U.S. Bancorp 5 11 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES U.S. Bancorp (the "Company"), formerly known as Firstar Corporation, is the organization created by the acquisition by Firstar Corporation ("Firstar") of the former U.S. Bancorp ("USBM"). The new Company retained the U.S. Bancorp name. The Company is a multi-state financial services holding company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Company provides a full range of financial services including lending and depository services through banking offices principally in 24 states. The Company also engages in credit card, merchant, and ATM processing, mortgage banking, insurance, trust and investment management, brokerage, leasing and investment banking activities principally in domestic markets. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The consolidation eliminates all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Certain items in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. USES OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual experience could differ from those estimates. BUSINESS SEGMENTS Within the Company, financial performance is measured by major lines of business based on the products and services provided to customers through its distribution channels. The Company has seven reportable operating segments: 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 ('ATM'). It encompasses community banking, metropolitan banking, small business banking, consumer lending, mortgage banking, ATM banking, workplace banking, student banking, 24-hour phone banking, and investment sales. Payment Systems includes consumer and business credit cards, corporate and purchasing card services, consumer lines of credit, ATM processing and merchant processing. Wholesale Banking offers lending, depository, treasury management and other financial services to middle market, large corporate and public sector clients. Private Client, Trust and Asset Management provides mutual fund processing services and trust, private banking and financial advisory services through four primary businesses including: the Private Client Group, Corporate Trust, Institutional Trust and Custody and its 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. 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. Treasury manages the Company's investment and residential mortgage portfolios, funding, capital management and asset securitization activities and the interest rate risk position. It also includes the net effect of transfer pricing related to loan and deposit balances. Corporate Support primarily represents business activities managed on a corporate basis including income and expenses of enterprise-wide operations and administrative support functions. SEGMENT RESULTS Accounting policies for the lines of business are 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. For detail of theses methodologies see "Basis of Presentation" on page 6. Table 1 "Line of Business 6 U.S. Bancorp 12 Financial Performance" on page 46 provides details of segment results. This information is incorporated by reference into these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. SECURITIES TRADING ACCOUNT SECURITIES Debt and equity securities held for resale are classified as trading account securities and reported at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains or losses are recognized currently in noninterest income. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES These securities are not trading account securities but may be sold before maturity in response to changes in the Company's interest rate risk profile or demand for collateralized deposits by public entities. They are carried at fair value with unrealized net gains or losses reported within comprehensive income in shareholders' equity. When sold, the amortized cost of the specific securities is used to compute the gain or loss. HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. LOANS Loans are reported net of unearned income. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balances as earned. Loan and commitment fees are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan and/or commitment period as yield adjustments. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on evaluations of the loan portfolio and related off-balance sheet commitments, recent loss experience, and other pertinent factors, including economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates, including amounts of future cash collections expected on nonaccrual loans that may be susceptible to significant change. The allowance for credit losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loan's observable market price, the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate. The Company determines the amount of the allowance required for certain sectors based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio and other financial instruments with credit exposure. The allowance recorded for commercial loans is based on quarterly reviews of individual loans outstanding and binding commitments to lend and an analysis of the migration of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The allowance recorded for homogeneous consumer loans is based on an analysis of product mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, fraud loss and bankruptcy experiences, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends, for each homogenous category or group of loans. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. NONACCRUAL LOANS Generally commercial loans (including impaired loans) are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of interest or principal has become 90 days past due or is otherwise considered doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest is reversed. Future interest payments are generally applied against principal. Revolving consumer lines and credit cards are charged-off by 180 days and closed-end consumer loans other than residential mortgages are charged-off at 120 days past due and are, therefore, not placed on non-accrual status. LEASES The Company engages in both direct and leveraged lease financing. The net investment in direct financing leases is the sum of all minimum lease payments and estimated residual values less unearned income. Unearned income is added to interest income over the terms of the leases to produce a level yield. The investment in leveraged leases is the sum of all lease payments (less nonrecourse debt payments) plus estimated residual values, less unearned income. Income from leveraged leases is recognized over the term of the leases based on the unrecovered equity investment. LOANS HELD FOR SALE These loans are carried at the lower of cost or market value as determined on an aggregate basis by type of loan. OTHER REAL ESTATE Other real estate ("ORE"), which is included in other assets, is property acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings. ORE is initially recorded at fair value and carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. The property is evaluated regularly and any decreases in the carrying amount are included in noninterest expense. U.S. Bancorp 7 13 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS INTEREST RATE SWAPS AND CONTRACTS The Company uses interest rate swaps and contracts (forwards, options, caps and floors) to manage its interest rate risk and as a financial intermediary. The Company does not enter into these contracts for speculative purposes. The Company utilizes simulation modeling and analysis of repricing mismatches to identify exposure to changes in interest rates and assess the effectiveness of interest rate swaps and contracts in reducing that risk. Interest rate swaps and contracts are designated as hedges of assets or liabilities and the Company evaluates the hedge effectiveness of the derivative instruments relative to the underlying hedged item on a regular basis. Income or expense on swaps and contracts designated as hedges of assets or liabilities is recorded as an adjustment to interest income or expense. If the swap or contract is terminated, the gain or loss is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the remaining life of the swap or the underlying asset or liability. If the hedged instrument is disposed of, the swap or contract agreement is marked to market with any resulting gain or loss included with the gain or loss from the disposition. The initial bid/offer spread on intermediated swaps is deferred and recognized in trading account profits and commissions over the life of the agreement. Intermediated swaps and all other interest rate 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 cash flows from these activities are included in operating activities. OTHER SIGNIFICANT POLICIES PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortized primarily on a straight-line method. Capital leases, less accumulated amortization, are included in premises and equipment. The lease obligations are included in long-term debt. Capitalized leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and the amortization is included in depreciation expense. CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE Certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use are capitalized and amortized on a straight- line basis over the estimated life of the software. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS Mortgage servicing rights associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in goodwill and other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The value of these capitalized servicing rights is amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenue and recorded in noninterest expenses as amortization of intangible assets. The carrying value of these rights is periodically reviewed for impairment based on fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, the servicing rights are stratified based on the underlying loan type and note rate and compared to a valuation prepared based on a discounted cash flow methodology, current prepayment speeds and discount rate. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for each impaired stratum and charged against amortization of intangible assets. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill, the price paid over the net fair value of acquired businesses, is included in other assets and is amortized over periods ranging up to 25 years. Other intangible assets, including core deposit intangibles, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven to fifteen years, using straight-line and accelerated methods. The recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets is evaluated if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. Such evaluation is based on various analyses, including undiscounted cash flow projections. INCOME TAXES Deferred taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the financial reporting amounts at each year-end. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market investments defined as interest bearing amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees and directors with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and accordingly recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants. PER SHARE CALCULATIONS Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (less preferred stock dividends) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting income and outstanding shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method. All per share amounts have been restated for stock splits. 8 U.S. Bancorp 14 NOTE 2 ACCOUNTING CHANGES ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and SFAS 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities -- an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 133," establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for 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 derivative 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. ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," established accounting and reporting standards for sales and servicing of financial assets, securitization transactions and the extinguishment of liabilities. The statement replaced SFAS 125 and provided clarification of issues related to qualified special purpose entities and additional disclosures about securitizations and residual interests retained. SFAS 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. Disclosures required for financial statements were effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. 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.

These charges were primarily related to the Company's various acquisitions (see Note 3) and included primarily severance and systems conversion costs. Merger and restructuring charges in 1998 includes $45.1 million of restructuring costs associated with Mercantile Bancorporation's centralization, branch closing and consolidation of operations effort prior to its acquisition by the Company. The components of the charges are shown below: (Dollars in Millions) Mercantile Firstar USBC* Other Total ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 Severance................................................... $ 43.0 $ 16.3 $ -- $ .1 $ 59.4 Systems conversions......................................... 115.2 19.0 -- 59.3 193.5 Asset writedowns and lease terminations..................... 42.7 4.6 -- -- 47.3 Charitable contributions.................................... -- -- -- 2.5 2.5 Other merger-related charges................................ 26.1 12.7 -- 7.2 46.0 --------------------------------------------------- Total 2000.................................................. $227.0 $ 52.6 $ -- $ 69.1 $348.7 1999 Severance................................................... $131.0 $ 10.6 $ 8.0 $ -- $149.6 Systems conversions......................................... 19.5 78.9 4.4 29.7 132.5 Asset writedowns and lease terminations..................... .2 4.4 1.6 -- 6.2 Charitable contributions.................................... 35.0 -- -- -- 35.0 Loss on sale of securities.................................. 177.8 -- -- -- 177.8 Other merger-related charges................................ 46.0 2.0 18.6 (34.9) 31.7 --------------------------------------------------- Total 1999.................................................. $409.5 $ 95.9 $ 32.6 $ (5.2) $532.8 1998 Severance................................................... $ -- $ 80.0 $ -- $ 63.1 $143.1 Systems conversions......................................... -- 26.9 229.4 38.5 294.8 Asset writedowns and lease terminations..................... -- 44.4 -- 20.0 64.4 Benefit curtailment gains................................... -- -- (25.6) -- (25.6) Charitable contributions.................................... -- 20.0 -- 3.0 23.0 Other merger-related charges................................ -- 39.7 54.4 94.1 --------------------------------------------------- Total 1998.................................................. $ -- $211.0 $203.8 $179.0 $593.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Represents the former U.S. Bancorp of Portland acquired in 1997 by USBM. 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. The total number of employees included in severance amounts were approximately 3,635 for USBC, 2,000 for Firstar, 2,400 for Mercantile and 520 for other acquisitions. 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 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 certain mergers, the Company has made charitable contributions at the time of merger to reaffirm the Company's commitment to a market or as part of specific conditions necessary to achieve regulatory approval. These contributions are generally funded up-front and represent costs that would not have been incurred U.S. Bancorp 11 17 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. Other merger-related expenses are recorded as incurred and include investment banking fees, legal fees and stock registration fees.

These are currently estimated to include $188 million in employee related costs, $327 million for conversions of systems and consolidation of operations, $104 million in 12 U.S. Bancorp 18 occupancy and equipment charges (elimination of duplicate facilities and write-off of equipment), $178 million of charges related to credit and other balance sheet restructuring activities and $173 million in other merger related costs (including investment banking fees, legal fees and other transaction costs of $59 million and $76 million of charitable contribution to foundations). In addition to the estimated expenses of the Firstar and USBM merger, the Company expects to incur an additional $101 million, pretax, of merger and restructuring related expenses primarily in 2001 as a result of prior years' acquisitions.

During 2000, there were no loans that were restructured at market interest rates and returned to a fully performing status. NOTE 8 TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS RECEIVABLE SALES When the Company sells receivables or selected financial assets, it may retain interest-only strips, servicing rights and/or other retained interests in the receivables. The gain or loss on sale of the receivables depends in part on the previous carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer. Market prices are used to determine retained interest fair values when readily available. However, quotes are generally not available for retained interests, so the Company estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected cash flows using management's best estimates of certain key assumptions including credit losses, prepayment speeds, forward yield curves and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Retained interests recorded to date have been valued using a discounted cash flow methodology. At least quarterly, the Company revalues the retained interests by obtaining market prices if available or by calculating the present value of remaining cash flows. When using a present value methodology, key assumptions from the most recent valuation, including asset specific characteristics, are reviewed for appropriateness and updated as necessary. The Company has established a securitization trust which holds short-term commercial loans that were originated by the Company. These loans totaled $2.0 billion at December 31, 2000 and included net sales of originated loans to the trust of approximately $3.7 billion during 2000. The Company received $18 million in servicing fee revenue from the trust during 2000. Under a credit enhancement agreement with the trust, the Company may repurchase assets or provide alternative funding to the trust if the credit quality of the assets held falls below certain levels. No funding or repurchase of assets occurred during 2000. The Company also established a securitization trust which held credit card receivables originated by the Company. This trust was terminated in December 2000 and $509 million of credit card receivables were transferred from the trust to the Company in exchange for the seller's certificates held by the Company. During the period in 2000 that the trust was in existence, $665 million of credit card collections were reinvested in the trust. The Company received $18 million in servicing fee revenue from the trust in 2000 and recorded a $2.2 million gain upon the termination of the trust. For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company sold $255.7 million of the U.S. government guaranteed portions of loans originated under Small Business Administration (SBA) programs, recognizing a pre-tax gain on sale of $10.6 million. The SBA covers losses occurring on these guaranteed portions. Although the Company has no credit recourse relating to these sales, it does continue to own a portion of the non-guaranteed elements of the loans. The Company continues to service the loans and is required under the SBA programs to retain specified yield amounts. A portion of the yield is recognized as servicing fee income as it occurs, and the remainder is capitalized as an excess servicing asset and is included in the gain on sale calculation. U.S. Bancorp 15 21 SERVICING ASSET POSITION SBA (Dollars in Millions) Loans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Servicing assets at December 31, 1999................... $ 4.3 Servicing assets recognized during the period........... 4.0 Amortization............................................ (1.4) ----- Servicing assets at December 31, 2000................... $ 6.9 ----------------------------------------------------------------- No valuation allowances were required during 2000. Servicing assets are reported in aggregate but measured on a transaction specific basis. Market values were determined using discounted cash flows, utilizing the assumptions noted in the table below. Key economic assumptions used in valuing servicing assets at the date of sale resulting from sales completed during 2000 were as follows: 2000 (Dollars in Millions) SBA Loans(1) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fair value of assets recognized................. $7.9 Prepayment speed(2)............................. 21 CPR Weighted average life (years)................... 3.9 Expected credit losses.......................... Not Applicable Discount rate................................... 12% Variable returns to transferees................. Not Applicable ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. All loans were adjustable based on the Wall Street Journal Prime rate. 2. The Company used a prepayment vector based on loan seasoning for valuation. The given speed was the effective prepayment speed that yields the same weighted average life calculated using the prepayment vector. RESIDUAL ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS AND ADVERSE CHANGES The Company has retained interests on the following asset sales: $1.8 billion sale of indirect automobile loans on September 24, 1999, $420 million sale of corporate and purchasing card receivables on February 27, 1997, and sales of SBA loans since 1988. At December 31, 2000, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value of residual cash flows to immediate 10 percent and 20 percent adverse changes in those assumptions were as follows: Indirect Corporate Automobile SBA Card At December 31, 2000 (Dollars in Millions) Loans Loans(1) Receivables(2) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carrying amount/fair value of retained interests............ $46.2 $4.2 $8.4 Weighted-average life (in years)............................ 1.0 3.9 .1 PREPAYMENT SPEED ASSUMPTION (ANNUAL RATE)(3,4).............. 1.5 ABS 21 CPR -- Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change............... $(.3) $(.3) -- Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change............... $(.7) $(.6) -- EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES (CUMULATIVE)......................... 1.6% -- -- Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change............... $(1.2) -- -- Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change............... $(2.4) -- -- RESIDUAL CASH FLOWS DISCOUNT RATE (ANNUAL).................. 12.0% 12.0% -- Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change............... $(.6) $(.2) -- Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change............... $(1.2) $(.3) -- INTEREST RATES ON VARIABLE AND ADJUSTABLE CONTRACTS......... NA NA -- Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change............... NA NA -- Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change............... NA NA -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Credit losses are covered by the appropriate SBA loan program and are not included in retained interests. Principal reductions caused by defaults are included in the prepayment assumption. 2. Retained interest is effectively a single period receivable that is paid and renewed each month during the revolving period. Therefore, no assumptions are used in its estimate. Losses are recognized in the period they occur. 3. The Company uses prepayment vectors based on loan seasoning for valuation. The given speed is the effective prepayment speed that yields the same weighted average life calculated using the prepayment vector. 4. ABS is the absolute prepayment rate and is the auto industry's standard measure of prepayment speed. CPR is the constant prepayment rate. These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10 percent variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumptions to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption; however, changes in one factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities. 16 U.S. Bancorp 22 OTHER INFORMATION The table below summarizes certain cash flows received from and paid to special purpose entities for the loan sales described above: Year Ended December 31 (Dollars in Millions) 2000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proceeds from new sales..................................... $ 3,966.3 Proceeds from corporate and credit card securitization(1)... 8,042.7 Reinvestment in corporate and credit card securitization receivables(2).............................................

The Trust Preferred Securities accrue and pay distributions periodically at specified rates as provided in the indentures. The Trusts used the net proceeds from the offerings to purchase a like amount of Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the "Debentures") of the Company. The Debentures are the sole assets of the Trusts and are eliminated, along with the related income statement effects, in the consolidated financial statements. The Company's obligations under the Debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the Trusts. The guarantee covers the distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities, but only to the extent of funds held by the Trusts. The Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indentures. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole, (but not in part), on or after specific dates, at a redemption price specified in the indentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Trust Preferred Securities are redeemable in whole or in part in 2003, 2006 and 2007 in the amounts of $350 million, $750 million and $300 million, respectively. The Trust Preferred Securities qualify as Tier I capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes. The Company used the proceeds from the sales of the Debentures for general corporate purposes.

U.S. Bancorp 21 27 NOTE 15 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had authority to issue 2.0 billion shares of common stock and 10 million shares of preferred stock. The Company had 1,902.1 million and 1,928.5 million shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. At December 31, 2000 the Company had 207.2 million shares of common stock reserved for future issuances. These shares are primarily reserved for stock option plans, dividend reinvestment plans and deferred compensation plans. In connection with the merger of Firstar and USBM, the number of authorized common shares for U.S. Bancorp was increased from 2 billion to 4 billion effective February 27, 2001. Under the U.S. Bancorp Preferred Share Purchase Rights Plan each share of common stock carries a right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of preferred stock. The rights become exercisable in certain limited circumstances involving a potential business combination transaction or an acquisition of shares of the Company and are exercisable at a price of $100 per right, subject to adjustment. Following certain other events, each right entitles its holder to purchase for $100 an amount of common stock of the Company, or, in certain circumstances, securities of the acquiror, having a then-current market value of twice the exercise price of the right. The rights are redeemable and may be amended at the Company's option before they are exercisable. Until a right is exercised, the holder or a right has no rights as a shareholder of the Company. The rights expire on February 27, 2011. The Company issued 18.2 million and 47.8 million shares of common stock with an aggregate value of $.3 billion and $1.3 billion in connection with purchase acquisitions during 2000 and 1999, respectively. On February 16, 2000, USBM's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 billion of its common stock over a two-year period ending March 31, 2002. This USBM repurchase program replaced a program which was scheduled to expire on March 31, 2000. On April 11, 2000, Firstar's Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program of 100 million shares. The stock repurchase programs of Firstar and USBM were rescinded on October 4, 2000 and January 17, 2001, respectively, in connection with the planned merger of the formerly separate companies. The following table summarizes the Company's common stock repurchases for each of the last three years: (Dollars and Shares in Millions) Number of Shares Value ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2000.............................. 58.6 $1,182.2 1999.............................. 44.5 1,187.9 1998.............................. 37.0 1,104.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------ USBM offered employees and directors an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") that permitted all eligible employees with at least one year of service and directors to purchase common stock (see Note 17). In connection with the planned merger with Firstar, the ESPP was terminated effective October 13, 2000. USBM's Dividend Reinvestment Plan providing for automatic reinvestment of dividends and optional cash purchases was suspended on November 9, 2000, following the announcement of the definitive agreement to merge with Firstar.

Employees are fully vested after five years of service. The Company's funding policy is to contribute amounts to its plans sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional amounts as the Company determines to be appropriate. The actuarial cost method used to compute the pension liabilities and expense is the projected unit credit method. Prior to their acquisition dates, employees of certain acquired companies were covered by separate, noncontributory pension plans that provided benefits based on years of service and compensation. Plan assets primarily consist of listed stocks, corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, and mutual funds. The Company also maintains several unfunded, nonqualified, supplemental executive retirement programs that provide additional defined pension benefits for certain employees. The assumptions used in computing the present value of the accumulated benefit obligation, the projected benefit obligation and net pension expense are substantially consistent with those assumptions used for the funded qualified plans. OTHER POSTRETIREMENT PLANS In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides health care and death benefits to certain retired employees. Employees may become eligible for health care benefits by meeting defined age and service requirements. The Company may also subsidize the cost of coverage for employees meeting certain requirements. The plan contains other cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The estimated cost of these retiree benefit payments is accrued during the employees' active service.

A portion of these contributions is matched by the Company. All of the Company's matching contributions are invested in the Company's common stock. Employee contributions are invested, at the employees' direction, among a variety of investment alternatives. Total expense was $53.6 million, $57.3 million and $37.1 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN The ESPP of USBM permitted all eligible employees with at least one year of service and directors to purchase common stock. Plan participants could purchase stock for 85 percent of the fair market value, which is based on the price at the beginning or the end of the purchase period, whichever is lower. Any discount was determined by a committee of the Board of Directors. In 2000 and 1999, the purchase price was 85 percent of the fair market value. The plan resulted in no compensation expense to the Company. Due to the merger with Firstar, the ESPP was terminated effective October 13, 2000. NOTE 18 STOCK OPTIONS AND COMPENSATION PLANS STOCK OPTION AND COMPENSATION PLANS As part of its employee and director compensation programs, the Company may grant certain stock awards under the provisions of existing stock option and compensation plans. The Company has stock options outstanding under various plans at December 31, including plans assumed in acquisitions. The plans provide for grants of options to purchase shares of common stock generally at the stock's fair market value at the date of grant. In addition, the plans provide for grants of shares of common stock which are subject to restriction on transfer and to a right of repurchase by the Company. With respect to stock option and stock compensation plans, the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") in accounting for its employee stock incentive and purchase plans. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock U.S. Bancorp 25 31 on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. On the date exercised, if new shares are issued, the option proceeds equal to the par value of the shares are credited to common stock and additional proceeds are credited to capital surplus. If treasury shares are issued, the option proceeds equal to the average treasury share price are credited to treasury stock and additional proceeds are credited to capital surplus. Options granted are generally exercisable up to ten years from the date of grant and vest over three to five years. Restricted shares vest over three to seven years. The vesting of certain options and restricted shares accelerate based on growth in diluted operating earnings per share and on the performance of the Company in comparison to performance of a predetermined group of regional banks. Compensation expense for restricted stock is based on the market price of the Company stock at the time of the grant and amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For the performance-based restricted shares, compensation expense is amortized using the estimated vesting period. Compensation expense related to the restricted stock was $43.4 million, $69.5 million and $41.9 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Stock incentive plans of acquired companies are generally terminated at the merger closing dates. Option holders under such plans receive the Company's common stock, or options to buy the Company's stock, based on the conversion terms of the various merger agreements. The historical option information presented below has been restated to reflect the options originally granted under acquired companies' plans. At December 31, 2000, there were 40.6 million shares (subject to adjustment for forfeitures) available for grant under various plans. The following is a summary of stock options outstanding and exercised under various stock options plans of the Company. 2000 1999 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- Stock Options/ Average Stock Options/ Average Stock Options/ Average Awards Exercise Price Awards Exercise Price Awards Exercise Price --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXECUTIVE STOCK OPTION PLANS: Number outstanding at beginning of year.......... 153,163,030 $22.74 107,405,102 $17.97 104,497,354 $13.95 Granted.................. 22,633,170 19.64 75,922,950 27.08 36,778,209 25.56 Assumed/converted........ 447,341 6.85 1,210,738 16.58 1,748,563 12.39 Exercised................

The fair value of options was estimated at the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option valuation models require the use of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective 26 U.S. Bancorp 32 input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The pro forma disclosures include options granted in 2000, 1999 and 1998 and are not likely to be representative of the pro forma disclosures for future years. The estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.

Amounts deferred under the plan may be valued on the basis of an interest index or be used to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. Although the plan is unfunded for tax purposes, a portion of the shares of treasury stock held at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were acquired to meet obligations arising from these plans and are considered common stock equivalents for the purpose of computing earnings per share. The Company has entered into agreements with certain officers that provide for the payment of a lump sum benefit to the officer, plus the continuation of certain medical and insurance benefits and immediate exercisability of stock options, in the event that the officer's employment is terminated involuntarily by the Company or voluntarily by the officer for good reason, following a change in control of the Company during the officer's protected period. The benefits payable under the agreements can be up to three times the officer's base salary and incentive bonus.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for the same items for income tax reporting purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31 were as follows: (Dollars in Millions) 2000 1999 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEFERRED TAX ASSETS Allowance for credit losses................................. $ 637.0 $ 633.4 $ 626.1 Pension and postretirement benefits......................... 53.5 67.7 73.5 Deferred fees............................................... 35.0 56.2 75.3 Real estate and other asset basis differences............... 31.9 30.2 31.9 State and federal net operating loss carry forwards......... 25.0 23.8 22.1 Federal AMT credits and capital losses...................... 22.0 22.9 7.6 Charitable contributions.................................... .9 6.5 4.2 Accrued severance, pension and retirement benefits.......... 30.6 70.9 56.0 Other deferred tax assets, net.............................. 196.0 186.4 293.8 ---------------------------------- Gross deferred tax assets................................ 1,031.9 1,098.0 1,190.5 DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES Leasing activities..........................................

In determining that realization of the deferred tax asset was more likely than not, the Company gave consideration to a number of factors, including its taxable income during carryback periods, its recent earnings history, its expectations for earnings in the future and, where applicable, the expiration dates associated with tax carrybacks and carryforwards. A valuation allowance has been established to offset deferred tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $437 million, which expire at various times within the next 15 years. 28 U.S. Bancorp 34 Certain events covered by Internal Revenue Code section 593 (e), which was not repealed, will trigger a recapture of base year reserve of acquired thrift institutions. The base year reserve of acquired thrift institutions would be recaptured if an entity ceases to qualify as a bank for federal income tax purposes. The base year reserve of thrift institutions also remain subject to income tax penalty provisions that, in general, require recapture upon certain stock redemptions of, and excess distributions to, stockholders. At December 31, 2000, retained earnings included approximately $101.8 million of base year reserves for which no deferred federal income tax liability has been recognized. NOTE 20 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS In the normal course of business, the Company uses various off-balance sheet financial instruments to manage its interest rate and market risk and to meet the needs of its customers. These instruments carry varying degrees of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk. The contract or notional amounts of these financial instruments at December 31 were as follows: (Dollars In Millions) 2000 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commitments to extend credit Commercial............................................... $46,434 $46,734 Corporate and purchasing cards........................... 21,236 18,503 Consumer credit cards.................................... 20,254 19,971 Other consumer........................................... 8,580 8,895 Letters of credit Standby.................................................. 6,380 5,832 Commercial............................................... 527 587 Interest rate swap contracts Hedges................................................... 8,758 8,643 Basis swaps.............................................. 1,000 -- Intermediated............................................ 4,007 2,008 Options contracts Hedge interest rate floors purchased..................... 500 805 Intermediated interest rate and foreign exchange caps and floors purchased........................................ 709 589 Intermediated interest rate and foreign exchange caps and floors written.......................................... 709 589 Credit derivatives purchased................................ 80 20 Futures and forward contracts............................... 25 34 Recourse on assets sold..................................... 2,138 1,927 Foreign currency commitments Commitments to purchase.................................. 1,717 1,639 Commitments to sell...................................... 1,724 1,597 Commitments from securities lending......................... 1,037 717 Commitments to sell residential mortgages................... 963 589 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT Commitments to extend credit are legally binding and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The contractual amount represents the Company's exposure to credit loss, in the event of default by the borrower. The Company manages this credit risk by using the same credit policies it applies to loans. Collateral is obtained to secure commitments based on management's credit assessment of the borrower. The collateral may include marketable securities, receivables, inventory, equipment and real estate. Since the Company expects many of the commitments to expire without being drawn, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent the Company's future liquidity requirements. In addition, the commitments include consumer credit lines that are cancelable upon notification to the consumer. LETTERS OF CREDIT Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments the Company issues to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The guarantees frequently support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuances, bond financings and other similar transactions. The Company issues commercial letters of credit on behalf of customers to ensure payment or collection in connection with trade transactions. In the event of a customer's nonperformance, the Company's credit loss exposure is the same as in any extension of U.S. Bancorp 29 35 credit, up to the letter's contractual amount. Management assesses the borrower's credit to determine the necessary collateral, which may include marketable securities, real estate, accounts receivable and inventory. Since the conditions requiring the Company to fund letters of credit may not occur, the Company expects its liquidity requirements to be less than the total outstanding commitments. INTEREST RATE SWAPS AND OPTIONS Interest rate swaps are contracts to exchange fixed- and variable-rate interest payment obligations based on a notional principal amount. The Company enters into swaps to hedge its balance sheet against fluctuations in interest rates and as an intermediary for customers. At December 31, 2000, and 1999, interest rate swaps with notional values totaling $8.8 billion and $8.6 billion, respectively, hedged loans, borrowings, deposits and long-term debt. The Company received fixed-rate interest and paid floating-rate interest on substantially all swaps in its hedging portfolio as of December 31, 2000. Activity with respect to interest rate swap hedges was as follows: (Dollars In Millions) 2000 1999 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Notional amount outstanding at beginning of year................. $8,643 $ 8,107 $ 6,528 Additions.......................... 1,720 5,032 3,180 Maturities......................... (260) (2,240) (1,358) Amortization....................... (666) (143) -- Terminations....................... (679) (2,113) (243) ---------------------------- Notional amount outstanding at end of year........................... $8,758 $ 8,643 $ 8,107 ------------------------------------------------------------------- At December 31: Weighted average interest rate paid.............................. 6.78% 6.51% 5.72% Weighted average interest rate received.......................... 6.54% 6.38% 6.24% ------------------------------------------------------------------- For the hedging portfolio's notional balances and yields by maturity date as of year-end 2000, see Table 19. At December 31, 2000, and 1999, LIBOR-based interest rate floors totaling $500 million with an average remaining maturity of .7 years and $805 million with an average remaining maturity of 1.1 years, respectively, hedged floating rate commercial loans and deposits. The strike rate on these LIBOR-based floors was 4.63 percent at December 31, 2000 and 4.68 percent at December 31, 1999. The premium on floors is amortized over the life of the contract. The impact of the floors on net interest income was not significant for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. For swaps and options used as hedges, the Company recognizes interest income or expense as it is accrued over the term of the hedge. The gain or loss on a terminated hedge is amortized over the remaining life of the original swap or remaining life of the hedged item, whichever is shorter. The impact of the amortization of deferred gains and losses on hedges on net interest income was not significant for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. Net unamortized deferred losses were $18.7 million at December 31, 2000. In addition to utilizing swaps and options as part of its asset/liability management strategy, the Company acts as an intermediary for swap and option agreements on behalf of its customers. To reduce its market risk exposure, the Company generally enters into offsetting positions. The total notional amount of customer swap agreements, including the offsetting positions, was $4.0 billion and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The total notional amount of customer option agreements, including the offsetting positions, was $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Market value changes on intermediated swaps, options and futures contracts are recognized in income in the period of change. Realized gains or losses on intermediated transactions were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. The credit risk related to interest rate swap and option agreements is that counterparties may be unable to meet the contractual terms. The Company estimates this risk by calculating the present value of the cost to replace all outstanding contracts in a gain position at current market rates, reported on a net basis by each counterparty. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the gain position of these contracts, in the aggregate, was approximately $167 million and $53 million, respectively. The Company manages the credit risk of its interest rate swap and option contracts through bilateral collateral agreements, credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. Commercial lending officers perform credit analyses and establish counterparty limits. Senior Credit Administration periodically reviews positions to monitor compliance with the limits. In addition, the Company reduces the assumed counterparty credit risk through master netting agreements that permit the Company to settle multiple interest rate contracts with a given counterparty on a net basis. FUTURES AND FORWARD CONTRACTS Futures and forward contracts are agreements for the delayed delivery of securities or cash settlement money market instruments. The Company enters into futures contracts to hedge the 30 U.S. Bancorp 36 market risk on its fixed income inventory positions. The Company enters into forward contracts to hedge the interest rate risk of its mortgage loans held for sale. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, futures contracts outstanding were $25 million and $15 million, respectively. There were no forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2000. Forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 1999 were $19 million. At December 31, 2000, net unamortized deferred gains on the forward agreements were not significant. The Company manages its credit risk on forward contracts, which arises from nonperformance by counterparties, through credit approval and limit procedures. RECOURSE ON ASSETS SOLD The Company is obligated under recourse provisions related to the sale of certain loans. The contract amount of these loans was $3.5 billion at December 31, 2000, and $3.8 billion at December 31, 1999. The maximum contractual amount of recourse on these loans was $2.1 billion at December 31, 2000, and $1.9 billion at December 31, 1999. FOREIGN CURRENCY COMMITMENTS The Company uses foreign currency commitments to help customers reduce the risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Through these contracts, the Company exchanges currencies at specified rates on specified dates with various counterparties. The Company minimizes the market and liquidity risks by taking offsetting positions. In addition, the Company controls the market risks by limiting the net exposure through policies, procedures, and monitoring. The Company manages its credit risk, or potential risk of loss from default by a counterparty, through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures. The aggregate replacement cost of contracts in a gain position at December 31, 2000, was not significant. COMMITMENTS FROM SECURITIES LENDING The Company participates in securities lending activities by acting as a customer's agent involving the loan or sale of securities. The Company indemnifies customers for the difference between the market value of the securities lent and the market value of the collateral received. These transactions are collateralized by cash. CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS The Company primarily lends to borrowers in the 24 states where it has banking offices. Collateral for commercial loans may include marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. For detail of the Company's commercial portfolio by industry group and geography as of December 31, 2000, and 1999, see Table 9 on page 50, which is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For detail of the Company's commercial real estate portfolio by property type and geography as of December 31, 2000, and 1999, see Table 10 on page 51, which is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Such loans are collateralized by the related property. For detail of the company's retail loan portfolio see Table 7 on page 49 under the category "Retail" for the last five years ended December 31, which is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE SALE COMMITMENTS The Company enters into commitments to sell groups of residential mortgage loans that it originates or purchases as part of its mortgage banking activities. The Company commits to sell the loans at specified prices in a future period typically within 90 days. The risk associated with these commitments consists primarily of loans not closing in sufficient volumes and at appropriate yields to meet the sale commitments. The Company had contracts totaling $963 million and $589 million on December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Gains or losses on these contracts are included in the determination of the market value of mortgages held for sale. NOTE 21 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Due to the nature of its business and its customers' needs, the Company offers a large number of financial instruments, most of which are not actively traded. When market quotes are unavailable, valuation techniques including discounted cash flow calculations and pricing models or services are used. The Company also uses various aggregation methods and assumptions, such as the discount rate and cash flow timing and amounts. As a result, the fair value estimates can neither be substantiated by independent market comparisons, nor realized by the immediate sale or settlement of the financial instrument. Also, the estimates reflect a point in time and could change significantly based on changes in economic factors, such as interest rates. Furthermore, the disclosure of certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are not required. Finally, the fair value disclosure is not intended to estimate a market value of the Company as a whole. A summary of the Company's valuation techniques and assumptions follows. U.S. Bancorp 31 37 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The carrying value of cash, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements was assumed to approximate fair value. SECURITIES Generally, trading account securities and available-for-sale securities were valued using available market quotes. In some instances, for securities that are not widely traded, market quotes for comparable securities were used. LOANS The loan portfolio consists of both floating and fixed-rate loans, the fair value of which was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and other valuation techniques. To calculate discounted cash flows, the loans were aggregated into pools of similar types and expected repayment terms. The expected cash flows of loans considered historical prepayment experiences and estimated credit losses for nonperforming loans and were discounted using current rates offered to borrowers of similar credit characteristics. DEPOSIT LIABILITIES The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is equal to the amount payable on demand at year-end. The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit was estimated by discounting the contractural cash flow using the discount rates implied by the high-grade corporate bond yield curve. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term funds borrowed are at floating rates or have short-term maturities. Their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. LONG-TERM DEBT AND COMPANY-OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY TRUSTS HOLDING SOLELY THE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES OF THE PARENT COMPANY Medium-term notes, Euro medium-term notes, bank notes, Federal Home Loan Bank Advances, capital lease obligations and mortgage note obligations estimated fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market rates of similar maturity debt securities to discount cash flows. Other long-term debt instruments and company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of subsidiary trusts holding solely the junior subordinated debentures of the parent company were valued using available market quotes. INTEREST RATE SWAPS, BASIS SWAPS AND OPTIONS The interest rate options and swap cash flows were estimated using a third party pricing model and discounted based on appropriate LIBOR, Eurodollar futures, swap and Treasury Note yield curves. LOAN COMMITMENTS, LETTERS OF CREDIT AND GUARANTEES The Company's commitments have floating rates and do not expose the Company to interest rate risk. No premium or discount was ascribed to the loan commitments because virtually all funding would be at current market rates. 32 U.S. Bancorp 38 The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are shown in the table below. 2000 1999 -------------------------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair (Dollars in Millions) Amount Value Amount Value ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FINANCIAL ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents................................ $ 9,132 $ 9,132 $ 9,258 $ 9,258 Trading account securities............................... 753 753 617 617 Investment securities.................................... 17,642 17,647 17,449 17,455 Loans held for sale...................................... 764 764 670 670 Loans.................................................... 120,578 121,139 111,519 112,150 -------------------------------------------- Total financial assets............................. 148,869 $149,435 139,513 $140,150 -------- -------- Nonfinancial assets............................. 16,052 14,805 ------- -------- Total assets................................. $164,921 $154,318 ------- -------- FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Deposits................................................. $109,535 $109,593 $103,417 $103,847 Short-term borrowings.................................... 11,833 11,833 10,558 10,558 Long-term debt........................................... 21,876 22,006 21,027 20,948 Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities.............................................. 1,400 1,351 1,400 1,284 -------------------------------------------- Total financial liabilities........................ 144,644 $144,783 136,402 $136,637 -------- -------- Nonfinancial liabilities........................ 5,109 3,969 Shareholders' equity............................ 15,168 13,947 ------- -------- Total liabilities and shareholders' equity......... $164,921 $154,318 ------- -------- OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Hedge swaps Gain............................................... 140 $ 4 Loss...............................................

Federal law prohibits loans unless they are secured and generally limits any loan to the Company or individual affiliate to 10 percent of the bank's equity. In aggregate, loans to the Company and all affiliates cannot exceed 20 percent of the bank's equity. Dividend payments to the Company by its subsidiary banks are subject to regulatory review and statutory limitations and, in some instances, regulatory approval. The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if total dividends by a national bank in any calendar year exceed the bank's net income for that year combined with its retained net income for the preceding two calendar years or if the bank's retained earnings are less than zero. Furthermore, dividends are restricted by the Comptroller of the Currency's minimum capital constraints for all national banks. Within these guidelines, all bank subsidiaries have the ability to pay dividends without prior regulatory approval. The amount of dividends available to the parent company from the bank subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 was $504 million.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of Firstar Corporation and the former U.S. Bancorp on February 27, 2001 in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests, as described in Notes 1 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /S/ PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS, LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota April 13, 2001 U.S. Bancorp 37 43 (This page has been left blank

U.S. Bancorp 45 51 TABLE 1 LINE OF BUSINESS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Operating segments are components of the Company about which financial information is available and is evaluated regularly in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Prior to the merger, the Company operated its business units separately in 2000 and 1999 as Firstar and USBM and the basis of financial presentation differed significantly. Accordingly, the presentation of comparative business line results is not practicable at this time.
