Management’s Discussion and Analysis

OVERVIEW

Earnings SummaryU.S. Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) reported net income of $1,121 million for the second quarter of 2005, compared with $1,037 million for the second quarter of 2004. Net income of $.60 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2005 was higher than the same period of 2004 by $.06 (11.1 percent). Return on average assets and return on average equity were 2.23 percent and 22.7 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2005, compared with returns of 2.19 percent and 21.9 percent, respectively, for the second quarter of 2004. The Company’s results for the second quarter of 2005 improved over the same period of 2004, as net income rose by $84 million (8.1 percent), primarily due to growth in fee-based products and services, reduced credit costs and lower tax expense. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company recognized a $53 million impairment of its mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) asset, reflecting lower longer-term interest rates in the second quarter of 2005, compared with the recognition of $171 million reparation of its MSR asset in the second quarter of 2004. Also included in the second quarter of 2005 results was a $54 million charge related to a completed tender offer for debt securities and a $94 million reduction in income tax expense related to the resolution of federal tax examinations covering substantially all of the Company’s legal entities for all years through 2002.

     Total net revenue, on a taxable-equivalent basis for the second quarter of 2005 was $281 million (9.3 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2004, primarily reflecting 8.9 percent growth in fee-based revenue across the majority of categories, expansion in payment processing businesses and a $173 million favorable variance in securities gains (losses), partially offset by a 1.0 percent reduction in net interest income.

     Total noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2005 was $362 million (29.4 percent) higher than the second quarter of 2004, primarily reflecting the $224 million unfavorable change in the valuation of MSRs and the $54 million charge related to the Company’s recent tender offer for certain subordinated and trust preferred debt securities. In addition, expenses reflected incremental costs related to expanding the payment processing businesses, investments in in-store branches, marketing initiatives and higher pension costs from a year ago. The efficiency ratio (the ratio of noninterest expense to taxable-equivalent net revenue excluding net securities gains or losses) was 48.3 percent for the second quarter of 2005, compared with 38.6 percent for the second quarter of 2004.

     The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2005 was $144 million, a decrease of $60 million (29.4 percent) from the second quarter of 2004. The decrease in the provision for credit losses year-over-year reflected a decrease in total net charge-offs. Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2005 were $144 million, compared with $204 million in the second quarter of 2004. The decline in losses from a year ago was primarily the result of declining levels of nonperforming loans, continuing collection efforts and improving economic conditions. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

     The Company reported net income of $2,192 million for the first six months of 2005, compared with $2,045 million for the first six months of 2004. Net income of $1.17 per diluted share in the first six months of 2005 was higher than the same period of 2004 by $.11 (10.4 percent). Return on average assets and return on average equity were 2.22 percent and 22.3 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2005, compared with returns of 2.16 percent and 21.3 percent, respectively, for the first six months of 2004. The Company’s results for the first six months of 2005 improved over the same period of 2004, as net income rose by $147 million (7.2 percent), primarily due to growth in fee-based products and services and reduced credit costs. During the first six months of 2005, the Company recognized nominal reparation of its MSR asset, compared with the recognition of a $62 million reparation in the first six months of 2004. The Company had net securities losses of $58 million during the first six months of 2005, compared with net securities losses of $172 million in the same period of 2004.

     Total net revenue, on a taxable-equivalent basis for the first six months of 2005 was $317 million (5.2 percent) higher than the first six months of 2004, primarily reflecting 9.1 percent growth in fee-based revenue across the majority of fee categories, expansion in payment processing businesses and a $114 million

U.S. Bancorp 3

favorable variance in securities gains (losses), partially offset by a 1.3 percent reduction in net interest income.

     Total noninterest expense in the first six months of 2005 was $238 million (8.9 percent) higher than the first six months of 2004. Expenses reflected incremental costs related to expanding the payment processing businesses, investments in in-store branches, marketing initiatives, higher pension costs from a year ago and the $61 million unfavorable change in the valuation of MSRs. The efficiency ratio (the ratio of noninterest expense to taxable-equivalent net revenue excluding net securities gains or losses) was 45.1 percent for the first six months of 2005, compared with 42.7 percent for the first six months of 2004.

     The provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2005 was $316 million, a decrease of $123 million (28.0 percent) from the same period of 2004. The decrease in the provision for credit losses year-over-year reflected a decrease in total net charge-offs. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2005 were $316 million, compared with $438 million for the first six months of 2004. The decline in losses from a year ago was primarily the result of declining levels of nonperforming loans, continuing collection efforts and improving economic conditions. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS

Net Interest IncomeNet interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $1,761 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with $1,779 million in the second quarter of 2004. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $3,512 million in the first six months of 2005, compared with $3,558 million in the first six months of 2004. Average earning assets increased $9.7 billion (5.8 percent) and $8.3 billion (5.0 percent) in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increase in average earning assets in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004, was primarily driven by increases in retail loans, total commercial loans and residential mortgages. The positive impact to net interest income from the growth in earning assets was more than offset by lower net interest margin. The net interest margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 was 3.99 percent and 4.03 percent, respectively, compared with 4.28 percent in both the second quarter and first six months of 2004. The year-over-year decline in the net interest margin for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 reflected the current lending environment, asset/liability management decisions and the impact of changes in the yield curve from a year ago. Compared with the same periods of 2004, credit spreads have tightened by approximately 18 basis points in the second quarter and 16 basis points in the first six months of 2005 across most lending products due to competitive pricing and a change in mix due to growth in lower spread credit products. The net interest margin also declined due to funding incremental growth with higher cost wholesale funding and asset/liability decisions designed to minimize the Company’s liability sensitive position, including reducing the duration of the securities portfolio, funding asset growth with more fixed-rate long-term debt and a 56 percent reduction in the net receive fixed swap position between June 30, 2004, and June 30, 2005. Increases in the margin benefit of deposits and net free funds helped to partially offset these factors. Refer to the “Consolidated Daily Average Balance Sheet and Related Yields and Rates” tables for further information on net interest income.

     Average loans for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 were higher by $10.1 billion (8.3 percent) and $9.5 billion (7.9 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004, driven by growth in average retail loans, total commercial loans and residential mortgages. Total commercial real estate loans for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 also increased slightly, relative to the comparable periods of 2004.

     Average investment securities in the second quarter and first six months of 2005 were $148 million (.3 percent) and $1.0 billion (2.4 percent) lower, respectively, than in the same periods of 2004. The decline principally reflected the net impact of repositioning the investment portfolio during 2004 as part of asset/liability risk management decisions to acquire variable-rate and shorter-term fixed-rate securities to reduce the effective duration of the portfolio and minimize the Company’s liability sensitive position. During the second quarter and first six months of 2005, the Company retained its mix of approximately 39 percent variable-rate securities. Refer to the “Interest Rate Risk Management” section for further information on the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates.

     Average noninterest-bearing deposits for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 were lower by $1.5 billion (4.8 percent) and $1.0 billion (3.5 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004. The year-over-year change in the average balances of

4 U.S. Bancorp

noninterest-bearing deposits was impacted by product changes in the Consumer Banking business line. In late 2004, the Company migrated approximately $1.3 billion of noninterest-bearing deposit balances to interest checking accounts as an enhancement to its Silver Elite Checking product. Average branch-based noninterest-bearing deposits in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, excluding the migration of certain high-value customers to Silver Elite Checking, were higher by approximately $200 million (1.7 percent) and $300 million (2.9 percent), respectively, over the same periods of 2004. Average noninterest-bearing deposits in other areas, including commercial banking and private client, trust and asset management, also increased year-over-year. These favorable variances were offset, however, by expected declines in average noninterest-bearing deposits in corporate banking as customers utilized their excess liquidity.

     Average total savings products declined year-over-year by $2.4 billion (4.0 percent) in the second quarter and $2.2 billon (3.5 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004, principally due to a reduction in average money market account balances, partially offset by higher interest checking accounts balances. Average branch-based interest checking deposits increased by $2.5 billion (16.5 percent) in the second quarter and $2.5 billion (17.3 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004, in part, due to the change in the Silver Elite Checking product, as well as new account growth. Average branch-based interest checking deposits, excluding Silver Elite Checking, were higher by approximately $1.2 billion (8.0 percent) in the second quarter and $1.3 billion (8.6 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. Average money market account balances declined year-over-year as a result of the Company’s deposit pricing decisions. The largest declines were in the branches, national corporate banking, and government banking. A portion of the money market balances have migrated to time deposits greater than $100,000 as rates increased on the time deposit products.

     Average time deposits greater than $100,000 grew $7.9 billion (62.7 percent) and $7.2 billion (58.3 percent) in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004, most notably in corporate banking, as customers migrated balances to higher rate deposits.

Provision for Credit LossesThe provision for credit losses for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 decreased $60 million (29.4 percent) and $123 million (28.0 percent), respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004. The decrease in the provision for credit losses year-over-year reflected a decrease in total net charge-offs. Net charge-offs for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 were $144 million and $316 million, respectively, compared with $204 million and $438 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively. The decline in losses from a year ago was primarily the result of declining levels of nonperforming loans and ongoing improvement in underwriting, collection efforts and economic conditions. Refer to “Corporate Risk Profile” for further information on the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

Noninterest IncomeNoninterest income in the second quarter and first six months of 2005 was $1,541 million and $2,923 million, respectively, compared with $1,242 million and $2,560 million in the same periods of 2004. The $299 million (24.1 percent) increase during the second quarter and $363 million (14.2 percent) increase during the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, were driven by favorable variances in securities gains (losses) and in the majority of fee income categories. The growth in credit and debit card revenue was driven by higher transaction volumes and rate changes. The corporate payment products revenue growth reflected growth in sales, card usage and the recent acquisition of a small aviation card business. ATM processing services revenue was higher primarily due to the expansion of the ATM business in May of 2005. Merchant processing services revenue was higher in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004, reflecting an increase in sales volume, new business, higher equipment fees and the expansion of business in Europe. Deposit service charges were higher in the second quarter and first six months year-over-year due to account growth and higher transaction-related fees. Other income was higher in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, primarily due to higher income from equity investments relative to the same periods of 2004. Partially offsetting these positive variances year-over-year were decreases in commercial products revenue, treasury management fees and investment products fees and commissions. Commercial products revenue declined due to reductions in loan fees and domestic standby letter of credit fees. The decrease in treasury management fees was primarily due to higher earnings credit on customers’ compensating balances. The decline in investment products fees and commissions reflected lower sales volume in the second quarter of 2005 relative to the same quarter of 2004.

Noninterest ExpenseNoninterest expense was $1,595 million in the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $362 million (29.4 percent) over the second quarter of 2004. Noninterest expense was $2,926 million in the first six months of 2005, an increase of $238 million (8.9 percent) over the first six months of 2004. The increase in expense in the second quarter, compared with the same period of 2004, was primarily driven by the $224 million unfavorable change in the MSR valuation, as well as the increase in debt prepayment charges of $52 million. The increase in noninterest expense in the first six months of 2005, compared with the first six months of 2004, was partially due to a $61 million unfavorable change in the valuation of MSRs. Compensation expense was higher year-over-year in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, principally due to business expansion of in-store branches, expansion of the Company’s payment processing businesses and other growth initiatives. Employee benefits increased year-over-year primarily as a result of higher pension expense and payroll taxes. Marketing and business development was higher in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004, due to marketing initiatives and the timing of contributions to the Company’s charitable foundation. Technology and communications expense rose, reflecting technology investments that increased software expense, in addition to outside data processing. Other expense declined in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004, primarily due

Income Tax ExpenseThe provision for income taxes was $435 million (an effective rate of 28.0 percent) for the second quarter and $987 million (an effective rate of 31.0 percent) for the first six months of 2005, compared with $540 million (an effective rate of 34.2 percent) and $932 million (an effective rate of 31.3 percent) for the same periods of 2004. The second quarter of 2005 included a $94 million reduction in income tax expense related to the resolution of federal tax examinations covering substantially all of the Company’s legal entities for all years through 2002. For further information on income taxes, refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

LoansThe Company’s total loan portfolio was $133.4 billion at June 30, 2005, compared with $126.3 billion at December 31, 2004, an increase of $7.1 billion (5.6 percent). The increase in total loans was driven by growth in commercial loans, residential mortgages and retail loans. The $3.0 billion (7.5 percent) increase in commercial loans was driven by new customer relationships, increases in corporate card and mortgage banking balances and to a lesser extent, increased utilization under lines of credit by commercial customers.

     Residential mortgages increased $2.6 billion (16.9 percent) at June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of asset/liability risk management decisions to retain a greater portion of the Company’s adjustable-rate loan production and an increase in consumer finance originations.

     Total retail loans outstanding, which include credit card, retail leasing, home equity and second mortgages and other retail loans, grew $1.4 billion (3.2 percent) at June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004. The growth was primarily due to an increase in installment, retail leasing and home equity.

Investment SecuritiesAt June 30, 2005, investment securities, both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, totaled $42.3 billion, compared with $41.5 billion at December 31, 2004. The $.8 billion (2.0 percent) increase primarily reflected purchases of $7.7 billion of securities, partially offset by sales, along with maturities and prepayments. During the first six months of 2005, securities transactions were principally related to asset/liability management decisions reducing liability rate sensitive positions. As of June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, approximately 39 percent of the investment securities portfolio represented adjustable-rate financial instruments. Adjustable-rate financial instruments include variable-rate collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, adjustable-rate money market accounts and asset-backed securities.

DepositsTotal deposits were $121.8 billion at June 30, 2005, compared with $120.7 billion at December 31, 2004, an increase of $1.1 billion (.9 percent). The increase in total deposits was primarily the result of increases in non-interest bearing deposits, time deposits greater than $100,000 and time certificates of deposit less than $100,000, partially offset by declines in interest checking and money market accounts. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $2.6 billion (8.6 percent) at June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004, primarily due to seasonality of corporate trust deposits.

     The decrease in interest-bearing deposits of $1.6 billion (1.7 percent) at June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004, was primarily due to decreases in interest checking and money market savings account balances. The $1.1 billion (4.8 percent) decrease in interest checking and $1.7 billion (5.6 percent) decrease in money market savings account balances reflects the Company’s deposit pricing

decisions in selected markets, given excess liquidity throughout 2004 and a migration of some customer balances to time deposits greater than $100,000 as rates increased on time deposit products. Time deposits greater than $100,000 increased $.7 billion (3.8 percent) and time certificates of deposit less than $100,000 increased $.4 billion (3.3 percent) at June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004. Time deposits greater than $100,000 are largely viewed as purchased funds and are managed to levels deemed appropriate given alternative funding sources.

BorrowingsThe Company utilizes both short-term and long-term borrowings to fund growth of earning assets in excess of deposit growth. Short-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings, were $20.4 billion at June 30, 2005, compared with $13.1 billion at December 31, 2004. Short-term funding is managed to levels deemed appropriate given alternative funding sources. The increase of $7.3 billion in short-term borrowings reflected wholesale funding associated with the Company’s earning asset growth and asset/liability management activities. Long-term debt was $34.8 billion at June 30, 2005, compared with $34.7 billion at December 31, 2004, reflecting the issuances of $2.7 billion of bank notes, $.6 billion of subordinated debt and $.3 billion of junior subordinated debentures and the addition of $3.0 billion of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, offset by long-term debt maturities, repayments and the impact of the recently completed tender offer of $6.5 billion. Refer to the “Liquidity Risk Management” section for discussion of liquidity management of the Company.

CORPORATE RISK PROFILE

OverviewManaging risks is an essential part of successfully operating a financial services company. The most prominent risk exposures are credit, residual, operational, interest rate, market and liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the interest and/or the principal balance of a loan or investment when it is due. Residual risk is the potential reduction in the end-of-term value of leased assets or the residual cash flows related to asset securitization and other off-balance sheet structures. Operational risk includes risks related to fraud, legal and compliance risk, processing errors, technology, breaches of internal controls and business continuation and disaster recovery risk. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Rate movements can affect the repricing of assets and liabilities differently, as well as their market value. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as trading and available-for-sale securities that are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, investors or borrowers. In addition, corporate strategic decisions, as well as the risks described above, could give rise to reputation risk. Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity or press, whether true or not, could result in costly litigation or cause a decline in the Company’s stock value, customer base or revenue.

Credit Risk ManagementThe Company’s strategy for credit risk management includes well-defined, centralized credit policies, uniform underwriting criteria, and ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all commercial and consumer credit exposures. The strategy also emphasizes diversification on a geographic, industry and customer level, regular credit examinations and management reviews of loans experiencing deterioration of credit quality. The credit risk management strategy also includes a credit risk assessment process, independent of business line managers, that performs assessments of compliance with commercial and consumer credit policies, risk ratings, and other critical credit information. The Company strives to identify potential problem loans early, take any necessary charge-offs promptly and maintain adequate reserve levels for probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio.

     In evaluating its credit risk, the Company considers changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, the level of allowance coverage relative to similar banking institutions and macroeconomic factors. Economic conditions during the second quarter and the first six months of 2005 have improved from the same periods of 2004, as reflected in improved unemployment rates, favorable trends related to corporate profits and consumer spending for retail goods and services. Current economic conditions are relatively unchanged from December 31, 2004, with somewhat higher energy costs and some increasing inflationary trends. The Federal Reserve Bank continued its measured approach to increasing short-term interest rates in an effort to prevent an acceleration of inflation and maintain the current rate of economic growth.

Analysis of Nonperforming AssetsThe level of nonperforming assets represents an indicator, among other considerations, of the potential for future credit losses. Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans not performing in accordance with modified terms, other real estate and other nonperforming assets owned by the Company. Interest payments collected from assets on nonaccrual status are typically applied against the principal balance and not recorded as income. At June 30, 2005, total nonperforming assets were $610 million, compared with $748 million at December 31, 2004. The ratio of total nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate decreased to ..46 percent at June 30, 2005, compared with ..59 percent at December 31, 2004.

Analysis of Loan Net Charge-OffsTotal loan net charge-offs were $144 million and $316 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively, compared with net charge-offs of $204 million and $438 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2004. The ratio of total loan net charge-offs to average loans in the second quarter and first six months of 2005 was .44 percent and ..49 percent, respectively, compared with .68 percent and .73 percent, respectively, for the same periods of 2004.

     Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2005 were $13 million (.07 percent of average loans outstanding), compared with $57 million (.35 percent of average loans outstanding) in the second quarter of 2004. Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs for the first six months of 2005 were $46 million (.13 percent of average loans outstanding), compared with $141 million (.43 percent of average loans outstanding) in the first six months of 2004. The year-over-year improvement was broad-based across most industries within the commercial loan portfolio.

     Retail loan net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2005 were $123 million (1.12 percent of average loans outstanding), compared with $140 million (1.38 percent of average loans outstanding) for the second quarter of 2004. Retail loan net charge-offs for the first six months of 2005 were $253 million (1.17 percent of average loans outstanding), compared with $283 million (1.42 percent of average loans outstanding) for the first six months of 2004. Lower levels of retail loan net charge-offs principally reflected the Company’s ongoing improvement in collection efforts, underwriting and risk management.

     The Company’s retail lending business utilizes several distinct business processes and channels to originate retail credit including traditional branch credit, indirect lending and a consumer finance division. Each distinct underwriting and origination activity manages unique credit risk characteristics and prices its loan production commensurate with the differing risk profiles. Within Consumer Banking, U.S. Bank Consumer Finance (“USBCF”) participates in all facets of the Company’s consumer lending activities. USBCF specializes in serving channel-specific and alternative lending markets in residential mortgages, home equity and installment loan financing. USBCF manages loans originated through a broker network, correspondent relationships and U.S. Bank branch offices. Generally, loans managed by the Company’s consumer finance division exhibit higher credit risk characteristics, but are priced commensurate with the differing risk profile.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit LossesThe allowance for loan losses provides coverage for probable and estimable losses inherent in the Company’s loan and lease portfolio. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to determine that it is adequate to cover these inherent losses. The evaluation of each element and the overall allowance is based on a continuing assessment of problem loans, recent loss experience and other factors, including regulatory guidance and economic conditions. Because business processes and credit risks associated with unfunded credit commitments are essentially the same as for loans, the Company utilizes similar processes to estimate its liability for unfunded credit commitments, which is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Both the allowance for loan losses and the liability for unfunded credit commitments are included in the Company’s analysis of the allowance for credit losses.

     At June 30, 2005, the allowance for credit losses was $2,269 million (1.70 percent of loans), compared with an allowance of $2,269 million (1.80 percent of loans) at December 31, 2004. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 441 percent at June 30, 2005, compared with 355 percent at December 31, 2004. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to annualized loan net charge-offs was 393 percent at June 30, 2005, compared with 296 percent at December 31, 2004.

     Several factors were taken into consideration in evaluating the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2005, including the risk profile of the portfolios and loan net charge-offs during the period, the level of nonperforming assets, the accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and delinquency ratios in most loan categories compared with December 31, 2004. Management also considered the uncertainty related to certain industry sectors, including the airline industry, and the extent of credit exposure to highly leveraged enterprise-value borrowers within the portfolio. In addition, concentration risks associated with commercial real estate and the mix of loans, including credit cards, loans originated through the consumer finance division and residential mortgages balances, and their relative credit risk were evaluated compared with other banks. Finally, the Company considered current economic conditions that might impact the portfolio.

Residual Risk ManagementThe Company manages its risk to changes in the residual value of leased assets through disciplined residual valuation setting at the inception of a lease, diversification of its leased assets, regular asset valuation reviews and monitoring of residual value gains or losses upon the disposition of assets. As of June 30, 2005, no significant change in the amount of residuals or concentration of the portfolios has occurred since December 31, 2004. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Residual Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, for further discussion on residual risk management.

Operational Risk ManagementThe Company manages operational risk through a risk management framework and its internal control processes. Within this framework, the Corporate Risk Committee (“Risk Committee”), comprised of key executives, provides oversight and assesses the most significant operational risks facing the Company within its business lines. Under the guidance of the Risk Committee, enterprise risk management personnel interact with business lines to monitor significant operating risks on a regular basis. Business lines have direct and primary responsibility and accountability for identifying, controlling, and monitoring operational risks embedded in their business activities. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Operational Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, for further discussion on operational risk management.

Interest Rate Risk ManagementIn the banking industry, changes in interest rates is a significant risk that can impact earnings, market valuations and safety and soundness of the entity. To minimize the volatility of net interest income and of the market value of assets and liabilities, the Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through asset and liability management activities within guidelines established by its Asset Liability Policy Committee (“ALPC”) and approved by the Board of Directors. ALPC has the responsibility for approving and ensuring compliance with ALPC management policies, including interest rate risk exposure. The Company uses Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis and Market Value of Equity Modeling for measuring and analyzing consolidated interest rate risk.

Net Interest Income Simulation AnalysisOne of the primary tools used to measure interest rate risk and the effect of interest rate changes on rate sensitive income and net interest income is simulation analysis. Through these simulations, management estimates the impact on interest rate sensitive income of a 300 basis point upward or downward gradual change of market interest rates over a one-year period. The simulations also estimate the effect of immediate and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve of 50 basis points as well as the effect of immediate and sustained flattening or steepening of the yield curve. ALPC policy guidelines limit the estimated change in interest rate sensitive income to 5.0 percent of forecasted interest rate sensitive income over the succeeding 12 months. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, for further discussion on net interest income simulation analysis.

     The table above summarizes the interest rate risk of net interest income and rate sensitive income based on forecasts over the succeeding 12 months. At June 30, 2005, the Company’s overall interest rate risk position was liability sensitive to changes in interest rates. The Company manages the overall interest rate risk profile within policy limits. At June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, the Company was within its policy guidelines.

Market Value of Equity ModelingThe Company also utilizes the market value of equity as a measurement tool in managing interest rate sensitivity. The market value of equity measures the degree to which the market values of the Company’s assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments will change given a change in interest rates. ALPC guidelines limit the change in market value of equity in a 200 basis point parallel rate shock to 15 percent of the market value of equity assuming interest rates at June 30, 2005. The up 200 basis point scenario resulted in a 3.1 percent decrease in the market value of equity at June 30, 2005, compared with a 2.7 percent decrease at December 31, 2004. The down 200 basis point scenario resulted in a 6.9 percent decrease in the market value of equity at June 30, 2005, compared with a 4.2 percent decrease at December 31, 2004. At June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, the Company was within its policy guidelines.

     The Company also uses duration of equity as a measure of interest rate risk. The duration of equity is a measure of the net market value sensitivity of the assets, liabilities and derivative positions of the Company. The duration of assets was 1.51 years at June 30, 2005, compared with 1.63 years at December 31, 2004. The duration of liabilities was 1.79 years at June 30, 2005, compared with 1.89 years at December 31, 2004. At June 30, 2005, the duration of equity was (.15) years, compared with ..12 years at December 31, 2004. The duration of equity measure shows that sensitivity of the market value of equity of the Company was liability sensitive to changes in interest rates. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Market Value of Equity Modeling” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, for further discussion on market value of equity modeling.

Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate RiskIn the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into derivative transactions to manage its interest rate, prepayment and foreign currency risks (“asset and liability management positions”) and to accommodate the business requirements of its customers (“customer-related positions”). Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Use of Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate Risk” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, for further discussion on the use of derivatives to manage interest rate risk.

     By their nature, derivative instruments are subject to market risk. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments for speculative purposes. Of the Company’s $41 billion of total notional amount of asset and liability management derivative positions at June 30, 2005, $37 billion was designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges. The cash flow hedge positions are interest rate swaps that hedge the forecasted cash flows from the underlying variable-rate LIBOR loans and floating-rate debt. The fair value hedges are primarily interest rate contracts that hedge the change in fair value related to interest rate changes of underlying fixed-rate debt and subordinated obligations.

     In addition, the Company uses forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to hedge its interest rate risk related to residential mortgage loans held for sale. Related to its mortgage banking operations, the Company held $2.0 billion of forward commitments to sell mortgage loans and $2.0 billion of unfunded mortgage loan commitments that were derivatives in accordance with the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedge Activities.” The unfunded mortgage loan commitments are reported at fair value as options in Table 9.

(a) At June 30, 2005, the credit equivalent amount was $1 million and $18 million, compared with $1 million and $7 million at December 31, 2004, for purchased and written risk participation agreements, respectively.

     At June 30, 2005, the Company had $51 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to unrealized gains on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges. The unrealized gains will be reflected in earnings when the related cash flows or hedged transactions occur and will offset the related performance of the hedged items. The estimated amount of gain to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the remainder of 2005 and the next 12 months is $20 million and $39 million, respectively.

     Gains or losses on customer-related derivative positions were not material for the second quarter and first six months of 2005. The change in fair value of forward commitments attributed to hedge ineffectiveness recorded in noninterest income was a decrease of $4 million and $1 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively. The change in the fair value of all other asset and liability management derivative positions attributed to hedge ineffectiveness recorded in noninterest income was an increase of $3 million for both the second quarter and first six months of 2005.

     The Company enters into derivatives to protect its net investment in certain foreign operations. The Company uses forward commitments to sell specified amounts of certain foreign currencies to hedge its capital volatility risk associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The net amount of gains or losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment for the second quarter and first six months of 2005 was not material.

Market Risk ManagementIn addition to interest rate risk, the Company is exposed to other forms of market risk as a consequence of conducting normal trading activities. Business activities that contribute to market risk include, among other things, proprietary trading

16 U.S. Bancorp

and foreign exchange positions. Value at Risk (“VaR”) is a key measure of market risk for the Company. Theoretically, VaR represents the maximum amount that the Company has placed at risk of loss, with a ninety-ninth percentile degree of confidence, to adverse market movements in the course of its risk taking activities. The Company’s market valuation risk inherent in its customer-based derivative trading, mortgage banking pipeline and foreign exchange, as estimated by the VaR analysis, was not material at June 30, 2005, or December 31, 2004. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Market Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, for further discussion on market risk management.

Liquidity Risk ManagementALPC establishes policies, as well as analyzes and manages liquidity, to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet normal operating requirements in addition to unexpected customer demands for funds, such as high levels of deposit withdrawals or loan demand, in a timely and cost-effective manner. Liquidity management is viewed from long-term and short-term perspectives, as well as from an asset and liability perspective. Management monitors liquidity through a regular review of maturity profiles, funding sources, and loan and deposit forecasts to minimize funding risk. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Liquidity Risk Management” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, for further discussion on liquidity risk management.

     At June 30, 2005, parent company long-term debt outstanding was $6.0 billion, compared with $6.9 billion at December 31, 2004. The $.9 billion decrease was primarily due to repayments of $.5 billion of junior subordinated debentures and maturities of $.5 billion of medium-term notes during the first six months of 2005. Total parent company debt scheduled to mature in the remainder of 2005 is $.7 billion. These debt obligations may be met through medium-term note issuances and dividends from subsidiaries, as well as from parent company cash and cash equivalents.

     Federal banking laws regulate the amount of dividends that may be paid by banking subsidiaries without prior approval. The amount of dividends available to the parent company from its banking subsidiaries after meeting the regulatory capital requirements for well-capitalized banks was approximately $1.0 billion at June 30, 2005.

Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsOff-balance sheet arrangements include any contractual arrangement to which an unconsolidated entity is a party, under which the Company has an obligation to provide credit or liquidity enhancements or market risk support. Off-balance sheet arrangements include certain defined guarantees, asset securitization trusts and conduits. Off-balance sheet arrangements also include any obligation under a variable interest held by an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, credit enhancement or market risk support.

     In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into an array of commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and various forms of guarantees that may be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. The extent of these arrangements is provided in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     Asset securitization and conduits represent a source of funding for the Company through off-balance sheet structures. The Company sponsors an off-balance sheet conduit to which it transferred high-grade investment securities, funded by the issuance of commercial paper. The conduit held assets and related commercial paper liabilities of $4.8 billion at June 30, 2005, and $5.7 billion at December 31, 2004. The Company provides a liquidity facility to the conduit. A liability for the estimate of the potential risk of loss the Company has as the liquidity facility provider is recorded on the balance sheet in other liabilities and was $26 million at June 30, 2005, and $32 million at December 31, 2004. In addition, the Company recorded at fair value its retained residual interest in the investment securities conduit of $40 million at June 30, 2005, and $57 million at December 31, 2004.

     The Company also has an asset-backed securitization to fund an unsecured small business credit product. The unsecured small business credit securitization trust held assets of $328 million at June 30, 2005, of which the Company retained $80 million of subordinated securities and a residual interest-only strip of $42 million. This compared with $375 million in assets at December 31, 2004, of which the Company retained $85 million of subordinated securities and a residual interest-only strip of $36 million. From this securitization, the Company recognized income from subordinated securities, an interest-only strip and servicing fees, net of impairment of $9 million and $7 million during the second quarter

     The Company does not rely significantly on off-balance sheet arrangements for liquidity or capital resources. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, for further discussion on off-balance sheet arrangements.

Capital ManagementThe Company is committed to managing capital for maximum shareholder benefit and maintaining strong protection for depositors and creditors. The Company has targeted returning 80 percent of earnings to our shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases. In keeping with this target, the Company returned 92 percent and 100 percent of earnings in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, respectively. The Company continually assesses its business risks and capital position. The Company also manages its capital to exceed regulatory capital requirements for well-capitalized bank holding companies. To achieve these capital goals, the Company employs a variety of capital management tools including dividends, common share repurchases, and the issuance of subordinated debt and other capital instruments. Total shareholders’ equity was $19.9 billion at June 30, 2005, compared with $19.5 billion at December 31, 2004. The increase was the result of corporate earnings offset by share repurchases and dividends.

     Tangible common equity to assets was 6.1 percent at June 30, 2005, compared with 6.4 percent at December 31, 2004. The Tier 1 capital ratio was 8.1 percent at June 30, 2005, compared with 8.6 percent at December 31, 2004. The total risk-based capital ratio was 12.5 percent at June 30, 2005, compared with 13.1 percent at December 31, 2004. The leverage ratio was 7.5 percent at June 30, 2005, compared with 7.9 percent at December 31, 2004. Impacting Tier 1 capital during the second quarter of 2005, was the $443 million prepayment of trust preferred securities that was part of the recently completed debt tender offer. All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess of stated “well-capitalized” requirements.

     On December 21, 2004, the Board of Directors approved an authorization to repurchase 150 million shares of common stock during the next 24 months.

     The following table provides a detailed analysis of all shares repurchased under this authorization during the second quarter of 2005:

LINE OF BUSINESS FINANCIAL REVIEW

     Within the Company, financial performance is measured by major lines of business, which include Wholesale Banking, Consumer Banking, Private Client, Trust and Asset Management, Payment Services, and Treasury and Corporate Support. These operating segments are components of the Company about which

18 U.S. Bancorp

financial information is available and is evaluated regularly in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

Basis for Financial PresentationBusiness line results are derived from the Company’s business unit profitability reporting systems by specifically attributing managed balance sheet assets, deposits and other liabilities and their related income or expense. Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Line of Business Financial Review Basis for Financial Presentation” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, for further discussion on the business lines’ basis for financial presentation.

     Designations, assignments and allocations change from time to time as management systems are enhanced, methods of evaluating performance or product lines change or business segments are realigned to better respond to our diverse customer base. During 2005, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, 2004 results were restated and presented on a comparable basis.

Wholesale Bankingoffers lending, depository, treasury management and other financial services to middle market, large corporate and public sector clients. Wholesale Banking contributed $267 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $522 million in the first six months of 2005, or increases of $24 million and $51 million, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increases were driven by higher total net revenue and a reduction in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

     Total net revenue increased $17 million (2.8 percent) in the second quarter and $35 million (3.0 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $17 million in the second quarter and $24 million in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increases in net interest income were driven by growth in average loan balances and wider spreads on total deposits due to the funding benefit associated with the impact of rising interest rates during the last four quarters, partially offset by reduced loan spreads due to competitive pricing. The increase in average loans was driven by stronger commercial loan demand in late 2004 and the first half of 2005. Total deposits increased year-over-year driven by growth in time deposits, partially offset by decreases in noninterest-bearing deposits, interest checking and saving products. Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2005 was flat compared to the second quarter of 2004, as declines in commercial products revenue and treasury management-related fees were offset by higher revenue from equity investments. The $11 million increase in noninterest income in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same period of 2004, was due to higher revenue from equity investments, partially offset by reductions in treasury management-related fees, equipment leasing and other commercial loan fees. Treasury management-related fees were lower primarily due to higher earnings credit on customers’ compensating balances. Equipment leasing revenue declined primarily due to lower operating lease rents resulting from lower operating lease balances.

     Noninterest expense increased $3 million (1.4 percent) in the second quarter of 2005 and $9 million (2.2 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increases were primarily driven by higher personnel-related costs and net shared services expense.

     The provision for credit losses decreased $24 million in the second quarter and $55 million in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The favorable change in provision for credit losses was due to improving net charge-offs, resulting in a net recovery of .14 percent of average loans in the second quarter of 2005, compared with a net charge-off of .08 percent of average loans in the second quarter of 2004. The reduction in net charge-offs was attributable to strong commercial loan recoveries, as well as broad based improvements in the overall quality of the commercial loan portfolio. Nonperforming assets within Wholesale Banking were $274 million at June 30, 2005, $330 million at March 31, 2005, and $519 million at June 30, 2004. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of end-of-period loans were .62 percent at June 30, 2005, ..76 percent at March 31, 2005, and 1.23 percent at June 30, 2004.

Consumer Banking contributed $452 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and

U.S. Bancorp 19

$857 million in the first six months of 2005, or increases of $83 million and $159 million, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004. While the retail banking business grew net income 28.4 percent in the second quarter and 27.3 percent in the first six months of 2005, the contribution of the mortgage banking business declined 23.8 percent and 16.9 percent, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004.

     Total net revenue increased $127 million (9.1 percent) in the second quarter and $234 million (8.7 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $97 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $179 million in the first six months of 2005 compared with the same periods of 2004. The year-over-year increases in net interest income were due to strong growth in average loans and the funding benefit of total deposits due to rising interest rates. Partially offsetting these increases were reduced spreads on commercial and retail loans due to competitive pricing, a reduction in noninterest-bearing deposits and lower saving products balances. The increase in average loan balances reflected growth in retail loans and residential mortgages. Included within the retail loan category are second-lien home equity loans and retail leases which had a growth rate of 9.2 percent and 12.8 percent, respectively, in the second quarter and 10.1 percent and 14.5 percent, respectively, in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. Residential mortgages, which includes traditional residential mortgages, grew 22.4 percent in the second quarter and 19.3 percent in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of a year ago, reflecting the Company’s decision to retain adjustable-rate residential mortgages. The year-over-year decreases in average deposits were due to a reduction in noninterest-bearing deposits and saving products, offset by growth in interest checking and time deposits. The decline in noninterest-bearing deposits in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004, was due to the Company’s decision to migrate $1.3 billion of certain high-value customer accounts to interest checking as an enhancement to its Silver Elite Checking product. The year-over-year increases in interest checking balances reflect this migration of the Silver Elite product and strong branch-based new account deposit growth. On a combined basis, the Consumer Banking line of business generated growth of $1.2 billion (4.0 percent) in average checking account balances in the second quarter of 2005, compared with the second quarter of 2004, driven by 6.2 percent growth in net new checking accounts. Offsetting this growth was a reduction in average savings balances of $3.0 billion (10.8 percent) from second quarter of 2004, principally related to money market accounts. Average time deposit balances grew $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2005, compared with the second quarter of 2004, as a portion of money market balances migrated to time deposit products.

     Fee-based noninterest income increased $30 million in the second quarter and $55 million in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The year-over-year growth in fee-based revenue was driven by strong deposit service charges and commercial products revenue, partially offset by lower investment products fees and commissions and treasury management-related fees.

     Noninterest expense increased $21 million (2.9 percent) in the second quarter and $37 million (2.6 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increases were primarily attributable to compensation expenses and net shared services, reflecting the impact of the net addition of 58 in-store and 10 traditional branches at June 30, 2005, compared with June 30, 2004. These increases were partially offset by reductions in occupancy and equipment expense.

     The provision for credit losses decreased $25 million and $53 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The improvement was primarily attributable to lower net charge-offs. As a percentage of average loans, net charge-offs declined to ..39 percent in the second quarter of 2005, compared with ..59 percent in the second quarter of 2004. The decline in net charge-offs included the commercial and retail loan portfolios. The $14 million improvement in commercial loan net charge-offs was broad-based across most industry and geographical regions. Retail loan net charge-offs declined by $11 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the second quarter of 2004, primarily resulting from ongoing collection efforts and risk management activities. Nonperforming assets within Consumer Banking were $329 million at June 30, 2005, $326 million at March 31, 2005, and $383 million at June 30, 2004. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of end-of-period loans were ..47 percent at June 30, 2005, .48 percent at March 31, 2005, and .60 percent at June 30, 2004.

management and mutual fund servicing through five businesses: Private Client Group, Corporate Trust, Asset Management, Institutional Trust and Custody and Fund Services. Private Client, Trust and Asset Management contributed $116 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $228 million in the first six months of 2005, or increases of $21 million and $32 million, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004. The growth was attributable to higher total net revenue and lower provision for credit losses.

     Total net revenue increased $27 million (7.9 percent) in the second quarter and $48 million (7.1 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $25 million in the second quarter and $47 million in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increases in net interest income were due to growth in total average deposits, the favorable impact of rising interest rates on the funding benefit of customer deposits, and higher average loan balances, partially offset by a decline in loan spreads. The increases in total deposits were attributable to growth in noninterest-bearing deposits and time deposits across most areas, principally Corporate Trust. Noninterest income was up slightly in the second quarter and first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004, as revenues generated by favorable equity market valuations and acquisitions were offset by a decline in core revenue due to a change in the mix of fund balances and customers’ migration from paying for services with fees to paying with compensating balances.

     Noninterest expense was flat in the second quarter and increased $5 million (1.4 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increase in noninterest expense in the first six months of 2005 was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related costs, legal expenses, and net shared services expense partially offset by a decline in occupancy expenses.

     The provision for credit losses decreased $7 million in the second quarter and $8 million in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004, due to a reduction in net charge-offs. Net charge-offs as a percentage of loans were .16 percent in the second quarter of 2005, compared with .76 percent in the second quarter of 2004.

Payment Servicesincludes consumer and business credit cards, debit cards, corporate and purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit, ATM processing and merchant processing. Payment Services contributed $178 million of the Company’s net income in the second quarter and $343 million in the first six months of 2005, or increases of $17 million and $34 million, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increases were due to growth in total net revenue driven by higher transaction volumes and lower provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase in total noninterest expense.

     Total net revenue increased $70 million (11.6 percent) in the second quarter and $137 million (11.7 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. Net interest income decreased $10 million in the second quarter and $15 million in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The decreases were primarily due to lower retail loan spreads, higher corporate card rebates and higher corporate payment card noninterest-bearing loan balances, partially offset by increases in retail credit card balances and customer late fees. Noninterest income increased $80 million in the second quarter and $152 million in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increase in fee-based revenue in the second quarter of 2005 was driven by strong growth in credit card and debit card revenue, corporate payment products revenue, ATM processing services revenue and merchant processing revenue. Credit and debit card revenue increased $19 million due to higher sales volume and increases in interchange rates, partially offset by higher reward expenses. Corporate payment products revenue increased $17 million due to increases in sales volume and the acquisition of a small aviation card business in the first quarter of 2005. ATM processing services revenue increased $12 million primarily due to the expansion of the business. Merchant processing revenue increased $33 million due to increases in sales and transaction processing volumes and the expansion of the merchant acquiring business in Europe.

     Noninterest expense increased $45 million (17.4 percent) in the second quarter and $88 million (17.8 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increases in noninterest expense were primarily attributable to higher compensation and employee benefit costs for processing associated with increased credit and debit card transaction volumes, higher corporate payment products and merchant processing sales volumes, higher ATM processing services volumes due to the expansion of the ATM business and higher merchant acquiring costs resulting from the expansion of the merchant acquiring business in Europe.

     The provision for credit losses decreased $2 million (2.1 percent) in the second quarter and $6 million (3.2 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004, due to lower net charge-offs. As a percentage of average loans, net charge-offs were 3.25 percent in the second quarter of 2005, compared with 3.60 percent of average loans in the second quarter of 2004. The favorable change in credit losses was due to improvements in ongoing collection efforts, underwriting and risk management activities, as well as improvements in economic conditions from a year ago.

Treasury and Corporate Supportincludes the Company’s investment portfolios, funding, capital management and asset securitization activities, interest rate risk management, the net effect of transfer pricing related to average balances and the residual aggregate of those expenses associated with corporate activities that are managed on a consolidated basis. Treasury and Corporate Support recorded net income of $108 million in the second quarter and $242 million in the first six months of 2005, or decreases of $61 million and $129 million, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2004.

     Total net revenue increased $40 million (46.0 percent) in the second quarter and decreased $137 million (35.7 percent) in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The year-over-year increase in total net revenue in the second quarter of 2005 was attributable to increases in fee-based noninterest income and securities gains (losses), partially offset by reductions in net interest income. The year-over-year decrease in total net revenue in the first six months of 2005 was attributable to a reduction in net interest income, partially offset by higher fee-based noninterest income and securities gains (losses). The decreases in net interest income were primarily attributable to increases in short-term rates and the Company’s asset/liability management decisions to continue to invest in adjustable-rate securities and utilize higher-cost fixed-rate funding given the current rising interest rate environment. It also reflected the residual effect of transfer pricing caused by changes in the mix of earning assets and the yield curve from a year ago. The increases in fee-based noninterest income were primarily attributable to higher equity investment revenue.

     Noninterest expense increased $293 million in the second quarter and $99 million in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. The increase in noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2005 was principally driven by MSR valuations, debt prepayment expense and higher pension expense. The second quarter of 2005 reflected an MSR impairment of $53 million, compared with MSR reparation of $171 million in the second quarter of 2004, a net increase of $224 million year-over-year. Also included in the second quarter of 2005 was a $54 million debt prepayment charge related to a completed tender offer for debt securities. Noninterest expense in the first six months of 2005 included MSR reparation of $1 million, compared with MSR reparation of $62 million in the first six months of 2004. Debt prepayment and pension expense were also higher in the first six months of 2005, compared with the same period of 2004. The change in MSR valuations was driven by interest rates and prepayment speeds which were flat in the first half of 2005, compared with the rising interest rates and slowing prepayment speeds in the same period of 2004.

     The provision for credit losses for this business unit represents the residual aggregate of the net credit losses allocated to the reportable business units and the Company’s recorded provision determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The provision for credit losses was a net recovery of $2 million in the second quarter of 2005, and first six months of 2005, and a net recovery of $1 million in the first six months of 2004. Refer to the “Corporate Risk Profile” section for further information on the provision for credit losses, nonperforming assets and factors considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

     Income taxes are assessed to each line of business at a standard tax rate with the residual tax expense or benefit to arrive at the consolidated effective tax rate included in Treasury and Corporate Support. The second quarter of 2005 reflected a $94 million reduction in income tax expense related to the resolution of federal tax examinations covering substantially all of the Company’s legal entities for all years through 2002. The first quarter of 2004 reflected a $90 million reduction in income tax expense related to the resolution of federal examinations covering substantially all of the company’s legal entities for the years 1995 through 1999.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

     Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements discusses accounting standards recently issued but not yet required to be adopted and the expected impact of the changes in accounting standards. To the extent the adoption of new accounting standards

24 U.S. Bancorp

affects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, the impacts are discussed in the applicable section(s) of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accounting and reporting policies of the Company comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions, which are integral to understanding the Company’s financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or complex. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Those policies considered to be critical accounting policies relate to the allowance for credit losses, MSRs, goodwill and other intangibles and income taxes. Management has discussed the development and the selection of critical accounting policies with the Company’s Audit Committee. These accounting policies are discussed in detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Critical Accounting Policies” and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

     During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there was no change made in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management of U.S. Bancorp (the “Company”), all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been made. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

     Accounting policies for the lines of business are generally the same as those used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements with respect to activities specifically attributable to each business line. However, the preparation of business line results requires management to establish methodologies to allocate funding costs and benefits, expenses and other financial elements to each line of business. Table 11 “Line of Business Financial Performance” provides details of segment results. This information is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2 Accounting Changes

Loan CommitmentsOn March 9, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105 (“SAB 105”), “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments,” which provides guidance regarding loan commitments accounted for as derivative instruments and is effective for commitments entered into after March 31, 2004. The guidance clarifies that expected future cash flows related to the servicing of the loan may be recognized only when the servicing asset has been contractually separated from the underlying loan by sale with servicing retained. The adoption of SAB 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Stock-Based CompensationIn December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS 123R”), “Share based payment”, a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation.” SFAS 123R requires companies to measure the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. This statement eliminates the use of the alternative intrinsic value method of accounting that was allowed when SFAS 123 was originally issued. The provisions of this statement are effective for the Company on January 1, 2006. Because the Company retroactively adopted the fair value method in 2003, the revised statement will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The key economic assumptions used to estimate the value of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio were as follows:

	June 30,			June 30,
(Dollars in Millions)	2005			2004
Fair value	$	964		$	863
Expected weighted-average life (in years)		5.7			7.0
Discount rate		9.7	%		9.9	%

The estimated sensitivity of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio to changes in interest rates at June 30, 2005, was as follows:

	Down Scenario						Up Scenario
(Dollars in Millions)	50 bps			25 bps			25 bps		50 bps
Fair value	$	(203	)	$	(111	)	$	57	$	119

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights and its sensitivity to changes in interest rates is influenced by the mix of the servicing portfolio and characteristics of each segment of the portfolio. In the current interest rate environment, mortgage loans originated as part of government agency and state loan programs tend to experience slower prepayment speeds and better cash flows than conventional mortgage loans. The Company’s servicing portfolio consists of the distinct portfolios of Mortgage Revenue Bond Programs (“MRBP”), government-related mortgages and conventional mortgages. The MRBP division specializes in servicing loans made under state and local housing authority programs. These programs provide mortgages to low and moderate income borrowers and are generally under government insured programs with down payment or closing cost assistance. The conventional and government servicing portfolios are predominantly comprised of fixed-rate agency loans (FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA, FHLB and various housing agencies) with limited adjustable-rate or jumbo mortgage loans.

A summary of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights and related characteristics by portfolio as of June 30, 2005, was as follows:

(Dollars in Millions)	MRBP			Government			Conventional			Total
Servicing portfolio	$	7,253		$	9,013		$	49,177		$	65,443
Fair market value	$	128		$	137		$	699		$	964
Value (bps)		176			152			142			147
Weighted-average servicing fees (bps)		43			46			35			37

Weighted-average note rate		6.16	%		6.03	%		5.70	%		5.80	%
Age (in years)		3.8			2.5			1.9			2.2
Expected life (in years)		6.2			5.3			5.7			5.7

Included in the second quarter of 2005 was a reduction in income tax expense related to the resolution of federal income tax examinations covering substantially all of the Company’s legal entities for the years 2000 through 2002. The resolution of these cycles was the result of negotiations held between the Company and representatives of the Internal Revenue Service throughout the examinations. The resolution of these matters and the taxing authorities’ acceptance of submitted claims and tax return adjustments resulted in the reduction of estimated income tax liabilities.

     Included in the first quarter of 2004 was a reduction in income tax expense related to the resolution of federal income tax examinations covering substantially all of the Company’s legal entities for the years 1995 through 1999. The resolution of these cycles was the result of a series of negotiations held between the Company and representatives of the Internal Revenue Service at both the examination and appellate levels. The resolution of these matters and the taxing authorities’ acceptance of submitted claims and tax return adjustments resulted in the reduction of estimated income tax liabilities.

     The Company’s net deferred tax liability was $2,099 million at June 30, 2005, and $1,899 million at December 31, 2004.

Note 8 Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities

The following table is a summary of the guarantees and contingent liabilities of the Company at June 30, 2005:

			Maximum
			Potential
	Carrying		Future
(Dollars in Millions)	Amount		Payments
Standby letters of credit	$	76	$	10,584
Third-party borrowing arrangements		6		477
Securities lending indemnifications		—		13,065
Asset sales (a)		6		875
Merchant processing		88		52,213
Other guarantees		26		4,800
Other contingent liabilities		141		1,703

(a) The maximum potential future payments does not include loan sales where the Company provides standard representations and warranties to the buyer against losses related to loan underwriting documentation. For these types of loan sales, the maximum potential future payments are not readily determinable because the Company’s obligation under these agreements depends upon the occurrence of future events.

The Company is subject to various litigation, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its businesses. Due to their complex nature, it may be years before some matters are resolved. While it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate resolution or range of financial liability with respect to these contingent matters, the Company believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

     For information on the nature of the Company’s guarantees and contingent liabilities, please refer to Note 24 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
