The transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the approvals of Investors Financial shareholders and regulatory agencies, and we expect to close the acquisition in the third quarter of 2007. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. Additional information about this acquisition is included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in this Form 10-K under Item 7.GENERAL

GENERAL

We were organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1970 and we conduct our business primarily through our principal bankbanking subsidiary, State Street Bank, and Trust Company, which we refer to in this Form 10-K as “State Street Bank” or “the Bank.” State Street Bank traces its beginnings to the founding of the Union Bank in 1792. The charter under which State Street Bank now operatesBank's current charter was authorized by a special act of the Massachusetts Legislature in 1891, and its present name was adopted in 1960.

With $11.85$15.30 trillion of assets under custody and $1.75$1.98 trillion of assets under management at year-end 2006,2007, we are a leading specialist in meeting the needs of institutional investors worldwide. Our customers include mutual funds and other collective investment funds, corporate and public retirement plans, insurance companies, foundations, endowments and other investment pools, and investment managers.


Including the United States, we operate in 26 countries and more than 100 geographic markets worldwide.

        For a discussion of our business activities, refer to the “Lines"Lines of Business”Business" section that follows. For information about our management of capital, liquidity, market risk, including interest-rate risk, and other risks inherent in our businesses, refer to “Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included under Item 7, and Risk Factors, under Item 1A, of this Form 10-K. Financial information with respect to our non-U.S. activities is included in Notenote 23 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8 .8.


        In July 2007, we completed our acquisition of Investors Financial Services Corp., a bank holding company based in Boston, Massachusetts, with approximately $17 billion in total assets and approximately $1.9 trillion in assets under custody. We acquired Investors Financial in order to enhance our position as a worldwide service provider to institutional investors. Additional information about this acquisition is included in note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

LINES OF BUSINESS

We report two lines of business: Investment Servicing and Investment Management. These two lines of business provide services to support institutional investors, including custody, recordkeeping, daily pricing and administration, shareholder services, foreign exchange, brokerage and other trading services, securities finance, deposit and short-term investment facilities, loan and lease financing, investment manager and hedge fund manager operations outsourcing, performance, risk and compliance analytics, investment research and investment management, including passive and active U.S. and non-U.S. equity and fixed income strategies. For additional information about our lines of business, see the “Line"Line of Business Information”Information" section of Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis included under Item 7, and Notenote 22 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included under Item 8, of this Form 10-K.

COMPETITION

We operate in a highly competitive environment in all areas of our business worldwide. We face competition from other financial services institutions, deposit-taking institutions, investment management firms, insurance companies, mutual funds, broker/dealers, investment banking firms, benefits consultants, leasing companies, and business service and software companies. As we expand globally, we encounter additional sources of competition.

We believe that there are certain key competitive considerations in these markets. These considerations include, for investment servicing, quality of service, economies of scale, technological expertise, quality and scope of sales and marketing, and price; and for investment management, expertise, experience, the availability of related service offerings, and price.

Our competitive success will depend upon our ability to develop and market new and innovative services, to adopt or develop new technologies, to bring new services to market in a timely fashion at competitive prices, to continue and expand our relationships with existing customers and to attract new customers.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

We are registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or “Federalwhich we refer to as the Federal Reserve Board, as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or “the Act.”amended. The Bank Holding Company Act, with certain exceptions, limits the activities in which we and our non-bank subsidiaries may engage, including non-bank companies for which we own or control more than 5% of a class of voting shares, to those that the Federal Reserve Board considers to be closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks. These limits also apply to non-bank companies of which we own or control more than 5% of a class of voting shares. The Federal Reserve Board may order a bank holding company to terminate any activity or its ownership or control of a non-bank subsidiary if the Federal Reserve Board finds that such activity, ownership or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of a bank subsidiary or is inconsistent with sound banking principles or statutory purposes. In the opinion of management, all of our present subsidiaries operate within the statutory standard or are otherwise permissible. The Bank Holding Company Act also requires a bank holding company to obtain prior approval of the Federal



Reserve Board before it may acquire substantially all the assets of any bank or ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank.

The parent company elected to becomeoperates as a financial holding company, which reduces to some extent the Federal Reserve Board's restrictions on our activities. A financial holding company and the companies under its control are permitted to engage in activities considered “financial"financial in nature”nature" as defined by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Federal Reserve Board interpretations, and therefore may engage in a broader range of activities than permitted for bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Financial holding companies may engage directly or indirectly in activities considered financial in nature, eitherde novo or by acquisition, provided the financial holding company gives the Federal Reserve Board after-the-fact notice of the new activities. Activities defined to be financial in nature include, but are not limited to, the following: providing financial or investment advice; underwriting; dealing in or making markets in securities; merchant banking, subject to significant limitations; and any activities previously found by the Federal Reserve Board to be closely related to banking. In order to maintain status as a financial holding company, each of a bank holding company’scompany's depository subsidiaries must be well capitalized and well managed, as judged by regulators, and must comply with Community Reinvestment Act obligations. Failure to maintain such standards may ultimately permit the Federal Reserve Board to take certain enforcement actions against such company.

Many aspects of our business are subject to regulation by other U.S. federal and state governmental and regulatory agencies and self-regulatory organizations (including securities exchanges), and by non-U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies and self-regulatory organizations. Aspects of our public disclosure, corporate governance principles and internal control systems are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations and rules of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange.

Capital Adequacy

Like other bank holding companies, we are subject to Federal Reserve Board minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratio guidelines. As noted above, our status as a financial holding company also requires that we maintain certain capital ratio levels. State Street Bank is subject to similar risk-based capital and leverage ratio guidelines. As of December 31, 2006,2007, our capital levels on a consolidated basis, and the capital levels of theState Street Bank, exceeded the applicable minimum capital requirements.requirements and the requirements to qualify as a financial holding company. Failure to meet capital requirements could subject us to a variety of enforcement actions, including the termination of deposit insurance of theState Street Bank by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or “FDIC,” and to certain restrictions on our business that are described further in this “Supervision"Supervision and Regulation”Regulation" section.

For additional information about our capital position and capital adequacy, refer to the “Capital”"Capital" section of Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis included under Item 7, and Notenote 14 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included under Item 8, of this Form 10-K.

Subsidiaries

The Federal Reserve Board is the primary federal banking agency responsible for regulating us and our subsidiaries, including State Street Bank, for both our U.S. and non-U.S. operations.

Our bank subsidiaries are subject to supervision and examination by various regulatory authorities. State Street Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC and is subject to applicable federal and state banking laws and to supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, as well as by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, the FDIC, and the regulatory authorities of those countries in which a branch of theState Street Bank is located. Other subsidiary trust companies are subject to supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, other offices of the Federal Reserve System or by the appropriate state banking regulatory authorities of the states in which they are located. Our non-U.S. bank subsidiaries are subject to



regulation by the regulatory authorities of the


countries in which they are located. As of December 31, 2006,2007, the capital of each of these banking subsidiaries exceededwas in excess of the minimum legal capital requirements as set by those authorities.

The parent company and its non-bank subsidiaries are affiliates of State Street Bank under federal banking laws, which impose certain restrictions on transfers of funds in the form of loans, extensions of credit, investments or asset purchases from theState Street Bank to the parent and its non-bank subsidiaries. Transfers of this kind to affiliates by State Street Bank are limited with respect to each affiliate to 10% of the Bank’sState Street Bank's capital and surplus, as defined, and to 20% in the aggregate for all affiliates, and are subject to certain collateral requirements. As a bank holding company, the parent company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or lease or sale of property or furnishing of services. Federal law also provides that certain transactions with affiliates must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions involving other non-affiliated companies or, in the absence of comparable transactions, on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that in good faith would be offered to, or would apply to, non-affiliated companies. The Federal Reserve Board has jurisdiction to regulate the terms of certain debt issues of bank holding companies. Federal law provides as well for a depositor preference on amounts realized from the liquidation or other resolution of any depository institution insured by the FDIC.

We are subject to the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, which contains anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and requires implementation of regulations applicable to financial services companies, including standards for verifying client identification and monitoring client transactions and detecting and reporting suspicious activities. Anti-money laundering laws outside the U.S. contain similar requirements.

Our investment management subsidiarydivision, State Street Global Advisors, or "SSgA," which acts as an investment advisor to investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. However, a major portion of our investment management activities are conducted by State Street Bank, which is subject to supervision primarily by the Federal Reserve Board and the SEC with respect to these activities. Our U.S. broker/dealer subsidiary is registered as a broker/dealer with the SEC, is subject to regulation by the SEC (including the SEC’sSEC's net capital rule) and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers,Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a self-regulatory organization. Many aspects of our investment management activities are subject to federal and state laws and regulations primarily intended to benefit the investment holder. These laws and regulations generally grant supervisory agencies and bodies broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict us from carrying on our investment management activities in the event that we fail to comply with such laws and regulations, and examination authority. Our business relating to investment management and trusteeship of collective trust funds and separate accounts offered to employee benefit plans is subject to ERISA and is regulated by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Our businesses, including our investment management and securities and futures businesses, are also regulated extensively by non-U.S. governments, securities exchanges, self-regulatory organizations, central banks and regulatory bodies, especially in those jurisdictions in which we maintain an office. For instance, the Financial Services Authority, the London Stock Exchange, and the Euronext.liffe regulate activities in the United Kingdom; the Deutsche Borse AG and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority regulate activities in Germany; and the Financial Services Agency, the Bank of Japan, the Japanese Securities Dealers Association and several Japanese securities and futures exchanges, including the Tokyo Stock Exchange, regulate activities in Japan. We have established policies, procedures, and systems designed to comply with these requirements. However, as a global financial services institution, we face complexity and costs in our worldwide compliance efforts.

Most of our non-U.S. operations are conducted pursuant to Federal Reserve Board Regulation K through State Street Bank’sBank's Edge Act corporation subsidiary or through international branches of theState Street Bank. An Edge Act corporation is a corporation organized under federal law that in general, conducts foreign business activities. WithIn general, banks may not invest more than 20% of their capital and surplus in their Edge Act corporations (and similar state law corporations), and the investment of any amount in excess of 10% of capital and surplus requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board



(which approval is generally valid for a 12-month period). State Street Bank mayperiodically applies to the Federal Reserve Board to invest up to 20%in excess of 10% of its capital and surplus in its Edge Act corporation, and Agreement corporation subsidiaries. An Agreement


corporation subsidiary is a subsidiary organized under state law that operates as if it was organized under federal law and is subject to Regulation K. Agreement corporation subsidiaries are generally restricted to foreign banking operations. TheState Street Bank currently has applied to renew its approval to investcontinue investing a dollar amount up to the equivalent of 18% of its capital and surplus, which is less than the maximum 20% permitted by law.surplus.

Historically,        In addition to non-U.S. operations conducted pursuant to Regulation K, we generally have invested abroad through our Edge Act corporation subsidiaries. However, under Federal Reserve Board Regulation Y, we may continue to make new investments abroad directly (through the parent company or through direct, non-bank subsidiaries of the parent company) pursuant to Federal Reserve Board Regulation Y, or through international bank branch expansion, without beingwhich are not subject to the 20% investment limitation for Edge Act corporation subsidiaries. We cannot predict with certainty what the future impact of the Edge Act corporation subsidiaryRegulation K investment limitation on the pace of our future international expansion. Nonetheless,may be, but in light of available alternatives, we do not believe that the Edge Act corporation subsidiary investment limitation will materially limit our ability to expand internationally.

        We are subject to the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, which contains anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and requires implementation of regulations applicable to financial services companies, including standards for verifying client identification and monitoring client transactions and detecting and reporting suspicious activities. Anti-money laundering laws outside the U.S. contain similar requirements.

We are also subject to the Massachusetts bank holding company statute. The Massachusetts statute requires prior approval by the Massachusetts Board of Bank Incorporation for our acquisition of more than 5% of the voting shares of any additional bank and for other forms of bank acquisitions.

Support of Subsidiary Banks

Under Federal Reserve Board guidelines, a bank holding company is required to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to its bank subsidiaries. Under these guidelines, the parent company is expected to commit resources to theState Street Bank and any other bank subsidiary in circumstances wherein which it might not do so absent such guidelines. In the event of our bankruptcy, any commitment by the parent company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a bank subsidiary will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and will be entitled to a priority payment.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND GOVERNMENT POLICIES

Economic policies of the U.S. government and its agencies influence our operating environment. Monetary policy conducted by the Federal Reserve Board directly affects the level of interest rates, which may impact overall credit conditions of the economy. PolicyMonetary policy is applied by the Federal Reserve Board through open market operations in U.S. government securities, changes in reserve requirements for depository institutions, and changes in the discount rate and availability of borrowing from the Federal Reserve. Government regulation of banks and bank holding companies is intended primarily for the protection of depositors of the banks, rather than for the shareholders of the institutions. We are also impacted by the economic policies of non-U.S. government agencies, such as the European Central Bank.

Factors such as interest rates and commodities prices, regional and international rates of economic growth, inflation, political instability, the liquidity and volatility of fixed-income, equity, credit, currency, derivative and other financial markets, and investor confidence can significantly affect the financial markets in which we and our customers are engaged. Such factors have affected, and may further unfavorably affect, both regional and worldwide economic growth, creating adverse effects on many companies, including us, in ways that are not predictable.predictable or that we may fail to anticipate.

A significant market downturn may lead to a decline in the value of assets under management and custody, which would reduce our asset-based fee revenue and the value of securities we hold in our investment portfolio, and may adversely impact transactionother transaction-based revenue, such as securities finance revenue, and the volume of transactions that we execute for our customers. The assets held by our asset-backed commercial paper conduits can be similarly affected. In addition, lower market volatility, even in a generally rising market environment, may reduce trading volumes of our customers, and our ability to achieve attractive spreads, which could lead to lower trading revenues. Our revenues, particularly our trading revenues, may increase or decrease depending upon the extent of increases or decreases in cross-border investments made by our customers. The level of cross-border activity can be influenced by a number of factors, including geopolitical instabilities and customer mix. General market downturns would also likely lead to a decline in the volume of transactions we execute on behalf of our customers, decreasing our fee and revenue opportunities and reducing the level of assets under management and custody. Market performance and volatility may also influence the revenue that we receive from off-balance sheet activities. A widening of credit spreads or credit deterioration could cause some or all off-balance sheet assets and liabilities to be consolidated onto our balance sheet.

In addition, revenues during a calendar year, driven by the products and services we provide, can fluctuate commensurate with the normal course of business activity of our customers, typically resulting in stronger revenues in the second and fourth quarters and relatively weaker revenues in the first and third quarters.

In recent years, investment manager and hedge fund manager operations outsourcing and non-U.S. asset servicing have been areas of rapid growth in our business. If the demand for these types of services were to decline, we could see a slowing in the growth rate of our revenue.

Strategic/Competition Risk

We expect the markets in which we operate to remain both highly competitive and global across all facets of our business, resulting in increases in both regional and global competitive risks. We have experienced, and anticipate that we will continue to experience, pricing pressure in many of our core businesses. Many of our businesses compete with other domestic and international banks and financial



services companies, such as custody banks, investment advisors, broker/dealers, outsourcing companies and data processing companies. Many of our competitors, including our competitors in core services, have substantially greater capital resources. In some of our businesses, we are service providers to significant competitors. These competitors are in some instances significant customers, and the retention of these customers involves additional risks, such as the avoidance of actual or perceived conflicts of interest and the maintenance of high levels of service quality. The ability of a competitor to offer comparable or improved products or services at a lower price would likely negatively affect our ability to maintain or increase our profitability. Many of our core services are subject to contracts that have relatively short terms or may be terminated by our customer after a short-notice period. In addition, pricing pressures as a result of the activities of competitors, customer pricing reviews, and rebids, as well as the introduction of new products, may result in a reduction in the prices we can charge for our products and services.

Acquisitions of complementary businesses and technologies, development of strategic alliances and divestitures of portions of our business, in addition to fostering organic growth opportunities, are an active part of our overall business strategy to remain competitive. We may not be able to effectively assimilate


services, technologies, key personnel or businesses of acquired companies into our business or service offerings, alliances may not be successful, and related revenue growth or cost savings may not be achieved. In addition, we may not be able to successfully manage the divestiture of identified businesses on satisfactory terms, if at all, whichand this would reduce anticipated benefits to earnings. Ongoing consolidation within the financial services industry could provide opportunities and pose challenges in the markets we serve.

Acquisitions present risks that differ from the risks associated with our ongoing operations. In January 2007, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire Currenex, Inc., an independently owned electronic foreign exchange trading platform. In addition, in February 2007, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire Investors Financial. Our financial results for 20072008 and for the next few years may be significantly impacted by our ability to achieve the cost savings and other benefits that we anticipate as a result of the acquisition of Investors Financial in 2007, as well as our ability to retain its customer base and to successfully cross-sell our products and services to its customers. These cost savings and customer retention goals will be significantly influenced by our ability to convert former Investor Financial customers onto State Street systems in a timely manner and to maintain the level of customer service such customers received from Investors Financial. Future acquisitions may present similar integration, cost savings and customer retention challenges.

Intellectual property of an acquired business, such as Currenex, Inc. in 2007, may be an important component of the value that we agree to pay for such a business; however, these types of acquisitions entail the risk that the acquired business does not own the intellectual property that we believe we are acquiring, that the intellectual property is dependent upon licenses from third parties, or that the acquired business infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others.others, or that the technology does not have the acceptance in the marketplace that we anticipated. Acquisitions of investment servicing businesses such as Investors Financial normally entail information technology systems conversions, which involve operational risks and may result in customer dissatisfaction and defection. Customers of businesses that we acquire, including, in the case of Investors Financial, its largest customer, are competitors of our non-custody businesses. The loss of some of these customers or a significant reduction in revenues generated from them, for competitive or other reasons, would adversely affect the benefits that we expect to achieve from the acquisition.

        Our ability to acquire other entities that provide our core services to achieve greater economies of scale or to expand our product offering is dependent upon our financial resources and ability to access the capital markets. Due to company-specific issues or lack of liquidity in the capital markets, our ability to continue to expand through acquisitions or to dispose of businesses that no longer are strategic to us may be adversely affected.


In connection with most acquisitions, before the acquisition can be completed, we must obtain various regulatory approvals or consents, which approvals may include the Federal Reserve Board, the Massachusetts Commissioner of BankingBanks and other domestic and foreign regulatory authorities. These regulatory authorities may impose conditions on the completion of the acquisition or require changes to its terms. Although we would not enter into a transaction anticipating materially adverse regulatory conditions, such conditions may be imposed, or we may experience regulatory delays, that could limit the benefits of the transaction.

With any acquisition, the integration of the operations and resources of the two businesses could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of our and the acquired company’scompany's ongoing businesses, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Integration efforts may also divert management attention and resources. Where we acquire a business and combine it with our operations, we are also exposed to risks offrom unknown or contingent liabilities aswith respect to which we may have no recourse against the seller. While we normally seek to mitigate that risk through pre-acquisition due diligence, increasingly acquisition transactions are competitive auctions in which we have limited time and access to information to evaluate the risks inherent in the business being acquired, and no or limited recourse against the seller if undisclosed liabilities are discovered after we enter into a definitive agreement.

Our financial results may be adversely affected by the accounting treatment for an acquisition.        We may not achieve the benefits we sought in an acquisition, or, if achieved, those benefits may come later than we anticipated. Failure to achieve anticipated benefits from an acquisition such as our acquisitions of Investors Financial and Currenex, could result in increased costs and lower revenues than expected of the combined company.


We actively strive to achieve significant cost savings by shifting certain business processes to lower-cost geographic locations, while continuing to maintain service quality, control and effective management of risks within these business operations. This transition to a true “shared services” operational model focuses on certain core service offerings, including middle- and back-office reconciliations, securities processing and transfer agency activities. The increased elements of risk that arise from conducting certain operating processes in some jurisdictions could lead to an increase in reputation risk. Reputation risk is inherent in our current operating model; shifting business processes merely accentuates these risks through the transition process, until such time as technology, training and infrastructure changes are in place to mitigate the risk. The extent and pace at which we are able to move functions to lower-cost locations may also be impacted by regulatory and customer acceptance issues. Such relocation of functions also entails costs, such as technology and real estate expenses, that partially offset In addition, if the financial benefitsperformance associated with an acquisition falls short of expectations, it may result in impairment charges associated with the intangible assets reported as part of the lower-cost locations.acquisition.

Our financial performance depends, in part, on our ability to develop and market new and innovative services and to adopt or develop new technologies that differentiate our products or provide cost efficiencies, while avoiding increased related expenses. The risks we face include rapid technological change in the industry, our ability to access technical and other information from our customers, and the significant and ongoing investments required to bring new products and services to market in a timely fashion at competitive prices. We proactively cross-sellOur proactive cross selling of multiple products and services to our customers which can exacerbate the negative financial effects associated with the risk of loss of any one customer. Developments in the securities processing industry, including shortened settlement cycles and straight-through processing, have required continued internal procedural enhancements and further technology investment.

Our strategy for growth strategy depends upon both attracting new customers and cross-sellingcross selling additional products and services to our existing customer base. To the extent that we are not able to achieve these goals, we may not be able to achieveattain our financial goals. There are substantialSubstantial risks and uncertainties are associated with the introduction of new products and services, including technical and control requirements that may need to be developed and implemented to offer such products while also managing associated risks. The introduction of new products and services can also entail significant time and resources. Regulatory and internal control requirements, capital requirements, competitive alternatives and shifting market preferences may also determine if such initiatives can be brought to market in a manner that is timely and attractive to our customers. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new products or services could have a material adverse effect on our business, as well as our results of operations and financial condition.

Liquidity Risk and Management

        Liquidity management is critical to the management of our consolidated balance sheet and to our ability to service our customer base. In managing our consolidated balance sheet, our primary source of



funding is customer deposits. Our deposits are predominantly short-term, transaction-based deposits by institutional investors. Our ability to continue to attract these deposits, and other funding sources such as certificates of deposit and commercial paper, is subject to variability based upon a number of factors, including volume and volatility in the global securities markets, our credit rating and the relative interest rates that we are prepared to pay for these liabilities.

        In managing our consolidated balance sheet, we also depend on access to global capital markets to provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs, and to accommodate the transaction and cash management needs of our customers. Other sources of funding available to us, and upon which we rely as regular components of our liquidity risk management strategy, include inter-bank borrowings, repurchase agreements and borrowings from the Federal Reserve discount window, or comparable non-U.S. central banking sources. Any occurrence that may limit our access to the capital markets, such as a decline in the confidence of our corporate debt or equity purchasers, or a downgrade of our debt rating, may adversely affect our capital costs and our ability to raise capital and, in turn, our liquidity. Similarly, the failure to maintain an acceptable credit rating on our obligations may preclude us from being competitive in certain products. General market disruptions, natural disasters or operational problems may affect either third parties or us, and can also have an adverse affect on our liquidity.

        We generally use our sources of funds to invest in a portfolio of investment securities and to maintain the liquidity necessary to extend credit to our customers. These funds are invested in a variety of assets ranging from short-term interest-bearing deposits with banks to longer-maturity investment securities. While we have historically maintained our investment portfolio at a relatively short duration with respect to interest-rate risk, the average maturity of the investment portfolio is significantly longer than the contractual maturity of our deposit base. In addition, as part of our custody business, we provide overdraft financing to our customers, and liquidity lines to third-party commercial paper conduits and mutual funds, as well as more traditional extensions of credit. The demand for credit is difficult to forecast and control, and may be at its peak at times of dislocation in the securities markets, potentially compounding liquidity issues.

        In a period of financial disruption, or if negative developments occurred with respect to State Street, the availability and cost of our funding sources could be adversely affected. In that event, our cost of funds may increase, thereby reducing our net interest revenue, or we may need to dispose of a portion of our investment portfolio, which, depending upon market conditions, could result in our realizing a loss or experiencing other adverse accounting consequences upon those dispositions. Our efforts to monitor and manage liquidity risk may not be successful or sufficient to deal with dramatic or unanticipated changes in the global securities markets or other State Street or market event-driven reductions in liquidity.

        In our business activities, we assume liquidity and interest-rate risk in managing longer-term assets or asset pools for third parties that are funded on a short-term basis, or where the customers participating in these products may have a right to the return of cash or assets on limited notice. These business activities include, among others, the unconsolidated asset-backed commercial paper conduits managed by our Structured Products group, securities finance collateral pools and money market and other short-term investment funds. In the commercial paper conduits, for example, pools of medium- and long-term financial instruments, principally mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, are financed through the issuance of short-term commercial paper. The conduits strive to maintain a positive margin between the rate of return on their longer-term assets and the short-term cost of funding. This mismatch in the maturity of the investment pools and funding creates risk if disruptions occur in the liquidity of the short-term debt or asset-backed securities markets, or if the cost of short-term borrowings exceeds the conduits' rate of return on their investment pools or purchased assets.


        In connection with the administration of the activities of the commercial paper conduits, we provide contractual back-up liquidity to the conduits if they cannot meet their liquidity needs through the issuance of commercial paper. Other institutions can and do provide liquidity to the conduits. In the event that maturing commercial paper cannot be placed by the conduits, the liquidity providers are required by contract to, among other things, provide liquidity to the conduits by purchasing portfolio assets from them. We may also provide liquidity by purchasing commercial paper or providing other extensions of credit to the conduits.

        Beginning in the third quarter of 2007, asset-backed commercial paper conduits, including those sponsored by State Street, experienced significantly less liquidity and higher borrowing costs in the global fixed-income securities markets, and in a few cases, required liquidity support from their sponsoring bank. The fixed-income markets remain significantly disrupted, and the potential for decreased liquidity, increased funding costs and adverse asset valuations remains a material risk. We on occasion have purchased, and during the third and fourth quarters of 2007 did purchase, commercial paper from the conduits, the purchase of which we recorded in our consolidated balance sheet. We may continue to do so in the future. These purchases of commercial paper were funded from our general liquidity, and the liquidity agreements were not drawn.

        The conduits are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements. However, if circumstances change we may be required, under existing accounting standards, to consolidate the conduits onto our consolidated balance sheet. For example, if changes in market conditions require us to update the assumptions in our expected loss model, we may be required to increase the amount of first-loss notes in order for the investors in the first-loss notes to continue to be considered the primary beneficiaries of the conduits. In various circumstances, including if the conduits are not able to issue additional first-loss notes or take other actions, we may be determined to be the primary beneficiary of the conduits, and we would be required to consolidate the conduits' assets and liabilities onto our consolidated balance sheet. Existing accounting standards may be changed or interpreted differently in the future in a manner that increases the risk of consolidation of the conduits.

        Consolidation, or the purchase of assets of the conduits pursuant to the contractual agreements described above, could affect the size of our consolidated balance sheet and related funding requirements, our financial and regulatory capital ratios and, if the conduit assets include unrealized losses, could require us to recognize those losses. Because of our contractual agreements to purchase assets from the conduits under specified conditions, we are also exposed to the credit risks in the conduits' portfolios.

        Other of our business activities that involve managing pools of assets that are funded in the short-term markets and invested in longer-term markets include managing securities finance collateral pools and money market and other short-term investment funds. These businesses involve similar risks inherent in an arbitrage of funding and investment; however, in these businesses, we primarily act as agent and do not have the direct principal risk. For example, if a collateral pool or a money market fund that we manage were to have unexpected liquidity demands from investors in the pool that exceeded available liquidity, the investment pool would be required to sell assets to meet those redemption requirements. During periods of disruption in the credit markets, it may be difficult to sell the assets held by these pools at a reasonable price. In those circumstances, the financial loss accrues to the pools' investors and not to us.

        Similarly, credit risks inherent in these portfolios are attributable to the investors in the investment pools and not to State Street. These investment pools may have significant exposure to individual credits. The incurrence of substantive losses in these pools, particularly in money market funds, could result in significant harm to our reputation and significantly and adversely affect the prospects of our associated business units. In some circumstances, we may seek to mitigate that risk by compensating the investment pools for all or a portion of such losses even if not contractually obligated to do so;



however, that would potentially result in the recognition of significant losses or a greater use of capital than we have available. Certain accounts managed by SSgA are managed in accordance with specific investment guidelines and have the benefit of contractual arrangements with third-party financial institutions that allow the accounts to issue and redeem units based upon the book value of such units rather than market value. The third-party financial institutions have an obligation to fund any shortfall after all the units have been redeemed at book value. Several of these accounts were significantly impacted by the volatility in the fixed-income markets in the second half of 2007. The continued willingness of these financial institutions to partner with us in these products may be negatively impacted if the variance between book and market value and other risk metrics fall or remain below the financial institutions' internal risk standards.

        We used a portion of the reserve announced on January 3, 2008 to reduce the differences between the book and market value of these accounts. This cash infusion was intended to reduce the difference between market and book values of these accounts to levels that are within the risk tolerance of such third-party financial institutions. If the third-party financial institutions are or become unwilling to continue to partner with us, our business may be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that these and other costs associated with our legal exposures resulting from SSgA's active fixed income strategies will not exceed the reserve we have established.

        Investment, operational and other decisions and actions, often made to achieve scale and other benefits, are implemented over multiple investment pools as applicable, increasing the opportunity for losses, even small losses, to have a significant effect. To mitigate these risks to the investment pools, we seek to prudently manage the duration and credit exposure of the pools, to satisfy large liquidity demands by the in-kind delivery of securities held by the pools and to closely monitor liquidity demand from investors; however, market conditions or increased defaults could result in our inability to effectively manage those risks. To some degree, all of our investment management pools hold potential risks to our reputation and business prospects if the asset pools that we manage have higher than anticipated redemption or other liquidity requirements and the pools incur losses to meet such demands.

        Other parts of our business where we primarily act as agent, such as other investment management activities of SSgA and certain of State Street Global Markets' business units, do not currently have significant liquidity requirements; however, as we develop new products in response to customer demand and to remain competitive in a dynamic marketplace, we could take on more principal risk in these businesses. Any increase in the extent to which these or other businesses assume principal positions would increase the risks associated with our liquidity management strategy.

        The disruption in the global fixed-income securities markets beginning in the third quarter of 2007 has had a substantially greater impact upon liquidity and valuations in those markets than has historically been experienced. Because demand from investors for fixed-income products has markedly decreased and dealers have been less prepared to take principal exposures, funding sources, such as the commercial paper markets for conduits, have been less reliable and more expensive. At the same time, the ability of the markets to absorb the sale of large portfolios of certain types of securities has been substantially impaired. These conditions have also led to greater difficulty in accurately valuing portfolio positions. These market conditions have made the management of our own and our clients' liquidity significantly more challenging. As discussed above, the risks to State Street inherent in its management of liquidity are significant, and a further deterioration in the credit markets could adversely affect our consolidated financial position, including our regulatory capital ratios, and could adversely affect our results of operations and our business prospects in the future.


Reputational Risk

        Our relationship with many of our customers is predicated upon our reputation as a fiduciary and a service provider that adheres to the highest standards of ethics, service quality and regulatory compliance. Adverse publicity, regulatory actions, litigation, operational failures, the failure to meet client expectations and other issues could materially and adversely affect our reputation and our ability to retain and attract customers. Preserving and enhancing our reputation depends not only in maintaining systems and procedures that address known risks and regulatory requirements, but also our ability to identify and mitigate additional risks that arise due to changes in our businesses and the marketplaces in which we operate, the regulatory environment, and customer expectations. If any of these developments, including our recently announced customer concerns related to certain SSgA active fixed income strategies, has a material effect on our reputation, our business will suffer.

Credit Risk

Our focus on large institutional investors and their businesses requires that we assume credit and counterparty risk, both on- and off-balance sheet, in a variety of forms. We may experience significant intra- and inter-day credit exposure through settlement-related extensions of credit. From time to time, we may assume concentrated credit risk at the individual obligor, counterparty, guarantor, industry and/or country level, thereby potentially exposing us to a single market or political event or a correlated set of events. The credit quality of our on- and off-balance sheet exposures may be affected by many factors, such as economic and business conditions or deterioration in the financial condition of an individual counterparty, or group of counterparties.counterparties or asset classes. If there is a significant economic downturn occurs in either a country or a region, or we experience the failure of a significant individual counterparty, we could incur financial losses that could adversely affect our earnings.


Financial Markets Risk

As asset values in worldwide financial markets increase or decrease, our opportunities to invest in and service financial assets change. Given that a portion of our fees is based on the value of assets under custody and management, fluctuations in the valuation of worldwide securities markets will affect revenue. Many of the costs of providing our services are relatively fixed; therefore, a decline in revenue could have a disproportionate effect on our earnings. In addition, if investment performance in our asset management business fails to meet either benchmarks or the performance of our competitors, we could experience a decline in assets under management and a reduction in the fees that we earn, irrespective of economic or market conditions.

We have increased the portion of our management fee revenue that is generated from enhanced index and actively managed products, with respect to which we generally receive higher fees compared to passive products. We may not be able to continue to increase this segment of our business at the same rate that we have achieved in the past few years. The amount of assets in active fixed-income strategies, for example, has been adversely impacted in 2007. In addition, with respect to certain of theseour enhanced index and actively managed products, we have entered into performance fee arrangements, where the management fee revenue we earn is based on the performance of managed funds against specified benchmarks. The reliance on performance fees increases the potential volatility of our management fee revenue.

        Financial markets trading businesses, as well as our asset and liability management activities, are also subject to market risks. Adverse movements in levels and volatilities of financial markets could cause losses that may affect our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. In addition, changes in investor and rating agency perceptions regarding certain asset classes or structures can also affect volatility, liquidity and market prices, which, in turn, can lead to losses. The degree of volatility in foreign exchange rates can affect our foreign exchange trading revenue. In general, we benefit from



currency volatility, although it can increase risk, and foreignrisk. Foreign exchange revenue, all other things being equal, is likely to decrease during times of decreased currency volatility. In addition, as our business grows globally, our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates could affect our levels of revenue, expense and earnings, as well as the value of our investment in our non-U.S. operations. Our other financial markets trading businesses, as well as our asset and liability management activities, are also subject to market risks. Adverse movements in levels and volatilities of financial markets could cause losses that may affect our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Liquidity Risk

We depend on access to global capital markets to provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs, and to accommodate the transaction and cash management needs of our customers. Any occurrence that may limit our access to the capital markets, such as a decline in the confidence of debt purchasers, depositors or counterparties participating in the capital markets with us in particular, or a downgrade of our debt rating, may adversely affect our capital costs and our ability to raise capital and, in turn, our liquidity. General market disruptions, natural disasters or operational problems may affect either third parties or us, and can also have an adverse affect on our liquidity.

Interest Rate Risk

State Street’sStreet's financial performance could be unfavorably affected by changes in interest rates as they impact our asset and liability management process. The levels of global market interest rates, the shape of these yield curves (changes in the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates), the direction and speed of interest rate changes, and the asset and liability spreads relative to the currency and geographic mix of our interest-bearinginterest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, affect our net interest revenue. Our ability to anticipate these changes and/or to hedge the related exposures on and off our balance sheet can significantly influence the success of our asset and liability management process and the resulting level of our net interest revenue. The impact of changes in interest rates will depend on the relative durations of assets and liabilities in accordance with their relevant currencies. In general, sustained lower interest rates, a flat or inverted yield curve and narrow interest-rate spreads have a constraining effect on our net interest revenue.


Operational Risk

Operational risk is inherent in all of State Street’sStreet's activities. Our customers have a broad array of complex and specialized servicing, confidentiality and fiduciary requirements. We have established policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulatory and operational risk requirements. We also face the potential for loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, employee supervisory or monitoring mechanisms, or other systems or controls, and from external events, which could materially affect our future results of operations. We may also be subject to disruptions from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, which could cause delays or disruptions to operational functions, including functions such as information processing and financial market settlement.settlement functions. In addition, our customers, vendors and counterparties could suffer from such events. Should these events affect us, or the customers, vendors or counterparties with which we conduct business, our results of operations could be negatively affected. We use various strategies and processes to monitor and mitigate operational and other risks. These risk management measures entail many assumptions regarding events that are not possible to predict. As a result, our risk management framework may not always be successful.

Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain key people. Competition for the best people in most activities in which we engage can be intense, and we may not be able to hire people or retain them. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse impact on our business because of their skills, their knowledge of our markets, their years of industry experience, and, in some cases, and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel. Similarly, the loss of key portfolio management staff, either individually or as a group, can adversely impact customer perception of SSgA's ability to continue to manage certain types of investment management mandates. In some of our businesses, we have experienced significant employee turnover, which increases costs, requires additional training and increases the potential for operational risks.

We enter into long-term fixed pricefixed-price contracts to provide middle office or investment manager and hedge fund manager operations outsourcing services to customers, services related but not limited to certain trading activities, cash reporting, settlement and reconciliation activities, collateral management and information technology development. These long-term contracts require considerable up-front investment by us, including technology and conversion costs, and carry the risk that pricing for the products and services we provide might not prove adequate to generate expected operating margins over the term of the contracts. Profitability of these contracts is largely a function of our ability to accurately calculate pricing for our services and our ability to control our costs and maintain the relationship with the customer for an adequate period of time to recover our up-front investment.



Performance risk exists in each contract, given our dependence on successful conversion and implementation onto our own operating platforms of the service activities provided. In addition, our failure to meet specified service levels may adversely affect our revenue from such arrangements, or permit early termination of the contracts by the customer.

        We actively strive to achieve significant cost savings by shifting certain business processes to lower-cost geographic locations, while continuing to maintain service quality, control and effective management of risks within these business operations. This transition to a true "shared services" operational model focuses on certain core service offerings, including middle- and back-office reconciliations, securities processing and transfer agency activities. We have employed various structural arrangements to achieve these goals, including establishing operations in lower cost areas, such as Eastern Europe, India and China, forming joint ventures in India and China and outsourcing to vendors in various jurisdictions. The increased elements of risk that arise from conducting certain operating processes in some jurisdictions could lead to an increase in reputational risk. During periods of transition, greater operational risk and client concern exists regarding the continuity of a high level of service delivery. The extent and pace at which we are able to move functions to lower-cost locations may also be impacted by regulatory and customer acceptance issues. Such relocation of functions also entails costs, such as technology and real estate expenses, that partially offset the financial benefits of the lower-cost locations.

Our businesses depend on an information technology infrastructure to record and process a large volume of increasingly complex transactions, in many currencies, on a daily basis, across numerous and diverse markets. Any interruptions, delays and/or breakdowns of this infrastructure can result in significant costs. As a result, we continue to invest significantly in this infrastructure. Our businesses and our relationship with customers, are dependent upon our ability to maintain the confidentiality of our and our customers' trade secrets and confidential information (including personal data of their customers). A failure of our security measures in such regard could have a material adverse impact on our competitive position, relationship with customers and reputation. To the extent that we are not able to protect our intellectual property through patents or other means, we are also exposed to the risk that employees with knowledge of such intellectual property may leave and seek to exploit our intellectual property for their own advantage.

Litigation Risks

        From time to time, our customers may make claims and take legal action relating to our performance of fiduciary or contractual responsibilities. If such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to us, such claims may result in financial liability to State Street and/or adversely affect the market perception of us and our products and services, and could impact customer demand for our products and services. We record balance sheet reserves for probable loss contingencies, including litigation and operational losses. However, we cannot always accurately estimate our ultimate exposure. As a result, any reserves we establish to cover any settlements, judgments or operational losses may not be sufficient to cover our actual financial exposure. Any underestimation or overestimation could have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        In connection with certain of SSgA's active fixed-income strategies, we established a reserve to cover legal exposure and related costs in connection with such strategies as of December 31, 2007. Among other things, the portfolio managers for certain actively managed fixed-income strategies materially increased the exposure of these strategies to securities backed by sub-prime mortgages and shifted the weighting of these portfolios to more highly rated sub-prime instruments. During the third quarter of 2007, as the liquidity and valuations of these securities, including the more highly rated instruments, came under increased pressure, the performance of these strategies was adversely affected, in some cases significantly. The underperformance, which was greater than that typically associated with



fixed-income funds, also caused a number of our customers to question whether the execution of these strategies was consistent with their investment intent. This has resulted in several civil suits, including putative class action claims. These lawsuits allege, among other things, that we failed to comply with our standard of care in managing these active funds as a fiduciary under ERISA. We have also received inquiries from regulatory authorities regarding SSgA's active fixed-income strategies. Given our desire to fully respond to customer concerns, following the end of the third quarter of 2007, State Street undertook a further review of all the actively managed fixed-income strategies at SSgA that were exposed to sub-prime investments. Based on our review and on-going discussions with customers who were invested in these strategies, we established the reserve to address our estimated legal exposure.

        The reserve was established based upon our best judgment as to legal exposures and related costs associated with the active fixed-income investments. As of December 31, 2007, we had entered into settlement agreements with aggregate total payments of $16 million. We believe that our reserve will be adequate to accommodate the potential exposure relating to SSgA's active fixed-income strategies. The amount of the reserve is based on certain assumptions. While we believe the reserve represents a reasonable estimate of our legal exposure and other costs associated with these issues, we do not believe that it is feasible to predict or determine the amount of such exposure with certainty. As such, it is possible that we have overestimated or underestimated our exposure. If the amount of our actual exposure is materially different from our reserve, there would be a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

        To determine whether the issues that arose within the active fixed-income area are limited to SSgA's active fixed-income strategies, we are conducting, with the assistance of third-party consultants, a systematic review of the operational, risk and compliance infrastructure, procedures and resources across SSgA's entire product line. This review has only recently begun and no conclusions or recommendations have resulted from that review as of the date of this filing. While we do not believe that such review will identify material legal or regulatory exposures, there can be no assurance as to the conclusions of such review.

Regulatory/Legal/Accounting/Tax Risk

Most of our businesses are subject to extensive regulation, and many of the customers to which we provide services are themselves subject to a broad range of regulatory requirements. These regulations may affect the manner and terms of delivery of our services. As a financial institution with substantial international operations, we are subject to extensive regulatory and supervisory oversight, both in the U.S.United States and overseas in connection with our global operations. Our businesses are subject to stringent regulation and examination by U.S. federal and state governmental and regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve, the SEC and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banking,Banks, and self-regulatory organizations (including securities exchanges), and by non-U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies and self-


regulatoryself-regulatory organizations. The regulations affect, among other things, the scope of our activities and customer services, our capital structure and our ability to fund the operations of our subsidiaries, our lending practices, our dividend policy and the manner in which we market our services. Evolving regulations, such as the new Basel II capital framework and anti-money laundering regulations, can require significant effort on our part to ensure compliance. New or modified regulations and related regulatory guidance may have unforeseen or unintended adverse effects on the financial services industry.

If we do not comply with governmental regulations, we may be subject to fines, penalties or material restrictions on our businesses in the jurisdiction where the violation occurred, which canmay adversely affect our business operations and, in turn, our financial results. Similarly, many of our customers are subject to significant regulatory requirements, and retain our services in order for us to assist them in complying with those legal requirements. Changes in these regulations can significantly affect the services that we are asked to provide, as well as our costs. If we cause a customercustomers to fail to



comply with these regulatory requirements, we may be liable to them for losses and expenses that they incur. In addition, adverse publicity and damage to our reputation arising from the failure or perceived failure to comply with legal, regulatory or contractual requirements could affect our ability to attract and retain customers or to maintain access to capital markets, or could result in enforcement actions, fines, penalties and lawsuits. In recent years, regulatory oversight and enforcement hashave increased substantially, imposing additional costs and increasing the potential risks associated with our operations. If this regulatory trend continues, it could adversely affect our operations and, in turn, our financial results.

From time to time, our customers may make claims and take legal action pertaining to our performance of fiduciary or contractual responsibilities. If such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to us, such claims may result in financial liability to us and/or adversely affect the market perception of State Street and its products and services, and could impact customer demand for our products and services.  We record balance sheet reserves for such known and unknown loss contingencies, including litigation and operational losses; however, we cannot always estimate the ultimate outcome, and as a result the adequacy of these reserves to cover any settlements or judgments into which State Street ultimately enters or to which we are subject.

New accounting requirements, or changes in the interpretation of existing accounting requirements, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the SEC, and bank regulators can potentially affect our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, as accounting rules in the U.S.United States and other jurisdictions consistently evolve to reflect the increasing complexities of business. These changes are very difficult to predict, and can materially impact how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations and other financial information. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in the revised treatment of certain transactions or activities, and, in some cases, the restatement of prior period financial statements.

Our businesses are subject to changes incan be affected by new tax legislation andor the interpretation of existing tax laws worldwide. These legislative actionsChanges in tax laws may impactaffect our business directly or indirectly through their impact on the financial markets. In the normal course of business, we are subject to reviews by U.S. and non-U.S. tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due.authorities. These reviews may result in adjustments to the timing or amount of taxes due and the allocation of taxable income among tax jurisdictions. While such changes may or may not have an economic impact on our business, these changesThese adjustments could affect the attainment of our current financial goals.

Risk Management

        We seek to monitor and manage risk on a corporate basis and within specific business units. The types of risk that we monitor and seek to manage include operational risk, interest rate risk, trading risk, fiduciary risk, legal and compliance risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. We have adopted various policies, procedures and systems to monitor and manage risk. There can be no assurance that those policies, procedures or systems are adequate to identify and mitigate all risks inherent in our various business. In addition, our businesses and the markets in which we operate are continuously evolving. We may fail to fully understand the implications of changes in our business or the financial markets and fail to adequately or timely enhance our risk framework to address those changes. If our risk framework is ineffective, either because it fails to keep pace with changes in the financial markets or our business or for other reasons, we could incur losses.

        We also measure our material risks. Our measurement methodologies rely upon many assumptions and historical analyses and correlations. There can be no assurance that those assumptions will be correct or that the historical correlations will continue to be relevant. Consequently the measurements that we make for regulatory and economic capital may not adequately capture or express the true risk profiles of our businesses. Additionally, as businesses and markets evolve, our measurements may not accurately reflect those changes. While our risk measures may indicate sufficient capitalization, we may in fact have inadequate capital to conduct our businesses.

      We exceededcompleted our operating-basisacquisition of Currenex in March 2007. For the period March to December 2007, the acquired Currenex business contributed approximately $65 million of revenue, primarily other trading services revenue.

      We completed our acquisition of Investors Financial in July 2007, and issued approximately 60.8 million shares in the transaction. For the second half of the year, the acquired Investors Financial business contributed $456 million in revenue, including $395 million in fee revenue, and $340 million in operating expenses. In connection with the acquisition, during the second half of the year we recorded $198 million, or $129 million after-tax, of merger and integration costs.

      During the second half of 2007, we purchased 13.4 million shares of our common stock, as well as an additional .6 million shares in January 2008, under a $1 billion accelerated share repurchase program, which program concluded on January 18, 2008.

      During the fourth quarter of 2007, we recorded a net pre-tax charge of $467 million, or $279 million after-tax, to establish a reserve associated with certain active fixed-income strategies managed by SSgA.

    Our financial results for 2006 are summarizeddiscussed in the following “Financial Highlights” section, followed bysections on both a more detailed discussionGAAP basis and on an "operating" basis. Management measures certain financial information on an operating basis to provide for meaningful comparisons from period to period, and to present comparable financial trends with respect to our normal ongoing business operations. Management believes that operating-basis financial information, which includes the impact of revenue from non-taxable sources and excludes the impact of non-recurring expenses, facilitates an investor's understanding and analysis of State Street's underlying performance and trends in the “Consolidated Results of Operations” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    Financial Highlights

    For 2006,2007, we recorded income from continuing operations of $1.3 billion, or $3.45 per diluted share, compared to $1.1 billion, or $3.26 per diluted share, a 16% increase from $945 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, for 2005.2006. Total revenue increased 15%32% from 2005,2006, and return on equity from continuing operations was 13.4% compared to 16.2%. for 2006. Results for 2007 included two significant expenses. First, we recorded aggregate merger and integration costs of $198 million, or $129 million after-tax, in connection with our acquisition of Investors Financial. Second, we recorded a net pre-tax charge of $467 million, or $279 million after-tax, in connection with the establishment of a reserve to address legal exposure and other costs associated with the underperformance of certain active fixed-income strategies managed by SSgA, and customer concerns as to whether the execution of these strategies was consistent with the customers' investment intent. These costs are more fully discussed in the "Consolidated Results of Operations—Operating Expenses" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

    Overall        Our results for 2006 included net income from discontinued operations of $10 million (pre-tax income of $16 million reduced by related income tax expense of $6 million), or $.03 per diluted share, the result of the finalization of certain legal, selling and other costs recorded in connection with our divestiture of Bel Air Investment Advisors LLC. Our results for 2005 included a net loss from discontinued operations of $107 million ($165 million charge reduced by related tax benefit of $58 million), related to our commitment to divest Bel Air.

    Total revenue for 20062007 grew 15%32% from 2005, with about three-quarters of the growth generated from existing customers.2006. Total fee revenue for 2006,2007, which grew 14%27%, reflected consistent growth throughout the year in servicing fees and management fees, up 10%24% and 26%21%, respectively, compared to 2005.2006, and trading services and securities finance revenue, up 34% and 76%, respectively. Generally, servicing fees benefited from our continued expansion overseasthe inclusion of the acquired Investors Financial



    business, net new business and our cross-selling of services to our broad customer base, whilefavorable equity markets, and management fees benefited primarily from the strategic introduction of quantitative active products, which provide higher-margin revenue.net new business and favorable equity markets. Trading services revenue which benefited from strong capital markets in the first half of 2006, grew 24% year over year. Securities finance revenue, which peaked in the second quarter and declined in the third quarterprimarily as a result of seasonality,increases in customer volumes and the inclusion of the acquired Investors Financial business, with respect to foreign exchange revenue, and as a result of the inclusion of revenue from the acquired Currenex business, with respect to other trading services revenue. Securities finance revenue benefited from increases in volumes of securities loaned, both from new customers and for the full year increased 17% from 2005. We continued to cross-sell ourgrowth in volume from existing customer relationshipscustomers, and to introduce new products and services to existing and new customers.increases in spreads.

    Net interest revenue increased 22%56% compared to 2005,2006, and net interest margin increased to 1.25%1.71% from 1.08%1.25%. This growth was the result of several favorable trends—(1) the balance sheet repositioning we began to execute in late 2004; (2) higher yieldsfavorable rates and volumes on the re-investment of securities as they matured; (3) growth in our average balance sheet due to increased customer activity; (4) a more favorable mix of customer deposits, particularly non-U.S. deposits; (2) the addition of interest-earning assets from Investors Financial's balance sheet; and (5)(3) the absencefavorable impact of increases in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve during the second half of the year. We accomplished the repositioning of the balance sheet without adversely affecting the credit profile of our investment portfolio, and at year-end 2006 had about 94% of the portfolio invested in “AAA” or “AA” rated securities, with 88% invested in “AAA” rated securities, compared to 95% and 90%, respectively, at year-end 2005.fixed-rate investments.

    Total operating expenses increased 12%42% from 2005,2006, partly reflective of the $665 million aggregate impact of merger and integration costs associated with Investors Financial and a net pre-tax charge associated with certain SSgA active fixed-income strategies. If these aggregate costs are excluded, total operating expenses for 2007 totaled $5.768 billion ($6.433 billion less $665 million), an increase of 27% from $4.54 billion for 2006, as we continued to carefully manage operating expenses and balance consistent expense managementgrowth in operating expenses with revenue growth.growth in revenue. Most of the increase wasresulted from the resultinclusion of the operating expenses of the acquired Investors Financial business for the second half of 2007, as well as increased incentive compensation due to our improved performance and increased headcountstaffing levels to support new business, particularly internationally. AsExcluding the aggregate $665 million of merger and integration costs and the net pre-tax charge, as a result of year-over-year growth in revenue of 32% and year-over-year growth in total operating expenses of 27% as described above, we generated positive operating leverage of almost 300approximately 500 basis points on an annual basis, which wepoints. We define positive operating leverage as a rate of total revenue growth that exceeds the rate of growth of total operating expenses.expenses, determined on an operating basis.


    SSgA is increasingly becomingwas a more significant contributor to our overall results as that businessfor 2007. Its total revenue increased 25% for 2007 over 2006, and comprised about 19%18% of our total consolidated revenue and about 24%for 2007, compared to 19% for 2006. In addition, SSgA generated net new business in assets under management, which we expect will generate management fee revenue in future years, of approximately $116 billion for 2007, compared to $86 billion for 2006. The decline in SSgA's relative contribution to our consolidated total revenue was the result of the impact of the acquired Investors Financial business's revenue on total revenue of our total income from continuing operations before income taxesInvestment Servicing line of business, which increased 34% for 2006, compared to 18% and 21%, respectively, for 2005, and achieved a pre-tax operating margin of 35%, up from 31% for 2005. Net new business at SSgA was about $86 billion, with about two-thirds in active management products, such as enhanced indexing, hedge fund strategies and active quantitative management.2007 over 2006.

    We continue to expand our business outside of the U.S., particularly in Europe and the Asia-PacificAsia/Pacific region. For 2006,2007, approximately 43%$3.42 billion, or 41% of our consolidated total revenue of $8.336 billion, was generated from non-U.S. activities, upcompared to 43% for 2006. The 2007 percentage reflects revenue from the acquired Investors Financial business, which was predominantly generated in the U.S. For illustrative purposes, if we exclude total revenue from the acquired Investors Financial business for 2007 of $456 million, non-U.S. revenue of $3.42 billion for 2007 comprised approximately 39%43% of consolidated total revenue for 2005, and2007 of $7.88 billion ($8.336 billion less $456 million). At year-end 2007, we employed 9,500 outside the U.S., compared to 8,630 at year-end 2006 we employed 8,630 outside the U.S.2006. Our goal is to eventually generate 50% of our consolidated total revenue from outside the United States.

    Assets under custody and assets under management both increased to record levels atfrom year-end 2006, with assets under custody at $11.85$15.30 trillion, up 17%29% from $10.12$11.85 trillion a year ago, and assets under management at $1.75$1.98 trillion, up 21%13% from $1.44$1.75 trillion a year ago. The acquired Investors Financial business contributed $1.9 trillion of assets under custody. Assets under custody have grown at a compound annual rate of 18%13% since year-end 2002,2003, with U.S. assets growing by 14%12% and non-U.S. assets growing by 36%16%, while assets under management have grown at a compound annual rate of 23%16% over the same period.

    Financial Goals

    In early 2006, we reaffirmed our financial goals for State Street for 2006. These financial goals were:

    ·       Growth in operating-basis revenue of between 8% and 12%;

    ·       Growth in operating-basis earnings per share from continuing operations of between 10% and 15%; and

    ·       Operating-basis return on shareholders’ equity from continuing operations of between 14% and 17%.

    Operating-basis results, as defined by management, include fully taxable-equivalent net interest revenue, reflecting tax-equivalent adjustments of $45 million and $42 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively, and a corresponding charge to income tax expense, and for 2006, exclude aggregate tax-related adjustments of $65 million, or $.20 per share. The tax adjustments related to additional provisions that resulted from the impact of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act and issues with respect to certain of our leveraged leases.

    Management measures our financial goals and related results on an operating basis to provide financial information that is comparable from period to period, and to present comparable financial trends with respect to our ongoing business operations. The use of fully taxable-equivalent net interest revenue facilitates the comparison of revenues from both taxable and non-taxable sources. The previously described tax-related adjustments are not part of our normal ongoing business operations, and as a result prevent a meaningful comparison of earnings per share and return on shareholders’ equity with that of other periods. Management believes that operating-basis financial information facilitates an investor’s understanding and analysis of State Street’s underlying performance and trends in addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    For 2006, we exceeded our financial goals. We increased our operating-basis earnings per share from continuing operations by 23%, from $2.82 to $3.46 (up 16% from $2.82 to $3.26 on a GAAP basis, including the tax-related adjustments). Our operating-basis revenue increased 15% from $5.52 billion to $6.36 billion (including taxable-equivalent adjustments of $45 million for 2006 and $42 million for 2005); and we recorded operating basis return on shareholders’ equity from continuing operations of 17.1% (16.2% on a GAAP basis, including the tax-related adjustments).


    Outlook

    Our long term financial goals remain the same, but based on our recently announced agreement to acquire Investors Financial, we have adjusted our financial goals for 2007 to the following, assuming the acquisition closes in July 2007:

    ·       Growth in operating-basis revenue of between 16% and 18%;

    ·       Growth in operating-basis earnings per share from continuing operations of between 8% and 10%; and

    ·       Operating-basis return on shareholders’ equity from continuing operations of between 12% and 15%.

    Operating-basis results for 2007 will exclude merger, integration and restructuring charges related to the above-mentioned acquisition, and for 2006 will exclude the previously discussed tax-related adjustments. Some of the factors and assumptions that we considered in determining this outlook for 2007 were as follows:

    ·       Expected equity market growth, based on S&P 500 and/or MSCI® EAFE indices, of about 7%;

    We are one of the world’sworld's leading specialists in servicing mutual funds, other collective investment funds and pension plans. We are consistently gaining business globally, and for 2006,2007, our non-U.S. revenue was approximately 43%41% of our total revenue, compared to 26%43% for 2000.2006 and 24% for 2002. We provide a broad range of reliable, easy-to-integrate investment services that are global and enable our customers to develop and launch competitive new investment products. We also provide active management products, including enhanced indexing, hedge fund strategies and quantitative management, and passive investment management products and strategies.

    We provide fund accounting, custody, investment management, securities finance, transfer agency services, and operations outsourcing for investment managers and hedge fund managers. These services support the complex financial strategies and transactions of our customers worldwide, in any time zone across multiple currencies. Our focus on the total needs of the customer allows us to develop active, long-term relationships that result in high customer retention, cross-selling opportunities, and recurring revenue. The servicing markets in which we compete are very price-competitive, and we consistently focus on winning and retaining customer business. This focus requires a strong commitment to customers while constantly working toward providing services at lower costs.

    Our broad range of services generates fee revenue and net interest revenue. Fee revenue generated by investment servicing and investment management is augmented by securities finance, trading services and other processing fee revenue. We earn net interest revenue from customers’customers' deposits and short-term investment activities, by providing deposit services and short-term investment vehicles, such as repurchase agreements and commercial paper, to meet customers’customers' needs for high-grade liquid investments, and investing these sources of funds and additional borrowings in assets yielding a higher rate.


    Fee Revenue

    Servicing and management fees are the largest components of fee revenue, and collectively comprised approximately 71%69% of total fee revenue for 20062007 and 2005.71% for 2006. These fees are a function of several factors, including the mix and volume of assets under custody and assets under management, securities positions held and the volume of portfolio transactions, and the types of products and services used by customers, and are affected by changes in worldwide equity and fixed incomefixed-income valuations.


    Generally, servicing fees are impacted, in part, by changes in daily average valuations of assets under custody, while management fees are impacted by changes in month-end valuations of assets under management. Additional factors, such as the level of transaction volumes, changes in service level, balance credits, customer minimum balances, pricing concessions and other factors may have a significant impact on servicing fee revenue. Generally, management fee revenue is more sensitive to market valuations than servicing fee revenue. In addition,Management fees also include performance fees, have become a larger componentwhich amounted to approximately 6% of management fee revenue over the past two years, and amountedfees for 2007 compared to about 9% of management fees for 2006. Performance fees are generated when the performance of managed funds exceeds benchmarks specified in the management agreements.agreements, and we experience more volatility with performance fees than with more traditional management fees.

    In light of the above, we estimate, assuming all other factors remain constant, that a 10% increase or decrease in worldwide equity values would result in a corresponding change in our total revenue of approximately 2%. If fixed incomefixed-income security values were to increase or decrease by 10%, we would anticipate a corresponding change of approximately 1% in our total revenue.

    The following table presents selected equity market indices. Daily averages and the averages of month-end indices demonstrate worldwide equity market valuation changes that impact servicing and management fee revenue, respectively. Year-end indices impact the value of assets under custody and management at those dates. The index names listed in the table and elsewhere in this Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis are service marks of their respective owners.

    The increase in servicing fees of $249$665 million from 20052006 primarily resulted from the inclusion of $304 million of servicing fee revenue from the acquired Investors Financial business, net new business from existing and new customers, higher average equity market valuations and higher customer transaction volumes.

    Trading Services:Services

    Trading services revenue includes revenue from foreign exchange trading and brokerage and other trading services. We offer a complete range of foreign exchange services under an account model that focuses on the global requirements of our customers to execute trades and receive market insights in any time zone. In March 2007, we acquired Currenex's electronic foreign exchange trading platform. The Currenex business serves hedge funds, banks and other commercial enterprises in the active-trading segment of the foreign exchange market. We have exclusive ownership of FX Connect®Connect®, the world’sworld's first and leading foreign exchange trading platform, and we provide quantitatively-based research into investor behavior, as well as consultative services that use quantitative tools designed to optimize our customers’



    customers' returns. Foreign exchange trading revenue is influenced by three principal factors: the volume and type of customer foreign exchange transactions; currency volatility and trend;volatility; and the management of currency market risks.

    For 2006,2007, foreign exchange trading revenue increased 31%, to $802 million from $611 million from $468 million in 2005,2006, and benefited from a strong firstthe disruption in the global securities markets that occurred in the second half of the year. The increase was mainly driven by a 39% increase in customer volumes, but also was the result of the inclusion of $43 million of foreign exchange revenue from 2005 resulted from increased transaction volumes, a favorablethe acquired Investors Financial business. These increases were partly offset by an unfavorable transaction mix related to custody FX services,influenced by lower margin transactions and an increase in FX trading profits, partially offset by a 5% decline in customer volume-weighted currency volatility.

    We also offer a range of brokerage and other trading products tailored specifically to meet the needs of the global pension community, including transition management, commission recapture and self-directed brokerage. These products are differentiated by our position as an agent of the institutional investor. Brokerage and other trading fees were $251$350 million in 2006,2007, up 11%39% compared to 2005. Growth2006. The increase was attributable to a significantthe contribution of revenue from the acquired Currenex business and an increase in other trading services and trading profits, offset by a slight decrease in brokerage revenue the result of a decline in commission recapture revenue.from transition management.

    Securities Finance:Finance

    Securities finance provides liquidity to the financial markets and an effective means for customers to earn revenue on their existing portfolios. By acting as a lending agent and coordinating loans between lenders and borrowers, we lend securities and provide liquidity in more than 35 marketsto customers around the world. Borrowers provide collateral in the form of cash or securities to State Street in return for loaned securities. For cash collateral, we pay a usage fee to the provider of the cash collateral, and invest the cash collateral in certain investment vehicles. The spread between the yield on the investment vehicle and the usage fee


    paid to the provider of the collateral is split between the lender of the securities and State Street as agent. For non-cash collateral, the borrower pays a fee for the loaned securities, and the fee is split between the lender of the securities and State Street.

    Securities finance revenue has historically been affected by seasonality during the year, and is principally a function of the volume of securities loaned and the interest-rate spreads earned on the collateral. During 2006, securities finance revenue peaked in the second quarter, as a result of heavy borrowing demand from customers, declined in the third quarter, and rebounded slightly in the fourth quarter. Overall,For 2007, securities finance revenue increased 17%76% from a year earlier. Growth inearlier, as loan volumes increased 30%, with this revenue over 2005 resultedvolume resulting from a 22% increase in securities lending volumes.both new customer demand and increased demand from existing customers. Consolidated spread was essentially unchangedalso increased, primarily in the domestic and non-U.S. equity portfolios and the corporate bond and fixed-income portfolios. Spreads benefited from reductions in federal funds rates during 2007, as well as from the prior year.above-mentioned market disruption.

    Processing Fees and Other:Other

    Processing fees and other revenue includes diverse types of fees and other revenue, including fees from our structured products business, fees from software licensing and maintenance, profits and losses from unconsolidated subsidiaries, gains and losses on sales of leased equipment and other assets, and amortization of investments in tax-advantaged financings. Processing fees and other revenue decreased 10%13% from 2005,2006, with an additional $32 million of revenue from the decline partially due toacquired Investors Financial business and improved joint venture performance more than offset by reduced revenue from the structured products business, primarily from the asset-backed commercial paper program, and the absence of feesrevenue from Deutsche Bank AG related to customer depositsour tax-exempt investment program. The absence of revenue from the tax-exempt investment program resulted from the impact of the acquired Global Securities Services, or “GSS,” business, which were converted toconsolidation of the program onto our systemsbalance sheet on September 30, 2006. As a result of this consolidation, revenue from the program, previously recorded in prior years.processing fees and other, is now recorded in net interest revenue.

    Net interest revenue is defined as the total of interest revenue on interest-earning assets less interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets, which consist of investment securities, loans and leases and money market assets, are financed primarily by customer deposits and short-term borrowings. Additional detail about the components of interest revenue and interest expense is in Notenote 16 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    The increase in        On a fully taxable-equivalent basis, net interest revenue for 2006increased 55% (56% on a GAAP basis) compared to 20052006, and net interest margin increased to 1.71% from 1.25%. This growth was duethe result of several favorable trends. First, transaction deposit volume, particularly with respect to several factors. Onnon-U.S. deposits, increased 28%, and spread increased 29%. Volume increases resulted from net new business in non-U.S. assets under custody, as we continue to grow our servicing business internationally, and spreads increased because deposit rates lagged rate increases by foreign central banks during 2006 and 2007. Second, the asset side, there was an increaseacquired Investors Financial business added interest-earning assets and related net interest revenue. Third, as fixed-rate investment securities matured, they were replaced by higher yielding investments.

            Net interest margin represents the relationship between net interest revenue and average interest-earning assets. Changes in averagethe components of interest-earning assets, as well as higher yields on our investmentinterest-bearing liabilities, are discussed in more detail below.


            Average federal funds sold and securities portfolio.purchased under resale agreements increased 12.3% or $1.58 billion, from $12.82 billion in 2006 to $14.40 billion for 2007. The higher yields wereincrease was primarily the result of a higher interest rate environment as well as a repositioning program begun in late 2004 and substantially completed in the second half of 2006. On the liability side, a higher level of customer deposits, primarily resulting from the growth of our non-U.S. operations, as well as a more favorable mix of deposits, also contributed to the growth in net interest revenue. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of higher funding costs, as the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates during the first half of the year.excess liquidity.

    For the year ended December 31, 2006, our        Our average investment securities portfolio increased from approximately $51.2$61.58 billion to approximately $61.6 billion.$70.99 billion, primarily due to the acquisition of investment securities of Investors Financial and increases in our tax-exempt securities portfolio. The investment portfolio includednow includes a higher percentage of collateralized mortgage obligations and floating-rate, asset-backedmortgage- and asset- backed securities compared to a year earlier, and a lower percentage of U.S. Treasuries and direct obligations of federal agencies. The shift in the portfolio was designed to better position us in a rising short-term interest-rate environment, withoutearlier. These increases did not adversely affectingaffect overall risk, as we continued to invest conservatively in “AA”"AA" and “AAA”"AAA" rated securities. “AA”Securities rated "AA" and “AAA” rated securities"AAA" comprised approximately 94%95% of the investment securities portfolio, with approximately 88% “AAA”89% "AAA" rated, at December 31, 2007.

            Loans and leases averaged $10.75 billion, up 40% from $7.67 billion in 2006. The increase was related to higher levels of customer overdraft activity. Approximately 70% of the loans and leases portfolio is composed of U.S. and non-U.S. short-duration advances, primarily related to the processing of custodied customer investments, which averaged approximately $7.53 billion for 2007, up from $5.21 billion in 2006.

            The $12.59 billion increase in average interest-bearing deposits from 2006 was mainly due to the acquisition of Investors Financial and an increase in low cost customer deposits, primarily non-U.S. deposits. This deposit growth funded the $11.89 billion increase in average interest-earning assets.

            Average short-term borrowings decreased primarily due to the liquidity provided by the increase in customer deposits, and long-term debt increased due to debt issuances associated with the Investors Financial acquisition.

    Several factors could affect future levels of net interest revenue and margin, including the Federal Reserve’sReserve's ongoing actions to manage short-term interest rates, the level and pace of changes in non-U.S. interest rates, particularly byas a result of actions of the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, the mix of customer liabilities, and the shapes of the various yield curves around the world.

    Gains (Losses) on Sales of Available-for-Sale Securities, Net

    Our management of the investment securities portfolio has many objectives, the foremost of which is to generate maximum return with modest duration and credit risk. In addition, we structure the portfolioare to provide liquidity and to serve as a source of collateral for customer activities. These objectives may entail strategic sales of specific securities as market conditions warrant. We recorded net gains of $15$7 million on sales of available-for-sale securities for 2006,2007, compared to net lossesgains of $1$15 million for 2005.2006. At December 31, 2006,2007, approximately 93%94% of the investment securities portfolio, or $60.45$70.33 billion, was classified as available for sale. Additional information about available-for-sale securities, and the gross gains and losses that comprise the net gains, is in Notenote 3 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    The 19%23% increase in salaries and employee benefits from 20052006 was driven primarily by the inclusion of approximately $180 million of salaries and benefits expense of the acquired Investors Financial business and salaries and benefits expense of the acquired Currenex business, higher incentive compensation costs due to improved performance which were offset by the reduction of incentive compensation recorded as part of the net pre-tax charge related to SSgA discussed later in this section, and the impact of higher staffing levels and annual merit increases, and planned benefit increases.levels. Staffing levels increased to support growth in our Investment Servicing business, particularly in Europe, and in our Investment Management business, as well as in information technology and risk management.

    The slight increase in information systems and communications expense primarily resultedincluded approximately $21 million from higher telecommunications costs and third party software expendituresthe acquired Investors Financial business, as well as increased spending internationally to support overseas growth.

    Transaction processing services expenses are volume-related, and include equity trading services and fees related to securities settlement, sub-custodian fees and external contract services. The 10%25% increase primarily resultedincluded approximately $39 million from the acquired Investors Financial business, specifically sub-custody costs, higher transaction volumes, and external contract services, primarily in Europe.

            Occupancy expense was up 9% from 2006, primarily due to additional leased space acquired as part of the Investors Financial acquisition, as well as expansionhigher occupancy costs in support of our operationsgrowth in Europe.


    Occupancy        During the fourth quarter of 2007, we recorded a net pre-tax charge of $467 million in connection with the establishment of a reserve to address litigation exposure and other costs associated with certain active fixed-income strategies managed by SSgA and customer concerns as to whether the execution of these strategies was consistent with customers' investment intent. The net charge had the following components—a provision for legal exposure of $625 million offset by $25 million of insurance coverage; a $156 million reduction of salaries and benefits expense was down 5% from 2005,related to reduced incentive compensation primarily dueassociated with SSgA, offset by $15 million of severance costs; and $8 million of other expenses related to the absenceprofessional fees. More information about this litigation exposure is included in note 10 of the $26 million charge recorded in 2005 related to a long-term sub-lease agreement for space in our headquarters building, offset by a slight increase in energy and other utility costs.

    The 7% increase in other expenses from 2005 primarily resulted from increased costs to support growth initiatives, offset by a decline in professional services fees related to information technology and the restructuring of our Global Treasury function, which occurred in 2005.

    Income Taxes

    The increase in income tax expense from continuing operations to $675 million for 2006, from $487 million a year ago, resulted from increased pre-tax earnings, as well as $81 million of aggregate adjustments recorded during 2006 primarily related to the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act and the potential resolution of issues with the IRS with respect to certain of our leveraged leases. Additional information about these adjustments is in Notes 10 and 20 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

            During the second half of 2007, in connection with the Investors Financial acquisition, we recorded merger and integration costs of $198 million. These costs consisted only of direct and incremental costs to integrate the acquired Investors Financial business into our operations, and did not include on-going expenses of the combined organization. The costs included a non-cash charge of approximately $91 million resulting from the termination of an operating lease related to one of our office buildings in Boston. This termination was completed in connection with an overall evaluation of our requirements for office space as a result of the acquisition.


            The merger and integration costs also included $42 million associated with employee retention and other compensation, and $22 million associated with the integration of the acquired Investors Financial business's accounting and management systems. In addition, subsequent to the completion of the acquisition, we redeemed an aggregate of $500 million of unsecured junior subordinated debentures issued by the parent company to two of our statutory business trusts, composed of $200 million of 7.94% debentures issued in 1996 and $300 million of 8.035% debentures issued in 1997. We paid the trusts the outstanding amount on the debentures plus accrued interest and an aggregate redemption premium of approximately $20 million, which was included in the merger and integration costs.

            The 56% increase in other expenses from 2006 primarily resulted from the acquired Investors Financial business, increases in professional services, securities processing costs, higher sales promotion costs and increased amortization of intangibles that resulted from the acquisitions of Investors Financial and Currenex.

    Income Taxes

            Income tax expense totaled $642 million for 2007, compared to $675 million from continuing operations a year ago. The decrease was primarily the result of the absence of the impact of federal tax legislation that increased income tax expense for 2006. The overall effective tax rate for continuing operations for 20062007 was 38.1%33.7%, compared to 34%38.1% for 2005.2006. Additional information about income tax expense is in note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    The 2006 income tax expense from discontinued operations of $6 million was related to $16 million of income associated with the finalization of certain costs recorded in connection with our divestiture of Bel Air, which was completed during 2006. The 2005 income tax benefit from discontinued operations of $58 million was related to the loss of $165 million recorded in connection with our agreement to divest Bel Air in 2005.

    Information about income tax contingencies related to our leveraged lease portfolio is in Notenote 10 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    LINE OF BUSINESS INFORMATION

    We report two lines of business: Investment Servicing and Investment Management. Given our services and management organization, the results of operations for these lines of business are not necessarily comparable with those of other companies, including companies in the financial services industry.

    Investment Servicing

    The 14%34% increase in total revenue from 20052006 was primarily driven by increases in servicing fees and trading services fees and securities finance revenue, as well as a 19%60% increase in net interest revenue, slightly offset by a decline in processing fees and other revenue.

    Servicing fees were upincreased from 20052006 primarily due to the contribution of fees from the acquired Investors Financial business, increases in net new business from existing and new customers, higher equity valuations and higher customer transaction volumes. The increase in trading services revenue reflected a higher dollar volume of foreign exchange trades for customers and a higher volume of fixed incomefixed-income transition management business. Securities finance revenue increased as a result of higher lending volumes and increased spreads. Processing fees and other revenue declined from 2005, partly2006, primarily as a result of a declinedeclines in feesrevenue associated with the commercial paper conduits and our



    tax-exempt investment program, the latter of which was consolidated onto our balance sheet in 2006. Revenue from Deutsche Bank AG as GSS customer deposits were converted to our systems.this program is now recorded in net interest revenue.

    Servicing andfees, trading services feesrevenue and net gains (losses) on sales of available-for-sale securities for our Investment Servicing business line are identical to the respective consolidated results. Refer to the “Servicing"Servicing Fees,” “Trading Services”" "Trading Services" and “Gains"Gains (Losses) on Sales of Available-For-Sale Securities, Net”Net" captions in the “Total Revenue”"Total Revenue" section of this Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis for a more in-depth discussion. A discussion of processing fees and other revenue is provided under the caption “Processing"Processing Fees and Other”Other" in the “Total Revenue”"Total Revenue" section.

    Net interest revenue forincreased 60% from 2006 increased 19% from 2005 due to an increase in average interest-earning assets, including those from the acquired Investors Financial business, as well as higher yields on our investment securities portfolio. The higher yields were the result of a repositioning program begun in late 2004 and substantially completed in the second half of 2006, which is further discussed under the caption “Net Interest Revenue” in the “Total Revenue” section of this


    Management’s Discussion and Analysis. In 2004, we reduced the allowance for loan losses through a reduction of the loan loss provision as a result of reduced credit exposures and overall improved credit quality.portfolio A portion of net interest revenue is recorded in the Investment Management business line based on the volume of customer liabilities attributable to that business.

    Operating expenses increased from 2005,2006, driven primarily by the inclusion of the operating expenses of the acquired Investors Financial business and Currenex, as well as higher incentive compensation costs due to improved performance and the impact of higher staffing levels and annual merit increases, and planned benefit increases.levels. Staffing levels increased to support growth in business, particularly in Europe. Transaction processing costs increased due to a higher volume of securities settlements and higher sub-custodian fees.fees, particularly from the acquired Investors Financial business. Other expenses increased as a result of an increasethe inclusion of expenses of the acquired Investors Financial business, increases in costs to support growth initiatives, offset by lower professional services, fees partly related tosecurities processing costs and increased amortization of intangibles that resulted from the restructuring of Global Treasury.Investors Financial and Currenex acquisitions.

    Investment Management

    Total revenue for 20062007 increased 25% from 2005.2006. Management fees for the Investment Management business line, which were up 26%21%, are identical to the respective consolidated results. Refer to the “Management Fees”"Management Fees" caption in the “Total Revenue”"Total Revenue" section of this Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis for a more in-depth discussion. Performance fees increased from $41 million for 2005 to $84 million for 2006, and accounted for almost one-quarter of the increase in management fees. Securities finance revenue for 20062007 was up 34%73% from 2005,2006, reflecting higher securities lending volumes.volumes and increased spreads. Net interest revenue improved due to higher volumes of customer liabilities, primarily resulting from the growth of our non-U.S. operations, as well as a more favorable mix of deposits.

    Operating expenses of $981 million, which do not include the net pre-tax charge allocated to Investment Management of $514 million, increased 18%23% from 2005,$798 million in 2006, primarily attributabledue to higherthe cost of increases in staffing levels to support growth in business, and related increases in information systems and communications expenses. The net pre-tax charge was recorded in connection with the establishment of a reserve to address legal exposure and other costs associated with the under-performance of certain active fixed-income strategies managed by SSgA and customer concerns as to whether the execution of these strategies was consistent with the customers' investment intent. The net charge had the following components—a provision for legal exposure of $625 million offset by $25 million of insurance coverage; a $109 million reduction of salaries and benefits expense related to reduced incentive compensation offset by $15 million of severance costs; and $8 million of other expenses related to professional fees. More information about this charge is included in the "Consolidated Results of Operations—Operating Expenses" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

            The pre-tax margin for Investment Management, which is the percentage of the business line's pre-tax income to its total revenue, was 3% for 2007 compared to 35% for 2006 and 31% for 2005. The significant decrease in margin was the result of the net charge described above. Without the net charge, Investment Management's pre-tax income would have been $555 million ($41 million plus $514 million), and its pre-tax margin would have been 36% for 2007.


            During the second half of 2007, the global markets for fixed-income securities, particularly the markets for financial instruments collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, experienced significant disruption. This disruption affected the liquidity and pricing of securities traded in these markets, as well as the returns of, and levels of redemptions in, investment vehicles investing in those instruments. Additional information about the impact of these market conditions on the asset-backed commercial paper conduits administered by State Street is provided in the "Off Balance Sheet Arrangements" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis and in the Risk Factors section included under Item 1A of this Form 10-K.

            As of December 31, 2007, global fixed-income assets under management totaled approximately $259 billion, an increase of approximately $45 billion compared to $214 billion at December 31, 2006, with approximately $43 billion under active management. This amount included approximately $6.1 billion of SSgA customer assets which were invested in strategies that were adversely affected by a combination of holdings in financial instruments collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, illiquidity in the fixed-income markets generally, and customer redemptions. These strategies included approximately $2.2 billion of institutional customer investments in non-registered pooled investment funds; approximately $2.1 billion of unit investments by other SSgA investment funds in the same non-registered pooled investment funds; approximately $1.6 billion of institutional customer investments in separately-managed customer accounts; and approximately $0.2 billion of customer investments in mutual funds.

            Information about recent proceedings, legal exposure and related costs dueand other similar matters associated with SSgA's active fixed-income strategies, including the establishment of a reserve of approximately $625 million, is included in "Risk Factors—Litigation Risks" included under Item 1A; the "Consolidated Results of Operations—Operating Expenses" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis; and note 10 of the Notes to improved performance.Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

    The increase in total revenue for 20052006 compared to 20042005 primarily reflected growth in fee revenue, but also reflected higher net interest revenue and a $16 million gain from final settlement of the sale of our Private Asset Management business. Fee revenue in 2005 primarilywhich mainly reflected growth in servicing and management trading services and securities finance fees.fees, with almost 70% of the overall growth in fee revenue generated from these two services.

    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

    Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Notenote 1 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    The majority of these accounting policies do not involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates in their application, or the variability of the estimates is not material to the consolidated financial statements. However, certain of these accounting policies, by their nature, require management to make judgments, involving significant estimates and assumptions, about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and changes in this information over time could



    materially impact amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in subsequent financial statements.

    Based on the sensitivity of reported financial statement amounts to the underlying policies, estimates and assumptions, the relatively more significant accounting policies applied by State Street have been identified by management as accounting for lease financing;fair value of financial instruments; accounting for special purpose entities; accounting for goodwill; and accounting for income taxes; and accounting for pension costs.taxes. These policies require the most subjective or complex judgments, and related estimates and assumptions could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available. An understanding of the judgments, estimates and assumptions underlying these accounting policies is essential in order to understand our reported consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

    The following is a brief discussion of the above-mentioned significant accounting policies. Management of State Street has discussed these significant accounting estimates with the Examining and Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, or “Board.”Directors.

    Lease FinancingFair Value of Financial Instruments

    We havecarry certain of our assets and liabilities at fair value in our consolidated financial statements, including trading assets, investment securities available for sale and derivative instruments. At December 31, 2007, approximately $75.43 billion of our assets and approximately $4.57 billion of our liabilities were carried at fair value. The fair value of a leveraged lease portfolio consisting of U.S. and cross-border financings, primarily for transportation equipment, including trains, aircraft and ships. Lease financing investments are reported at the aggregate of lease payments receivable and estimated residual values, net of non-recourse debt and unearned income. Unearned incomefinancial instrument is recognized in interest revenue to yield a level rate of return on the net investment in the leases.

    Measuring the net investment and interest revenue related to lease financing requires the use of several assumptions regarding estimates of residual values,defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an arm's length transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices and timingobservable market inputs. For a significant amount of our assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value, those fair values are determined based upon quotations provided by independent third-party pricing services or observable market inputs, and as a result there is little or no management judgment involved in determining fair value. Prices provided by independent third-party pricing services are subject to review by management. In developing their quotations, the independent pricing services seek to utilize observable inputs, including trade and market information. However, because many fixed-income securities do not trade regularly, the pricing services' quotations may also be based on proprietary financial models that incorporate available information, such as benchmarking to similar securities, sector groupings or matrix pricing.

            Quotations may not always be available for some securities or in markets where trading activity has slowed or ceased. When quotations are not available, and are not provided by third-party pricing services, management judgment is necessary to determine fair value. In situations involving management judgment, fair value is determined using discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models, which incorporate available market information, including appropriate benchmarking to similar instruments, analysis of default and recovery rates, estimation of prepayment characteristics and implied volatilities.

            Discounted cash flow analysis is dependent upon estimated future cash flows and the impactlevel of income tax regulationsinterest rates. Expected cash flows are discounted using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and income tax rates relating toduration of the leases. Due toinvestment. Valuation models use as their basis independently-sourced market inputs including, for example, interest rate yield curves and foreign currency exchange rates. Our valuation process using models considers factors such as credit quality, product structure, third-party enhancements and guarantees. We apply judgment in the complexity and long-term nature of manyapplication of these leases, thesefactors. Other factors can affect our estimates of fair value, including market dislocations, incorrect model assumptions and unexpected correlations. These valuation methods could expose us to materially different results should the models used or underlying assumptions be inaccurate.

            We determine fair value for trading account assets primarily by using quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments in active markets for those securities. Fair value for investment



    securities available for sale is determined using quotations from independent third-party pricing services, which generally are reviewed regularlybased on observable market inputs for adjustmentsidentical or similar instruments in active and non-active markets for those securities. We value derivative instruments primarily by using valuation models. These models generally do not involve material subjectivity because the methodologies used do not necessitate significant judgment, and the pricing inputs are observed from actively quoted markets, for instance with over-the-counter interest-rate swap and option contracts, and foreign exchange forward and option contracts.

            Management reviews the fair value of the portfolio at least quarterly, and evaluates individual securities for declines in fair value that may be required, includingother than temporary. This review considers factors such as current and expected future interest rates, external credit ratings, dividend payments, the recognitionfinancial health of other-than-temporary impairment of residual values.


    Changes in these assumptions in future periods could affect asset balancesthe issuer and related interest revenue, as well as the amount of income tax expense. Certain of these assumptions could be affected by changes in tax positions establishedother pertinent information. Other pertinent information includes current developments with respect to the amountissuer, the length of time the cost basis has exceeded the fair value, the severity of the impairment measured as the ratio of fair value to amortized cost and management's intent and ability to hold the security.

            The review includes all investment securities for which we have issuer specific concerns regardless of quantitative factors. The review considers current economic conditions, adverse situations that might affect our ability to fully collect interest and principal, the timing of tax deductions taken with respect to certain lease transactions, which could be impacted byfuture payments, the enactmentcredit quality and performance of tax legislation or changes inunderlying collateral and guarantees and other relevant factors. If declines are deemed other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized and the interpretation of existing tax laws by U.S. and non-U.S. tax authorities. As we discussed in the “Income Taxes” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we recorded additional income tax expense of $81 million during 2006, as a resultamortized cost basis of the impact ofinvestment security is written down to its current fair value, which becomes the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act and changes in tax positions that we established with respect to certain of our leveraged lease transactions.new cost basis.

    Special Purpose Entities

            In the normal course of business, we utilize three types of special purpose entities, referred to as "SPEs," two of which are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements. Information about the activities of these SPEs, which are used in connection with our tax-exempt investment program, our involvement with managed investment vehicles and our asset-backed commercial paper program, is in notes 10 and 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8. Additional information about SPEs used in connection with our commercial paper program is provided below.

            In our role as a financial intermediary, we administer four third-party asset-backed commercial paper conduits, which are structured as bankruptcy-remote, limited liability companies, and which are not included in our consolidated financial statements. These conduits purchase a variety of financial assets from third-party financial institutions, and fund these purchases by issuing commercial paper. The financial assets purchased by the conduits are not originated by us, and we do not hold any equity ownership interest in the conduits. Additional information about the conduits and their business activities is in the "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis and in note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

            Our accounting for the conduits' activities, and our conclusion that we are not required to include each or all of the conduits' assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements, is based on our application of the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), which governs our accounting for the conduits and which is discussed in more detail in note 11. Expected losses, which we estimate using a financial model as described below, form the basis for our application of the provisions of FIN 46(R). Expected losses, as defined by FIN 46(R), are not economic losses. Instead, expected losses are calculated by comparing projected possible cash flows, which are probability-weighted, with expected cash flows for the risk(s) the entity was designed to create and distribute; they represent the variability



    in potential cash flows of the entity's designated risks. We believe that credit risk is the predominant risk that is designed to be created and distributed by these entities. There is also a modest amount of basis risk within each conduit. Basis risk arises when commercial paper funding costs move at a different rate than the comparable floating-rate asset benchmark rates (generally LIBOR). This risk is mitigated through the use of derivative instruments, principally basis swaps, which remove this variability from each conduit. Accordingly, basis risk is not a significant assumption in the financial model.

            Any credit losses of the conduits would be absorbed by (1) investors in the subordinated debt, commonly referred to as "first-loss notes," issued by the conduits; (2) State Street; and (3) the holders of the conduits' commercial paper, in order of priority. The investors in the first-loss notes, which are independent third parties, would absorb the first dollar of any credit loss on the conduits' assets. If credit losses exceeded the first-loss notes, we would absorb credit losses through our credit facilities provided to the conduits. The commercial paper holders would absorb credit losses after the first-loss notes and State Street's credit facilities have been exhausted. We have developed a financial model to estimate and allocate each conduit's expected losses. Our model has determined that, as of December 31, 2007, the amount of first-loss notes of each conduit held by the third-party investors causes them to absorb a majority of each conduit's expected losses, as defined by FIN 46(R), and, accordingly, the investors in the first-loss notes are considered to be the primary beneficiary of the conduits. The aggregate amount of first-loss notes issued by the conduits totaled approximately $32 million as of December 31, 2007.

            In order to estimate expected losses as required by FIN 46(R), we estimate possible defaults of the conduits' assets. These expected losses are allocated to the conduits' variable interest holders based on the order in which actual losses would be absorbed, as described above. We use the model to estimate expected losses based on hundreds of thousands of probability-weighted loss scenarios. These simulations incorporate published rating agency data to estimate expected losses due to credit risk. Primary assumptions incorporated into the financial model relative to credit risk variability, such as default probabilities and loss severities, are directly linked to the conduit's underlying assets. These default probabilities and loss severity assumptions vary by asset class and ratings of individual conduit assets. Accordingly, the model's calculation of expected losses is significantly affected by the credit ratings and asset mix of each conduit's assets. These statistics are reviewed by management regularly and more formally on an annual basis. If downgrades and asset mix change significantly, or if defaults occur on the conduits' underlying assets, we may conclude that the current level of first-loss notes is insufficient to absorb a majority of the conduits' expected losses.

            We perform stress tests and sensitivity analyses, with respect to each conduit individually, in order to model potential scenarios that could cause the amount of first-loss notes to be insufficient to absorb the majority of the conduits' expected losses. As part of these analyses, we have identified certain conduit assets that could be more susceptible to credit downgrade because of their underlying credit characteristics. Our scenario testing specifically addresses asset classes that have experienced significant price erosion and/or have little observed market activity. Examples of scenarios that are designed to measure the sensitivity of the sufficiency of the first-loss notes include performing a downgrade of all assets which have underlying monoline insurance provider support, and a downgrade scenario on certain other conduit securities where our analysis of the timing and amount of expected cash flows for selected security default expectations does not re-affirm the security's current external credit rating. These simulations do not include a scenario whereby all positions are simultaneously downgraded, the possibility of which we consider remote. In addition, a scenario could arise where one or more defaults could be so severe that the associated losses would exhaust the conduits' total first-loss notes currently outstanding.

            We believe that the current level of first-loss notes of approximately $32 million as of December 31, 2007 is sufficient to support default scenarios that we believe are more likely, including the stress tests previously described. However, in the future, if the determination and allocation of



    conduit expected losses by the financial model indicates that the current level of first-loss notes is insufficient to absorb a majority of the conduits' expected losses, we would be required to either (1) issue additional first-loss notes to third parties; (2) change the composition of conduit assets; or (3) take other actions in order to avoid being determined to be the primary beneficiary of the conduits. If we were unable to accomplish any of the above, we would be determined to be the primary beneficiary of the conduits, and would be required to consolidate the conduits' assets and liabilities. For illustrative purposes only, if consolidation of all four of the conduits had been required on December 31, 2007, we would have recognized an extraordinary after-tax loss of approximately $530 million in our consolidated statement of income. In addition, the consolidation of the conduit's assets would have had a direct impact on our leverage capital ratios. The illustrative impact of consolidation of the conduits and the assumptions underlying its calculation are discussed in the "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

            The conduits do not regularly trade their assets. That is, the design of the conduits is such that conduit assets are purchased with the intent to hold to them to their maturities. Accordingly, changes in the fair values of the conduits' assets do not impact the day-to-day management of the conduits. However, we closely monitor changes in fair values of the conduits' assets to ensure that the default assumptions in our financial model continue to be appropriate. As of December 31, 2007, total assets in the unconsolidated conduits were approximately $28.76 billion, and the pre-tax unrealized loss on those assets was approximately $850 million, or $530 million after-tax. We believe the fair values of the conduits' assets are impacted by a number of factors, including the lack of liquidity of mortgage- and asset-backed securities, supply and demand imbalance in the market, and a risk aversion premium being demanded by investors for certain asset types. We do not believe that the current fair values of some of the conduits' assets are necessarily indicative of a change in marketplace participants' view of the default probabilities for these assets.

    Goodwill

    Goodwill arisesis created when the purchase price exceeds the assigned value of net assets of acquired businesses, and represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible elements being acquired. Almost all of our goodwill has resulted from business acquisitions of our Investment Servicing line of business. Approximately 99%As a result, substantially all of the total goodwill recorded in our consolidated statement of condition was recorded by this business line, andwith the remaining 1% wasremainder recorded by Investment Management.

    The sustained value of the majority of this goodwill is supported ultimately by revenue from our investment servicing business. A decline in earnings as a result of a lack of growth, or our inability to deliver cost-effective services over sustained periods, could lead to a perceived impairment of goodwill, which would be evaluated and, if necessary, be recorded as a write-down of the reported amount of goodwill through a charge to earnings in our consolidated statement of income.

    On an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances dictate, management reviews goodwill and evaluates events or other developments that may indicate impairment in the carrying amount. We perform this evaluation at the reporting unit level, which is one level below our two major business lines. The evaluation methodology for potential impairment is inherently complex and involves significant management judgment in the use of estimates and assumptions.

    We evaluate impairment using a two-step process. First, we compare the aggregate fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment exists. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, then we compare the “implied”"implied" fair value of the reporting unit’sunit's goodwill with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, then goodwill impairment is recognized by writing the goodwill down to the implied fair value. The implied fair value of the goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, as if the unit had been acquired in a business combination and the overall fair value of the unit was the purchase price.


    To determine the aggregate fair value of the reporting unit being evaluated for goodwill impairment, we use one of two principal methodologies—external or independent valuation, using quoted market prices in active markets; or an analysis of comparable recent external sales or market data, such as multiples of earnings or similar performance measures. In limited circumstances, these methodologies are not available, and as such, we estimate future cash flows using present-value techniques.

    Events that may indicate goodwill impairment include significant or adverse changes in the business, economic or political climate; an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; unanticipated competition; and a more-likely-than-not expectation that we will sell or otherwise dispose of a business to which the goodwill relates. Our goodwill impairment testing for 20062007 indicated that none of our goodwill was impaired. Goodwill recorded in our consolidated statement of condition at December 31, 20062007 totaled approximately $1.4$4.57 billion.


    Additional information about goodwill, including information by line of business, is in Notenote 5 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”Statements included under Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

    Income Taxes

    Our overall tax position is fundamentally complex, and management judgment is involved in the analysis of income tax assets and liabilities. We are subject to the income tax laws of the U.S., its states and municipalities and those of the foreign jurisdictions in which State Street operates.we operate. These tax laws can be subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the taxing authorities.

    In establishing a provision for income tax expense, we must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws. Disputes over interpretations of the tax laws may be adjudicated by the court systems of the various tax jurisdictions or may be settled with the taxing authority upon examination or administrative appeal.

    Management’s        Management's determination of the likelihood that deferred tax assets can be realized is subjective and involves estimates and assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. The realization of deferred tax assets arises from carrybacks to prior taxable periods, future taxable income, including foreign sourceforeign-source income, and the achievement of tax planning strategies. Underlying estimates and assumptions can change over time, influencing our overall tax positions, as a result of unanticipated events or circumstances.

    Management continually monitors and evaluates the worldwide impact of tax legislation, decisions, rulings and other current developments on the estimates and assumptions underlying our calculations of current and deferred taxes and our analysis of the expected realization of deferred tax assets. Additional information about income taxes is in Notesnotes 10 and 20 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

    Pension Costs

    We maintain a tax-qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all domestic employees, as well as certain non-U.S. defined benefit plans. Measuring cost and reporting liabilities resulting from defined benefit pension plans requires the useStatements included under Item 8 of many assumptions, including estimates of future interest rates, asset returns, compensation increases and other actuarial-based projections relating to the plans. Pension-related estimates have a significant impact on the determination of pension obligations and related expense.

    We use December 31 as a measurement date for our pension asset and projected benefit obligation balances. Each year, we review actual demographic and investment experience with the plans’ actuaries. In addition to actual experience, adjustments to assumptions consider published interest-rate indices, known compensation trends and policies and economic conditions that may affect the estimated long-term rate of return on plan assets.

    The significant assumptions used to measure periodic benefit cost and pension obligations are described below.

    Size and Characteristics of the Employee Population

    Periodic benefit cost is directly related to the number of employees covered by the plans and other factors, including salary, age and years of employment.

    Actuarial Assumptions

    Actuarial assumptions used to estimate benefit obligations consider factors such as mortality rate, turnover rate, retirement rate, disability rate and the rate of compensation increases. These factors tend tothis Form 10-K.


    change gradually over time. The aggregate impact of assumptions is reviewed each year and specific assumptions are reviewed periodically.

    Expected Long-Term Rate of Return on Plan Assets

    We calculate the expected return on plan assets each year based on the composition of assets at the beginning of the plan year and the expected long-term rate of return on that portfolio. The expected long-term rate of return is designed to approximate the actual long-term rate of return on plan assets over time and is not expected to change significantly.

    To determine if the expected rate of return is reasonable, we consider such factors as (1) the actual return earned on plan assets, (2) historical rates of return on the various asset classes in the plan portfolio, (3) projections of returns on various asset classes, and (4) current/prospective capital market conditions and economic forecasts.

    If we were to assume a 25 basis point increase or decrease in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for all defined benefit pension plans and keep all other assumptions constant, benefit cost would increase or decrease by approximately $2 million.

    Discount Rate

    We use the discount rate to determine the present value of our future benefit obligations. It reflects the rates available on long-term, high-quality fixed-income debt instruments, reset annually on the measurement date. If we were to assume a 25 basis point increase or decrease in the discount rate for all defined benefit pension plans and keep all other assumptions constant, benefit cost would increase or decrease by approximately $5 million, and the projected benefit obligation would increase or decrease by approximately $37 million.

    Additional information about our pension plans and related benefit costs is in Note 17 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    Overview of Consolidated Statement of Condition

    The structure of our consolidated statement of condition, or balance sheet, is primarily driven by the liabilities generated by our core Investment Servicing and Investment Management businesses. As our customers execute their worldwide cash management and investment activities, they use short-term investments and deposits that constitute the majority of our liabilities. These liabilities are generally in the form of non-interest-bearing demand deposits; interest-bearing transaction account deposits, which are denominated in a variety of currencies; and repurchase agreements, which generally serve as short-term investment alternatives for our customers.

    Our customers’customers' needs and our operating objectives determine the volume, mix and currency denomination of our consolidated balance sheet. Deposits and other liabilities generated by customer activities are invested in assets that generally match the liquidity and interest-rate characteristics of the liabilities. As a result, our assets consist primarily of high-quality, marketable securities held in our available-for-sale or held-to-maturity investment securities portfolio and short-term money-market instruments, such as inter-bank placements,interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. The actual mix of assets is determined by the characteristics of the customer liabilities and our desire to maintain a well-diversified portfolio of high-quality assets. Managing our consolidated



    balance sheet structure is a disciplined process conducted within specific Board-approved policies for interest rateinterest-rate risk, credit risk and liquidity.


    For 2006,2007, the growth in average interest-bearing liabilities of $5.1$9.7 billion was primarily composed of a $6.5$12.6 billion increase in customer deposits, $7.5 billion of which were foreign, deposits offset by a decline in repurchase agreements of $1.5$4.8 billion. These changes are representative of the higher levels of customer activity outside the U.S. Average interest-earning assets in 20062007 increased $4.9$11.9 billion from 2005,2006, consistent with the increased level of customer liabilities. Additional information about our average balance sheet, primarily interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, is included in the "Consolidated Results of Operations—Net Interest Revenue" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

    During 2006, we substantially completed the investment portfolio restructuring begun in late 2004. The average investment portfolio increased $10.4 billion, offset in part by a decline in average interest-bearing deposits with banks of $7.6 billion. The composition of the investment portfolio continued to favor mortgage- and asset-backed securities because of their high credit quality, higher yields and highly liquid nature. The credit quality of the investment portfolio remained very strong at year-end 2006, with 88% of the securities rated “AAA” and 6% rated “AA.”

    We had $378 million$1.105 billion of net pre-tax unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities at December 31, 2006,2007, or $227$678 million after-tax. Net pre-tax unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities at December 31, 20052006 were $475$378 million, or $285$227 million after tax. Management considers the aggregate decline in fair value and the resulting net unrealized losses to be temporary and primarily the result of increases in interest rates, not the result of any material changes in the credit characteristics of the investment securities portfolio. Management has the ability and the intent to hold the securities until recovery in market value. We generally configure our investment securities portfolio so that any change in its fair value is largely, but not totally, offset by changes in the economic value of our customer liabilities; however, existing accounting standards do not allow for the change in economic value of our customer liabilities to offset unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

    We intend to continue managing our investment securities portfolio to align with interest-rate and duration characteristics of our customer liabilities and in the context of our overall balance sheet structure, which is maintained within internally approved risk limits, and in consideration of the global interest-rate environment. Even with material changes in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, we may not experience material changes in our interest-rate risk profile, or experience a material impact on our net interest revenue. Additional information about these and other unrealized losses is in Notesnotes 3 and 12 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    The increase in state and political subdivisions in the available-for-sale category compared to 2005 resulted from the consolidation onto our balance sheet of certain trusts utilized in connection with our tax-exempt investment programs. This consolidation is more fully discussed in Note 11 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Form 10-K under Item 8. The increase in collateralized mortgage obligations resulted from our previously discussed investment securities repositioning program.

    At December 31, 2006,2007, approximately 8%11% of our consolidated total assets consisted of loans and lease financing. The aggregate increase in loans from 20052006 reflected an increase in daily overdrafts, which result primarily from securities settlement advances related to customer investment activities.activities of our customers. Overdrafts included in loans were $5.69$11.65 billion and $3.41$5.69 billion at December 31, 20062007 and December 31, 2005,2006, respectively. Average



    overdrafts were approximately $5.21$7.53 billion and $3.24$5.21 billion for the years ended December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively. These balances do not represent significant credit risk because of their short-term nature, which is generally overnight, the lack of significant concentration, and their occurrence in the normal course of the cash and securities settlement process.

    As of December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, unearned income included in lease financing was $1.01$1.29 billion and $1.07$1.01 billion for non-U.S. leases, respectively, and $129$212 million and $125$129 million for U.S. leases, respectively. Information about our allowance for loan losses is included in the “Risk Management—Credit Risk” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

    Cross-Border Outstandings

    Cross-border outstandings, as defined by bank regulatory rules, are amounts payable to State Street by residents of foreign countries, regardless of the currency in which the claim is denominated, and local country claims in excess of local country obligations. These cross-border outstandings consist primarily of deposits with banks, loans and lease financing and investment securities.

    In addition to credit risk, cross-border outstandings have the risk that, as a result of political or economic conditions in a country, borrowers may be unable to meet their contractual repayment obligations of principal and/or interest when due because of the unavailability of, or restrictions on, foreign exchange needed by borrowers to repay their obligations. We manage our cross-border outstandings using internally-approved exposure limits.


    Cross-border outstandings to countries in which we do business which amounted to at least 1% of our consolidated total assets were as follows as of December 31:

    Capital

    Regulatory and economic capital management both use key metrics evaluated by management to ensure that our actual level of capital is commensurate with our risk profile, is in compliance with all regulatory requirements, and is sufficient to provide us with the financial flexibility to undertake future strategic business initiatives.

    Regulatory Capital

    Our objective with respect to regulatory capital management is to maintain a strong capital base in order to provide financial flexibility for our business needs, including funding corporate growth and supporting customers’customers' cash management needs, and to provide protection against loss to depositors and creditors. We strive to maintain an optimal level of capital, commensurate with our risk profile, on which


    an attractive return to shareholders will be realized over both the short and long term, while protecting our obligations to depositors and creditors and satisfying regulatory requirements. The Capital Committee, working in conjunction with the Asset and Liability Committee, or “ALCO,” oversees the management of regulatory capital, and is responsible for ensuring capital adequacy with respect to regulatory requirements, internal targets and the expectations of credit rating agencies. Our capital management process focuses on our risk exposures, our capital position relative to our peers, regulatory capital requirements and the evaluations of the major independent credit rating agencies that assign ratings to our public debt. The Capital Committee, working in conjunction with the Asset and Liability Committee, referred to as "ALCO," oversees the management of regulatory capital, and is responsible for ensuring capital adequacy with respect to regulatory requirements, internal targets and the expectations of the major independent credit rating agencies.

    The primary regulator of both State Street and State Street Bank for regulatory capital purposes is the Federal Reserve Board. Both State Street and theState Street Bank are subject to the minimum capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board and defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, or “FDICIA.” The1991. State Street Bank must meet the regulatory capital thresholds for “well capitalized”"well capitalized" in order for State Streetthe parent company to maintain its status as a financial holding company.

Growth in capital primarily from earnings.earnings and the issuance of our common stock to acquire Investors Financial were offset by the repurchase of our common stock under the accelerated share repurchase program and the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in connection with the Currenex and Investors Financial acquisitions. Total risk-weighted assets were flatincreased year over year, as growth in balance sheet risk-weighted assets, primarily investment securities available for salepartly from the Investors Financial acquisition, and loans, was offset by a decrease in off-balance sheet equivalent risk-weighted assets. The decrease resulted primarilyassets both grew from allowable changes in the calculation of exposure related to our securities finance activities. Bothyear-end 2006. All ratios for State Street and State Street Bank exceeded the regulatory minimum and well-capitalized thresholds.

    To manage fluctuations in the tier 1 and total risk-based capital of State Street and State Street Bank resulting from foreign currency translation, we have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge a portion of our net foreign investment in non-U.S. subsidiaries. The notional value of these contracts was 100€100 million, or approximately $132$146 million, at December 31, 2006.2007.

    In June 2004, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision released the final version of its capital adequacy framework, knowncommonly referred to as Basel II."Basel II". In 2006, the four U.S. banking regulatory agencies jointly issued their second draft of implementation rules, and are seekingwith industry comment provided by the end of March 2007. Additional supervisory guidance is expectedfrom the agencies was released late in February 2007; comments to be availablethe agencies were provided by the end of MarchMay 2007, and the releasefinal rules were released on December 7, 2007, with a stated effective date of the final implementation rules is expected prior to the end of 2007. Under the current implementation plan, State Street, along with other large internationally-active U.S. institutions, will be required to be fully implemented under the U.S. rules during 2010.April 1, 2008. State Street previously established a comprehensive implementation program to ensure these regulatory requirements are met within prescribed timeframes. At this time,We anticipate adopting the most advanced approaches for assessing capital adequacy.

            In March 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 15 million shares of common stock for general corporate purposes, including mitigating the dilutive impact of shares issued under employee benefit plans, in addition to its previous authorization in 2006 of up to 15 million shares, of which 12.2 million shares remained available for purchase at December 31, 2006. We generally employ third-party broker-dealers to acquire shares on the open market in connection with our stock purchase program.

            Under the above-described authorization, during 2007 we cannot predictrepurchased 13.4 million shares of our common stock, and an additional .6 million shares in January 2008, in connection with a $1 billion accelerated share repurchase program that concluded on January 18, 2008.

    We have increased our quarterly dividend twice each year since 1978. Over the last ten years, dividends per share have grown at a 15% compound annual growth rate. Funds for cash distributions to our shareholders by the parent company are derived from a variety of sources. The level of dividends



    to shareholders on our common stock, which totaled $265$320 million in 2006,2007, is reviewed regularly and determined by the Board of Directors considering our liquidity, capital adequacy and recent earnings history and prospects, as well as economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant. Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid by subsidiary banks to the parent holding company. In addition, bank regulators have the authority to prohibit bank holding companies from paying dividends if they deem such payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice. At December 31, 2006, the parent company had $10.13 billion of liquid assets with which to meet dividend declaration and other payment obligations. Information concerning limitations on dividends from our subsidiary banks is in Notenote 14 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    During the first quarter of 2006, we purchased 3 million shares of our common stock under a program authorized by our Board in 2005. On March 16, 2006, the Board authorized a new program for the purchase of up to 15 million shares of our common stock for general corporate purposes, including mitigating the dilutive impact of shares issued under employee benefit programs, and terminated the 2005 program. Under this new program, we purchased 2.8 million shares of our common stock during 2006, and as of December 31, 2006, 12.2 million shares were available for purchase. We utilize third-party broker-dealers to acquire common shares on the open market in our execution of the stock purchase program. Additional information about share purchases is in Note 12 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    Economic Capital

    We define economic capital as the common equity required to protect debt holders against unexpected economic losses over a one-year period at a level consistent with the solvency of a firm with our target “AA”"AA" debt rating. Our entire economic capital process is the responsibility of our Capital Committee. The framework and methodologies used to quantify economic capital for each of the risk types described below have been developed by our Enterprise Risk Management, Global Treasury and Finance groups, and are designed to be generally consistent with our risk management principles. This framework has been approved by senior management and has been reviewed by the Executive Committee of the Board. Due to the evolving nature of quantification techniques, we expect to periodically refine the methodologies used to estimate our economic capital requirements, which could result in a different amount of capital needed to support our risk profile.

    We quantify capital requirements for the risks inherent in our business activities and group them into one of the following broadly-defined categories:

    ·

      Market risk: the risk of adverse financial impact due to fluctuations in market prices, primarily as they relate to our trading activities

      ·

      Interest-rate risk: the risk of loss in non-trading asset and liability management positions, primarily the impact of adverse movements in interest rates on the repricing mismatches that exist between balance sheet assets and liabilities

      ·

      Credit risk: the risk of loss that may result from the default or downgrade of a borrower or counterparty

      ·

      Operational risk: the risk of loss from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events


      ·

      Business risk: the risk of adverse changes in our earnings from business factors, including changes in the competitive environment, changes in the operational economics of business activities, and the effect of strategic and reputation risks

    Economic capital for each of these five categories is estimated on a stand-alone basis using statistical modeling techniques applied to internally generated and, in some cases, external data. These individual results are then aggregated at the State Street consolidated level. A capital reduction or diversification benefit is then applied to reflect the unlikely event of experiencing an extremely large loss in each risk type at the same time.

    Liquidity

    The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that we have the ability to meet our financial obligations in a timely and cost-effective manner, and that we maintain sufficient flexibility to fund strategic corporate initiatives as they arise. Effective management of liquidity involves assessing the potential mismatch between the future cash needs of our customers and our available sources of cash under normal and adverse economic and business conditions. Uses of liquidity consist primarily of meeting deposit withdrawals andwithdrawals; funding outstanding commitments to extend credit or purchase securities



    as they are drawn upon.upon; overdraft facilities; and liquidity asset purchase agreements. Liquidity is provided by the maintenance of broad access to the global capital markets and our balance sheet asset structure, as described below.structure.

    Global Treasury is responsible for the day-to-day management of our global liquidity position, which is conducted within risk guidelines established and monitored by ALCO. Management maintains a liquidity measurement framework includingto assess the sources and uses of liquidity that is continuously monitored by Global Treasury and Enterprise Risk Management. Embedded in this framework is a contingency funding plan designed to manage through a potential liquidity crisis. The plan defines roles, responsibilities, and management actions to be undertaken in the event of deterioration in our liquidity profile caused by either a State Street-specific event or a broader disruption in the capital markets. The planprocess that outlines several levels of potential risk to our liquidity and identifies several “triggers”"triggers" that we use as early warning signals of a possible difficulty. These triggers are a combination of internal and external measures of potential increases in potential cash needs or decreases in available sources of cash sources and possible impairment of our ability to access the global capital markets. Another important component of the framework is a contingency funding plan that is designed to identify and manage through a potential liquidity crisis. The plan defines roles, responsibilities and management actions to be undertaken in the event of a deterioration in our liquidity profile caused by either a State Street-specific event or a broader disruption in the capital markets. Specific actions are linked to the levels of "triggers."

    We generally manage our liquidity risk on a global basis at the consolidated level, but welevel. We also manage parent company liquidity, and in certain cases branch liquidity, separately. State Street Bank generally has broader access to funding products and markets limited to banks, specifically the federal funds market and the Federal Reserve’sReserve's discount window. The parent company is managed to a more conservative liquidity profile, reflecting narrower market access. We typically hold enough cash, primarily in the form of interest-bearing deposits with subsidiary banks, to meet current debt maturities and cash needs, andas well as those projected over the next one-year period.

            Sources of liquidity come from two primary areas: access to the global capital markets and liquid assets maintained on our consolidated balance sheet. Our ability to source incremental funding at reasonable rates of interest from wholesale investors in the capital markets is the first source of liquidity we would tap to accommodate the uses of liquidity described below. On-balance sheet liquid assets are also an integral component of our liquidity management strategy. These assets provide liquidity through maturities of the assets, but more importantly, they provide us with the ability to raise funds by pledging the securities as collateral or through outright sales. Each of these sources is used in the management of daily cash needs and in a crisis scenario where we would need to accommodate potential large, unexpected demand for funds.

            Uses of liquidity result from four primary areas: withdrawals of unsecured customer deposits; draws on unfunded commitments to extend credit or purchase securities, generally provided through lines of credit; overdraft facilities; and liquidity asset purchase agreements supporting the four commercial paper conduits that we administer. Customer deposits are generated largely from our investment servicing activities, and are invested in a combination of term investment securities and short-term money market assets whose mix is determined by the characteristics of the deposits. Most of the customer liabilities are payable upon demand or are short-term in nature, which means that withdrawals can potentially occur quickly and in large amounts. Similarly, customers can request disbursement of funds under commitments to extend credit, or can overdraw deposit accounts rapidly and in large volumes.

    Material risks to the sources of short-term liquidity would include, among other things, external rating agency downgrades of our deposits and debt securities, below investment-grade level, which would restrict our ability to access the fundingcapital markets and may lead to withdrawals of unsecured deposits by our customers. In addition, a large volume of unanticipated funding requirements, such as fundings under liquidity asset purchase agreements that have met draw conditions, or large draw-downs of existing lines of credit, could require additional liquidity. During the summer of 2007, the disruption in the global fixed-income securities



    markets, which largely stemmed from sub-prime mortgages and securities collateralized by them and later spread to asset-backed securities in general, caused us to invoke some elements of our contingency funding plan, resulting in more active monitoring of our liquidity position and more frequent reporting to management. Of primary concern was our ability to replace maturing commercial paper issued by the conduits. As more fully discussed in the "Off-Balance Arrangements" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis, we have been able to reissue the paper, but with some difficulty and at higher rates of interest because of a significant decline in the demand for asset-backed commercial paper in the market generally. One action we have taken to improve our liquidity position has been the issuance of term wholesale certificates of deposit and the placement of those funds into short-term money market assets where they would be available to meet cash needs. This portfolio stood at $4.57 billion as of December 31, 2006, there were no circumstances2007. It is important to note that management considered reasonably likelywe did not experience any deterioration in our customer deposit base; it was stable to occur that would adversely impact our sources of short-term liquidity.growing during 2007.

    While maintenance of our high investment-grade credit rating is of primary importance to our liquidity management program, on-balance sheet liquid assets represent significant liquidity that we can directly control, and provide a source of cash in the form of principal maturities and the ability to borrow from the capital markets using our securities as collateral. Our liquid assets consist primarily of short-term money-market assets, such as federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits with banks, the latter of which are multicurrency instruments invested with major multinational banks; and high-quality,


    marketable investment securities not already pledged, which generally are more liquid than other types of assets and can be sold or borrowed against to quickly generate cash. As of December 31, 2006,2007, the cash value of our liquid assets, as defined, totaled $42$55.14 billion. Securities carried at $23.28$39.84 billion as of December 31, 20062007 were designated as pledged for public and trust deposits, borrowed funds and for other purposes as provided by law, and are excluded from the liquid assets calculation. Included in liquid assets are securities that have been pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston in order to secure our ability to borrow from the discount window should the need arise. This access to the discount window, including the Federal Reserve's recently announced term auction facility, is an important source of back-up liquidity for State Street Bank. As of December 31, 2007, we had no outstanding borrowings from the discount window.

    Based upon our level of liquid assets and our ability to access the capital markets for additional funding when necessary, management considers overall liquidity at December 31, 20062007 more than sufficient to meet State Street’sStreet's current commitments and business needs, including accommodating the transaction and cash management needs of its customers.

    Our        In April 2007, the parent company issued $700 million of senior debt, consisting of $250 million of floating-rate notes due in 2012 and $450 million of 5.375% notes due in 2017. In addition, State Street Capital Trust IV, a Delaware statutory trust wholly owned by the parent company, issued $800 million in aggregate liquidation amount of floating-rate capital securities and used the proceeds to purchase a like amount of floating-rate junior subordinated debentures from the parent company. The capital securities represent an undivided preferred beneficial interest in those junior subordinated debentures, which are the only assets of the trust. The junior subordinated debentures have an initial scheduled maturity in June 2037 and an initial final repayment date in June 2067, each of which we may extend by ten years in specified circumstances. In accordance with existing accounting standards, we did not record the trust in our consolidated financial statements. The junior subordinated debentures qualify for inclusion in tier 1 regulatory capital.

            In connection with the issuance of the junior subordinated debentures, the parent company entered into a replacement capital covenant in which it agreed, for the benefit of the holders of its junior subordinated debentures due 2028 underlying the floating-rate capital securities issued by State Street Capital Trust I, that it will not repay, redeem or repurchase, and that none of its subsidiaries will purchase, any part of the newly issued debentures or the floating-rate capital securities on or before June 1, 2047, unless the repayment, redemption or repurchase is made from the net cash proceeds of



    the issuance of certain qualified securities and pursuant to the other terms and conditions set forth in the covenant.

            In July 2007, we redeemed an aggregate of $500 million of unsecured junior subordinated debentures issued by the parent company to two of our statutory business trusts, State Street Capital Trusts A and B, composed of $200 million of 7.94% debentures issued in 1996 and $300 million of 8.035% debentures issued in 1997. We paid the trusts the outstanding amount on the debentures plus accrued interest and an aggregate redemption premium of approximately $20 million. This redemption premium was included in the merger and integration costs which we recorded during the third quarter of 2007 in connection with the Investors Financial acquisition. Additional information about these costs is in the "Consolidated Results of Operations—Operating Expenses" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

            In July 2007, the trusts, consistent with the terms of their applicable governing documents, redeemed their respective outstanding capital securities, with an aggregate liquidation amount of $500 million, corresponding to the debentures. The trusts paid to the holders of the outstanding capital securities the same amount that was paid by the parent company to the trusts to redeem the debentures.

            In January 2008, State Street Capital Trust III, a Delaware statutory trust wholly owned by the parent company, issued $500 million in aggregate liquidation amount of 8.250% fixed-to-floating rate normal automatic preferred enhanced capital securities, referred to as "normal APEX," and used the proceeds to purchase a like amount of remarketable 6.001% junior subordinated debentures due 2042 from the parent company. In addition, the trust entered into stock purchase contracts with the parent company under which the trust agrees to purchase, and the parent company agrees to sell, on the stock purchase date, a like amount in aggregate liquidation amount of the parent company's non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, series A, $100,000 liquidation preference per share. State Street will make contract payments to the trust at an annual rate of 2.249% of the stated amount of $100,000 per stock purchase contract. The normal APEX are beneficial interests in the trust. The trust will pass through, as distributions on or the redemption price of normal APEX, amounts that it receives on its assets that are the corresponding assets for the normal APEX. The corresponding assets for each normal APEX, $1,000 liquidation amount, initially are $1,000 principal amount of the 6.001% junior subordinated debentures and a 1/100th, or a $1,000, interest in a stock purchase contract for the purchase and sale of one share of the Series A preferred stock for $100,000. The stock purchase date is expected to be March 15, 2011, but it may occur on an earlier date or as late as March 15, 2012. From and after the stock purchase date, the corresponding asset for each normal APEX will be a 1/100th, or a $1,000, interest in one share of the Series A preferred stock. In accordance with existing accounting standards, we did not record the trust in our consolidated financial statements. The 6.001% junior debentures qualify for inclusion in tier 1 regulatory capital.

            As stated previously, our ability to maintain consistent access to liquidity is fostered by the maintenance of high investment-grade ratings on our debt, as measured by the major independent credit rating agencies. Factors essential to retaining high credit ratings include diverse and stable core earnings; strong risk management; strong capital ratios; diverse liquidity sources, including the global fundscapital markets and customer deposits; and strong liquidity monitoring procedures. High ratings on debt minimize borrowing costs and enhance our liquidity by ensuring the largest possible market for our debt. A downgrade or reduction inof these credit ratings could have an adverse impact to our ability to access funding at favorable interest rates. There were no Following our January 3, 2008 announcement of a net charge to establish a reserve associated with certain active fixed-income strategies managed by SSgA, the major national rating agencies affirmed their ratings for State Street and State Street Bank. However, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch changed their outlook from stable to negative. These



    changes have not had a material impact on our liquidity position or on our ability to our ratings in 2006.

    access the global capital markets at reasonable rates of interest.

    Risk Management

    The global scope of our business activities requires that we balance what we perceive to be the primary risks in our businesses with a comprehensive and well-integrated risk management function. The measurement, monitoring and mitigation of risks are essential to the financial performance and successful management of State Street’sour businesses. These risks, if not effectively managed, can result in current losses to State Street as well as erosion of our capital and damage to our reputation. Our systematic approach also allows for a more precise assessment of risks within a framework for evaluating opportunities for the prudent use of capital.

    We have a disciplined approach to risk management that involves all levels of management. The Board of Directors provides extensive review and oversight of State Street’sour overall risk management programs, including the approval of key risk management policies and the periodic review of State Street’sStreet's key risk indicators. These indicators are designed to identify major business activities of State Street with significant risk content, and to establish quantifiable thresholds for risk measurement. Key risk indicators are reported regularly to the Executive Committee of the Board, and are reviewed periodically for appropriateness. Modifications to the indicators are made to reflect changes in our business activities or refinements to existing measurements. Enterprise Risk Management, or “ERM,”ERM, a dedicated corporate group, provides oversight, support and coordination across business units and is responsible for the


    formulation and maintenance of enterprise-wide risk management policies and guidelines. In addition, ERM establishes and reviews approved limits, and with the support of business line management, monitors key risks. The head of ERM meets regularly with the Board or a Board committee, as appropriate, and has the authority to escalate issues as necessary.

    The execution of duties in the management of people, products, business operations and processes is the responsibility of business unit managers. The function of risk management is responsible for designing, orchestrating and directing the implementation of risk management programs and processes consistent with corporate and regulatory standards. Accordingly, risk management is a shared responsibility between ERM and the business lines and requires joint efforts in goal setting, program design and implementation, resource management, and performance evaluation between business and functional units.

    Responsibility for risk management is overseen by a series of management committees. The Major Risk Committee, or “MRC,”MRC, is responsible for the formulation and recommendation of policies, and the approval of policies, guidelines and programs governing the identification, analysis, measurement and control of material risks across State Street. Chaired by the head of ERM, the MRC focuses on the review of



    business activities with significant risk content and the assessment of risk management programs and initiatives, and also serves as the credit policy committee for State Street.initiatives. The Capital Committee, chaired by the Chief Financial Officer, oversees the management of our regulatory and economic capital, the determination of the framework for capital allocation and strategies for capital structure and debt and equity issuances. ALCO, chaired by the Treasurer, oversees the management of our consolidated balance sheet, including management of our global liquidity and interest-rate risk positions. The Fiduciary Review Committee reviews the criteria for the acceptance of fiduciary duties, and assists our business lines with their fiduciary responsibilities executed on behalf of customers. The Credit Committee, chaired within ERM, acts as the credit policy committee for State Street. The Operational Risk Committee, chaired within ERM, provides cross-business oversight of operational risk to identify, measure, manage and control operational risk in an effective and consistent manner across State Street. The Model Assessment Committee, chaired within ERM, provides unbiased recommendations concerning technical modeling issues and independently validates qualifying financial models utilized by our businesses. Several other committees with specialized risk management functions report to the MRC.

    Corporate Audit serves in a complementary role to our program of risk management, providing the Board and management with continuous monitoring and control assessments to ensure adherence to State Street’sStreet's policies and procedures and the effectiveness of its system of internal controls. The group also has responsibility for the independent validation of financial models utilized in our businesses. Additionally, the internal control environment is evaluated through external examinations and regulatory compliance efforts. The Corporate Compliance, Regulatory and Industry Affairs, and Legal groups also serve essential roles in risk management. Corporate Compliance is responsible for the design, implementation and oversight of policies, guidelines and programs to ensure our compliance with applicable laws and regulations wherever State Street conductswe conduct business. The Regulatory and Industry Affairs group monitors proposed changes in rules and legislation, and the Legal group provides counsel that enables us to deal with complex legal and regulatory environments, maximize business opportunities and minimize legal, regulatory and other risks.

    While we believe that our risk management program is effective in managing the risks in our businesses, external factors may create risks that cannot always be identified or anticipated. For example, a material counterparty failure or a default of a material obligor could have ana material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations.

    Market Risk

    Market risk is defined as the risk of adverse financial impact due to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and other market-driven rates or prices. State Street isWe are exposed to market risk both in itsour trading and non-trading, or asset and liability management, activities. State Street manages itsWe manage our overall market risk through a comprehensive risk management framework. This framework includes risk management groups that report independently to senior management through ERM. The process of


    managing market risk for these activities, discussed in further detail below, applies to both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposures.

    Trading Activities

    We primarily engage in trading and investment activities to serve our customers’customers' needs and to contribute to overall corporate earnings and liquidity. In the conduct of these activities, we are subject to, and assume, market risk. The level of market risk that we assume is a function of our overall objectives and liquidity needs, customer requirements and market volatility. Interest-rate risk, a component of market risk, is more thoroughly discussed in the “Asset"Asset and Liability Management”Management" portion of this “Market Risk”"Market Risk" section.

    Market risk associated with foreign exchange and trading activities is controlled through established limits on aggregate and net open positions, sensitivity to changes in interest rates, and



    concentrations, which are supplemented by stop-loss limits.thresholds. We use an array of risk management tools and methodologies, including value-at-risk, to measure, monitor and control market risk. All limits and measurement techniques are reviewed and adjusted as necessary on a regular basis by business managers, the market risk management group and the Trading and Market Risk Committee.

    We use a variety of derivative financial instruments to support customers’customers' needs, conduct trading activities and manage our interest-rate and currency risk. These activities are designed to create trading revenue or to hedge volatility in net interest revenue. In addition, we provide services related to derivative financial instruments in our role as both a manager and servicer of financial assets.

    Our customers use derivative financial instruments to manage the financial risks associated with their investment goals and business activities. With the growth of cross-border investing, customers have an increasing need for foreign exchange forward contracts to convert currency for international investment and to manage the currency risk in international investment portfolios. As an active participant in the foreign exchange markets, we provide foreign exchange forward contracts and options in support of these customer needs.

    As part of our trading activities, we assume positions in the foreign exchange and interest-rate markets by buying and selling cash instruments and using derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign exchange and interest-rate options and interest-rate swaps. As of December 31, 2006,2007, the notional amounts of all of these derivative financial instruments were $514.04$796.19 billion, of which $492.06$732.01 billion were foreign exchange forward contracts. In the aggregate, long and short foreign exchange forward positions are closely matched to minimize currency and interest-rate risk. All foreign exchange contracts are valued daily at current market rates.

    We use a variety of risk measurement and estimation techniques, including value-at-risk. Value-at-risk is an estimate of potential loss for a given period within a stated statistical confidence interval. We use a system of risk management to estimate value-at-risk daily for all material trading positions. We have adopted standards for estimating value-at-risk, and we maintain capital for market risk in accordance with applicable regulatory guidelines. Value-at-risk is estimated for a 99% one-tail confidence interval and an assumed one-day holding period using a historical observation period of greater than one year. A 99% one-tail confidence interval implies that daily trading losses should not exceed the estimated value-at-risk more than 1% of the time, or approximately three days out of the year. The methodology uses a simulation approach based on observed changes in market prices and takes into account the resulting diversification benefits provided from the mix of our trading positions.

    Like all quantitative risk measures, value-at-risk is subject to certain limitations and assumptions inherent in the methodology. Our methodology gives equal weight to all market-rate observations regardless of how recently the market rates were observed. The estimate is calculated using static


    portfolios consisting of positions held at the end of the trading day. Implicit in the estimate is the assumption that no intraday action is taken by management during adverse market movements. As a result, the methodology does not represent risk associated with intraday changes in positions or intraday price volatility.


    The following table presents our market risk forrelated to our trading activities as measured by our value-at-risk methodology:

    We compare daily profits and losses from trading activities to estimated one-day value-at-risk. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 2005 and 2004,2005, we did not experience any trading losses in excess of our end-of-day value-at-risk estimate.

    Asset and Liability Management Activities:Activities

    The primary objective of asset and liability management is to provide sustainable and growing net interest revenue, or “NIR,”"NIR," under varying economic environments, while protecting the economic values of our balance sheet assets and liabilities from the adverse effects of changes in interest rates. Most of our NIR is earned from the investment of deposits generated by our core Investment Servicing and Investment Management businesses. We structure our balance sheet assets to generally conform to the characteristics of our balance sheet liabilities, but we manage our overall interest-rate risk position in the context of current and anticipated market conditions and within internally approved risk guidelines.

    Our overall interest-rate risk position is maintained within a series of policies approved by the Board and guidelines established and monitored by ALCO. Our Global Treasury unit has responsibility for managing State Street’sStreet's day-to-day interest-rate risk. To effectively manage the consolidated balance sheet and related net interest revenue,NIR, Global Treasury has the authority to take a limited amount of interest-rate risk based on market conditions and its views about the direction of global interest rates over both short-term and long-term time horizons. Global Treasury manages our exposure to changes in interest rates on a consolidated basis, and they have organized themselves into three regional treasury units, North America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific, to reflect the growing, global nature of our exposures and to capture the impact of change in regional market environments on our total risk position.

    Our investment activities and our use of derivative financial instruments are the primary tools used in managing interest-rate risk. We invest in financial instruments with currency, repricing, and maturity characteristics we consider appropriate to manage our overall interest-rate risk position. In addition to on-balance sheet assets, we use certain derivatives, primarily interest-rate swaps, to alter the interest-rate characteristics of specific balance sheet assets or liabilities. The use of derivatives is subject to ALCO-approved guidelines. Additional information about our use of derivatives is in Notenote 15 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    As a result of growth in our non-U.S. operations, non-U.S. dollar denominated customer liabilities are a significant portion of our consolidated balance sheet. This growth results in exposure to changes in the shape and level of non-U.S. dollar yield curves, which we include in our consolidated interest-rate risk management process.


    Because no one individual measure can accurately assess all of our risks to changes in rates, we use several quantitative measures in our assessment of current and potential future exposures to changes in interest rates and their impact on net interest revenue and balance sheet values.Net interest revenue simulation is the primary tool used in our evaluation of the potential range of possible net interest revenue results that could occur under a variety of interest-rate environments. We also use



    market valuation andduration analysis to assess changes in the economic value of balance sheet assets and liabilities caused by assumed changes in interest rates. Finally,gap analysis—the difference between the amount of balance sheet assets and liabilities re-pricing within a specified time period—is used as a measurement of our interest-rate risk position.

    To measure, monitor, and report on our interest-rate risk position, we use (1) NIR simulation, or “NIR-at-risk,”"NIR-at-risk," which measures the impact on NIR over the next twelve months to immediate, or “rate"rate shock," and gradual, or “rate"rate ramp," changes in market interest rates; and (2) economic value of equity, or “EVE,”"EVE," which measures the impact on the present value of all NIR-related principal and interest cash flows of an immediate change in interest rates. NIR-at-risk is designed to measure the potential impact of changes in market interest rates on net interest revenueNIR in the short term. EVE, on the other hand, is a long-term view of interest-rate risk, but with a view toward liquidation of State Street. Both of these measures are subject to ALCO-established guidelines, and are monitored regularly, along with other relevant simulations, scenario analyses and stress tests by both Global Treasury and ALCO.

    In calculating our NIR-at-risk, we start with a base amount of net interest revenueNIR that is projected over the next twelve months, assuming that the then-current yield curve remains unchanged over the period. Our existing balance sheet assets and liabilities are adjusted by the amount and timing of transactions that are forecasted to occur over the next twelve months. That yield curve is then “shocked,”"shocked," or moved immediately, ±100 basis points in a parallel fashion, or at all points along the yield curve. Two new twelve-month NIR projections are then developed using the same balance sheet and forecasted transactions, but with the new yield curves, and compared to the base scenario. We also perform the calculations using interest rate ramps, which are ±100 basis point changes in interest rates that are assumed to occur gradually over the next twelve-month period, rather than immediately as we do with interest-rate shocks.

    EVE is based on the change in the present value of all NIR-related principal and interest cash flows for changes in market rates of interest. The present value of existing cash flows with a then-current yield curve serves as the base case. We then apply an immediate parallel shock to that yield curve of ±200 basis points and recalculate the cash flows and related present values. A large shock is used to better capture the embedded option risk in our mortgage-backed securities that results from the borrower’sborrower's prepayment opportunity.

    Key assumptions used in the models described above include the timing of cash flows; the maturity and repricing of balance sheet assets and liabilities, especially option-embedded financial instruments like mortgage-backed securities; changes in market conditions; and interest-rate sensitivities of our customer liabilities with respect to the interest rates paid and the level of balances. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the models cannot precisely calculate future NIR or predict the impact of changes in interest rates on NIR and economic value. Actual results could differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of changes in interest rates and market conditions, changes in spreads and management strategies, among other factors. Projections of potential future streams of NIR are assessed as part of our forecasting process.

    The following table presents the estimated exposure of NIR for the next twelve months, calculated as of December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, due to an immediate ± 100 basis point shift in then-current interest rates. Estimated incremental exposures presented below are dependent on management’smanagement's assumptions about asset and liability sensitivities under various interest-rate scenarios, such as those previously discussed, and


    do not reflect any actions management may undertake in order to mitigate some of the adverse effects of interest-rate changes on State Street’sStreet's financial performance.

            With respect to the December 31, 2007 information presented in the tables above, the balance sheet of Investors Financial is reflected in the estimated NIR-at-risk and the estimated EVE exposure. Information for prior periods was not restated. The incremental increases in the levels of NIR-at-risk and EVE exposure to upward shifts in interest rates are largely attributable to increased purchases of fixed-rate securities in the first quarter of 2007, slower projected prepayment speeds for mortgage-backed securities effective in the fourth quarter of 2007, and the contribution of the acquired Investors Financial business during the third quarter of 2007. While the dollar amount of NIR-at-risk increased, its rate of increase was lower than the reported growth rate for NIR.

    While the measures presented in the tables above are not a prediction of future NIR or valuations, they do suggest that if all other variables remained constant, in the short term, falling interest rates would lead to NIR that is higher than it would otherwise have been, and rising rates would lead to lower NIR. Other important factors that impact the levels of NIR are balance sheet size and mix; interest-rate spreads; the slope and interest-rate level of U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar yield curves and the relationship between them; the pace of change in market interest rates; and management actions taken in response to the preceding conditions. Incremental increases in the levels of NIR-at-risk and EVE exposures for upward shifts in interest rates presented in the tables above are largely the result of the increased purchases of fixed-rate securities, primarily securities available for sale, in response to management’s expectations concerning the future direction of U.S. interest rates. These purchases resulted in an overall interest-rate risk position that was well within internally approved guidelines. The securities were purchased in accordance with management’s intention to maintain the high credit quality of our investment portfolio.

    One of the most significantimportant assumptions underlyingin our modeling methodologies and the levelmanagement of our NIRinterest rate risk is the reactionresponse of our balance sheetcustomer liabilities such as deposits, to movementschanges in market interest rates. Generally,As such, we invest customer deposits in money-market assets and high-quality investment securities, the mix of which is determined by the interest-rate and balance sensitivities of customer deposits under a variety of economic environments. We regularly assessreassess the characteristics of customer liabilities by product, geography, currencyliabilities. Our most recent assessment was completed during the second quarter of 2007 and customer type to ensure that the characteristics have not materially changedresulted in a way that would create materialsmall lengthening in the estimated duration of customer liabilities. The impact of this longer estimated duration for customer liabilities reduced both NIR-at-risk and EVE exposure to increases in market interest rates, partially mitigating the factors responsible for higher interest-rate risk to our NIR and net interest margin.detailed above.

    Credit Risk

    Credit and counterparty risk is defined as the risk of financial loss if a borrower or counterparty is either unable or unwilling to repay borrowings or settle in accordance with contractual terms. The extension of credit and acceptance of counterparty risk by State Street are governed by corporate



    guidelines based on the prospective customer’scustomer's risk profile, the markets served, counterparty and country concentrations, and regulatory compliance. Our focus on large institutional investors and their businesses requires that we assume concentrated credit risk in a variety of forms to certain highly-rated entities. This concentration risk is mitigated by comprehensive guidelines and procedures to monitor and manage all aspects of credit and counterparty risk that we undertake. Exposures are evaluated on an individual basis at least annually.

    We provide, on a limited basis, traditional loan products and services to key customers and prospects in a manner that enhances customer relationships, increases profitability and minimizes risk. We employ a relationship model in which credit decisions are based upon credit quality and the overall institutional relationship. This model is typical of financial institutions that provide credit to institutional customers in the markets that we serve.

    An allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb probable credit losses in the loan portfolio and is reviewed regularly by management for adequacy. An internal rating system is used to assess potential risk of loss based on customer investment profile, current economic and/or customer financial indicators. The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings to maintain the overall allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate relative to the level of credit risk in the loan and lease financing portfolio. No provision was recorded in either 2007, 2006 or 2005. In 2004, we reversed $18 million through the provision as a result of reduced credit risk exposures and improved credit quality.


    At December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, the allowance for loan losses was $18 million, less than 1% of total loans as of each year-end.million. Changes in the allowance for loan losses were as follows for the years ended December 31:

    (1)          In 2002, we completed the sale of our Global Trade Banking business, which included the transfer of $1 million of the allowance for loan losses.

    (2)

    In 2004, we reclassified $25 million of the allowance for loan losses to other liabilities as a reserve for off-balance sheet commitments. Subsequent to the reclassification, the reserve for off-balance sheet commitments was reduced by $10 million, and recorded as an offset to other operating expenses.

    We also reversed $18 million through the provision for loan losses as a result of reduced credit risk exposures and improved credit quality.

    Past-due loans are loans on which principal or interest payments are over 90 days delinquent, but where interest continues to be accrued. There were no past-due loans as of December 31, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 2003 and 2002.2003.

    We generally place loans on non-accrual status once payments are 60 days past due, or earlier if management determines that full collection is not probable. Loans 60 days past due, but considered both well-secured and in the process of collection, may be excluded from non-accrual status. For loans



    placed on non-accrual status, revenue recognition is suspended. There were no non-accrual loans at year-end 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 2003 and 2002.2003.

    We purchase securities under agreements to resell. Risk is minimized by establishing the acceptability of counterparties; limiting purchases almost exclusively to low-risk U.S. government securities; taking possession or control of transaction assets; monitoring levels of underlying collateral; and limiting the duration of the agreements. Securities are revalued daily to determine if additional collateral is necessary from the borrower. Most repurchase agreements are short-term, with maturities of less than 90 days.

    We also provide customers with off-balance sheet liquidity and credit enhancement facilities in the form of letters of credit, lines of credit and liquidity asset purchase agreements. These exposures are subject to an initial credit analysis, with detailed approval and review processes. These facilities are also actively monitored and reviewed on an annual basis. We maintain a separate reserve for probable credit losses related to certain of these off-balance sheet activities. Management reviews the adequacy of this reserve on a regular basis.

    On behalf of our customers, we lend their securities to creditworthy banks, broker/dealers and other institutions. In most circumstances, we indemnify our customers for the fair market value of those


    securities against a failure of the borrower to return such securities. Though these transactions are well-collateralized, the substantial volume of these activities necessitates thorough credit-based underwriting and monitoring processes. State Street requires the borrowers to provide collateral in an amount equal to or in excess of 100% of the fair market value of the securities borrowed. Collateral funds received in connection with our securities lending services are held by us as agent and are not recorded in our consolidated statement of condition. The borrowed securities and collateral are revalued daily to determine if additional collateral is necessary. State Street held, as agent, cash and securities totaling $527.37$572.93 billion and $387.22$527.37 billion as collateral for indemnified securities financing at December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively.

    Processes for credit approval and monitoring are in place for other credit extensions. As part of the approval and renewal process, appropriate due diligence is conducted based on the size and term of the exposure, as well as the quality of the counterparty. Exposures to these entities are aggregated and evaluated by ERM.

    Investments in debt and equity securities, including investments in affiliates, are monitored regularly by Corporate Finance and ERM. To the extent necessary, procedures are in place for evaluating potentially impaired securities.securities, as discussed in notes 1 and 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8. Total non-performing investment securities were $3 million and $4 million at both December 31, 2007 and 2006, and 2005.respectively.

    Operational Risk

    We define operational risk as the potential for loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, andor from external events. As a leading provider of services to institutional investors, our customers have a broad array of complex and specialized servicing, confidentiality and fiduciary requirements. Active management of operational risk is an integral component of all aspects of our business, and responsibility for the management of operational risk lies with every individual at State Street. Our Operational Risk Policy Statement defines operational risk and details roles and responsibilities for managing operational risk. The Policy Statement is reinforced by the Operational Risk Guidelines, which codify our approach to operational risk. The Guidelines document our sound practices and provide a mandate within which programs, processes, and regulatory elements are implemented to ensure that operational risk is identified, measured, managed and controlled in an effective and consistent manner across State Street.


    We maintain an operational risk governance structure to ensure that responsibilities are clearly defined and to provide independent oversight of operational risk management. Business units periodically review the status of the business controls and monitor and report key risk indicator results. ERM oversees the overall operational risk management program. The MRC and the Operational Risk Committee review key risk indicators and policies related to operational risk, provide oversight to ensure compliance with the operational risk program, and escalate operational risk issues of note to the Executive Committee of the Board. Corporate Audit performs independent reviews of the application of operational risk management practices and methodologies and reports to the Examining and Audit Committee of the Board.

    State Street’sStreet's internal control environment is designed to provide a sound operational environment. Our discipline in managing operational risk provides the structure to identify, evaluate, control, monitor, measure, mitigate and report operational risk.

    Business Risk

    We define business risk as the risk of adverse changes in our earnings related to business factors, including changes in the competitive environment, changes in the operational economics of business activities and the potential effect of strategic and reputation risks, not already captured as market, interest-rate, credit or operational risks. We incorporate business risk into our assessment of our economic capital needs. Active


    management of business risk is an integral component of all aspects of our business, and responsibility for the management of business risk lies with every individual at State Street.

    It is sometimes difficult to separate the effects of a potential material adverse event into operational and business risks. For instance, the direct financial impact of an unfavorable event in the form of fines or penalties would be classified as an operational risk loss, while the impact on our reputation and the potential loss of customers and corresponding decline in revenue would be classified as a business risk loss. An additional example of business risk is the integration of a major acquisition. Failure to successfully integrate the operations of an acquired business, and the resultant inability to retain customers, would be classified as a business risk loss.

    Business risk is managed with a long-term focus. Techniques include the careful development of business plans and appropriate management oversight. The potential impact of the various elements of business risk is difficult to quantify with any degree of precision. We use a combination of historical earnings volatility, scenario analysis, stress-testing and management judgment to help assess the potential effect on State Street attributable to business risk. Management and control of business risks are generally the responsibility of the business units as part of their overall and strategic planning and internal risk management processes.

    OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

    In the normal course of business, we hold assets under custody and assets under management in a custodial or fiduciary capacity for our customers, and, in accordance with GAAP, we do not record these assets in our consolidated statement of condition. Similarly, collateral funds resulting fromassociated with our securities finance activities are held by us as agent; therefore, we do not record these assets in our consolidated statement of condition. Additional information about these and other off-balance sheet activities is in Notenote 10 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

    In the normal course of business, we sellutilize derivative financial instruments to support our customers' needs, to conduct trading activities and distribute securities forto manage our interest-rate and foreign currency risk. Additional information about our use of derivatives is in note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.


            In the normal course of business, we utilize three types of off-balance sheetspecial purpose entities, referred to as SPEs, two of which are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements. Additional informationInformation about the activities of these special purpose entitiesSPEs, which are used in connection with our tax-exempt investment program, our involvement with managed investment vehicles and our asset-backed commercial paper conduits, is in Notesnotes 10 and 11 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8. Additional information about the commercial paper conduits is provided below.

    The risks associated with providing administration, liquidity, and/or credit enhancements to these special purpose entities are reviewed as part of our corporate risk management process in a manner that is consistent with applicable policies and guidelines. We believe that State Street haswe have sufficient liquidity and hashave provided adequate credit reserves to cover any risks associated with these activities.

    Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs

            As further described in note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8, we administer four third-party-owned, special-purpose, multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper programs, commonly referred to as "conduits," the first of which was established in 1992. These conduits, which are structured as bankruptcy-remote entities and are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements under existing accounting standards, are designed to satisfy the demand of our institutional customers, particularly mutual fund customers, for commercial paper.

            Total assets in the four unconsolidated conduits were approximately $28.76 billion at December 31, 2007 and $25.25 billion at December 31, 2006. The conduits obtain funding through the issuance of commercial paper and hold diversified portfolios of investments, which are predominately composed of securities purchased in the capital markets. These investments are collateralized by mortgages, student loans, automobile and equipment loans and credit card receivables, most of which securities are investment grade. Conduit assets are not sourced from our consolidated balance sheet.

            The following tables provide additional information regarding the composition of the conduits' asset portfolios, in the aggregate, as of December 31, 2007. As of this date, none of the conduits' portfolio securities were predominantly collateralized by sub-prime real estate mortgages.

              Since the conduits were first organized beginning in 1992, we have entered into contractual obligations in the form of liquidity asset purchase agreements to support most or all of the liquidity of the conduits. We also provide credit enhancement to the conduits in the form of standby letters of credit. Other institutions can and do provide contractual liquidity to the conduits. As provided for in these agreements, we provide back-up liquidity in the event that the conduits cannot meet their funding needs through the issuance of commercial paper. In the event that maturing commercial paper cannot be reissued into the market by the conduits' dealer group, we and the other institutions providing liquidity may be required to provide liquidity by purchasing portfolio assets from the conduits. State Street may also provide liquidity by purchasing commercial paper or providing other extensions of credit to the conduits. As of December 31, 2007, State Streets' commitments under these liquidity asset purchase agreements and back-up lines of credit totaled approximately $28.37 billion, and our commitments under standby letters of credit totaled $1.04 billion.

              The conduits generally sell commercial paper to third-party investors; however, we sometimes purchase commercial paper from the conduits. At December 31, 2007, we held on our consolidated balance sheet an aggregate of approximately $2 million of commercial paper issued by the conduits. The highest total overnight position in the conduits' commercial paper held by State Street was approximately $1.25 billion during 2007. This was higher than the levels of commercial paper we have historically held, and was reflective of both the reduced liquidity in the asset-backed commercial paper markets during the third and fourth quarters and our desire to provide short-term stability to funding costs given the lack of liquidity in the marketplace. There were no draw-downs on the liquidity asset purchase agreements or standby letters of credit during 2007.


              As the third quarter of 2007 progressed and investors became increasingly concerned about the credit quality of the underlying assets generally held in asset-backed commercial paper conduits and similar vehicles, the resulting reduction in liquidity in the global fixed-income securities markets made the funding of the State Street-administered conduits more challenging than in normal coursemarket conditions, and the yields that issuers had to pay on asset-backed commercial paper increased. Consistent with the experience of business, we utilize derivative financial instrumentsother market participants, commercial paper was generally being placed by the State Street-administered conduits with shorter maturities and higher investor yields than historically experienced. This compressed the spread between the rate earned on the conduits' assets and the conduits' funding costs. The weighted-average maturity of the conduits' commercial paper was approximately 20 days as of December 31, 2007, compared to support our customers’ needs,approximately 23 days as of December 31, 2006. However, the conduits continue to conduct trading activities androll over the commercial paper as it matures, i.e., place the commercial paper with market participants, including State Street.

              We intend to continue to manage the liquidity of the programs, if and as needed, through purchases of commercial paper as necessary; however, if due to further deterioration in the liquidity of the fixed-income markets or otherwise, it would become necessary to purchase assets from the conduits, we anticipate that we could fund those purchases.

              During 2007, we did not experience any losses in our interest-raterole as a liquidity and foreign currency risk.credit enhancement provider to the conduits, although the margins that we generated from administration of the conduits were lower than the levels historically achieved on commercial paper issued by the conduits. The fee revenue we generated from our involvement with the conduits was approximately $66 million for 2007, $62 million for 2006 and $58 million for 2005. We earn fees from our role as administrator, liquidity or credit enhancement provider and as one of the dealers, which fees are priced on a market basis. These fees are recorded in processing fees and other revenue in our consolidated statement of income. Our overall conduit business activities generated pre-tax income, which included the fee revenue described above, of approximately $23 million for 2007, compared to pre-tax income of $49 million for 2006 and $45 million for 2005. The decrease in this income from 2006 to 2007 primarily resulted from the change in fair value of basis swaps, as well as other conduit operating expenses.

              As described above, we provide the conduits with contractual liquidity in the form of liquidity asset purchase agreements. If a conduit experienced a problem with an asset, such as a default or credit rating downgrade, subject to certain conditions, the liquidity asset purchase agreement could be invoked by the conduit, requiring State Street to purchase the asset from the conduit at prices which may exceed the fair value of the assets. If that occurred, we would be required to recognize a loss upon purchase of the asset. Any loss from a credit default would first be offset by the level of funding provided by the first-loss note holders. Currently, in light of the recent reduction in liquidity in the markets, with spreads on virtually all asset classes except U.S. treasuries having widened, we expect that an asset purchase would result in a loss. This loss may be recovered in future periods, depending on State Street's actions after the asset is purchased and market conditions.

              It is also possible that we would be required to consolidate one or more of the conduits' assets and liabilities onto our consolidated balance sheet. This consolidation would occur if we were determined to be the primary beneficiary of the conduits as defined in FIN 46(R). For example, if we updated our expected loss model assumptions as a result of changes in market conditions or a downgrade of securities, we may be required to increase the amount of first-loss notes in order for the investors in the first-loss notes to continue to be considered the primary beneficiaries of the conduits. If the conduits are not able to issue additional first-loss notes or take other actions, we may be determined to be the primary beneficiary of the conduits, and would be required to consolidate the conduits' assets and liabilities onto our consolidated balance sheet. Additional information about our use of derivativesan expected loss model and the third-party investors in first-loss notes is provided in Note 15the "Significant Accounting Estimates—Special Purpose Entities" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis and in note 11 of the “NotesNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in this Form 10-K under



      Item 8. Our accounting treatment of the conduits is reviewed at least quarterly, and more frequently if specific events warrant.

              As a result of the events in the global fixed-income securities markets, we reviewed the underlying assumptions incorporated in our FIN 46(R) expected loss model. We concluded as of December 31, 2007, that our model assumptions were appropriate and were reflective of market participant assumptions, and appropriately considered the probability of, and potential for, the recurrence of these events.

              If consolidation were to occur because we were determined to be the primary beneficiary of the conduits as defined in FIN 46(R), we would consolidate the conduits' assets and liabilities onto our consolidated balance sheet at fair value. We expect that we would recognize an extraordinary loss on the date of consolidation if the fair value of the conduits' liabilities exceeded the fair value of the conduits' assets, as they do currently. This loss would be recovered back into income over the remaining lives of the assets, assuming that the assets were held to maturity and that we recovered the full principal amount of the securities.

              Purchasing or consolidating all or a significant portion of the assets of the conduits would affect the size and composition of our consolidated balance sheet and alter our financial and regulatory capital ratios, and may affect our earnings. In light of our continued ability to manage the liquidity of the commercial paper, we do not currently anticipate that this action will become necessary. However, for illustrative purposes only, assuming estimated fair values of the conduits' assets as of December 31, 2007, if all of the conduits' assets were purchased under the liquidity asset purchase agreements, or if the conduits' assets and liabilities were consolidated onto our consolidated balance sheet, we estimate that we would recognize an after-tax loss of approximately $530 million in our consolidated statement of income.

              This estimate assumes that all of the conduits, with total assets of approximately $28.76 billion as of December 31, 2007, are consolidated on that date; that the assets of the conduits are recorded at fair value, which is based on State Street's consistent application of its pricing policies for conduit assets; and that the pre-tax loss is tax-effected at a 40% marginal income tax rate. If this consolidation were to occur in the future, or we were required to purchase assets pursuant to the liquidity asset purchase agreements at prices in excess of the fair value of the assets, the ultimate amount of loss will be based upon market conditions at the date such a determination is made, which could differ from the estimate provided above. If the assets were consolidated for accounting purposes pursuant to FIN 46(R), we expect that this loss would be recorded as an extraordinary loss, after income from continuing operations. If we were to purchase the assets under the liquidity asset purchase agreements, to the extent that a loss was incurred, we expect that the loss would be recognized in continuing operations.

              We consider the activities of the conduits in our liquidity management process, as more fully described in the "Liquidity" section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis. We would be able to access multiple sources of liquidity to fund required asset purchases, including sales of other assets, asset repurchase agreements, the issuance of corporate commercial paper, the issuance of bank certificates of deposit and time deposits, and accessing the Federal Reserve discount window or similar facilities in other jurisdictions in which we maintain significant banking operations. The consolidation of the conduits for accounting purposes alone would not require additional funding or liquidity for the conduits to fund their asset portfolios. However, if the reasons for consolidation related to an inability of the conduits to issue commercial paper, the conduits would require additional liquidity.

              If we were required to consolidate the conduits' assets and liabilities, our regulatory capital ratios would be negatively impacted for a period of time. With respect to regulatory capital, the consolidation of the conduits' assets and liabilities would cause a reduction of our tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios. The impact of consolidation on our tier 1 leverage ratio would be more significant, but the


      degree of impact would depend on how and when consolidation occurred, since this ratio is a function of our consolidated total average assets over an entire quarter.

              Assuming estimated fair values of the conduits' assets as of December 31, 2007, priced as described above, if all of the conduits' assets and liabilities were consolidated onto our consolidated balance sheet on December 31, 2007, and no other management actions were taken with respect to regulatory capital, the following table presents the estimated impact on State Street's and State Street Bank's regulatory capital ratios.

      RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

              Information with respect to recent accounting developments is in note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

      RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

      In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or “FASB,” issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). This new standard is intended to make it easier for financial statement users to understand an employer’s financial position and ability to meet the obligations of its benefit plans. The standard requires recognition in our consolidated statement of condition of the overfunded or underfunded status of our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan, nonqualified retirement plans and postretirement benefit plans, which is the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the related benefit obligations. The standard also requires the


      reclassification of the after-tax amount of any unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized prior service costs to accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. In subsequent years, the after-tax amount of changes in unrecognized actuarial gains and losses, as well as unrecognized prior service costs, will be recorded in other comprehensive income.

      The standard was effective on December 31, 2006 with respect to the recognition of our plans’ funded status, and the standard’s remaining provisions must be applied prospectively. Upon adoption of the standard, to recognize the after-tax difference between our plans’ net funded status and the amounts currently recorded in the consolidated statement of condition, we recorded an after-tax reduction of accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $164 million. Disclosures required by the new standard are included in Note 17 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.

      In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or “FSP,” No. FAS 13-2, Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction. The FSP, which must be applied as of January 1, 2007, requires that the recognition of lease income over the term of a lease be recalculated if there is a change in the expected timing of tax-related cash flows. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of the FSP must be recorded as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2007.

      Our application of the FSP’s provisions to certain of our leveraged leases resulted in an after-tax reduction of the beginning balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2007 of approximately $226 million. Future revenue from the affected leases is expected to increase over the remaining terms of the affected leases by an amount approximately equal to the after-tax reduction. Future developments concerning our resolution of issues with the IRS with respect to the affected leases could affect management’s estimate of the timing of tax-related cash flows used to record the cumulative effect adjustment. Changes in estimates of the timing of these tax-related cash flows could result in income tax expense in our consolidated statement of income during 2007 or later years.

      Information related to other recent accounting developments is in Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Form 10-K under Item 8.


      To Our Shareholders

      2006 was a very good year for State Street.

      We exceeded all of our financial goals (excluding tax adjustments), grew our business globally, expanded relationships with our customers, launched new products, acquired new capabilities and continued to be a strong corporate citizen in the communities in which we live and work.

      Our performance in 2006 was driven by a number of themes that I define as setting the standard for our industry.

      Consistency

      The first theme is consistency, which is best illustrated by our financial performance. 2006 was our twenty-ninth consecutive year of operating earnings per share growth and our twenty-eighth consecutive year of dividend increases, with an 11 percent increase from 2005. We outperformed our peer group in revenue and EPS growth while generating lower expense growth. Earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding the tax adjustments recorded in the second and fourth quarters, rose 23 percent from 2005 (exceeding our goal of between 10 and 15 percent); our top-line operating revenue on a fully taxable-equivalent basis was up 15 percent from 2005 (exceeding our goal of between 8 and 12 percent); and our return on equity from continuing operations, excluding the above-mentioned tax adjustments, improved from 15.3 percent in 2005 to 17.1 percent (exceeding our range of between 14 and 17 percent).

      We also achieved 290 basis points of positive operating leverage in 2006 compared to 2005, and generated four more quarters of year-over-year operating leverage, bringing State Street’s number of consecutive quarters of year-over-year positive operating leverage to nine. This consistent performance was rewarded with a 22 percent increase in our stock price in 2006.

      We increased net interest revenue on a fully taxable-equivalent basis by 22 percent over 2005 and improved net interest margin to 1.25 percent, up from 1.08 percent in 2005. We also repurchased 5.8 million shares of our common stock.

      State Street Global Advisors (SSgA), our investment management arm and the largest institutional asset manager in the world*, contributed to our strong financial performance with another outstanding year in 2006, accounting for 24 percent of the company’s total pretax profit in 2006, up from 21 percent in 2005. Pretax profit at SSgA increased 40 percent compared to 2005, with its pretax margin up to 35 percent from 31 percent in 2005.  Assets under management grew 21.4 percent in 2006 to $1.7 trillion.

      Consistency is also reflected in our approach to community support, sustainable development and the environment. Since 1977, we have contributed a portion of pretax profits to the State Street Foundation, which in turn provided more than $11.4 million in grants in 2006 to support affordable housing, education and health.

      Additionally, our employees worldwide devoted 40,000 hours to volunteer activities. In our home state of Massachusetts, we were the largest corporate contributor to the United Way of Massachusetts Bay for the sixteenth consecutive year. This consistent performance on behalf of our communities was a key factor in State Street being named to Business Ethics magazine’s “100 Best Corporate Citizens” list for 2006. State Street was also selected for both the World and North America Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes, based on our enhanced environmental management and corporate governance policies, in addition to our strong citizenship and philanthropy programs.


      * Based on assets under management


      Global Growth

      The second theme underpinning our strong performance in 2006 is global growth.  We made considerable progress in 2006 against our long-term goal of growing non-US revenue to 50 percent, achieving a total of 43 percent in 2006, up from 39 percent in 2005. This increase in non-US revenue highlights our ability to capitalize on key growth areas, such as hedge and offshore fund servicing, enhanced and active strategies, investment manager operations outsourcing and electronic foreign exchange trading. At SSgA, 32 percent of revenue now comes from non-US sources, up from 30 percent in 2005.

      “Global” not only applies to our business but also to our people. Today, approximately 40 percent of our employees are located outside of the US, which provides us with a strong foundation for future growth as we seek to outpace our competitors in markets that are growing faster than the US.

      This diversity starts at the top of our company, highlighted by the election in December of three European nationals to our board of directors—Peter Coym, Amelia Fawcett and Maureen Miskovic, all of whom bring a wealth of global and financial industry experience to our board.

      “Global” also describes our customer base in 2006, with key asset servicing and asset management business wins being awarded to us in Beijing, Boston, Edinburgh, Hong Kong, London, Luxembourg, Munich, New York, Paris, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo and Toronto. These wins represent a total of 779 new investment servicing wins and 1,345 new asset management business wins from companies that include Virgin Money, Bayerische Versorgungskammer, CIMB Group, IKANO Fund Management S.A., TOWER Australia Limited and John Hancock Funds.

      Innovation

      The third theme, innovation, remains a key driver in fueling our growth and deepening our relationships with customers. This focus on innovation is supported by our commitment to investing in technology—22 percent of our operating expenses in 2006—and pioneering new products and solutions.

      In 2006, we launched a number of industry firsts. This innovation ranges from the launch of our Sovereign Bond Flow Indicator that measures investor flows into sovereign bonds covering 13 countries, to the expansion of our alternative investment strategies capabilities with a new line-up of cutting-edge absolute return strategies, to 12 new exchange-traded funds providing investors with precise exposure to targeted sectors such as the oil and gas sector and the metals and mining sector.

      Our leading position in investment manager operations outsourcing, a capability that we pioneered in the industry in 2000, continued to expand in 2006 with the completion of the first European customer migration onto our Enterprise technology and the addition of two new North American customers—Evergreen Investments and Putnam Investments.

      Customer Focus

      The fourth and final theme is customer focus. Our commitment to delivering a value to our customers that they cannot find anywhere else proved to be a strong differentiator for State Street in 2006, with more than 75 percent of our new revenue coming from deepening relationships with existing customers. For example, AXA Investment Managers expanded its relationship with us to include servicing for its Luxembourg- and Dublin-based fund groups for more than 20 billion in assets. Calamos Investments, a customer since 2004, chose State Street to provide fund accounting services for an additional nine open-ended mutual funds and one variable insurance fund representing $29.8 billion in assets.

      The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) reappointed State Street to provide investment services for its $200 billion pension fund, a testament to the high-quality customer service that


      State Street has provided to CalPERS for more than 13 years. CalPERS also selected SSgA as one of its first managers to implement a domestic long-short equity strategy, underscoring the success SSgA continues to achieve in offering the most innovative investment strategies available in the industry today.

      Our ability to deliver for our customers continued to yield business from new customers as well. For example, SSgA was selected by China’s National Council for Social Security Fund (NCSSF) as external manager for the National Social Security Fund’s global equity mandate—the first time the NCSSF chose a global manager.

      Customer focus is part of our corporate culture at State Street and a value that is reflected across our leadership team. Three members of this team were promoted to vice chairman in 2006, in recognition of the considerable contributions they have made to the evolution of our company and the impact of their responsibilities on our current and future growth. Joseph L. (Jay) Hooley, a 20-year veteran of State Street, is head of global investment servicing and investment research and trading. Under his leadership, State Street has achieved consistently high growth and has expanded its global presence. Today, the company is the No. 1 provider of investment manager operations outsourcing services, a leading provider of hedge fund servicing and a world leader in multi-asset class trading and transition management.

      William W. Hunt is president and chief executive officer of SSgA and a 12-year State Street veteran. With more than a decade of experience working outside of the US, Hunt plays a key role in driving State Street’s global expansion as well as accelerating SSgA’s push into active and enhanced strategies.

      Joseph C. Antonellis, a 16-year veteran of State Street, is chief information officer and heads the company’s global securities services, operations and technology. Antonellis, named “Best CIO” by the American Financial Technology Awards, is also responsible for the company’s investment servicing business in North America.

      What’s Next?

      Looking ahead to 2007, the question that I am most often asked is: “What’s next?”  This is a question that we continually ask ourselves to ensure that we don’t become complacent and falsely assume that by simply doing more of the same we will deliver similar results. While we have confidence in our strategic focus, we will continue to evolve our business to ensure that we retain our leadership position in the industry and set the standard for others to follow.

      We will also continue to balance revenue growth with expense discipline to generate positive operating leverage, and aggressively pursue capabilities that will augment our market share in high-growth markets and will increase our revenue. Our proposed acquisitions of Investors Financial Services Corporation and Currenex, which we announced at the beginning of 2007, are examples of actions we are taking to enhance our leadership position.

      With the acquisition of Boston-based Investors Financial Services, State Street strengthens its position as a worldwide service provider of fund accounting to the mutual fund industry, enhances its capabilities in servicing the offshore fund market, and further extends its leadership in the fastest growing segment of the asset servicing business—hedge fund administration.

      Key to this transaction is the tremendous cross-sell opportunities that it provides State Street. Investors Financial Services serves 12 of the top 25 global investment managers. These institutions will now have access to State Street’s global capabilities, from foreign exchange to securities lending to servicing cross-border assets.

      The Investors Financial Services acquisition also expands State Street’s product line, bringing private equity fund servicing capabilities along with approximately $30 billion in private equity fund assets under administration and strengthens State Street’s leadership position in key areas. With the addition of


      Investors Financial Services’ $2.2 trillion in assets under custody, State Street will have more than $14 trillion in assets under custody. State Street will also be the No. 1 administrator of hedge funds, with assets under administration of more than $340 billion. In addition, the acquisition helps extend State Street’s lead in investment manager operations outsourcing.

      The combination of expanded market share in key growth markets, cross-sell opportunities with new customers and the addition of new products will help us generate significant new revenue.

      The Investors Financial Services acquisition also complements our acquisition of the Currenex foreign exchange trading platform, which accelerates our participation in the electronic foreign exchange trading market and its fastest growing segment: hedge funds. Foreign exchange is the largest and most-liquid market in the world, with trading volumes of approximately $2.3 trillion per day. With the Currenex acquisition, State Street can offer its customers more efficient access to markets as well as the industry’s most flexible, comprehensive trading solutions.

      Setting the Industry Standard

      When we talk about “setting the industry standard,” we define this standard as delivering financial results that are better than the market and our peer group. Our long-term financial goals remain the same as I previously described. Due to the Investors Financial Services Corp. acquisition, however, we have set financial goals for 2007 of achieving growth in operating earnings per share of 8 to 10 percent, growth in operating revenue of 16 to 18 percent and return on equity of between 12 and 15 percent. We expect to achieve near the middle of these ranges in 2007. Our operating results for 2007 will exclude merger, integration and restructuring charges related to the Investors Financial Services acquisition, and for 2006 will exclude the previously mentioned tax adjustments.

      We expect that further improvements in net interest revenue and net interest margin resulting from the actions we have taken over the past two years will improve the yields from our balance sheet, without adding any significant new credit risk.

      By setting the standard for our industry, we will continue to deliver superior results for shareholders, customers, employees and the community. We are committed to ensuring that we consistently achieve this level of performance across the globe, while continually innovating to create products and services that deepen our relationships with our customers.  We delivered on our commitment in 2006, and I will ensure that we remain equally committed to superior results for all of our stakeholders in 2007.

      /s/ RONALD E. LOGUE

      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

      Note 1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      The accounting and financial reporting policies of State Street Corporation conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP.”referred to as "GAAP." Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in these notesNotes to consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements to “State"State Street,” “we,” “us,” “our”" "we," "us," "our" or similar references mean State Street Corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The parent company is a financial holding company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. We report two lines of business:

      ·

        Investment Servicing provides services for U.S. mutual funds and collective investment funds, corporate and public retirement plans, insurance companies, foundations, endowments and other investment pools worldwide. Products include custody, product- and participant-level accounting,accounting; daily pricing and administration; master trust and master custody; recordkeeping; foreign exchange, brokerage and other trading services; securities finance; deposit and short-term investment facilities; loans and lease financing; investment manager and hedge fund manager operations outsourcing; and performance, risk and compliance analytics to support institutional investors.

        ·

        Investment Management offers a broad array of services for managing financial assets, including investment management and investment research services, primarily for institutional investors worldwide. These services include passive and active U.S. and non-U.S. equity and fixed incomefixed-income strategies, and other related services, such as securities finance.


      The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the application of certain of our accounting policies that materially affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. As a result of unanticipated events or circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of our significant accounting policies.

      Basis of Presentation:

      Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, including its principal banking subsidiary, State Street Bank and Trust Company, or “Statereferred to as "State Street Bank,” as well as special purpose entities considered to be variable interest entities for which State Street is the primary beneficiary under existing accounting standards.Bank." All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

      We consolidate subsidiaries in which we hold a majority of the voting rights or exercise control. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, recorded in other assets, are generally accounted for using the equity method of accounting if we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of the investee. For investments accounted for under the equity method, our share of income or loss is recorded in processing fees and other revenue. Investments not meeting the criteria for equity method treatment are accounted for using the cost method of accounting.

      Foreign Currency Translation:

      The assets and liabilities of our operations with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated at month-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at rates that approximate average monthly exchange rates. Gains or losses from the translation of the net assets of subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, net of related taxes, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.


      Cash and Cash Equivalents:

      For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents have been defined as cash and due from banks.

      Securities Purchased Under Resale Agreements and Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements:

      U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities, or “U.S.referred to as "U.S. government securities," purchased under resale agreements or sold under repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions, and are recorded in theour consolidated statement of condition at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently resold or repurchased, plus accrued interest. Our policy is to take possession or control of securities underlying resale agreements, allowing borrowers the right of collateral substitution and/or short-notice termination. We revalue these securities daily to determine if additional collateral is necessary from the borrower to protect us against credit exposure. We can use these securities as collateral for repurchase agreements. For securities sold under repurchase agreements collateralized by our U.S. government securities portfolio, the dollar value of the U.S. government securities remains in investment securities in our consolidated statement of condition. Where a master netting agreement exists or both parties are members of a common clearing organization, resale and repurchase agreements with the same counterparty or clearing house and maturity date are reported on a net basis.

      Investment Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity:

      Our        Securities held in our investment securities portfolio principally includes debt securities purchased in connection with our asset and liability management activities. These securities are classified at the time of purchase, based on management’smanagement's intentions, as available for sale or held to maturity. Securities available for sale are those that management intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, including securities used as part of our asset and liability management strategy that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, pre-payment risk, liquidity needs or other similar factors. Debt and marketable equity securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value, and after-tax net unrealized gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’shareholders' equity. Gains or losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are computed using the specific identification method. Securities held to maturity are debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities classified as held to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

      Management reviews the fair value of the portfolio at least quarterly, and evaluates individual securities for declines in fair value that may be other than temporary, considering factors such as current and expected future interest rates, external credit ratings, dividend payments, the performance of underlying collateral, if any, the financial health of the issuer and other pertinent information, including current developments with respect to the issuer, as well as the duration of the decline and management’smanagement's intent and ability to hold the security. If declines are deemed other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized and the amortized cost basis of the investment security is written down to its current fair value, which becomes the new cost basis. Other-than-temporary unrealized losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, if any, are recorded as a reduction of processing fees and other revenue.

      Loans and Lease Financing:

      Loans are generally reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of the allowance for loan losses, unearned income, and any net unamortized deferred loan origination fees. Interest revenue is recognized using the interest method or on a basis approximating a level rate of return over the term of the loan. Fees received for providing loan commitments and letters of credit that we anticipate will result in loans typically are deferred and amortized to interest revenue over the life of the related loan,



      beginning with the


      initial borrowing. Fees on commitments and letters of credit are amortized to processing fees and other revenue over the commitment period when funding is not known or expected.

      Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 60 days past due as to either principal or interest, or earlier when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal or interest is not probable. Loans 60 days past due, but considered both well secured and in the process of collection, are treated as exceptions and may be exempted from non-accrual status. When we place a loan on non-accrual status, the accrual of interest is discontinued and previously recorded but unpaid interest is reversed and generally charged against net interest revenue. For loans on non-accrual status, revenue is recognized on a cash basis after recovery of principal, if and when interest payments are received.

      Leveraged lease investments are reported at the aggregate of lease payments receivable and estimated residual values, net of non-recourse debt and unearned income. Lease residual values are reviewed regularly for other-than-temporary impairment, with valuation adjustments recorded currently against processing fees and other revenue. Unearned income is recognized to yield a level rate of return on the net investment in the leases. Gains and losses on residual values of leased equipment sold are recorded in processing fees and other revenue.

      Allowance for Loan Losses:

      The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management. Factors considered in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance include previous loss experience, current economic conditions and adverse situations that may affect the borrower’sborrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of the underlying collateral and the performance of individual credits in relation to contract terms, and other relevant factors. The provision for loan losses charged to earnings is based upon management’s judgmentmanagement's estimate of the amount necessary to maintain the allowance at a level adequate to absorb estimated probable credit losses.

      Loans are charged off to the allowance for loan losses in the reporting period in which either an event occurs that confirms the existence of a loss or it is determined that a loan or a portion of a loan is not collectible. Recoveries are recorded on a cash basis.

      In addition, we maintain a reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures that is recorded in other liabilities. The adequacy of this reserve is subject to the same considerations and review as the allowance for loan losses. Provisions to change the level of this reserve are recorded in other operating expenses.

      Premises and Equipment:

      Buildings, leasehold improvements, computers, software and other equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization recorded in operating expenses are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining terms of the leases, generally 3 to 40 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while major leasehold improvements are capitalized and expensed over their estimated useful lives or terms of the lease. For premises held under leases where we have an obligation to restore the facilities to their original condition upon expiration of the lease, we expense the anticipated related costs over the term of the lease.

      Costs related to internal-use software development projects that provide significant new functionality are capitalized. We consider projects for capitalization that are expected to yield long-term operational benefits, such as applications that result in operational efficiencies and/or incremental revenue streams. Software customization costs relating to specific customer enhancements are expensed as incurred.


      Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets:

      Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net tangible and other intangible assets acquired. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual rights or because the asset can be exchanged on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to annual impairment tests. Customer-listCustomer relationship intangible assets generally are amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteenperiods ranging from twelve to twenty years, and thecore deposit intangible assets over twenty-two years, with amortization isexpense recorded in other operating expenses. Impairment of goodwill is deemed to exist if the carrying value of a reporting unit, including its allocation of goodwill and other intangible assets, exceeds its estimated fair value. Impairment of other intangibles is deemed to exist if the balance of the other intangible asset exceeds the cumulative net cash inflows related to the asset over its remaining estimated useful life. If it is determined, based on these reviews, that goodwill or other intangible assets are impaired, the value of the goodwill or the other intangible asset is written down through a charge to other operating expenses.

      Fee and Net Interest Revenue:

      Fees from investment servicing, investment management, securities finance, trading services and certain types of processing fees and other revenue are recorded based on estimates or specific contractual terms as transactions occur or services are rendered, provided that persuasive evidence exists, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Amounts accrued at period-end are recorded in accrued income receivable in our consolidated statement of condition. Investment management performance fees are recorded in arrears after the performance period ends,when earned, based on predetermined benchmarks associated with the applicable fund’sfund's performance. Interest revenue on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is recorded based on the effective yield of the related financial instrument.

      Employee Benefits Expense:

      Employee benefits expense includes prior and current service costs of pension and other postretirement benefit plans, which are accrued on a current basis, as well as contributions under defined contribution savings plans, unrestricted awards under other employee compensation plans, and the amortization of restricted stock awards.

      Equity-Based Compensation:

      We record compensation expense, equal to the estimated fair value of employee stock options on the grant date, on a straight-line basis over the options’options' vesting period. We use a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the options granted.

      On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards or “SFAS,” No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment. This new standard requires the fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including awards made prior to January 1, 2003, to be recognized in the consolidated statement of income. We elected to use the modified prospective method, under which compensation expense is recorded over the remaining vesting period for only the portion of stock awards not fully vested as of January 1, 2006. The impact of adoption of the new standard was not material to our consolidated financial conditionposition or results of operations, because the number of options granted prior to January 1, 2003, that were not fully vested as of January 1, 2006, was not significant. In addition, we elected to adopt the alternative transition method prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board or “FASB,” Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3, and reclassified $86 million of tax benefits related to equity-based compensation from a general surplus account to a specifically designated surplus account within shareholders’shareholders' equity.

      Income Taxes:

      We use an asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. Our objective is to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year through charges or credits to the current tax provision, and to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences resulting from temporary differences between the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases. The measurement of tax assets and liabilities is based on enacted tax laws and applicable tax rates. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when we believe it more likely than not that the position will be sustained. A deferred tax valuation allowance is established if it is considered more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

      Earnings Per Share:

      Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, which excludes unvested shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the shares representing the dilutive effect of stock options and awards and other equity-related financial instruments. The effect of stock options and restricted stock outstanding is excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share in periods in which their effect would be antidilutive.

      Special Purpose Entities:

              We are involved with various legal forms of special purpose entities, or SPEs, in the normal course of our business.

              We use trusts to structure and sell certificated interests in pools of tax-exempt investment-grade assets principally to our mutual fund customers. These trusts are recorded in our consolidated financial statements. We transfer assets to these trusts, which are legally isolated from us, from our investment securities portfolio at adjusted book value. The trusts finance the acquisition of these assets by selling certificated interests issued by the trusts to third-party investors. The investment securities of the trusts are carried in investments securities available for sale at fair value. The certificated interests are carried in other short-term borrowings at the amount owed to the third-party investors. The interest revenue and interest expense generated by the investments and certificated interests, respectively, are recorded in net interest revenue when earned or incurred.


              We use conduits in connection with an asset-backed commercial paper program that provides short-term investments for our customers. The conduits, which are administered by us, are third-party owned and are structured as bankruptcy-remote limited liability companies. The conduits purchase financial assets with various asset classifications from a variety of third-parties and fund those purchases by issuing commercial paper. We do not sell our own assets to these conduits. These conduits typically meet the definition of a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined by FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003)—an interpretation of ARB No. 51. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of the conduits, as defined by FIN 46(R), and do not record them in our consolidated financial statements. We periodically re-assess this determination, using a financial model, referred to as an "expected loss model," to ensure that consolidation is not required pursuant to FIN 46(R).

              The primary beneficiary is the party that has one or more variable interests that will absorb a majority of a VIE's expected losses, receive a majority of the VIE's expected residual returns, or both. If we were to determine that we were the primary beneficiary of the conduits, we would consolidate them. We apply the expected loss model to the conduits to determine the primary beneficiaries of conduits meeting the definition of variable interest entities. Variabilities factored into the model include basis risk and credit risk, which are then allocated to the variable interest holders to determine which of those variable interest holders is the primary beneficiary. We hold no equity ownership interest in these conduits.

              Investors in commercial paper issued by the conduits benefit from the liquidity support provided to the conduits, the majority of which is provided by us in the form of liquidity asset purchase agreements and backup liquidity lines of credit. We also provide direct credit support to the conduits in the form of standby letters of credit. Liquidity asset purchase agreements, backup liquidity lines of credit and standby letters of credit are not recorded in our consolidated financial statements but are reported as off-balance sheet commitments. We receive fees for providing administrative services to the conduits, as well as liquidity and direct credit support, all of which are based on market price and are recorded in processing fees and other revenue when earned.

              We manage the collateral in certain third-party investment vehicles, referred to as CDOs, which structure and sell debt and equity securities to investors. These CDOs purchase a portfolio of diversified assets and fund these asset purchases through the issuance of several tranches of debt and equity, the repayment and return of which are linked to the performance of the assets in the CDO. Typically, our involvement is only as collateral manager. We may also invest in a small percentage of the debt issued. These CDOs typically meet the definition of a variable interest entity as defined by FIN 46(R). We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of these CDOs, and do not record them in our consolidated financial statements. We receive fees for asset management services provided to the CDOs, which are based on market price and are recorded in processing fees and other revenue when earned.

      Derivative Financial Instruments:

      A derivative financial instrument is a financial instrument or other contract which has one or more underlying and one or more notional amounts, no initial net investment, or a smaller initial net investment than would be expected for similar types of contracts, and which requires or permits net settlement. Derivatives that we enter into include forwards, futures, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics.

      We record derivatives in our consolidated statement of condition at their fair value. On the date a derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as: (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized fixed-rate asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (a “fair value”"fair value" hedge); (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related



      to a recognized variable-rate asset or liability (a “cash flow”"cash flow" hedge); (3) a foreign currency fair value or cash


      flow hedge (a “foreign currency”"foreign currency" hedge); (4) a hedge of a net investment in a non-U.S. operation; or (5) held for trading purposes (“trading”("trading" instruments).

      Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective—and that is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge—are recorded currently in processing fees and other revenue, along with the changes in fair value of the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective—and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge—are recorded, net of tax, in other comprehensive income, until earnings are affected by the hedged cash flows (e.g., when periodic settlements on a variable-rate asset or liability are recorded in earnings). Cash flow hedge ineffectiveness, defined as the extent to which the changes in fair value of the derivative exceed the variability of cash flows of the forecasted transaction, is recorded in processing fees and other revenue.

      Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective—and that is designated and qualifies as a foreign currency hedge—are recorded currently either in processing fees and other revenue or in other comprehensive income, net of tax, depending on whether the hedge transaction meets the criteria for a fair value or a cash flow hedge. If, however, a derivative is used as a hedge of a net investment in a non-U.S. operation, its changes in fair value, to the extent effective as a hedge, are recorded, net of tax, in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income. Lastly, entire changes in the fair value of derivatives classified as trading instruments are recorded in trading services revenue.

      At both the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, we formally assess and document the effectiveness of a derivative designated as a hedge in offsetting changes in the fair value of hedged items and the likelihood that the derivative will be an effective hedge in future periods. We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when we determine that the derivative will not remain effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the underlying risk being hedged, the derivative expires, terminates or is sold, or management discontinues the hedge designation.

      Unrealized gains and losses on foreign exchange and interest-rate contracts are reported at fair value in the consolidated statement of condition as a component of other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on a gross basis, except where such gains and losses arise from contracts covered by qualifying master netting agreements.

      Recent Accounting Developments:

      In September 2006,December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, 160,Employers’ AccountingNoncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for Defined Benefit Pensionminority interests, which will be recharacterized as "noncontrolling interests" and Other Postretirement Plans—classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. The provisions of this standard are effective beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

              In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas, including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, in-process research and development costs and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS No. 141(R), changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. The provisions of this standard are effective beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption of this new standard on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.


              In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB StatementsStatement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)115.. This new standard is intendeddesigned to make it easierreduce complexity in accounting for financial statement users to understand an employer’s financial positioninstruments and ability to meet the obligations of its benefit plans.lessen earnings volatility caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The standard requires recognitioncreates presentation and disclosure requirements designed to aid comparisons between companies that use different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The standard, which is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses on those assets and liabilities recorded in earnings. The fair value option may be applied on a financial instrument by financial instrument basis, with a few exceptions, and is irrevocable for those financial instruments once applied. The fair value option may only be applied to entire financial instruments, not portions of instruments.

              The standard does not eliminate disclosures required by SFAS No. 107,Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, or SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, the latter of which is described below. The provisions of the standard were effective for our consolidated statement of condition of the overfunded or underfunded status of our tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan, nonqualified retirement plans and postretirement benefit plans, which is the difference betweenfinancial statements beginning January 1, 2008. We have not elected the fair value of plan assets and the related benefit obligations. The standard also requires the reclassification of the after-tax amount of any unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized prior service costsoption under SFAS No. 159, but may elect to accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. In subsequent years, the after-tax amount of changesdo so in unrecognized actuarial gains and losses, as well as unrecognized prior service costs, will be recorded in other comprehensive income.future periods.

      The standard was effective as of December 31, 2006 for the recognition of our plans’ funded status, and applies prospectively for the remaining provisions. Upon adoption of the standard, to recognize the after-tax difference between our plans’ net funded status and the amounts currently recorded in the consolidated statement of condition, we recorded an after-tax reduction of accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $164 million. Disclosures required by the new standard are included in Note 17.

      In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. This new standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in conformity with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Prior to this standard, there were varying definitions of fair value, and the limited guidance for applying those definitions under GAAP. In addition, the guidanceGAAP was dispersed among the many accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements. ThisThe new standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

              The standard applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, since the FASB previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. As a result, the new standard does not establish any new fair value measurements itself, but applies to other accounting standards that require the use of fair value for recognition or disclosure. In particular, the framework in the new standard will be required for financial instruments for which fair value is elected, such as under the newly issued SFAS No. 159, discussed above.

              The new standard requires companies to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial instruments carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the three categories in accordance with the hierarchy. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

        level 1: Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

        level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs corroborated by market data; and

        level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

              In addition, the standard requires enhanced disclosure with respect to the activities of those financial instruments classified within the level 3 category, including a roll-forward analysis of fair value balance sheet amounts for each major category of assets and liabilities and disclosure of the unrealized gains and losses for level 3 positions held at the reporting date.


              The standard is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements.measurements, and encourages entities to combine the fair value information disclosed under the standard with the fair value information disclosed under other accounting pronouncements, including SFAS No. 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, where practicable. The provisions of this standard arewere effective beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact ofOur adoption of this standard onthe standard's provisions did not materially impact our consolidated financial position and results of operations. We will provide the disclosures required by the new standard in our first quarter 2008 Form 10-Q.

      In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or “SAB,” No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The guidance provided by SAB No. 108 must be initially applied to financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. This guidance has not had any material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

      In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position or “FSP,” No. FAS 13-2,Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease TransactionTransaction.. The FSP,Staff Position, the provisions of which must bewere applied as ofon January 1, 2007, requires that the recognition of lease income over the term of a lease be recalculated if there is a change in the expected timing of tax-related cash flows. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of the FSP must be recorded as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2007.flows occurs. Our application of the FSP’sStaff Position's provisions to certain of our leveraged leases resulted in ana cumulative after-tax reduction of the beginning balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2007 of approximately $226 million. Future revenueincome from the affected leases is expected to increase over the remaining terms of the affected leases by an amount approximately equal to the after-tax reduction.

      In July 2006, to improve comparability in the reporting of income tax assets and liabilities in the absence of guidance in existing income tax accounting standards, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. Generally, this Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’scompany's financial statements in accordance with existing income tax accounting standards, and prescribes certain thresholds and attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of the Interpretation must bewere applied as ofon January 1, 2007, and the cumulative effect of applying the Interpretation’s provisions must be recorded as an adjustment of the beginning balance of retained earnings as of that date. Our application of the Interpretation’s provisions to our tax positions as of January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

      In April 2006, Disclosures required by the FASB issued FSP No. FIN 46(R)-6, Determining the Variability to Be ConsideredInterpretation are provided in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This FSP addresses how a reporting enterprise should determine the variability to be considered in applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or “FIN 46(R).” The variability that is considered in applying FIN 46(R) affects the determination of (a) whether an entity is a variable interest entity, or “VIE;” (b) which interests are variable interests in a VIE; and (c) which party, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. This variability will affect any calculation of expected losses and expected residual returns, if such a calculation is necessary to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The FSP was effective prospectively for all VIEs (including newly created VIEs) beginning July 1, 2006. Upon adoption, the FSPnote 20. did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.


      In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This standard amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. The standard resolves certain previous implementation issues with respect to beneficial interests in securitized financial assets, and requires that these interests be evaluated to determine if they are free-standing derivatives, or if they are hybrid financial instruments that contain embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting. The standard also permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require separation, and eliminates the prohibition concerning passive derivatives that a qualifying special purpose entity may hold. The standard is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to re-measurement occurring on or after January 1, 2007.

      As more fully described in Notenote 1, management periodically reviews the investment securities portfolio to determine if other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. This review encompasses all investment securities and includes such quantitative factors as current and expected future interest rates, the length of time the cost basis has exceeded the fair value and the severity of the impairment measured as the ratio of fair value to amortized cost, and includes all investment securities for which we have issuer-specific concerns regardless of quantitative factors. After a full review of all investment securities, taking


      into consideration current economic conditions, adverse situations that might affect our ability to fully collect interest and principal, the timing of future payments, the valuecredit quality and performance of the underlying collateral of asset-backed securities, and other relevant factors, management considers the aggregate decline in fair value and the resulting gross unrealized losses of $563 million$1.40 billion on 3,8972,702 securities at December 31, 20062007 to be temporary. The losses are primarily the result of rising interest rates over the course of 2005 and part of 2006, not considered to be the result of any material changes in the credit characteristics of the investment securities portfolio.securities. Management has the ability and the intent to hold the securities until recovery in market value.

      During 2004, we reclassified $25 million of the allowance for loan losses to other liabilities as a reserve for off-balance sheet commitments. Subsequent to the reclassification, the reserve for off-balance sheet commitments was reduced by $10 million, which was recorded as a reduction of other operating expenses. Additionally, we reduced the allowance for loan losses by $18 million through the provision for loan losses as a result of reduced credit exposures and improved credit quality.

      During 2005, we entered into an agreement with a clearing organization that enables us to net all securities purchased under resale agreements and sold under repurchase agreements with counterparties that are also members of this organization. As a result of netting, the average balances of securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements were each reduced by $13.38 billion for 2007 and $6.41 billion for 2006 and $1.70 billion for 2005.2006.

      Other short-term borrowings at December 31, 2007 and 2006, included $1.5$3.08 billion and $1.79 billion, respectively, of certificated interests related to our tax-exempt investment programs,program, which were consolidated onto our statement of condition during 2006. These trusts, and the consolidation, are more fullyis discussed in Notenote 11.

      We maintain a commercial paper program under which we can issue up to $3 billion with original maturities of up to 270 days from the date of issue. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, $2.36 billion and 2005, $998 million and $864 million, respectively, of commercial paper were outstanding. In addition, State Street Bank currently has authority to issue bank notes up to an aggregate of $750 million with original maturities ranging from 14 days to five years. At December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, no notes payable were outstanding, and at December 31, 2006,2007, all $750 million was available for issuance.

      State Street Bank currently maintains a line of credit of CAD $800 million, or approximately $688$805 million, to support its Canadian securities processing operations. The line of credit has no stated termination



      date and is cancelable by either party with prior notice. At December 31, 2006,2007, no balance was due on this line of credit.

      We have entered into various interest-rate swap contracts to modify our interest expense on certain subordinated notes from a fixed rate to a floating rate. These swaps are recorded as fair value hedges, and at December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, we recorded an increase of $19 million and a decrease of $9 million and an increase of $18 million, respectively, in the carrying value of long-term debt.



      (2)
      We have entered into interest-rate swaps, which are recorded as cash flow hedges, to modify our floating-rate interest expense on the subordinated notes due 2028 and 2015 to a fixed rate.

      See Notenote 15 for additional information about derivatives.

      We maintain an effective universal shelf registration that allows for the offering and sale of debt securities, capital securities, common stock, depositary shares and preferred stock, and warrants to purchase such securities, including any shares into which the preferred stock and depositary shares may be convertible, or any combination thereof.

      Statutory Business Trusts:

      We have        As of December 31, 2007, we had three statutory business trusts, State Street Capital Trusts AI and BIV, and State StreetInvestors Capital Trust I, andwhich as of both December 31, 2006 and 2005, these trusts2007, collectively havehad issued $650$975 million of cumulative semi-annual and quarterly income trust preferred capital securities.

      Proceeds received by the trusts from their capitalization and from their capital securities issuances wereare invested in junior subordinated debentures issued by the parent company. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the trusts. The trusts are wholly-owned by us; however, we do not consolidate the trusts under existing accounting standards.


      Payments made by the trusts on the capital securities are dependent on our payments made to the trusts on the junior subordinated debentures. Our fulfillment of these commitments has the effect of providing a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of the trusts’trusts' obligations under the capital securities. While the capital securities issued by the trusts are not recorded in our consolidated statement of condition, they continue tothe junior subordinated debentures qualify as Tierfor inclusion in tier 1 regulatory capital under federal regulatory capital guidelines. Information about restrictions on our ability to obtain funds from our subsidiary banks is in Notenote 14.

      Interest paid on the debentures is recorded in interest expense. Distributions on the capital securities are payable from interest payments received on the debentures and are due semi-annuallyquarterly by State Street Capital Trusts AI and B, and quarterly by State Street Capital Trust I,IV, subject to deferral for up to five years under certain conditions. The capital securities are subject to mandatory redemption in whole at the stated maturity upon repayment of the debentures, with an option by us to redeem the debentures at any time upon the occurrence of certain tax events or changes to tax treatment, investment company regulation or capital treatment; or at any time after March 15, 2007, for the Capital Securities B, after December 30, 2006, for the Capital Securities A, and after May 15, 2008 for the Capital Trust I securities and any time after June 15, 2012 for the Capital Trust IV securities. ForRedemptions are subject to federal regulatory approval.

              In April 2007, State Street Capital Trust IV, a Delaware statutory trust wholly owned by the parent company, issued $800 million in aggregate liquidation amount of floating-rate capital securities and used the proceeds to purchase a like amount of floating-rate junior subordinated debentures from the parent company. The capital securities represent an undivided preferred beneficial interest in those junior subordinated debentures, which are the only assets of the trust. The junior subordinated debentures have an initial scheduled maturity in June 2037 and an initial final repayment date in June 2067, each of which we may extend by ten years in specified circumstances. In accordance with existing accounting standards, we did not record the trust in our consolidated financial statements. The junior subordinated debentures qualify for inclusion in tier 1 regulatory capital.

              In connection with the issuance of the junior subordinated debentures, the parent company entered into a replacement capital covenant in which it agreed, for the benefit of the holders of its junior subordinated debentures due 2028 underlying the floating-rate capital securities issued by State Street Capital Trust I, that it will not repay, redeem or repurchase, and that none of its subsidiaries will purchase, any part of the newly issued debentures or the floating-rate capital securities on or before June 1, 2047, unless the repayment, redemption or repurchase is made from the net cash proceeds of the issuance of certain qualified securities and pursuant to the other terms and conditions set forth in the covenant.

              In July 2007, we redeemed an aggregate of $500 million of unsecured junior subordinated debentures issued by the parent company to two of our statutory business trusts, State Street Capital Trusts A and B, composed of $200 million of 7.94% debentures issued in 1996 and $300 million of 8.035% debentures issued in 1997. We paid the trusts the outstanding amount on the debentures plus accrued interest and an aggregate redemption premiums are payable on a declining basis according topremium of approximately $20 million. This redemption premium was included in the merger and integration costs which were recorded during the second half of 2007 in connection with the Investors Financial acquisition.

              In July 2007, the trusts, consistent with the terms of their applicable governing documents, redeemed their respective outstanding capital securities, with an aggregate liquidation amount of $500 million, corresponding to the debentures. The trusts paid to the holders of the outstanding capital securities the same amount that was paid by the parent company to the trusts to redeem the debentures.

              In January 2008, State Street Capital Trust III, a Delaware statutory trust wholly owned by the parent company, issued $500 million in aggregate liquidation amount of 8.250% fixed-to-floating rate normal automatic preferred enhanced capital securities, referred to as "normal APEX," and used the



      proceeds to purchase a like amount of remarketable 6.001% junior subordinated debentures due 2042 from the parent company. In addition, the trust agreements. All redemptionsentered into stock purchase contracts with the parent company under which the trust agrees to purchase, and the parent company agrees to sell, on the stock purchase date, a like amount in aggregate liquidation amount of the parent company's non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, series A, $100,000 liquidation preference per share. State Street will make contract payments to the trust at an annual rate of 2.249% of the stated amount of $100,000 per stock purchase contract. The normal APEX are subjectbeneficial interests in the trust. The trust will pass through, as distributions on or the redemption price of normal APEX, amounts that it receives on its assets that are the corresponding assets for the normal APEX. The corresponding assets for each normal APEX, $1,000 liquidation amount, initially are $1,000 principal amount of the 6.001% junior subordinated debentures and a 1/100th, or a $1,000, interest in a stock purchase contract for the purchase and sale of one share of the Series A preferred stock for $100,000. The stock purchase date is expected to federalbe March 15, 2011, but it may occur on an earlier date or as late as March 15, 2012. From and after the stock purchase date, the corresponding asset for each normal APEX will be a 1/100th, or a $1,000, interest in one share of the Series A preferred stock. In accordance with existing accounting standards, we did not record the trust in our consolidated financial statements. The junior subordinated debentures qualify for inclusion in tier 1 regulatory approval.capital.

      Parent Company and Non-Bank Subsidiary Issuances:

      At December 31, 2007 and 2006, and 2005, $501$486 million and $515$501 million, respectively, were included in long-term debt related to the capital leases for One Lincoln Street and the One Lincoln Street parking garage. See Notenote 18 for additional information.

      The 7.65% subordinated notes due 2010 qualify as Tiertier 2 regulatory capital under federal regulatory capital guidelines. The 7.35% notes are unsecured.

      The 9.50% mortgage note was fully collateralized by property at December 31, 2005. The scheduled principal payments for the next threetwo years are $3 million for 2007 and 2008 and less than $1 million for 2009, at which time the debt will be entirely paid off.


              In April 2007, the parent company issued $700 million of senior debt, consisting of $250 million of floating-rate notes due in 2012 and $450 million of 5.375% notes due in 2017. Interest on the floating-rate notes will be paid quarterly, and on the 5.375% notes will be paid semi-annually. Neither the floating-rate notes nor the 5.375% notes may be redeemed prior to maturity. Both the floating-rate notes and the 5.375% notes are unsecured.

      State Street Bank Issuances:

      State Street Bank currently has authority to issue up to an aggregate of $1 billion of subordinated fixed-rate, floating-rate or zero-coupon bank notes with a maturity of five to fifteen years. With respect to the 5.25% subordinated bank notes due 2018, State Street Bank is required to make semi-annual interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and the notes qualify as Tierfor inclusion in tier 2 capital under regulatory capital guidelines.capital.

      With respect to the 5.30% subordinated notes due 2016 and the floating-rate subordinated notes due 2015, State Street Bank is required to make semi-annual interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the 5.30% notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year beginning in July 2006, and quarterly interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the floating-rate notes on March 8, June 8, September 8 and December 8 of each year beginning in March 2006. The notes qualify as Tierfor inclusion in tier 2 capital under regulatory capital guidelines.capital.

      On behalf of our customers, we lend their securities to creditworthy brokers and other institutions. In certain circumstances, we may indemnify our customers for the fair market value of those securities against a failure of the borrower to return such securities. Collateral funds received in connection with our securities finance services are held by us as agent and are not recorded in our consolidated statement of condition. We require the borrowers to provide collateral in an amount equal to or in excess of 100% of the fair market value of the securities borrowed. The borrowed securities are revalued daily to determine if additional collateral is necessary. WeIn this regard, we held, as agent, cash and U.S. government securities totaling $527.37$572.93 billion and $387.22$527.37 billion as collateral for indemnified securities on loan at December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively.

      Approximately 81%82% of the unfunded commitments to extend credit and liquidity asset purchase agreements expire within one year from the date of issue. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire or renew without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

      In the normal course of business, we provide liquidity and credit enhancements to asset-backed commercial paper programs, or “conduits.”referred to as "conduits." These conduits are more fully described in Notenote 11. The commercial paper issuances and commitments of the conduits to provide funding are supported by liquidity asset purchase agreements and backup liquidity lines of credit, the majority of which are provided by us. In addition, we provide direct credit support to the conduits in the form of standby letters of credit. Our commitments under liquidity asset purchase agreements and backupback-up lines of credit totaled $23.99$28.37 billion at December 31, 2006,2007, and are included in the preceding table. Our commitments under


      standby letters of credit totaled $1.01$1.04 billion at December 31, 2006,2007, and are also included in the preceding table.

      Deterioration in asset performance or certain other factors affecting the liquidity of the commercial paper may shift the asset risk from the commercial paper investors to us as the liquidity or credit enhancement provider. In addition, the conduits may need to draw upon the backupback-up facilities to repay maturing commercial paper. In these instances, we would either acquire the assets of the conduits or make loans to the conduits secured by the conduits’conduits' assets. Potential losses, if

              In the normal course of business, we offer products that provide book value protection primarily to plan participants in stable value funds of postretirement defined contribution benefit plans, particularly 401(k) plans. The book value protection is provided on portfolios of intermediate, investment grade fixed-income securities, and is intended to provide safety and stable growth of principal invested. The protection is intended to cover any fromshortfall in the event that a significant number of plan participants



      withdraw funds when book value exceeds market value and the liquidation of the assets is not sufficient to redeem the participants. To manage our exposure, we impose significant restrictions and constraints on the timing and cause of the withdrawals, the manner in which the portfolio is liquidated and the funds are accessed, and the investment parameters of the underlying portfolio. These constraints, combined with structural protections, are designed to provide adequate cushion and guard against payments even under extreme stress scenarios. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the notional amount of these conduits areguarantees totaled $44.99 billion and $38.37 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2007, we have not expected to materially affect our consolidated financial condition or resultsmade a payment under these products, and management believes that the probability of operations.payment under these guarantees is remote.

      In the normal course of business, we hold assets under custody and management in a custodial or fiduciary capacity. Management conducts regular reviews of its responsibilities in this regard and considers the results in preparing the consolidated financial statements. In this regard, in the opinion of management, no contingent liabilities existed at December 31, 2006,2007, that would have had a material adverse effect on State Street’sStreet's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

      Legal Proceedings:

              Several customers have filed litigation claims against us, some of which are putative class actions purportedly on behalf of customers invested in certain of State Street Global Advisors', or "SSgA's", active fixed-income strategies. These claims related to investment losses in one or more of SSgA's strategies that included sub-prime investments. In December 2007, we established a reserve of approximately $625 million to address legal exposure associated with the under-performance of certain active fixed-income strategies managed by SSgA and customer concerns as to whether the execution of these strategies was consistent with the customers' investment intent. These strategies were adversely impacted by exposure to, and the lack of liquidity in, sub-prime mortgage markets that resulted from the disruption in the global securities markets during the second half of 2007. After payments for settlement agreements, the reserve totaled approximately $609 million at December 31, 2007.

      We are involved in various industry-related and other regulatory, governmental and law enforcement inquiries and subpoenas, as well as legal proceedings including the proceedings related to SSgA's active fixed-income strategies referenced above, that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, after discussion with counsel, these regulatory, governmental and law enforcement inquiries and subpoenas and legal proceedings can be successfully defended or resolved without a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial conditionposition or results of operations.operations in future periods.

      Tax Contingencies:

      In the normal course of business, we are subject to challenges from U.S. and non-U.S. income tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These challenges may result in adjustments to the timing or amount of taxable income or deductions or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. During 2004, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or “IRS,” completed

              As a result of its review of our federal1997 - 1999 income tax returns, for tax years 1997, 1998 and 1999 andthe IRS proposed to disallow tax deductions relatedlosses resulting from leveraged leases known as lease-in, lease-out, or LILO, transactions. We appealed the disallowance and finalized a settlement with the IRS during the fourth quarter of 2007. We had sufficient reserves to lease-in-lease-out,cover the final settlement agreement.

              Currently, the IRS is reviewing our 2000 - 2003 income tax returns. During those years, we entered into leveraged leases known as sale-in, lease-out, or “LILO,” transactions.SILO, transactions, which the IRS has since classified as tax shelters. The IRS has proposed to disallow tax losses resulting from these leases. We believe that we reported the tax effects of theseall SILO lease transactions properly based onupon applicable statutes, regulations and case law in effect at the time they werewe entered into. Duringinto them, and we expect to appeal the second quarter of 2005, we filed an appeal with the IRS, which continues, with respect to their proposed disallowance of these tax deductions. In January 2007, a U.S. District Court found for the government in a LILO case involving another financial institution. The financial institution is appealing the decision. The IRS has indicated that it is reviewing its LILO settlement position in light of the outcome of this case.disallowance.

      During 2005, the IRS announced that it had classified sale-in-lease-out, or “SILO,” transactions as tax shelters, or “listed transactions.” The IRS began its review of our tax returns for the years 2000–2003 during the second quarter of 2005, and is reviewing these SILO transactions. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the IRS proposed to disallow tax deductions related to certain SILO transactions. We believe that we reported the tax effects of these transactions properly, based on applicable statutes, regulations and case law in effect at the time they were entered into.


      During 2006, we recorded an additional tax provision of approximately $46 million to accrue for the potential resolution of the above-described issues with the IRS.        While it is unclear whether we will be able to reach an acceptable settlementresolution with the IRS, with respect to LILO transactions, management believes we are sufficiently accrued as of December 30, 200631, 2007 for tax exposures, including exposures related to LILO and SILO transactions, and related interest expense. In future periods, if management revises its evaluation of this tax position, the effect of the revision will be recorded in income tax expense in that period. In note 20, information is provided with respect to our application of the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, to tax positions for certain of our leveraged leases for which the timing of our tax deductions is uncertain.


      Note 11.    Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities

      Tax-Exempt Investment Programs:

      In the normal course of business, we structure and sell certificated interests in pools of tax-exempt investment-grade assets, principally to our mutual fund customers. We utilizestructure these pools as partnership trusts, whichand the trusts are structuredrecorded in our consolidated statement of condition as qualifying special purpose entities, or “QSPEs,” which, while not subjectmunicipal securities available for sale and related short-term borrowings. We may also provide liquidity and re-marketing services to the requirementstrusts.

              We transfer assets to the trusts from our investment securities portfolio at adjusted book value, and the trusts finance the acquisition of FIN 46(R), are governedthese assets by selling certificated interests issued by the accountingtrusts to third-party investors and reporting provisionsto State Street as residual holder. These transfers do not meet the de-recognition criteria of SFAS No. 140,Accounting for the Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Liabilities,We may also provide liquidity and remarketing services to the QSPEs. Historically, we transferred assets to these unaffiliated QSPEs from our investment securities portfolio at fair market value and treated such transfers as sales. The QSPEs financed the acquisition of these assets by selling certificated interests issued by the QSPE to third-party investors and we typically purchased a minority residual interest in these QSPEs.

      During the third quarter of 2006, we determined that off-balance sheet accounting treatment for these trusts was not appropriate. As a result, we consolidated the trusts onto our consolidated statement of condition as of September 30, 2006, resulting in an increase in assets, composed of municipal securities available for sale, and liabilities, composed of other short-term borrowings, of approximately $1.5 billion. In addition, wetherefore are recorded a cumulative gain of $15 million in trading services revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The consolidation of these trusts did not change the economic substance of the programs, and its impact was not material to consolidated financial statements of prior periods. The consolidation of the trusts is reported as a non-cash acquisition of investment securities available for sale in our consolidated statement of cash flows.

      financial statements. The trusts had a weighted-average life of approximately 8.6 years at December 31, 2007, compared to approximately 4.9 years at December 31, 2006, compared to approximately 6.2 years at December 31, 2005.2006. Under separate agreements, we provide standby bond purchase agreements to most of these trusts, which obligate State Street to acquire the bondscertificated interests at par value in the event that the re-marketing agent is unable to place the certificated interests of the trusts with investors. The standby bond purchase agreements are subject to early termination by State Street in the event of a shortfall in the required over-collateralization in the trust. As the primaryOur obligations as standby bond purchase agreement provider we are not obligated to acquire bondsterminate in the event of the following credit events: payment default, bankruptcy of issuer or credit enhancement provider, imposition of taxability, or downgrade of an asset held by the trust below investment grade. Our commitments to the trusts under these standby bond purchase agreements totaled $1.68$3.21 billion at December 31, 2006,2007, none of which were utilized at period-end. In the event that our obligations under these agreements are triggered, no material impact to our consolidated financial conditionposition or results of operations wouldis expected to occur, because the bonds are already recorded at fair value in our consolidated statement of condition.

      Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs:

      We established anour first asset-backed commercial paper program in 1992.1992, primarily to satisfy the demand from our institutional customers, particularly mutual fund customers, for commercial paper for their money market funds. Currently, we administer four third-party owned, special purpose, multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper programs, or “conduits,”referred to as "conduits," that purchase financial assets with various asset classificationsinstruments, predominantly securities, from a variety of third-parties.the capital markets. These conduits, which are structured as special purpose, bankruptcy-remote limited liability companies,entities, provide access to the efficiencies of the global commercial paper markets, which have historically offered an attractive cost of financing relative to bank-based borrowing. Asset purchases byour customers with short-term investment products for cash management and other investment purposes. Our relationship with the conduits are funded by issuing commercial paper, which is supported by liquidity asset purchase agreements and backup liquidity lines of credit, the majority of which are provided by us. In addition, we provide direct credit support to the conduits in the form of standby letters of credit. All fees are charged based on market price. The sellers continue to service the transferred assets and absorb the first losses of the conduits by providing collateral in the form of excess assets also known as over-collaterization.

      contractual. We hold no direct or indirect equity ownership in these conduits. These entities typicallyentities.

              Under FIN 46(R), the conduits meet the definition of a variable interest entityentities. In applying the provisions of FIN 46(R), we apply a financial model, referred to as defined by FIN 46(R). We arean "expected loss model," to the activities of the conduits to determine the primary beneficiaries of the conduits. As a result of application of this model, we concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary of thesethe conduits, as


      defined by FIN 46(R), and as a result, of the issuance of subordinated notes by the conduits to third-party investors, and we do not record these conduits in our consolidated financial statements. The conduits have third-party investors who hold subordinated debt, referred to as "first-



      loss notes," issued by the conduits. These investors are in a first-loss position and bear the majority of the expected losses, as defined by FIN 46(R), of the conduits. We re-perform our expected loss model at least quarterly, and more frequently if specific events occur.

              During the second half of 2007, as a result of disruption in the global fixed-income securities markets, we reviewed the underlying assumptions incorporated in our FIN 46(R) expected loss model. We concluded as of December 31, 2007, that our model assumptions were appropriate and were reflective of market participant assumptions, and appropriately considered the probability of, and potential for, the recurrence of recent events. At December 31, 20062007 and 2005,December 31, 2006, total assets in these unconsolidated conduits were $25.25$28.76 billion and $17.90$25.25 billion, respectively. Our off-balance sheet commitments to thesethe conduits are disclosed in Notenote 10.

              The conduit structure is not designed to distribute interest-rate and/or foreign currency risk to commercial paper investors or the subordinated note holders. Accordingly, the conduits take measures to mitigate these risks through the use of derivative financial instruments. These derivatives are generally with State Street Bank as a counterparty, and are based upon market observable rates and indices. Among the most significant derivatives are basis swaps, whereby the conduit receives its cost of funds and pays LIBOR plus a spread to State Street Bank. This structure mitigates a portion of the risk of erosion in the expected spread between the conduits' cost of funds and the respective currency LIBOR rate.

      Collateralized Debt Obligations:

      We manage a series of collateralized debt obligations, or “CDOs.”referred to as "CDOs." A CDO is a managed investment vehicle which purchases a portfolio of diversified highly-rated assets. A CDO funds purchases through the issuance of several tranches of debt and equity, the repayment and return of which are linked to the performance of the assets in the CDO. Typically, our involvement is as collateral manager. We may also invest in a small percentage of the debt issued. These entities typically meet the definition of a variable interest entity as defined by FIN 46(R). We are not the primary beneficiary of these CDOs, as defined by FIN 46(R), and do not record these CDOs in our consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, total assets in these CDOs were $6.73 billion and $3.48 billion, and $2.73 billion, respectively.

      During 2005, we acquired and transferred $60 million of investment securities from our available-for-sale portfolio into a CDO. This transfer, which was executed at fair market value in exchange for cash, was treated as a sale. We did not acquire or transfer any investment securities to a CDO during 2007 or 2006.

      Treasury Stock:

      During the first quarter of 2006, we purchased 3 million shares of our common stock under a program authorized by        In March 2007, our Board of Directors or “Board,” in 2005. On March 16, 2006, the Board authorized a new program for the purchase of up to 15 million shares of our common stock for general corporate purposes, including mitigating the dilutive impact of shares issued under employee benefit programs, and terminatedplans, in addition to its previous authorization in 2006 of up to 15 million shares, of which 12.2 million shares remained available for purchase at December 31, 2006. We generally employ third-party broker-dealers to acquire shares on the 2005 program.open market in connection with our stock purchase programs.

              Under this new program,the above-described authorization, during 2007 we purchased 2.8repurchased 13.4 million shares of our common stock, during 2006, and as of December 31, 2006, 12.2an additional .6 million shares werein January 2008, in connection with a $1 billion accelerated share repurchase program that concluded on January 18, 2008. As of that date, approximately 13.2 million shares remained available for purchase. We utilize third-party broker-dealers to acquire common shares onfuture purchase under the open market in the execution of our stock purchase program.combined authorization described above.

      In addition, our common shares may be acquired for other deferred compensation plans, held by an external trustee, that are not part of the common stock purchase program. As of December 31, 2006,2007, on a cumulative basis, approximately 395,000396,500 shares have been purchased and are held in trust. These shares are recorded as treasury stock in our consolidated statement of condition.


      During 2007, 2006 2005 and 2004,2005, we purchased and recorded as treasury stock a total of 13.4 million shares, 5.8 million shares 13.1 million shares and 4.113.1 million shares, respectively, at an average historical cost per share of approximately $75, $63 $51 and $43,$51, respectively.

      Note 13.    Equity-Based Compensation

      The        We have a 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, was approved by shareholders in April 2006, andwith 20,000,000 shares of common stock were approved for issuance for stock and stock-based awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock and performance awards. In addition, up to 8,000,000 shares from our 1997 Equity Incentive Plan, that were available to issue or become available due to cancellations and forfeitures, may be awarded under the 2006 Plan. The 1997 Plan expired on December 18, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, 1,305,420 shares from the 1997 Plan have been added to and may be awarded from the 2006 Plan. As of December 31, 2006, 106,045 awards2007, 6,369,222 shares have been madeawarded under the 2006 Plan. We have stock options outstanding from previous plans, including the 1997 Plan, under which no further grants can be made.

      The exercise price of non-qualified and incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights may not be less than the fair value of such shares at the date of grant. Stock options and stock appreciation rights issued under the 2006 Plan and the prior 1997 Plan generally vest over four years and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. For restricted stock awards issued under the 2006 Plan and the prior 1997 Plan, stock certificates are issued at the time of grant and recipients have dividend and voting rights. In general, these grants vest over three years. For deferred stock awards issued under the 2006 Plan and the prior 1997 Plan, no stock is issued at the time of grant. Generally, these grants vest over two-, three- or four-year periods. Performance awards granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and the prior 1997 Plan are earned over a performance period based on achievement of goals, generally over two- to three-yearfour-year periods. Payment for performance awards is made in shares of our common stock or in cash equal to theits fair market value of our common stock,per share, based on certain financial ratios after the conclusion of each performance period.


      We record compensation expense, equal to the estimated fair value of the options on the grant date, on a straight-line basis over the options’options' vesting period. We use a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options granted.

      We generally utilize treasury shares to satisfy the issuance of stock under our equity incentive plans. We do not have a specific policy concerning purchases of our common stock to satisfy stock issuances, including exercises of options. We have a general policy concerning purchases of stock to meet common stock issuances under our employee benefit plans, including option exercises and other corporate purposes. Various factors determine the amount and timing of our purchases of our common stock, including our capital requirements, the number of shares we expect to issue under employee benefit plans, market conditions (including the trading price of our common stock), and legal considerations. These factors can change at any time, and there can be no assurance as to the number of shares of common stock we will purchase or when we will purchase them.


      Note 14.    Regulatory Matters

      Regulatory Capital:

      We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our consolidated financial condition. Under regulatory capital adequacy guidelines, we must meet specific capital requirements that involve quantitative measures of our consolidated assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet exposures as calculated underin accordance with regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

      Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require State Street and State Street Bank to maintain minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. The risk-based capital ratios are Tiertier 1 capital and total capital divided by adjusted total risk-weighted assets and market-risk equivalents, and the Tiertier 1 leverage ratio is Tiertier 1 capital divided by adjusted quarterly average assets. As of December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, State Street and State Street Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

      As of December 31, 2006,2007, State Street Bank was categorized as “well capitalized”"well capitalized" under the regulatory framework. To be categorized as “well"well capitalized," State Street Bank must exceed the “well capitalized”"well capitalized" guideline ratios, as set forth in the table, and meet certain other requirements. State Street Bank exceeded all “well capitalized”"well capitalized" requirements as of December 31, 20062007 and 2005.2006. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 20062007 that management believes have changed the capital category of State Street Bank.

      State Street Bank must meet the regulatory designation of “well capitalized”"well capitalized" in order for us to maintain our status as a financial holding company, including maintaining a minimum Tiertier 1 risk-based capital ratio (Tier(tier 1 capital divided by adjusted total risk-weighted assets and market-risk equivalents) of 6%, a minimum total risk-based capital ratio (total capital divided by adjusted total risk-weighted assets and market-risk equivalents) of 10%, and a Tiertier 1 leverage ratio (Tier(tier 1 capital divided by adjusted quarterly average assets) of 5%. In addition, Federal Reserve Regulation Y defines “well capitalized”"well capitalized" for a bank holding company such as us for purposes of determining


      eligibility for a streamlined review process for acquisition proposals. For such Regulation Y purposes, “well capitalized”"well capitalized" requires us to maintain a minimum Tiertier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 10%.


      Cash, Dividend, Loan and Other Restrictions:

      During 2006,2007, our bank subsidiaries were required by the Federal Reserve to maintain average cash reserve balances of $103$53 million. In addition, federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid by bank subsidiaries to a parent holding company. For 2007,2008, aggregate dividends by State Street Bank without prior regulatory approval are limited to approximately $766 million$1.78 billion of its undistributed earnings at December 31, 2006,2007, plus an additional amount equal to its net profits, as defined, for 20072008 up to the date of any dividend.

      The Federal Reserve Act requires that extensions of credit by State Street Bank to certain affiliates, including the parent company, be secured by specific collateral, that the extension of credit to any one affiliate be limited to 10% of its capital and surplus (as defined), and that extensions of credit to all such affiliates be limited to 20% of its capital and surplus.

      At December 31, 2006,2007, consolidated retained earnings included $230$295 million representing undistributed earnings of affiliates that are accounted for using the equity method.

      Note 15.    Derivative Financial Instruments

      We use derivatives to support customers’customers' needs, conduct trading activities, and manage our interest-rate and currency risk.

      As part of our trading activities, we assume positions in both the foreign exchange and interest-rate markets by buying and selling cash instruments and using derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign exchange and interest-rate options, and interest-rate swaps. In the aggregate, long and short foreign exchange forward positions are matched closely to minimize currency and interest-rate risk. All foreign exchange contracts are valued daily at current market rates.

      Interest-rate contracts involve an agreement with a counterparty to exchange cash flows based on the movement of an underlying interest-rate index. An interest-rate swap agreement involves the exchange of a series of interest payments, either at a fixed or variable rate, based upon the notional amount without the exchange of the underlying principal amount. An interest-rate option contract provides the purchaser, for a premium, the right, but not the obligation, to receive an interest rate based upon a predetermined notional value during a specified period. An interest-rate futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell, at a future date, a financial instrument at a contracted price; it may be settled in cash or through the delivery of the contracted instrument.

      Foreign exchange contracts involve an agreement to exchange one currency for another currency at an agreed-upon rate and settlement date. Foreign exchange contracts generally consist of cross-currency swap agreements and foreign exchange forward and spot contracts.


      The following table summarizes the contractual, or notional, amounts of derivative financial instruments held or issued for trading and asset and liability management as of December 31:

      In connection with our asset and liability management activities, we have executed interest-rate swap agreements designated as fair value and cash flow hedges to manage interest-rate risk. The notional values of these interest-rate swap agreements and the related assets or liabilities being hedged were as follows at December 31:are presented in the following table. Hedge ineffectiveness for 2007, 2006 and 2005, recorded in processing fees and other revenue, was not material.

      For the years ended December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, the overall weighted-average interest rate for interest-bearing time deposits was 5.02%5.42% and 3.23%5.02%, respectively, on a contractual basis, and 3.52%5.47% and 3.19%3.52%, respectively, including the effects of hedges.



      (2)
      For the year ended December 31, 2006, the2007, fair value hedges of long-term debt decreasedincreased the carrying value of long-term debt presented in our consolidated statement of condition by $9$19 million, and infor the year ended December 31, 2005 it increased2006, decreased the carrying value by $18$9 million.



      (3)
      For the years ended December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, the overall weighted-average interest rate for long-term debt was 6.72%6.55% and 6.58%6.72%, respectively, on a contractual basis, and 6.77%6.62% and 5.63%6.77%, respectively, including the effects of hedges.


      For cash flow hedges, any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments remain in accumulated other comprehensive income and are generally recorded in our consolidated statement of income in future periods when earnings are affected by the variability of the hedged cash flow. Hedge ineffectiveness recorded in processing fees and other revenue was not material in 2006, 2005 or 2004.

      We have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of 100€100 million, or approximately $132$146 million, to hedge a portion of our net foreign investment in non-U.S.


      subsidiaries. As a result, approximately $8 million and $18 million of after-tax translation losses and $37 million of after-tax translation gains for the years ended December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively, on the hedge contracts were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

      Foreign exchange trading revenue related to foreign exchange contracts was $802 million, $611 million $468 million and $420$468 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and 2004, respectively. For other financial instrument contracts, recorded in trading services revenue were gains of $18 million in 2006, gains of $4 million in 2005 and losses of $25 million in 2004. Future cash requirements, if any, related to foreign exchange contracts are represented by the gross amount of currencies to be exchanged under each contract unless we and the counterparty have agreed to pay or receive the net contractual settlement amount on the settlement date. Future cash requirements on other financial instruments are limited to the net amounts payable under the agreements.

      Note 17.    Employee Benefits

      State Street Bank and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries participate in a non-contributory, tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. Effective January 1, 2008, this plan was amended. After December 31, 2007, there will be no further employer contribution credits to the defined benefit pension plan. Employee account balances will continue to earn annual interest credits until retirement. In addition to this primarythe defined benefit pension plan, we have non-qualified unfunded supplemental retirement plans, or “SERPs,”referred to as "SERPs," that provide certain officers with defined pension benefits in excess of allowable qualified plan limits. Non-U.S. employees participate in local defined benefit plans.

      State Street Bank and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries participate in a post-retirement plan that provides health care and insurance benefits for retired employees.

      The accumulated benefit obligation for all of our U.S. defined benefit pension plans was $613$696 million and $581$613 million at December 31, 2006,2007, and 2005,2006, respectively.

      To develop the assumption of the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, we considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This analysis resulted in the determination of the assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets of 8.00%7.50% for the year ended December 31, 2006.2007.

      For the tax-qualified U.S. defined benefit pension plan, the asset allocationallocations as of December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, and the strategic target allocation for 2007,2008, by asset category, were as follows:

      The preceding strategic target asset allocation was last amended effective July 31, 2006. Consistent with that target allocation, the plan should generate a real return above inflation, and superior to that of a benchmark index consisting of a combination of appropriate capital marketsmarket indices weighted in the same proportions as the plan’splan's strategic target asset allocation. Equities included domestic and international publicly-traded common, preferred and convertible securities. Fixed incomeFixed-income securities included domestic and international corporate and government debt securities, as well as asset-backed securities and private debt. The “other”"other" category included real estate, alternative investments and cash and cash equivalents. Derivative financial instruments are an acceptable alternative to investing in these types of securities, but may not be used to leverage the plan’splan's portfolio.

      Expected employer contributions to the tax-qualified U.S. and Non-U.S. defined benefit pension plan, SERPs and post-retirement plan for the year ending December 31, 20072008 are $14$12 million, $7$6 million and $8$7 million, respectively.

      For those defined benefit plans that hadhave accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets as of December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, the accumulated benefit obligations were $326are $44 million and $262$326 million, respectively, and the plan assets wereare $21 million and $200 million, and $163 million, respectively.

      For those defined benefit plans that hadhave projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets as of December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, the projected benefit obligations were $411are $316 million and $866$411 million, respectively, and the plan assets wereare $237 million and $204 million, and $706 million, respectively.

      If trend rates in health care costs were increased by 1%, the post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2006,2007, would have increased 7%6%, and the aggregate expense for service and interest costs for 20062007 would have increased 13%9%. Conversely, if trend rates in health care costs were reduced by 1%, the post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2006,2007, would have decreased 6%, and the aggregate expense for service and interest costs for 20062007 would have decreased 11%8%.

      Certain of our U.S. employees are eligible to contribute a portion of their pre-tax salary to a 401(k) savings plan and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, or “ESOP.”referred to as an "ESOP." Our matching portion of these contributions is paid in cash, and the related expense was $25 million for 2007, $20 million for 2006 and $21 million for 2005 and $16 million for 2004.2005. In addition, employees in certain non-U.S. offices participate in other local plans. Expenses related to these plans were $33 million, $32 million and $39 million for 2007, 2006 and $31 million for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

      The ESOP is a non-leveraged plan. Compensation cost is equal to the contribution called for by the plan formula and is equal to the cash contributed for the purchase of shares on the open market or the fair value of the shares contributed from treasury stock. Dividends on shares held by the ESOP are charged to retained earnings, and shares are treated as outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share.

      Note 18.Occupancy Expense and Information Systems and Communications Expense

      Occupancy expense and information systems and communications expense includedincludes expense for depreciation of buildings, leasehold improvements, computers, equipment and furniture and fixtures. Total depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and 2004 was $319 million, $309 million $315 million and $301$315 million, respectively.

      As of December 31, 2006, accumulated amortization of assets under capital leases was $83 million. Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases and the costs of operating leases for office space are recorded in occupancy expense. The costs of operating leases related to computers and equipment are recorded in information systems and communications expense.

      We lease approximately 865,000 square feet at One Lincoln Street, an office building located in Boston, Massachusetts, and a related 366,000 square-foot underground parking garage, under 20-year, non-cancelable capital leases expiring in September 2023. As of December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, an aggregate net book value of $447$421 million and $474$447 million, respectively, for the capital leases was recorded in premises and equipment in our consolidated statement of condition, and the related liability was recorded in long-term debt. Capital lease asset amortization is recorded in occupancy expense over the lease terms. Lease payments are recorded as a reduction of the liability, with a portion recorded as imputed interest expense. For the years ended December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, interest expense related to these capital lease obligations, recorded in net interest revenue, was $36 million and $37 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and $382006, accumulated amortization of assets under capital leases was $110 million and $84 million, respectively.


      We have entered into non-cancelable operating leases for premises and equipment. Future minimum rental commitments in the preceding table have been reduced by aggregate sublease rental commitments


      of $151 million for operating leases and $64 million for capital leases. Nearly all leases include renewal options. Costs related to operating leases for office space are recorded in occupancy expense. Costs related to operating leases for computers and equipment are recorded in information systems and communications expense.

      Total rental expense, net of sublease revenue, amounted to $199 million, $179 million and $181 million in 2007, 2006 and $190 million in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Rental expense has been reduced by sublease revenue of $15 million, $13 million $10 million and $20$10 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

              During 2007, we terminated an operating lease related to one of our office buildings in Boston. The lease was terminated in connection with an overall evaluation of our requirements for office space as a result of our acquisition of Investors Financial. The termination of the lease resulted in the recognition of a charge of approximately $91 million, which was included in the merger and 2004, respectively.integration costs recorded in connection with the acquisition. During 2005, and 2004, we entered into sub-lease agreements for our headquarters building and other office space in Boston. These sub-lease agreements resulted in the recognition of charges to occupancy expense of $26 million and $16 million for the yearsyear ended December 31, 20052005.

              The following is a summary of future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable capital and 2004, respectively.operating leases as of December 31, 2007. Future minimum rental commitments have been reduced by aggregate sublease rental commitments of $77 million for capital leases and $138 million for operating leases. The increase in future lease payments compared to amounts reported in prior years resulted from the addition of approximately 1 million square feet of office space in connection with our acquisition of Investors Financial.

      Current and deferred income taxes from continuing operations for 2005 and 2004 have been reclassified to reflect tax returns as actually filed.        The income tax expense (benefit) related to net realized securities gains or losses was $3 million, $6 million and $(1) million for 2007, 2006 and $10 million for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to operations located outside the U. S.U.S. was $1.13 billion, $759 million and $494 million for 2007, 2006 and $424 million for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

      For those foreign subsidiaries for which accumulated earnings of the subsidiary are considered to be permanently invested, no provision for deferred U.S. income taxes is recorded. The total undistributed


      retained earnings of these subsidiaries was $324$561 million at December 31, 2006.2007. If the accumulated earnings in these subsidiaries had been temporarily invested, a deferred U.S. tax liability of $56$107 million would have been recorded.

      Income tax expense from continuing operations for 2006 included an additional provision of $35 million primarily related to the impact of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act or “TIPRA,” on income generated from certain of our leveraged leases, more fully described below, and $46 million related to the potential resolution of issues with the IRS concerning our LILO and SILO transactions. Additional information about issuescontingencies related to LILO and SILO transactions is in Notenote 10. Income tax expense from continuing operations for 2004 included a cumulative benefit of $18 million resulting from a change in the effective state tax rate applied to leveraged lease transactions.

      During 2006, TIPRA repealed the federal income tax exclusion, effective on January 1, 2007, which was previously allowed for a portion of the income generated from certain leveraged leases of aircraft. As a result of this legislation, and in accordance with existing lease accounting standards, we recalculated the allocation of the components of leasing-related income over the terms of the affected leases and recorded a non-cash charge to income tax expense of approximately $35 million primarily related to the impact of this legislation.


      Significant components of deferred tax liabilities and assets were as follows at December 31:

      Management considers the valuation allowance adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. At December 31, 2006, we had non-U.S. and state tax loss carryforwards of $1 million that expire beginning in 2007.

      See Note 10Included in the balance at December 31, 2007 is $285 million of tax positions for informationwhich the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the IRS’s reviewtiming of our federalsuch deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period. Settlements include amounts remitted during 2007 and identified amounts to be remitted in 2008.


              We record interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax returnsexpense. We recognized interest expense of approximately $38 million and contingencies related$46 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We had approximately $83 million and $95 million accrued at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for the payment of interest. The earliest year open to LILO and SILO transactions.examination in our major jurisdictions is 2000.

      Note 22.    Line of Business Information

      We report two lines of business: Investment Servicing and Investment Management. Given our services and management organization, the results of operations for these lines of business are not necessarily comparable with those of other companies, including companies in the financial services industry.

      Investment Servicing provides services for U.S. mutual funds, collective investment funds worldwide, corporate and public retirement plans, insurance companies, foundations, endowments, and other investment pools. Products include custody, accounting, daily pricing and administration; master trust and


      master custody; recordkeeping; foreign exchange, brokerage and other trading services; securities finance; deposit and short-term investment facilities; loans and lease financing; investment manager and hedge fund manager operations outsourcing; and performance, risk and compliance analytics to support institutional investors. We provide shareholder services, which include mutual fund and collective investment fund shareholder accounting, through 50%-owned affiliates, Boston Financial Data Services, Inc. and the International Financial Data Services group of companies.

      Investment Management offers a broad array of services for managing financial assets, including investment management and investment research, primarily for institutional investors worldwide. These services include passive and active U.S. and non-U.S. equity and fixed incomefixed-income investment management strategies, and other related services, such as securities finance.

      Revenue and expenses are directly charged or allocated to the lines of business through management information systems. We price our products and services on the basis of overall customer relationships and other factors; therefore, revenue may not necessarily reflect market pricing on products within the business lines in the same way it would for independent business entities. Assets



      and liabilities are allocated according to rules that support management’smanagement's strategic and tactical goals. Capital is allocated based on risk-weighted assets employed and management’smanagement's judgment. Capital allocations may not be representative of the capital that might be required if these lines of business were independent business entities.

      The following is a summary of line of business results. These resultsResults presented exclude the income (loss) from discontinued operations related to our divestiture of Bel Air, more fullywhich is discussed in Notenote 2. The “Other/One-Time”amount presented in the "Other/One-Time" column for 2007 represents merger and integration costs recorded in connection with our acquisition of Investors Financial. The amount presented in the same column for 2005 includes therepresents additional gain from our sale of the PAM business, more fullyPrivate Asset Management business. The amount presented in the net charge line items are associated with the underperformance of certain active fixed-income strategies managed by SSgA, discussed in Note 2. For 2004, this column includes merger and integration costs related to the GSS acquisition.note 10.

      Note 23.    Non-U.S. Activities

      We define non-U.S. activities as those revenue-producing assets and transactionsbusiness activities that arise from customers domiciled outside the United States. Due to the nature of our business, precise segregation of U.S. and non-U.S. activities is not possible. Subjective judgments have been usedapplied to arrive atdetermine operating results related to non-U.S. activities, including the application of transfer pricing and asset and liability management policies. Interest expense allocations are based on the average cost of short-term borrowed funds.

      The following table summarizes our non-U.S. operating results for the years ended December 31, and assets as of December 31, based on the domicile location of our customers:

      Note 24.    Fair Values of Financial Instruments

      Fair value estimates are generally subjective in nature, and are made as of a specific point in time based on the characteristics of the financial instruments and relevant market information. Disclosure of fair values is not required for certain items, such as lease financing, equity method investments, obligations for pension and other postretirement plans, premises and equipment, other intangible assets and income tax assets and liabilities. Accordingly, aggregate fair value amounts presented do not purport to represent, and should not be considered representative of, our underlying “market”"market" or franchise value. In addition, because of potential differences in methodologies and assumptions used to estimate fair values, our fair values should not be compared to those of other financial institutions.

      We use the following methods to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

      ·

        For financial instruments that have quoted market prices, those quoted prices are used to determine fair value.

        ·

        Financial instruments that have no defined maturity, have a remaining maturity of 180 days or less, or reprice frequently to a market rate are assumed to have a fair value that approximates reported value, after taking into consideration any applicable credit risk.


        ·

        If no quoted market prices are available, financial instruments are valued using third-party pricing services, or by discounting the expected cash flow(s) using an estimated current market interest rate for the financial instrument.

        ·

        For derivative financial instruments, fair value is estimated as the amount at which an asset or liability could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation or sale.


        The short maturityduration of our assets and liabilities results in a significant number of financial instruments for which fair value equals or closely approximates the value reported in our consolidated statement of condition. These financial instruments are reported in the following captions in theour consolidated statement of condition: cash and due from banks; interest-bearing deposits with banks; securities purchased under resale agreements; accrued income receivable; deposits; securities sold under repurchase agreements; federal funds purchased; and other short-term borrowings. The fair value of trading account assets equals their reported value. In addition, due to the relatively short-term nature of our net loans (excluding leases), substantially all of which are due within one year, we have determined that their fair value approximates the reported value. Loan commitments have no reported value because terms are at prevailing market rates.

        (1)
        Net interest margin is fully taxable-equivalent net interest revenue divided by average interest-earning assets.



        (2)
        Fully taxable-equivalent revenue is a method of presentation in which the tax savings achieved by investing in tax-exempt securities are included in interest revenue with a corresponding charge to income tax expense. This method facilitates the comparison of the performance of tax-exempt and taxable securities. The adjustment is computed using a federal income tax rate of 35%, adjusted for applicable state income taxes, net of the related federal-tax benefit. The fully taxable-equivalent adjustments included in interest revenue above were $58 million, $45 million $42 million and $45$42 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and 2004, respectively.



        (3)
        Non-U.S. noninterest-bearing deposits were $1.02 billion, $326 million $122 million and $71$122 million at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, and 2004, respectively.


        The table below summarizes changes in fully taxable-equivalent interest revenue and interest expense due to changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and due to changes in interest rates. Changes attributed to both volumes and rates have been allocated based on the proportion of change in each category.

        ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES: CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

        State Street has established and maintains disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that material information relating to State Street and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to State Street management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. For the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006,2007, State Street carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of State Street management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of State Street’sStreet's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that State Street’sStreet's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2006.2007.

        State Street has also established and maintains internal control over financial reporting as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the ordinary course of business, State Street routinely enhances its internal controls and procedures for financial reporting by either upgrading its current systems or implementing new systems.

During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006,2007, there was no change in State Street’sStreet's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, State Street’sStreet's internal control over financial reporting.

        Management’sManagement's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        The management of State Street is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements and other financial information contained in this Form 10-K. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management has designed business processes and internal controls and has also established and is responsible for maintaining a business culture that fosters financial integrity and accurate reporting. To these ends, management maintains a comprehensive system of internal controls intended to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of State Street in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. State Street’sStreet's accounting policies and internal controlscontrol over financial reporting, established and maintained by management, are under the general oversight of State Street’sStreet's Board of Directors, including State Street’sStreet's Examining and Audit Committee.

        Management has made a comprehensive review, evaluation, and assessment of State Street’sStreet's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006.2007. The standard measures adopted by management


        in making its evaluation are the measures in the Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO Framework).


        Based upon its review and evaluation, management has concluded that State Street’sStreet's internal control over financial reporting is effective at December 31, 2006,2007, and that there were no material weaknesses in State Street’sStreet's internal control over financial reporting as of that date.

        Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, which has audited and reported on the consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-K, has issued its written attestation report on management’sits assessment of State Street’sStreet's internal control over financial reporting which follows this report.


        Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
        STATE STREET CORPORATION

        We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that State Street Corporation maintained effectiveCorporation's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006,2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). State Street Corporation’sCorporation'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.reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’scompany's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit 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. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment,assessing the risk that a weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        A company’scompany'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’scompany'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 assets of the company; (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 company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’scompany'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.


        In our opinion, management’s assessment that State Street Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, State Street Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006,2007, based on the COSO criteria.

        We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of condition of State Street Corporation as of December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20062007 of State Street Corporation and our report dated February 15, 200714, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

This award is intended to reward Mr. Hunt for his individual accomplishments and to align his compensation more closely with the compensation levels and mix of pay provided to comparable executives in peer companies used as comparators for compensation purposes.  The supplemental award will not qualify for the performance-based compensation exception to the federal income tax deduction limit of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, may not be deductible for income tax purposes in whole or in part.

        One compensation plan under which equity securities of State Street are authorized for issuance has been adopted without the approval of shareholders.

        In 2001, the Board adopted the State Street Corporation Savings-Related Stock Plan, or “SAYE"SAYE Plan," for employees in the United Kingdom. Under the SAYE Plan, employee-participants could commit to save a specified amount from after-tax pay for a fixed period (either three or five years). Savings are deducted automatically. At the end of the period chosen, a tax-free bonus is added by State Street to the savings amount (the level of the bonus depends on the length of the fixed period of



        savings), and participants have the option to receive the savings and bonus amount in cash, or to use the amount to purchase common stock from State Street at an exercise price equal to the market price of the stock as of the date of joining the SAYE Plan less a discount fixed by State Street at the date of joining. For participants joining the SAYE Plan in 2001, the discount was 15%. There was no discount for participants joining in 2002. Options granted under the SAYE Plan are non-transferable. If a participant withdraws from participation before the end of the fixed period, the options to purchase stock are forfeited. If a participant terminates during the period due to retirement, disability, redundancy or sale of the employer from State Street’sStreet's group, the options may be exercised within six months of the occurrence, or one year if by reason of death. Under the SAYE Plan, an aggregate of 170,000 shares of common stock was authorized for issuance. The SAYE Plan has been discontinued and no new participations under the SAYE Plan are permitted. At December 31, 2006,2007, a total of 24,0001,777 shares of common stock are eligible to be purchased under outstanding options.

        121




        In addition, individual directors who are not our employees have received annual awards of deferred stock for a number of shares based on the amount of their annual retainer, payable after the director leaves the Board or attains a specific age. The number of deferred shares includes, in the case of certain directors, additional deferred share amounts in respect of an accrual under a terminated retirement plan, and for all directors is increased to reflect dividends paid on the common stock. Also, directors who are not our employees may receive their annual retainer payable at their option either in shares of our common stock or cash, and may further elect to defer either 50% or 100% until after termination of their services as a director. The number of deferred shares is increased to reflect dividends paid on the common stock. A total of 211,000Deferred stock awards totaling 229,149 shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2006;2007; awards made through June 30, 2003 have not been approved by shareholders. Awards of deferred stock made or non-deferred retainer shares paid to individual directors after June 30, 2003 have been or will be made under our 1997 or 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, approved by shareholders.
