FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not
historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and
expectations, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
cover, among other things, projected earnings growth, anticipated future
expenses and revenues, and the future prospects of the Company. Forward-looking
statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could
cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including the
following, in addition to those contained in the Company's reports on file with
the SEC: (i) general economic or industry conditions could be less favorable
than expected, resulting in a deterioration in credit quality, a change in the
allowance for credit losses, or a reduced demand for credit or fee-based
products and services; (ii) changes in the domestic interest rate environment
could reduce net interest income and could increase credit losses; (iii) the
conditions of the securities markets could change, adversely affecting revenues
from capital markets businesses, the value or credit quality of the Company's
on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet assets, or the availability and terms of
funding necessary to meet the Company's liquidity needs; (iv) changes in the
extensive laws, regulations and policies governing financial services companies
could alter the Company's business environment or affect operations; (v) the
potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems,
on which the Company is highly dependent, could present operational issues or
require significant capital spending; (vi) competitive pressures could intensify
and affect the Company's profitability, including as a result of continued
industry consolidation, the increased availability of financial services from
non-banks, technological developments such as the Internet, or bank regulatory
reform; and (vii) acquisitions may not produce revenue enhancements or cost
savings at levels or within time frames originally anticipated, or may result in
unforeseen integration difficulties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them
in light of new information or future events.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
EARNINGS SUMMARY U.S. Bancorp (the "Company") reported net income of $562.3
million in the second quarter of 2001, or $.29 per diluted share, compared with
$709.8 million, or $.37 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2000. Return
on average assets and return on average common equity were 1.37 percent and 14.4
percent in the second quarter of 2001, compared with 1.81 percent and 20.0
percent for the same period of 2000. Net income reflects after-tax merger and
restructuring-related charges of $256.3 million ($391.9 million on a pretax
basis) in the second quarter of 2001 compared with $54.3 million ($81.9 on a
pre-tax basis) in the second quarter of 2000. Merger and restructuring-related
items on a pre-tax basis included a $62.2 million gain on the sale of branches
offset by $233.2 million of noninterest expenses and $201.3 million of provision
for credit losses associated with the merger of Firstar and the former U.S.
Bancorp ("USBM"). Merger and restructuring-related items also included $5.4
million of restructuring charges for U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and $14.2
million of noninterest expense for other recent acquisitions including the
merger with Mercantile Bancorporation, Scripps Financial Corporation and the
purchase of 41 branches in Tennessee from First Union National Bank.
The Company reported operating earnings (net income excluding merger and
restructuring-related charges) of $818.6 million for the second quarter of 2001,
compared with $764.1 million for the second quarter of 2000. Operating earnings
of $.43 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2001 were $.03, or 7.5
percent, higher than the same period of 2000. On a cash basis, operating
earnings increased to $.49 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2001 from
$.45 in the second quarter of 2000. Return on average common equity and return
on average assets, excluding merger and restructuring-related charges, were 21.0
percent and 1.99 percent, respectively, in the second quarter of 2001, compared
with returns of 21.6 percent and 1.95 percent in the second quarter of 2000.
Excluding merger and restructuring-related charges, the efficiency ratio (the
ratio of expenses to revenues) was 47.6 percent in the second quarter of 2001,
compared with 48.7 percent in the second quarter of 2000. The banking efficiency
ratio (the efficiency ratio without the impact of investment banking and
brokerage activity) before merger and restructuring-related charges was 41.7
percent in second quarter of 2001 compared with 44.1 percent for the same period
in 2000.
Operating earnings for the first six months of 2001 included a number of
significant unusual gains and losses (summarized in Table 2). The net impact of
the unusual items was not material to the Company's operating earnings; however,
individual revenue and expense items were materially affected.
Total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis was $2.9 billion for the second
quarter of 2001 compared with $2.7 billion in second quarter of 2000, a 6.7
percent increase from a year ago. Total revenue, excluding merger and
restructuring-related gains of $62.2 million, on a taxable-equivalent basis for
the second quarter of 2001 grew by $120.3 million, or 4.4 percent, over the
second quarter of 2000. The increase reflects a 3.9 percent growth in net
interest income and a 5.1 percent increase in fee-based revenues. Included in
second quarter of 2001 revenues are $31.3 million of securities gains offset by
a $35 million gain on the disposal of an office building in second quarter of
2000. Core banking revenue, (revenue excluding capital markets activities,
nonrecurring income, acquisitions and divestitures) on a taxable-equivalent
basis, however, grew by approximately 6.5 percent quarter over second quarter of
2000. Total noninterest expense was $1.6 billion in second quarter of 2001
compared with $1.4 billion in second quarter of 2000. Total noninterest expense,
excluding merger and restructuring-related charges of $252.8 million, increased
over the second quarter of 2000 by $12.7 million, or 1.0 percent. The slight
increase primarily reflects growth in the core banking businesses and
acquisitions, principally offset by the reduction in capital markets activity
and cost savings from the integration of recent acquisitions. Refer to
"Acquisition and Divestiture Activity" for further information on the timing of
acquisitions and "Noninterest Expenses" for further discussion of merger and
restructuring-related charges. Provision for credit losses was $441.3 million in
the second quarter of 2001 compared with $201.3 million in the second quarter of
2000. Provision for credit losses, excluding merger and related-restructuring
items of $201.3 million, for the second quarter of 2001 increased by $38.7
million over the second quarter of 2000, reflecting the increase in
nonperforming assets

equity and return on average assets were 12.6 percent and 1.20 percent,
respectively, for the first six months of 2001, compared with returns of 19.8
percent and 1.80 percent, for the same period of 2000. Net income reflects
merger and restructuring-related charges of $643.5 million ($962.7 million on a
pre-tax basis) in the first half of 2001, compared with $97.3 million ($146.9
million on pre-tax basis) in the first half of 2000. Operating earnings for the
first six months of 2001 were $1,615.9 million compared with $1,493.9 million
for the first six months of 2000. On a diluted per share basis, operating
earnings were $.84 for the first half of 2001, compared with $.77 for the first
half of 2000. On a cash basis, operating earnings increased to $.96 per diluted
share in the first six months of 2001 from $.87 for the first six months of
2000. Year-to-date return on average common equity and return on average assets,
excluding merger and restructuring-related charges, were 21.0 percent and 1.99
percent, respectively, compared with returns of 21.2 percent and 1.93 percent,
respectively, in the first half of 2000. Excluding merger and
restructuring-related charges, the efficiency ratio (the ratio of expenses to
revenues) was 49.1 percent for the first six months of 2001, compared with 49.5
percent for the first six months of 2000. The banking efficiency ratio (the
efficiency ratio without the impact of investment banking and brokerage
activity) before merger and restructuring-related charges was 43.6 percent for
the first six months of 2001, compared with 44.7 percent for the same period in
2000.
Total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis was $5.9 billion for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 compared with $5.4 billion in the same period of
2000, a 8.6 percent increase from a year ago. Total revenue, excluding merger
and restructuring-related items, on a taxable-equivalent basis for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 was $5.8 billion compared with $5.4 billion, a 7.4
percent increase from a year ago. The increase reflects securities gains of
$247.3 million in 2001 compared with approximately $45.3 million of unusual
gains in 2000 including gains on the disposal of two office buildings. These net
gains are somewhat offset by adverse capital markets conditions during the first
six months of 2001 relative to the same period of a year ago. As a result of
these conditions, capital markets revenues and trust and asset management-
related revenues declined approximately $145 million from a year ago. Core
banking revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis for the six-month period grew by
6.9 percent over 2000. Total noninterest expense was $3.4 billion in first six
months of 2001 compared with $2.8 billion in the same period of 2000. Total
noninterest expense, excluding merger and restructuring-related charges of
$657.0 million, increased over the second quarter of 2000 by $49.4 million, or
1.8 percent. The increase primarily reflects $44.2 million of unusual expense
items, growth in the core banking businesses and acquisitions, principally
offset by the reduction in capital markets activity and cost savings from the
integration of recent acquisitions. Provision for credit losses was $973.7
million in first six months of 2001 compared with $384.5 million in the same
period of 2000. Provision for credit losses, excluding merger and
restructuring-related items of $367.9 million, for the first six months of 2001
increased by $221.3 million over the second quarter of 2000, reflecting the
increase in nonperforming assets and charge-offs from a year ago. Included in
the first quarter of 2001 provision was a $160.0 million provision related to
the Company's previously announced accelerated loan workout strategy.
The Company analyzes its performance on a net income basis determined in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
as well as on an operating basis before merger and restructuring-related items
referred to in this analysis as "operating earnings". Operating earnings and
related

discussions are presented as supplementary information in this analysis to
enhance the reader's understanding of, and highlight trends in, the Company's
core financial results excluding the non-recurring effects of discrete business
acquisitions and restructuring activities. Operating earnings should not be
viewed as a substitute for net income and earnings per share as determined in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Merger and restructuring-related charges excluded from net income to derive
operating earnings may be significant and may not be comparable to other
companies.
ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE ACTIVITY The Company is the organization created by
the merger of Firstar Corporation ("Firstar") of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the
former U.S. Bancorp ("USBM") of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The merger was completed
on February 27, 2001, as a pooling-of-interests transaction and accordingly all
financial information has been restated to include the historical information of
both companies.
Operating results for the first six months of 2001 reflect the following
transactions accounted for as purchases in 2000. On October 13, 2000, the
Company acquired Scripps Financial Corporation of San Diego, California, which
has 10 branches in San Diego county and total assets of $650 million. On
September 28, 2000, the Company acquired Lyon Financial Services, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the privately held Schwan's Sales Enterprises Inc. in
Marshall, Minnesota. Lyon Financial specializes in small-ticket lease
transactions and had $1.3 billion in assets. On April 7, 2000, the Company
acquired Oliver-Allen Corporation, Inc., a privately held information technology
leasing company with total assets of $280 million. On January 14, 2000, the
Company acquired Peninsula Bank of San Diego, California, which had 11 branches
in San Diego county and total assets of $491 million. In addition to these
business combinations, the Company purchased 41 branches in Tennessee from First
Union National Bank on December 8, 2000 representing approximately $424 million
in loans and $1.78 billion in deposits.
On May 7, 2001, the Company announced an agreement to acquire NOVA
Corporation (NYSE: NIS) in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately
$2.1 billion. The transaction was completed on July 24, 2001 and will be
accounted for as a purchase. On June 5, 2001, the Company announced an agreement
to purchase 20 branches from Pacific Century Bank in a cash transaction. The
acquisition includes approximately $640 million in deposits, $570 million in
loans and 300 employees. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the
third quarter of 2001.
During the second quarter of 2001, the Company completed the sale of 14
branches in connection with the merger of USBM and Firstar representing $771
million of deposits and recognizing a $62.2 million merger-related gain. The
branches were principally located in Minnesota and Iowa. Refer to Note 3 and
Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding business combinations.
LINE OF BUSINESS FINANCIAL REVIEW
Within the Company, financial performance is measured by major lines of
business which include: Wholesale Banking, Consumer Banking, Private Client,
Trust and Asset Management, Payment Services, Capital Markets and Treasury and
Other Corporate Support. Business line results are derived from the Company's
profitability reporting systems. Designations, assignments and allocations may
change from time to time as management accounting systems are enhanced, product
lines change or business segments are realigned to better respond to our diverse
customer base. During the first and second quarters of 2001, certain
organizational and methodology changes were made to reflect the recent merger of
Firstar and USBM. All results for 2001 and 2000 have been restated to present
consistent methodologies for all business lines.
Wholesale Banking offers lending, depository, treasury management and other
financial services to middle market, large corporate and public sector clients.
Wholesale Banking contributed $440.7 million of the Company's pre-tax income in
the second quarter of 2001 and $890.9 million in the first six months of 2001, a
5.9 percent and 9.1 percent increase, respectively, over the same periods of
2000. Total revenue grew by 7.6 percent and 10.7 percent from the second quarter
and first six months of 2000 to the second quarter and first six months of 2001.
Net interest income increased 4.4 percent for the second quarter and 8.2 percent
for the first six months of 2001 primarily due to core deposit growth and the
acquisition of Lyon Financial offset somewhat by the impact of declining rates
on the funding benefit of deposits. Noninterest income increased 18.2 percent in
the second quarter and 19.5 percent in the first six months of 2001 reflecting
revenue related to the leasing acquisition, core growth in syndication and cash
management-related fees, and securitization income related to commercial loans
transferred to an off-balance sheet loan conduit. Offsetting the favorable
variance in total revenue was an increase in noninterest expense (11.2 percent
in the second quarter and 14.7 percent in the first six months of 2001),
primarily due to the leasing acquisitions and planned growth in targeted
markets.

Additionally, the provision for credit losses increased $13.2 million, or 16.7
percent, during the second quarter of 2001 compared with the same period of a
year ago and $13.5 million, or 18.3 percent during the first six months of 2001.
The increase reflects deterioration in nonperforming commercial loans and
economic trends impacting this business unit's loan portfolio.
Consumer Banking delivers products and services to the broad consumer market
and small businesses through banking offices, telemarketing, on-line services,
direct mail and automated teller machines ("ATMs"). It encompasses community
banking, metropolitan banking, small business banking, consumer lending,
mortgage banking and investment sales. Consumer Banking contributed $505.7
million and $968.5 million of the Company's pre-tax income in the second quarter
and first six months of 2001, a 3.6 percent decrease from both the second
quarter and the first six months of 2000. Total revenue grew by 3.1 percent in
the second quarter of 2001 and 3.4 percent in the first six months of 2001 over
the same periods of 2000. Fee based revenue increased 25.3 percent for the
second quarter and 24.0 percent for the first six months of 2001 as compared
with the same periods of 2000, while net interest income declined 4.7 percent
and 3.5 percent, in the second quarter and first six months of 2001,
respectively. The decline in net interest income reflects the impact of
declining rates on the funding benefit of consumer deposits. It also reflect the
divestiture of home equity and indirect automobile loans in the first quarter of
2001 and branch divestitures completed during the second quarter of 2001 in
connection with the merger of Firstar and USBM. The decline was partially offset
by a funding benefit of approximately $14 million related to the acquisition of
41 branches in Tennessee. Growth in fee-based revenue is primarily attributed to
an increase in retail deposit and cash management fees, the result of process
changes, product-related pricing enhancements and fee revenue related to the
Tennessee branch acquisition. Mortgage banking revenue also contributed to the
favorable variance. Partially offsetting the increase in revenue was an increase
in noninterest expense (8.1 percent for the second quarter and 6.0 percent for
the first six months) primarily related to growth in mortgage banking activities
and the Tennessee branch acquisition. Additionally, the provision for credit
losses increased $16.6 million, or 20.1 percent, during the second quarter of
2001 compared with the same period of a year ago and $53.6 million, or 33.9
percent during the first six months of 2001. The increase reflects deterioration
in nonperforming loans, higher consumer bankruptcies and economic trends
impacting the business unit's loan and retail leasing portfolios.
Private Client, Trust and Asset Management provides mutual fund processing
services, trust, private banking and financial advisory services through four
businesses, including: the Private Client Group, Corporate Trust, Institutional
Trust and Custody, and Mutual Fund Services, LLC. The business segment also
offers investment management services to several client segments including
mutual funds, institutional customers, and private asset management. Private
Client, Trust and Asset Management contributed $159.3 million of the Company's
pre-tax income in the second quarter of 2001 and $307.7 million in the first six
months of 2001, a 2.0 percent and 3.6 percent decline, respectively, from the
same periods of 2000. Strong growth in net interest income in the second quarter
and first six months of 2001 from the same periods of 2000, was driven by core
loan and deposit growth partially offset by the impact of declining rates on the
funding benefit of deposits. Noninterest income declined during the second
quarter and or the first six months of 2001 compared with a year ago primarily
due to lower trust and investment management fees being adversely affected by
current capital market conditions. Noninterest expense decreased .7 percent in
the second quarter of 2001 compared with a year ago while increasing 2.1 percent
during the first six months of 2001 as compared with the same period of 2000.
The increase in noninterest expenses is primarily driven by changes in
compensation for investment managers to meet competitive salary structures
offset by cost savings from integration activities.
Payment Services includes consumer and business credit cards, corporate and
purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit, ATM processing and merchant
processing. Payment Services contributed $173.8 million of the Company's pre-tax
income in the second quarter of 2001, a .1 percent decline from second quarter
of 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the business unit contributed
$354.8 million, representing a 6.3 percent increase over the same period of
2000. Total revenue growth was 8.2 percent and 10.0 percent for the second
quarter and first six months of 2001, respectively. The growth in net interest
income was primarily due to repricing characteristics of the credit card
portfolio during the recent declining rate environment and a co-branded
portfolio acquisition completed in 2000. Growth in noninterest income represents
primarily credit card and payment processing fees, particularly in corporate
payment and debit card products. Revenue growth was partially offset by an
increase in noninterest expense (9.7 percent for the

second quarter and 9.7 percent for the first six months of 2001) primarily
related to merchant and debit card processing costs. Additionally, the provision
for credit losses increased $20.1 million, or 23.0 percent, during the second
quarter of 2001 compared with the same period of a year ago and $29.8 million,
or 17.6 percent during the first six months of 2001. The increase in provision
reflects deterioration in delinquencies, higher bankruptcies and credit losses
in the credit card portfolio and the economic slowdown impacting consumers.
Capital Markets engages in equity and fixed income trading activities,
offers investment banking and underwriting services for corporate and public
sector customers and provides financial advisory services and securities, mutual
funds, annuities and insurance products to consumers and regionally-based
businesses through a network of brokerage offices. Capital Markets contributed
$32.4 million of the Company's pre-tax income in the second quarter and $61.7
million for the first six months of 2001, a 45.1 percent and 52.6 percent
decline, respectively, from the second quarter and first six months of 2000. The
unfavorable variances in pre-tax income from the second quarter of 2000 were due
to significant decreases in fees related to trading, investment product fees and
commissions and investment banking revenues reflecting recent adverse capital
market conditions. In response to significant changes in the securities markets
including increased volatility, changes in equity valuations, a slow down in the
market for new and secondary issuances of equity and the increasingly
competitive environment for the industry, U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray began
restructuring its operations during the first quarter 2001. Additionally in June
2001, the Company decided to discontinue U.S. Bancorp Libra operations, a
business unit that specializes in underwriting and trading high-yield debt and
mezzanine securities. Refer to "Noninterest Expenses" on page 13 for further
discussion.
Treasury and Corporate Support includes the Company's investment and
residential mortgage portfolios, funding, capital management and asset
securitization activities, interest rate risk management, and the net effect of
transfer pricing related to loan and deposit balances. The provision for credit
losses represents the residual aggregate of the credit losses allocated to the
reportable business units and the Company's recorded provision determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
It also includes business activities managed on a corporate basis, including
income and expense of enterprise-wide operations and administrative support
functions. Treasury and Corporate Support recorded a pre-tax loss of $43.4
million in the second quarter of 2001 and $100.2 million in the first six months
of 2001, compared to losses of $136.7 million in the second quarter of 2000 and

due to higher average investments from a year ago due to net purchases during
the first and second quarter of 2001 and the benefit of declining interest rates
given the existing interest rate risk management position. Included in the
second quarter 2001 was $31.3 million of securities gains compared to $.3
million in the second quarter of 2000. On a comparative basis, the second
quarter of 2000 included a $35.0 million gain on the disposal of an office
building. Noninterest expenses were $363.2 million in the second quarter of 2001
compared with $389.3 million for the same period of 2000. The decline is
primarily due to cost savings from previously completed acquisitions and merger
integration activities. Noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30,
2001 were $774.3 million compared with $748.3 million for the first six months
of 2000. The increase of $25.7 million is primarily related to $36.8 million of
partnership and equity losses recognized in the first quarter of 2001 partially
offset by cost savings from merger integration activities. Refer to Table 2
"Significant Items in Operating Earnings" on page 5 and "Noninterest Expenses"
on page 13 for further discussion. Provision for credit losses for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 was $96.5 million compared with a net recovery of
$13.5 million in 2000. Included in the provision for credit losses in 2001 was
$130.0 million in connection with an accelerated loan workout strategy.
STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME Second quarter net interest income on a taxable-equivalent
basis was $1,586.0 million, compared with $1,526.8 million recorded in the
second quarter of 2000. Year-to-date net interest income on a taxable-equivalent
basis was $3,160.1 million, compared with $3,038.6 million for the first six
months of 2000. The second quarter and year-to-date average earning assets
increased $5.2 billion or 3.7 percent, and $6.2 billion, or 4.5 percent,
respectively, over the comparable periods of 2000. These increases are primarily
driven by increases in the investment portfolio, core commercial and retail loan
growth, and the impact of acquisitions. This growth is partially offset by a
$2.1 billion decline in lower margin residential mortgages and a $4.2 billion
reduction related to transfers of low margin, higher quality, commercial loans
to Stellar Funding Group, Inc. ("loan conduit"). The net interest margin was
flat in the second quarter of 2001 at 4.37 percent, compared with second quarter
of 2000 while the year-to-date net interest margin decreased from 4.41 percent
in 2000 to 4.39 percent in 2001. The relatively flat net interest margin
reflects the funding benefit of the declining rate environment, product
repricing dynamics and loan conduit activities, offset by the first quarter 2001
sale of the high loan-to-value home equity and indirect automobile portfolios
and lower yields on the investment portfolio. Total average loans for the second
quarter of 2001 were $2.5 billion higher, or 2.1 percent, higher than the second
quarter of 2000 and year-to-date average loans were $4.8 billion higher, or 4.2
percent, higher than the first half of 2000. Year-over-year loan growth was
impacted by several management actions, including the first quarter of 2001 sale
of the home equity and indirect automobile loan portfolios, recent acquisitions,
branch divestitures, and funding of short-term, high quality, commercial loans
through the loan conduit. In addition, the Company continued to reduce its lower
margin residential mortgage portfolio. Excluding residential mortgage loans,
average loans for the second quarter were higher by $4.5 billion, or 4.2
percent, than the second quarter of 2000, reflecting both core loan growth and
acquisitions. Core loan growth (total average loans for the second quarter,
excluding residential mortgage loans and the impact of acquisitions and loan
sales, but including loans funded in the loan conduit) grew by $6.7 billion, or
6.2 percent, over the second quarter of 2000.
Investment securities at June 30, 2001, were $4.0 billion more than at June
30, 2000, and $4.6 billion higher than at March 31, 2001, reflecting net
purchases of securities. Average investment securities for the second quarter
and first six months of 2001 were $3.7 billion higher (21.0 percent) and $1.9
billion higher (10.8 percent), respectively, than the same periods of 2000.
Average noninterest-bearing deposits, excluding the impact of branch
divestitures, in the second quarter of 2001 were higher that the second quarter
of 2000 by $563 million, or 2.4 percent. Average interest-bearing deposits,
excluding the impact of branch divestitures, grew by $4.0 billion, or 5.1
percent, over the second quarter of 2000, reflecting bank and branch
acquisitions, growth in core money market deposits and increases in time
deposits greater than $100,000.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES The provision for credit losses is recorded to bring
the allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management.
During the second quarter of 2001, the provision was
U.S. Bancorp 11
14
$441.3 million, compared with $201.3 million for the second quarter of 2000.
Included in the provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2001 is a
merger-related provision of $201.3 million associated with the Company's
integration of certain small business products and management's decision to
discontinue an unsecured small business product of USBM. The Company plans to
sell the related portfolio by the fourth quarter of 2001 and, as such, has
transferred product balances of approximately $680 million to loans held for
sale. Excluding the merger-related provision, the provision for credit losses
increased $38.7 million from a year ago. The provision for credit losses in the
first six months of 2001 was $973.7 million, an increase of $589.2 million from
$384.5 million in the same period of 2000. Included in the provision for credit
losses for the first half of 2001 are merger-related provisions totaling $367.9
million consisting of: a $90.0 million charge to align risk management
practices, align chargeoff policies and to expedite the transition out of a
specific segment of the health care industry not meeting the risk profile of the
new company; a $76.6 million provision for losses related to the sale of high
loan-to-value home equity loans and the indirect automobile loan portfolio of
the former USBM; and the $201.3 million provision associated with the
discontinued unsecured small business product of USBM. Excluding the merger and
restructuring-related provision of $367.9 million, the provision for credit
losses for the first half of 2001 increased by $221.3 million over the first
half of 2000 primarily due to a $160.0 million charge incurred in connection
with an accelerated loan workout strategy. The additional provision for credit
losses was taken after an extensive review of the Company's commercial portfolio
in light of recent declining economic conditions and company-specific trends. In
connection with this strategy, the Company has written down the carrying values
of these loans to estimated secondary market prices or liquidation values and
intends to aggressively pursue the disposition or restructuring of these loans
in a relatively short period of time.
Refer to "Corporate Risk Profile" for further information on factors
considered by the Company in assessing the credit quality of the loan portfolio
and establishing the allowance for credit losses.
NONINTEREST INCOME Second quarter 2001 noninterest income was $1,326.6 million,
an increase of $123.3 million from the second quarter of 2000. For the six
months ended June 30, 2001, noninterest income was $2,727.5 million compared
with $2,384.7 million in 2000. During the second quarter and for the first six
months, noninterest income included a $62.2 million of merger and
restructuring-related gains in connection with the sale of 14 branches
representing $771 million in deposits.
Excluding merger and restructuring-related items, second quarter 2001
noninterest income was $1.3 billion, an increase of $61.1 million, or 5.1
percent, from the same quarter of 2000. Year-to-date noninterest income,
excluding merger and restructuring-related items, was $2.7 billion, an increase
of $280.6 million, or 11.8 percent, from $2.4 billion in the first six months of
2000. Noninterest income during the second quarter and first half of 2001
included $31.3 million and

$247.3 million, respectively, of gains related to the sale of investment
securities and principal only residuals. Included in noninterest income for
second quarter of 2000 was a $35.0 million gain associated with the disposal of
an office building. The first six months of 2000 included a total of $45.3
million of building gains. Excluding the impact of securities gains, merger and
restructuring-related items and the building gains, noninterest income in the
second quarter and for the first six months of 2001 was $65.1 million, or 5.6
percent, and $68.3 million, or 2.9 percent, higher, respectively, than the same
periods of 2000. Credit card and payment processing revenue was higher in the
second quarter and first six months of 2001 over the same period of 2000 by
$13.3 million, (5.4 percent) and $44.1 million (9.5 percent) respectively,
reflecting continued growth in corporate, merchant and retail card product fees.
Deposit service charges, commercial product revenue, cash management fees, and
mortgage banking revenue also improved $80.6 million (24.3 percent) in the
second quarter and $128.7 million (20.4 percent) for the first six months of
2001 over the same periods of 2000. The increase in deposit service charges was
primarily due to the alignment and re-design of products and features following
the Firstar/U.S. Bancorp merger and pricing enhancements during 2000. The
increase in cash management fees and commercial product revenue was primarily
driven by growth in core business, the impact of fees generated by the loan
conduit, and product fee enhancements during 2000. The increase in mortgage
banking revenue in the second quarter of 2001 over the second quarter of 2000
was due to increases in origination and sales fees, reflecting increased
origination volume in the declining rate environment, and loan servicing
revenue, partially offset by a decrease in gains on the sale of servicing
rights. Partially offsetting the increases in these items year-over-year was a
reduction in Capital Markets (primarily U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray and U.S.
Bancorp Libra) and trust and investment management fees of $71.3 million (7
percent). Declines in capital markets revenues reflects the adverse market
conditions since late 2000.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE Second quarter 2001 noninterest expense was $1,594.7
million, an increase of $183.6 million, or 13.0 percent, from the second quarter
of 2000. During the second quarter of 2001, noninterest expense included $252.8
million of merger and restructuring-related charges compared with $81.9 million
in the second quarter of 2000. Year-to-date noninterest expense was $3,393.2
million, an increase of $559.5 million, or 19.7 percent, from the first six
U.S. Bancorp 13
16
months of 2000. Year-to-date noninterest expense included $657.0 million of
merger and restructuring-related charges compared with $146.9 million for the
same period of 2000.
Second quarter 2001 noninterest expense, excluding merger and
restructuring-related charges, totaled $1,341.9 million, an increase of $12.7
million, or 1.0 percent, from the second quarter of 2000. On a year-to-date
basis, noninterest expense, excluding merger and restructuring-related charges,
totaled $2,736.2 million, an increase of $49.4 million, or 1.8 percent, from the
first half of 2000. The second quarter increase in noninterest expense, on an
operating basis, was primarily the result of approximately $26 million related
to recent acquisitions, including Scripps Financial, Lyon Financial and 41
branches in Tennessee, partially offset by lower capital market related expenses
and cost savings related to merger integration and restructuring activities. The
increase in noninterest expenses, on an operating basis, for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 was primarily the result of unusual expense items totaling
$44.2 million and the impact of recent acquisitions offset by a decline of
approximately $79.3 million in expenses associated with the slow-down in capital
market-related activities. Net occupancy, goodwill and other intangible expenses
increased primarily due to the purchase of 41 branches in Tennessee completed in
the fourth quarter of 2000. Excluding the $44.2 million of unusual expense items
and merger and restructuring-related charges, noninterest expense would have
decreased during the first six months of 2001 by $6.4 million for the same
period of 2000.
In the second quarter of 2001, merger and restructuring-related charges
consisted of $233.2 million of expenses associated with the merger of Firstar
and USBM, $5.4 million of restructuring expenses for U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray
and $14.2 million for other recent acquisitions. Other acquisitions primarily
represent Mercantile Bancorporation, the Tennessee branch purchase and Scripps
Financial Corporation.
With respect to the Firstar/USBM merger, the $233.2 million of merger and
restructuring-related charges included $98.1 million of severance and
employee-related costs, $7.7 million of building and equipment costs, $45.4
million of other restructuring expense, $53.0 million of conversion and
integration costs, and $29.0 million of miscellaneous other expense. Total
merger and restructuring-related charges associated with the Firstar/U.S.
Bancorp merger are expected to reach $1,400.5 million, exceeding the original
estimate of $800 million by $600.5 million. The majority of the increase is due
to risk management policy conformance, the restructuring of the credit portfolio
and discontinuing products or exiting businesses that do not correspond with the
newly combined Company's strategic direction. These actions were not anticipated
at the time the merger was announced. The actions are expected, however, to
reduce the overall risk profile of the Company, as well as lead to higher cost
savings than originally anticipated. Included in the Firstar/USBM merger and
restructuring-related charges is $82 million associated with the closing of U.S.
Bancorp Libra, a business unit that specializes in underwriting and trading high
yield debt and mezzanine securities. At this time, management does not believe
the business unit fits the longer-term strategic direction of the Company. The
charge includes the cost of contractual obligations, liquidation of trading
inventory and investments, severance and other miscellaneous items. In response
to significant changes in the securities market during the past nine months and
the increasingly competitive environment for the industry, U.S. Bancorp Piper
Jaffray is restructuring it operations. The restructuring is expected to improve
the operating efficiency of the business by removing excess capacity from the
product distribution system and by implementing new, more effective operating
models. Of the estimated $28.9 million of restructuring expense to be incurred,
$28.0 million was expensed in the first six months of 2001.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE The provision for income taxes was $297.5 million (an
effective rate of 34.6 percent) for the second quarter of 2001 and $513.0
million (an effective rate of 34.5 percent) for the first six months of 2001,
compared with $386.6 million (an effective rate of 35.3 percent) and $765.0
million (an effective rate of 35.4 percent) for the same periods of 2000. On an
operating basis (excluding the impact of merger and restructuring items), the
provision for income taxes was $433.1 million (an effective rate of 34.6
percent) in the second quarter of 2001 and $832.2 million (an effective rate of
34.0 percent) for the first six months of 2001, compared with $414.2 million (an
effective rate of 35.2 percent) and $814.6 million (an effective rate of 35.3
percent) for the same periods of 2000.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
LOANS The Company's loan portfolio was $118.5 billion at June 30, 2001, a
decrease of $3.9 billion from $122.4 billion at December 31, 2000. Commercial
loans, including lease financing, totaled $50.5 billion at June 30, 2001, a
decline of $2.3 billion (4.4 percent) from year-end 2000. This decrease in
commercial loans occurred as a result of the Company funding
14 U.S. Bancorp
17
$2.2 billion of short term, high quality, low yielding, commercial loans into
the loan conduit, Stellar Funding Group, Inc. in the first quarter of 2001 and
the second quarter transfer of $680 million in unsecured small business product
to Loans Held for Sale. The Company's portfolio of commercial real estate
mortgages and construction loans was $26.1 billion at June 30, 2001, a decline
of $318 million from December 31, 2000. Residential mortgages, held in the loan
portfolio, continued to decline in the second quarter of 2001, decreasing to
$6.9 billion at June 30, 2001, from $7.8 billion at December 31, 2000. Total
retail loan outstandings, which includes credit card, retail leasing, home
equity and other retail loans, decreased $404 million to $34.9 billion at June
30, 2001, from $35.4 billion at December 31, 2000. In the first quarter of 2001,
the Company sold $1.3 billion of high loan-to-value home equity loans and the
indirect automobile portfolio, both held by the former USBM, causing the decline
in outstanding retail loans balances from year-end.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE At June 30, 2001 loans held for sale, primarily an unsecured
small business product and residential mortgage loans to be sold in the
secondary markets, were $2.4 billion compared with $764 million at December 31,
2000. The increase reflects the surge in residential mortgage production volume
in the first quarter of 2001 as well as the second quarter transfer of
approximately $680 million of unsecured small business product of the former
U.S. Bancorp. As part of realigning its small business products, management has
decided in discontinue this specific product offering. Residential mortgage
production increased to $4.3 billion in the second quarter 2001 compared with
$2.7 billion in the first quarter of 2001 and $1.8 billion in the fourth quarter
of 2000.
SECURITIES At June 30, 2001, investment securities, both available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity, totaled $21.1 billion, compared with $17.6 billion at December
31, 2000, primarily reflecting the net purchases of available-for-sale
securities. During the first six months, the Company has sold $11.7 billion of
securities and purchased $16.4 billion of investment securities. Securities sold
in the second quarter primarily represent tax exempt municipal securities.
DEPOSITS Total deposits were $106.9 billion at June 30, 2001, down $2.6 billion
(2.4 percent) from year-end 2000. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $26.1
billion at June 30, 2001, compared with $26.6 billion at December 31, 2000.
Interest-bearing deposits, including time deposits greater than $100,000,
totaled $80.8 billion at June 30, 2001, compared with $82.9 billion at December
31, 2000. The slight decrease in noninterest-bearing deposit balances is
primarily attributable to seasonality. The change in interest-bearing deposits
was primarily due to the impact of branch divestitures and pricing decisions
related to savings certificates within the Company's markets and lower foreign
deposits.
BORROWINGS Short-term borrowings, which include federal funds purchased,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings,
were $14.0 billion at June 30, 2001, up from $11.8 billion at year-end 2000. The
increase reflects funding requirements associated with investment portfolio
purchases and a reduction in foreign deposits. Long-term debt was $21.4 billion
at June 30, 2001, down from $21.9 billion at December 31, 2000.
CORPORATE RISK PROFILE
CREDIT MANAGEMENT The Company's strategy for credit risk management includes
stringent, centralized credit policies, and uniform underwriting criteria for
all loans including specialized lending categories such as mortgage banking,
real estate construction and consumer credit. The strategy also emphasizes
diversification on both a geographic and customer level, regular credit
examinations, and quarterly management reviews of large loans and loans
experiencing deterioration of credit quality. The Company strives to identify
potential problem loans early, take any necessary charge-offs promptly and
maintain adequate reserve levels. Commercial banking operations rely on a strong
credit culture that combines prudent credit policies and individual lender
accountability. In addition, the commercial lenders generally focus on middle
market companies within their regions. The Company utilizes a credit risk rating
system in order to measure the credit quality of individual commercial loan
transactions. The risk rating system is intended to identify and measure the
credit quality of lending relationships. In the Company's retail banking
operations, standard credit scoring systems are used to assess consumer credit
risks and to price consumer products accordingly. The Company also engages in
nonlending activities that may give rise to credit risk, including interest rate
swap contracts for balance sheet hedging purposes, foreign exchange transactions
and interest rate swap contracts for customers, and the processing of credit
card transactions for merchants. These activities are subject to the same credit
review, analysis and approval processes as those applied to commercial loans.
U.S. Bancorp 15
18
In evaluating its credit risk, the Company considers changes, if any, in
underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix
and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan
performance, the level of allowance coverage, and macroeconomic factors.
Generally, the domestic economy experienced slower growth in 2000. During 2001,
corporate earnings have continued to weaken and credit quality indicators among
certain industry sectors have continued to deteriorate. Large corporate and
middle-market commercial businesses have announced or continue to implement
restructuring activities in an effort to improve operating margins. The stagnate
economic growth is evidenced by the Federal Reserve Board's recent actions
during late 2000 and throughout the first six months of 2001 to stimulate
economic growth through a series of interest rate reductions. In response to
declining economic conditions, company-specific portfolio trends, and the
Firstar/USBM merger, the Company has undertaken an extensive review of its
commercial and consumer loan portfolios. As a result of this review, the Company
has taken several actions during the first six months of 2001 including aligning
the risk management practices and chargeoff policies of the combining companies,
restructuring a specific segment of its healthcare portfolio, selling certain
consumer loan portfolios of the former USBM and discontinuing an unsecured small
business product that does not align with the product offerings of the combined
company. The Company also implemented an accelerated loan workout strategy for
certain commercial credits. The impact of these actions is discussed throughout
the following sections.
ANALYSIS OF NET CHARGE-OFFS Total net loan chargeoffs were $240.3 million and
$717.4 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2001,
respectively, compared with $198.9 million and $382.0 in the same periods of
2000. The increase in net charge-offs for the quarter compared with second
quarter of 2000 is primarily related to continued deterioration due to the
economic slow-down offset somewhat by the impact of the sale of high
loan-to-value home equity and indirect automobile portfolios in the first
quarter. The increase in year-to-date net charge-offs of $335.4 million was due
to actions taken by the Company during the first half of 2001, deterioration in
economic conditions affecting the commercial loan portfolio and a seasonal
increase in credit card net chargeoffs. Included in year-to-date net charge-offs
are $90.0 million of write-offs to conform risk management practices, align
chargeoff policies and expedite the transition out a specific segment of the
health care portfolio not meeting the risk profile of the combined company.
Total net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30 2001, excluding
merger-related items, also included $160.0 million of charge-offs taken in the
first quarter of 2001 related to the Company's accelerated loan workout
strategy.
Commercial and commercial real estate loan net charge-offs were $86.9
million for the second quarter of 2001, or .45 percent of average loans
outstanding, compared with $69.8 million, or .37 percent, of average loans
outstanding, in the second quarter of 2000. Commercial and commercial real
estate loan net charge-offs for the first half of 2001 were $406.1 million, or
1.04 percent of average loans outstanding, compared with $122.1 million, or .33
percent, of average loans outstanding for the first half of 2000. Commercial and
commercial real estate loan net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2001
included $255.0 million in merger and restructuring-related charge-offs and
charge-offs associated with the Company's accelerated loan workout strategy.
Excluding net charge-offs associated with the merger and accelerated workout
strategy, commercial and commercial real estate loan year-to-date net
charge-offs were .39 percent of average loans outstanding. The Company expects
total net charge-offs in the third and fourth quarters of 2001 to increase
modestly from net charge-offs reported in the second quarter of 2001.
Retail loan net charge-offs of $150.1 million in the second quarter of 2001
were higher than the same period of 2000 by $23.3 million, or 18.4 percent. For
the six months ended June 30 2001, retail loan net charge-offs of $304.8 million
were higher by $52 million, or 20.6 percent, than the same period of 2000.
Included in the first quarter of 2001 net retail charge-offs were $21.3 million
of charge-offs associated with portfolios sold at the end of the quarter. Retail
loan net charge-offs as a percent of average loans outstanding were 1.75 percent
in the second quarter and 1.77 in the first half of 2001, compared with 1.59
percent and 1.61 percent in the second quarter and first half of 2000,
respectively. The increase is primarily due to the economic slow-down and higher
bankruptcies offset somewhat by the impact of the portfolios sold in the first
quarter of 2001.

ANALYSIS OF NONPERFORMING ASSETS Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2001 totaled
$1,215.1 million, compared with $867.0 million at December 31, 2000. The $348.1
million increase in nonperforming assets from December 31, 2000 to June 30, 2001
was primarily due to merger and restructuring-related and risk management
actions taken in the first quarter, as credits were reduced to secondary market
valuations and placed on nonperforming status, and continuing stress in sectors
of the economy, particularly in manufacturing, automobile and transportation.
The increase is partially offset by the disposition of nonperforming assets
identified as part of the Company's accelerated workout program in the first
quarter of 2001. The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other real
estate was 1.02 percent at June 30, 2001, compared with .71 percent at December
31, 2000. Given continued economic stress in various industry sectors, the
Company may experience higher levels of nonperforming assets during the next
several quarters.
Accruing loans 90 days or more past due at June 30, 2001, totaled $395.9
million, compared with $385.2 million at December 31, 2000. These loans are not
included in nonperforming assets because they are expected to be returned to
current status. Retail loans 30 to 89 days past due were 1.76 percent of the
retail loan portfolio at June 30, 2001 compared with 2.02 percent at December
31, 2000. The percentage of retail loans 90 days or more past due totaled .82
percent of total retail loans at June 30, 2001, relatively flat compared with
.79 percent at December 31, 2000.
ANALYSIS AND DETERMINATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for
credit losses provides coverage for probable losses inherent in the Company's
loan portfolio. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to determine
that it is adequate to cover inherent losses. The evaluation of each element and
the overall allowance is based on a continuing assessment of problem loans and
related off-balance sheet items, recent loss experience, and other factors,
including regulatory guidance and economic conditions.
The allowance for credit losses was $1,715.7 million at June 30, 2001, lower
than the allowance for credit losses of $1,786.9 million at December 31, 2000.
Several factors impacted the allowance for credit losses during the first half
of 2001 including merger and

restructuring-related credit actions, management's extensive review of the
commercial loan portfolio in light of recent economic conditions, risk rating
changes by regulators of shared national credits agented by other banks,
company-specific portfolio trends, and the transfer of the unsecured small
business line of credit portfolio to Loans Held for Sale. The Company also
considered the extent of chargeoffs taken in connection with management's
decision to accelerate its commercial loan workout strategy which reduced
carrying values of these loans to estimated secondary

market prices or liquidation values in order to aggressively pursue their
disposition or restructuring. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to
nonperforming loans was 156 percent at June 30, 2001, down from the ratio of 233
percent at December 31, 2000. The decline in the ratio of allowance for credit
losses to nonperforming loans considers the impact of chargeoffs taken during
the first half of 2001 with credits being reduced to secondary market values and
placed on nonperforming status. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to
period-end loans was relatively stable at 1.45 percent of loans at June 30,
2001, compared with the ratio of 1.46 percent at December 31, 2000.
During the second quarter, management has changed its methodology for
allocating specific allowances to elements of the loan portfolio. The change was
made to conform risk management practices of the former Firstar and USBM. While
both companies utilized credit risk rating processes, migration analysis and
historical loss experience to determine each element of its allowance for credit
losses, Firstar specifically determined its commercial allowance based on its
net loss experience ("Net") while USBM utilized its gross loss experience
("Gross") . Although diversity exists in practice, the Company has adopted a net
loss experience methodology in evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for
credit losses based, in part, on regulatory guidelines promulgated with respect
to methodologies for evaluating the allowance for credit losses. The following
table provides an analysis of the impact of adopting this methodology.

Management has determined that the allowance for credit losses is adequate.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT The Company manages its exposure to adverse
changes in interest rates through asset and liability management activities
within guidelines established by its Asset/Liability Policy Committee ("ALPC").
The Company limits the exposure of net interest income associated with interest
rate movements through asset/liability management strategies. The ALPC uses net
interest income simulation modeling and market value of equity as the primary
methods for measuring and managing consolidated interest rate risk.
NET INTEREST INCOME SIMULATION MODELING: The Company uses a net interest income
simulation model to estimate the impact on net interest income and net interest
margin due to changes in interest rates. The model, which is updated monthly,
incorporates substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities and
off-balance sheet instruments, together with forecasted changes in the balance
sheet and assumptions that reflect the current interest rate environment. ALPC
also calculates the sensitivity of the simulation results to changes in key
assumptions, such as the Prime/LIBOR spread or core deposit repricing. The
results from the simulation are reviewed by ALPC monthly and are used to guide
ALPC's hedging strategies. ALPC guidelines, approved by the Company's Board of
Directors, limit the estimated change in net interest income to 7.5 percent of
forecasted net interest income given a 3 percent change in interest rates
occurring over a 12 month time period. Forecasted net interest income for the
next 12 months would decrease approximately .33 percent from an upward parallel
shift in rates and would increase approximately .15 percent from a downward
shift of similar magnitude.
MARKET VALUE OF EQUITY: The Company also uses market value of equity as an
interest rate risk management tool. The market value of equity measures the
changes in the value of the Company's assets and liabilities to changes in
interest rates. This model estimates the effect of 1 percent, 2 percent and 3
percent rate shocks on the present value of substantially all future cash flows
of the Company's outstanding assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet
instruments. ALPC also calculates the sensitivity of the simulation results to
changes in key assumptions, such as core deposit repricing and core deposit
life. The amount of market value risk is subject to a limit, approved by the
Company's Board of Directors, of 15 percent change for an immediate 200 basis

rate shock. The Company's market value risk position continues to be
substantially lower than its limits.
USE OF DERIVATIVES TO MANAGE INTEREST RATE RISK: While each of the interest rate
risk measurements has limitations, taken together they represent a comprehensive
view of the magnitude of the Company's interest rate risk over various time
intervals. The Company manages its risk by entering into derivative contracts,
primarily receive fixed interest rate swaps and to a lesser degree basis swaps
and interest rate caps and floors.
Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and variable
rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount on which
the interest payments are calculated. As of June 30, 2001, the Company received
and made payments on $14.4 billion notional amount of interest rate swap
agreements. These swaps had a weighted average interest rate received of 5.83
percent and a weighted average interest rate paid of 4.09 percent. The remaining
maturity of these agreements ranges from 1 month to 29.9 years with an average
remaining maturity of 5.0 years.
The Company also purchases interest rate caps, floors, and basis swaps to
minimize the impact of fluctuating interest rates on earnings. To reduce it's
exposure to rising interest rates, the Company may use interest rate caps.
Counterparties to these interest rate cap agreements pay the Company based on
the notional amount and the difference between current rates and strike rates.
There were no caps outstanding at June 30, 2001. To reduce its exposure to
declining interest rates, the Company may use interest rate floors. Like caps,
counterparties to interest rate floor agreements pay the Company based on the
notional amount and the difference between current rates and strike rates. There
were no floors outstanding at June 30, 2000. Basis swaps help the Company manage
the monthly interest income risk within each year. At June 30, 2001, the
notional amount of the Company's basis swaps totaled $1.0 billion. The impact of
basis swaps, and interest rate caps and floors was not significant to the
results of operations for the second quarters of 2001 and 2000.
All derivative transactions that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded
at fair value as other assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The
derivatives are classified as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognized
fixed rate asset or liability ("fair value" hedge) or as a hedge of the
variability of cash flows related to a recognized asset or liability or a
forecasted transaction ("cash flow" hedge).
Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges and
the offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items are recorded in
income. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges
are recorded in other comprehensive income until income from the cash flows of
the hedged items are recorded. The Company performs an assessment, both at the
inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, to determine whether these
derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged items.
Hedge ineffectiveness for both cash flow and fair value hedges is immediately
recorded in noninterest income.
For a fair value hedge, if the swap or contract is terminated, or ceases to
be highly effective, the gain or loss recorded as an adjustment to the carrying
amount of the hedged item is amortized to earnings over the remaining life of
the hedged asset or liability. If the hedged item is disposed of, the swap or
contract agreement is marked to market with any resulting gain or loss included
in the gain or loss from the disposition.
For a cash flow hedge, if the swap or contract is terminated, or ceases to
be highly effective, the gain or loss recorded in other comprehensive income is
amortized into income during the same period(s) that the forecasted hedged
transaction impacts earnings. If the hedged item is disposed of, and the

Intermediated swaps and all other derivative contracts are marked to market
and resulting gains or losses are recorded in trading account profits and
commissions. The Company's derivative trading activities are not material to the
consolidated financial statements. The Company's interest rate swaps designated
as fair value hedges of underlying fixed rate debt, trust preferred securities,
and deposit obligations have a fair value of $112.3 million at June 30, 2001,
which includes the addition of $700 million notional amount of interest rate
swaps that are designated as a hedge of trust preferred securities issued in May
2001.
In addition, the Company enters into forward commitments to sell groups of
residential mortgage loans that it originates or purchases as part of its
mortgage banking activities. The fair value of the forward commitments at June
30, 2001 was $6.9 million.
The Company has interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges linked to
the cash flows of variable rate loans and variable rate debt. The swaps have a
fair value of $9.6 million at June 30, 2001, which includes $4.0 billion
notional amount of interest rate swaps added as a hedge of variable rate loans
during the second quarter of 2001. No significant changes have occurred in the
Company's derivatives not treated as hedges for accounting purposes in the
second quarter of 2001.
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT Market risk is subject to regular monitoring by
management. The Company uses a value-at-risk ("VaR") model to measure and manage
market risk in its broker/dealer activities. The VaR model uses an estimate of
volatility appropriate to each instrument and a ninety-ninth percentile adverse
move in the underlying markets. Market risk limits are established subject to
approval by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's VaR limit was $40
million at June 30, 2001. The market valuation risk inherent in its
broker/dealer activities, including equities, fixed income, high yield
securities and foreign exchange, as estimated by the VaR analysis, was $16.0
million at June 30, 2001.
In addition to the VaR analysis, the Company imposes stop loss limits and
position limits. A stress-test model is used to provide management with
perspective on market events that a VaR model does not capture. In each case,
the historical worst performance of each asset class is observed and applied to
current trading positions.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Total shareholders' equity was $15.5 billion at June 30,
2001, compared with $15.2 billion reported at December 31, 2000. The increase
was the result of corporate earnings, including merger and restructuring-related
items, offset by dividend payments.
Tangible common equity to assets was 6.6 percent at June 30, 2001, compared
with 6.3 percent at December 31, 2000. The Tier 1 capital ratio was 8.0 percent
at June 30, 2001, compared with 7.2 percent at December 31, 2000. The increase
primarily reflects the issuance of $700 million of Company obligated mandatorily
redeemable preferred securities ("trust preferred securities") during the second
quarter of 2001. The total risk-based capital ratio was 11.2 percent at June 30,
2001, compared with 10.6 percent at December 31, 2000. The improvement in the
total risk-based capital ratio during 2001 primarily reflects the changes in the
mix of investment securities in addition to the issuance of trust preferred
securities. The leverage ratio was 8.0 percent at June 30, 2001, compared with
7.4 percent at December 31, 2000. All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess
of stated "well capitalized" requirements.
The stock repurchase programs of Firstar and USBM were rescinded on October

On July 17, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase

the July 24, 2001 acquisition of Nova Corporation. The shares will be
repurchased in the open market or through negotiated transactions on a "spot" or

ACCOUNTING CHANGES
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. ("SFAS") 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, establishes accounting and
reporting standards for all derivative instruments and criteria for designation
and effectiveness of hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet
and measure those instruments at fair value. The changes in the fair value of
the derivatives are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met. If the derivative qualifies as a hedge, the
accounting treatment varies based on the type of risk being hedged. On January
1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133. Transition adjustments related to
adoption resulted in an after-tax loss of approximately $4.1 million recognized
in net income and an after-tax increase of $5.2 million to other comprehensive
income. The transition adjustments related to adoption were not material to the
Company's financial statements; and, although recorded, were not separately
reported in the consolidated statement of income.
ACCOUNTING FOR BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS In
June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" (Statement 141) and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (Statement 142). Statement 141 mandates the purchase method
of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001 and establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets
separately from goodwill. Statement 142 addresses the accounting for goodwill
and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. The Company is required
to adopt Statement 142 on January 1, 2002. The most significant changes made by
Statement 142 are that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no
longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. The
amortization provisions of Statement No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible
assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and assets
acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the amortization provisions of Statement 142 are
effective upon adoption of Statement 142. The Company has not yet determined the
impact that these standards could have on its financial position or results of
operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the
opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of results have been made,
and the Company believes such presentation is adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Current Report on
Form 8-K dated April 17, 2001, which includes the Company's restated financial
statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2000. The financial
statements give effect to the merger of U.S. Bancorp and Firstar Corporation as
discussed in Note 3. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to the current presentation.
Accounting policies for the lines of business are generally the same as
those used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements with respect
to activities specifically attributable to each business line. However, the
preparation of business line results requires management to establish
methodologies to allocate funding costs and benefits, expenses and other
financial elements to each line of business. Table 3 "Line of Business Financial
Performance" on pages 8 through 9 provides details of segment results. This
information is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
NOTE 2
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for all derivative instruments
and criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging activities. SFAS 133
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
The changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If the derivative
qualifies as a hedge, the accounting treatment varies based on the type of risk
being hedged. The Company adopted SFAS 133 as of January 1, 2001. Transition
adjustments related to adoption resulted in an after-tax loss of approximately
$4.1 million to net income and an after-tax increase of $5.2 million to other
comprehensive income. The transition adjustments related to adoption were not
material to the Company's financial statements; and although recorded, were not
separately reported in the consolidated statement of income.
In June, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" (Statement 141) and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (Statement 142). Statement 141 mandates the purchase method
of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001 and establishes specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets
separately from goodwill. Statement 142 addresses the accounting for goodwill
and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. The Company is required
to adopt Statement 142 on January 1, 2002. The most significant changes made by
Statement 142 are that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no
longer be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. The
amortization provisions of Statement No. 142 apply to goodwill and intangible
assets acquired after June 30, 2001. With respect to goodwill and intangible
assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001, the amortization provisions of Statement
142 are effective upon adoption of Statement 142. The Company has not yet
determined the impact that these standards could have on its financial position
or results of operations.
NOTE 3
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On February 27, 2001, Firstar and USBM merged in a pooling-of-interests
transaction and accordingly all financial information has been restated to
include the historical information of both companies. Each share of Firstar
stock was converted into and exchanged for one share of the Company's common
stock while each share of USBM stock
28 U.S. Bancorp
31
was converted into and exchanged for 1.265 shares of the Company's common stock.
The new Company retained the U.S. Bancorp name.
On September 20, 1999, Firstar and Mercantile Bancorporation, Inc., merged
in a pooling-of-interests transaction and accordingly all financial information
has been restated to include the historical information of both companies. Each
share of Mercantile Bancorporation stock was converted into and exchanged for
2.091 shares of Firstar common stock.
On May 7, 2001, the Company announced an agreement to acquire NOVA
Corporation in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $2.1
billion. The transaction was completed on July 24, 2001 and will be accounted
for as a purchase.
On June 5, 2001, the Company announced an agreement to purchase 20 branches
in Southern California from Pacific Century Bank in a cash transaction. The
acquisition includes approximately $640 million in deposits, $570 million in
loans and 300 employees. The transaction is expected to close during the third
quarter of 2001.
In addition to these mergers, the Company has completed several strategic
acquisitions to enhance its presence in certain growth markets and businesses.
The following table summarizes acquisitions by the Company and its acquirees
completed since January 1, 1999, treating Firstar as the original acquiring

MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING-RELATED CHARGES
The Company recorded merger and restructuring-related charges of $962.7 million
in the first six months of 2001. These charges were primarily related to the
merger of Firstar and USBM. Other merger and restructuring-related charges in
2001 were related to both companies various prior acquisitions and included
primarily system conversion costs and integration costs associated with
consolidating redundant operations. The components of the charges are shown
below:

==========================================================================================================
</Table>
The Company determines merger-related charges and related accruals based on
its integration strategy and formulated plans. These plans are established as of
the acquisition date and regularly evaluated during the integration process.
Severance charges include the cost of severance, other benefits and
outplacement costs associated with the termination of employees primarily in
branch offices and centralized corporate support and data processing functions.
The severance amounts are determined based on the Company's existing severance
pay programs and are paid out over a benefit period of up to two years from the
time of termination. It is anticipated that approximately 2,770 employees will
be included in the Firstar and USBM merger and restructuring-related severance
charges. The adequacy of the accrued severance liability is reviewed
periodically taking into consideration actual payments and remaining projected
payment liabilities. Adjustments are made to increase or decrease these accruals
as needed. Reversals of expenses can reflect a lower utilization of benefits by
affected staff, changes in initial assumptions as a result of subsequent mergers
and alterations of business plans.
Systems conversion costs are recorded as incurred and are associated with
the preparation and mailing of numerous customer communications for the
acquisitions and conversion of customer accounts, printing and distribution of
training materials and policy and procedure manuals, outside consulting fees,
and other expenses related to the system conversions and the integration of
acquired branches and operations.
Asset writedowns and lease terminations represent lease termination costs
and impairment of assets for redundant office space, branches that will be
vacated and equipment disposed of as part of the integration plan.
In connection with the merger of Firstar and USBM, the Company made
charitable contributions of $76.0 million to reaffirm the Company's commitment
to its market or as part of specific conditions necessary to achieve regulatory
approval. These contributions were funded up-front and represent costs that
would not have been incurred had the merger not occurred. Charitable
contributions are charged to merger and restructuring expenses or considered in
determining the acquisition cost at the applicable closing date.
Balance sheet restructuring charges of $428.3 million are comprised of a
$201.3 million provision associated with the Company's integration of certain
small business products and management's decision to discontinue an unsecured
small business product of USBM; $90.0 million of charge-offs to align risk
management practices, align charge-off policies and to expedite the Company's
transition out of a segment of the health care industry; $76.6 million of losses
related to retail loan portfolio sales of USBM; $45.4 million of charges
associated with the Company's decision to discontinue business operations of
U.S. Bancorp, Libra; and, $15.0 million of charges related to the planned
disposition of certain equity investments that no longer align with the
long-term strategy of the Company. The alignment of risk management practice
included a write-down of several large commercial loans, loans originally held
separately by both Firstar and USBM, primarily taken to allow the Company to
exit or reduce these credits to conform with the credit exposure policy of the
combined entity.
Other merger-related expenses of $61.6 million primarily include investment
banking fees, legal fees, and stock registration fees associated with the merger
of Firstar and USBM.
