.

(a)For pension benefit plans, the unrecognized net loss is primarily the result of declines in interest rates in recent years, as offset by recent asset gains and amounts recognized through amortization in expense. Other factors that contribute to this unrecognized amount include demographic experience, which differs from expected, and changes in other actuarial assumptions. For other postretirement benefit plans, the primary drivers of the cumulative unrecognized loss was the decline in the discount rate in recent years and the medical trend, which was higher than expected. These losses have been offset somewhat by the recognition of future savings attributable to Medicare Part D subsidy payments.

Notes to consolidated financial statements
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

JPMorgan Chase has a number of other defined benefit pension plans (i.e., U.S. plans not subject to Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act). The most significant of these plans is the Excess Retirement Plan, pursuant to which certain employees earn service credits on compensation amounts above the maximum stipulated by law. This plan is a nonqualified, noncontributory U.S. pension plan with an unfunded liability at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, in the amount of $292$273 million and $178$292 million, respectively. Compensation expense related to the Firm’s other defined benefitthis pension plansplan totaled $21 million in 2005, $28 million in 2004 and $19 million in 2003 and $15 million in 2002.

2003.

Plan assumptions
JPMorgan Chase’s expected long-term rate of return for U.S. pension and other postretirement employee benefit plan assets is a blended average of itsthe investment advisor’s projected long-term (10 years or more) returns for the various asset classes, weighted by the portfolio allocation. Asset-class returns are developed using a forward-looking building-block approach and are not based strictly onupon historical returns. Equity returns are generally developed as the sum of inflation, expected real earnings growth and expected long-term dividend yield. Bond returns are generally developed as the sum of inflation, real bond yieldsyield and risk spreadsspread (as appropriate), adjusted for the expected effect on returns from changing yields. Other asset-class returns are derived from their relationship to the equity and bond markets.

In the United Kingdom,U.K., which represents the most significant of the non-U.S. pension plans, procedures similar to those in the United StatesU.S. are used to develop the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, taking into consideration local market conditions and the specific allocation of plan assets. The expected

long-term rate of return on U.K. plan assets is an average of projected long-term returns for each asset class, selected by reference to the yield on long-term U.K. government bonds and AA-rated long-term corporate bonds, plus an equity risk premium above the risk-free rate.

The

In 2005, the discount rate used in determining the benefit obligation under the U.S. pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans was selected by reference to the yield on a portfolio of bonds whose redemptions and coupons closely match each of the plan’s projected cash flows; such portfolio is derived from a broad-based universe of high quality corporate bonds as of the measurement date. In years in which this hypothetical bond portfolio generates excess cash, such excess is assumed to be reinvested at the one-year forward rates implied by the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve published as of the measurement date. Prior to 2005, discount rates were selected by reference to the year-end Moody’s corporate AA rate, as well as other high-quality indices with a duration that was similar duration to that of the respective plan’s benefit obligations. The discount rate for the U.K. pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans is selectedwas determined by reference tomatching the duration of the Firm’s obligations with the corresponding duration from the yield curve of the year-end iBoxx £ corporate AA 15-year-plus bond rate.

(b)2003 reflects the results of heritage JPMorgan Chase only.

At December 31, 2004,2005, the Firm reduced the discount rate used to determine its U.S. benefit obligations to 5.70% for the pension plan and to 5.65% for the postretirement benefits plans from the prior year rate of 5.75%. for both plans. The Firm also reducedchanged the 2005health care benefit obligation trend assumption to 10% for 2006, grading down to an ultimate rate of 5% in 2013. The 2006 expected long-term rate of return on its U.S. pension plan assets toremained at 7.50%. The 2006 expected

long-term rate of return on the Firm’s COLI postretirementpost-retirement plan assets remained at 7%7.00%; however, with the merger of Bank One’s other postretirement plan assets, the Firm’s overall expected long-term rate of return on U.S. postretirement employee benefit plan assets decreased to 6.84% and 6.80% in 2005 and 2004, respectively, to reflect a weighted average expected rate of return for the merged plan. The interest crediting rate assumption used to determine pension benefits changed to 5.00% from 4.75% in 2005, primarily due to changes in market interest rates which will result in additional expense of $18 million. The changes as of December 31, 2004,2005, to the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets isrates are expected to increase 20052006 U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit expenses by approximately $41 million. The impact of any changes$5 million and to the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets on non-U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit expenses by $23 million. The rate of compensation increase assumption of 4.00% at December 31, 2005, reflects the consolidation of the prior JPMorgan Chase and Bank One age-weighted increase assumptions; the impact to expense is not expected to be material.

JPMorgan Chase’s U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit expenses are most sensitive to the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. With all other assumptions held constant, a 25-basis point decline in the expected long-term rate of return on U.S. plan assets would result in an increase of approximately $25$26 million in 20052006 U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit expenses. Additionally, aA 25-basis point decline in the discount rate for the U.S. plans would result in an increase in 20052006 U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit expenses of approximately $16$20 million and an increase in the related projected benefit obligations of approximately $215$233 million.

A 25-basis point decline in the discount rates for the non-U.S. plans would result in an increase in the 2006 non-U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit expenses of $12 million. A 25-basis point increase in the interest crediting rate would result in an increase in 2006 U.S. pension expense of approximately $18 million.

Investment strategy and asset allocation

The investment policy for the Firm’s postretirement employee benefit plan assets is to optimize the risk-return relationship as appropriate to the respective plan’s needs and goals, using a global portfolio of various asset classes diversified by market segment, economic sector, and issuer. Specifically, the goal is to optimize the asset mix for future benefit obligations, while managing various risk factors and each plan’s investment return objectives. For example, long-duration fixed income securities are included in the U.S. qualified pension plan’s asset allocation, in recognition of its long-duration obligations. Plan assets are managed by a combination of internal and external investment managers and, on a quarterly basis, are rebalanced to target, to the extent economically practical.

The Firm’s U.S. pension plan assets are held in various trusts and are invested in well diversifiedwell-diversified portfolios of equityequities (including U.S. large and small capitalization and international equities), fixed income (including corporate and

government bonds), Treasury inflation-indexed and high-yield securities, cash equivalents, and other securities. Non-U.S. pension plan assets are held in various trusts and are similarly invested in well-diversified portfolios of equity, fixed income and other securities. Assets of the Firm’s COLI policies, which are used to fund partially the U.S. postretirement benefit plan, are held in separate accounts with an insurance company and are invested in equity and fixed income index funds. In addition, tax-exempt municipal debt securities, held in a trust, are used to fund the U.S. postretirement benefit plan. AssetsAs of December 31, 2005, the assets used to fund the Firm’s U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans do not include $53 million of JPMorgan Chase common stock, in addition to JPMorgan Chase common stock heldexcept in connection with investments in third-party stock-index funds.

Defined contribution plans
JPMorgan Chase offers several defined contribution plans in the U.S. and in certain non-U.S. locations. The most significant of these plans is the JPMorgan Chase 401(k) Savings Plan, coveringwhich covers substantially all U.S. employees. This planThe 401(k) Savings Plan allows employees to make pre-tax contributions to tax-deferred investment portfolios. The JPMorgan Chase Common Stock Fund within the 401(k) Savings Plan is a nonleveraged employee stock ownership plan. The Firm matches eligible employee contributions up to a certain percentage of benefits eligiblebenefits-eligible compensation per pay period, subject to plan and legal limits. Employees begin to receive matching contributions after completing a specified service requirement and are immediately vested in such company contributions. The Firm’s defined contribution plans are administered in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations. Compensation expense related to these plans totaled $392 million in 2005, $317 million in 2004 and $240 million in 2003 and $251 million in 2002.

Note 7 – Employee stock-based incentives

Effective January 1, 2003, JPMorgan Chase adopted SFAS 123 using the prospective transition method. SFAS 123 requires all stock-based compensation awards, including stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), to be accounted for at fair value. The Firm currently uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options and SARs. Stock options that were outstanding as of December 31, 2002, continue to be accounted for under APB 25 using the intrinsic value method. Under this method, no expense is recognized for stock options or SARs granted at the stock price on grant date, since such options have no intrinsic value. The Firm currently uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options and SARs. Compensation expense for restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is measured based onupon the number of shares granted and the stock price at the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized in earnings over the required service period.

In connection with the Merger in 2004, JPMorgan Chase converted all outstanding Bank One employee stock-based awards at the merger date, and those awards became exercisable for or based upon JPMorgan Chase common stock. The number of awards converted, and the exercise prices of those awards, was adjusted to take into account the Merger exchange ratio of 1.32.

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, which revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB 107, which provides interpretive guidance on SFAS 123R. Accounting and reporting under SFAS 123R is generally similar to the SFAS 123 approach except thatapproach. However, SFAS 123R

Key employee stock-based awards

In 2005, JPMorgan Chase grantsgranted long-term stock-based incentive awards to certain key employees under two plans (the “LTI Plans”): the 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”), as amended (“the 1996 Plan”) until May 2005 and approvedunder the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“the 2005 Plan”) thereafter to certain key employees. These two plans, plus prior Firm plans and plans assumed as the result of acquisitions, constitute the Firm’s plans (“LTI Plans”). The 2005 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on March 15, 2005, and became effective on May 17, 2005, after approval by shareholders at the annual meeting. The 2005 Plan replaces three existing stock compensation plans – the 1996 Plan and two non-shareholder approved plans – all of which expired in May 2000, provides2005. Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, 275 million shares of common stock are available for grants of stock options,issuance during its five-year term. The 2005 Plan is the only active plan under which the Firm is currently granting stock-based incentive awards.
In 2005, 15.5 million SARs restricted stock and RSU awards, and the Stock Option Plan, a nonshareholder-approved plan, provides for grants of stock options and SARs. In 2004, 14.5 million SARs

granted. Under the LTI Plans, stock options and SARs are granted with an exercise price equal to JPMorgan Chase’s common stock price on the grant date. Generally, options and SARs cannot be exercised until at least one year after the grant date and become exercisable over various periods as determined at the time of the grant. These awards generally expire 10 years after the grant date.

In December 2005, the Firm accelerated the vesting of approximately 41 million unvested, out-of-the-money employee stock options granted in 2001 under the Growth and Performance Incentive Program (“GPIP”), which were scheduled to vest in January 2007. These options were not modified other than to accelerate vesting. The related expense was approximately $145 million, and was recognized as compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2005. The Firm believes that at the time the options were accelerated they had limited economic value since the exercise price of the accelerated options was $51.22 and the closing price of the Firm’s common stock on the effective date of the acceleration was $39.69.

(b) Lapsed awards represent both restricted stock for which restrictions have lapsed and RSUs that have been converted into common stock.

Restricted stock and RSUs are granted by JPMorgan Chase under the 1996 Plan at no cost to the recipient. These awards are subject to forfeiture until certain restrictions have lapsed, including continued employment for a specified period. The recipient of a share of restricted stock is entitled to voting rights and dividends on the common stock. An RSU entitles the recipient to receive a share of common stock after the applicable restrictions lapse; the

recipient is entitled to receive cash payments equivalent to any dividends paid on the underlying common stock during the period the RSU is outstanding.

Effective January 2005, the equity portion of the Firm’s annual incentive awards were granted primarily in the form of RSUs.

The vesting of certain awards issued prior to 2002 is conditioned upon certain service requirements being met and JPMorgan Chase’s common stock reaching and sustaining target prices within a five-year performance period. During 2002, it was determined that it was no longer probable that the target stock prices related to forfeitable awards granted in 1999, 2000, and 2001 would be achieved within their respective performance periods, and accordingly, previously accrued expenses were reversed. The target stock prices for these awards range from $73.33 to $85.00. Forfeitures of the 1999These awards in 2004 equaledwere forfeited as follows: 1.2 million shares;shares granted in 1999 were forfeited in January 2004; and 1.2 million shares of thegranted in 2000 award were forfeited in January 2005. TheAdditionally, 1.2 million shares granted in 2001 awards will bewere forfeited in January 2006 if their stock price targets are not achieved.

Broad-based employee stock options
In January 2004,
No broad-based employee stock option grants were made in 2005. Prior awards were granted by JPMorgan Chase granted a total of 6.3 million options and SARs to all eligible full-time (75 options each) and part-time (38 options each) employees under the Value Sharing Plan, a nonshareholder-approvednon-shareholder-approved plan. The exercise price is equal to JPMorgan Chase’s common stock price on the grant date. The options become exercisable over various periods and generally expire 10 years after the grant date.

Comparison of the fair and intrinsic value measurement methods
Pre-tax employee stock-based compensation expense related to thesethe LTI plans totaled $1.6 billion in 2005, $1.3 billion in 2004 and $919 million in 2003 and $590 million in 2002. In response to the fact that the adoption of SFAS 123 eliminated the difference in the expense impact of issuing options and restricted stock, the Firm changed its incentive compensation policies upon the adoption of SFAS 123 to permit employees to elect to receive incentive awards in the form of options, restricted stock or a combination of both. The $266 million impact of the adoption of SFAS 123 in 2003 is comprised of (i) $86 million representing the value of stock options granted during 2003 and (ii) $180 million representing the value of restricted stock granted during 2003 that would have been issuable solely in the form of stock options prior to the adoption of SFAS 123.

Note 9 – Securities and
private equity investments

Securities are classified as AFS, Held-to-maturity (“HTM”) or Trading. Trading securities are discussed in Note 3 on pages 90-91.page 94 of this Annual Report. Securities are classified as AFS when, in management’s judgment, they may be sold in response to or in anticipation of changes in market conditions, or as part of the Firm’s management of its structural interest rate risk. AFS securities are carried at fair value on the Consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses after SFAS 133 valuation adjustments are reported as net increases or decreases to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The specific identification method is used to determine realized gains and losses on AFS securities, which are included in Securities /private equity gains on the Consolidated statements of income. Securities that the Firm has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM and are carried at amortized cost on the Consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents realized gains and losses from AFS securities and private equity gains (losses):

Impairment is evaluated considering numerous factors, and their relative significance varies case to case. Factors considered include the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer;issuer of the securities; and the Firm’s intent and ability to retain the security in order to allow for an anticipated recovery in market value. If, based onupon the analysis, it is determined that the impairment is other-than-temporary, the security is written down to fair value, and a loss is recognized through earnings.

Included in the $989$727 million of gross unrealized losses on AFS securities at December 31, 2004,2005, was $457$391 million of unrealized losses that have existed for a period greater than 12 months. These securities are predominately rated AAA and the unrealized losses are due to overall increases in market interest rates and not due to underlying credit concerns of the issuers. Substantially all of the securities with unrealized losses aged greater than 12 months have a market value at December 31, 2004,2005, that is within 3%4% of their amortized cost basis.

The Firm believes that all aged unrealized losses, as described above, are expected to be recovered within a reasonable time through a typical interest rate cycle. Accordingly, the Firm has concluded that none of the securities in its investment portfolios are other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2004.

In calculating the effective yield for mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), JPMorgan Chase includes the effect of principal prepayments. Management regularly performs simulation testing to determine the impact that market conditions would have on its MBS and CMO portfolios. MBSs and CMOs that management believes have prepayment risk are included in the AFS portfolio and are reported at fair value.

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Private equity investments are primarily held by the Private Equity business within Corporate (which includes JPMorgan Partners reported as a stand-alone business segment prior to the Merger, and Bank One’s ONE Equity Partners)Partners businesses). The Private Equity business invests in buyouts, growth equity and venture opportunities in the normal course of business. These investments are accounted for under investment company guidelines. Accordingly, these investments, irrespective of the percentage of equity ownership interest held by Private Equity, are carried on the Consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in value are reported in Securities/private equity gains in the Consolidated statements of income in the period that the gains or losses occur.

Private

Privately-held investments are initially valued based onupon cost. The carrying values of privateprivately-held investments are adjusted from cost to reflect both positive and negative changes evidenced by financing events with third-party capital providers. In addition, these investments are subject to ongoing impairment reviews by Private Equity’s senior investment professionals. A variety of factors are reviewed and monitored to assess impairment including, but not limited to, operating performance and future expectations comparableof the particular portfolio investment, industry valuations of comparable public companies, changes in market outlook and changes in the third-party financing environment. The Valuation Control Group within the Finance area is responsible for reviewing the accuracy of the carrying values of private investments held by Private Equity.

Private Equity also holds publicly-held equity investments, generally obtained through the initial public offering of private equity investments. These investments are marked to market at the quoted public value. To determine the carrying values of these investments, Private Equity incorporates the use of discounts to take into account the fact that it cannot immediately realize or risk manage the quoted public values as a result of regulatory, corporate and/or contractual sales restrictions imposed on these holdings.

Note 10 Securities financing activities

JPMorgan Chase enters into resale agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed transactions and securities loaned transactions primarily to finance the Firm’s inventory positions, acquire securities to cover short positions and settle other securities obligations. The Firm also enters into these transactions to accommodate customers’ needs.

Securities purchased under resale agreements (“resale agreements”) and securities sold under repurchase agreements (“repurchase agreements”) are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried on the Consolidated balance sheets at the amounts the securities will be subsequently sold or repurchased, plus accrued interest. Where appropriate, resale and repurchase agreements with the same counterparty are reported on a net basis in accordance with FIN 41. JPMorgan Chase takes possession of securities purchased under resale agreements. On a daily basis, JPMorgan Chase monitors the market value of the underlying collateral received from its counterparties, consisting primarily of U.S. and non-U.S. government and agency securities, and requests additional collateral from its counterparties when necessary.

Transactions similar to financing activities that do not meet the SFAS 140 definition of a repurchase agreement are accounted for as “buys” and “sells” rather than financing transactions. These transactions are accounted for as a purchase (sale) of the underlying securities with a forward obligation to sell (purchase) the securities. The forward purchase (sale) obligation, a derivative, is recorded on the Consolidated balance sheets at its fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in Trading revenue. Notional amounts of transactions accounted for as purchases under SFAS 140 were $6 billion at December 31, 2004, and $15 billion at December 31, 2003, respectively. Notional amounts of transactions accounted for as sales under SFAS 140 were $20 billion and $8 billion at December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003, respectively. Based on the short-term duration of these contracts, the unrealized gain or loss is insignificant.

Securities borrowed and securities lent are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Securities borrowed consist primarily of government and equity securities. JPMorgan Chase monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and lent on a daily basis and calls for additional collateral when appropriate. Fees received or paid are recorded in Interest income or Interest expense.

Note 11 Loans

Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of the Allowance for loan losses, unearned income and any net deferred loan fees. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, with valuation changes recorded in noninterest revenue. Loans are classified as “trading” where positions are bought and sold to make profits from short-term movements in price. Loans held for trading purposes are included in Trading assets and are carried at fair value, with the gains and losses included in Trading revenue. Interest income is recognized using the interest method, or on a basis approximating a level rate of return over the term of the loan.

Nonaccrual loans are those on which the accrual of interest is discontinued. Loans (other than certain consumer loans discussed below) are placed on nonaccrual status immediately if, in the opinion of management, full payment of principal or interest is in doubt, or when principal or interest is 90 days or more past due and collateral, if any, is insufficient to cover principal and interest. Interest accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against Interest income. In addition, the amortization of net deferred loan fees is suspended. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent it is received in cash. However, where there is doubt regarding the ultimate collectibility of loan principal, all cash thereafter received is applied to reduce the carrying value of the loan.such loans. Loans are restored to accrual status only when interest and principal payments are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Consumer loans are generally charged to the Allowance for loan losses upon reaching specified stages of delinquency, in accordance with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) policy. For example, credit card loans are charged off by the end of the month in which the account becomes 180 days past due or within 60 days from receiving notification of the filing of bankruptcy, whichever is earlier. Residential mortgage products are generally charged off to net realizable value at 180 days past due. Other consumer products are generally charged off (to net realizable value if collateralized) at 120 days past due. Accrued interest on residential mortgage products, auto &and automobile and education financings and certain other consumer loans are accounted for in accordance with the nonaccrual loan policy discussed above.
in the preceding paragraph. Interest and fees related to credit card loans continue to accrue until the loan is charged-offcharged off or paid. Accrued interest on all other consumer loans is generally reversed against interest income when the consumer loan is charged off. A collateralized loan is considered an in-substance foreclosure and is reclassified to assets acquired in loan satisfactions, within Other assets, only when JPMorgan Chase has taken physical possession of the collateral. This iscollateral, but regardless of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place.

JPMorgan Chase accounts for and discloses nonaccrual loans as impaired loans and recognizes their interest income as discussed previously for nonaccrual loans. The Firm excludes from impaired loans its small-balance, homogeneous consumer loans; loans carried at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value; debt securities; and leases.

The table below sets forth information about JPMorgan Chase’s impaired loans. The Firm primarily uses the discounted cash flow method for valuing impaired loans:

(c) The allowance for impaired loans under SFAS 114 is included in JPMorgan Chase’s Allowance for loan losses.

Note 12 Allowance for credit losses

JPMorgan Chase’s Allowance for loan losses covers the wholesale (primarily risk-rated)(risk-rated) and consumer (primarily scored)(scored) loan portfolios and represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the Firm’s loan portfolio. Management also computes an Allowance for wholesale lending-related commitments using a methodology similar to that used for the wholesale loans.

As a result of the Merger, management modified its methodology for determining the Provision for credit losses for the combined Firm. The effect of conforming methodologies in 2004 was a decrease in the consumer allowance of $254 million and a decrease in the wholesale allowance (including both funded loans and lending-related commitments) of $330 million. In addition, the Bank One seller’s interest in credit card securitizations was decertificated; this resulted in an increase to the provision for loan losses of approximately $1.4 billion (pre-tax) in 2004.

The Allowance for loan losses consists of two components:includes an asset-specific losscomponent and a formula-based loss.component. Within the formula-based losscomponent is a statistical calculation and an adjustment to the statistical calculation.

The asset-specific loss component relates to provisions for losses on loans considered impaired and measured pursuant to SFAS 114. An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the loan areis lower than the carrying value of that loan. To compute the asset-specific loss component of the allowance, larger impaired loans are evaluated individually, and smaller impaired loans are evaluated as a pool using historical loss experience for the respective class of assets.

The formula-based loss component covers performing wholesale and consumer loans and is the product of a statistical calculation, as well as adjustments to such calculation. These adjustments take into consideration model imprecision, external factors and economic events that have occurred but are not yet reflected in the factors used to derive the statistical calculation.

The statistical calculation is the product of probability of default and loss given default. For risk-rated loans (generally loans originated by the wholesale lines of business), these factors are differentiated by risk rating and maturity. For scored loans (generally loans originated by the consumer lines of business), loss is primarily determined by applying statistical loss factors and other risk indicators to pools of loans by asset type. Adjustments to the statistical calculation for the risk-rated portfolios are determined by creating estimated ranges using historical experience of both loss given default and probability of default. Factors related to concentrated and deteriorating industries are also incorporated into the calculation where relevant. Adjustments to the statistical calculation for the scored loan portfolios are accomplished in part by analyzing the historical loss experience for each major product segment. The estimated ranges and the determination of the appropriate point within the range are based upon management’s view of uncertainties that relate to current macroeconomic and political conditions, quality of underwriting standards, and other relevant internal and external factors affecting the credit quality of the portfolio.

The Allowance for lending-related commitments represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the Firm’s process of extending credit. Management establishes an asset-specific allowance for lending-related commitments that are considered impaired and computes a formula-based allowance for performing wholesale lending-related commitments. These are computed using a methodology similar to that used for the wholesale loan portfolio, modified for expected maturities and probabilities of drawdown.

At least quarterly, the

The allowance for credit losses is reviewed at least quarterly by the Chief Risk Officer and the Deputy Chief Risk Officer of the Firm, and is discussed withthe Risk Policy Committee, a risk subgroup of the Operating Committee, and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Firm relative to the risk profile of the Firm’s credit portfolio and current economic conditions. As of December 31, 2004,2005, JPMorgan Chase deemed the allowance for credit losses to be appropriate (i.e., sufficient to absorb losses that are inherent in the portfolio, including those not yet identifiable).

As a result of the Merger, management modified its methodology for determining the Provision for credit losses for the combined Firm. The effect of conforming methodologies in 2004 was a decrease in the consumer allowance of $254 million and a decrease in the wholesale allowance (including both funded loans and lending-related commitments) of $330 million. In addition, the Bank One seller’s interest in credit card securitizations was decertificated; this resulted in an increase to the provision for loan losses of approximately $1.4 billion (pre-tax) in 2004.

Note 13 Loan securitizations

JPMorgan Chase securitizes, sells and services various consumer loans, such as consumer real estate, credit card and automobile loans, as well as certain wholesale loans (primarily real estate) originated by the Investment Bank. In addition, the Investment Bank purchases, packages and securitizes commercial and consumer loans. All IB activity is collectively referred to below as Wholesale activities below.activities. Interests in the sold and securitized loans may be retained as described below.

retained.

The Firm records a loan securitization as a sale when the transferred loans are legally isolated from the Firm’s creditors and the accounting criteria for a sale are met. Those criteria are (1) the assets are legally isolated from the Firm’s creditors; (2) the entity can pledge or exchange the financial assets or, if the entity is a QSPE, its investors can pledge or exchange their interests; and (3) the Firm does not maintain effective control via an agreement to repurchase the assets before their maturity or have the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return the assets.
Gains or losses recorded on loan securitizations depend, in part, on the carrying amount of the loans sold and are allocated between the loans sold and the retained interests, based onupon their relative fair values at the date of sale. Gains on securitizations are reported in noninterest revenue. Since quoted market prices are generally not available, the Firm usually estimates the fair value of these retained interests by determining the present value of future expected cash flows using modeling techniques. Such models incorporate management’s best estimates of key variables, such as expected credit losses, prepayment speeds and the discount rates appropriate for the risks involved. Gains on securitizations are reported in noninterest revenue.
Retained interests that are subject to prepayment risk, such that JPMorgan Chase may not recover substantially all of its investment, are recorded at fair value; subsequent adjustments are reflected in Other comprehensive income or in earnings, if the fair value of the retained interest has declined below its carrying amount and such decline has been determined to be other-than-temporary.

JPMorgan Chase-sponsored securitizations utilize SPEs as part of the securitization process. These SPEs are structured to meet the definition of a QSPE (as discussed in Note 1 on page 88 of this Annual Report); accordingly, the assets and liabilities of securitization-related QSPEs are not reflected in the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets (except for retained interests, as described below) but are included on the balance sheet of the QSPE purchasing the assets. Assets held by securitization-related SPEs as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, were as follows:

         
December 31, (in billions) 2004  2003(a)
 
Credit card receivables $106.3  $42.6 
Residential mortgage receivables  19.1   21.1 
Wholesale activities  44.8   33.8 
Automobile loans  4.9   6.5 
 
Total $175.1  $104.0 
 
(a)Heritage JPMorgan Chase only.

Interests in the securitized loans are generally retained by the Firm in the form of senior or subordinated interest-only strips, subordinated tranches, escrow accounts and servicing rights, and they are primarilygenerally recorded in Other assets. In addition, credit card securitization trusts require the Firm to maintain a minimum undivided interest in the trusts, representing the Firm’s interests in the receivables transferred to the trust that have not been securitized. These interests are not represented by security certificates. The Firm’s undivided interests are carried at historical cost and are classified in Loans.

Retained interests from wholesale activities are reflected as trading assets.

JPMorgan Chase retains servicing responsibilities for all residential mortgage, credit card and automobile loan securitizations and for certain wholesale activity securitizations it sponsors, and receives annual servicing fees based

(c)The auto securitization gain of $9 million does not include the write-down of loans transferred to held-for-sale in 2005 and risk management activities intended to protect the economic value of the loans while held-for-sale.
(d) Expected credit losses for prime residential mortgage and certain wholesale securitizations are minimal and are incorporated into other assumptions.

(e) Wholesale activities consist of wholesale loans (primarily commercial real estate) originated by the Investment Bank as well as $11.4 billion and $1.8 billion of consumer loans purchased from the market in 2005 and 2004, respectively, and then packaged and securitized by the Investment Bank.

In addition to securitization transactions, the Firm sold residential mortgage loans totaling $52.5 billion, $65.7 billion and $123.2 billion during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, primarily as GNMA, FNMA and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities; these sales resulted in pre-tax gains of $293 million, $58.1 million and $564.3 million, respectively.

At both December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, the Firm had, with respect to its credit card master trusts, $35.2$24.8 billion and $7.3$35.2 billion, respectively, related to its undivided interest,interests, and $2.2 billion and $2.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, related to its subordinated interestinterests in accrued interest and fees on the securitized receivables, net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. Credit card securitization trusts require the Firm to maintain a minimum undivided interest of 4% to 7%12% of the principal receivables in the trusts. The Firm maintained an average undivided interest in its principal receivables in the trusts of approximately 23% for both 2005 and 17% for 2004, and 2003, respectively.

The Firm also maintains escrow accounts up to predetermined limits for some of its credit card and automobile securitizations, in the unlikely event of deficiencies in cash flows owed to investors. The amounts available in such escrow accounts are recorded in Other assets and, as of December 31, 2004,2005, amounted to $395
$754 million and $132$76 million for credit card and automobile securitizations, respectively; as of December 31, 2003,2004, these amounts were $456$395 million and $137$132 million for credit card and automobile securitizations, respectively.

(b)In addition to the automobile retained interest amounts noted above, the Firm also retained senior securities totaling $490 million at December 31, 2005, from 2005 auto securitizations that are classified as AFS securities. These securities are valued using quoted market prices and are therefore not included in the key economic assumption and sensitivities table that follows.
(c)In addition to the wholesale retained interest amounts noted above, the Firm also retained subordinated securities totaling $51 million at December 31, 2005, from re-securitization activities. These securities are valued using quoted market prices and are therefore not included in the key assumptions and sensitivities table that follows.

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

calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one

factor may result in changes in another assumption, which might counteract or magnify the sensitivities.

Expected static-pool net credit losses include actual incurred losses plus projected net credit losses, divided by the original balance of the outstandings comprising the securitization pool.



The table below displays the expected static-pool net credit losses for 2005, 2004 and 2003, and 2002, based onupon securitizations occurring in that year:

Note 14 – Variable interest entities

Refer to Note 1 on page 8891 of this Annual Report for a further description of JPMorgan Chase’s policies regarding consolidation of variable interest entities.

JPMorgan Chase’s principal involvement with VIEs occurs in the following business segments:

 Investment Bank: Utilizes VIEs to assist clients in accessing the financial markets in a cost-efficient manner by providing the structural flexibility to meet their needs pertaining to price, yield and desired risk. There are two broad categories of transactions involving VIEs in the IB: (1) multi-seller conduits and (2) client intermediation; both are discussed below. The IB also securitizes loans through QSPEs which are not considered VIEs, to create asset-backed securities, as further discussed in Note 13 on pages 103–106108–111 of this Annual Report.
 
 Asset & Wealth Management: Provides investment management services to a limited number of the Firm’s mutual funds deemed VIEs. AWM earns a fixed fee based onupon assets managed; the fee varies with each fund’s investment objective and is competitively priced. For the limited number of funds that qualify as VIEs, the Firm’s interest isAWM’s relationships with such funds are not considered significant interests under FIN 46R.
 
 Treasury & Securities Services: Provides trustee and custodial services to a number of VIEs. These services are similar to those provided to non-VIEs. TSS earns market-based fees for services provided. Such relationships are not considered significant interests under FIN 46R.
 
 Commercial Banking: Utilizes VIEs as partto assist clients in accessing the financial markets in a cost-efficient manner. This is often accomplished through the use of its middle markets business. This involvement includes: (1) structuring and administering independent, member-owned finance entities for companies with dedicated distribution systems, whereproducts similar to those offered in the Firm may also provide some liquidity, letters of creditInvestment Bank.

  Commercial Banking may assist in the structuring and/or on-going administration of these VIEs and may provide liquidity, letters of credit and/or derivative instruments; and (2) synthetic lease transactions,instruments in which the Firm provides financing to a SPE; in turn, the SPE purchases assets, which are then leased by the SPE to the Firm’s customer. The CB earns market-based fees for providing such services. These activities do not involve the Firm holding a significant interest in VIEs.
The Firm’s Private Equity business, now included in Corporate, is involved with entities that may be deemed VIEs. Private equity activities are accounted for in accordance with the Investment Company Audit Guide (“Audit Guide”). The FASB deferred adoption of FIN 46R for non-registered investment companies that apply the Audit Guide until the proposed Statement of Position on the clarificationsupport of the scope of the Audit Guide is finalized. The Firm continues to apply this deferral provision; had FIN 46R been applied to VIEs subject to this deferral, the impact would have had an insignificant impact on the Firm’s Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004.VIE.

As noted above, there are two broad categories of transactions involving VIEs with which the IB is involved: multi-seller conduits and client intermediation. These categories are discussed more fully below.

Multi-seller conduits
The Firm is an active participant in the asset-backed securities business, where it helpshelping meet customers’ financing needs by providing access to the commercial paper markets through VIEs known as multi-seller conduits. These entities are separate bankruptcy-remote corporations in the business of purchasing interests in, and making loans secured by, receivable pools and other financial assets pursuant to agreements with customers. The entities fund their purchases and loans through the issuance of highly-rated commercial paper. The primary source of repayment of the commercial paper is the cash flow from the pools of assets.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 20042005 Annual Report111

 


Notes to consolidated financial statements
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

JPMorgan Chase serves as the administrator and provides contingent liquidity support and limited credit enhancement for several multi-seller conduits. The commercial paper issued by the conduits is backed by sufficient collateral, credit enhancements and commitments to provide liquidity sufficient to support receiving at least a liquidity rating of A-1, P-1 and, in certain cases, F1.

As a means of ensuring timely repayment of the commercial paper, each asset pool financed by the conduits has a minimum 100% deal-specific liquidity facility associated with it. In the unlikely event an asset pool is removed from the conduit, the administrator can draw on the liquidity facility to repay the maturing commercial paper. The liquidity facilities are typically in the form of asset purchase agreements and are generally structured such that the bank liquidity is provided by purchasing, or lending against, a pool of non-defaulted, performing assets. Deal-specific liquidity is the primary source of liquidity support for the conduits.

Program-wide liquidity in the form of revolving and short-term lending commitments also is provided by the Firm to these vehicles in the event of short-term disruptions in the commercial paper market.

Deal-specific credit enhancement that supports the commercial paper issued by the conduits is generally structured to cover a multiple of historical losses expected on the pool of assets and is provided primarily provided by customers (i.e., sellers) or other third parties. The deal-specific credit enhancement is typically in the form of over-collateralization provided by the seller but also may also include any combination of the following: recourse to the seller or originator, cash collateral accounts, letters of credit, excess spread, retention of subordinated interests or third-party guarantees. In certain instances, the Firm provides limited credit enhancement in the form of standby letters of credit.



The following table summarizes the Firm’s involvement with Firm-administered multi-seller conduits:

(a) The Firm’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to the amount of drawn commitments (i.e., sellers’ assets held by the multi-seller conduits for which the Firm provides liquidity support) of $42.2$41.6 billion and $11.7$42.2 billion at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, respectively, plus contractual but undrawn commitments of $22.9$21.6 billion and $7.0$22.9 billion at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, respectively. Since the Firm provides credit enhancement and liquidity to these multi-seller conduits, the maximum exposure is not adjusted to exclude exposure absorbed by third-party liquidity providers.
(b)Heritage JPMorgan Chase only.
(c)(b) In December 2003 and February 2004, two multi-seller conduits were restructured, with each conduit issuing preferred securities acquired by an independent third-party investor; the investor absorbs the majority of the expected losses of the conduit. In determining the primary beneficiary of the restructured conduits, the Firm leveraged an existing rating agency model – an independent market standard – to estimate the size of the expected losses, and the Firm considered the relative rights and obligations of each of the variable interest holders.

The Firm views its credit exposure to multi-seller conduit transactions as limited. This is because, for the most part, the Firm is not required to fund under the liquidity facilities if the assets in the VIE are in default. Additionally, the Firm’s obligations under the letters of credit are secondary to the risk of first loss provided by the customer or other third parties – for example, by the overcollateralization of the VIE with the assets sold to it or notes subordinated to the Firm’s liquidity facilities.

Additionally, the Firm is involved with a structured investment vehicle (“SIV”) that funds a diversified portfolio of highly rated assets by issuing commercial paper, medium-term notes and capital. The assets and liabilities of this SIV were approximately $7.1 billion and are included in the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2004.

Client intermediation
As a financial intermediary, the Firm is involved in structuring VIE transactions to meet investor and client needs. The Firm intermediates various types of risks (including fixed income, equity and credit), typically using derivative instruments as further discussed below. In certain circumstances, the Firm also provides liquidity and other support to the VIEs to facilitate the transaction. The Firm’s current exposure to nonconsolidated VIEs is reflected in its Consolidated balance sheets or in the Notes to consolidated financial statements. The risks

inherent in derivative instruments or liquidity commitments are managed similarly to other credit, market and liquidity risks to which the Firm is exposed. The Firm intermediates principally with the following types of VIEs: structured wholesale loan vehicles, credit-linked note vehicles and municipal bond vehicles and other client-intermediation vehicles, as discussed below. Following this discussion is a table summarizing the total assets held by these vehicles at December 31, 2004 and 2003.vehicles.

The Firm has created structured wholesale loan vehicles managed by third parties, in which loans are purchased from third parties or through the Firm’s syndication and trading functions and funded by issuing commercial paper. The amount of the commercial paper issued by these vehicles totaled $3.4 billion and $5.3 billion as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Investors provide collateral and have a first risk of loss up to the amount of collateral pledged. The Firm retains a second-risk-of-loss position and does not absorb a majority of the expected losses of the vehicles. Documentation includes provisions intended, subject to certain conditions, to enable JPMorgan Chase to terminate the transactions related to a particular loan vehicle if the value of the relevant portfolio declines below a specified level. The Firm also provides liquidity support to these VIEs.

Notes to consolidated financial statements

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The Firm structures credit-linked notes in which the VIE purchases highly-rated assets (such as asset-backed securities) and enters into a credit derivative contract with the Firm to obtain exposure to a referenced credit not held by the VIE. Credit-linked notes are issued by the VIE to transfer the risk of the referenced credit to the investors in the VIE. Clients and investors often prefer a VIE structure, since the credit-linked notes generally carry a higher credit rating than they would if issued directly by JPMorgan Chase.

The Firm is involved with municipal bond vehicles for the purpose of creating a series of secondary market trusts that allow tax-exempt investors to finance their investments at short-term tax-exempt rates. The VIE purchases fixed-rate, longer-term highly ratedhighly-rated municipal bonds by issuing puttable floating-rate certificates and inverse floating-rate certificates; the investors in the inverse floating-rate certificates are exposed to the residual losses of the VIE (the “residual interests”). For vehicles in which the Firm owns the residual interests, the Firm consolidates the VIE. In vehicles where third-party investors own the residual interests, the Firm’s exposure is limited because of the high credit quality of the underlying municipal bonds, the unwind triggers based onupon the market value of the underlying collateral and the residual interests held by third parties. The Firm often serves as remarketing agent for the VIE and provides liquidity to support the remarketing.

Additionally, JPMorgan Chase structures, on behalf of clients, other client intermediation vehicles in which the Firm transfers the risks and returns of the assets held by the VIE, typically debt and equity instruments, to clients through derivative contracts.

Assets held by certain client intermediation–related VIEscredit-linked and municipal bond vehicles at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, were as follows:

(a) JPMorgan Chase was committed to provide liquidity to these VIEsAssets of up to $5.2$1.8 billion and $8.0 billion at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, of which $3.8 billion at December 31, 2004, and $6.3 billion at December 31, 2003, was in the form of asset purchase agreements. The Firm’s maximum exposure to loss to these vehicles at December 31, 2004 and 2003, was $3.2 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, which reflects the netting of collateral and other program limits.
(b)The fair value of the Firm’s derivative contracts with credit-linked note vehicles was not material at December 31, 2004. Assets of $2.3 billion and $2.1 billion reported in the table above were recorded on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, respectively, due to contractual relationships held by the Firm that relate to collateral held by the VIE.

(b) Total amounts consolidated due to the Firm owning residual interests were $4.9 billion and $2.6 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2003,respectively, and are reported in the table. Total liquidity commitments were $3.1$5.8 billion and $1.8$3.1 billion at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, respectively. The Firm’s maximum credit exposure to all municipal bond vehicles was $5.7$10.7 billion and $4.3$5.7 billion at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, respectively.
(d)The Firm’s net exposure arising from these intermediations is not significant.
(e)Heritage JPMorgan Chase only.

Finally, the Firm may enter into transactions with VIEs structured by other parties. These transactions can include, for example, acting as a derivative counterparty, liquidity provider, investor, underwriter, placement agent, trustee or custodian. These transactions are conducted at arm’s length, and individual credit decisions are based upon the analysis of the specific VIE, taking into consideration the quality of the underlying assets. JPMorgan Chase records and reports these positions similarly to any other third-party transaction. These activities do not cause JPMorgan Chase to absorb a majority of the expected losses of the VIEs or to receive a majority of the residual returns of the VIE, and they are not considered significant for disclosure purposes.

Consolidated VIE assets
The following table summarizes the Firm’s total consolidated VIE assets, by classification on the Consolidated balance sheets, as of December 31, 20042005 and 2003:2004:

Interests in purchased receivables include interests in receivables purchased by Firm-administered conduits, which have been consolidated in accordance with FIN 46R. Interests in purchased receivables are carried at cost and are reviewed to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists. Based onupon the current level of credit protection specified in each transaction, primarily through overcollateralization, the Firm determined that no other-than-temporary impairment existed at December 31, 2004.

2005.

The interest-bearing beneficial interest liabilities issued by consolidated VIEs are classified in the line item titled, “Beneficial interests issued by consolidated variable interest entities” on the Consolidated balance sheets. The holders of these beneficial interests do not have recourse to the general credit of JPMorgan Chase. See Note 17 on page 112117 of this Annual Report for the maturity profile of FIN 46 long-term beneficial interests.

FIN 46 transition

Effective February 1, 2003, JPMorgan Chase implemented FIN 46 for VIEs created or modified after January 31, 2003, in which the Firm has an interest. Effective July 1, 2003, the Firm implemented FIN 46 for all VIEs originated prior to February 1, 2003, excluding certain investments made by its private equity business, as discussed above. The effect of adoption was an incremental increase in the Firm’s assets and liabilities of approximately $17 billion at July 1, 2003. As a result of its adoption of FIN 46, the Firm also deconsolidated certain vehicles, primarily the wholly-owned Delaware statutory business trusts further discussed in Note 17 on pages 112–113 of this Annual Report.

Upon adoption of FIN 46, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests of VIEs were generally measured at the amounts at which such interests would have been carried had FIN 46 been effective when the Firm first met the conditions to be considered the primary beneficiary. The difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and the amount of any previously recognized interest in the newly consolidated entity was recognized as a cumulative effect of an accounting change at July 1, 2003, which resulted in a $2 million (after-tax) reduction to the Firm’s consolidated earnings. The Firm also recorded a $34 million (after-tax) reduction in Other comprehensive income, related to AFS securities and derivative cash flow hedges; these were related to entities measured at the amount at which such interests would have been carried had FIN 46 been effective when the Firm first met the conditions of being the primary beneficiary.



108JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2004 Annual Report


FIN 46R transition

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN 46 (“FIN 46R”) to address various technical corrections and implementation issues that had arisen since the issuance of FIN 46. Effective March 31, 2004, JPMorgan Chase implemented FIN 46R for all VIEs, excluding certain investments made by its private equity business, as previously discussed. Implementation of FIN 46R did not have a significant effect on the Firm’s Consolidated financial statements.


JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2005 Annual Report113

The application of FIN 46R involved significant judgments and interpretations by management. The Firm is aware of differing interpretations being developed among accounting professionals and the EITF with regard


Notes to analyzing derivatives under FIN 46R. Management’s current interpretation is that derivatives should be evaluated by focusing on an economic analysis of the rights and obligations of a VIE’s assets, liabilities, equity and other contracts, while considering the entity’s activities and design; the terms of the derivative contract and the role it has with the entity; and whether the derivative contract creates and/or absorbs variability of the VIE. The Firm will continue to monitor developing interpretations.

Note 15 – Goodwill and other intangible assets

Effective January 1, 2002, the Firm adopted SFAS 142, reclassifying certain intangible assets from Goodwill to Other intangible assets. There was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of SFAS 142.

Goodwill is not amortized but instead tested for impairment in accordance with SFAS 142 at the reporting-unit segment, (whichwhich is generally one level below the six major reportable business segments as(as described in Note 31 on pages 126-127130–131 of this Annual Report;Report); plus Private Equity which(which is included in Corporate). Goodwill is tested annually (during the fourth quarter) or more often if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate, indicate there may be impairment. Intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test compares the fair value of the indefinite livedindefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying amount. Other acquired intangible assets determined to have finite lives, such as core deposits and credit card relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful lives in a manner that best reflects the economic benefits of the intangible asset. In addition, impairment testing is performed periodically on these amortizing intangible assets.

Goodwill
As of December 31, 2004,2005, goodwill increased by $34.7 billion$418 million compared with December 31, 2003,2004, principally in connection with the Merger, but also due toestablishment of the business partnership with Cazenove, as well as the acquisitions of EFSVastera, Neovest and a majority stake in Highbridge.the Sears Canada credit card business.

Mortgage servicing rights
JPMorgan Chase recognizes as intangible assets mortgage servicing rights, which represent the right to perform specified residential mortgage servicing activities for others. MSRs are either purchased from third parties or retained upon sale or securitization of mortgage loans. Servicing activities include collecting principal, interest, and escrow payments from borrowers; making tax and insurance payments on behalf of the borrowers; monitoring delinquencies and executing foreclosure proceedings; and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to the investors of the mortgage-backed securities.

The amount capitalized as MSRs represents the amount paid to third parties to acquire MSRs or is based on fair value, if retained upon the sale or securitization of mortgage loans. The Firm estimates the fair value of MSRs using a discounted future cash flow model. The model considers portfolio characteristics, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenues and costs to service, andas well as other economic factors.
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Firm enhanced its valuation of MSRs by utilizing an option-adjusted spread (“OAS”) valuation approach. An OAS approach projects MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios in conjunction with the Firm’s proprietary prepayment model, and then discounts these cash flows at risk-adjusted rates. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2005, MSRs were valued using cash flows and discount rates determined by a “static” or single interest rate path valuation model. The initial valuation of MSRs under OAS did not have a material impact on the Firm’s financial statements.
The Firm compares its fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data where available and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience. Management believes that the assumptions used to estimate fair values are supportable and reasonable.

The Firm accounts for its MSRs at the lower of cost or market,fair value, in accordance with SFAS 140. MSRs are amortized as a reduction of the actual servicing income received in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income stream of the underlying mortgage loans. For purposes of evaluating and measuring impairment of MSRs, the Firm stratifies itsthe portfolio on the basis of the predominant risk characteristics, which are loan type and interest rate. Any indicated impairment is recognized as a reduction in revenue through a valuation allowance, towhich represents the extent that the carrying value of an individual stratum exceeds its estimated fair value.


114JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2005 Annual Report


The Firm evaluates other-than-temporary impairment by reviewing changes in mortgage and other market interest rates over historical periods and then determines an interest rate scenario to estimate the amounts of the MSRs’ gross carrying value and the related valuation allowance that could be expected to be recovered in the foreseeable future. Any gross carrying value and related valuation allowance amountamounts that are not expected to be recovered in the foreseeable future, based upon the interest rate scenario, are considered to be other-than-temporary.



JPMorgan Chase & Co./2004 Annual Report109


Notes to consolidated financial statements

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The carrying value of MSRs is sensitive to changes in interest rates, including their effect on prepayment speeds. JPMorgan Chase uses a combination of derivatives, AFS securities and trading instruments to manage changes in the fair value of MSRs. The intent is to offset any changes in the fair value of MSRs with changes in the fair value of the related risk management instrument. MSRs decrease in value when interest rates decline. Conversely, securities (such as mortgage-backed securities), principal-only certificates and derivatives (when the Firm receives fixed-rate interest payments) decrease in value when interest rates increase. The Firm offsets the interest rate risk of its MSRs by designating certain derivatives (e.g., a combination of swaps, swaptions and floors that produces an interest rate profile opposite to the designated risk of the hedged MSRs) as fair value hedges of specified MSRs under SFAS 133. SFAS 133 hedge accounting allows the carrying value of the hedged MSRs to be adjusted through earnings in the same period that the change in value of the hedging derivatives is recognized through earnings. Both of these valuation adjustments are recorded in Mortgage fees and related income.

When applying SFAS 133, the loans underlying the MSRs being hedged are stratified into specific SFAS 133 asset groupings that possess similar interest rate and prepayment risk exposures. The documented hedge period for the Firm is daily. Daily adjustments are performed to incorporate new or terminated derivative contracts and to modify the amount of the corresponding similar asset grouping that is being hedged. The Firm has designated changes in the benchmark interest rate (LIBOR) as the hedged risk. In designating the benchmark interest rate, the Firm considers the impact that the change in the benchmark rate has on the prepayment speed estimates in determining the fair value of the MSRs. The Firm performs both prospective and retrospective hedge effectivenesshedge-effectiveness evaluations, using a regression analysis, to determine whether the hedge relationship is expected to be highly effective. Hedge effectiveness is assessed by comparing the change in value of the MSRs as a result of changes in benchmark interest rates to the change in the value of the designated derivatives. For a further discussion on derivative instruments and hedging activities, see Note 26 on pages 118-119page 123 of this Annual Report.

Securities (both AFS and Trading) also are also used to manage the risk exposure of MSRs. Because these securities do not qualify as hedges under SFAS 133, they are accounted for under SFAS 115, with realized gains and losses115. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are recognized in earnings in Securities/private equity gains,Mortgage fees and related income; interest income on the AFS securities is recognized in earnings in Net interest income,income; and unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities are reported in Other comprehensive income. Finally, certain non-hedgenonhedge derivatives, which have not been designated by management in SFAS 133 hedge relationships, are used to manage the economic risk exposure of MSRs and are recorded in Mortgage fees and related income.

Certain AFS securities purchased by the Firm to manage structural interest rate risk were designated in 2005 as risk management instruments of MSRs. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the unrealized loss on AFS securities used to manage the risk exposure of MSRs was $174 million and $3 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes MSR activity and related amortization for the dates indicated. It also includes the key assumptions and the sensitivity of the fair value of MSRs at December 31, 2004,2005, to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in each of those assumptions.

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

The valuation allowance represents the extent to which the carrying value of MSRs exceeds its estimated fair value for its applicable SFAS 140 strata. Changes in the valuation allowance are the result of the recognition of impairment or the recovery of previously recognized impairment charges due to changes in market conditions during the period. The changes in the valuation allowance for MSRs were as follows:

Notes to consolidated financial statements
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

During 2004 and 2003, the

The Firm recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of its MSRs of $1 million, $149 million and $283 million, in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which permanently reduced the gross carrying value of the MSRs and the related valuation allowance. The permanent reduction precludes subsequent reversals. This write-down had no impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Firm.

Note 16 – Premises and equipment

Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. JPMorgan Chase computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of an asset. For leasehold improvements, the Firm uses the straight-line method computed over the lesser of the remaining term of the leased facility or 10 years.

JPMorgan Chase has recorded immaterial asset retirement obligations

related to asbestos remediation under SFAS 143 and FIN 47 in those cases where it has sufficient information to estimate the obligations’ fair value.

Note 20 – Earnings per share

SFAS 128 requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) in the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the same method as basic EPS but, in the denominator, the number of common shares reflect, in addition to outstanding shares, the potential dilution that could occur if convertible securities or other contracts to issue common stock were converted or exercised into common stock. Net income available for common stock is the same for basic EPS and diluted EPS, as JPMorgan Chase had no convertible securities, and therefore, no adjustments to net income available for common stock were necessary. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for 2005, 2004 2003 and 2002:

Note 22 – Income taxes

JPMorgan Chase and its eligible subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. JPMorgan Chase uses the asset-and-liability method required by SFAS 109 to provide income taxes on all transactions recorded in the Consolidated financial statements. This method requires that income taxes reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities for book and tax purposes. Accordingly, a deferred tax liability or asset for each temporary difference is determined based onupon the tax rates that the Firm expects to be in effect when the underlying items of income and expense are realized. JPMorgan Chase’s expense for income taxes includes the current and deferred portions of that expense. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount the Firm expects to realize.

Due to the inherent complexities arising from the nature of the Firm’s businesses, and from conducting business and being taxed in a substantial number of jurisdictions, significant judgments and estimates are required to be made. Agreement of tax liabilities between JPMorgan Chase and the many tax jurisdictions in which the Firm files tax returns may not be finalized for several years. Thus, the Firm’s final tax-related assets and liabilities may ultimately be different.

Deferred income tax expense (benefit) results from differences between assets and liabilities measured for financial reporting and for income-tax return purposes. The significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected in the following table:

On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. companies to repatriate accumulated foreign earnings at a substantially reduced U.S. effective tax rate by providing a dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to the U.S. taxpayer (the “repatriation provision”). The new deduction is subject to a number of limitations and requirements and is effective for eitherrequirements.

In the 2004 orfourth quarter of 2005, tax years for calendar year taxpayers. The range of possible amounts that may be considered for repatriation under this provision is between zero and $1.9 billion. Thethe Firm is currently assessing the impact ofapplied the repatriation provision and, at this time, cannot reasonably estimateto $1.9 billion of cash from foreign earnings, resulting in a net tax benefit of $55 million.

Note 23 – Restrictions on cash and intercompany funds transfers

JPMorgan Chase Bank’s business is subject to examination and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (��OCC”). The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
The Federal Reserve Board requires depository institutions to maintain cash reserves with a Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of reserve balances deposited by the Firm’s bank subsidiaries with various Federal Reserve Banks was approximately $2.7 billion in 2005 and $3.8 billion in 2004 and $2.6 billion in 2003.

2004.

Restrictions imposed by federal law prohibit JPMorgan Chase and certain other affiliates from borrowing from banking subsidiaries unless the loans are secured in specified amounts. Such secured loans to the Firm or to other affiliates are generally limited to 10% of the banking subsidiary’s total capital, as determined by the risk-based capital guidelines; the aggregate amount of all such loans is limited to 20% of the banking subsidiary’s total capital.

The principal sources of JPMorgan Chase’s income (on a parent company-only basis) are dividends and interest from JPMorgan Chase Bank and the other banking and nonbanking subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase. In addition to dividend restrictions set forth in statutes and regulations, the FRB, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”)OCC and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)FDIC have authority under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act to prohibit or to limit the payment of dividends by the banking organizations they supervise, including JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries that are banks or bank holding companies, if, in the banking regulator’s opinion, payment of a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice in light of the financial condition of the banking organization.

At January 1, 20052006 and 2004,2005, JPMorgan Chase’s bank subsidiaries could pay, in the aggregate, $6.2$7.4 billion and $4.4$6.2 billion, respectively, in dividends to their respective bank holding companies without prior approval of their relevant banking regulators. Dividend capacity in 20052006 will be supplemented by the banks’ earnings during the year.

In compliance with rules and regulations established by U.S. and non-U.S. regulators, as of December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, cash in the amount of $4.3$6.4 billion and $3.5$4.3 billion, respectively, and securities with a fair value of $3.6$2.1 billion and $3.1$2.7 billion, respectively, were segregated in special bank accounts for the benefit of securities and futures brokerage customers.

Note 24 – Capital

There are two categories of risk-based capital: Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital includes common stockholders’ equity, qualifying preferred stock and minority interest less goodwill and other adjustments. Tier 2 capital consists of preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1, subordinated long-term debt and other instruments qualifying as Tier 2, and the aggregate allowance for credit losses up to a certain percentage of risk-weighted assets. Total regulatory capital is subject to deductions for investments in certain subsidiaries. Under the risk-based capital guidelines of the FRB, JPMorgan Chase is required to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and totalTotal (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) capital to risk-weighted assets, as well as minimum leverage ratios (which are defined as Tier 1 capital to average adjusted on-balanceon–balance sheet assets). Failure to meet these minimum requirements could cause the FRB to take action. Bank subsidiaries also are subject to these capital requirements by their respective primary regulators. As of December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, JPMorgan Chase and all of its primary banking subsidiaries were well-capitalized and met all capital requirements to which each was subject.

While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, the amount of the Firm’s Litigation reserve at December 31, 2004, reflected management’s assessment of the appropriate litigation reserve levelmanagement believes, in light of all information known as ofto it at December 31, 2005, that the Firm’s litigation reserves were adequate at such date. Management reviews litigation reserves periodically, and the reservereserves may be increased or decreased in the future to reflect further litigation developments. The Firm believes it has meritorious defenses to claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding litigation and, with respect to such litigation, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management’s judgment as to what is in the best interest of stockholders.

Note 26 – Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities

Derivative instruments enable end users to increase, reduce or alter exposure to credit or market risks. The value of a derivative is derived from its reference to an underlying variable or combination of variables such as equity, foreign exchange, credit, commodity or interest rate prices or indices. JPMorgan Chase makes markets in derivatives for its customers and also is an end-user of derivatives in order to manage the Firm’s exposure to credit and market risks.

SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138 and SFAS 149, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including those used for trading and hedging activities, and derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. All free-standing derivatives, whether designated for hedging relationships or not, are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in value of a derivative depends on whether the contract is for trading purposes or has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. The majority of the Firm’s derivatives are entered into for trading purposes. The Firm also uses derivatives as an end user to hedge market exposures, modify the interest rate characteristics of related balance sheet instruments or meet longer-term investment objectives. Both trading and end-user derivatives are recorded at fair value in Trading assets and Trading liabilities as set forth in Note 3 on pages 90–91page 94 of this Annual Report.

In order to qualify for hedge accounting, a derivative must be considered highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. Each derivative must be designated as a hedge, with documentation of the risk management objective and strategy, including identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item and the risk exposure, and how effectiveness is to be assessed prospectively and retrospectively. The extent to which a hedging instrument is effective at achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows must be assessed at least quarterly. Any ineffectiveness must be reported in current-period earnings. For certain types of hedge relationships meeting stringent criteria, SFAS 133’s “shortcut” method provides for an assumption of zero ineffectiveness. Under the shortcut method, quarterly effectiveness assessment is not required, and the entire change in the fair value of the hedging derivative is considered to be effective at achieving offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows. Due to the strict criteria of the shortcut method, the Firm’s use of this method is primarily limited to hedges of Long-term debt.

For qualifying fair value hedges, all changes in the fair value of the derivative and in the fair value of the item for the risk being hedged are recognized in earnings. If the hedge relationship is terminated, then the fair value adjustment to the hedged item continues to be reported as part of the basis of the item and is amortized to earnings as a yield adjustment. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded

in Other comprehensive income and recognized in the income statement when the hedged cash flows affect earnings. The ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are immediately recognized in earnings. If the hedge relationship is terminated, then the change in fair value of the derivative recorded in Other comprehensive income is recognized when the cash flows that were hedged occur, consistent with the original hedge strategy. For hedge

relationships discontinued because the forecasted transaction is not expected to occur according to the original strategy, any related derivative amounts recorded in Other comprehensive income are immediately recognized in earnings. For qualifying net investment hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative or the revaluation of the foreign currency–denominatedcurrency-denominated debt instrument are recorded in the translation adjustments account within Other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are immediately recognized in earnings.

JPMorgan Chase’s fair value hedges primarily include hedges of fixed-rate long-term debt, loans, AFS securities and MSRs. Interest rate swaps are the most common type of derivative contract used to modify exposure to interest rate risk, converting fixed-rate assets and liabilities to a floating rate. Interest rate options, swaptions and forwards are also used in combination with interest rate swaps to hedge the fair value of the Firm’s MSRs. For a further discussion of MSR risk management activities, see Note 15 on pages 109–111114–116 of this Annual Report. All amounts have been included in earnings consistent with the classification of the hedged item, primarily Net interest income, Mortgage fees and related income, and Other income. The Firm did not recognize any gains or losses during 20042005 on firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges.

JPMorgan Chase also enters into derivative contracts to hedge exposure to variability in cash flows from floating-rate financial instruments and forecasted transactions, primarily the rollover of short-term assets and liabilities, and foreign currency-denominated revenues and expenses. Interest rate swaps, futures and forward contracts are the most common instruments used to reduce the impact of interest rate and foreign exchange rate changes on future earnings. All amounts affecting earnings have been recognized consistent with the classification of the hedged item, primarily Net interest income.

The Firm uses forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency-denominated debt instruments to protect the value of its net investments in foreign currencies in its non-U.S. subsidiaries. The portion of the hedging instruments excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness (forward points) is recorded in Net interest income.

The following table presents derivative instrument hedging-related activities for the periods indicated:
             
Year ended December 31, (in millions)(a) 2004 2003 2005 2004

(c)Amount restated to include the ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness associated with MSR hedging results.

Over the next 12 months, it is expected that $157$44 million (after-tax) of net gains recorded in Other comprehensive income at December 31, 2004,2005, will be recognized in earnings. The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is 10 years, relatedand such transactions primarily relate to core lending and borrowing activities.



118JPMorgan Chase & Co./2004 Annual Report


JPMorgan Chase does not seek to apply hedge accounting to all of itsthe Firm’s economic hedges. For example, the Firm does not apply hedge accounting to standard credit derivatives used to manage the credit risk of loans and commitments because of the difficulties in qualifying such contracts as hedges under SFAS 133. Similarly, the Firm does not apply hedge accounting to certain interest rate derivatives used as economic hedges.

Note 27 – Off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees

JPMorgan Chase utilizes lending-related financial instruments (e.g., commitments and guarantees) to meet the financing needs of its customers. The contractual amount of these financial instruments represents the maximum possible credit risk should the counterparty draw down the commitment or the Firm fulfillfulfills its obligation under the guarantee, and the counterparty subsequently failedfails to perform according to the terms of the contract. Most of these commitments and guarantees expire without a default occurring or without being drawn. As a result, the total contractual amount of these instruments is not, in the Firm’s view, representative of its actual future credit exposure or funding requirements. Further, certain commitments, primarily related to consumer financings, are cancelable, upon notice, at the option of the Firm.

To provide for the risk of loss inherent in wholesale-related contracts, an allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments is maintained. See Note 12 on pages 102–103107–108 of this Annual Report for a further discussion on the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments.

The following table summarizes the contractual amounts of off–balanceoff-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees and the related allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments at December 31, 20042005 and 2003:

FIN 45 establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, requiring that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability in an amount equal to the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. FIN 45 defines a guarantee as a contract that contingently requires the Firm to pay a guaranteed party, based on:upon: (a) changes in an underlying asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed party; or (b) a third party’s failure to perform under a specified agreement. The Firm considers the following off–balanceoff-balance sheet lending arrangements to be guarantees under FIN 45: certain asset purchase agreements, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, securities lending indemnifications, certain indemnification agreements included within third-party contractual arrangements and certain derivative contracts. These guarantees are described in further detail below.

As of January 1, 2003, newly issued or modified guarantees that are not derivative contracts have been recorded on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets at their

The fair value at inception. The fair valueinception of the obligation undertaken inwhen issuing the guarantee at inceptionguarantees and commitments that qualify under FIN 45 is typically equal to the net present value of the future amount of premium receivable under the contract. The Firm has recorded this amount in Other Liabilities with an offsetting entry recorded in Other Assets. As cash is received under the contract, it is applied to the premium receivable recorded in Other Assets, and the fair value of the liability recorded at inception is amortized into income as Lending & deposit related fees over the life of the guarantee contract. The amount of the liability related to FIN 45 guarantees recorded at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, excluding the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments and derivative contracts discussed below, was approximately $313 million and $341 million, and $59 million, respectively.

Unfunded commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend only when a customer has complied with predetermined conditions, and they generally expire on fixed dates. The allowance for credit losses on wholesale lending-related commitments includes $185 million and $153 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to unfunded commitments to extend credit.
The majority of the Firm’s unfunded commitments are not guarantees as defined in FIN 45, except for certain asset purchase agreements. These asset-purchase agreements that are principally used as a mechanism to provide liquidity to SPEs, primarily multi-seller conduits, as described in Note 14 on pages 106–109111–113 of this Annual Report.

Certain Some of these asset purchase agreements can be exercised at any time by the SPE’s administrator, while others require a triggering event to occur. Triggering events include, but are not limited to, a need for liquidity, a market value decline of the assets or a downgrade in the rating of JPMorgan Chase Bank. These agreements may cause the Firm to purchase an asset from the SPE at an amount above the asset’s fair value, in effect providing a guarantee of the initial value of the reference asset as of the date of the agreement. In most instances, third-party credit enhancements of the SPE mitigate the Firm’s potential losses on these agreements. The allowance for credit losses on wholesale lending-related commitments related to these agreements was insignificant at December 31, 2004.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional lending commitments issued by JPMorgan Chase to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party under certain arrangements, such as commercial paper facilities, bond financings, acquisition financings, trade and similar transactions. Approximately 70%58% of these arrangements mature within three years. The Firm typically has recourse to recover from the customer any amounts paid under these guarantees; in addition, the Firm may hold cash or other highly liquid collateral to support these guarantees. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Firm held collateral relating to $9.0 billion and 2003,

$7.4 billion, respectively, of these arrangements.

JPMorgan Chase & Co.

the Firm held collateral relating to $7.4 billion and $7.7 billion, respectively, of these arrangements. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments at December 31, 2004 and 2003, included $292 million and $165 million, respectively, related to standby letters of credit and financial guarantees.

The Firm holds customers’ securities under custodial arrangements. At times, these securities are loaned to third parties, and the Firm issues securities lending indemnification agreements to the customer that protect the customer against the risk of loss if the third party fails to return the securities. To support these indemnification agreements, the Firm obtains from the third party cash or other highly liquid collateral with a market value exceeding 100% of the value of the loaned securities. If the third-party borrower fails to return the securities, the Firm would use the collateral to purchase the securities in the market and would be exposed if the value of the collateral fell below 100%. The Firm invests third-party cash collateral received in support of the indemnification agreements. In a few cases where the cash collateral is invested in resale agreements, the Firm indemnifies the third party against reinvestment risk. At December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, the Firm held $221.6$245.0 billion and $146.7$221.6 billion, respectively, in collateral in support of these agreements.

securities lending indemnification arrangements. Based upon historical experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.

In connection with issuing securities to investors, the Firm may enter into contractual arrangements with third parties that may require the Firm to make a payment to them in the event of a change in tax law or an adverse interpretation of tax law. In certain cases, the contract may also include a termination clause, which would allow the Firm to settle the contract at its fair value; thus, such a clause would not require the Firm to make a payment under the indemnification agreement. Even without the termination clause, management does not expect such indemnification agreements to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of JPMorgan Chase. The Firm may also enter into indemnification clauses when it sells a business or assets to a third party, pursuant to which it indemnifies that third party for losses it may incur due to actions taken by the Firm prior to the sale. See below for more information regarding the Firm’s loan securitization activities. It is difficult to estimate the Firm’s maximum exposure under these indemnification arrangements, since this would require an assessment of future changes in tax law and future claims that may be made against the Firm that have not yet occurred. However, based onupon historical experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.

As part of the Firm’s loan securitization activities, as described in Note 13 on pages 103–106108–111 of this Annual Report, the Firm provides representations and warranties that certain securitized loans meet specific requirements. The Firm may be required to repurchase the loans and/or indemnify the purchaser of the loans against losses due to any breaches of such representations or warranties. Generally, the maximum amount of future payments the Firm would be required to make under such repurchase and/or indemnification provisions would be equal to the current amount of assets held by such securitization-related SPEs as of December 31, 2004,2005, plus, in certain circumstances, accrued and unpaid interest on such loans and certain expenses. The potential loss due to such repurchase and/or indemnity is mitigated by the due diligence the Firm performs before the sale to ensure that the assets comply with the requirements set forth in the representations and warranties. Historically, losses incurred on such repurchases and/or indemnifications have been insignificant, and therefore management expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

In connection with Card Services, the

The Firm is a partner with one of the leading companies in electronic payment services in two separate ventures,a joint venture operating under the name of Chase Paymentech Solutions, LLC (the “joint venture”). The joint venture was formed in October 2005 as a result of an agreement to integrate the Firm’s jointly-owned Chase Merchant Services (“CMS”) and Paymentech (the “ventures”),merchant businesses, the latter of which was acquired as a result of the Merger. These ventures provideThe joint venture provides merchant processing services in the United States and Canada.

However, in the unlikely event that: 1) a merchant ceases operations and is unable to deliver products, services or a refund; 2) the ventures dojoint venture does not have sufficient collateral from the merchants to provide customer refunds; and 3) the ventures dojoint venture does not have sufficient financial resources to provide customer refunds, the Firm would be liable to refund the cardholder in proportion to its approximate equity interest in the ventures.joint venture. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the joint venture, along with the integrated businesses of CMS and Paymentech, incurred aggregate credit losses of $11 million on $563 billion of aggregate volume processed, of which the Firm shared liability only on $200 billion of aggregate volume processed. At December 31, 2005, the joint venture held $909 million of collateral. In 2004, the CMS and Paymentech ventures incurred aggregate credit losses of $7.1 million on $396 billion of aggregate volume processed, of which the Firm shared liability only on $205 billion of aggregate volume processed. At December 31, 2004, the CMS and Paymentech ventures held $620 million of collateral. In 2003, the Chase Merchant Services venture incurred aggregate credit losses of $2.0 million on $260 billion of aggregate volume processed, of which the Firm shared liability only on $77 billion of aggregate volume processed. At December 31, 2003, the Chase Merchant Services venture held $242 million of collateral. The Firm believes that, based onupon historical experience and the collateral held by the ventures,joint venture, the fair value of the guarantee would not be different materially different from the credit loss allowance recorded by the ventures;joint venture; therefore, the Firm has not recorded any allowance for losses in excess of the allowance recorded by the ventures.

joint venture.

The Firm is a member of several securities and futures exchanges and clearinghousesclearing-houses both in the United States and overseas. Membership in some of these organizations requires the Firm to pay a pro rata share of the losses incurred by the organization as a result of the default of another member. Such obligation varies with different organizations. It may be limited to members who dealt with the defaulting member or to the amount (or a multiple of the amount) of the Firm’s contribution to a members’ guaranty fund, or, in a few cases, it may be unlimited. It is difficult to estimate the Firm’s maximum exposure under these membership agreements, since this would require an assessment of future claims that may be made against the Firm that have not yet occurred. However, based onupon historical experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.

In addition to the contracts described above, there are certain derivative contracts to which the Firm is a counterparty that meet the characteristics of a guarantee under FIN 45. These derivatives are recorded on the Consolidated balance sheets at fair value. These contracts include written put options that require the Firm to purchase assets from the option holder at a specified price by a specified date in the future, as well as derivatives that effectively guarantee the return on a counterparty’s reference portfolio of assets. The total notional value of the derivatives that the Firm deems to be guarantees was $53$62 billion and $50$53 billion at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, respectively. The Firm reduces its exposures to these contracts by entering into offsetting transactions or by entering into contracts that hedge the market risk related to these contracts. The fair value related to these contracts was a derivative receivable of $180$198 million and $163$180 million, and a derivative payable of $622$767 million and $333$622 million at December 31, 20042005 and 2003,2004, respectively. Finally, certain written put options and credit derivatives permit cash settlement and do not require the option holder or the buyer of credit protection to own the reference asset. The Firm does not consider these contracts to be guarantees as described in FIN 45.

Note 28 – Credit risk concentrations

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of customers are engaged in similar business activities or activities in the same geographic region, or when they have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions.

JPMorgan Chase regularly monitors various segments of itsthe credit risk portfolio to assess potential concentration risks and to obtain collateral when deemed necessary. In the Firm’s wholesale portfolio, risk concentrations are evaluated primarily evaluated by industry and by geographic region. In the consumer portfolio, concentrations are evaluated primarily evaluated by product and by U.S. geographic region.

The Firm does not believe exposure to any one loan product with varying terms (e.g., interest-only payments for an introductory period) or exposure to loans with high loan-to-value ratios would result in a significant concentration

of credit risk. Terms of loan products and collateral coverage are included in the Firm’s assessment when extending credit and establishing its allowance for loan losses.
For further information regarding on-balance sheet credit concentrations by major product and geography, see Note 11 on page 101106 of this Annual Report. For information regarding concentrations of off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments by major product, see Note 27 on page 119124 of this Annual Report.

Note 29 – Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The accounting for an asset or liability may differ based onupon the type of instrument and/or its use in a trading or investing strategy. Generally, the measurement framework in the consolidated financial statements is one of the following:

 at fair value on the Consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded each period in the Consolidated statements of income;
 
 at fair value on the Consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded each period in a separate component of Stockholders’ equity and as part of Other comprehensive income;

 at cost (less other-than-temporary impairments), with changes in fair value not recorded in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed in the notes thereto; or
 
 at the lower of cost or fair value.

The Firm has an established and well-documented process for determining fair values. Fair value is based onupon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based onupon internally-developed models that primarily use market-based or independent information as inputs to the valuation model. Valuation adjustments may be necessary to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, liquidity and concentration concerns and are based onupon defined methodologies that are applied consistently over time.

Credit valuation adjustments are necessary when the market price (or parameter) is not indicative of the credit quality of the counterparty. As few derivative contracts are listed on an exchange, the majority of derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use as their basis observable market parameters. Market practice is to quote parameters equivalent to a AA credit rating; thus, all counterparties are assumed to have the same credit quality. An adjustment is therefore necessary to reflect the credit quality of each derivative counterparty and to arrive at fair value. Without this adjustment, derivative positions would not be appropriately valued.

Credit valuation adjustments are necessary when the market price (or parameter) is not indicative of the credit quality of the counterparty. As few derivative contracts are listed on an exchange, the majority of derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use as their basis observable market parameters. Market practice is to quote parameters equivalent to a AA credit rating; thus, all counterparties are assumed to have the same credit quality. An adjustment is therefore necessary to reflect the credit quality of each derivative counterparty and to arrive at fair value. Without this adjustment, derivative positions would not be appropriately valued.
 Liquidity adjustments are necessary when the Firm may not be able to observe a recent market price for a financial instrument that trades in inactive (or less active) markets. Thus, valuation adjustments for risk of loss due to a lack of liquidity are applied to those positions to arrive at fair value. The Firm tries to ascertain the amount of uncertainty in the initial valuation based upon the liquidity or illiquidity, as the case may be, of the market in which the instrument trades and makes liquidity adjustments to the financial instruments. The Firm measures the liquidity adjustment based onupon the following factors: (1) the amount of time since the last relevant pricing point; (2) whether there was an actual trade or relevant external quote; and (3) the volatility of the principal component of the financial instrument.
 
 Concentration valuation adjustments are necessary to reflect the cost of unwinding larger-than-normal market-size risk positions. The cost is determined based onupon the size of the adverse market move that is likely to occur during the extended period required to bring a position down to a nonconcentrated level. An estimate of the period needed to reduce, without market disruption, a position to a nonconcentrated level is generally based onupon the relationship of the position to the average daily trading volume of that position. Without these adjustments, larger positions would be valued at a price greater than the price at which the Firm could exit the positions.

Valuation adjustments are determined based onupon established policies and are controlled by a price verification group independent of the risk-taking function. Economic substantiation of models, prices, market inputs and revenue through price/input testing, as well as backtesting, is done to validate the appropriateness of the valuation methodology. Any changes to the valuation methodology are reviewed by management to ensure the changes are justified.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from the scope of SFAS 107. Accordingly, the fair value disclosures required by SFAS 107 provide only a partial estimate of the fair value of JPMorgan Chase. For example, the Firm has developed long-term relationships with its customers through its deposit base and credit card accounts, commonly referred to as core deposit intangibles and credit card relationships. In the opinion of management, these items, in the aggregate, add significant value to JPMorgan Chase, but their fair value is not disclosed in this Note.

The following describesitems describe the methodologies and assumptions used, by financial instrument, to determine fair value.

Financial assets

Assets for which fair value approximates carrying value
The Firm considers fair values of certain financial assets carried at cost – including cash and due from banks, deposits with banks, securities borrowed, short-term receivables and accrued interest receivable – to approximate their respective carrying values, due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk.

Assets where fair value differs from cost
The Firm’s debt, equity and derivative trading instruments are carried at their estimated fair value. Quoted market prices, when available, are used to determine the fair value of trading instruments. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of instruments with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.

Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements are typically short-term in nature and, as such, for a significant majority of the Firm’s transactions, cost approximates carrying value. This balance sheet item also includes structured resale agreements and similar products with long-dated maturities. To estimate the fair value of these instruments, cash flows are discounted using the appropriate market rates for the applicable maturity.

Securities
Fair values of actively traded securities are determined by the secondary market, while the fair values for nonactively traded securities are based onupon independent broker quotations.

Derivatives
Fair value for derivatives is determined based onupon the following:

 position valuation, principally based onupon liquid market pricing as evidenced by exchange-traded prices, broker-dealer quotations or related input parameters, which assume all counterparties have the same credit rating;
 
 credit valuation adjustments to the resulting portfolio valuation, to reflect the credit quality of individual counterparties; and
 
 other fair value adjustments to take into consideration liquidity, concentration and other factors.

For those derivatives valued based onupon models with significant unobservable market parameters, the Firm defers the initial trading profit for these financial instruments. The deferred profit is recognized in Trading revenue on a systematic basis (typically straight-line amortization over the life of the instruments) and when observable market data becomes available.

The fair value of derivative payables does not incorporate a valuation adjustment to reflect JPMorgan Chase’s credit quality.

Interests in purchased receivables
The fair value of variable-rate interests in purchased receivables approximate their respective carrying amounts due to their variable interest terms and negligible credit risk. The estimated fair values for fixed-rate interests in purchased receivables are determined using a discounted cash flow analysis using appropriate market rates for similar instruments.



122JPMorgan Chase & Co./2004 Annual Report


Loans

Fair value for loans is determined using methodologies suitable for each type of loan:

 Fair value for the wholesale loan portfolio is estimated primarily, using the cost of credit derivatives, which is adjusted to account for the differences in recovery rates between bonds, onupon which the cost of credit derivatives is based, and loans.
 
 Fair values for consumer installment loans (including automobile financings) and consumer real estate, for which market rates for comparable loans are readily available, are based onupon discounted cash flows adjusted for prepayments. The discount rates used for consumer installment loans are current rates offered by commercial banks. For consumer real estate, secondary market yields for comparable mortgage-backed securities, adjusted for risk, are used.
 
 Fair value for credit card receivables is based onupon discounted expected cash flows. The discount rates used for credit card receivables incorporate only the effects of interest rate changes, since the expected cash flows already reflect an adjustment for credit risk.


 
JPMorgan Chase & Co. / 2005 Annual Report The fair value of loans in the held-for-sale and trading portfolios is generally based on observable market prices and on prices of similar instruments, including bonds, credit derivatives and loans with similar characteristics. If market prices are not available, the fair value is based on the estimated cash flows adjusted for credit risk; that risk is discounted, using a rate appropriate for each maturity that incorporates the effects of interest rate changes.127

The fair value of loans in the held-for-sale and trading portfolios is generally based upon observable market prices and upon prices of similar instruments, including bonds, credit derivatives and loans with similar characteristics. If market prices are not available, the fair value is based upon the estimated cash flows adjusted for credit risk; that risk is discounted, using a rate appropriate for each maturity that incorporates the effects of interest rate changes.
Other assets
Commodities inventory is carried at the lower of cost or fair value. For the majority of commodities inventory, fair value is determined by reference to prices in highly active and liquid markets. The fair value for other commodities inventory is determined primarily using pricing and other data derived from less liquid and developing markets where the underlying commodities are traded. This caption also includes private equity investments and MSRs.

For a discussion of the fair value methodology for private equity investments, see Note 9 on page 100105 of this Annual Report.

For a discussion of the fair value methodology for MSRs, see Note 15 on pages 109-111114–116 of this Annual Report.

Financial liabilities

Liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value
SFAS 107 requires that the fair value for deposit liabilities with no stated maturity (i.e., demand, savings and certain money market deposits) be equal to their carrying value. SFAS 107 does not allow for the recognition of the inherent funding value of these instruments.

Fair value of commercial paper, other borrowed funds, accounts payable and accrued liabilities is considered to approximate their respective carrying values due to their short-term nature.

Interest-bearing deposits

Fair values of interest-bearing deposits are estimated by discounting cash flows based onupon the remaining contractual maturities of funds having similar interest rates and similar maturities.

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements are typically short-term in nature; as such, for a significant majority of these transactions, cost approximates carrying value. This balance sheet item also includes structured repurchase agreements and similar products with long-dated maturities. To estimate the fair value of these instruments, the cash flows are discounted using the appropriate market rates for the applicable maturity.

Beneficial interests issued by consolidated VIEs
Beneficial interests issued by consolidated VIEs (“beneficial interests”) are generally short-term in nature and, as such, for a significant majority of the Firm’s transactions, cost approximates carrying value. The Consolidated balance sheets also include beneficial interests with long-dated maturities. The fair value of these instruments is based onupon current market rates.

Long-term debt-related instruments
Fair value for long-term debt, including the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures held by trusts that issued guaranteed capital debt securities, is based onupon current market rates and is adjusted for JPMorgan Chase’s credit quality.

Lending-related commitments
Although there is no liquid secondary market for wholesale commitments, the Firm estimates the fair value of its wholesale lending-related commitments primarily using the cost of credit derivatives (which is adjusted to account for the difference in recovery rates between bonds, onupon which the cost of credit derivatives is based, and loans) and loan equivalents (which represent the portion of an unused commitment expected, based onupon the Firm’s average portfolio historical experience, to become outstanding in the event an obligor defaults). The Firm estimates the fair value of its consumer commitments to extend credit based onupon the primary market prices to originate new commitments. It is the change in current primary market prices that provides the estimate of the fair value of these commitments.

On this basis, at December 31, 2004 and 2003,2005, the estimated fair value of the Firm’s lending-related commitments approximated the Allowance for lending-related commitmentswas a liability of $492 million and $324 million, respectively.

$0.5 billion, compared with $0.1 billion at December 31, 2004.

Note 30 – International operations

The following table presents income statement information of JPMorgan Chase by major geographic area. The Firm defines international activities as business transactions that involve customers residing outside of the United States, and the information presented below is based primarily onupon the domicile of the customer. However, many of the Firm’s U.S. operations serve international businesses.

As the Firm’s operations are highly integrated, estimates and subjective assumptions have been made to apportion revenue and expense between U.S. and international operations. These estimates and assumptions are consistent with the allocations used for the Firm’s segment reporting as set forth in Note 31 on pages 126-127130-131 of this Annual Report.

The Firm’s long-lived assets for the periods presented are not considered by management to be significant in relation to total assets. The majority of the Firm’s long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Note 31 – Business segments

JPMorgan Chase is organized into six major reportable business segments: thesegments (the Investment Bank, Retail Financial Services, Card Services, Commercial Banking, Treasury & Securities Services and Asset & Wealth Management,Management), as well as a Corporate segment. The segments are based onupon the products and services provided or the type of customer served, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Results of these lines of business are presented on an operating basis. For a definition of operating basis, see the footnotes to the table below. For a further discussion concerning JPMorgan Chase’s business segments, see Business segment results on pages 28-2934-35 of this Annual Report.

In the third quarter of 2004, in connection with the Merger, business segment reporting was realigned to reflect the new business structure of the combined Firm. Treasury was transferred from the Investment Bank into Corporate. The segment formerly known as Chase Financial Services had been comprised of Chase Home Finance, Chase Cardmember Services, Chase Auto Finance, Chase Regional Banking and Chase Middle Market; as a result of the Merger, this segment is now called Retail Financial Services and is comprised of Home Finance, Auto & Education Finance, Consumer & Small Business Banking and Insurance. Chase Middle Market moved into Commercial Banking, and Chase Cardmember Services is now its own segment called Card Services. Treasury & Securities Services, remains unchanged.and Chase Middle Market moved into Commercial Banking. Investment Management & Private Banking has beenwas renamed Asset & Wealth Management. JPMorgan Partners, which formerly was a stand-alone business segment, was moved into Corporate. Lastly,

Corporate currently comprises Private Equity (JPMorgan Partners and ONE Equity Partners) and Treasury, and the

(a) In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management looks atreviews the line of business results on an “operating basis,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure. OperatingThe definition of operating basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results. In the case of the Investment Bank, the operating basis noninterest revenue includes, the reclassification of netin Trading revenue, Net interest income (“NII”) related to trading activities to Trading revenue.activities. In the case of Card Services, refer to footnote (f)(e). These adjustments do not change JPMorgan Chase’s reported net income. Finally, operatingOperating basis also excludes the Merger costs, thenonoperating Litigation reserve chargecharges and accounting policy conformity adjustments, related to the Merger, as management believes these items are not part of the Firm’s normal daily business operations (and, therefore, not indicative of trends) and do not provide meaningful comparisons with other periods. Finally, operating results reflect revenues (Noninterest revenue and NII) on a tax-equivalent basis. Refer to footnote (f) for the impact of these adjustments.
(b) 2004 results include six months of the combined Firm’s results and six months of heritage JPMorgan Chase results. All other periods reflect2003 reflects the results of heritage JPMorgan Chase only.
(c)Intersegment revenue includes intercompany revenue and revenue-sharing agreements, net of intersegment expenses. Transactions between business segments are primarily conducted at fair value.
(d) TSS reimburses the IB for credit portfolio exposures the IB manages on behalf of clients the segments share. At the time of the Merger, the reimbursement methodology was revised to be based onupon pre-tax earnings, net of the cost of capital related to those exposures. Prior to the Merger, the credit reimbursement was based onupon pre-tax earnings, plus the allocated capital associated with the shared clients.
(e)(d) Segment operating results include the reclassification of Net interest income (“NII”)NII related to trading activities to Trading revenue within Noninterest revenue, which impacts primarily impacts the Investment Bank. Trading-related NII reclassified to Trading revenue was $159 million, $2.0 billion and $2.1 billion in 2005, 2004 and $1.9 billion for 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. These amounts are eliminated in Corporate/reconciling items to arrive at NII and Noninterest revenue on a reported GAAP basis for JPMorgan Chase.
(f)(e) Operating results for Card Services exclude the impact of credit card securitizations on revenue, provision for credit losses and average assets, as JPMorgan Chase treats the sold receivables as if they were still on the balance sheet in evaluating the overall performance of the credit card portfolio. The related securitization adjustments for 2004, 2003 and 2002 were: $5.3 billion, $3.3 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively, in NII; $(2.4) billion, $(1.4) billion and $(1.4) billion, respectively, in Noninterest revenue; $2.9 billion, $1.9 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, in Provision for credit losses; and $51.1 billion, $32.4 billion and $26.5 billion, respectively, in Average assets. These adjustments are eliminated in Corporate/reconciling items to arrive at the Firm’s reported GAAP results. The related securitization adjustments were as follows:

corporate support areas, which include Central Technology and Operations, Audit, Executive Office, Finance, Human Resources, Marketing & Communications, Office of the General Counsel, Corporate Real Estate and General Services, Risk Management, and Strategy and Development. Beginning January 1, 2006, TSS will report results for two divisions: TS and WSS. WSS was formed by consolidating IS and ITS.
The following table provides a summary of the Firm’s segment results for 2005, 2004 and 2003 on an operating basis. The impact of credit card securitizations, Merger costs, nonoperating Litigation reserve charges and accounting policy conformity adjustments have been included in Corporate/reconciling items so that the total Firm results are on a reported basis. Finally, commencing with the first quarter of 2005, operating revenue (noninterest revenue and net interest
income) for each of the segments and the Firm is presented on a tax-equivalent basis. Accordingly, revenue from tax exempt securities and investments that receive tax credits are presented in the operating results on a basis comparable to taxable securities and investments. This approach allows management to assess the comparability of revenues arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to these items is recorded within income tax expense. The Corporate sector’s and the Firm’s operating revenue and income tax expense for the periods prior to the first quarter of 2005 have been restated to be presented similarly on a tax-equivalent basis. This restatement had no impact on the Corporate sector’s or the Firm’s operating earnings.

Net interest income $269  $6  $44 
Noninterest revenue  571   317   89

(g) Includes $858 million of accounting policy conformity adjustments consisting of approximately $1.4 billion related to the decertification of the seller’s retained interest in credit card securitizations, partially offset by a benefit of $584 million related to conforming wholesale and consumer provision methodologies for the combined Firm.
(h) Merger costs attributed to the lines of business for 2005 and 2004 were as follows: $74 million, Investment Bank; $201 million, Retail Financial Services; $79 million, Card Services; $23 million, Commercial Banking; $68 million, Treasury & Securities Services; $31 million, Asset & Wealth Management; and $889 million, Corporate.
126JPMorgan Chase & Co./2004 Annual Reportfollows (there were no merger costs in 2003):


Corporate is currently comprised of Private Equity (JPMorgan Partners and ONE Equity Partners), Treasury, as well as corporate support areas, which include Central Technology and Operations, Internal Audit, Executive Office, Finance, General Services, Human Resources, Marketing & Communications, Office of the General Counsel, Real Estate and Business Services, Risk Management and Strategy and Development.

Segment results, which are presented on an operating basis, reflect revenues on a tax-equivalent basis. The tax-equivalent gross-up for each business segment is based upon the level, type and tax jurisdiction of the earnings and assets within each business segment. Operating revenue for the Investment Bank includes tax-equivalent adjustments for income tax credits primarily related to affordable housing investments as well as tax-exempt

income from municipal bond investments. Information prior to the Merger has not been restated to conform with this new presentation. The amount of the tax-equivalent gross-up for each business segment is eliminated within the Corporate segment and was $(303) million, $(122) million and $(116) million for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The following table provides a summary of the Firm’s segment results for 2004, 2003 and 2002 on an operating basis. The impact of credit card securitizations, merger costs, litigation charges and accounting policy conformity adjustments have been included in Corporate/reconciling items so that the total Firm results are on a reported basis. Segment results for periods prior to July 1, 2004, reflect heritage JPMorgan Chase-only results and have been restated to reflect the current business segment organization and reporting classifications.

Forward-looking statements
From time to time, the Firm has made and will make forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipate,” “target,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “believe,” “anticipate” or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements provide JPMorgan Chase’s current expectations or forecasts of future events, circumstances, results or aspirations. JPMorgan Chase’s disclosures in this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Firm also may make forward-looking statements in its other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, the Firm’s senior management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others.
All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. JPMorgan Chase’s actual future results may differ materially from those set forth in its forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause this difference—many of which are beyond the Firm’s control—include the following: local, regional and international business, political or economic conditions; changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws; technological changes instituted by the Firm and by other entities which may affect
the Firm’s business; mergers and acquisitions, including the Firm’s ability to integrate acquisitions; ability of the Firm to develop new products and services; acceptance of new products and services and the ability of the Firm to increase market share; ability of the Firm to control expenses; competitive pressures; changes in laws and regulatory requirements; changes in applicable accounting policies; costs, outcomes and effects of litigation and regulatory investigations; changes in the credit quality of the Firm’s customers; and adequacy of the Firm’s risk management framework.
Additional factors that may cause future results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are discussed in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors in the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, to which reference is hereby made. There is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete.
Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Firm speak only as of the date they are made and JPMorgan Chase does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made. The reader should, however, consult any further disclosures of a forward-looking nature the Firm may make in any subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and its Current Reports on Form 8-K.

(a) Securities with no stated maturity are included with securities with a contractual maturity of 10 years or more. Substantially all of JPMorgan Chase’s mortgaged-backed securities (“MBSs”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) are due in 10 years or more based on contractual maturity. The estimated duration, which reflects anticipated future prepayments based on a consensus of dealers in the market, is approximately four years for MBSs and CMOs.
(b) The average yield iswas based on amortized cost balances at the end of the year.year, and does not give effect to changes in fair value that are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income. Yields are derived by dividing interest income (including the effect of related derivatives on available-for-sale securities and the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts) by total amortized cost. Taxable-equivalent yields are used where applicable.
(c) Includes obligations of state and political subdivisions, debt securities issued by non-U.S. governments, corporate debt securities, CMOs of private issuers and other debt and equity securities.
(d) For the amortized cost of the above categories of securities at December 31, 2003,2004, see Note 9 on page 98.103. At December 31, 2002,2003, the amortized cost of U.S. government and federal agenciesagency obligations and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise obligations was $45,690 million, and other available-for-sale securitiesavailable-for-securities was $66,289 million and $16,663 million, respectively.$14,732 million. At December 31, 2002,2003, the amortized cost of U.S. government and federal agenciesagency obligations and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise obligations held-to-maturity securities was $431$176 million.

Cross-border outstandings
Cross-border disclosure is based upon the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s (“FFIEC”) guidelines governing the determination of cross-border risk.
The following table lists all countries in which JPMorgan Chase’s cross-border outstandings exceed 0.75% of consolidated assets as of any of the dates
specified. The disclosure includes certain exposures that are not

required under the disclosure requirements of the SEC. The most significant differences between the FFIEC and SEC methodologies relate to the treatments of local country exposure and to foreign exchange and derivatives.
For a further discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s cross-border exposure based on management’s view of this exposure, see Country exposure on page 65.70.

(a) Heritage JPMorgan Chase only.
(b) Consists primarily of commercial and industrial.
(c) Exposure includes loans and accrued interest receivable, interest-bearing deposits with banks, acceptances, resale agreements, other monetary assets, cross-border trading debt and equity instruments, mark-to-market exposure of foreign exchange and derivative contracts and local country assets, net of local country liabilities. The amounts associated with foreign
exchange and derivative contracts are presented after taking into account the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements.
(d) Commitments include outstanding letters of credit, undrawn commitments to extend credit and credit derivatives.
JPMorgan Chase’s total cross-border exposure tends to fluctuate greatly, and the amount of exposure at year-end tends to be a function of timing rather than representing a consistent trend.
