See the Glossary of terms on pages 77–78 for a definition of terms used throughout this Form 10–Q. The MD&A included in this Form 10–Q contains statements that are forward looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of JPMorgan Chase’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Factors that could cause JPMorgan Chase’s results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the JPMorgan Chase 2004 Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

INTRODUCTION
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase” or the “Firm”), a financial holding company incorporated under Delaware law in 1968, is a leading global financial services firm and one of the largest banking institutions in the United States, with $1.2 trillion in assets, $105 billion in stockholders’ equity and operations in more than 50 countries. The Firm is a leader in investment banking, financial services for consumers and businesses, financial transaction processing, investment management, private banking and private equity. JPMorgan Chase serves more than 90 million customers, including consumers nationwide and many of the world’s most prominent wholesale clients.

JPMorgan Chase’s principal bank subsidiaries are JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), a national banking association with branches in 17 states; and Chase Bank USA, National Association, a national bank headquartered in Delaware that is the Firm’s credit card issuing bank. JPMorgan Chase’s principal nonbank subsidiary is J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMSI”), its U.S. investment banking firm.

The headquarters for JPMorgan Chase is in New York City. The retail banking business, which includes the consumer banking, small business banking and consumer lending activities (with the exception of credit card), is headquartered in Chicago. Chicago also serves as the headquarters for the commercial banking business.

JPMorgan Chase’s activities are organized, for management reporting purposes, into six business segments, as well as Corporate. The Firm’s wholesale businesses are comprised of the Investment Bank, Commercial Banking, Treasury & Securities Services, and Asset & Wealth Management. The Firm’s consumer businesses are comprised of Retail Financial Services and Card Services. A description of the Firm’s business segments, and the products and services they provide to their respective client bases, follows:

Investment Bank
JPMorgan Chase is one of the world’s leading investment banks, as evidenced by the breadth of its client relationships and product capabilities. The Investment Bank (“IB”) has extensive relationships with corporations, financial institutions, governments and institutional investors worldwide. The Firm provides a full range of investment banking products and services in all major capital markets, including advising on corporate strategy and structure, capital raising in equity and debt markets, sophisticated risk management, and market-making in cash securities and derivative instruments. The IB also commits the Firm’s own capital to proprietary investing and trading activities.

Retail Financial Services
Retail Financial Services (“RFS”) includes Home Finance, Consumer & Small Business Banking, Auto & Education Finance and Insurance. Through this group of businesses, the Firm provides consumers and small businesses with a broad range of financial products and services including deposits, investments, loans and insurance. Home Finance is a leading provider of consumer real estate loan products and is one of the largest originators and servicers of home mortgages. Consumer & Small Business Banking offers one of the largest branch networks in the United States, covering 17 states with 2,517 branches and 6,687 automated teller machines. Auto & Education Finance is the largest bank originator of automobile loans as well as a top provider of loans for college students. Through its Insurance operations, the Firm sells and underwrites an extensive range of financial protection products and investment alternatives, including life insurance, annuities and debt protection products.

Card Services
Card Services (“CS”) is the largest issuer of general purpose credit cards in the United States, with approximately 94 million cards in circulation, and is the largest merchant acquirer. CS offers a wide variety of products to satisfy the needs of its cardmembers, including cards issued on behalf of many well-known partners, such as major airlines, hotels, universities, retailers and other financial institutions.

Commercial Banking
Commercial Banking (“CB”) serves more than 25,000 corporations, municipalities, financial institutions and not-for-profit entities, with annual revenues generally ranging from $10 million to $2 billion. A local market presence and a strong customer service model, coupled with a focus on risk management, provide a solid infrastructure for CB to provide the Firm’s complete product set – lending, treasury services, investment banking and investment management – to both corporate clients and their executives. CB’s clients benefit greatly from the Firm’s extensive branch network and often use the Firm exclusively to meet their financial services needs.

Treasury & Securities Services
Treasury & Securities Services (“TSS”) is a global leader in providing transaction, investment and information services to support the needs of corporations, issuers and institutional investors worldwide. TSS is the largest cash management provider in the world and the leading global custodian. The Treasury Services (“TS”) business provides clients with a broad range of capabilities, including U.S. dollar and multi-currency clearing, ACH, trade, and short-term liquidity and working capital tools. The Investor Services (“IS”) business provides a wide range of capabilities, including custody, funds services, securities lending, and performance measurement and execution products. The Institutional Trust Services (“ITS”) business provides trustee, depository and administrative services for debt and equity issuers. Treasury Services partners with the Commercial Banking, Consumer & Small Business Banking and Asset & Wealth Management segments to serve clients firmwide. As a result, certain Treasury Services revenues are included in other segments’ results. On April 18, 2005, TSS announced that it combined its investor and issuer services capabilities under the name Worldwide Securities Services. The integrated franchise brought together the former Investor Services and Institutional Trust Services businesses, and will provide custody and investor services as well as securities clearance and trust services to clients globally.

Asset & Wealth Management
Asset & Wealth Management (“AWM”) provides investment management to retail and institutional investors, financial intermediaries and high-net-worth families and individuals globally. For retail investors, AWM provides investment management products and services, including a global mutual fund franchise, retirement plan administration and brokerage services. AWM delivers investment management to institutional investors across all asset classes. The Private Bank and Private Client Services businesses provide integrated wealth management services to ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth clients, respectively.

MERGER WITH BANK ONE CORPORATION
Bank One Corporation’s (“Bank One”) results of operations were included in the Firm’s results beginning July 1, 2004. Therefore, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005, reflect three months of operations of the combined Firm, while the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004, reflect the operations of heritage JPMorgan Chase only.

Management expects that, as a result of the Merger, cost savings of approximately $3.0 billion (pre-tax) will be achieved by the end of 2007; approximately two-thirds of the savings are anticipated to be realized by the end of 2005. During the first quarter of 2005, approximately $380 million of merger savings were realized, which is an annualized run rate of $1.5 billion. Management currently expects one-time merger costs to combine the operations of JPMorgan Chase and Bank One to range from approximately $4.0 billion to $4.5 billion (pre-tax). Of these costs, approximately $1.0 billion, specifically related to Bank One, were accounted for as purchase accounting adjustments and were recorded as an increase to goodwill in 2004. Of the approximately $3.0 billion to $3.5 billion in remaining Merger-related costs, $145 million (pre-tax) were incurred during the first quarter of 2005, and $1.4 billion (pre-tax) were incurred in 2004; these costs have been charged to income. Additional merger costs of approximately $1.3 billion (pre-tax) are expected to be incurred in 2005, and the remaining costs are expected to be incurred in 2006. These estimated Merger-related charges will result from actions taken with respect to both JPMorgan Chase’s and Bank One’s operations, facilities and employees. The charges will be recorded based on the nature and timing of these integration actions.

Cazenove
On February 28, 2005, JPMorgan Chase and Cazenove Group plc (“Cazenove”) formed a joint venture partnership which combined Cazenove’s investment banking business and JPMorgan Chase’s United Kingdom-based investment banking business in order to provide investment banking services in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The new company is called JPMorgan Cazenove Holdings.

JPMorgan Partners
On March 1, 2005, the Firm announced that the management team of JPMorgan Partners, LLC, a private equity unit of the Firm, will become independent when it completes the investment of the current $6.5 billion Global Fund, which it advises. The independent management team intends to raise a new fund as a successor to the Global Fund. JPMorgan Chase has committed to invest 24.9% of the limited partnership interests, up to $1 billion, in the new fund.

WorldCom litigation settlement
On March 17, 2005, JPMorgan Chase settled, for $2.0 billion (pre-tax), the WorldCom, Inc. class action litigation. In connection with the settlement, JPMorgan Chase increased its Litigation reserve by $900 million (pre-tax).

Vastera
On April 1, 2005, JPMorgan Chase acquired Vastera, a provider of global trade management solutions, for approximately $129 million. Vastera’s business was combined with the Logistics and Trade Services businesses of TSS’s Treasury Services unit. Vastera automates trade management processes associated with the physical movement of goods internationally; the acquisition enables Treasury Services to offer management of information and processes in support of physical goods movement, together with financial settlement.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
This overview of management’s discussion and analysis highlights selected information and may not contain all of the information that is important to readers of this Form 10–Q. For a more complete understanding of events, trends, uncertainties, liquidity, capital resources and critical accounting estimates affecting the Firm and its various lines of business, this Form 10–Q should be read in its entirety.

Business overview
The Firm reported net income for the first quarter of 2005 of $2.3 billion, or $0.63 per share, compared with $1.9 billion, or $0.92 per share, in the first quarter of 2004. Return on common equity for the quarter was 9%. Results included $648 million of after-tax charges, or $0.18 per share, which included a litigation reserve charge of $558 million and Merger costs of $90 million. Excluding these charges, operating earnings were $2.9 billion, or $0.81 per share, and return on common equity was 11%. Operating earnings represent business results without merger-related costs and the litigation reserve charge.

In the first quarter of 2005, both the global and U.S. economies continued to expand although the pace of growth slowed later in the quarter. The U.S. economy experienced a continued rise in short-term interest rates, driven by two quarter-point increases in the federal funds rate, from 2.25% to 2.75%. This led to continued yield curve flattening, as long-term interest rates were relatively stable. Equity markets, both domestic and international, enjoyed positive returns versus the prior-quarter and prior-year. However, equity markets did weaken noticeably late in the quarter. The U.S. consumer sector showed positive trends during the first quarter, but spending growth appeared to be moderating following strong gains in the second half of 2004. New hiring and income gains offset higher energy prices.

On an operating basis, net income in each of the Firm’s business segments, in comparison to 2004, was affected significantly by the Merger. The following discussion highlights factors, other than the Merger, that affected operating results.

Investment Banking revenues benefited from increased investment banking fees, with strength in debt underwriting, advisory and equity underwriting. Offsetting this improved performance were lower net interest income and slightly lower trading revenues, compared to record results in the prior year. The reduction in the allowance for credit losses was primarily related to the improved quality of the loan portfolio, resulting from turnover in the mix of the loan portfolio towards higher-rated clients and from net recoveries. Higher expenses were related to performance-based compensation accruals.

Retail Financial Services revenues benefited from higher net interest income due to wider deposit spreads, growth in deposit balances and growth in retained home equity loan balances, partially offset by several loan portfolio sales. Revenues also benefited from improved MSR asset risk management results and secondary marketing activities in Home Finance. Partially offsetting these benefits was a decrease in revenue due to lower prime mortgage originations and a write-down related to the transfer of auto loans to held-for-sale. The provision for credit losses benefited from improving credit quality in all portfolios and reductions in the allowance for credit losses reflecting the sale of recreational vehicle loans and the transfer of auto loans to held-for-sale. Expenses decreased due to merger-related savings and ongoing efficiency improvements, partially offset by continued expansion of the retail distribution network and a charge related to the dissolution of a student loan joint venture.

Card Services revenue benefited from higher loan balances, which resulted in higher net interest income. Additionally, higher customer charge volume generated increased interchange income. Partially offsetting these revenue improvements were volume-driven increases in payments to partners and higher reward payments. The provision for credit losses benefited from lower net charge-offs reflecting lower bankruptcies and delinquencies, partially offset by additions to the allowance for loan losses related to growth in on-balance sheet loans. Expenses benefited from lower compensation and processing costs, which were partially offset by increased marketing spend.

Commercial Banking revenues benefited from wider spreads on increased liability balances. These benefits were partially offset by lower fees in lieu of compensating balances and lower gains on the sale of assets acquired in the satisfaction of debt. Credit quality remained strong, allowing the provision for credit losses to be a slight net benefit. Expenses increased due to higher Treasury Services product-unit costs.

Treasury & Securities Services revenues benefited from wider spreads on increased liability balances, growth in assets under custody and broad-based growth in product revenues. These benefits were partially offset by lower service charges on deposits. Expenses increased due to compensation and technology-related costs, but were partially offset by higher product-unit costs charged to other lines of business.

Asset & Wealth Management revenues were positively affected by the acquisition of a majority interest in Highbridge Capital Management, net asset inflows, global equity market appreciation and deposit growth. Provision for credit losses improved due to lower charge-offs, and expenses increased due to Highbridge and higher performance-based compensation.

Performance in the Corporate segment was negatively affected by securities losses related to the repositioning of the investment securities portfolio. Private Equity results were strong and included two large gains.

The Firm’s balance sheet remains strong, with total stockholders’ equity of $105 billion and a Tier 1 capital ratio at March 31, 2005 of 8.6%. The Firm repurchased $1.3 billion, or 36 million shares, of common stock during the quarter.

Business outlook
The Investment Bank entered 2005 with a strong pipeline for advisory and underwriting business and, at March 31, 2005, the pipeline remained at these levels. In addition, the Investment Bank continues to focus on growing its client-driven trading business, although overall trading revenues are difficult to predict and can be volatile from period to period. Trading revenues have historically been seasonally stronger in the first quarter, and trading conditions have been less favorable in April. Compared with 2004, the Investment Bank expects a reduction in credit portfolio revenues, as both net interest income on loans and gains from workouts are likely to decrease.

Card Services expects to maintain a relatively stable net interest margin with loan repricing opportunities offset by higher funding costs. Marketing spend is also expected to increase from the first quarter level. Within Retail Financial Services, net interest income will be negatively affected by recent loan portfolio sales. Home Finance will continue to be affected by the market-driven decline in mortgage originations and the volatility of MSR risk management revenues. Consumer & Small Business Banking expects continued growth in core deposits and associated revenue, partially offset by ongoing investments in the branch distribution network. New branch openings are expected to accelerate during the remainder of the year.

The revenue outlook for the Private Equity business is directly related to the strength of equity market conditions. Given the large gains in the first quarter, it is expected that the level of quarterly gains for the remainder of the year will be in the range of $150 million to $200 million, although results can be volatile from quarter to quarter.

It is expected that, over time, the provision for credit losses will return to a more normal level for the wholesale businesses. The consumer provision for credit losses should reflect generally stable credit quality, increased balances and the lack of allowance reductions related to portfolio sales. The Firm plans to begin implementing new minimum-payment rules in the Card Services business during the third quarter of 2005 that will result in higher required payments from some customers. It is anticipated that this may increase delinquency and net charge-off rates in 2006. The magnitude of the impact is currently being assessed. The Firm expects the level of bankruptcy filings to accelerate prior to the October effective date of the bankruptcy legislation signed into law on April 20, 2005. Bankruptcy filings subsequent to the October effective date are expected to normalize.

Expenses in the first quarter, excluding performance-based compensation, were down because merger-related saves and other efficiencies more than offset incremental spending and increased expenses related to acquisitions. Expenses, excluding performance-based compensation, are expected to increase in the second quarter over the first quarter by approximately $200 million to $250 million. This increase is expected to include $200 million to $250 million of incremental spending related to technology, marketing and distribution network expansion and $70 million of acquisition-related expenses, partially offset by $60 million of incremental merger saves. For the full year, expenses, excluding performance-based compensation, are expected to be essentially flat to 2004, as increases related to acquisitions and incremental spending are expected to be offset by incremental merger saves.

The following section provides a discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s consolidated results of operations on a reported basis. Factors that are primarily related to a single business segment are discussed in more detail within that business segment. For a discussion of the Critical accounting estimates used by the Firm that affect the Consolidated results of operations, see pages 52–53 of this Form 10–Q, and pages 77–79 of the JPMorgan Chase 2004 Annual Report.

Total net revenues, at $13.6 billion, rose by $4.6 billion, or 51%, primarily due to the Merger, which affected most revenue categories. Additional factors that contributed to the revenue growth were significantly higher Investment banking fees, reflecting continued strong levels of advisory and underwriting activities with particular strength in Europe; higher Asset management, administration and commissions, which benefited from an increase in the value of assets under management, supervision and custody, the result of global equity market appreciation, net asset inflows and an acquisition; private equity gains, driven by two large transactions; and consumer-related revenues stemming from stronger demand for credit products, higher credit card charge volume and growth in deposit levels. Partially offsetting these increases were securities losses on Treasury’s investment portfolio, the result of repositioning the investment portfolio; and, in RFS, lower prime mortgage originations and write-downs of auto loans that were transferred to the held-for-sale portfolio. The discussion that follows highlights factors other than the Merger that affected the comparison of the results of the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

The increase in Investment banking fees reflected continued strong levels of debt underwriting, advisory and equity underwriting. Investment banking fees from European deals more than doubled from last year. Higher Trading revenue was driven by strong client activity and portfolio management performance in the credit and interest rate markets across most major asset classes, partially offset by lower equity revenue from lower portfolio management results. For a further discussion of Investment banking fees and Trading revenue, which are primarily recorded in the IB, see the IB segment results on pages 14–16 of this Form 10–Q.

Lending & deposit related fees rose due to the Merger, but the increase was partially offset by lower fees in lieu of compensating balances as a result of rising interest rates. Throughout 2004 and the first quarter of 2005, deposit balances grew. For a further discussion on deposits, see page 35 of this Form 10-Q.

The increase in Asset management, administration and commissions was attributable to global equity market appreciation, net asset inflows and growth in custody, securities lending and trust products, including collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) administration. In addition, asset management and administration fees rose as a result of the acquisition of a majority interest in Highbridge Capital Management in the fourth quarter of 2004. For additional information on these fees and commissions, see the segment discussions for AWM on pages 29–32, TSS on pages 27–29 and RFS on pages 17–23 of this Form 10–Q.

Securities/private equity gains (losses) were affected by securities losses of $822 million, primarily related to Treasury’s repositioning of the investment portfolio to manage exposure to rising interest rates and Private equity gains of $777 million. The increase in Private equity gains of $471 million from the prior year was primarily due to two large transactions. For a further discussion of Securities/private equity gains (losses) , which are primarily recorded in the Firm’s Treasury and Private Equity businesses, see the Corporate segment discussion on pages 32–34 of this Form 10–Q.

The increase in Mortgage fees and related income reflected an increase in risk management results related to the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) asset and secondary marketing activities. These increases were offset in part by a reduction in revenue related to lower prime mortgage originations. Mortgage fees and related income excludes the impact of NII and AFS securities gains related to home mortgage activities. For a discussion of Mortgage fees and related income, which is primarily recorded in RFS’s Home Finance business, see the Home Finance discussion on pages 18–20 of this Form 10–Q.

Credit card income increased due to higher charge volume, which resulted in increased interchange income, partially offset by higher volume-driven payments to partners and rewards expense. For a further discussion of Credit card income, see CS’s segment results on pages 23–25 of this Form 10-Q.

The increase in Other income reflected higher net results from corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies, higher gains on sales of securities from loan workouts, and a gain on the sale of RFS’s recreational vehicle loan portfolio. These gains were offset in part by write-downs related to auto loans that were transferred to the held-for-sale portfolio in RFS.

Net interest income was also favorably affected by growth in consumer and wholesale deposit balances and spreads; higher consumer loans outstanding; the acquisition of a private-label portfolio in CS; and a $40 million charge taken in the first quarter of 2004 related to auto lease residuals. These increases were partially offset by lower wholesale loan balances and spreads, and the absence of the $4 billion manufactured home loan portfolio that was sold in late 2004. The Firm’s total average interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2005, were $898 billion, up 49% from March 31, 2004, primarily as a result of the Merger. The net interest yield on these assets, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 2.39%, an increase of 38 basis points from the prior year.

Provision for credit losses
The Provision for credit losses of $427 million was up $412 million compared with the prior year. The increase was the result of the Merger and growth in consumer loan balances in RFS and CS. These increases were partially offset by reductions in the allowance reflecting improved credit quality in the wholesale and RFS loan portfolios, and lower loan balances as a result of the sale of the recreational vehicle loan portfolio and the transfer of auto loans to the held-for-sale portfolio. For further information about the Provision for credit losses and the Firm’s management of credit risk, see the Credit risk management discussion on pages 41–49 of this Form 10–Q.

Noninterest expense
The following table presents the components of Noninterest expense:


Three months ended March 31,^(a) (in millions)	2005		2004		Change

Compensation expense	$	4,702	$	3,302		42	%

Merger costs		145		—		NM
Litigation reserve charge		900		—		NM

Total noninterest expense	$	9,937	$	6,093		63	%

Total Noninterest expense was $9.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2005, up $3.8 billion, or 63%, primarily due to the Merger. Excluding $145 million of Merger costs, and the $900 million Litigation reserve charge, Noninterest expense would have been $8.9 billion, up 46%. In addition to the Merger and litigation charges, expenses increased due to higher performance-based incentives and investments in employees and technology to support the businesses, including acquisitions. These were partially offset by ongoing efficiency improvements and merger-related savings. Each category of Noninterest expense was affected by the Merger. The discussion that follows highlights factors other than the Merger that affected the comparison of the results of the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

Compensation expense rose partially as a result of higher performance-related incentive accruals. The Firm added to its headcount as a result of insourcing its global technology infrastructure (effective December 31, 2004, JPMorgan Chase terminated its outsourcing agreement with IBM), and as a result of several acquisitions, including Highbridge. These increases were partially offset by ongoing efficiency improvements, merger-related savings throughout the Firm and a reduction in pension costs. The decline in pension costs was primarily attributable to the increase in the expected return on plan assets from a discretionary $1.1 billion contribution to the Firm’s defined benefit pension plan in April 2004, as well as changes in actuarial assumptions for 2005. For a detailed discussion of pension and other postretirement benefit costs, see Note 5 on page 61 of this Form 10-Q.

The Merger-related increase in Technology and communications expense was partially offset by lower costs associated with insourcing the global technology infrastructure support.

Professional & outside services rose, reflecting the costs of improving the Firm’s systems and technology, the termination of the aforementioned IBM outsourcing agreement and increased business growth. These expense increases were partially offset by the benefits of expense management initiatives.

Marketing expense increased due to the costs of acquiring new credit card and retail banking accounts, and of launching the new Chase brand.

Other expense was higher, reflecting a $40 million charge related to the dissolution of a student loan joint venture, and incremental expenses associated with several acquisitions, including Highbridge. These increases were partially offset by merger-related savings.

For a discussion of Amortization of intangibles and Merger costs, refer to Note 14 and Note 7 on pages 69–71 and 62, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.

In March 2005, the Firm recorded a $900 million ($558 million after-tax) litigation charge in connection with its settlement of the WorldCom class action litigation. For a further discussion of litigation, refer to Note 17 on page 72, and Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, on pages 81–82 of this Form 10-Q.

Income tax expense
The Firm’s Income before income tax expense, Income tax expense and effective tax rate were as follows for each of the periods indicated:

The reduction in the effective tax rate was the result of changes in the proportion of income subject to federal, state and local taxes, including a higher level of tax-exempt income and business tax credits. The Merger costs and Litigation reserve charge in the first quarter of 2005, reflecting tax benefits at a 38% marginal tax rate, also contributed to the reduction in the 2005 effective tax rate.

The Firm prepares its Consolidated financial statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”); these financial statements appear on pages 55–58 of this Form 10–Q. That presentation, which is referred to as “reported basis,” provides the reader with an understanding of the Firm’s results that can be consistently tracked from year to year and enables a comparison of the Firm’s performance with other companies’ U.S. GAAP financial statements.

In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management reviews the Firm’s and the lines of business’ results on an “operating basis,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The definition of operating basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results. In the case of the IB, noninterest revenue on an operating basis includes, in Trading revenue, Net interest income related to trading activities. Trading activities generate revenues, which are recorded for U.S. GAAP purposes in two line items on the income statement: Trading revenue, which includes the mark-to-market gains or losses on trading positions; and Net interest income, which includes the interest income or expense related to those positions. Combining both the Trading revenue and related Net interest income enables management to evaluate IB’s trading activities, by considering all revenue related to these activities, and facilitates operating comparisons to other competitors.

In the case of CS, operating, or managed, basis excludes the impact of credit card securitizations on total net revenue, the Provision for credit losses, net charge-offs and loan receivables. Through securitization the Firm transforms a portion of its credit card receivables into securities, which are sold to investors. The credit card receivables are removed from the Consolidated balance sheet through the transfer of principal credit card receivables to a trust, and the sale of undivided interests in the trusts to investors that entitle the investors to specific cash flows generated from the credit card receivables. The Firm retains the remaining undivided interests in the trust as seller’s interests, which are recorded in Loans on the Consolidated balance sheet. A gain or loss on the sale of credit card receivables to investors is recorded in Other income. Securitization also affects the Firm’s Consolidated income statement by reclassifying as Credit card income, interest income, certain fee revenue, and recoveries in excess of interest paid to the investors, gross credit losses and other trust expenses related to the securitized receivables. For a reconciliation of reported to managed basis of CS results, see page 25 of this Form 10–Q. For information regarding loans and residual interests sold and securitized, see Note 12 on pages 65–68 of this Form 10–Q. JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of “managed receivables” to evaluate the credit performance and overall financial performance of the underlying credit card loans, both sold and not sold: as the same borrower is continuing to use the credit card for ongoing charges, a borrower’s credit performance will affect both the loan receivables sold under SFAS 140 and those not sold. Thus, in its disclosures regarding managed loan receivables, JPMorgan Chase treats the sold receivables as if they were still on the balance sheet in order to disclose the credit performance (such as net charge-off rates) of the entire managed credit card portfolio. In addition, CS operations are funded, operating results are evaluated, and decisions about allocating resources such as employees and capital are based, on managed financial information.

Operating basis also excludes Merger costs and the Litigation reserve charge, as management believes these items are not part of the Firm’s normal daily business operations (and, therefore, are not indicative of trends) and do not provide meaningful comparisons with other periods.

Finally, Operating revenue (Noninterest Revenue and Net interest income) for each of the segments and the Firm is presented on a tax-equivalent basis. Accordingly, revenue from tax-exempt securities and investments that receive tax credits are presented in the operating results on a basis comparable to taxable securities and investments. This allows management to assess the comparability of revenues arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to these items is recorded within Income tax expense. In the first quarter of 2005, the Corporate sector’s and the Firm’s operating revenue and income tax expense have been restated to be similarly presented on a tax-equivalent basis. Previously, only the segments’ operating results were presented on a tax-equivalent basis, and the impact of the segments’ tax-equivalent adjustments was eliminated in the Corporate sector. This restatement had no impact on the Corporate sector’s or the Firm’s operating earnings.

Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures at the segment level. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance and trends of the particular business segment and facilitate a comparison of the business segment with the performance of competitors.

The following summary table provides a reconciliation from the Firm’s reported U.S. GAAP results to operating results:

The Firm is managed on a line-of-business basis. The business segment financial results presented reflect the current organization of JPMorgan Chase. There are six major reportable business segments: the Investment Bank, Retail Financial Services, Card Services, Commercial Banking, Treasury & Securities Services and Asset & Wealth Management, as well as a Corporate segment. The segments are based on the products and services provided, or the type of customer served, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Results of these lines of business are presented on an operating basis. For a further discussion of Business segment results, see pages 28–29 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

Segment results for periods prior to July 1, 2004, reflect heritage JPMorgan Chase–only results and have been restated to reflect the current business segment organization and reporting classifications. The following table summarizes the business segment results for the periods indicated:

Description of business segment reporting methodology
Results of the business segments are intended to reflect each segment as if it were essentially a stand-alone business. The management reporting process that derives these results allocates income and expense using market-based methodologies. At the time of the Merger, several of the allocation methodologies were revised, effective July 1, 2004. For a further discussion of those methodologies, see page 29 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. In addition, during the first quarter 2005, the Firm refined cost allocation methodologies related to certain corporate functions, technology and operations expense in order to provide better consistency in reporting across business segments. Prior periods have not been revised to reflect these new cost allocation methodologies. The Firm intends to continue to assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting reclassifications used for segment reporting, and it is anticipated that further refinements may be implemented in future periods.

For a discussion of the business profile of the IB, see pages 30–32 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

Operating earnings were $1.3 billion, an increase of $308 million, or 30%, from the prior year. Results were driven by the Merger, increased Investment banking fees, and an increased benefit from the Provision for credit losses, partially offset by lower Net interest income and higher compensation expense. Compared to the prior quarter, operating earnings doubled, primarily due to higher trading revenues.

Revenues of $4.2 billion were up $416 million, or 11%, compared to the prior year. Investment banking fees of $985 million increased by $295 million, or 43%, compared to the prior year, reflecting continued strong levels of debt underwriting, advisory and equity underwriting fees and the Merger. European investment banking fees were very strong, more than doubling from the prior year and up nearly 50% from the prior quarter. Fixed Income Markets revenues of $2.3 billion were up 9% from the prior

year, primarily driven by the Merger, and up 50% from the prior quarter on strength in trading revenues in credit and interest rate markets. Equity Markets revenues of $556 million were down 12% from the prior year reflecting reduced trading results, but increased significantly from the prior quarter. Credit Portfolio revenues of $350 million were up marginally from the prior year, reflecting the Merger and gains from loan workouts offset by lower loan balances and spreads.

The Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $366 million compared to a benefit of $188 million in the prior year. The increased benefit was primarily attributable to a greater reduction in the allowance for credit losses, reflecting improvement in credit quality as a result of the turnover in the mix of the loan portfolio towards higher-rated clients and net recoveries.

Expenses of $2.5 billion were up $199 million, or 9%, from the prior year, due to the Merger and increased compensation costs. The increase in compensation expense reflected higher incentive compensation accruals to recognize improved financial performance.

(e)		Adjusted assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, equals total average assets minus (1) securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed less securities sold, not yet purchased; (2) assets of variable interest entities (VIEs) consolidated under FIN 46R; (3) cash and securities segregated and on deposit for regulatory and other purposes; and (4) goodwill and intangibles. The amount of adjusted assets is presented to assist the reader in comparing the IB’s asset and capital levels to other investment banks in the securities industry. Asset-to-equity leverage ratios are commonly used as one measure to assess a company’s capital adequacy. The IB believes an adjusted asset amount, which excludes certain assets considered to have a low-risk profile, provides a more meaningful measure of balance sheet leverage in the securities industry. See Capital management on pages 35–37 of this Form 10–Q for a discussion of the Firm’s overall capital adequacy and capital management.

Operating earnings were $988 million, up $782 million from the prior year. The increase was largely due to the Merger, but also reflected improved risk management results in Home Finance, wider spreads on deposits, increased deposit balances, and lower expenses due to merger-related savings in all businesses. These improvements were partially offset by a reduction in revenue related to lower prime mortgage originations.

Total net revenue increased to $3.8 billion, up $2.2 billion from the prior year. Net interest income of $2.7 billion increased $1.5 billion as a result of the Merger, as well as from wider spreads on deposits, increased deposit balances, growth in retained home equity loans, and the absence of a $40 million charge taken in the first quarter of 2004 related to auto lease residuals. These benefits were partially offset by the absence of net interest revenue from the $4 billion manufactured home loan portfolio that was sold in late 2004. Noninterest revenue of $1.2 billion increased $728 million due to the Merger, improved Home Finance risk management results and a gain of $24 million on the sale of a recreational vehicle loan portfolio. These increases were offset partially by lower revenue related to a decline in prime mortgage originations and an $88 million write-down on $2.7 billion of auto loans transferred to held-for-sale.

The Provision for credit losses totaled $94 million, up $40 million from last year. The increase was largely due to the Merger. Both the prior year and current quarter included reductions in the allowance for loan losses due to improved credit trends in most consumer lending portfolios. Results also included the benefit of reductions in the allowance for loan losses totaling $20 million related to the sale of the recreational vehicle loan portfolio and the transfer of auto loans to held-for-sale. These benefits were partially offset by an increase in provision expense related to the decision to retain subprime mortgage loans rather than securitize.

Expenses rose to $2.2 billion, an increase of $921 million, primarily due to the Merger. Results also included continued investment in the retail banking distribution system and a $40 million charge related to the dissolution of a student loan joint venture in the Education Finance segment. These increases were more than offset by merger-related savings in all businesses.

Operating earnings were $442 million, up $221 million compared to the prior year. Operating earnings for the Prime Production & Servicing segment of $158 million were up $93 million from the prior year. Results benefited from an increase in risk management revenue associated with the MSR asset and secondary marketing activities, as well as lower expenses. Secondary marketing involves the sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market and risk management of this activity from the point of loan commitment to customers through loan closing and subsequent sale. These were partially offset by a decrease in revenue due to lower prime mortgage originations. Earnings for the Consumer Real Estate Lending segment of $284 million were up $128 million from the prior year. Growth was largely due to the Merger, but also reflected higher retained home equity loan balances and merger-related expense savings. These increases were partially offset by the absence of the $4 billion manufactured home loan portfolio that was sold in late 2004.

The table below reconciles management’s disclosure of Home Finance’s revenue to the reported U.S. GAAP line items shown on the Consolidated statements of income and in the related Notes to Consolidated financial statements:

The following table details the MSR risk management results in the Home Finance business:

Home Finance uses a combination of derivatives, AFS securities and trading securities to manage changes in the fair value of the MSR asset. These risk management activities are intended to protect the economic value of the MSR asset by providing offsetting changes in the fair value of the related risk management instruments. The type and amount of hedging instruments used in this risk management activity change over time as market conditions and risk management approaches dictate.

MSR valuation adjustments of $551 million were partially offset by $445 million of aggregate risk management losses, including net interest earned on securities. In 2004, negative MSR valuation adjustments of $625 million were more than offset by $686 million of aggregate risk management gains, including net interest earned on securities. Unrealized gains/(losses) on AFS securities were $(4) million and $(71) million at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For a further discussion of MSRs, see Note 14 on pages 69–71 of this Form 10–Q, and Critical accounting estimates on page 79, and Note 15 on pages 109–111 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

Operating earnings totaled $477 million, up $526 million from the prior year. While growth was largely due to the Merger, the results also benefited from wider spreads on deposits, increased deposit balances and merger-related expense savings. These benefits were partially offset by continued investment in the distribution network. Compared to the prior quarter, operating earnings increased $47 million, or 11%, primarily due to the seasonal impact of tax-refund anticipation lending.

Operating earnings of $55 million were up $25 million from last year. The current quarter results included a $78 million loss associated with auto loans transferred to held-for-sale, a $40 million charge related to the dissolution of the student loan joint venture, and a benefit of $34 million from the sale of a $2 billion recreational vehicle loan portfolio. The prior year results included a $40 million charge related to auto lease residuals. Excluding the after-tax impact of these four items, operating earnings would have increased $51 million over the prior year, primarily due to the Merger and improved credit quality. Results continued to reflect lower production volumes and narrower margins, due to the competitive nature of the operating environment.

For a discussion of the business profile of CS, see pages 39–40 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

JPMorgan Chase uses the concept of “managed receivables” to evaluate the credit performance of the underlying credit card loans, both sold and not sold. For further information, see Explanation and reconciliation of the Firm’s use of non-GAAP financial measures on page 10 of this Form 10-Q. Operating results exclude the impact of credit card securitizations on revenue, the provision for credit losses, net charge-offs and receivables. Securitization does not change reported net income versus operating earnings; however, it does affect the classification of items on the Consolidated statements of income.

Operating earnings of $522 million increased $360 million from the prior year due to the Merger, higher Net interest income, lower Provision for credit losses and lower expenses, partially offset by higher marketing spend.

Total revenues of $3.8 billion increased $2.2 billion, primarily due to the Merger. Net interest income of $3.0 billion increased $1.7 billion, primarily due to the Merger, including the acquisition of a private label portfolio, and higher loan balances. Noninterest revenue of $772 million increased $488 million due to the Merger and higher charge volume, which resulted in increased interchange income, partially offset by higher volume-driven payments to partners and higher rewards expense.

The managed Provision for credit losses of $1.6 billion increased $930 million, primarily due to the Merger, including the acquisition of a private label portfolio, and additions to the Allowance for loan losses related to growth in on-balance sheet loans, partially offset by lower net charge-offs. Managed credit ratios remained strong, benefiting from lower bankruptcies and a continued low level of delinquencies. The managed net charge-off rate for the quarter was 4.83%, down from 5.81% in the prior year. The 30-day managed delinquency rate was 3.54%, down from 4.41% in the prior year.

Expenses of $1.3 billion increased $714 million, primarily due to the Merger, including the acquisition of a private label portfolio. Merger saves, including lower compensation and processing costs, were partially offset by higher marketing spend.

Operating earnings were $243 million, an increase of $169 million from the prior year, primarily due to the Merger.

Revenues were $850 million, an increase of $528 million, primarily due to the Merger. In addition, Net interest income of $625 million was positively affected by higher liability balances and spreads, partially offset by margin compression on loans. Liability balances include deposits and deposits “swept” to on-balance sheet liabilities. Noninterest revenue of $225 million reflected lower fees in lieu of compensating balances and lower gains on the sale of assets acquired in the satisfaction of debt.

Provision for credit losses was a net benefit of $6 million for the quarter, compared to a net benefit of $13 million in the prior year. Net charge-offs for the quarter were $2 million.

Expenses increased $249 million to $458 million, primarily related to the Merger and higher allocations of Treasury Services product unit costs due to methodology changes.

(c)		Pre-tax margin represents operating earnings before income tax divided by total net revenue, which is a comprehensive measure of pre-tax performance and is another basis by which TSS management evaluates its performance and that of its competitors. Pre-tax margin is an effective measure of TSS’s earnings after all operating costs are taken into consideration.
(d)		TSS and TS firmwide overhead ratios have been calculated based on the firmwide revenues described in footnote (c) on page 29 of this Form 10–Q and TSS and TS expenses, respectively, including those allocated to certain other lines of business. Foreign Exchange (“FX”) revenues and expenses recorded in the IB for TSS-related FX activity are not included in this ratio.

Operating earnings for the quarter were $245 million, an increase of $147 million, primarily related to the Merger.

TSS net revenues of $1.5 billion were up $470 million, or 46%. Revenue growth reflected the benefit of the Merger, wider spreads on liability balances (which include deposits and deposits “swept” to on–balance sheet liabilities), improved product revenues, and growth in average liability balances and assets under custody. Net interest income grew to $496 million, up $253 million, as a result of the Merger, wider spreads on liability balances, and average liability balance growth of 49% to $155 billion. Growth in Noninterest revenue was driven largely by the Merger and an increase in assets under custody to $10.2 trillion. Beginning March 31, 2005, assets under custody include an estimated $400 billion of Institutional Trust Services’ assets under custody. Excluding this amount, assets under custody increased $1.8 trillion, or 22%, attributable to new business, increased volumes and market value appreciation. Also contributing to Noninterest revenue improvement was growth in commercial card products, securities lending, trade and trust products, including CDO administration. Partially offsetting these improvements were lower service charges on deposits.

Treasury Services net revenue grew to $618 million, Investor Services to $508 million and Institutional Trust Services to $356 million. TSS firmwide net revenue, which includes Treasury Services net revenue recorded in other lines of business, grew to $2.1 billion, up $841 million, or 67%, primarily as a result of the Merger. TS firmwide net revenue grew to $1.2 billion, up $632 million, or 104%, primarily as a result of the Merger.

Credit reimbursement to the Investment Bank was $38 million, up $36 million, principally due to the Merger and a Merger-related change in methodology. TSS is charged a credit reimbursement related to certain exposures managed within the Investment Bank credit portfolio on behalf of clients shared with TSS.

Noninterest expense of $1.1 billion was up $198 million, or 23%, due to the Merger, increased compensation and technology-related expenses. Offsetting these increases were lower allocations of Corporate segment expenses and higher product-unit costs charged to other lines of business, primarily Commercial Banking, due to segment reporting methodology changes.

Worldwide Securities Services
On April 18, 2005, TSS announced that it combined its investor and issuer services capabilities under the name Worldwide Securities Services. The integrated franchise brought together the former Investor Services and Institutional Trust Services businesses, and will provide custody and investor services as well as securities clearance and trust services to clients globally.

Operating earnings were $276 million, up $154 million from the prior year, primarily due to the Merger. In addition, performance was driven by increased revenue and decreased Provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher compensation expense.

Total revenue was $1.4 billion, up $513 million, primarily due to the Merger. In addition, fees and commissions increased due to the acquisition of a majority interest in Highbridge Capital Management in the fourth quarter of 2004; net asset inflows, primarily in brokerage and equities products; and global equity market appreciation. Net interest income increased due to higher deposit product balances.

The Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $7 million, an improvement of $17 million, primarily due to lower net charge-offs and the overall improvement in credit quality.

Expenses increased to $934 million, up $285 million, due to the Merger and increased compensation expense, primarily related to incentives and the acquisition of Highbridge.

Assets under supervision
Assets under supervision (“AUS”) at March 31, 2005, were $1.1 trillion, up 36% from the prior year, and Assets under management (“AUM”) were $790 billion, up 34% from the prior year. The increases were primarily the result of the Merger, as well as market appreciation, net asset inflows, primarily in equities products, and the acquisition of a majority interest in Highbridge Capital Management. The Firm also has a 43% interest in American Century Companies, Inc., whose AUM totaled $96 billion and $90 billion at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Custody, brokerage, administration, and deposits were $302 million, up 40%, primarily due to the Merger, as well as market appreciation and net inflows, primarily in brokerage.

Operating earnings were a loss of $687 million, down from earnings of $251 million in the prior year.

Net revenues of negative $759 million were down $1.2 billion from the prior year. Noninterest revenue of negative $82 million declined $543 million and included Treasury investment securities losses of $918 million and Private Equity gains of $789 million. The Treasury investment securities losses were the result of repositioning the investment portfolio to manage exposure to rising interest rates. Private Equity gains were $789 million, an increase of $493 million from the prior year. Net interest income was

negative $677 million, compared to negative $43 million in the prior year. The decline was driven primarily by actions and policies adopted in conjunction with the Merger.

Noninterest expenses were $435 million, up $233 million from the prior year, primarily due to the Merger, partially offset by merger related saves, expense efficiencies, and further refinements to certain cost allocation methodologies in order to provide better consistency in reporting across business segments.

On September 15, 2004, JPMorgan Chase and IBM announced the Firm’s plans to reintegrate the portions of its technology infrastructure – including data centers, help desks, distributed computing, data networks and voice networks – that were previously outsourced to IBM. In January 2005, approximately 3,100 employees and 800 contract employees were transferred to the Firm.

The carrying value of the Private Equity portfolio at March 31, 2005, was $7.2 billion, a decrease of $308 million from December 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily the result of sales of investments, consistent with management’s intention to reduce over time the capital committed to private equity.

Balance sheet overview
At March 31, 2005, the Firm’s total assets were $1.2 trillion, an increase of $21 billion, or 2%, from December 31, 2004. Growth was primarily in securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed, and in trading assets, partially offset by declines in derivative receivables and available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities.

At March 31, 2005, the Firm’s total liabilities were $1.1 trillion, an increase of $21 billion, or 2%, from December 31, 2004. Growth was primarily driven by U.S. interest-bearing deposits, trading liabilities, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and long-term debt and capital debt securities. This growth was partially offset by a decline in derivative payables.

Trading assets and liabilities – debt and equity instruments
The Firm’s debt and equity trading instruments consist primarily of fixed income securities (including government and corporate debt) and cash equity and convertible instruments used for both market-making and proprietary risk taking activities. The increase over December 31, 2004, was primarily due to growth in client-driven market-making activities across interest rate, credit and equity markets, as well as an increase in proprietary trading activities.

Trading assets and liabilities – derivative receivables and payables
The Firm uses various interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, credit and commodity derivatives for market-making, proprietary risk-taking and risk management purposes. The decline from year-end 2004 was primarily due to appreciation of the dollar. For additional information, refer to Credit risk management and Note 3 on pages 41–49 and 60, respectively, of this Form 10-Q.

Securities
The AFS portfolio declined by $19.3 billion from 2004 year-end, primarily as a result of securities sales that occurred during the month of March 2005. These sales were the result of a management decision to reposition the investment portfolio to manage exposure to rising interest rates. For additional information related to securities, refer to Note 8 on page 63 of this Form 10-Q.

Loans
Loans, net of allowance, were $395.7 billion at March 31, 2005, an increase of $940 million from the 2004 year-end. The increase during the first quarter of 2005 was primarily due to slight growth in the CS and wholesale portfolios and a reduction in the Allowance for loan losses; these were partially offset by RFS’s sale of its $2 billion recreational vehicle loan portfolio. For a more detailed discussion of the loan portfolio and the Allowance for loan losses, refer to Credit risk management on pages 41–49 of this Form 10-Q.

Goodwill and other intangible assets
The $433 million increase in Goodwill and other intangible assets from December 31, 2004 was primarily the result of an increase in goodwill related to the joint venture with Cazenove, and the positive impact on the MSR asset of risk management results and a decline in the related valuation allowance; partially offsetting these increases was the amortization of intangibles, primarily purchased credit card relationships and core deposit intangibles. For additional information, see Note 14 on pages 69–71 of this Form 10-Q.

Stockholders’ equity
Total stockholders’ equity decreased $313 million from year-end 2004, to $105.3 billion at March 31, 2005. Net income was more than offset by cash dividends and stock repurchases in the quarter. For a further discussion of capital, see Capital management on pages 35–37 of this Form 10-Q.

The following discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s Capital Management highlights developments since December 31, 2004, and should be read in conjunction with pages 50-52 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

The Firm’s capital management framework is intended to ensure that there is capital sufficient to support the underlying risks of the Firm’s business activities, measured by economic risk capital, and to maintain “well-capitalized” status under regulatory requirements. In addition, the Firm holds capital above these requirements in amounts deemed appropriate to achieve management’s debt rating objectives. The Firm’s capital framework is integrated into the process of assigning equity to the lines of business. The Firm may refine its methodology for assigning equity to the lines of business as the merger integration process continues.

Line of Business Equity
Equity for a line of business represents the amount the Firm believes the business would require if it were operating independently, incorporating sufficient capital to address economic risk measures, regulatory capital requirements, and capital levels for similarly rated peers. Return on equity is measured and internal targets for expected returns are established as a primary measure of a business segment’s performance.

For performance management purposes, the Firm does not allocate goodwill to the lines of business because it believes that the accounting-driven allocation of goodwill could distort assessment of relative returns. In management’s view, this approach fosters better comparison of returns among the lines of business, as well as a better comparison of a line of business’ returns with external peers. The Firm assigns an amount of equity capital equal to the then current book value of the Firm’s goodwill to the Corporate segment. The return on invested capital related to the Firm’s goodwill assets is managed within the Corporate segment. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Firm allocates goodwill to the lines of business based on the underlying fair values of the businesses and then performs the required impairment testing. For a further discussion of goodwill and impairment testing, see Note 14 on pages 69–71 of this Form 10-Q, and Critical accounting estimates on page 79 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

The current methodology used to assign line of business equity is not comparable to equity assigned to the lines of business prior to July 1, 2004. The increase in average common equity in the table below from 2004 was primarily attributable to the Merger.

Economic Risk Capital
JPMorgan Chase assesses its capital adequacy relative to the underlying risks of the Firm’s business activities utilizing internal risk-assessment methodologies. The Firm assigns economic capital based primarily on five risk factors: credit risk, market risk, operational risk and business risk for each business; and private equity risk, principally for the Firm’s private equity business.

Regulatory Capital
The Firm’s federal banking regulator, the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), establishes capital requirements, including well-capitalized standards for the consolidated financial holding company. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) establishes similar capital requirements and standards for the Firm’s national banks, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”) and Chase Bank USA, National Association.

On March 1, 2005, the FRB issued a final rule that continues the inclusion of trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, subject to stricter quantitative limits. The rule provides for a five-year transition period. The Firm continues to assess the impact of the final rule, which became effective on April 11, 2005.

On July 20, 2004, the federal banking regulatory agencies issued a final rule that excludes assets of asset-backed commercial paper programs that are consolidated as a result of FIN 46R from risk-weighted assets for purposes of computing Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital ratios. The final rule also requires that capital be held against short-term liquidity facilities supporting asset-backed commercial paper programs. The final rule became effective September 30, 2004. Adoption of the rule did not have a material effect on the capital ratios of the Firm. In addition, under the final rule, both short- and long-term liquidity facilities will be subject to certain asset quality tests effective September 30, 2005.

The following tables show that JPMorgan Chase maintained a well-capitalized position based on Tier 1 and Total capital ratios at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Tier 1 capital was $69.4 billion at March 31, 2005, compared with $68.6 billion at December 31, 2004, an increase of $814 million. The increase was primarily due to net income of $2.3 billion and $1.0 billion of additional qualifying trust preferred securities; these were partially offset by dividends paid of $1.2 billion and common share repurchases of $1.3 billion.

Dividends
The Firm’s common stock dividend policy reflects its earnings outlook, desired payout ratios, the need to maintain an adequate capital level and alternative investment opportunities. In the first quarter of 2005, JPMorgan Chase declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.34 per share, payable April 30, 2005 to stockholders of record at the close of business April 6, 2005. The Firm has targeted a common stock dividend payout ratio of approximately 30%-40% of the Firm’s operating earnings over time.

Stock repurchases
On July 20, 2004, the Board of Directors approved an initial stock repurchase program in the aggregate amount of $6.0 billion. This amount includes shares to be repurchased to offset issuances under the Firm’s employee stock-based plans. The actual amount of shares repurchased will be subject to various factors, including market conditions; legal considerations affecting the amount and timing of repurchase activity; the Firm’s capital position (taking into account goodwill and intangibles); internal capital generation; and alternative potential investment opportunities. During the first quarter of 2005, under the stock repurchase program, the Firm repurchased 36 million shares for $1.3 billion at an average price per share of $36.57. The Firm did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2004. For additional information regarding repurchases of the Firm’s equity securities, see Part II, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds, on page 82 of this Form 10-Q.

Special-purpose entities
JPMorgan Chase is involved with several types of off-balance sheet arrangements including special purpose entities (“SPEs”), lines of credit and loan commitments. The principal uses of SPEs are to obtain sources of liquidity for JPMorgan Chase and its clients by securitizing their financial assets, and to create investment products for clients. These arrangements are an important part of the financial markets, providing market liquidity by facilitating investors’ access to specific portfolios of assets and risks.

JPMorgan Chase is involved with SPEs in three broad categories of transactions: loan securitizations, multi-seller conduits and client intermediation. Capital is held, as appropriate, against all SPE-related transactions and related exposures, such as derivative transactions and lending-related commitments. For a further discussion of SPEs and the Firm’s accounting for them, see Note 12 on pages 65–68 and Note 13 on pages 68–69 of this Form 10–Q, and Off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual cash obligations on pages 52–53, Note 1 on page 88, Note 13 on pages 103–106 and Note 14 on pages 106–109 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

For certain liquidity commitments to SPEs, the Firm could be required to provide funding if the credit rating of JPMorgan Chase Bank were downgraded below specific levels, primarily P-1, A-1 and F1 for Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, respectively. The amount of these liquidity commitments was $77.5 billion and $79.4 billion at March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. Alternatively, if JPMorgan Chase Bank were downgraded, the Firm could be replaced by another liquidity provider in lieu of funding under the liquidity commitment, or, in certain circumstances, could facilitate the sale or refinancing of the assets in the SPE in order to provide liquidity.

Of the $77.5 billion of liquidity commitments at March 31, 2005, $49.1 billion was included in the Firm’s total other unfunded commitments to extend credit, included in the table below. Of the $79.4 billion of liquidity commitments at December 31, 2004, $47.7 billion was included in the Firm’s total other unfunded commitments to extend credit. As a result of the Firm’s consolidation of multi-seller conduits in accordance with FIN 46R, $28.4 billion of the March 31, 2005 commitments were excluded from the table, as the underlying assets of the SPEs have been included on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets; this compares with $31.7 billion of commitments that were excluded at December 31, 2004.

The following table summarizes certain revenue information related to variable interest entities (“VIEs”) with which the Firm has significant involvement, and qualifying SPEs (“QSPEs”). For a further discussion of VIEs and QSPEs, see Note 1 on page 88 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

The revenue reported in the table above primarily represents servicing and custodial fee income. The Firm also has exposure to certain SPEs arising from derivative transactions; these transactions are recorded at fair value on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value (i.e., mark-to-market (“MTM”) gains and losses) recorded in Trading revenue. Such MTM gains and losses are not included in the revenue amounts reported in the table above.

Risk is an inherent part of JPMorgan Chase’s business activities. The Firm’s risk management framework and governance structure is intended to provide comprehensive controls and ongoing management of its major risks. In addition, this framework recognizes the diversity among the Firm’s core businesses, which helps reduce the impact of volatility in any particular area on the Firm’s operating results as a whole. There are seven major risk types identified in the business activities of the Firm: liquidity risk, credit risk, market risk, operational risk, legal and reputation risk, fiduciary risk and principal risk.

For a further discussion of these risks see pages 54–76 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

The following discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s liquidity management framework highlights developments since December 31, 2004, and should be read in conjunction with pages 55–56 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. Through active liquidity management, the Firm seeks to preserve stable, reliable and cost-effective sources of funding. Management uses a variety of liquidity risk measures that take into consideration market conditions, prevailing interest rates, liquidity needs and the desired maturity profile of liabilities.

Sources of funds
The diversity of the Firm’s funding sources enhances financial flexibility and limits dependence on any one source, thereby minimizing the cost of funds. A major source of liquidity for JPMorgan Chase Bank is provided by its large core deposit base. Core deposits include all U.S. deposits insured by the FDIC, up to the legal limit of $100,000 per depositor. In the first quarter of 2005, core bank deposits remained at approximately the same level as year-end.

Additional funding flexibility is provided by the Firm’s ability to access the repurchase and asset securitization markets. At March 31, 2005, $76.5 billion of securities were available for repurchase agreements, and $36.9 billion of credit card, automobile and mortgage loans were available for securitizations. These alternatives are evaluated on an ongoing basis to achieve an appropriate balance of secured and unsecured funding. The ability to securitize loans, and the associated gains on those securitizations, are principally dependent on the credit quality and yields of the assets securitized, and are generally not dependent on the credit ratings of the issuing entity. Transactions between the Firm and its securitization structures are reflected in JPMorgan Chase’s consolidated financial statements; these relationships include retained interests in securitization trusts, liquidity facilities and derivative transactions. For further details, see Notes 12 and 13 on pages 65–68 and 68–69, respectively, of this Form 10–Q.

The Firm is an active participant in the global financial markets. These markets serve as a cost-effective source of funds and are a critical component of the Firm’s liquidity management. Decisions concerning the timing and tenor of accessing these markets are based on relative costs, general market conditions, prospective views of balance sheet growth and a targeted liquidity profile.

Issuance
Corporate credit spreads narrowed to historically tight levels in the first two months of 2005 providing JPMorgan Chase with global access to funding and capital at highly competitive levels. The Firm further diversified its funding across the global markets, while reducing costs and lengthening maturities. Corporate market conditions deteriorated somewhat in March, erasing early 2005 gains; however, funding costs still remain attractive on a historical basis.

During the first quarter of 2005, JPMorgan Chase issued approximately $15.8 billion of long-term debt and capital securities. These issuances were partially offset by $9.9 billion of long-term debt and capital securities that matured or were redeemed. In addition, during the first quarter of 2005 the Firm securitized approximately $3.6 billion of residential mortgage loans and $425 million of credit card loans, resulting in pre-tax gains on securitizations of $10 million and $2 million, respectively. The Firm did not securitize any automobile loans during the first quarter of 2005. For a further discussion of loan securitizations, see Note 12 on pages 65–68 of this Form 10–Q.

Credit ratings
The credit ratings of JPMorgan Chase’s parent holding company and each of its significant banking subsidiaries were, as of March 31, 2005, as follows:

The Firm’s principal insurance subsidiaries had the following financial strength ratings as of March 31, 2005:

The cost and availability of unsecured financing are influenced by credit ratings. A reduction in these ratings could adversely affect the Firm’s access to liquidity sources, increase the cost of funds, trigger additional collateral requirements and decrease the number of investors and counterparties willing to lend. Critical factors in maintaining high credit ratings include a stable and diverse earnings stream, strong capital ratios, strong credit quality and risk management controls, diverse funding sources and strong liquidity monitoring procedures.

If the Firm’s ratings were downgraded by one notch, the Firm estimates the incremental cost of funds and the potential loss of funding to be negligible. Additionally, the Firm estimates the additional funding requirements for VIEs and other third-party commitments would not be material. In the current environment, the Firm believes a downgrade is unlikely. For additional information on the impact of a credit ratings downgrade on the funding requirements for VIEs, and on derivatives and collateral agreements, see Off–balance Sheet Arrangements on pages 38–39 and Ratings profile of derivative receivables mark-to-market (“MTM”) on page 45 of this Form 10–Q.

The following discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s credit portfolio as of March 31, 2005, highlights developments since December 31, 2004, and should be read in conjunction with pages 57–69, page 77 and Notes 11, 12, 27 and 28 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

The Firm assesses its consumer credit exposure on a managed basis, which includes credit card securitizations. For a reconciliation of the Provision for credit losses on a reported basis to operating, or managed, basis, see pages 10–12 of this Form 10–Q.

The following table presents JPMorgan Chase’s credit portfolio as of March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004. Total wholesale credit exposure was essentially unchanged from December 31, 2004, to March 31, 2005, while total consumer credit exposure increased by $8.5 billion from year-end 2004.

It is expected that the provision for credit losses for the wholesale business will return to a more normal level over time. Factors that could affect the level of charge-offs and nonperforming loans in the wholesale portfolios include, among others, a deterioration in the global economy, interest rate movements, changes in the U.S. and international debt and equity markets, and portfolio mix. While consumer credit quality is currently anticipated to remain relatively stable over the remainder of the year, significant deterioration in the U.S. economy could materially change this expectation. Factors that could affect the level of charge-offs and nonperforming loans in the RFS and CS portfolios include, among others, changes in consumer behavior, bankruptcy trends, portfolio seasoning, interest rate movements and portfolio mix.

Wholesale exposure remained flat from December 31, 2004. Increases in lending-related commitments and loans of $7 billion and $2 billion, respectively, were offset by reductions in derivative receivables and interests in purchased receivables of $6 billion and $3 billion, respectively. The increase in lending-related commitments was primarily from the IB and Commercial Banking activities, and the decrease in derivative receivables was primarily due to appreciation of the dollar. Below are summaries of the maturity and ratings profiles of the wholesale portfolio as of March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004. The ratings scale is based on the Firm’s internal risk ratings and is presented on an S&P-equivalent basis.

As of March 31, 2005, the wholesale exposure ratings profile remained relatively stable compared with December 31, 2004.

Wholesale credit exposure – selected industry concentration
The Firm continues to focus on management of its industry concentrations, with particular attention paid to industries with actual or potential credit concerns. As of March 31, 2005, Oil & Gas replaced Media among the Top 10 industries as a result of a $1.4 billion increase in exposure to Oil & Gas and a $1.2 billion decrease in Media exposure. There were no other material changes in industry concentrations during the first quarter of 2005. See pagev 61 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report for the Top 10 industries as of December 31, 2004.

Wholesale criticized exposure
Exposures deemed criticized generally represent a ratings profile similar to a rating of CCC+/Caa1 and lower, as defined by Standard & Poor’s/Moody’s. The criticized component of the portfolio decreased to $6.4 billion at March 31, 2005, from $8.3 billion at year-end 2004. The portfolio continued to experience improvement due to client upgrades as a result of improved financial performance, refinancings and gross charge-offs. In addition, during the first quarter of 2005, the Firm conformed its methodology for reporting criticized exposure as a result of the Merger and further systems integration. This resulted in a decrease of $1.2 billion. Excluding this change, criticized exposure would have been $7.6 billion at March 31, 2005.

Wholesale nonperforming assets (excluding purchased held-for-sale wholesale loans) decreased by $248 million from $1.8 billion at December 31, 2004, to $1.6 billion at March 31, 2005, as a result of loan sales, repayments and gross charge-offs taken. Wholesale net recoveries of $9 million were an improvement over $89 million of net charge-offs in the prior year, the result of lower gross charge-offs. The wholesale net recovery rate was 0.03% for the first quarter of 2005, compared with a net charge-off rate of 0.50% in the prior year.

Derivative contracts
In the normal course of business, the Firm uses derivative instruments to meet the needs of customers, to generate revenues through trading activities, to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, currencies and other markets and to manage the Firm’s credit exposure. For a further discussion of derivative contracts, see Note 18 on page 72 of this Form 10–Q, and pages 62–65 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

The following table summarizes the aggregate notional amounts and the reported derivative receivables (i.e., the MTM or fair value of the derivative contracts after taking into account the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements) at each of the dates indicated:

The $41 trillion of notional principal of the Firm’s derivative contracts outstanding at March 31, 2005, significantly exceeded, in the Firm’s view, the possible credit losses that could arise from such transactions. For most derivative transactions, the notional principal amount does not change hands; it is simply used as a reference to calculate payments. The appropriate measure of current credit risk is, in the Firm’s view, the MTM value of the contract, which represents the cost to replace the contracts at current market rates should the counterparty default. When JPMorgan Chase has more than one transaction outstanding with a counterparty, and a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists with that counterparty, the netted MTM exposure, less collateral held, represents, in the Firm’s view, the appropriate measure of current credit risk. At March 31, 2005, the MTM value of derivative receivables (after taking into account the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and the impact of net cash received under credit support annexes to such legally enforceable master netting agreements) was $60 billion. Further, after taking into account $7 billion of other highly liquid collateral held by the Firm, the net current MTM credit exposure was $53 billion.

The following table summarizes the ratings profile of the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheet Derivative receivables MTM, net of cash and other highly liquid collateral, for the dates indicated:

The Firm actively pursues the use of collateral agreements to mitigate counterparty credit risk in derivatives. The percentage of the Firm’s derivatives transactions subject to collateral agreements decreased slightly, to 77% as of March 31, 2005, from 79% at December 31, 2004. The Firm held $36 billion of collateral as of March 31, 2005 (including $29 billion of net cash received under credit support annexes to legally enforceable master netting agreements), compared with $41 billion as of December 31, 2004 (including $32 billion of net cash received under credit support annexes to legally enforceable master netting agreements). The Firm posted $27 billion of collateral as of March 31, 2005, compared with $31 billion at the end of 2004.

Certain derivative and collateral agreements include provisions that require the counterparty and/or the Firm, upon specified downgrades in their respective credit ratings, to post collateral for the benefit of the other party. As of March 31, 2005, the impact of a single-notch ratings downgrade to JPMorgan Chase Bank, from its current rating of AA- to A+, would have been an additional $1.4 billion of collateral posted by the Firm; the impact of a six-notch ratings downgrade (from AA- to BBB-) would have been $3.6 billion of additional collateral. Certain derivative contracts also provide for termination of the contract, generally upon a downgrade of either the Firm or the counterparty, at the then-existing MTM value of the derivative contracts.

Use of credit derivatives
The following table presents the Firm’s notional amounts of credit derivatives protection bought and sold by the respective businesses as of March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004:

JPMorgan Chase has limited counterparty exposure as a result of its credit derivatives transactions. Of the $60 billion of total Derivative receivables at March 31, 2005, approximately $3 billion, or 5%, was associated with credit derivatives, before the benefit of highly liquid collateral. The use of credit derivatives to manage exposures by the Credit Portfolio Group does not reduce the reported level of assets on the balance sheet or the level of reported off–balance sheet commitments.

Credit portfolio management activity
In managing its wholesale credit exposure, the Firm purchases single-name and portfolio credit derivatives. As of March 31, 2005, the notional outstanding amount of protection bought via single-name and portfolio credit derivatives was $33 billion and $1 billion, respectively. The Firm also diversifies its exposures by providing (i.e., selling) credit protection, which increases exposure to industries or clients where the Firm has little or no client-related exposure. This activity is not material to the Firm’s overall credit exposure.

The credit derivatives used by JPMorgan Chase for its portfolio management activities do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133 and, therefore, effectiveness testing under SFAS 133 is not performed. These derivatives are reported at fair value, with gains and losses recognized as Trading revenue. The MTM value incorporates both the cost of credit derivative premiums and changes in value due to movement in spreads and credit events; in contrast, the loans and lending-related commitments being risk-managed are accounted for on an accrual basis. Loan interest and fees are generally recognized in Net interest income, and impairment is recognized in the Provision for credit losses. This asymmetry in accounting treatment, between loans and lending-related commitments and the credit derivatives utilized in portfolio management activities, causes earnings volatility that is not representative, in the Firm’s view, of the true changes in value of the Firm’s overall credit exposure. The MTM treatment of both the Firm’s credit derivatives used for managing credit exposure (“short” credit positions) and the Credit Valuation Adjustment (“CVA”), which reflects the credit quality of derivatives counterparty exposure (“long” credit positions), generally provides some natural offset.

Portfolio management activity in the first quarter of 2005 resulted in a gain of $54 million included in Trading revenue. This activity included $35 million of gains as a result of wider credit spreads on derivatives used to manage the Firm’s risk associated with accrual lending activities. The remaining $19 million of gains were driven by positive adjustments to the MTM value of the CVA. While credit spreads also widened in the overall derivatives portfolio, the impact was smaller due to the higher quality of the credit exposures. In addition, losses from spread widening were more than offset by lower expected losses due to the passage of time.

Portfolio management activity in the first quarter of 2004 resulted in a gain of $58 million included in Trading revenue. These gains included $21 million, the majority of which was the result of wider high yield credit spreads, on credit derivatives used to manage the Firm’s risk associated with accrual lending activities. The remaining $37 million of gains were driven by positive adjustments to the MTM value of the CVA. While credit spreads also widened in the overall derivatives portfolio, the impact was smaller due to the higher quality of the credit exposures. In addition, losses from spread widening were more than offset by lower expected losses due to the passage of time.

The Firm also actively manages its wholesale credit exposure through loan and commitment sales. During the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, the Firm sold $944 million and $1.8 billion of loans and commitments, respectively, in connection with the management of its wholesale credit exposure, resulting in gains of $11 million and losses of $6 million, respectively. These activities are not related to the Firm’s securitization activities, which are undertaken for liquidity and balance sheet management purposes. For a further discussion of securitization activity, see Note 12 on pages 65–68 of this Form 10–Q.

Dealer/client activity
As of March 31, 2005, the total notional amounts of protection purchased and sold by the dealer business were $624 billion and $675 billion, respectively. The mismatch between these notional amounts is attributable to the Firm selling protection on large, diversified, predominantly investment-grade portfolios (including the most senior tranches) and then risk managing these positions by buying protection on the more subordinated tranches of the same portfolios. In addition, the Firm may use securities to risk manage certain derivative positions. Consequently, while there is a mismatch in notional amounts of credit derivatives, in the Firm’s view, the risk positions are largely matched.

Lending-related commitments
The contractual amount of wholesale lending-related commitments was $316 billion at March 31, 2005, compared with $309 billion at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to activity in the IB and Commercial Banking. In the Firm’s view, the total contractual amount of these instruments is not representative of the Firm’s actual credit risk exposure or funding requirements. In determining the amount of credit risk exposure the Firm has to wholesale lending-related commitments, which is used as the basis for allocating credit risk capital to these instruments, the Firm has established a “loan-equivalent” amount for each commitment; this represents the portion of the unused commitment or other contingent exposure that is expected, based on average portfolio historical experience, to become outstanding in the event of a default by an obligor. The amount of the loan equivalents as of March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, was $161 billion and $162 billion, respectively.

Country exposure
The Firm has a comprehensive process for measuring and managing its exposures and risk in emerging markets countries – defined as those countries potentially vulnerable to sovereign events. Exposures to a country include all credit-related lending, trading and investment activities, whether cross-border or locally funded. Exposure amounts are adjusted for credit enhancements (e.g., guarantees and letters of credit) provided by third parties located outside the country, if the enhancements fully cover the country risk as well as the business risk. As of March 31, 2005, the Firm’s exposure to any individual emerging markets country was not material.

Total managed consumer loans as of March 31, 2005, were $333 billion, down from $338 billion at year-end 2004, reflecting the sale of the $2 billion recreational vehicle loan portfolio, and the seasonal pattern of credit card receivables. Consumer lending-related commitments increased by 2% to $615 billion at March 31, 2005, reflecting an increase in home equity and credit card commitments and a decrease in consumer & small business commitments. The following discussion relates to the specific loan and lending-related categories within the consumer portfolio:

Retail Financial Services
Loan balances for Retail Financial Services were $199.2 billion at March 31, 2005, down $3.3 billion, or 2%, from December 31, 2004. The decrease was driven primarily by the sale of a $2 billion recreational vehicle loan portfolio in the first quarter of 2005. The net charge-off rate was 0.34%, an increase of two basis points from the first quarter of 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to the Merger and the sale of the recreational vehicle loan portfolio, offset by improved credit trends in most consumer lending portfolios.

The Firm proactively manages its retail credit operation. Ongoing efforts include continual review and enhancement of credit underwriting criteria and refinement of pricing and risk management models.

Home Finance: Home Finance loans were $124 billion as of March 31, 2005, substantially unchanged from December 31, 2004. The loan balances comprised $69 billion of home equity and other loans and $55 billion of mortgages, including mortgage loans held for sale. Lower warehouse mortgage loan balances, driven by lower prime mortgage originations, were offset by higher retained balances in Home Equity and Mortgage Loans. Loan balances were also affected by the decision to retain, rather than

securitize, subprime mortgage loans, which caused subprime mortgage loans to increase from $7 billion at December 31, 2004, to $9 billion at March 31, 2005. Home Finance provides real estate lending to the full spectrum of credit borrowers and maintains a geographic distribution of consumer real estate loans that is well diversified.

Auto & Education Finance: Loan balances in Auto & Education Finance decreased to $60 billion at March 31, 2005, down $3 billion from $63 billion at year-end 2004. The decrease was attributable to the sale of a $2 billion recreational vehicle loan portfolio in the first quarter of 2005 and to a decline in the vehicle lease outstandings from $8 billion to $7 billion. During 2004, the Firm completed a strategic review of all consumer lending portfolio segments, which resulted in the Firm choosing to de-emphasize vehicle leasing. It is anticipated that, over time, vehicle leases will account for a smaller share of loan balances and exposure. This strategic review also resulted in the aforementioned sale of the $2 billion recreational vehicle portfolio in the first quarter of 2005. The remaining Auto & education loan portfolio reflects a high concentration of prime-quality credits.

Consumer & small business and other: As of March 31, 2005, Small business & other consumer loans remained flat, with 2004 year-end levels of $15 billion. This portfolio segment is primarily composed of loans to small businesses, which consists of highly collateralized loans, often with personal loan guarantees.

Card Services
JPMorgan Chase analyzes its credit card portfolio on a managed basis, which includes credit card receivables on the consolidated balance sheet and those receivables sold to investors through securitization. Managed credit card receivables were $133 billion at March 31, 2005, a decrease of $2 billion from year-end 2004, reflecting the normal seasonal pattern.

Consumer credit quality trends continue to improve overall, benefiting from lower bankruptcies and a continued low level of delinquencies as reflected in the decrease in the managed credit card net charge-off rate to 4.83% in the first quarter of 2005 from 5.81% in the first quarter of 2004. Management continues its emphasis on credit risk management, including disciplined underwriting and account management practices targeted to the prime and super-prime credit sectors. Credit Risk Management tools used to manage the level and volatility of losses for credit card accounts have been continually updated, and, where appropriate, these tools were adjusted with the goal of reducing credit risk. The managed credit card portfolio continues to reflect a well-seasoned portfolio that has good U.S. geographic diversification.

The Firm plans to begin implementing new minimum-payment rules in the Card Services business during the third quarter of 2005 that will result in higher required payments from some customers. It is anticipated that this may increase delinquency and net charge-off rates in 2006. The magnitude of the impact is currently being assessed. The Firm expects the level of bankruptcy filings to accelerate prior to the October effective date of the bankruptcy legislation signed into law on April 20, 2005. Bankruptcy filings subsequent to the October effective date are expected to normalize.

(d)

Includes $144 million of asset-specific loss and $344 million of formula-based loss. The formula-based loss for lending-related commitments is based on statistical calculation. There is no adjustment to the statistical calculation for lending-related commitments.

Overall: The Allowances for loan losses and lending-related commitments (collectively referred to as the allowance for credit losses) each have two components: asset-specific and formula-based. See Note 12 on pages 102–103 of the JPMorgan Chase 2004 Annual Report for a further discussion. The increase in the allowance for credit losses from March 31, 2004, was primarily driven by the Merger. The reduction in the allowance for credit losses of $385 million from December 31, 2004, to March 31, 2005, was primarily driven by improving credit quality in the wholesale business.

Loans: Excluding HFS loans, the Allowance for loan losses represented 1.83% of loans at March 31, 2005, compared with 1.94% at year-end 2004. The wholesale component of the Allowance was $2.7 billion as of March 31, 2005, a decrease from year-end 2004, reflecting improvement in IB’s credit quality as a result of turnover in the mix of the loan portfolio towards higher rated clients. The consumer component of the allowance was $4.2 billion as of March 31, 2005, and remained essentially unchanged from December 31, 2004.

Lending-related commitments: This allowance is reported in Other liabilities and was $488 million at March 31, 2005, compared with $492 million at December 31, 2004, again reflecting improved credit quality in the wholesale business.

Provision for credit losses
For a discussion of the reported Provision for credit losses, see page 9 of this Form 10–Q. The managed provision for credit losses, which reflects credit card securitizations, increased primarily due to the Merger.

Value-at-risk
JPMorgan Chase’s statistical risk measure, VAR, gauges the potential loss from adverse market moves in an ordinary market environment and provides a consistent cross-business measure of risk profiles and levels of risk diversification. VAR is used to compare risks across businesses, to monitor limits and to allocate economic capital to the business segments. VAR provides risk transparency in a normal trading environment. Each business day the Firm undertakes a comprehensive VAR calculation that includes both its trading and its nontrading activities. VAR for nontrading activities measures the amount of potential change in economic value. The Firm calculates VAR using a one-day time horizon and a 99% confidence level. This means the Firm would expect to incur losses greater than that predicted by VAR estimates only once in every 100 trading days, or about 2.5 times a year. For a further discussion of the Firm’s VAR methodology, see pages 71–73 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

The largest contributor to the IB trading VAR in the first quarter of 2005 was fixed income risk. Before portfolio diversification, fixed income risk accounted for roughly 53% of the average IB Trading Portfolio VAR. The diversification effect, which on average reduced the daily average IB Trading Portfolio VAR by $43.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, reflects the fact that the largest losses for different positions and risks do not typically occur at the same time. The risk of a portfolio of positions is therefore usually less than the sum of the risks of the positions themselves. The degree of diversification is determined both by the extent to which different market variables tend to move together and by the extent to which different businesses have similar positions.

Average IB trading and Credit Portfolio VAR during the first quarter of 2005 declined to $70.0 million, compared with $101.6 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease was driven by a decline in fixed income and equities VAR, primarily due to decreased risk positions and reduced correlation between lines of business. Period-end VAR increased slightly over March 31, 2004 to $79.8 million from $77.1 million. In general, over the course of a year, VAR exposures can vary significantly as trading positions change and market volatility fluctuates.

VAR backtesting
To evaluate the soundness of its VAR model, the Firm conducts daily backtesting of VAR against actual financial results, based on daily market risk–related revenue. Market risk–related revenue is defined as the daily change in value of the mark-to-market trading portfolios plus any trading-related net interest income, brokerage commissions, underwriting fees or other revenue. The Firm’s definition of market risk–related revenue is consistent with the FRB’s implementation of the Basel Committee’s market risk capital rules. The accompanying histogram illustrates the daily market risk–related gains and losses for the IB trading businesses for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The chart shows that the IB posted market risk–related gains on 61 out of 64 days in this period, with four days exceeding $100 million. The inset graph looks at those days on which the IB experienced losses and depicts the amount by which VAR exceeded the actual loss on each of those days. Losses were sustained on three days, with no loss greater than $20 million, and with no loss exceeding the VAR measure.

Economic value stress testing
While VAR reflects the risk of loss due to unlikely events in normal markets, stress testing captures the Firm’s exposure to unlikely but plausible events in abnormal markets. Stress testing is equally as important as VAR in measuring and controlling risk. Stress testing enhances the understanding of the Firm’s risk profile and loss potential and is used for monitoring limits, cross-business risk measurement and economic capital allocation. Economic-value stress tests measure the potential change in the value of the Firm’s portfolios. Applying economic-value stress tests helps the Firm understand how the economic value of its balance sheet (i.e., not the amounts reported under U.S. GAAP) would change under certain scenarios. The Firm conducts economic-value stress tests monthly for both its trading and its nontrading activities, using multiple scenarios, as well as the same scenarios for both types of activities. Scenarios are continually reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the Firm’s risk profile and economic events.

Based on the Firm’s stress scenarios, the stress-test loss (pre-tax) in the IB’s trading portfolio ranged from $469 million to $745 million, and from $543 million to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The 2005 results reflect the combined Firm’s results, while 2004 reflects the results of heritage JPMorgan Chase only. In addition, the 2004 amounts have been revised to reflect the reclassification of hedge fund investments, reclassification of Treasury positions to portfolios outside the IB, and the inclusion of available-for-sale securities held for the IB’s proprietary purposes.

For a further discussion of the Firm’s stress-testing methodology, see page 73 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

Earnings-at-risk stress testing
The VAR and stress-test measures described above illustrate the total economic sensitivity of the Firm’s balance sheet to changes in market variables. The effect of interest rate exposure on reported Net income is also critical. Interest rate risk exposure in the Firm’s core nontrading business activities (i.e., asset/liability management positions) results from on- and off–balance sheet positions. The Firm conducts simulations of NII for its nontrading activities under a variety of interest rate scenarios, which are consistent with the scenarios used for economic-value stress testing. Earnings-at-risk tests measure the potential change in the Firm’s Net interest income over the next 12 months. These tests highlight exposures to various rate-sensitive factors, such as the rates themselves (e.g., the prime lending rate), pricing strategies on deposits, optionality and changes in product mix. The tests included forecasted balance sheet changes, such as asset sales and securitizations, as well as prepayment and reinvestment behavior.

JPMorgan Chase’s 12-month pre-tax earnings sensitivity profile as of March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004 were as follows:

The Firm is exposed to both rising and falling rates. The Firm’s risk to rising rates is largely the result of increased funding costs. In contrast, the exposure to falling rates is the result of potential compression of deposit spreads, coupled with higher anticipated levels of loan prepayments. The Firm’s risk to rising rates has declined due to portfolio repositioning.

Immediate changes in interest rates present a limited view of risk, and so a number of alternative scenarios are also reviewed. These scenarios include the implied forward curve, nonparallel rate shifts and severe interest rate shocks on selected key rates. These scenarios are intended to provide a comprehensive view of JPMorgan Chase’s earnings-at-risk over a wide range of outcomes.

Earnings-at-risk can also result from changes in the slope of the yield curve, because the Firm has the ability to lend at fixed rates and borrow at variable or short-term fixed rates. Based on these scenarios, the Firm’s earnings would be negatively affected by a sudden and unanticipated increase in short-term rates without a corresponding increase in long-term rates. Conversely, higher long-term rates are generally beneficial to earnings, particularly when the increase is not accompanied by rising short-term rates.

Dividends
JPMorgan Chase’s bank subsidiaries could pay dividends to their respective bank holding companies, without the approval of their relevant banking regulators, in amounts up to the limitations imposed upon such banks by regulatory restrictions. These limitations, in the aggregate, totaled approximately $7.5 billion at March 31, 2005.

JPMorgan Chase’s accounting policies and use of estimates are integral to understanding its reported results. The Firm’s most complex accounting estimates require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets and liabilities. The Firm has established detailed policies and control procedures intended to ensure that valuation methods, including any judgments made as part of such methods, are well controlled, independently reviewed and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The Firm believes its estimates for determining the valuation of its assets and liabilities are appropriate. For further description of the Firm’s critical accounting estimates involving significant management valuation judgments, see pages 77–79 and the Notes to consolidated financial statements in JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

Allowance for credit losses
JPMorgan Chase’s allowance for credit losses covers the wholesale and consumer loan portfolios as well as the Firm’s portfolio of wholesale lending-related commitments. The Allowance for loan losses is intended to adjust the value of the Firm’s loan assets for probable credit losses as of the balance sheet date. For a further discussion of the methodologies used in establishing the Firm’s Allowance for credit losses, see Note 12 on pages 102–103 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. The methodology for calculating the Allowance for loan losses and allowance for lending-related commitments involves significant judgment. For a further description of these judgments, see the JPMorgan Chase 2004 Annual Report; for amounts recorded as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, see Allowance for credit losses on pages 48-49, and Note 11 on page 65 of this Form 10-Q.

Fair value of financial instruments
A portion of JPMorgan Chase’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, including trading assets and liabilities, AFS securities and private equity investments. Held-for-sale loans and mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are carried at the lower of fair value or cost. At March 31, 2005, approximately $398 billion of the Firm’s assets were recorded at fair value.

Trading and available-for-sale portfolios
The following table summarizes the Firm’s trading and available-for-sale portfolios by valuation methodology at March 31, 2005:

The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. companies to repatriate accumulated foreign earnings at a substantially reduced U.S. effective tax rate by providing a dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to the U.S. taxpayer (the “repatriation provision”). The new deduction is subject to a number of limitations and requirements.

Clarification of key elements of the repatriation provision from Congress or the U.S. Treasury Department may affect an enterprise’s evaluation of the effect of the Act on its plan for repatriation or reinvestment of foreign earnings. The FSP provides a practical exception to the SFAS 109 requirement to reflect the effect of a new tax law in the period of enactment, because of the lack of clarification of certain provisions of the Act and the timing of the enactment. Thus, companies have additional time to assess the effect of the Act on their plans for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying SFAS 109. A company should apply the provisions of SFAS 109 (i.e., reflect the tax impact in the financial statements) in the period in which it makes the decision to repatriate or reinvest unremitted foreign earnings in accordance with the Act. Decisions can be made in stages (e.g., by foreign country). The repatriation provision is effective for either the 2004 or 2005 tax years for calendar year taxpayers.

The range of possible amounts that may be considered by the Firm for repatriation under this provision is between zero and $1.9 billion. The Firm is currently assessing the impact of the repatriation provision and, at this time, cannot reasonably estimate the related range of income tax effects of such repatriation provision. Accordingly, the Firm has not reflected the tax effect of the repatriation provision in income tax expense or income tax liabilities.

Accounting for share-based payments
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, which revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB 107 which provides interpretive guidance on SFAS 123R. Accounting and reporting under SFAS 123R is generally similar to the SFAS 123 approach. However, SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS 123R permits adoption using one of two methods – modified prospective or modified retrospective.

The Firm has continued to account for stock options that were outstanding as of December 31, 2002 under APB 25 using the intrinsic value method. Therefore, compensation expense for some previously granted awards that was not recognized under SFAS 123 will be recognized under SFAS 123R. Had the Firm adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in Note 6 on page 62 of this Form 10–Q. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new rule that, for public companies, delays the effective date to no later than January 1, 2006. The Firm intends to adopt SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 under the modified prospective method.

Accounting for variable interest entities
The application of FIN 46R involved significant judgment and interpretations by management. The Firm is aware of differing interpretations being developed among accounting professionals and the EITF with regard to analyzing derivatives under FIN 46R. At its March 2005 meeting, the EITF suspended further deliberations on EITF Issue 04-7, subject to actions by the Financial Accounting Standard Board. Timing of these actions is not certain.

Accounting for conditional asset retirement obligations
In March 2005, FASB issued FIN 47 to clarify the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS No. 143. Conditional asset retirement obligations are legal obligations to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the company. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. FIN 47 clarifies that a company is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated and provides guidance for determining when a company would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of the obligation. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Firm is currently assessing the impact of this interpretation.

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase” or the “Firm”), a financial holding company incorporated under Delaware law in 1968, is a leading global financial services firm and one of the largest banking institutions in the United States, with operations in more than 50 countries. The Firm is a leader in investment banking, financial services for consumers and businesses, financial transaction processing, investment management, private banking and private equity. For a discussion of the Firm’s business segment information, see Note 20 on pages 74-75 of this Form 10-Q.

The accounting and financial reporting policies of JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and prevailing industry practices for interim reporting. Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. The unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could be different from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments have been included for a fair statement of this interim financial information. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in JPMorgan Chase’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (“2004 Annual Report”).

As further described in Note 2 of this Form 10-Q, on July 1, 2004, the Firm merged with Bank One Corporation (“Bank One”) and acquired all of its outstanding stock. The merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Bank One’s results of operations were included in the Firm’s results beginning July 1, 2004.

Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Merger with Bank One Corporation
Refer to Note 2 on pages 89-90 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report for a discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s merger with Bank One Corporation (the “Merger”) on July 1, 2004, including its purchase price allocation and goodwill, Unaudited condensed statement of net assets acquired, and Acquired, identifiable intangible assets.

Bank One merged with and into JPMorgan Chase. The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets and liabilities of Bank One be fair valued as of July 1, 2004. The purchase price to complete the Merger was $58.5 billion.

Pro forma condensed combined financial information
The following pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the results of operations of the Firm, for the three months ended March 31, 2004, had the Merger taken place at January 1, 2004.

Other business events
On February 28, 2005, JPMorgan Chase and Cazenove Group plc (“Cazenove”) formed a joint venture partnership which combined Cazenove’s investment banking business and JPMorgan Chase’s United Kingdom-based investment banking business to provide investment banking services in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The new company is called JPMorgan Cazenove Holdings.

NOTE 6 — EMPLOYEE STOCK-BASED INCENTIVES
For a discussion of the accounting policies relating to employee stock-based compensation, see Note 7 on pages 95-97 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. The following table presents net income (after-tax) and basic and diluted earnings per share as reported, and as if all outstanding awards were accounted for at fair value:

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R, which revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB 107 which provides interpretive guidance on SFAS 123R. Accounting and reporting under SFAS 123R is generally similar to the SFAS 123 approach. However, SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options and SARs, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.

SFAS 123R permits adoption using one of two methods — modified prospective or modified retrospective. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new rule that, for public companies, delays the effective date of SFAS 123R to no later than January 1, 2006. The Firm intends to adopt SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, under the modified prospective method.

NOTE 9 — SECURITIES FINANCING ACTIVITIES
For a discussion of the accounting policies relating to Securities Financing Activities, see Note 10 on page 100 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. The following table details the components of securities financing activities at each of the dates indicated:

Transactions similar to financing activities that do not meet the SFAS 140 definition of a repurchase agreement are accounted for as “buys” and “sells” rather than financing transactions. There were no transactions accounted for as purchases under SFAS 140 at March 31, 2005; notional amounts of transactions accounted for as purchases under SFAS 140 were $6 billion at December 31, 2004. Notional amounts of transactions accounted for as sales under SFAS 140 were $8 billion and $20 billion at March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively.

JPMorgan Chase pledges certain financial instruments it owns to collateralize repurchase agreements and other securities financings. Pledged securities that can be sold or repledged by the secured party are identified as financial instruments owned (pledged to various parties) on the Consolidated balance sheets.

At March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Firm had received securities as collateral that can be repledged, delivered or otherwise used with a fair value of approximately $285 billion and $252 billion, respectively. This collateral was generally obtained under resale or securities borrowing agreements. Of these securities, approximately $270 billion and $238 billion, respectively, were repledged, delivered or otherwise used, generally as collateral under repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements or to cover short sales.

NOTE 10 — LOANS
For a discussion of the accounting policies relating to Loans, see Note 11 on pages 101-102 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. The composition of the loan portfolio at each of the dates indicated was as follows:

The table below summarizes the changes in the Allowance for lending-related commitments:

NOTE 12 — LOAN SECURITIZATIONS
For a discussion of the accounting policies relating to Loan Securitizations, see Note 13 on pages 103-106 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. JPMorgan Chase securitizes, sells and services various consumer loans, such as consumer real estate, credit card and automobile loans, as well as certain wholesale loans (primarily real estate) originated by the Investment Bank. In addition, the Investment Bank purchases, packages and securitizes commercial and consumer loans. All IB activity is collectively referred to below as Wholesale activities. JPMorgan Chase-sponsored securitizations utilize special purpose entities (“SPEs”) as part of the securitization process. These SPEs are structured to meet the definition of a “qualifying” special purpose entity (“QSPE”), as discussed in Note 1 on page 88 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report; accordingly, the assets and liabilities of securitization-related QSPEs are not reflected in the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets (except for retained interests, as described below) but are included on the balance sheet of the QSPE purchasing the assets. Assets held by securitization-related SPEs as of March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, were as follows:

The following table summarizes new securitization transactions that were completed during the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, the resulting gains or losses arising from such securitizations, certain cash flows received from such securitizations, and the key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interests, as of the dates of such sales:

In addition to securitization transactions, the Firm sold residential mortgage loans totaling $11.3 billion and $18.0 billion during the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively, primarily as GNMA, FNMA and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities; these sales resulted in pre-tax gains of $37 million and $49 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, the Firm had, with respect to its credit card master trusts, $33.3 billion and $35.2 billion, respectively, related to its undivided interest, and $2.1 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, related to its subordinated interest, in accrued interest and fees on the securitized receivables, net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. Credit card securitization trusts require the Firm to maintain a minimum undivided interest of 4% to 7% of the principal receivables in the trusts. The Firm maintained an average undivided interest in its principal receivables in the trusts of approximately 26% and 23% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, and for the year ended December 31, 2004, respectively.

The Firm also maintains escrow accounts up to predetermined limits for some of its credit card and automobile securitizations, in the unlikely event of deficiencies in cash flows owed to investors. The amounts available in such escrow accounts are recorded in Other assets and, as of March 31, 2005, amounted to $350 million and $113 million for credit card and automobile securitizations, respectively; as of December 31, 2004, the amounts available in escrow accounts were $395 million and $132 million for credit card and automobile securitizations, respectively.

The table below summarizes other retained securitization interests, which are primarily subordinated or residual interests and are carried at fair value on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets:

The sensitivity analysis in the preceding table is hypothetical. Changes in fair value based on a 10% or 20% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated easily, 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 that a change in a particular assumption may have on the fair value is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another assumption, which could counteract or magnify the sensitivities.

The Firm views its credit exposure to multi-seller conduit transactions as limited. This is because, for the most part, the Firm is not required to fund under the liquidity facilities if the assets in the VIE are in default. Additionally, the Firm’s obligations under the letters of credit are secondary to the risk of first loss provided by the customer or other third parties — for example, by the overcollateralization of the VIE with the assets sold to it or notes subordinated to the Firm’s liquidity facilities.

Additionally, the Firm is involved with a structured investment vehicle (“SIV”) that funds a diversified portfolio of highly rated assets by issuing medium-term notes, commercial paper and capital. The assets and liabilities of this SIV were approximately $7.8 billion and $7.1 billion at March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively, and were included in the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheets.

Finally, the Firm may enter into transactions with VIEs structured by other parties. These transactions can include, for example, acting as a derivative counterparty, liquidity provider, investor, underwriter, placement agent, trustee or custodian. These transactions are conducted at arm’s length, and individual credit decisions are based upon the analysis of the specific VIE, taking into consideration the quality of the underlying assets. JPMorgan Chase records and reports these positions similarly to any other third-party transaction. These activities do not cause JPMorgan Chase to absorb a majority of the expected losses of the VIEs or to receive a majority of the residual returns of the VIE, and they are not considered significant for disclosure purposes.

The interest-bearing beneficial interest liabilities issued by consolidated VIEs are classified in the line item titled “Beneficial interests issued by consolidated variable interest entities” on the Consolidated balance sheets. The holders of these beneficial interests do not have recourse to the general credit of JPMorgan Chase.

Under SFAS 142, goodwill must be allocated to reporting units and tested for impairment. Goodwill attributed to the business segments was as follows:

On March 17, 2005, JPMorgan Chase reached an agreement to settle, for $2.0 billion (pre-tax), its class action litigation regarding WorldCom, Inc. In connection with the settlement, JPMorgan Chase increased its Litigation reserve by $900 million (pre-tax). While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, the amount of the Firm’s Litigation reserve at March 31, 2005, reflected management’s assessment of the appropriate litigation reserve level at that date in light of all information then known. Management reviews litigation reserves periodically, and the reserve may be increased or decreased in the future to reflect further litigation developments. The Firm believes it has meritorious defenses to claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding litigation and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases, according to management’s judgment as to what is in the best interest of stockholders.

The majority of JPMorgan Chase’s derivatives are entered into for trading purposes. Derivatives are also utilized by the Firm as an end-user to hedge market exposures, to modify the interest rate characteristics of related balance sheet instruments or to meet longer-term investment objectives. Both trading and end-user derivatives are recorded in Trading assets and Trading liabilities. For a further discussion of the Firm’s use of, and accounting policies regarding, derivative instruments, see pages 62-65 and Note 26 on pages 118-119 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. The following table presents derivative instrument hedging-related activities for the periods indicated:

Over the next 12 months, it is expected that $48 million (after-tax) of net gains recorded in Other comprehensive income at March 31, 2005, will be recognized in earnings. The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are hedged is 13 years, related to core lending and borrowing activities.

NOTE 19 — OFF-BALANCE SHEET LENDING-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND GUARANTEES

For a discussion of off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees, and the Firm’s related accounting policies, see Note 27 on pages 119-120 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. To provide for the risk of loss inherent in wholesale-related contracts, an allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments is maintained. See Note 12 on pages 102-103 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report for a further discussion regarding the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments. The following table summarizes the contractual amounts of off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees and the related allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments at March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004:

For a discussion of the off-balance sheet lending-related arrangements the Firm considers to be guarantees under FIN 45, and the related accounting policies, see Note 27 on pages 119-120 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. The amount of the liability related to guarantees recorded at March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, excluding the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments and derivative contracts discussed below, was $388 million and $341 million, respectively.

In addition to the contracts noted above, there are certain derivative contracts to which the Firm is a counterparty that meet the characteristics of a guarantee under FIN 45. For a discussion of the derivatives the Firm considers to be guarantees, and the related accounting policies, see Note 27 on pages 119-120 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report. The total notional value of the derivatives that the Firm deems to be guarantees was $58 billion and $53 billion at March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively. The fair value related to these contracts was a derivative receivable of $190 million and $180 million, and a derivative payable of $820 million and $622 million at March 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, respectively.

JPMorgan Chase is organized into six major reportable business segments: the Investment Bank, Retail Financial Services, Card Services, Commercial Banking, Treasury & Securities Services and Asset & Wealth Management, as well as a Corporate segment. The segments are based upon the products and services provided or the type of customer served, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Results of these lines of business are presented on an operating basis. For a definition of operating basis, see the footnotes to the table below. For a further discussion concerning JPMorgan Chase’s business segments, see Business segment results on page 13 of this Form 10-Q, and pages 28-29 and Note 31 on pages 126-127 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2004 Annual Report.

The following table provides a summary of the Firm’s segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, on an operating basis. The effect of credit card securitizations, Merger costs and the Litigation reserve charge have been included in Corporate/reconciling items so that total Firm results are on a reported basis. Finally, Operating revenue (Noninterest revenue and Net interest income) for each of the segments is presented on a tax-equivalent basis. Accordingly, revenue from tax-exempt securities and investments that receive tax credits are presented in the operating results on a basis comparable to taxable securities and investments. This allows management to assess the comparability of revenues arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to these items is recorded within Income tax expense. The effect of the tax-equivalent basis adjustments is eliminated in Corporate/Reconciling items to reflect results on a reported basis. Segment results for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, reflect heritage JPMorgan Chase-only results and have been restated to reflect the current business segment organization and reporting classifications.

For a discussion of the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see the Market Risk Management section of the MD&A on pages 49-52 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 4 Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Firm’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). See Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 31.3 for the Certification statements issued by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There was no change in the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the first quarter of 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1 Legal proceedings
The following information supplements and amends the disclosure set forth under Part I, Item 3 “Legal proceedings” in the Firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed since December 31, 2004.

Enron litigation. On March 28, 2005, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted JPMorgan Chase’s motion to dismiss a purported consolidated class action lawsuit by the Firm’s stockholders alleging that the Firm issued false and misleading press releases and other public documents relating to Enron in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5. The dismissal was without prejudice to replead. Also on March 28, 2005, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed without prejudice a shareholder derivative action brought by the Firm’s stockholders against JPMorgan Chase’s directors for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties.

WorldCom litigation. On March 17, 2005, JPMorgan Chase reached agreement with the counsel for named plaintiff Alan Hevesi to settle for $2 billion the claims asserted against the Firm in the class action case pending before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. All of the other underwriters defendants in the case also settled, for an aggregate payment to the class of more than $6.1 billion. Those settlements do not resolve more than 35 individual actions filed separately by plaintiffs that opted out of the class action. Those individual plaintiffs claim losses totaling about $1.3 billion. Settlement negotiations with certain of the plaintiffs in those actions are under way.

Commercial Financial Services litigation. The Firm has reached agreements in principle to settle for $356 million all the institutional investors’ lawsuits pending against JPMSI in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma. These investors had sought damages of approximately $1.6 billion.

IPO allocation litigation. On February 15, 2005, the Court preliminarily approved a proposed settlement of plaintiffs’ claims against the issuer defendants in these cases, and has scheduled a fairness hearing on the issuer settlement for January 6, 2006. Pursuant to the proposed issuer settlement, the issuer defendants conditionally assigned to the plaintiffs any claims related to any “excess compensation” allegedly paid to the underwriters by their customers for allocations of stock in the offerings at issue in the IPO litigation. Joseph P. Lasala, the trustee designated by plaintiffs to act as assignee of such issuer excess compensation claims, has filed complaints purporting to allege state law claims on behalf of certain issuers against JPMSI and other underwriters, together with motions to stay proceedings in each case. JPMSI either has filed or will shortly file oppositions to the stays and motions to dismiss the complaints.

Research analyst conflicts. In the action filed in West Virginia state court by West Virginia’s Attorney General, the West Virginia Supreme Court has agreed to hear the interlocutory appeal sought by defendants of the trial court’s denial of their motion to dismiss. Oral argument on the appeal is scheduled for June 8, 2005. The email retention settlement has been finally approved by all regulators on the terms negotiated by JPMSI and the staff of each regulator.

National Century Financial Enterprises (NCFE). On March 31, 2005, motions to dismiss the UAT action were filed on behalf of JPMorgan Chase Bank. These motions are currently pending. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has served subpoenas on JPMorgan Chase Bank and Bank One, N.A. (“Bank One”) and has interviewed certain current and former employees. On April 25, 2005, the staff of the Midwest Regional Office of the SEC wrote to advise Bank One that it is considering

recommending that the Commission bring a civil injunctive action against Bank One and a former employee alleging violations of the securities laws in connection with Bank One’s role as indenture trustee for the NPF XII note program.

Mutual Fund Litigation. On March 25, 2005, Bank One and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the Employee Retirement Income Security Act claims in the litigation in Baltimore, Maryland. On April 11, 2005, the West Virginia Attorney General filed suit against BOIA, JPMorgan Chase and other entities related to the mutual fund industry for alleged market timing, late trading and disclosure of portfolio information. The suit purports to bring claims for quo warranto and violation of the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act.

Bank One Securities Litigation. The Firm as successor to Bank One Corporation, settled all First Chicago Shareholder claims against it and former officers and directors in In Re Bank One Securities Litigation for $120 million. The Firm reached this settlement agreement without admitting any wrongdoing. On March 22, 2005, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois preliminarily approved the settlement. A fairness hearing will be held on May 19, 2005 in connection with the class settlement.

During the first quarter of 2005, shares of common stock of JPMorgan Chase & Co. were issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, to retired directors who had deferred receipt of such common stock pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, as follows: January 3, 2005: 27,171 shares; and to retired employees who had deferred receipt of such common shares pursuant to the Corporate Performance Incentive Plan, as follows: January 25, 2005: 37,988 shares.

On July 20, 2004, the Board of Directors approved an initial stock repurchase program in the aggregate amount of $6.0 billion. This amount includes shares to be repurchased to offset issuances under the Firm’s employee equity-based plans. The actual amount of shares repurchased will be subject to various factors, including market conditions; legal considerations affecting the amount and timing of repurchase activity; the Firm’s capital position (taking into account purchase accounting adjustments); internal capital generation; and alternative potential investment opportunities. The stock repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date.

The Firm’s repurchases of equity securities in the first quarter of 2005 were as follows:

In addition to the repurchases disclosed above, participants in the Long-term Incentive Plan and Stock Option Plan may have shares withheld to cover income taxes. Shares withheld to pay income taxes are repurchased pursuant to the terms of the applicable Plan and not under the Firm’s publicly announced share repurchase program. A total of 6,993,164 shares were repurchased in the 2005 first quarter at an average price per share of $27.20: January—6,392,128 shares at an average price per share of $26.70; February—329,745 shares at an average price per share of $33.35; March—271,291 shares at an average price per share of $31.65.

Also excluded are credit enhancements in the form of letter-of-credit and surety receivables.
(c)		The Firm held $41 billion of collateral against derivative receivables as of December 31, 2004, consisting of $32 billion in net cash received under credit support annexes to legally enforceable master netting agreements, and $9 billion of other highly liquid collateral.

(c)		Includes VAR on derivative credit valuation adjustments, credit valuation adjustment hedges and mark-to-market loan hedges, which are all reported in Trading revenue. This VAR does not include the accrual loan portfolio, which is not marked to market.
