Exhibit 99.7
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and explanatory notes present how the combined financial statements of Bank of America and FleetBoston may have appeared had the businesses actually been combined at the beginning of the period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information shows the impact of the merger of Bank of America and FleetBoston on the companies’ respective historical results of operations under the purchase method of accounting with Bank of America treated as the acquirer. Under this method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of FleetBoston were recorded by Bank of America at their estimated fair values as of April 1, 2004, the date the merger was completed. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information combines the historical financial information of Bank of America and FleetBoston for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income give effect to the merger as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2003.
The merger agreement was announced on October 27, 2003 and resulted in the conversion of each outstanding share of FleetBoston common stock other than shares beneficially owned by FleetBoston and Bank of America into 1.1106 post-split shares of Bank of America common stock. Shares of FleetBoston preferred stock were converted on a one-for-one basis into Bank of America preferred stock having the same terms as the corresponding FleetBoston preferred stock, except in the case of shares held by preferred stockholders who validly perfected dissenters’ appraisal rights. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of both Bank of America and FleetBoston.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined companies had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of the period presented and had the impact of possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies, hedging activities, asset dispositions, and share repurchases, among other factors, been considered.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes the impact of Fleet’s cash flow hedge accounting as provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” FleetBoston’s historical Net Interest Income includes the reclassification of deferred cash flow hedge gains and losses from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. However, in purchase accounting deferred cash flow hedge gains and losses in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income have been eliminated and will not be reclassified into Net Interest Income in periods subsequent to the merger. FleetBoston’s historical results include reclassified deferred net cash flow hedge gains of $112 million, $208 million, and $120 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and 2004, respectively.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note 1—Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
During the second quarter of 2004, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a common stock dividend effective August 27, 2004 to common shareholders of record on August 6, 2004. All prior period common share and per common share information has been restated to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information related to the merger is included for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004. The pro forma adjustments included herein reflect the conversion of FleetBoston common stock into Bank of America common stock using an exchange ratio of 1.1106 post-split shares of Bank of America common stock for each of the 1,068,635,408 shares of FleetBoston common stock exchanged at April 1, 2004, $271 million related to the conversion of 1,082,450 shares of preferred stock and $1.36 billion for the approximately 70 million shares of FleetBoston common stock issuable under outstanding stock options that were converted into Bank of America stock options, direct acquisition costs and the cost of FleetBoston shares already owned by Bank of America. The purchase price of $47.3 billion includes direct acquisition costs, the value of stock options, and is based on a per share price for Bank of America common stock of $38.44, which was the average of the closing prices of Bank of America common stock for the period commencing two trading days before, and ending two trading days after, October 27, 2003, the date of the merger agreement, as adjusted for the stock split. The purchase price was adjusted to reflect the effect of the 15.7 million shares of FleetBoston common stock already owned by Bank of America valued at their historical cost of $457 million. Bank of America preferred stock exchanged was valued using the book value of FleetBoston preferred stock.
The merger is being accounted for using the purchase method of accounting; accordingly, Bank of America’s cost to acquire FleetBoston has been allocated to the assets (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities (including executor contracts and other commitments) of FleetBoston at their respective fair values as of April 1, 2004.
Certain amounts in the historical consolidated financial statements of FleetBoston have been reclassified to conform to Bank of America’s historical financial information presentation. Discontinued operations reported in FleetBoston’s historical consolidated statement of income have been excluded. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented in this document does not necessarily indicate the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the merger been completed at the beginning of the applicable period presented, nor is it indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company.
Note 2— Pro Forma Adjustments
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 were prepared assuming the merger was completed on January 1, 2003.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the exchange of 1,186,826,484 shares of Bank of America common stock with an aggregate fair value of approximately $45.6 billion, the issuance of $271 million of Bank of America preferred stock and $1.36 billion for the approximately 70 million shares of FleetBoston common stock issued under outstanding stock options that converted into Bank of America stock options, direct acquisition costs and the cost of 15.7 million shares of FleetBoston common stock already owned by Bank of America valued at their historical cost of $457 million. Common stock and preferred stock issued in the exchange was valued using the methodology discussed in Note 1 above.
All FleetBoston stock options vested upon completion of the merger and converted into Bank of America stock options. The fair value of the Bank of America options issued in exchange for the FleetBoston options was estimated
5
using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price and volatility that when changed can materially affect fair value estimates. Accordingly, the model does not necessarily provide for a reliable single measure of the fair value of employee stock options. The more significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Bank of America stock options to be issued in the exchange for FleetBoston stock options include a risk-free interest rate of 3.61 percent, a dividend yield of 4.70 percent, a weighted average expected life of three years and volatility of 27 percent. The three-year term was based on the weighted average expected term to expiration of these options.
The allocation of the purchase price follows:
(Dollars in millions) | April 1, 2004 | ||||||
Purchase Price | |||||||
FleetBoston common stock exchanged (in thousands) | 1,068,635 | ||||||
Exchange ratio (as adjusted for the stock split) | 1.1106 | ||||||

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are as follows:
(A) | An adjustment of $699 million to decrease the book value of the loan and lease portfolio to fair value was recorded. The adjustment will be recognized over the estimated remaining life of the loan and lease portfolio. The impact of the adjustment was to increase interest income by approximately $13 million, $71 million and $40 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. |
(B) | An adjustment of $82 million to decrease the book value of the securities portfolio to fair value was recorded. Certain unrealized gains currently reflected in other comprehensive income by FleetBoston will be accounted for as a premium paid by Bank of America and will be recognized over the remaining life of the securities portfolio. The impact of the amortization of the premium/ discount was to increase interest income by approximately $4 million and $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and the nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and to decrease interest income by approximately $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. |
6
(C) | Adjustment to reclassify FleetBoston’s credit card late fee revenue from Other interest income to Card income to conform with Bank of America’s classification. |
(D) | An adjustment of $313 million to increase the book value of fixed-rate deposit liabilities to fair value was recorded. The adjustment will be recognized over the estimated remaining term of the related deposit liabilities. The impact of the adjustment was to decrease interest expense by approximately $23 million, $124 million and $20 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. |
(E) | An adjustment of $1.182 billion to increase the book value of outstanding long-term debt instruments to fair value was recorded. The adjustment will be recognized over the remaining life of the long-term debt instruments. The impact of the fair value adjustment is to decrease interest expense by approximately $82 million, $246 million and $66 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. |

(J) | For purchase accounting, a core deposit intangible of $2.174 billion, a purchased credit card relationship intangible of $660 million and other customer relationship intangibles of $409 million were recorded. These intangibles will be amortized over a period not to exceed ten years, on an accelerated basis for the core deposit intangible and purchased credit card relationship intangible and a straight-line basis for the other customer relationship intangibles.
