MBNA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of MBNA Corporation ("the Corporation") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 should be read in conjunction with these consolidated financial statements. For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001. NOTE B: PREFERRED STOCK The Corporation's Board of Directors declared the following quarterly dividends for the Corporation's Series A and Series B Preferred Stock: Series A Series B --------------------- --------------------- Dividend Per Dividend Per Dividend Preferred Dividend Preferred Declaration Date Payment Date Rate Share Rate Share - ---------------- ---------------- -------- ------------ -------- ------------ January 10, 2001 April 16, 2001 7.50% $ .46875 5.64% $ .35270 April 10, 2001 July 16, 2001 7.50 .46875 5.50 .34380 July 11, 2001 October 15, 2001 7.50 .46875 5.60 .35020 NOTE C: COMMON STOCK During the six months ended June 30, 2001, 1.3 million shares of restricted common stock were issued under the Corporation's 1997 Long Term Incentive Plan to the Corporation's senior officers. The restricted common shares issued had an approximate aggregate market value of $46.8 million. At June 30, 2001, the unamortized compensation expense related to all of the Corporation's outstanding restricted stock awards was $178.8 million. To the extent stock options are exercised or restricted shares are awarded from time to time under the Corporation's Long Term Incentive Plans, the Board of Directors has approved the purchase, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, of the number of common shares issued. On July 11, 2001 the Corporation's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.09 per common share, payable October 1, 2001 to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2001. NOTE D: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per common share is computed using net income applicable to common stock and weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per common share-assuming dilution is computed using net income applicable to common stock and weighted average common shares outstanding during the period after consideration of the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, based on the treasury stock method using an average market price for the period. The Corporation's common stock equivalents are solely related to employee stock options. The Corporation does not have any other common stock equivalents.

The Corporation also uses foreign exchange swap agreements to reduce its foreign currency exchange rate risk on a portion of long-term debt and bank notes issued by MBNA Europe Bank Limited ("MBNA Europe"). During the three months ended June 30, 2001, MBNA America Bank, N.A. ("the Bank"), entered into two interest rate swap agreements, each with an underlying notional amount of $300.0 million, related to the issuance of the $600.0 million fixed-rate bank note. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2001, MBNA Europe entered into foreign exchange swap agreements to reduce the foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate sensitivity related to the EUR500.0 million fixed-rate Euro medium-term notes issuance. NOTE H: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("Statement No. 133"), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" ("Statement No. 137") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("Statement No. 138") on January 1, 2001. The standards required that all derivative instruments be recorded on the Corporation's consolidated statement of financial condition at fair value and established criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Corporation recognized a $2.5 million (pretax) loss upon implementation of Statement No. 133, as amended by Statement No. 137 and Statement No. 138, on January 1, 2001. The Corporation utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to enhance its ability to manage risk, including interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate, which exist as part of its ongoing business operations. Derivative financial instruments are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of these exposures. The Corporation does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes, nor is it a party to any leveraged derivative financial instruments. The Corporation can designate derivative financial instruments as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges, or hedges of net investments. The Corporation also has derivative financial instruments that are not designated as an accounting hedge, which reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Corporation accounts for changes in the fair value of fair value hedges and the corresponding hedged item as a component of other operating income on the Corporation's consolidated statement of income. The Corporation does not have cash flow hedges or hedges of net investments. For derivative financial instruments that are not designated as an accounting hedge, the change in fair value is reported in other operating income on the Corporation's consolidated statement of income. The gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses on the Corporation's derivative financial instruments are included as a component of other assets or accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the Corporation's consolidated statement of financial condition. INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS The Corporation finances a portion of its operations through long-term debt and bank notes. The Corporation uses interest rate swap agreements to change fixed-rate funding sources to floating-rate funding sources to better match the rate sensitivity of the Corporation's assets. The Corporation's interest rate swap agreements qualify as fair value hedges under Statement No. 133. The fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap agreements was a gross unrealized gain of $53.9 million and a gross unrealized loss of $8.2 million at June 30, 2001. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation's hedging ineffectiveness was immaterial to the Corporation's consolidated statement of income. FOREIGN EXCHANGE SWAP AGREEMENTS The Corporation is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of its foreign bank subsidiaries. The Corporation enters into foreign exchange swap agreements to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk and to change a portion of fixed-rate long-term debt and bank notes to floating-rate long-term debt and bank notes to better match the interest rate sensitivity of the Corporation's assets. The Corporation's qualifying foreign exchange swap agreements are accounted for as fair value hedges. The fair value of the Corporation's qualifying foreign exchange swap agreements was a gross unrealized loss of $424,000 at June 30, 2001. The Corporation also enters into foreign exchange swap agreements that are not designated as accounting hedges. The fair value of the Corporation's foreign exchange swap agreements not designated or effective as accounting hedges was a gross unrealized loss of $42.6 million and a gross unrealized gain of $4.1 million at June 30, 2001. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation recognized a net loss of $12.3 million on its foreign exchange swap agreements and an offsetting net gain of $22.6 million on the related underlying long-term debt and bank notes, in the consolidated statement of income. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation recognized a net loss of $34.3 million on its foreign exchange swap agreements and an offsetting net gain of $35.2 million on the related underlying long-term debt and bank notes, in the consolidated statement of income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation's hedging ineffectiveness was immaterial to the Corporation's consolidated statement of income. FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS The Corporation is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the designated functional currency of the Corporation or its foreign bank subsidiaries. The Corporation enters into forward exchange contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily related to activity associated with its foreign bank subsidiaries. The Corporation's forward exchange contracts are not designated as accounting hedges. The fair value of the forward exchange contracts was a gross unrealized gain of $21.7 million and a gross unrealized loss of $1.7 million at June 30, 2001. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation recognized a net loss of $5.2 million on its forward exchange contracts and a net loss of $5.5 million on the related assets and liabilities, in the consolidated statement of income. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation recognized a net gain of $55.1 million on its forward exchange contracts and an offsetting net loss of $60.8 million on the related assets and liabilities, in the consolidated statement of income. NOTE I: SEGMENT REPORTING The Corporation derives its income primarily from credit card loans, other consumer loans, and insurance products. The credit card and other consumer loan products have similar economic characteristics and, therefore, have been aggregated into one operating segment. The Corporation's insurance products have also been aggregated into the one operating segment due to immateriality. The Corporation allocates resources on a managed basis, and financial information provided to management reflects the Corporation's results on a managed basis. Therefore, an adjustment is required to reconcile the managed financial information to the Corporation's reported financial information in its consolidated financial statements. This adjustment reclassifies interest income, interchange income, credit card and other fees, insurance income, interest paid to investors, credit losses, and other trust expenses into securitization income.

Statement No. 140 replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("Statement No. 125"), and revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of Statement No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. The Corporation adopted Statement No. 140's revised accounting standards for all transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The implementation of Statement No. 140 did not impact the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. In July 2001, Financial Accounting Standards Board Technical Bulletin No. 01-1, "Effective Date for Certain Financial Institutions of Certain Provisions of Statement 140 Related to the Isolation of Transferred Financial Assets" ("Technical Bulletin No. 01-1"), was issued. Technical Bulletin No. 01-1 applies to securitization structures utilized in the marketplace and clarifies certain isolation criterion that are required by Statement No. 140 to account for asset securitizations as sales. Technical Bulletin No. 01-1 delays the effective date of Statement No. 140 as it applies to single-step securitization structures for transactions occurring after December 31, 2001. Technical Bulletin No. 01-1 also provides an extended transition period until June 30, 2006, for conversion of existing single-step master trust securitization structures to allow issuers, if necessary, additional time to obtain sufficient approvals from the beneficial interest holders to meet the isolation criterion required by Statement No. 140 to achieve sales treatment. The Corporation believes that any required changes in its securitization structures will not be significant, and that the implementation of any changes will not have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated net income. The Corporation adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets" ("EITF 99-20") on April 1, 2001. As a result, the Corporation now records certain income related to beneficial interests retained in a securitization transaction accounted for as a sale as interest income in the Corporation's consolidated statement of income. This income was previously recorded as securitization income in the Corporation's consolidated statement of income. The Corporation includes these retained beneficial interests in accounts receivable from securitizations on the consolidated statement of financial condition. The implementation of EITF 99-20 did not impact the Corporation's consolidated net income. In June 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("Statement No. 142"), was issued. In accordance with Statement No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized, but will instead be subject to an annual impairment test. Other separately identifiable intangible assets, including the value of acquired Customer accounts, will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The effective date for Statement No. 142 is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The implementation of Statement No. 142 will not have a material impact on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. MBNA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (unaudited) This discussion is intended to further the reader's understanding of the consolidated financial statements, financial condition, and results of operations of MBNA Corporation. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes, and tables included elsewhere in this report. For purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified. INTRODUCTION MBNA Corporation, ("the Corporation"), a bank holding company located in Wilmington, Delaware, is the parent company of MBNA America Bank, N.A. ("the Bank"), a national bank and the Corporation's principal subsidiary. The Bank has two wholly owned foreign bank subsidiaries, MBNA Europe Bank Limited ("MBNA Europe") located in the United Kingdom and MBNA Canada Bank ("MBNA Canada") located in Canada. Through the Bank, the Corporation is the largest independent credit card lender in the world and is the leading issuer of affinity credit cards, marketed primarily to members of associations and Customers of financial institutions. In addition to its credit card lending, the Corporation also makes other consumer loans and offers insurance and deposit products. The Corporation is also the parent of MBNA America (Delaware), N.A. ("MBNA Delaware"), which offers home equity loans and corporate loan products. The Corporation generates interest and other income through finance charges assessed on outstanding loan receivables, interchange income, credit card and other fees, securitization income, insurance income, and interest earned on investment securities, money market instruments, and other interest-earning assets. The Corporation's primary costs are the costs of funding its loan receivables, investment securities, and other assets, which include interest paid on deposits, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt and bank notes; credit losses; royalties paid to affinity groups and financial institutions; business development and operating expenses; and income taxes. EARNINGS SUMMARY Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased 33.2% to $380.1 million or $.43 per common share, from $285.4 million or $.34 per common share for the same period in 2000. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased 32.9% to $691.2 million or $.78 per common share, from $520.0 million or $.62 per common share for the same period in 2000. Earnings per common share amounts are presented assuming dilution. The overall growth in earnings was primarily attributable to the growth in the Corporation's managed loans outstanding. The Corporation's average managed loans increased 20.5% to $89.3 billion and 21.4% to $88.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $74.1 billion and $73.0 billion for the same periods in 2000, respectively. Total managed loans at June 30, 2001 were $90.4 billion, a $14.1 billion increase from June 30, 2000, and a $1.6 billion increase since December 31, 2000. In addition, the managed net interest margin increased to 8.33% and 8.02% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to 7.12% and 7.11% for the same periods in 2000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation acquired 227 new endorsements from a variety of organizations in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada and added 4.7 million new accounts. The growth in managed loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000, was a result of the Corporation's continued marketing efforts and loan portfolio acquisitions. The Corporation continues to be an active participant in the asset securitization market. Asset securitization is the sale of loans to investors, generally through a trust, that converts interest income, interchange income, credit card and other fees, and insurance income in excess of interest paid to investors, credit losses, and other trust expenses into securitization income and other interest income, while reducing the Corporation's on-balance-sheet assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation securitized $2.5 billion and $4.5 billion of credit card loan receivables, respectively, bringing total securitized loans to $69.9 billion at June 30, 2001. The Corporation's average securitized loans increased 21.9% and 24.3% to $69.3 billion for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $56.8 billion and $55.7 billion for the same periods in 2000, respectively. The Corporation's return on average total assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 increased to 3.88% and 3.58% from 3.63% and 3.33% for the same periods during 2000, respectively. The increase in return on average total assets is a result of the Corporation's net income growing faster than its average total assets as a result of asset securitization. The Corporation's return on average stockholders' equity was 22.33% and 20.76% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to 26.36% and 24.44% for the same periods in 2000, respectively. The decrease in the Corporation's return on average stockholders' equity is primarily a result of an increase in average stockholders' equity from the issuance of 50 million shares of common stock in August 2000 for $1.6 billion, net of issuance costs. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $49.0 million to $335.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. Average interest-earning assets increased $4.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in average interest-earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was a result of an increase in average loan receivables of $2.8 billion, as compared to the same period in 2000. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was primarily a result of an increase of $4.7 billion in average interest-bearing deposits, as compared to the same period in 2000, which was used to fund the increase in average interest-earning assets. Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $35.3 million to $622.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. Average interest-earning assets increased $3.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in average interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was a result of an increase in average loan receivables of $2.1 billion and an increase in average money market instruments of $1.3 billion as compared to the same period in 2000. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000 was primarily a result of an increase of $4.8 billion in average interest-bearing deposits which were used to fund the increase in average interest-earning assets, accounts receivable from securitizations, and the value of acquired Customer accounts. The value of acquired Customer accounts represents the premiums paid by the Corporation in excess of acquired loan receivables. Both accounts receivable from securitizations and the value of acquired Customer accounts are included in other assets in Table 2. The net interest margin represents net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis expressed as a percentage of average total interest-earning assets. The Corporation's net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 5.00% and 4.78% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to 5.15% and 5.22% for the same periods in 2000, respectively. INVESTMENTS SECURITIES AND OTHER INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS Interest income on investment securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was $45.2 million and $88.7 million, as compared to $45.1 million and $88.0 million for the same periods in 2000, respectively. Average investment securities increased $312.7 million and $175.4 million to $3.4 billion and $3.2 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same periods in 2000, respectively. The yield earned on the Corporation's average investment securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, decreased 54 basis points and 25 basis points to 5.33% and 5.54%, as compared to the same periods in 2000, respectively. Interest income on money market instruments increased $8.3 million and $24.1 million to $31.5 million and $74.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, from the same periods in 2000, respectively. The increase in interest income on money market instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was primarily a result of an increase of $1.3 billion in average money market instruments for both periods, offset by a decrease of 174 basis points and 92 basis points in the yield earned on average money market instruments from the same periods in 2000, respectively. The Corporation tries to maintain its investment securities and money market instruments position at a level appropriate for the Corporation's anticipated liquidity needs. The Corporation's average investment securities and average money market instruments are affected by the timing of receipt of funds from asset securitizations, deposits, loan payments, long-term debt and bank notes, and maturities of investment securities. Funds received from these sources are generally invested in short-term, liquid money market instruments and investment securities available-for-sale until the funds are needed for loan growth and other liquidity needs. Interest income on other interest-earning assets was $22.8 million and $44.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $17.7 million and $34.9 million for the same periods in 2000, respectively. The Corporation adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets" ("EITF 99-20") on April 1, 2001. As a result, the Corporation now records certain income related to beneficial interests retained in a securitization transaction accounted for as a sale as interest income in the Corporation's consolidated statement of income. This income was previously recorded as securitization income in the Corporation's consolidated statement of income. The Corporation includes these retained beneficial interests in accounts receivable from securitizations on the consolidated statement of financial condition. The implementation of EITF 99-20 did not impact the Corporation's consolidated net income. LOAN RECEIVABLES Interest income generated by the Corporation's loan receivables increased $89.4 million and $150.5 million to $689.7 million and $1.3 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, from the same periods in 2000, respectively. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was primarily the result of an increase in average loan receivables of $2.8 billion and $2.1 billion from the same periods in 2000, respectively. The yield on loan receivables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was 13.84% and 14.03%, as compared to 14.01% and 13.90% for the same periods in 2000. Table 1 presents the Corporation's period end loan receivables distribution by loan type, excluding securitized loans. Loan receivables increased 2.9% to $20.5 billion at June 30, 2001, as compared to $20.0 billion at December 31, 2000. Domestic credit card loan receivables decreased to $12.0 billion at June 30, 2001, from $13.0 billion at December 31, 2000. The decrease in domestic credit card loan receivables was a result of the Corporation's securitization of $4.3 billion of domestic credit card loan receivables, while $3.3 billion of previously securitized domestic credit card loan receivables amortized back into the Corporation's loan portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Corporation also acquired $266.2 million of domestic credit card loan receivables during the six months ended June 30, 2001. Domestic other consumer loan receivables increased to $5.0 billion at June 30, 2001 from $3.8 billion at December 31, 2000. The increase in domestic other consumer loan receivables was a result of loan growth in the Corporation's lines of credit accessed through checks and sales finance accounts. Foreign loan receivables increased $429.3 million to $3.6 billion at June 30, 2001 from $3.1 billion at December 31, 2000. The growth in foreign loan receivables was primarily a result of MBNA Europe's acquisition of $394.0 million of credit card loan receivables during the six months ended June 30, 2001. The growth in foreign loan receivables was partially offset by the securitization of CAD$350.0 million (approximately $227.5 million) of foreign credit card loan receivables by MBNA Canada during the six months ended June 30, 2001. TABLE 1: LOAN RECEIVABLES DISTRIBUTION (dollars in thousands) June 30, December 31, 2001 2000 ------------- ------------- (unaudited) Loans held for securitization: Domestic: Credit card.................................. $ 6,149,935 $ 6,396,652 Other consumer............................... 33,950 1,022,756 ------------- ------------- Total domestic loans held for securitization............................ 6,183,885 7,419,408 Foreign........................................ 925,082 852,525 ------------- ------------- Total loans held for securitization........ 7,108,967 8,271,933 Loan portfolio: Domestic: Credit card.................................. 5,851,626 6,612,913 Other consumer............................... 4,955,054 2,799,289 ------------- ------------- Total domestic loan portfolio.............. 10,806,680 9,412,202 Foreign........................................ 2,627,448 2,270,702 ------------- ------------- Total loan portfolio....................... 13,434,128 11,682,904 ------------- ------------- Total loan receivables..................... $ 20,543,095 $ 19,954,837 ============= ============= DEPOSITS Total interest expense on deposits was $365.5 million and $742.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $293.0 million and $568.1 million for the same periods in 2000, respectively. The increase in interest expense on deposits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was primarily the result of a $4.7 billion and a $4.8 billion increase in average interest-bearing deposits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same periods in 2000, respectively. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was a result of the Corporation's continued emphasis on marketing domestic certificates of deposit and money market deposit accounts to members of certain affinity groups, as well as obtaining other domestic time deposits through the use of third-party intermediaries, to fund loan and other asset growth and to diversify funding sources. BORROWED FUNDS Interest expense on short-term borrowings decreased to $1.7 million and $4.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $11.5 million and $23.6 million for the same periods in 2000, respectively. The decrease in interest expense on short-term borrowings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was a result of a decrease of $608.5 million and $611.6 million in average short-term borrowings, respectively, as the Corporation's short-term domestic funding needs declined during the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. In addition, rates paid on average short-term borrowings decreased 130 basis points and 81 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 from the same periods in 2000, respectively. Interest expense on long-term debt and bank notes decreased to $86.4 million and $185.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $95.1 million and $191.6 million for the same periods in 2000, respectively. The decrease in interest expense on long-term debt and bank notes was a result of a decrease in rates paid on average domestic long-term debt and bank notes of 133 basis points and 64 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same periods in 2000, respectively. Interest expense on foreign long-term debt and bank notes increased $7.3 million and $15.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same periods in 2000, as a result of an increase in average foreign long-term debt and bank notes of $540.7 million and $511.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same periods in 2000, as MBNA Europe issued additional long-term debt and bank notes.

(b) The fully taxable equivalent adjustment for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $1,150. OTHER OPERATING INCOME Total other operating income increased 34.6% or $407.0 million and 33.8% or $768.2 million to $1.6 billion and $3.0 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, from the same periods in 2000, respectively. The increase in other operating income was primarily attributable to a $380.3 million or 38.6% and $721.3 million or 38.0% increase in securitization income to $1.4 billion and $2.6 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same periods in 2000, respectively. The increase in securitization income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was the result of a $12.4 billion and $13.5 billion or 21.9% and 24.3% increase in average securitized loans from the same periods in 2000, respectively. Also, the securitized net interest margin increased to 9.64% and 9.27% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to 7.90% and 7.88% for the same periods in 2000, respectively, as the yield earned on the Corporation's securitized loans increased and the rate paid to investors in the Corporation's securitized loan transactions decreased. The rate paid to investors in the Corporation's securitized loan transactions decreased as a result of the actions by the Federal Reserve Board in 2001 to lower overall market interest rates. The rate paid to investors generally reprices on a monthly basis. Therefore, lower market interest rates in 2001 decreased the rate paid to investors during the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in the Corporation's securitized net interest margin was offset by an increase in the net credit loss rates on the Corporation's securitized loans to 5.36% and 5.06% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, from 4.52% and 4.57% for the same periods in 2000. Insurance income increased $10.6 million and $22.7 million to $30.1 million and $59.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the same periods in 2000, respectively. The increase in insurance income was primarily a result of growth in credit life insurance commissions, in addition to the introduction of a credit protection insurance product in the first quarter of 2001. Other income increased to $86.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $64.1 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was primarily a result of the Corporation receiving incentive payments from MasterCard International Inc. and Visa U.S.A., Inc. for meeting certain incentive targets. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE Total other operating expense increased 15.0% to $1.0 billion and 17.1% to $2.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $911.3 million and $1.8 billion for the same periods in 2000, respectively. The growth in other operating expense reflects the Corporation's continued investment in attracting, servicing, and retaining credit card and other consumer loan Customers. The Corporation added 4.7 million new accounts (5.6 million new customers) during the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Corporation also added 227 new endorsements from organizations during the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Corporation has also continued to invest in its other consumer loan, foreign, and insurance agency businesses. Included in the growth in total other operating expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $57.3 million and $131.5 million to $439.5 million and $878.5 million from the same periods in 2000, respectively. The increase in salaries and employee benefits reflects an increase in the number of people to service the Corporation's higher number of Customers. At June 30, 2001, the Corporation had approximately 24,000 full-time equivalent employees, as compared to 20,600 full-time equivalent employees at June 30, 2000. The growth in other operating expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 also includes amortization of intangible assets which increased $34.5 million and $79.8 million to $92.1 million and $190.1 million, as compared to the same periods in 2000, respectively. The increase in the amortization of intangible assets was the result of a higher level of intangible assets resulting from the Corporation's loan portfolio acquisitions. Table 3 provides further detail regarding the Corporation's other operating expenses.

As new loans season, the delinquency rate on these loans generally rises and then stabilizes. DELINQUENCIES An account is contractually delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the specified date on the Customer's statement. However, the Corporation generally continues to accrue interest until the loan is either paid or charged off. Delinquency as a percentage of the Corporation's loan portfolio was 3.89% at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. The Corporation's delinquency as a percentage of managed loans was 4.57% at June 30, 2001, as compared to 4.49% at December 31, 2000. Table 4 presents the stages of delinquency of the Corporation's loan portfolio, excluding loans held for securitization.

NET CREDIT LOSSES The Corporation's policy is to charge off open-end delinquent accounts by the end of the month in which the account becomes 180 days contractually past due, closed-end retail loans by the end of the month in which they become 120 days contractually past due, and bankrupt accounts within 60 days of receiving notification from the bankruptcy courts. The Corporation charges off deceased accounts when the loss is determined. The Corporation sells charged-off receivables and records the proceeds received from these sales as recoveries, thereby reducing net credit losses. Net credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 were $148.4 million and $282.2 million, as compared to $89.3 million and $189.1 million for the same periods in 2000. Net credit losses do not include credit losses from securitized loans, which are charged to the related trusts in accordance with their respective contractual agreements. The net credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 reflect increases in the Corporation's outstanding loan receivables, general economic conditions, the seasoning of the Corporation's accounts, and an increase in bankruptcy filings, offset by recoveries from the sale of charged-off receivables. Net credit losses as a percentage of average loan receivables were 2.97% and 2.91% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to 2.07% and 2.18% for the same periods in 2000, respectively. The Corporation's managed credit losses as a percentage of average managed loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 were 4.82% and 4.59%, as compared to 3.95% and 4.01% for the same periods in 2000, respectively. RESERVE AND PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE CREDIT LOSSES The loan portfolio is regularly reviewed to determine an appropriate reserve for possible credit losses based upon the impact of economic conditions on the borrowers' ability to repay, past collection experience, the risk characteristics of the portfolio, and other factors. A provision is charged against earnings to maintain the reserve at an appropriate level. The provision for possible credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $260.2 million and $412.2 million, as compared to $89.3 million and $189.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in the provision for possible credit losses primarily reflects an increase in anticipated future net credit losses, as the Corporation has experienced an increased number of bankruptcy filings and an increase in the on-balance sheet loan portfolio. Table 6 presents an analysis of the Corporation's reserve for possible credit losses. The reserve for possible credit losses is a general allowance applicable to the Corporation's loan portfolio and does not include an allocation for credit risk related to securitized loans. Losses on securitized loans are absorbed directly by the related trusts under their respective contractual agreements and do not affect the reserve for possible credit losses.

The Bank and MBNA Delaware are also subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Under these requirements, the federal bank regulatory agencies have established quantitative measures to ensure that minimum thresholds for Tier 1 Capital, Total Capital, and Leverage ratios are maintained. Failure to meet these minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary, actions by the federal bank regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's, the Bank's, and MBNA Delaware's consolidated financial statements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation, the Bank, and MBNA Delaware must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's, the Bank's, and MBNA Delaware's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the federal bank regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Corporation's, the Bank's, and MBNA Delaware's capital exceeded all minimum regulatory requirements to which they are subject, and the Bank and MBNA Delaware were "well-capitalized" as defined under the federal bank regulatory guidelines. The risk-based capital ratios, shown in Table 7, have been computed in accordance with regulatory accounting practices.

DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS The payment of dividends in the future and the amount of such dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Corporation's Board of Directors. The payment of preferred and common stock dividends by the Corporation may be limited by certain factors, including regulatory capital requirements, broad enforcement powers of the federal bank regulatory agencies, and tangible net worth maintenance requirements under the Corporation's revolving credit facilities. The payment of common stock dividends may also be limited by the terms of the outstanding preferred stock. If the Corporation has not paid scheduled dividends on the preferred stock, or declared the dividends and set aside funds for payment, the Corporation may not declare or pay any cash dividends on the common stock. In addition, if the Corporation defers interest payments for consecutive periods covering 10 semiannual periods or 20 consecutive quarterly periods, depending on the series, on its guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in Corporation's junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures, the Corporation may not be permitted to declare or pay any cash dividends on the Corporation's capital stock or interest on debt securities that have equal or lower priority than the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation declared dividends on its preferred stock of $7.1 million and on its common stock of $153.3 million. On July 11, 2001, the Corporation's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.09 per common share, payable October 1, 2001 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2001. Also, on July 11, 2001, the Corporation's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.46875 per share on the 7 1/2% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A, and a quarterly dividend of $.3502 per share on the Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B. The preferred stock dividends are payable October 15, 2001 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2001. The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking and other subsidiaries. The primary source of funds for payment of preferred and common stock dividends by the Corporation is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that a national bank may declare in any year is subject to certain regulatory restrictions. Generally, dividends declared in a given year by a national bank are limited to its net profit, as defined by regulatory agencies, for that year, combined with its retained net income for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or to a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock. In addition, a national bank may not pay any dividends in an amount greater than its undivided profit. Under current regulatory practice, national banks may pay dividends only out of current operating earnings. Also, a bank may not declare dividends if such declaration would leave the bank inadequately capitalized. Therefore, the ability of the Bank to declare dividends will depend on its future net income and capital requirements. At June 30, 2001, the amount of retained earnings available for declaration and payment of dividends from the Bank to the Corporation was $2.4 billion. Payment of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation, however, can be further limited by federal bank regulatory agencies. The Bank's payment of dividends to the Corporation may also be limited by a tangible net worth requirement under the senior syndicated revolving credit facility. This facility was not drawn upon at June 30, 2001. If this facility had been drawn upon at June 30, 2001, the amount of retained earnings available for declaration of dividends would have been further limited to $963.2 million. LIQUIDITY AND RATE SENSITIVITY The Corporation seeks to maintain prudent levels of liquidity, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk. LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT Liquidity management is the process by which the Corporation manages the use and availability of various funding sources to meet its current and future operating needs. These needs change as loans grow, deposits mature, and payments on obligations are made. Because the characteristics of the Corporation's assets and liabilities change, liquidity management is a dynamic process, affected by the pricing and maturity of loans, deposits, and other assets and liabilities. This process is also affected by changes in the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates. To facilitate liquidity management, the Corporation uses a variety of funding sources to establish a maturity pattern that provides a prudent mixture of short-term and long-term funds. The Corporation obtains funds through deposits and debt issuance, and uses securitization of the Corporation's loan receivables as a major funding alternative. In addition, liquidity is provided to the Corporation through committed credit facilities. Total deposits at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 were $24.8 billion and $24.3 billion, respectively. Included in total deposits at June 30, 2001 are $522.3 million of foreign time deposits, which generally mature within one year. Table 8 provides the maturities of the Corporation's deposits at June 30, 2001.

MBNA Canada renegotiated its multi-currency syndicated revolving credit facility in July 2001 for CAD$350.0 million (approximately $229.8 million) extending its maturity through July 2004. MBNA Canada may take advances under the facility subject to covenants and conditions customary in a transaction of this kind and was not drawn upon as of June 30, 2001. The Corporation also held $3.4 billion in investment securities and $2.9 billion of money market instruments at June 30, 2001, compared to $3.1 billion in investment securities and $2.2 billion in money market instruments at December 31, 2000. The investment securities primarily consist of high- quality, AAA-rated securities, most of which can be used as collateral under repurchase agreements. Of the investment securities at June 30, 2001, $1.6 billion is anticipated to mature within twelve months. The Corporation's investment securities available-for-sale portfolio, which consists primarily of U.S. Treasury obligations or short-term and variable-rate securities, was $3.0 billion at June 30, 2001 and $2.7 billion at December 31, 2000. These investment securities, along with the money market instruments, provide increased liquidity and flexibility to support the Corporation's funding requirements. Estimated maturities, including the impact of estimated prepayments of the Corporation's investment securities portfolio, are presented in Table 9.

The management of interest rate sensitivity attempts to maximize earnings by minimizing any negative impacts of changing market rates, asset and liability mix, and prepayment trends. The Corporation analyzes its level of interest rate risk using several analytical techniques, which include the impact of on-balance-sheet financial instruments. In addition to on-balance-sheet activities, interest rate risk includes the interest rate sensitivity of securitization income from securitized loans and the impact of interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange swap agreements. The Corporation uses interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange swap agreements to change a portion of fixed-rate funding sources to floating-rate funding sources to better match the rate sensitivity of the Corporation's assets. For this reason, the Corporation analyzes its level of interest rate risk on a managed basis to quantify and capture the full impact of interest rate risk on the Corporation's earnings. An analytical technique that the Corporation uses to measure interest rate risk is simulation analysis. Key assumptions in the Corporation's simulation analysis include cash flows and maturities of interest rate sensitive instruments, changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing, consumer preferences, fixed-rate credit card repricings as part of the Corporation's normal planned business strategy, and management's capital plans. Also included in the analysis are various actions which the Corporation would undertake to minimize the impact of adverse movements in interest rates. The Corporation has the contractual right to reprice fixed-rate credit card loans at any time, by giving notice to the Customer. Accordingly, a key assumption in the simulation analysis is the repricing of fixed-rate credit card loans in response to movements in interest rates, with a lag of approximately 45 days between interest rate movements and fixed-rate credit card loan repricings. The Corporation has repriced its fixed-rate credit card loans on numerous occasions in the past, and expects to continue to do so in response to changes in interest rates, market conditions, or other factors. Based on the simulation analysis at June 30, 2001, the Corporation could experience a decrease in projected net income during the next twelve months of approximately $48 million, if interest rates at the time the simulation analysis was performed increased 100 basis points over the 12 months. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the analysis cannot precisely predict the impact of higher interest rates on net income. Actual results would differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, and management strategies to offset the Corporation's potential exposure, among other factors. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE SENSITIVITY Foreign currency exchange rate risk refers to the potential changes in current and future earnings or capital arising from movements in foreign exchange rates. The Corporation's foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited to the unhedged portion of the Corporation's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. The Corporation uses forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange swap agreements to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Management reviews the foreign currency exchange rate risk of the Corporation on a routine basis. During this review, management considers the net impact to stockholders' equity under various foreign exchange rate scenarios. At June 30, 2001, the Corporation could experience a decrease in stockholders' equity, net of tax, of approximately $52 million, as a result of a 10% depreciation of the Corporation's unhedged capital exposure in foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. dollar position. The Corporation does not have any other off-balance-sheet derivative financial instruments. The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("Statement No. 133"), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" ("Statement No. 137") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("Statement No. 138") on January 1, 2001. The standards required that all derivative instruments be recorded on the Corporation's consolidated statement of financial condition at fair value and established criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Corporation recognized a $2.5 million (pretax) loss upon implementation of Statement No. 133, as amended by Statement No. 137 and Statement No. 138, on January 1, 2001. ASSET SECURITIZATION In September 2000, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities-a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125" ("Statement No. 140"), was issued. Statement No. 140 replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("Statement No. 125"), and revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of Statement No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. The Corporation adopted Statement No. 140's revised accounting standards for all transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The implementation of Statement No. 140 did not impact the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. Asset securitization of loan receivables is accomplished primarily through the public and private issuance of asset-backed securities. As loan receivables are securitized, the Corporation's on-balance-sheet funding needs are reduced by the amount of loans securitized. Asset securitization involves the sale, generally to a trust, of a pool of loan receivables. The Corporation continues to own the accounts that generate the loan receivables. In addition, the Corporation also sells the rights to new loan receivables, including most fees generated by the accounts and payments received from the accounts, to the trust. The trust sells undivided interests in the trust to investors, while the Corporation retains the remaining undivided interest. The senior classes of the asset-backed securities receive a AAA credit rating at the time of issuance. This AAA credit rating is generally achieved through the sale of lower rated subordinated classes of asset-backed securities. The Corporation continues to service the accounts and receives a contractual servicing fee for doing so. During the revolving period, which generally ranges from 24 months to 108 months, the trust makes no principal payments to the investors. Instead, the trust uses principal payments received on the accounts to purchase new loan receivables generated by these accounts, in accordance with the terms of the transaction, so that the principal dollar amount of the investor's undivided interest remains unchanged. Once the revolving period ends, the amortization period begins and the trust distributes principal payments to the investors according to the terms of the transaction. When the trust allocates principal payments to the investors, the Corporation's on-balance-sheet loan receivables increase by the amount of any new purchases or cash advance activity on the accounts. Distribution of principal to investors may begin sooner if the average annualized yield (generally including interest income, interchange, and other fees) for three consecutive months drops below a minimum yield (generally equal to the sum of the coupon rate payable to investors, contractual servicing fees, and principal credit losses during the period) or certain other events occur. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation securitized credit card loan receivables totaling $2.5 billion and $4.5 billion, while $1.5 billion and $3.3 billion of previously securitized credit card and other consumer loan receivables amortized or matured. Included in the securitization activity during the three months ended June 30, 2001 is CAD$350.0 million (approximately $227.5 million) of credit card loan receivables issued by MBNA Canada. The total amount of outstanding securitized loans was $69.9 billion or 77.3% of managed loans at June 30, 2001, compared to $68.8 billion or 77.5% at December 31, 2000. An additional $4.2 billion of previously securitized loans is scheduled to amortize or mature during the remainder of 2001. The amortization amount is based upon estimated amortization periods, which are subject to change. Table 10 shows the Corporation's securitized loan distribution.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In May 1996, Andrew B. Spark filed a lawsuit against the Corporation, the Bank and certain of its officers and its subsidiary MBNA Marketing Systems, Inc. The case is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. This suit is a purported class action. The plaintiff alleges that the Bank's advertising of its cash promotional annual percentage rate program was fraudulent and deceptive. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages including actual, treble and punitive damages and attorneys' fees for an alleged breach of contract, violation of the Delaware Deceptive Trade Practices Act and violation of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. In February 1998, a class was certified by the District Court. In September 2000, the Court gave preliminary approval to a settlement of this suit for approximately $8.7 million. A hearing on final approval was held on May 24, 2001. On August 1, 2001, the court entered an order approving a settlement payout, including fees and costs, of approximately $5.1 million. In October 1998, Gerald D. Broder filed a lawsuit against the Corporation and the Bank in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York. This suit is a purported class action. The plaintiff alleges that the Bank's advertising of its cash promotional annual percentage rate program was fraudulent and deceptive. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages including actual, treble and punitive damages and attorneys' fees for an alleged breach of contract, common law fraud and violation of New York consumer protection statutes. In April 2000, summary judgment was granted to the Corporation and the Bank on the common law fraud claim and a class was certified by the Court. In May 2000, the Corporation and the Bank filed an appeal from the order certifying a class. In March 2001, the order was affirmed by the appellate court. In October 2000, plaintiff filed a motion for partial summary judgement. That motion is pending. The Corporation and the Bank believe that their advertising practices were and are proper under applicable federal and state law and intend to defend this action vigorously. ITEM 6.
