• Net interest income declined $20 million, to $2.9 billion

— 2Q04 decline more modest than originally expected due to higher trading assets and strong loan fee income

• Fee and other income decreased 6% or $158 million from record 1Q04, as growth in service charges and other banking fees were more than offset by reduced retail brokerage activity, lower trading profits, principal investing net gains and other income due to a corporate real estate sale and leaseback

• Provision expense rose $17 million to $61 million from exceptionally low levels in 1Q04

• Expenses declined 5% largely on lower brokerage commission expense and lower legal costs

(c) The tax-equivalent tax rate applies to fully tax-equivalized revenues.

(d) As of June 30, 2004, the reserve for unfunded lending commitments has been reclassified from the allowance for loan losses to other liabilities.

(e) The second quarter of 2004 is based on estimates.

Key Points

• Cash overhead efficiency ratio of 59.60%; excluding our large retail brokerage operation, ratio was 52.95%

• Net interest margin decreased 18 bps to 3.37% largely on growth in lower-yielding assets from continued investment of FDIC-insured sweep deposit growth, up an average $6.0 billion during the quarter, and $5.2 billion in incremental trading assets

• Allowance to NPAs of 241%

— Reflects revised reporting of reserves attributable to unfunded lending commitments

• Allowance to loans of 1.35% dropped slightly due to overall improvement in credit quality and continued shift in mix toward lower risk loans

• Average diluted shares down 5.8 million reflecting repurchase of 7.5 million shares at an average cost of $46.16 per share, partially offset by shares associated with the net effect of employee stock option activity

Key Points

• Fee and other income decreased 6% to $2.6 billion from record 1Q04; up 20% from 2Q03 largely due to retail brokerage transaction

• Service charges grew 4% as growth in consumer charges of 11% was partially offset by seasonal declines in commercial DDA charges; service charges up 15% over the prior year quarter

• Other banking fees rose 13% driven by higher debit card interchange volume and consumer mortgage originations; up 18% over 2Q03

• Commissions decreased 14% due to lower retail brokerage transaction activity

• Advisory, underwriting and other investment banking fees grew 3% or $5 million

— Strength in structured products partially offset by declines in investment grade and convertible debt origination activity; loan syndication revenues remained strong

• Trading account profits declined $35 million to $39 million from very strong 1Q04

• Securities gains of $36 million primarily reflect a $6 million loss in the investment portfolio and $36 million of gains associated with corporate banking activity

• Other income declined $77 million or 31%; included a $68 million loss associated with a corporate real estate sale and leaseback and lower securitization income

Key Points

• Other noninterest expense decreased 5%; up 18% from 2Q03 due to retail brokerage transaction

• Salaries and employee benefits were 1% lower primarily due to lower retail brokerage commissions

• Occupancy and equipment expenses declined reflecting the benefits of integration efforts

• Sundry expense fell $161 million largely due to lower legal costs from higher 1Q04 levels and lower brokerage-related expenses

(a) The allowance for credit losses is the sum of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments.

(b) The provision related to loans transferred or sold includes recovery of lower of cost or market losses.

(c) These ratios do not include nonperforming assets included in other assets as held for sale.

Key Points

• Net charge-offs of $68 million, or 17 bps of average loans, rose 31%, reflecting lower gross charge-offs of $108 million, or 27 bps, and lower recoveries totaling $40 million

• Provision expense of $61 million rose $17 million and included $9 million net benefit associated with loan sales

• Revised allowance reporting reflects a separation of reserve for unfunded lending commitments from allowance for loan losses

• Allowance for loan losses totaled $2.3 billion, or 1.35% of loans; declined $7 million reflecting continued improvement in credit quality; balance reflects a $3 million reduction relating to the sale, securitization or transfer of loans to held for sale

— Allowance for credit losses to loans of 1.43%

— Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming assets improved to 241% from 218% in 1Q04; strongest in company’s history

• Continued proactive portfolio management actions

— Sold $84 million of exposure out of the loan portfolio including $40 million of outstandings, of which $19 million were nonperforming loans

Summary Operating Results

Business segment results are presented excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, deposit base intangible and other intangible amortization expense, and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. This is the basis on which we manage and allocate capital to our business segments. We continuously assess assumptions, methodologies and reporting classifications to better reflect the true economics of our business segments.

In May 2004, we entered into an agreement to sell 150 offices and financial centers totaling 8.2 million square feet. At the same time, we agreed to lease approximately 5.0 million square feet of this space on a long-term basis and 1.1 million square feet on a short-term basis. The accounting treatment for this transaction resulted in a 2Q04 loss of $68 million, which is included in other income. The transaction is expected to result in average annual expense savings of $22 million pre-tax due to the elimination of ongoing operating and property maintenance expense on surplus properties. No branch closures are planned in connection with this transaction.

Wachovia and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) have settled all issues relating to the IRS’s challenge of our tax position on lease-in, lease-out (“LILO”) transactions entered into by First Union Corporation and legacy Wachovia Corporation. Our current and deferred tax liabilities previously accrued were adequate to cover this resolution.

As of June 30, 2004, we have revised the model used for determining certain components of our allowance for loan losses. The model revision did not have a material impact on our recorded allowance. Additionally, as of June 30, 2004, we have reclassified the reserve for unfunded lending commitments from the allowance for loan losses to other liabilities. Amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to be consistent with the current quarter presentation. In addition to presenting the balance and metrics relating to the allowance for loan losses, we are also presenting the balance and certain metrics relating to the allowance for credit losses, which is the sum of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments.

In early 4Q03, we began marketing our FDIC-insured money market deposit account to brokerage sweep customers. Since then, customers have been transferring balances from money market mutual fund accounts to these deposit accounts. We have been investing these deposits in securities that in concert produce an asset/liability structure that enables us to maintain our desired interest rate sensitivity. This product has captured $25.0 billion in new deposits to date, up $4.5 billion. These deposits represented $23.0 billion in 2Q04 average core deposits, up from an average $17.0 billion in 1Q04.

Net interest income of $2.9 billion was down $20 million, primarily reflecting the effect of increased premium amortization associated with prepayments, offset in part by growth in earning assets. Compared with 2Q03, net interest income increased $300 million, reflecting earning assets growth (discussed below).

Net interest margin declined 18 bps to 3.37%, primarily reflecting growth in lower-yielding assets, including the investment of an additional $6 billion growth in average FDIC-insured money market sweep balances, as well as narrower spreads on trading assets and higher premium amortization associated with prepayments. Net interest margin declined 44 bps from 2Q03, driven by the investment of FDIC-insured money market sweep deposits, the addition of assets associated with the retail brokerage transaction, and assets consolidated pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN46).

In order to maintain our targeted interest rate risk profile, derivative positions are used to hedge the repricing risk inherent in balance sheet positions. The contribution of hedge-related derivatives, primarily on fixed rate debt, fixed rate consumer deposits and floating rate loans, offsets effects on income from balance sheet positions. In 2Q04, net hedge-related derivative income contributed 33 bps to the net interest margin vs. 38 bps in 1Q04 and 50 bps in 2Q03.

Trading assets grew $5.2 billion related to asset growth in structured products warehouses and generally higher customer activity.Average securities rose $2.0 billion reflecting continued investment of FDIC-insured money market sweep balances.Average loans rose 3% linked quarter.Average commercial loans were up $1.7 billion, or 2%, as growth in middle market, business banking, and small business lending, and growth in asset-based lending, offset an $892 million decline in large corporate borrowings. Period-end commercial loans increased $3.8 billion, or 4%.Average consumer loans were up 4%, driven by $2.7 billion growth generated by the General Bank, which included an average $849 million in student loans brought back into loans from a securitization we unwound.Loans held for sale increased $2.8 billion, or 22%, on growth in prime equity lines.Other earning assets were flat. Compared with 2Q03, total earning asset growth of $71 billion was driven by the investment of $23 billion in FDIC-insured money market sweep deposits, $6 billion growth in loans and $7 billion growth in loans held for sale, and $8 billion growth in trading assets. Additionally, we added $15 billion in assets associated with the retail brokerage transaction and $10 billion related to the consolidation of assets pursuant to FIN 46.

Average core depositsincreased $15.1 billion, or 7%. Core deposit growth included an average $6.0 billion in additional FDIC-insured money market sweep deposits in our retail brokerage business; growth in our remaining businesses was 5%. Low-cost core deposit growth was $16.3 billion, or 10%.Average foreign and other time deposits andaverage short-term borrowings were flat in aggregate.Average long-term debt increased modestly. Compared with 2Q03, core deposits increased $44 billion, including $23 billion related to the FDIC-insured money market sweep product; short-term borrowings increased $24 billion related to the consolidation of assets

We hold consumer loan assets on our balance sheet in our consumer loan portfolio, in securitized form in our securities portfolio, and in loans held for sale included in other assets. On-balance sheet period-end consumer loan assets of $94.9 billion increased 4% and rose 9% from 2Q03. The linked-quarter and year-over-year increases were driven by strong growth in consumer real estate secured outstandings in our loan portfolio and held for sale warehouse as we slowed our securitization activity, somewhat offset by modest declines in securitized balances. In late June we securitized $2.0 billion in auto loans in order to more efficiently manage our capital, which reduced period-end loans.

The following table provides additional period-end balance sheet data.

Fee and Other Income

(See Table on Page 6)

Fee and other income of $2.6 billion declined 6% from a strong 1Q04 and rose 20% from 2Q03. Fees represented 47% of total revenue in 2Q04 and 49% in 1Q04.

Service charges of $489 million rose 4% and rose 15% from 2Q03. Stronger consumer DDA charges, aided by growth in no-fee checking account charges, were partially offset by seasonally lower commercial DDA charges.

Page-17

Wachovia 2Q04 Quarterly Earnings Report

Other banking fees of $293 million were up 13%, primarily due to higher debit card interchange fees on growth in volume as well as higher mortgage origination income. The 18% growth from 2Q03 was primarily due to growth in interchange fees.

Commissions of $682 million were down 14% as retail market activity was markedly slower than the prior quarter. Commissions were up 46% from 2Q03 as a result of the retail brokerage transaction.

Fiduciary and asset management fees of $675 million declined 1%, and increased 42% from 2Q03 primarily due to the retail brokerage transaction.

Advisory, underwriting and other investment banking fees of $197 million increased 3%, as strong asset-backed results in structured products were partially offset by modestly lower fixed income and equity capital markets/M&A results. The decrease vs. 2Q03 reflects lower fixed income revenue from a robust 2Q03, partially offset by stronger structured products and equity capital markets results.

Trading account profits of $39 million were down $35 million from a strong 1Q04 marked by exceptional real estate capital markets and mortgage options trading, and were down $10 million from 2Q03. 2Q04 results included a hedging gain of $8 million associated with the securitization of auto loans.

Principal investing recorded net gains of $15 million, a decline of $23 million, with the decline due to lower direct investment gains. Results were up $72 million vs. 2Q03 on lower write-downs.

Net securities gainswere $36 million in 2Q04, including $3 million in impairment losses, vs. 1Q04 gains of $2 million, including $29 million in impairment losses. Net securities gains in the Corporate and Investment Bank were $40 million vs. $56 million in 1Q04, primarily associated with securities received in settlement for problem loans. These gains were partially offset by net losses of $6 million in our investment portfolio vs. $53 million in net losses in 1Q04. Net securities gains in 2Q03 were $10 million and included $60 million in impairment losses.

Other income of $173 million declined $77 million. 2Q04 mortgage and home equity sale and securitization income increased to $53 million from $21 million in 1Q04. Net gains from market valuation adjustments on and sales of loans held for sale were $44 million in 2Q04 vs. $41 million in 1Q04. 2Q04 results also included gains of $21 million in our Asset Management sub-segment associated with the sale of two non-strategic businesses. Offsetting these increases were a 2Q04 loss of $68 million associated with the sale and leaseback of offices and financial centers, a $46 million loss on the auto loan securitization, and losses of $13 million associated with equity collars on our stock. Compared with 2Q03, the primary drivers of the $147 million decline were the sale and leaseback and auto loan securitization losses, and a $61 million decline in other securitization income, partially offset by the gains in Asset Management.

Noninterest Expense

(See Table on Page 7)

Total noninterest expense declined 5%. Excluding the effect ofmerger-related and restructuring expenses and other intangible amortization, expenses were down 5% primarily reflecting higher legal costs in 1Q04, and were up 18% vs. 2Q03, primarily reflecting the retail brokerage transaction.

Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 1% as incentives declined from a strong first quarter.Professional and consulting fees increased 16% from seasonally low 1Q04 billings.Sundry expense was down 34%, reflecting higher legal costs in 1Q04 and lower brokerage-related expenses.Other intangible amortizationof $107 million included $91 million deposit base intangible amortization and $16 million other intangible amortization.

Net interest income increased 2% and rose 4% from 2Q03. Linked-quarter performance reflects continued core deposit and consumer loan growth partially offset by margin compression due to lower loan spreads. Average loans rose 4% driven by a 25% increase in production, primarily in home equity and mortgage. Loans were up 12% from the prior year quarter. Excluding an average $849 million in student loans associated with an unwound securitization, loans grew 3% and rose 11% from 2Q03. Average core deposits grew 3% and increased 6% from 2Q03. Linked-quarter performance reflects continued strong low-cost core deposit growth of 5%, driven by increases in money market, DDA and interest checking, offset by a 4% decline in CDs.

Fee and other income grew 14% and increased 3% from 2Q03. The linked-quarter performance was driven by continued growth in NSF charges and interchange fees due to both improving volumes and a continued stabilization in mix of online and offline transactions. Non-mortgage-related fees grew 10% versus an 11% increase in 1Q04, to $452 million. Mortgage-related fee and other income increased 55% to $52 million on increased originations. These results included $20 million in net gains on mortgage deliveries and servicing sales compared with $12 million in 1Q04 and $72 million in 2Q03.

Provision expensewas 19% lower reflecting continued improvement in credit quality.

Noninterest expense decreased 2% as higher personnel costs associated with higher volumes were more than offset by increased deferral of consumer loan origination expenses.

Net interest income increased 3% to $551 million and rose 9% from 2Q03. The increase was attributable to both balance sheet growth and relatively stable spreads on both loans and deposits. Total loans grew $1.2 billion with growth in all commercial sub-segments. Excluding commercial real estate loans, commercial loans were up 2% to $33.9 billion on increased demand and higher line utilization from commercial and business banking customers, while commercial real estate increased 3% linked quarter on strong production. Core deposit growth of 7% and 28% from 2Q03 reflected growth in checking and money market deposits driven by customer acquisition, higher government deposits and increasing customer liquidity.

Fee and other income declined $29 million, or 23%, on lower commercial service charges and lower loan sales and held for sale gains. Excluding gains on loan sales of $27 million in 1Q04, fee income was relatively flat. Fee and other income increased 20% from 2Q03 on higher service charges and loan sales and held for sale gains.

Provision expenseincreased $9 million as modestly higher charge-offs were coupled with slightly lower recoveries. Gross charge-offs of $28 million during the quarter were $6 million higher. Provision relating to loan sales or transfers to held for sale was less than $1 million compared with $3 million in 1Q04.

Noninterest expense was flat and increased 1% vs. 2Q03 on higher personnel expense.

Fee and other income increased 7% and increased 20% over 2Q03. The linked-quarter increase was driven by a $17 million net benefit from the sale of two non-strategic businesses and modest increases in fees associated with growth in equity assets. The year-over-year increase in fee income was driven by the gain on sale of the non-strategic businesses, growth in equity and fixed income assets under management and the effect of two Corporate and Institutional Trust acquisitions, including a securities lending business.

Noninterest expense remained relatively flat but rose 14% from 2Q03 levels, largely due to the effect of the Corporate and Institutional Trust acquisitions.

Net interest incomeincreased 9% to $119 million from $109 million driven by incremental deposit growth of an average $6 billion associated with the movement of money market balances to the FDIC-insured money market sweep product. Period-end deposits increased $4.5 billion due to the sweep product.

Fee and other income decreased $123 million, or 11% largely on lower retail trading activity. Growth in fees from 2Q03 was primarily due to the retail brokerage transaction.*

Noninterest expense decreased 8% primarily due to lower production-based costs. Year-over-year growth was largely due to the retail brokerage transaction.*

*Beginning in 3Q03, the Retail Brokerage Services sub-segment results shown in the above table include 100% of the results of the Wachovia Securities retail brokerage transaction which is the combination of Wachovia’s and Prudential Financial’s retail brokerage operations. This transaction was consummated on July 1, 2003. The entity is a consolidated subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation for GAAP purposes. Wachovia Corporation owns 62% of Wachovia Securities retail brokerage and Prudential Financial, Inc. owns 38%. Prudential Financial’s minority interest is included in minority interest reported in the Parent (see page 29) and in Wachovia Corporation’s consolidated statements of income on a GAAP basis, which differs from our segment reporting as noted on pages 3 and 15. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, Prudential Financial’s pre-tax minority interest on a GAAP basis was $25 million.

The Retail Brokerage Services sub-segment results reported in the above table also includes our Insurance Services sub-segment, as well as additional corporate allocations that are not included in the Wachovia Securities Financial Holdings results.

Capital Management Eliminations

In addition to the above sub-segments, Capital Management results include eliminations among business units. Certain brokerage commissions earned on mutual fund sales by our brokerage sales force are eliminated and deferred in the consolidation of Capital Management reported results. In 2Q04, brokerage revenue and expense eliminations were a reduction of $3 million and $11 million, respectively.

Net interest income of $119 million was up 4% as balance sheet growth was offset by spread compression on deposits. Average loans grew 2% on increased volume in both the consumer and commercial segments. Core deposit growth of 5% was driven by higher money market and demand deposit balances. Net interest income growth of 13% vs. 2Q03 was driven by loan growth of 10% and core deposit growth of 12%.

Fee and other income increased 3% on higher insurance commissions and increased trust and investment management fees. The 11% year-over-year increase in fee and other income was driven by growth in trust and investment management fees and insurance commissions.

Noninterest expense was up slightly as higher revenue-based incentives were partially offset by declines in benefit expense and technology costs. Expenses increased 4% vs. 2Q03 on higher incentive costs and occupancy expense.

Net interest income increased $10 million, or 4%, as higher recognition of deferred fees driven by early loan pay-offs and higher interest income associated with loans returning to accrual status more than offset lower loans outstanding. Compared with 2Q03, net interest income declined $10 million, or 3%, on lower loans outstanding. Average loans outstanding declined $892 million, or 4%, on the continued reduction in credit facility usage. Average core deposits declined 2% and declined 37% from 2Q03 driven by the reduction in balances by several large corporate customers.

Fee and other income grew $5 million, or 3%, driven by improved rail leasing rental income. Compared with 2Q03, fee and other income increased $52 million, or 39%, as higher security gains and improved credit default swap trading results more than offset a decline in loan sale gains. There were $39 million in net gains on securities and other investments in 2Q04 versus $40 million in 1Q04 and losses of $2 million in 2Q03. Gains on loans sold and held for sale were $15 million in 2Q04 versus $15 million in 1Q04 and $32 million in 2Q03.

Provision expensewas a recovery of $4 million during the quarter vs. a recovery of $27 million in 1Q04 and an expense of $95 million in 2Q03. Gross charge-offs of $15 million during the quarter were offset by $9 million in recoveries and a $9 million benefit from the recovery of lower of cost or market losses on assets sold out of the loan portfolio. Recoveries and benefits were $55 million in 1Q04 and recoveries were $24 million in 2Q03.

Noninterest expense increased 2% to $127 million on increased personnel expenses associated with annual merit increases.

Economic capital declined 1% and fell 31% vs. 2Q03 on the continued decline in loan exposures and improvement in credit quality.

Net interest incomeincreased 2%, or $5 million, tied to increased escrow deposits in Structured Products commercial mortgage servicing and higher spreads on trading assets. Net interest income growth of 24%, or $46 million, from 2Q03 was driven by higher spreads on trading assets and 38% growth in escrow deposits in Structured Products commercial mortgage servicing.

Fee and other incomedeclined $10 million, or 3%, to $335 million. 2Q04 results were driven by a $44 million decline in trading gains in interest rate products and investment grade debt partially offset by strength in structured products underwriting. Fixed income securities gains were $5 million in the quarter vs. securities gains of $3 million in 1Q04. Fee and other income was up 9% from 2Q03 on strength in real estate capital markets and higher securities gains, partially offset by lower fixed income trading and mergers and acquisitions results.

Noninterest expense was flat as lower revenue-based variable pay was offset by higher personnel costs.

Net interest income increased 2% driven by a 15% increase in average loans in International Correspondent Banking and 8% growth in average core deposits. Net interest income was up 16% from 2Q03 on 31% growth in deposits in both Treasury Services and International Correspondent Banking and 34% growth in average loans in International Correspondent Banking.

Fee and other income of $180 million was relatively flat with 1% growth.

Noninterest expensedeclined 2% driven by lower volume-based operating costs.

The Treasury Services business is managed in the Corporate and Investment Bank. Product revenues and earnings are also realized in other business lines within the company, including the General Bank and Wealth Management. Total treasury services product revenues for the company were $578 million in 2Q04 vs. $563 million in 1Q04 and $498 million in 2Q03. Increased revenue trends are primarily driven by higher deposit balances related to Treasury Services product activities.

Net interest incomedecreased $100 million as spreads compressed and increased $59 million vs. 2Q03 as higher investment interest income more than offset increased deposit earnings credits paid to business units.

Fee and other incomedecreased $63 million. 2Q04 results included a loss of $68 million associated with the sale and leaseback of offices and financial centers as well as a $46 million loss on an auto loan securitization. Other securitization income was $28 million compared with $7 million in 1Q04. Net securities losses were $6 million vs. net losses of $53 million in 1Q04. Trading losses of $11 million, including a hedging gain of $8 million associated with the auto loan securitization, compared with losses of $25 million in 1Q04. 2Q04 also included losses of $13 million associated with equity collars on our stock. The primary drivers of the reduction vs. 2Q03 were the 2Q04 sale and leaseback and auto loan securitization losses and a $13 million decline in other securitization income.

Noninterest expense decreased $77 million primarily due to lower legal costs, partially offset by increased personnel expense. Expense declined from 2Q03 due to lower other intangible amortization and lower legal costs.

Core Business Activity

In 2Q04, a net $10.2 billion of loans were originated or purchased for sale representing core business activity. We sold or securitized a total of $5.9 billion of loans out of the loans held for sale portfolio.

Portfolio Management Activity

We sold or securitized a total of $2.0 billion of loans directly out of the loan portfolio, including a $2.0 billion consumer auto loan securitization initiated to more efficiently utilize capital. These sales included $32 million of commercial loans, $19 million of which were nonperforming. During the quarter, we also transferred $32 million in corporate and commercial exposure to held for sale, including $27 million of outstandings and $5 million of unfunded lending commitments. $25 million of the exposure transferred was performing. $2.0 billion of the non-flow loan sales/transfers were performing and $25 million were nonperforming.

At the end of 2Q04, 99% of the $4.3 billion in large corporate and commercial exposure moved to held for sale since 3Q01 has been sold or paid down. The following table provides additional information related to the direct loan sale and securitization activity and the types of loans transferred to loans held for sale.

Merger Integration Update

Estimated Merger Expenses

In connection with the Wachovia Securities retail brokerage transaction, which closed on July 1, 2003, we began recording certain merger-related and restructuring expenses in 3Q03. These expenses are reflected in our income statement. In addition, we recorded purchase accounting adjustments to reflect Prudential Financial’s contributed assets and liabilities at their respective fair values as of July 1, 2003, and to reflect certain exit costs related to Prudential’s contributed businesses, which has the effect of increasing goodwill. These purchase accounting adjustments are final as of June 30, 2004, and total $520 million. This amount is $164 million less than the previously announced estimate. We currently expect merger-related and restructuring expenses to be $500 million. During 2Q04, we reduced our estimate of total one-time costs for the Wachovia Securities retail brokerage transaction by $108 million to $1.0 billion.

In connection with the First Union/Wachovia merger, we have also been recording certain merger-related and restructuring expenses reflected in our income statement, as well as purchase accounting adjustments relating to recording the former Wachovia’s assets and liabilities at their respective fair values as of September 1, 2001, and certain exit costs relating to the former Wachovia’s businesses. For the 12-month period following the merger consummation, these exits costs were recorded as purchase accounting adjustments, and accordingly, had the effect of increasing goodwill. In accordance with GAAP, as of 4Q02, we began recording former Wachovia exit costs, as merger-related and restructuring expenses in our income statement and the fair value purchase accounting adjustments were final as of September 1, 2002. During 2Q04, we reduced our estimate of total one-time costs for the First Union/Wachovia merger by $100 million to $1.3 billion.

The following table indicates our progress compared with the estimated merger expenses for each of the respective transactions.

Merger-Related And Restructuring Expenses

In the quarter, we recorded $40 million in net merger-related and restructuring expenses related to the Wachovia Securities retail brokerage transaction after giving effect to Prudential Financial’s share of these expenses of $25 million. The majority of these expenses related to personnel and employee termination benefits as well as contract cancellation and system conversions costs. We also recorded $37 million of expenses relating to the First Union/Wachovia merger. Personnel and employee termination benefits, occupancy and equipment, contract cancellations and system conversions were the largest categories.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Under purchase accounting, the assets and liabilities contributed by Prudential Financial to the Wachovia Securities retail brokerage transaction and the assets and liabilities of the former Wachovia are recorded at their respective fair values as of July 1, 2003, and September 1, 2001, respectively, as if they had been individually purchased in the open market. The premiums and discounts that resulted from the purchase accounting adjustments to financial instruments are accreted/amortized into income/expense over the estimated term of the respective assets and liabilities, similar to the purchase of a bond at a premium or discount. This results in a market yield in the income statement for those assets and liabilities. Assuming a stable market environment from the date of purchase, we would expect that as these assets and liabilities mature, they could generally be replaced with instruments of similar yields.

(b) These adjustments represent fair value adjustments in compliance with purchase accounting standards and adjust assets and liabilities contributed by Prudential Financial to their fair values as of July 1, 2003.

(c) These adjustments represent incremental costs relating to combining the two companies and are specifically attributable to those businesses contributed by Prudential Financial.

In 2Q04, we recorded certain refinements to our initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities contributed by Prudential Financial in the Wachovia Securities retail brokerage transaction and recorded additional exit cost purchase accounting adjustments. Together, these adjustments resulted in an after-tax net increase to goodwill of $251 million. This amount includes an additional $367 million in pre-tax exit cost purchase accounting adjustments principally pertaining to occupancy and equipment as we finalized our plans for the integration, and reflects the costs associated with consolidating operations to Richmond, VA and personnel and employee termination benefits. As of June 30, 2004, the goodwill attributable to this transaction totaled $503 million.

Wachovia 2Q04 Quarterly Earnings Report

Explanation of Our Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this quarterly earnings report includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including those presented on pages 2 and 4 under the captions “Earnings Reconciliation”, and “Other Financial Measures”, each with the sub-headings – “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle” and — “Earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, other intangible amortization and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle”, and which are reconciled to GAAP financial measures on pages 37-39. In addition, in this quarterly earnings report certain designated net interest income amounts are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, including the calculation of the overhead efficiency ratio.

Wachovia believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance of the company, its business and performance trends and facilitates comparisons with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Specifically, Wachovia believes that the exclusion of merger-related and restructuring expenses, and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle permits evaluation and a comparison of results for on-going business operations, and it is on this basis that Wachovia’s management internally assesses the company’s performance. Those non-operating items are excluded from Wachovia’s segment measures used internally to evaluate segment performance in accordance with GAAP because management does not consider them particularly relevant or useful in evaluating the operating performance of our business segments. In addition, because of the significant amount of deposit base intangible amortization, Wachovia believes that the exclusion of this expense provides investors with consistent and meaningful comparisons to other financial services firms. Wachovia’s management makes recommendations to its board of directors about dividend payments based on reported earnings excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, other intangible amortization and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle (cash earnings), and has communicated certain cash dividend payout ratio goals to investors. Management believes that the cash dividend payout ratio is useful to investors because it provides investors with a better understanding of and permits investors to monitor Wachovia’s dividend payout policy. Wachovia also believes that the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry standards. Wachovia operates one of the largest retail brokerage businesses in our industry, and we have presented an overhead efficiency ratio excluding these brokerage services, which management believes is useful to investors in comparing the performance of our banking business with other banking companies.

Although Wachovia believes the above non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP basis financial measures.
