CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON (USA), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The Company
Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc., formerly known as Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc., and subsidiaries (the Company), is a leading integrated investment bank serving institutional, corporate, government and high-net worth individual clients. The Company provides clients with a broad range of products and services that includes securities underwriting, sales and trading, investment banking, financial advisory services, private equity investments, full-service brokerage services, derivatives and risk management products and research.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse First Boston, Inc. (CSFBI) and was acquired on November 3, 2000 (the Acquisition). No adjustments of the historical carrying values of the Companys assets and liabilities to reflect the Acquisition were recorded in the Companys historical consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, although the Acquisition gave rise to goodwill, none of this goodwill was pushed down to the Company. For further discussion of the Acquisition, see the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States but not required for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and income for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
To prepare condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must estimate certain amounts that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), which replaces SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets that are held for sale be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. SFAS 144 also broadens the reporting requirements for discontinued operations. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 144. See Note 2 for more information on discontinued operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), which requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of costs covered by SFAS 146 include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with restructurings, discontinued operations or other exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2003.
8
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Othersan interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34 (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain of its guarantees. FIN 45 also requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligations it has undertaken in issuing such guarantees. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The recognition and initial measurement provisions are to be applied only on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 for the financial statements as of December 31, 2002. The Company adopted the recognition requirements of FIN 45 on January 1, 2003. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial condition as of March 31, 2003 or the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003. See Note 13 for more information.
FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements (FIN 46), was issued on January 17, 2003. FIN 46 provides guidance for determining whether a company must consolidate entities where a majority of voting equity is not adequate for making the determination either because voting equity does not exist or because the entitys decisions are so restricted that decisions are irrelevant. The FASB has named these entities variable interest entities, or VIEs. The guidance in FIN 46 is applicable for many special purpose entities and any other entity not explicitly excluded from the scope that does not meet the criteria set out in FIN 46 for determining whether analysis based on a majority of voting equity is appropriate. Under FIN 46, a party must consolidate a VIE if it is the primary beneficiary, defined as an entity that participates in the majority of expected losses or expected residual returns, or both. Generally, FIN 46 does not require consolidation of qualifying special purpose entities (QSPEs) that meet the requirements of SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS 140). See Note 6 for more information on the Companys QSPEs.
The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 are applicable to all VIEs created after January 31, 2003. For entities that existed before February 1, 2003, the Company must review them under FIN 46 by July 1, 2003. FIN 46 imposes immediate disclosure requirements for all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The most significant of these disclosures relate to VIEs for which the Company believes consolidation on July 1, 2003 is reasonably possible. See Note 6 for more information.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 149), which amends and clarifies accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). The statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 149.
Recent Developments
On January 7, 2003, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Pershing unit, which is part of the Financial Services segment, to The Bank of New York Company, Inc. (BONY) for $2 billion in cash, the repayment of a $480 million subordinated loan and an additional contingent payment of up to $50 million based on future performance. The transaction closed on May 1, 2003. In connection with the closing, the Company entered into an amendment to the sale agreement that required it to deliver the Pershing unit with a total equity value of $645 million, an increase of $45 million. The Company expects to report in the second quarter of 2003 a gain from the completion of the sale of the Pershing unit of approximately $1.3 billion pre-tax and approximately $850 million after-tax. The Company has presented the assets and liabilities of its Pershing unit as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The operating results of the Pershing unit have been presented as Discontinued operations for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of income. See Note 2 for more information.
On January 17, 2003, the Companys principal U.S. broker dealer, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, was converted to the Delaware limited liability company Credit Suisse First Boston LLC (CSFB LLC). The sale of Pershing was structured as a sale of the Companys U.S. broker dealer, Donaldson, Lufkin, & Jenrette Securities Corporation (which was converted to the Delaware limited liability company Pershing LLC on January 17, 2003), and certain other of the Companys subsidiaries through which the Pershing business has been conducted. In anticipation of the sale, the businesses of Pershing LLC that were not part of the Pershing business, principally the Private Client Services business, were transferred to CSFB LLC or other subsidiaries in the first quarter of 2003.
9
On February 28, 2003, the Company redeemed the remaining 88,500 shares of its Fixed/Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B (liquidation preference of $50.00 per share) at par plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
On March 20, 2003, the Companys immediate parent company, CSFBI, transferred Credit Suisse First Boston Management Corporation to the Company as a capital contribution, and on March 21, 2003, the company was converted to the Delaware limited liability company Credit Suisse First Boston Management LLC (Management LLC). Management LLC engages in derivatives transactions and holds a portfolio of private equity, distressed assets and real estate investments. The derivatives transactions entered into by Management LLC have historically been designed to hedge certain trading and other positions held by CSFB LLC. Prior to the transfer of Management LLC to the Company, the Companys results of operations reflected only these trading and other positions held by CSFB LLC without the offsetting effect of the related hedges maintained by Management LLC. The Company believes the transfer of Management LLC to the Company should reduce the Companys earnings volatility because its ongoing results of operations will reflect both the gains and losses from trading and the offsetting effect of the related hedges. The transfer also represents a further integration of the U.S. operations of the Credit Suisse First Boston business unit, of which the Company is a part, into the Company.
The transfer of Management LLC has been accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to pooling-of-interest accounting because Management LLC and the Company were under the common control of CSFBI at the time of the transfer. Beginning with these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated financial information to reflect the results of operations and financial position of Management LLC as if the Company had acquired it on November 3, 2000, the date that the Company was acquired by CSFBI.
On May 1, 2003, the Company sold its Pershing unit to BONY. See Note 1 for more information.
In accordance with SFAS 144, the Company presented the assets and liabilities of its Pershing unit as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The operating results of the Pershing unit for all periods presented were presented as Discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Included in the condensed consolidated statements of income are revenues and expenses resulting from various securities trading, investment banking and financing activities with certain affiliates, as well as fees for administrative services performed by the Company under the terms of various service agreements.

There were no revenues or expenses of Pershing earned from or charged to CSG, its subsidiaries and affiliates outside the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.
Pursuant to an agreement, the Company sold at cost, without recourse, to CSFBI, the right, title and interest in certain assets with an aggregate value of $302 million and $214 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The CSG stock plan (the Plan) provides for equity-based awards to the Companys employees based on CSG shares. Pursuant to the Plan, employees of the Company may be granted, as compensation, stock or other equity-based awards. The provisions of the Plan include a provision to deliver CSG shares to the employees as compensation for services performed. CSFBI purchases the shares from CSG but CSFBI does not require reimbursement from the Company for these awards; therefore, amounts are considered a capital contribution to the Company and credited to paid-in capital. Amounts contributed by CSFBI relating to compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $94 million and $196 million, respectively.
Certain employees of the Company are granted options on CSG stock as part of overall compensation. In accordance with the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25, no compensation expense was recognized by the Company for options during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 because they had no intrinsic value on the date of grant. Further, there are no charges to earnings upon exercise of fixed stock options. These options were purchased from CSG by CSFBI. CSFBI does not require reimbursement for the purchase of options; therefore, the Company had no obligation with respect to these options.
The Company is included in a consolidated federal income tax return and combined New York State and New York City income tax returns filed by CSFBI. CSFBI allocates federal, state and local income taxes to its subsidiaries on a separate return basis. Any resulting liability is paid currently to CSFBI. Any credits for losses are paid by CSFBI to the Company to the extent that such credits are for tax benefits that have been used in the consolidated federal or combined state and local income tax return. CSFBI allocated to the Company a current income tax benefit of $86 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and a current income tax expense of $139 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, related to continuing operations.

Management has determined that the realization of the recognized gross deferred tax asset of $1.9 billion and $2.1 billion at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, is more likely than not, based on anticipated future taxable income. In addition, for federal income tax purposes, the Company has planning strategies available that may enhance its ability to utilize these tax benefits. However, if estimates of future taxable income are reduced, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could also be reduced. Further, due to uncertainty concerning the Companys ability to generate the necessary amount and mix of state and local taxable income in future periods, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred state and local tax asset, which amounted to $42 million and $46 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair market value of assets that the Company pledged to counterparties was $164.7 billion and $147.0 billion, respectively, of which $50.2 billion and $51.2 billion, respectively, are included in financial instruments owned in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company has also received similar assets as collateral where it has the right to re-pledge or sell the assets. The Company routinely re-pledges or lends these assets to third parties. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair market value of the assets pledged to the Company was $150.7 billion and $140.3 billion, respectively. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair market value of the assets that the Company pledged to Pershing was $3.1 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair market value of the assets that Pershing pledged to the Company was $346 million and $267 million, respectively.
Securitization Activities
The Company originates and purchases commercial mortgages and purchases residential mortgages for the purpose of securitization. The Company sells these mortgage loans to a QSPE. The QSPE issues securities that pay amounts based upon the return on the assets transferred to the QSPE. CSFB LLC is an underwriter of, and makes a market in, these securities. Investors typically have recourse to the assets in the QSPE. The investors and the QSPEs have no recourse to the Company.
The Company purchases loans and other debt obligations from clients for the purpose of securitization. The loans and other debt obligations are transferred by the Company directly, or indirectly through affiliates, to QSPEs or other VIEs that issue collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). CSFB LLC structures, underwrites and makes a market in these CDOs. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that certain VIEs in which it holds the majority of expected losses or expected residual returns, or both, will be consolidated upon adoption of FIN 46. The Company does not expect to consolidate other VIEs in which the Company has significant investments, including equity (less than a majority) and debt but less than the majority of expected losses
16
or expected residual returns, or both. The Company may retain interests in these CDO VIEs in connection with its underwriting and market-making activities.
The Companys exposure is limited to its retained interests. Retained interests in securitized financial assets are included at fair value in financial instruments owned in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Any changes to the fair value of these retained interests are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair values of retained interests are determined using present value of estimated future cash flows valuation techniques that incorporate assumptions that market participants customarily use in their estimates of values.
The following table presents the proceeds and gain or loss related to the securitization of commercial mortgage loans, residential mortgage loans and other debt obligations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002:

(1) Includes the effects of hedging, underwriting and retained interest gains and losses and excludes all gains or losses, including net interest revenues, on assets prior to securitization. The net revenues earned while holding the residential mortgage assets prior to securitization significantly exceeded the amount of the loan losses from securitization.
The following table sets forth the fair value of retained interests from securitizations as of March 31, 2003, key economic assumptions used to determine the fair value, and the sensitivity of the current fair value to immediate adverse changes in those assumptions:

(1) To deter prepayment, commercial mortgage loans typically have prepayment protection in the form of prepayment lockouts and yield maintenances.
(2) CDO deals are generally structured to be protected from prepayment risk.
(3) PSA is an industry standard prepayment speed metric used for projecting prepayments over the life of a residential mortgage loan. PSA utilizes the Constant Prepayment Rate (CPR) assumptions. A 100% prepayment assumption assumes a prepayment rate of 0.2% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of mortgage loans in the first month. This increases by 0.2% thereafter during the term of the mortgage loan, leveling off to a constant prepayment rate of 6.0% per annum beginning in the thirtieth month and each month thereafter during the term of the mortgage loan. 100 PSA equals 6 CPR.
(4) The rate is based on the weighted average yield on the retained interest of the portfolio.
(5) Expected credit losses are not expected to be significant because substantially all beneficial interests retained represent investment-grade interests.
(6) The impact of adverse changes in credit spreads was calculated based on the non-investment grade retained interests because the expected credit losses on investment grade retained interests were not considered material.
These sensitivities are hypothetical and do not reflect the benefits of hedging activities and therefore should be used with caution. Changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interests is calculated without changing any other assumption. Changes in one assumption may result in changes in other assumptions (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
Variable Interest Entities
FIN 46, issued in January 2003, has transitional guidance related to VIEs for which the Company believes consolidation on July 1, 2003 is reasonably possible. Additionally, disclosure is required when the Company has significant interests in VIEs the Company does not expect to consolidate upon adoption of FIN 46. The following disclosure is a result of the Companys analysis to date. As implementation efforts proceed, the actual impact may differ from what is presented, including identification of additional entities as VIEs. FIN 46 exempts certain entities from its scope, including QSPEs compliant with SFAS 140.
The Company has variable interests in several CDO entities that may be VIEs within the scope of FIN 46. The Company purchases loans and other debt obligations from and on behalf of clients for the purpose of securitization. The assets are sold to and warehoused by affiliates during the warehousing period. At the end of the warehousing period, the assets are sold to QSPEs or VIEs for securitization. The CDO entities may have static or unmanaged (closed) portfolios or actively managed (open) portfolios. Open CDOs are managed by collateral managers. CSFB LLC acts as structurer, underwriter and market-maker of these CDOs.
18
In connection with CSFB LLCs underwriting and market-making activities, the Company retains interests in several CDOs. The closed CDO transactions are structured to use QSPEs and are therefore not consolidated into the Companys financial statements. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had $65 million of debt and equity in retained interests in closed CDOs, carried at fair value in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Open CDOs do not qualify for QSPE status and are issued through VIEs. The Company may retain interests in these VIEs that range from small minority to majority debt and equity interests.
For CDO VIEs in which the Company retains a majority of the debt and equity interests, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible these CDO entities will be consolidated upon adoption of FIN 46. The estimated impact of consolidation of these CDO entities at March 31, 2003 is an increase in financial instruments owned of approximately $653 million, of which $3 million is retained interests and is currently included at fair value in financial instruments owned in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
The Company also has CDO VIEs in which the Company retains significant debt and equity interests and which are not expected to be consolidated upon adoption of FIN 46. The total assets in these CDOs as of March 31, 2003 were approximately $2.1 billion. The Companys maximum exposure to loss is $14 million, which is the amount of the Companys retained interests in these CDOs. These interests are carried at fair value in financial instruments owned in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
In addition, the Company retains small, minority equity and debt interests in VIEs that are also not expected to be consolidated upon adoption of FIN 46. The carrying value of the retained interests at March 31, 2003 was $193 million. These interests are carried at fair value in financial instruments owned in the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition.
Short-term borrowings are generally demand obligations with interest approximating the federal funds rate, LIBOR or other money market indices. Such borrowings are generally used to facilitate the securities settlement process, to finance securities inventories and to finance securities purchased by customers on margin. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, there were no short-term borrowings secured by Company-owned securities.
The Company had letters of credit of $342 million and $543 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, that the Company obtained to satisfy counterparty collateral requirements.
The Company has two commercial paper programs exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 that allow the Company to issue up to $7.0 billion in commercial paper. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, $1.1 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, of commercial paper was outstanding under these programs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, interest paid on all borrowings and financing arrangements relating to continuing operations was $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, interest paid on all borrowings and financing arrangements relating to discontinued operations was $37 million and $35 million, respectively. Long-term borrowings included unrealized appreciation of approximately $1.2 billion as of both March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, associated with fair value hedges under SFAS 133. At both March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had entered into interest rate and currency swaps on $15 billion of its long-term borrowings. Substantially all of these swaps qualified as fair value hedges under SFAS 133. See Note 11 for more information.
In April 2002, the Company filed with the SEC a shelf registration statement that allows the Company to issue from time to time up to $10 billion of senior and subordinated debt securities, and warrants to purchase such securities. Under that shelf registration statement, the Company had, at May 12, 2003, approximately $6.5 billion available for issuance.
2003 Financings:
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company issued $525 million in medium-term notes under its shelf registration statement and $1.3 billion in medium-term notes under a $5 billion Euromarket program established in July 2001.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, approximately $590 million of medium-term notes were repaid.
Private equity and other long-term investments include direct investments and investments in investment vehicles that are generally structured as limited partnerships that in turn make private equity and related investments in various portfolio companies and funds. The Company categorizes its private equity investments and other long-term investments into two categories, public securities and private securities. Private securities are further classified as CSFB-managed funds, direct investments or third-party managed funds. These investments generally have no readily available market or may be otherwise restricted as to resale under the Securities Act of 1933; therefore, these investments are carried at estimated fair value.
The Companys subsidiaries, generally acting as managing general partner, manage many private equity partnerships (the Funds). When the investment performance on CSFB-managed funds exceeds specific thresholds, the Company and certain other general partners (the GPs) may be entitled to receive a carried interest distribution. Carried interest distributions are based on the cumulative investment performance of each Fund at the time the distribution is made. As a result, the Company, in its capacity as a GP (or general partner or managing member of a GP), may be obligated to return to investors in the Funds all or a portion of the carried interest distributions received by the GP if the GP is determined to have received excess carried interest payments over the life of the Funds under the governing documents of the Funds. The amount of such contingent obligation is based upon the performance of the Funds but cannot exceed the amount received by the GP. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the maximum amount of such contingent obligation was $190 million and $155 million, respectively, assuming the Funds remaining investments were worthless. Assuming the Funds remaining investments were sold at their current carrying values at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the contingent obligation would have been $38 million and $31 million, respectively. The Company recorded liabilities of $13 million at both March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, related to this obligation.
In addition, pursuant to certain contractual arrangements, the Company is obligated to make cash payments to certain investors in certain Funds if specified performance thresholds are not met by such Funds. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the maximum amount of such contingent obligation was $39 million and $37 million, respectively, assuming the Funds remaining investments were worthless. Assuming the Funds remaining investments were sold at their current carrying values at both March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the contingent obligation would have been $1 million.
At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had investments in private equity and other long-term investments of $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, and had commitments to invest up to an additional $1.7 billion at both March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. Changes in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation arising from changes in fair
20
value and the gain or loss realized upon sale are reflected in principal transactions-net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
The Companys principal wholly owned subsidiary, CSFB LLC, is a registered broker-dealer, registered futures commission merchant and member firm of the New York Stock Exchange Inc. (NYSE). As such, it is subject to the NYSEs net capital rule, which conforms to the uniform net capital rule pursuant to Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Under the alternative method permitted by this rule, the required net capital may not be less than two percent of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions or four percent of segregated funds, whichever is greater. If a member firms net capital is less than four percent of aggregate debit balances, the NYSE may require the firm to reduce its business. If a member firms net capital is less than five percent of aggregate debit balances, the NYSE may prevent the firm from expanding its business and declaring cash dividends. At March 31, 2003, CSFB LLCs net capital of approximately $2.2 billion was 46% of aggregate debit balances and in excess of the minimum requirement by approximately $1.9 billion. The Companys over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives dealer subsidiary, Credit Suisse First Boston Capital LLC, is also subject to the uniform net capital rule, but calculates its net capital requirements under Appendix F of Rule 15c3-1.
Certain other subsidiaries are subject to capital adequacy requirements. At March 31, 2003, the Company and its subsidiaries complied with all applicable regulatory capital adequacy requirements.
Our broker-dealer subsidiary, Pershing LLC, was sold to BONY in connection with the sale of the Companys Pershing unit on May 1, 2003. See Note 1 for more information.
In compliance with the Commodity Exchange Act, the Companys registered broker-dealers segregate funds deposited by customers and funds accruing to customers as a result of trades or contracts. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, cash and securities aggregating $2.2 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, were segregated or secured in separate accounts exclusively for the benefit of customers.
In accordance with the SECs no-action letter dated November 3, 1998, the Companys registered broker-dealers computed a reserve requirement for the proprietary accounts of introducing broker-dealers. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, securities aggregating $561 million and $324 million, respectively, were segregated on behalf of introducing broker-dealers. Of those amounts, Pershing LLC segregated $450 million and $283 million, respectively, on behalf of introducing broker-dealers.
In addition, U.S. Treasury securities with a market value of $6.0 billion and $5.2 billion as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, were segregated in a special reserve bank account exclusively for the benefit of customers as required by Rule 15c3-3 of the Exchange Act. Of those amounts, Pershing LLC segregated $2.2 billion and $2.8 billion as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
The Company uses derivatives contracts for trading and hedging purposes and to meet client needs. These derivatives include options, forwards, futures and swaps.
Non-trading Derivatives
The Company manages its interest rate exposure on its fixed-rate debt by using interest rate swaps. These swaps are considered hedging instruments and qualify as fair value hedges under SFAS 133. For qualifying fair value hedges, the changes in fair value of both the hedging instrument and the underlying debt are included in other revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
The effectiveness of a qualifying hedging relationship is evaluated using quantitative measures of correlation. If a hedge relationship is not found to be highly effective, the hedge relationship no longer qualifies for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. As such, any subsequent gains or losses attributable to the hedged item cease to be recognized, while the subsequent
21
changes in the derivative instruments fair value are recognized in earnings in each reporting period. In addition, the fair value adjustment of the debt due to hedge accounting is amortized over the remaining life of the debt as a yield adjustment.
The gains and losses related to the ineffective component of the fair value hedges were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.
Other derivatives used for hedging purposes that do not qualify as hedges under SFAS 133 are carried at fair value with changes in value included in principal transactions-net in the condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized a gain of $2 million and $24,000, respectively, for these derivatives.
Trading Derivatives
The Company enters into various transactions using derivatives for trading purposes, hedging or to provide products to its clients, including options, forwards, futures and swaps.
Options
The Company writes option contracts specifically designed to meet customer needs or for hedging purposes. The options do not expose the Company to credit risk because the Company, not its counterparty, is obligated to perform. At the beginning of the contract period, the Company receives a cash premium. During the contract period, the Company bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the value of the financial instruments underlying the options. To manage this market risk, the Company purchases or sells cash or derivative financial instruments on a proprietary basis. Such purchases and sales may include debt and equity securities, forward and futures contracts and options.
The Company also purchases options for trading purposes. With purchased options, the Company gets the right, for a fee, to buy or sell the underlying instrument at a fixed price on or before a specified date. The underlying instruments for these options include fixed income securities, equities, foreign currencies and interest rate instruments or indices. The counterparties to these option contracts are reviewed to determine whether they are creditworthy.
Forwards and futures
The Company enters into forward purchases and sales contracts for mortgage-backed securities and foreign currencies. In addition, the Company enters into futures contracts on equity-based indices and other financial instruments, as well as options on futures contracts.
For forward contracts, cash is generally not required at inception; cash equal to the contract value is required at settlement. For futures contracts, the original margin is required generally in cash at inception; cash equal to the change in market value is required daily.
Because forward contracts are subject to the financial reliability of the counterparty, the Company is exposed to credit risk. To monitor this credit risk, the Company limits transactions with specific counterparties, reviews credit limits and adheres to internally established credit extension policies. For futures contracts and options on futures contracts, the change in the market value is settled with a clearing broker in cash each day. As a result, the credit risk with the clearing broker is limited to the net positive change in the market value for a single day.
Swaps
The Companys swap agreements consist primarily of interest rate and equity swaps. Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements to exchange interest rate payments based on agreed notional amounts and maturity. Equity swaps are contractual agreements to receive the appreciation or depreciation in value based on a specific strike price on an equity instrument in exchange for paying another rate, which is usually based on index or interest rate movements. Swaps are reported at fair value.
Trading derivative contracts are carried at fair value with changes in unrealized gains and losses and realized gains and losses included in principal transactions-net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

(1) In the ordinary course of business, the Company maintains certain standby repurchase agreement facilities that commit the Company to enter into resale agreements with customers at current market rates.
(2) Excludes sublease revenue of $499 million.
(3) Represents commitments to invest in various partnerships that make private equity and related investments in various portfolio companies or other private equity funds.
In addition at March 31, 2003, the Company had certain commitments that expire within one year, including commitments of $2.5 billion to enter into resale agreements.
The Company has contractual obligations related to certain information technology and mainframe systems. At March 31, 2003, these obligations were not significant. The Company had no capital lease obligations as of March 31, 2003. For certain of the Companys additional commitments, see Notes 7, 8 and 13.
In the ordinary course of business the Company enters into guarantee contracts. On December 31, 2002, the Company adopted the new disclosure requirements for guarantees in accordance with FIN 45. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the recognition requirements of FIN 45 whereby the Company will recognize a liability at the inception of certain guarantees for obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee, including its ongoing obligation to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event that certain events or conditions occur. With certain exceptions, these recognition requirements pertain to any new guarantees entered into or current guarantees that are modified after December 31, 2002.
23
The guarantees covered by FIN 45 may require the Company to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes related to an asset, a liability or an equity security of the guaranteed party. The Company may also be contingently required to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another entitys failure to perform under an agreement, or the Company may have an indirect guarantee of the indebtedness of others, even though the payment to the guaranteed party may not be based on changes related to an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed party.
In addition, FIN 45 covers certain indemnification agreements that contingently require the Company to make payments to the indemnified party based on changes related to an asset, liability or equity security of the indemnified party, such as an adverse judgment in a lawsuit or the imposition of additional taxes due to either a change in the tax law or an adverse interpretation of the tax law.

The Company has certain guarantees for which its maximum contingent liability cannot be quantified. These guarantees are not reflected in the table above and are discussed below.
Performance Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contracts that would require the Company, as the guarantor, to make payments to the guaranteed party based on a third partys failure to perform under an agreement. At March 31, 2003, the Company had a maximum contingent liability of $135 million under performance guarantees.
Market Value Guarantees
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into OTC contracts that contingently require it, as the guarantor, to make payments based on changes in an underlying security. Included in this category are certain written OTC put option contracts, pursuant to which the counterparty can potentially force the Company to acquire the underlying financial instrument or require the Company to make a cash payment in an amount equal to the decline in value of the financial instrument underlying the OTC put option. Also included in this category are credit derivatives that may subject the Company to credit spread or issuer default risk because the change in credit spreads or the credit quality of the underlying financial instrument may obligate the Company to make a payment.
The Company seeks to manage these risks by engaging in various hedging strategies to reduce its exposure such as purchasing an option to sell the related security or entering into other offsetting derivatives contracts.
At March 31, 2003, the Company recorded $482 million in market value guarantees. These guarantees are reflected as derivatives contracts in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The maximum gross contingent liability, excluding any potential offset from hedging activities of these contracts, is $13.9 billion, of which $5.7 billion is with CSG affiliates, and represents the obligation of the Company in the event that all the underlying securities are worthless, the likelihood of which the Company believes is remote.
24
Related Party Guarantees
For purposes of FIN 45, intercompany guarantees refer to any guarantees issued by the Company for obligations of any company controlled by CSG, the Companys ultimate parent (affiliates), unless it is one of the Companys consolidated subsidiaries. Guarantees issued by the Company for the obligations of its consolidated subsidiaries are excluded because they do not create any incremental liability.
The Company issues guarantees to customers with respect to certain obligations of its affiliates in the ordinary course of business, including, but not limited to, certain derivatives transactions. Failure to perform by an affiliate would require the Company to perform under the guarantee. The maximum contingent liability of future payments of guarantees issued to counterparties of affiliates as of March 31, 2003 was $1.5 billion. While the maximum contingent liability may be indicative of the extent to which such guarantees are used, the Company believes that the likelihood of nonperformance by these affiliates is remote. Excluded from the maximum contingent liability above are certain guarantees for which an estimate cannot be made because the exposure is unlimited and therefore impossible to estimate.
Indemnifications
Indemnifications issued in connection with asset sales
In connection with sales of certain assets or businesses, the Company has provided purchasers customary indemnification provisions based on changes in an underlying asset or liability of the indemnified party. These indemnification provisions are negotiated with the purchaser of the assets or businesses and vary in their scope and duration. These indemnification provisions generally shift the risk of certain unquantifiable and unknowable loss contingencies (e.g., relating to litigation, tax and intellectual property matters) from the purchaser to the seller, as known or quantifiable loss contingencies generally are reflected in the value of the assets or businesses being sold. The Company has determined that it is not possible to make an estimate of the maximum amount that the Company could be obligated to pay under these indemnification provisions. To date, the Companys actual payments arising from these indemnification provisions have been in connection with litigation matters and have not been material.
Private equity clawback arrangements
Under certain circumstances, the Company has provided investors in private equity funds sponsored by the Company guarantees of potential obligations of certain GPs to return amounts previously paid as carried interest to those GPs. To manage its exposure, the Company generally withholds a portion of carried interest distributions to cover any repayment obligations. The amounts of such guarantees are included in the contingent obligations disclosed in Note 8.
Tax gross-up arrangements
The Company provides indemnifications to certain counterparties in connection with its normal operating activities. The Company has determined that it is not possible to make an estimate of the maximum amount it could be obligated to pay. As a normal part of issuing its own securities, the Company typically agrees to reimburse holders for additional tax withholding charges or assessments resulting from changes in applicable tax laws. Securities that include these agreements to pay additional amounts generally also include a related redemption or call provision if the obligation to pay the additional amounts results from a change in law or its interpretation and the obligation cannot be avoided by the issuer taking reasonable steps to avoid the payment of additional amounts. Since such potential obligations are dependent on future changes in tax laws, the related liabilities the Company may incur as a result of such changes cannot be reasonably estimated. In light of the related call provisions typically included, the Company does not expect any potential liabilities to be material.
Other Guarantees
The Company is a member of numerous securities exchanges and has contractual arrangements with certain depositaries and clearing houses. It may be required to perform if another member is unable to do so or pursuant to its arrangements with the relevant depositary or clearing house. The Company has determined that it is not possible to estimate the maximum amount of these obligations.
25
The Company operates and manages its businesses through two operating segments: the Institutional Securities segment, consisting of the Investment Banking, Equity and Fixed Income divisions, and the Financial Services segment.
The Companys segments are managed based on types of products and services offered and their related client bases. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on income (loss) before income taxes, discontinued operations, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
In the Institutional Securities segment:
the Investment Banking division raises and invests capital and provides financial advice to companies throughout the United States and abroad. Through the Investment Banking division, the Company manages and underwrites offerings of securities, arranges private placements, provides client advisory and other services, pursues private equity and investments in a variety of areas, and provides venture capital to companies;
the Equity division engages in sales and trading in equity and equity-related products, including listed and OTC derivatives and risk management products, securities lending and borrowing and prime brokerage; and
the Fixed Income division is active in underwriting, trading and distributing fixed-income financial instruments and offers derivatives and risk management products.
The Financial Services segment provides investment advisory services to individual and high-net-worth individuals and the financial intermediaries that represent them. The range of services includes single-stock brokerage, hedging and sales of restricted securities and investment management products, such as third-party managed accounts and alternative investments. The presentation of Pershing results as Discontinued operations for the periods presented resulted in a material decrease in the Financial Services segments revenues as the Pershing business contributed materially to the net revenues of the Financial Services segment.
The Company allocates to its segments a pro rata share of certain centrally managed costs, such as leased facilities and equipment costs, employee benefits and certain general overhead expenses based upon specified amounts, usage criteria or agreed rates, and allocates interest expense based upon the type of asset. The segmental allocation of some costs, such as incentive bonuses, has been estimated.
The Company has not allocated merger-related and certain other costs and charges to its segments because none of these costs represent normal operating costs. Instead, these costs are in the Elimination & Other category in the table below. The Companys results from non-continuing private equity and distressed business are included in the Elimination & Other category in the table below. All other accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
26
The following table sets forth the net revenues from external sources, net interest revenue (expense), total expenses and income (loss) from continuing operations of the Companys segments and reconciles the Companys segment totals to the Companys condensed consolidated results.

(1) Income (loss) from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes and discontinued operations.
(2) The Company has not allocated merger-related costs to reported segments because none of these costs represents normal operating costs. These costs are included in the Elimination and Other category. Also included in this category are:
Intercompany accounts/intersegmental revenue charges that are eliminated in consolidation and other revenues and expenses that are not directly attributable to the Companys segments; and
The results for the broker-dealers, CSFBdirect LLC, DLJdirect Ltd. and Autranet, LLC up to the time of, and the gain resulting from, their sale in the first quarter of 2002.
The Companys principal operations are located in the United States. The Company maintains sales offices in Europe, Latin America and Asia. The Companys foreign revenues are not significant.
27
The Company is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. These actions have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and, unless otherwise specified, seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts. The Company believes, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but might be material to operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period. For a discussion of the Companys legal proceedings, see Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1.

The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial condition of Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc. and subsidiaries (formerly known as Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc. and subsidiaries) as of March 31, 2003, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated statement of financial condition of Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 19, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial condition from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We are a leading integrated investment bank serving institutional, corporate, government and individual clients. We are part of the Credit Suisse First Boston business unit, which we call CSFB, of Credit Suisse Group, or CSG, and our results do not necessarily reflect the overall performance of CSFB or CSG. When we use the terms we and our and the Company, we mean Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Companys principal operations are located in the United States. The Company maintains sales offices in Europe, Latin America and Asia. The Companys foreign revenues are not significant.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Our principal business activities, investment banking and private equity, securities underwriting and sales and trading are, by their nature, highly competitive and subject to general market conditions that include volatile trading markets and fluctuations in the volume of market activity. Consequently, our results have been, and are likely to continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations reflecting the impact of many factors beyond our control, including securities market conditions, the level and volatility of interest rates, competitive conditions, the size and timing of transactions and the geopolitical environment.
The poor global and U.S. economic conditions that existed in 2002 persisted through the first quarter of 2003. Concerns over the pace of economic recovery and the war in Iraq exacerbated the already adverse operating environment for financial services companies. With companies and investors focused on the war, equity markets were affected more by the direction of the conflict than by the fundamental business outlook. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard & Poors 500 were down 4% while the NASDAQ Composite Index recorded an increase of less than half a percent. The adverse economic environment continues to have a negative impact on the Company.
The continued poor performance of the equity markets, low inflation and expectations that the Federal Reserve Board would continue to hold interest rates steady increased investor demand for fixed income products, most notably high-yield debt.
The dollar value of U.S. equity and equity-related underwriting for the three months ended March 31, 2003 declined 57% compared to the same period of 2002. There were five U.S. initial public offerings, or IPOs, during the first quarter of 2003, the fewest in a quarter since 1990. The dollar value of U.S. debt underwriting climbed 3% compared to the first quarter of 2002 as companies continued to take advantage of the historically low interest rates by refinancing existing debt. Mergers and acquisitions activity in the United States decreased 25% compared to the first quarter of 2002, the lowest level since 1994.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On January 7, 2003, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Pershing unit, which was part of the Financial Services segment, to The Bank of New York Company, Inc., or BONY, for $2 billion in cash, the repayment of a $480 million subordinated loan and an additional contingent payment of up to $50 million based on future performance. The transaction closed on May 1, 2003. In connection with the closing, we entered into an amendment to the sale agreement that required us to deliver the Pershing unit with a total equity value of $645 million, an increase of $45 million. We expect to report in the second quarter of 2003 a gain from the completion of the sale of the Pershing unit of approximately $1.3 billion pre-tax and approximately $850 million after-tax. This is a result of the fact that approximately $500 million of goodwill and $900 million of acquired intangibles related to the Pershing unit that resulted from our acquisition by CSG and Credit Suisse First Boston were not recorded in our financial statements but were recorded in the financial statements of CSG and Credit Suisse First Boston. We have presented the assets and liabilities of our Pershing unit as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The operating results of the Pershing unit have been presented as Discontinued operations for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
On January 17, 2003, our U.S. broker-dealer, Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, was converted to the Delaware limited liability company Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, or CSFB LLC. The sale of Pershing was structured as a sale of the Companys U.S. broker-dealer, Donaldson, Lufkin, & Jenrette Securities Corporation (which was converted to the Delaware limited liability company Pershing LLC on January 17, 2003), and certain other of the Companys subsidiaries through which the Pershing business has been conducted. In anticipation of the sale, the businesses of Pershing LLC that were not part of the
30
Pershing business, principally the Private Client Services business, were transferred to CSFB LLC or other subsidiaries in the first quarter of 2003.
On March 20, 2003, our immediate parent company, Credit Suisse First Boston, Inc., or CSFBI, transferred Credit Suisse First Boston Management Corporation to us as a capital contribution, and on March 21, 2003, the company was converted to the Delaware limited liability company Credit Suisse First Boston Management LLC, or Management LLC. Management LLC engages in derivatives transactions and holds a portfolio of private equity, distressed assets and real estate investments. The derivatives transactions entered into by Management LLC have historically been designed to hedge certain trading and other positions held by CSFB LLC. Prior to the transfer of Management LLC to us, our results of operations reflected only these trading and other positions held by CSFB LLC without the offsetting effect of the related hedges maintained by Management LLC. We believe the transfer of Management LLC to us should reduce our earnings volatility because our ongoing results of operations will reflect both the gains and losses from trading and the offsetting effect of the related hedges. The transfer also represents a further integration of the Credit Suisse First Boston business units U.S. operations into the Company.
The transfer of Management LLC was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to pooling-of-interest accounting because Management LLC and we were under the common control of CSFBI at the time of the transfer. Beginning with the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1, we have restated financial information to reflect the results of operations and financial position of Management LLC as if we had acquired it on November 3, 2000, the date that we were acquired by CSFBI.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In order to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions based on judgment and available information. The reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses are affected by these estimates and assumptions.
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. We believe that the critical accounting policies discussed below involve the most complex judgments and assessments. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable.
Fair Value
As is the normal practice in our industry, the values we report in the condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to Financial instruments owned and Financial instruments sold, not yet purchased are in most cases based on fair value, with related unrealized and realized gains or losses included in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Commercial mortgage whole loans and certain residential mortgage whole loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value.
Fair value may be objective, as is the case for exchange-traded instruments, for which quoted prices in price-efficient and liquid markets generally exist, or as is the case where a financial instruments fair value is derived from actively quoted prices or pricing parameters. Fair value may also be subjective and dependent on varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors and pricing assumptions and other risks affecting the specific instrument. In addition, there are circumstances in which financial instruments that are valued on quoted prices may be distorted in times of market dislocation.
Controls Over Fair Valuation Process
Control processes are applied to ensure that the fair values reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate and measured on a reliable basis. These control processes include price verification procedures and reviews of models used to price financial instruments by personnel with relevant expertise who are independent of the trading and investment functions. For further discussion of our risk management policies and procedures, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
31
Valuation
The fair value of the vast majority of our financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold, not yet purchased is based on quoted market prices or observable market parameters or is derived from such prices or parameters. The fair value of our cash positions in U.S. government and agency securities and corporate debt, equity and commercial paper is based principally on observable market prices (i.e., dealer quotes or exchange-traded prices) or derived from observable market prices. For those cash positions in corporate debt and equity that are thinly traded or not quoted, more judgment is required in the determination of fair value. Examples of cash products with no quoted prices or that are thinly traded are certain high-yield debt, certain collateralized mortgage obligations, distressed debt securities and equity securities that are not publicly traded. Generally, the techniques used to determine fair value for these positions are based on the type of product. For certain debt securities for which market prices are not available, value is based on yields reflecting the perceived risk of the issuer or country rating and the maturity of the security, which may involve some judgment. For other thinly traded securities, including convertible securities and asset-backed securities, internal and external models are used that take into consideration the underlying stock price, dividend rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, prepayment rates and equity market volatility. For certain asset-backed securities, pricing models employing prepayment scenarios and Monte Carlo simulations are used.
Securities held in the distressed portfolio are typically issued by private companies under significant financial burden and/or near bankruptcy. Due to the less liquid nature of these securities, valuation techniques often include earnings-multiple analyses, similar market transactions and default recovery analyses. In addition, liquidity and credit concerns are also considered in the determination of fair value. All of these factors contribute to significant subjectivity in the valuation of these securities. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair value of our distressed securities was $276 million and $208 million, respectively.
For residential mortgage loans, valuations are based on market information on similar loans trading in the current market. Proprietary models employing prepayment scenarios and Monte Carlo simulations are also used. Commercial real estate loans are valued using origination spreads, loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, geographic location, prepayment considerations and current yield curves. In addition, current written offers or contract prices are considered in the valuation process.
Our derivatives portfolio includes both exchange-traded and over-the-counter, or OTC, derivatives. The fair value of exchange-traded derivatives is typically derived from the observable exchange price and/or observable market parameters. Our primary exchange-traded derivatives include futures and certain option agreements. OTC derivatives include forwards, swaps and options on foreign exchange, interest rates, equities and credit products. Fair values for OTC derivatives are determined on the basis of internally developed proprietary models using various input parameters. The input parameters include those characteristics of the derivative that have a bearing on the economics of the instrument and market parameters. In well-established derivatives markets, the use of a particular model may be widely accepted. For example, the Black-Scholes model is widely used to calculate the fair value of many types of options. These models are used to calculate the fair value of OTC derivatives and to facilitate the effective risk management of the portfolio. The determination of the fair value of many derivatives involves only limited subjectivity because the required input parameters are observable in the marketplace. The pricing of these instruments is referred to as direct. For other more complex derivatives, subjectivity relating to the determination of input parameters reduces price transparency. The pricing of these instruments is referred to as indirect. Specific areas of subjectivity include long-dated volatilities on OTC option transactions and recovery rate assumptions for credit derivative transactions. Uncertainty of pricing assumptions and liquidity are also considered as part of the valuation process. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, substantially all of the replacement values reported in our consolidated statement of financial condition were derived using direct pricing.
Private Equity Investments
Private equity and other long-term investments include direct investments and investments in partnerships that make private equity and related investments in various portfolio companies and funds. The Company categorizes its private equity investments and other long-term investments into two categories, public securities and private securities. Private securities are further classified as CSFB-managed funds, direct investments or funds managed by third parties. These investments generally have no readily available market or may be otherwise restricted as to resale; therefore, these investments are carried at estimated fair value. Fair value for private equity and other long-term investments is based upon a number of factors.
32
Public Securities
Publicly traded investments are valued based upon readily available market quotes with the appropriate adjustments for liquidity as a result of holding large blocks and/or having trading restrictions. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair value of public securities in our private equity portfolio was $50 million and $57 million, respectively.
Private Securities
CSFB-Managed Funds. CSFB-managed funds are funds for which CSFB acts as fund advisor and makes investment decisions. The investments in the funds are priced taking into account a number of factors, such as the most recent round of financing involving unrelated new investors, earnings multiple analyses using comparable companies or discounted cash flow analysis. The investments in fund of funds partnerships are valued based on periodic statements received from the underlying fund manager. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair value of CSFB-managed funds was $456 million and $486 million, respectively.
Direct Investments. Direct investments are generally side-by-side investments in portfolio companies of CSFB-managed or third-party-managed funds. The investments are priced in accordance with the procedures for CSFB-managed or third-party-managed funds. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair value of direct investments in our private equity portfolio was $276 million and $288 million, respectively.
Funds Managed by Third Parties. Funds managed by third parties are limited partnership interests in a fund managed by an external fund manager. These funds are valued based on periodic statements received from the general partner of the fund. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the fair value of funds managed by third parties in our private equity portfolio was $122 million and $125 million, respectively.
Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of operating loss carry-forwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases at the balance sheet date.
The realization of deferred tax assets on temporary differences is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The realization of deferred tax assets on net operating losses is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during the periods prior to their expiration, if any. Periodically, management evaluates whether deferred tax assets can be realized. If management considers it more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a corresponding valuation allowance is established. In evaluating whether deferred tax assets can be realized, management considers projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies.
This evaluation requires significant management judgment, primarily with respect to projected taxable income. The estimate of future taxable income can never be predicted with certainty. It is derived from budgets and strategic business plans but is dependent on numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control. Substantial variance of actual results from estimated future taxable profits, or changes in our estimate of future taxable profits, could lead to changes in deferred tax assets being realizable or considered realizable, and would require a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance.
As of March 31, 2003, we had deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences that could reduce taxable income in future periods. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 includes deferred tax assets of $1.9 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, and deferred tax liabilities of $312 million and $336 million, respectively. Due to uncertainty concerning our ability to generate the necessary amount and mix of state and local taxable income in future periods, we maintain a valuation allowance against our state and local asset in the amount of $42 million and $46 million as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. See Note 5 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I.
Litigation Contingencies
From time to time, we are involved in a variety of legal, regulatory and arbitration matters in connection with the conduct of our business. It is inherently difficult to predict the outcome of many of these matters, particularly those cases in which the matters are brought on behalf of various classes of claimants, seek damages of unspecified or indeterminate amounts or involve novel legal claims. In presenting the consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates regarding the outcome of legal, regulatory and arbitration matters and takes a charge to income when losses with respect to such matters are probable and
33
can be reasonably estimated. Charges, other than those taken periodically for cost of defense, are not established for matters when losses cannot be reasonably estimated. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and currently available information and involve a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and nature of the litigation, claim or proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of legal counsel and other advisers, our defenses and our experience in similar cases or proceedings. See Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The assets and liabilities of Pershing as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 have been presented as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The results of operations for Pershing for all periods presented have been presented as Discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The presentation of the Pershing results as Discontinued operations for the periods presented results in a decrease in commission revenues and net interest and a material decrease in the Financial Services segment net revenues as the Pershing business contributed materially to the net revenues of that segment. We present the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as if the assets and liabilities of Pershing as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were not presented as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and the results of operations of Pershing were not presented as Discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Companys businesses are materially affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally, including geopolitical events. Unpredictable or adverse market and economic conditions have adversely affected and may in the future adversely affect our results of operations. See BusinessCertain Factors That May Affect Our Results of Operations in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002
The Companys results (including non-continuing private equity and distressed business included in Elimination and Other) and those of the Fixed Income business of the Institutional Securities segment were impacted by the transfer of Management LLC to us as a capital contribution on March 20, 2003. See Recent Developments.
The Company recorded net income of $83 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to net income of $366 million in the same period in 2002, with both revenues and expenses declining. The decrease in net income was due primarily to the pre-tax gain of $528 million from the sale of three of the Companys broker-dealers, CSFBdirect LLC, DLJdirect Ltd. and Autranet, LLC, in the first quarter of 2002.
Net revenues decreased $790 million, or 40%, to $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as principal transactions, investment banking, commissions and other revenues all declined compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decline in principal transactions was primarily in fixed income products, with mortgages and investment-grade products down compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decline in investment banking revenues reflects the depressed market conditions and reduced mergers and acquisitions and equity new issuance activity. Commissions declined as
34
a result of lower volumes and competitive pricing pressure reflecting the weakness in the equity markets. Net interest revenues increased, reflecting the favorable interest rate environment. Other revenues decreased as a result of the gain on the sales of CSFBdirect LLC, DLJdirect Ltd. and Autranet, LLC in the first quarter of 2002. Net revenues, excluding the $528 million gain on the sale of the broker-dealers, declined 18% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002.
Expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of reduced headcount, continuing cost-reduction efforts and the impact from the sale of CSFBdirect LLC, DLJdirect Ltd. and Autranet, LLC. See Expenses.
Results by Segment
The discussion of net revenues is presented by segment. We operate and manage our business through two principal operating segments: the Institutional Securities segment and the Financial Services segment. The Institutional Securities segment consists of the Investment Banking, Equity and Fixed Income divisions. Our segments are managed based on types of products and services offered and their related client bases. We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on income (loss) from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes and discontinued operations.
For divisional reporting of net revenues and expenses, equity capital market underwriting fees are shared between the Investment Banking division and the Equity division and debt capital market underwriting fees are shared between the Investment Banking division and the Fixed Income division.
The cost structure of each of our segments is broadly similar to that of the Company as a whole, and, consequently, the discussion of expenses is presented on a company-wide basis. The Company allocates to its segments a pro rata share of certain centrally managed costs, such as leased facilities and equipment costs, employee benefits and certain general overhead expenses based upon specified amounts, usage criteria or agreed rates, and allocates interest expense based upon the type of asset. The allocation of some costs, such as incentive bonuses, has been estimated. The timing and magnitude of changes in our incentive bonus accrual can have a significant effect on our operating results for a given period.

Institutional Securities
The Institutional Securities segment includes the Investment Banking, Equity and Fixed Income divisions. The Investment Banking division raises and invests capital and provides financial advice to companies throughout the United States and abroad. Through the Investment Banking division, we manage and underwrite offerings of securities, arrange private placements, provide financial advisory and other services, pursue private equity investments in a variety of areas and provide venture capital to companies. The Equity division trades, originates and distributes equity securities and equity-related derivatives. The Fixed Income division trades, originates and distributes fixed income securities and fixed income-related derivatives, and places private debt instruments.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002
Net revenues for the Institutional Securities segment were $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, a decrease of 22%, reflecting declines in Investment Banking, Equity and Fixed Income net revenues.
Investment Banking net revenues decreased 38% to $279 million, primarily due to the industry-wide slowdown in mergers and acquisitions and equity new issuance activities. This decline was partially offset by improved private equity net revenues as a result of the sales of certain investments.
Equity net revenues declined 34% to $271 million primarily due to lower commission revenue and new issuance activity. Commission revenues decreased primarily as a result of reduced customer trading of listed and OTC cash products and certain derivatives activity. Commissions from cash products also decreased due to competitive pricing pressure. New issuance revenues from equity capital markets activity declined, reflecting the overall weakness in the U.S. equity markets that discouraged new issuances.
Fixed Income net revenues decreased 3% to $614 million, primarily due to lower net revenues from investment-grade debt trading. Net revenues from investment-grade products were higher during the three months ended March 31, 2002 due to the tightening of credit spreads and the movement to higher credit quality issuers in 2002 in the wake of the Enron and Worldcom scandals.
Financial Services
The Financial Services segment provides investment advisory services to high-net-worth individual investors and the financial intermediaries that represent them. The range of services includes single-stock brokerage, hedging and sales of restricted securities and investment management products such as third-party managed accounts and alternative investments. The presentation of the Pershing results as Discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods presented results in a material decrease in the Financial Services segment net revenues as the Pershing business contributed materially to the net revenues of that segment.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002
Net revenues for the Financial Services segment were $55 million and $87 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, a decrease of 37%. The decrease reflects a weak equity market environment, which discouraged new equity issuances and reduced transaction flows.
36
Expenses
The normal operating cost structure of each of our segments is broadly similar to that of the Company as a whole. Merger-related and certain other costs and charges, which can be significant, do not represent normal operating costs and are not allocated to the segments. For these reasons, the discussion of expenses is presented on a company-wide basis.
The following table sets forth employee compensation and benefits expenses, other expenses and total expenses of the Company:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002
Total expenses declined $355 million, or 24%, to $1.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $1.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The decrease was principally due to CSFBs continuing cost-reduction efforts and the impact of the sale of the CSFBdirect LLC, DLJdirect Ltd. and Autranet, LLC businesses in the first quarter of 2002.
Employee compensation and benefits declined 24% in the first quarter of 2003 due to significant headcount reductions and lower bonus accruals.
Other expenses principally consist of occupancy and equipment rental; brokerage, clearing and exchange fees; communications; professional fees and merger-related costs. Other expenses declined 26% in the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of reduced headcount, lower levels of business, decreased discretionary spending, including advertising, communications, travel and entertainment and continuing cost-reduction efforts. Included in other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 is approximately $70 million in expenses related to lease terminations and losses on subleases.
Provision for Taxes
Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2002
The provision for income taxes from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was $31 million and $186 million, respectively. Excluded from the provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was a provision of $13 million and $15 million, respectively, from discontinued operations.
The effective tax rate for continuing operations changed from an expense of 35.6% in the first quarter of 2002 to an expense of 35.0% in the first quarter of 2003.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity Management Oversight
We believe that maintaining access to liquidity is fundamental for firms operating in the financial services industry. We have therefore established a comprehensive process for the management and oversight of our liquidity, funding and capital strategies. CSFBs Capital Allocation and Risk Management Committee, or CARMC, has primary oversight responsibility for these functional disciplines. CARMC periodically reviews and approves our liquidity management policies and targets and reviews our liquidity position and other key risk indicators. The corporate treasury department is responsible for the management of liquidity, long-term funding and capital, as well as relationships with creditor banks and investors. It also maintains regular contact with rating agencies and regulators on liquidity and capital issues.
See Liquidity Risk in BusinessCertain Factors That May Affect Our Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
37
Balance Sheet
Significant portions of our assets are highly liquid, with the majority consisting of securities inventories and collateralized receivables, which fluctuate depending on the levels of proprietary trading and customer business. Collateralized receivables consist primarily of securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities borrowed, both of which are primarily secured by U.S. government and agency securities and marketable corporate debt and equity securities. In addition, we have significant receivables from customers, brokers, dealers and others, that turn over frequently. To meet client needs as a securities dealer, we carry significant levels of trading inventories.
In addition to these liquid assets, as part of our investment banking and fixed income markets activities we also maintain positions in less liquid assets, such as certain mortgage whole loans, distressed securities, high-yield debt securities, asset-backed securities and private equity investments. These assets may be relatively illiquid at times, especially during periods of market stress. We typically fund a significant portion of less liquid assets, such as private equity investments, with long-term borrowings and stockholders equity. Mortgage whole loans, distressed securities, high-yield debt and asset-backed securities are generally financed with short-term unsecured financing or repurchase agreements, as well as long-term borrowings and stockholders equity.
Because of changes relating to customer needs, economic and market conditions and proprietary trading and other strategies, our total assets or the individual components of total assets may vary significantly from period to period. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, our total assets were $248.9 billion and $236.9 billion, respectively.
Included below is a discussion of our long-term contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements and less liquid assets.
Funding Sources and Strategy
The majority of our assets are funded by collateralized short-term borrowings, which include securities sold under agreements to repurchase and securities loaned. Other significant funding sources include commercial paper, short-term borrowings from affiliates, payables to customers, brokers, dealers and others, long-term borrowings and stockholders equity. Short-term funding is generally obtained at rates related to the federal funds rate, LIBOR or other money market indices, while long-term funding is generally obtained at fixed and floating rates related to U.S. Treasury securities or LIBOR, depending upon prevailing market conditions. We continually aim to broaden our funding base by geography, investor and funding instrument.
The majority of our unsecured funding originates largely from two sources: we borrow from affiliates (principally Credit Suisse First Boston, a Swiss bank and our indirect parent) and we issue debt securities directly to the market. We lend funds as needed to our operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, the latter typically to meet capital requirements of regulated subsidiaries. We generally try to ensure that loans to our operating subsidiaries and affiliates have maturities equal to or shorter than the maturities of our market borrowings.
Liquidity Planning and Measurement
We maintain a large secondary source of liquidity, principally through our broker-dealers and various other operating subsidiaries. We have historically been able to access significant liquidity through the secured funding markets (securities sold under agreements to repurchase, securities loaned and other collateralized financing arrangements), even in periods of market stress. We continually monitor overall liquidity by tracking the extent to which unencumbered marketable assets and other alternative unsecured funding sources exceed both contractual obligations and anticipated contingent commitments.
The principal measure we use to monitor our liquidity position is the liquidity barometer, which estimates the time period over which the adjusted market value of unencumbered assets plus committed revolving credit facilities exceeds the aggregate value of our maturing unsecured liabilities plus anticipated contingent commitments. The adjusted market value of unencumbered assets includes a reduction from market value, or haircut, reflecting the amount that could be realized by pledging an asset as collateral to a third-party lender in a secured funding transaction. Contingent commitments include such things as letters of credit, guarantees and collateralization requirements related to credit ratings. Our objective, as mandated by CARMC, is to ensure that the liquidity barometer equals or exceeds one year. We believe this will enable us to carry out our business plans during extended periods of market stress, while minimizing, to the extent possible, disruptions to our business.
38
Contractual Obligations
We have contractual obligations to make future payments under long-term debt, long-term non-cancelable lease agreements and other long-term obligations.

Our long-term borrowings are unsecured. As of March 31, 2003, the weighted average maturity of our long-term borrowings was approximately 5.4 years. Our lease obligations are primarily for our principal offices in New York City and other locations. Excluded from the table above are $157 million in operating lease obligations associated with Pershing that have been transferred to BONY.
The Company has contractual obligations related to certain information technology, equipment leases and software licenses. As of March 31, 2003, these obligations were not significant. The Company had no capital lease obligations as of March 31, 2003.
For information on these and other material commitments, see Notes 7, 12 and 13 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1.

Revolving Credit Facility
We maintain a committed revolving credit facility with various banks that, if drawn upon, would bear interest at short-term rates related to either the federal funds rate or LIBOR. In May 2002, we replaced our $3.5 billion revolving credit facility with a 364-day $3.0 billion revolving facility available to the Company as borrower. Proceeds from borrowings under this facility can be used for general corporate purposes, and this facility is guaranteed by CSG. The facility contains customary covenants that we believe will not impair our ability to obtain funding. As of March 31, 2003, no borrowings were outstanding under this facility. We expect to reduce the size of our revolving credit facility when we replace it, on substantially similar terms, in May 2003.
39
Long-term Funding
We issue long-term debt through U.S. and Euromarket medium-term note programs, as well as syndicated and privately placed offerings around the world.
Under the Companys currently effective $10 billion shelf registration statement on file with the SEC, which allows the Company to issue from time to time senior and subordinated debt securities and warrants to purchase such securities, the Company had at May 12, 2003 approximately $6.5 billion available for issuance.
For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company issued $525 million in medium-term notes under this shelf registration statement and $1.3 billion in medium-term notes under a $5 billion Euromarket program established in July 2001.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, approximately $590 million of medium-term notes were repaid.
Credit Ratings
Our access to the debt capital markets and our borrowing costs depend significantly on our credit ratings. These ratings are assigned by agencies, which may raise, lower or withdraw their ratings or place us on creditwatch with positive or negative implications at any time. Credit ratings are important to us when competing in certain markets and when seeking to engage in longer-term transactions, including OTC derivatives. We believe agencies consider several factors in determining our credit ratings, including such things as earnings performance, business mix, market position, financial strategy, level of capital, risk management policies and practices and management team, in addition to the broader outlook for the financial services industry.
A reduction in our credit ratings could limit our access to capital markets, increase our borrowing costs, require us to provide additional collateral and allow counterparties to terminate transactions under certain of our trading and collateralized financing contracts. This, in turn, could reduce our liquidity and negatively impact our operating results and financial position. Our liquidity planning takes into consideration those contingent events associated with a reduction in our credit ratings.
At May 12, 2003, our ratings and ratings outlooks were as follows:

Capital Resources
Certain of our businesses are capital intensive. In addition to normal operating requirements, capital is required to cover financing and regulatory capital charges on securities inventories, private equity investments and investments in fixed assets. Our overall capital needs are regularly reviewed to ensure that our capital base can appropriately support the anticipated needs of our business and the capital requirements (regulatory and other) of our subsidiaries. Based upon these analyses, we believe that our capitalization is adequate for current operating levels.
Regulated Subsidiaries
Our principal wholly owned subsidiary, CSFB LLC, is a registered broker-dealer, registered futures commission merchant and member firm of the New York Stock Exchange Inc., or NYSE. As such, it is subject to the NYSEs net capital rule, which conforms to the uniform net capital rule pursuant to Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the alternative method permitted by this rule, the required net capital may not be less than two percent of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions or four percent of segregated funds, whichever is greater. If a member firms capital is less than four percent of aggregate debit balances, the NYSE may require the firm to reduce its business. If a member firms net capital is less than five percent of aggregate debit balances, the NYSE may prevent the firm from expanding its business and declaring cash dividends. As of March 31, 2003, CSFB LLCs net capital of approximately $2.2 billion was 46% of aggregate debit balances and in excess of the minimum requirement by approximately $1.9 billion. Our OTC derivatives dealer subsidiary, Credit Suisse First Boston Capital LLC, is also subject to the uniform net capital rule, but calculates its net capital requirements under Appendix F to Rule 15c3-1.
40
Certain other of our subsidiaries are subject to capital adequacy requirements. As of March 31, 2003, our subsidiaries complied with all applicable regulatory capital adequacy requirements.
Our broker-dealer subsidiary, Pershing LLC, was sold to BONY in connection with the sale of our Pershing unit on May 1, 2003.
Cash Flows
Our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows classify cash flow into three broad categories: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. These statements should be read in conjunction with Related Party Transactions as well as Notes 2 and 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1.
As permitted by generally accepted accounting principles, we present the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as if the assets and liabilities of Pershing as of March 31, 2003 were not presented as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition and the results of operations of Pershing were not presented as Discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003
Cash and cash equivalents increased $19 million to $499 million as of March 31, 2003. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was presented as if the assets and liabilities of Pershing were not presented as Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. As a result of this presentation, cash and cash equivalents increased $227 million, of which $208 million was related to Pershing and $19 million was related to our continuing operations. Cash provided by operating activities was $2.7 billion. The change in cash provided by operating activities resulted primarily from net increases in operating assets of $7.8 billion and net increases in operating liabilities of $10.2 billion, which occurred in the normal course of operations as a result of changes in customer needs, market conditions and proprietary trading and other strategies.
Cash of $524 million was used in investing activities. Prior to the acquisition of the Company by CSFBI, CSFBI issued its own debt to fund its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company is now providing most of this funding, resulting in increases in receivables from affiliates of $507 million.
Cash used in financing activities was $2.0 billion. The changes are due to increases in net payments for collateralized financing arrangements of $3.3 billion and a decrease of $590 million used to repay long-term borrowings offset by increases of $1.9 billion in long-term borrowings.
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2002
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $111 million to $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2002. Cash used in operating activities was $12.4 billion. The change in cash used in operating activities is primarily due to changes in operating assets and operating liabilities that occurred in the normal course of operations as a result of changes in customer needs, market conditions and proprietary trading and other strategies.
Cash of $4.1 billion was used in investing activities, reflecting the fact that the Company is providing funding to CSFBI, resulting in increases in receivables from affiliates of $4.8 billion. Prior to the acquisition of the Company by CSFBI, CSFBI issued its own debt to fund its operating, investing and financing activities.
Cash provided by financing activities was $16.4 billion, reflecting increases in net proceeds from financing arrangements of $5.5 billion and short-term borrowings of $7.0 billion used primarily to fund operating activities. In addition, the Company had increases of $4.1 billion of long-term borrowings, which were used to fund its investing and other activities.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We enter into off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Off-balance sheet arrangements are transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements with or for the benefit of an entity that is not consolidated with us, and which include guarantees and similar arrangements, retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity, and obligations and liabilities (including contingent obligations and liabilities) under material variable interests in unconsolidated entities for the purpose of providing financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.
We have not entered into any derivatives contracts indexed or linked to the stock of Credit Suisse Group.
Guarantees
In the course of our regular business, we provide guarantees and indemnifications that contingently obligate us to make payments to the guaranteed or indemnified party based on changes in an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed or indemnified party. We may also be contingently obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party based on another entitys failure to perform, or we may have an indirect guarantee of the indebtedness of others. We have provided customary indemnifications to purchasers in conjunction with the sale of assets or businesses, to investors in private equity funds sponsored by the firm regarding potential obligations of its employees to return amounts previously paid as carried interest and to investors in our securities and other arrangements to provide gross up payments if there is a withholding or deduction because of a tax, assessment or other governmental charge. On December 31, 2002, we adopted the new disclosure requirements for these guarantees in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation, or FIN, No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others - an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34, or FIN 45, which requires us to disclose our maximum potential payment obligations under these guarantees to the extent it is possible to estimate them. From time to time we guarantee the obligations of subsidiaries of CSG that are not our consolidated subsidiaries, and these guarantees are included in the scope of the disclosure requirements of FIN 45. On January 1, 2003, we adopted the new recognition requirements of FIN 45 that require us to recognize a liability for the fair value of the guaranteed obligations for guarantees issued or amended after December 31, 2002. The recognition of these liabilities did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. See Notes 1 and 13 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1.
Retained or Contingent Interests in Assets Transferred to Unconsolidated Entities
We originate and purchase commercial mortgages and purchase residential mortgages and sell these assets directly or through affiliates to special purpose entities that are, in most cases, qualified special purpose entities, or QSPEs. These QSPEs issue securities that are backed by the assets transferred to the QSPEs and pay a return based on the returns on those assets. Investors in these mortgage-backed securities typically have recourse to the assets in the QSPE. The investors and the QSPEs have no recourse to our assets.
These QSPEs are set up by our subsidiaries. Our principal broker-dealer subsidiary, CSFB LLC, underwrites and makes markets in these mortgage-backed securities. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125, or SFAS 140, a QSPE is not required to be consolidated with the transferor. Our mortgage-backed securitization activities are generally structured to use QSPEs, and assets and liabilities transferred to QSPEs are not included in our financial statements.
We may retain interests in these securitized assets if CSFB LLC holds the assets in connection with its underwriting or market-making activities. Retained interests in securitized financial assets are included in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value. Any changes in fair value of these retained interests are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income. We engage in these securitization activities to meet the needs of clients as part of our fixed income activities and to sell financial assets. These securitization activities do not provide a material source of our funding. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1.
42
Material Variable Interests in Unconsolidated Entities
We purchase loans and other debt obligations from clients for the purpose of securitization. The loans and other debt obligations are transferred by us directly, or indirectly through affiliates, to QSPEs or to variable interest entities, or VIEs, that issue collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs. CSFB LLC structures, underwrites and makes a market in these CDOs, and we may have retained interests in these CDOs in connection with CSFB LLCs underwriting and market-making activities. We believe it is reasonably possible that CDO VIEs in which we have a majority of the equity interests will be consolidated upon adoption of FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, which was issued by the FASB in January 2003. The estimated impact of consolidation of these CDO VIEs as of March 31, 2003 is an increase in financial instruments owned of approximately $653 million, of which $3 million, the amount of our retained interests, is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
We also have significant investments, including equity and debt, in CDO VIEs that we do not believe will be consolidated. The total assets in these CDOs as of March 31, 2003 were approximately $2.1 billion. The amount of our retained interests related to these investments in CDO VIEs was approximately $14 million as of March 31, 2003. These interests are included in financial instruments owned at fair value. Our retained interests in these CDO assets are included in the SFAS 140 disclosures in Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1.
We engage in these CDO transactions to meet the needs of clients. See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1.
OTHER COMMITMENTS
We have commitments under a variety of commercial arrangements that are not recorded as liabilities in our condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. These commitments are in addition to guarantees and other arrangements discussed in Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. These commitments include standby letters of credit, standby repurchase agreement facilities that commit us to enter into reverse repurchase agreements with customers at market rates, commitments to invest in various partnerships that make private equity and related investments in various portfolio companies and in other private equity funds and commitments to enter into resale agreements. See Note 12 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
CSG, through CSFBI, owns all of our outstanding voting common stock. We are involved in significant financing and other transactions, and have significant related party balances, with Credit Suisse First Boston and certain affiliates. We enter into these transactions in the ordinary course of business and believe that these transactions are on market terms that could be obtained from unrelated third parties. See Derivatives and Notes 4 and 13 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 for more information.
Certain of our directors, officers and employees and those of our affiliates and their subsidiaries maintain margin accounts with CSFB LLC and other affiliated broker-dealers in the ordinary course of business. In addition, certain of such directors, officers and employees had investments or commitments to invest in various private funds sponsored by us, pursuant to which we have made loans to such directors, officers and employees, to the extent permitted by law. CSFB LLC and other affiliated broker-dealers, from time to time and in the ordinary course of business, enter into, as principal, transactions involving the purchase or sale of securities from or to such directors, officers and employees and members of their immediate families.
LESS LIQUID ASSETS
Certain of our assets, including private equity and other long-term investments, distressed securities, high-yield debt, mortgage whole loans and other non-investment-grade debt, are not highly liquid.
Private Equity Activities
Our private equity and other long-term investment activities include direct investments and investments in partnerships that make private equity and related investments in various portfolio companies and funds. These investments are primarily in unlisted or illiquid equity or equity-related securities and are carried at estimated fair value based on a number of factors. See BusinessProducts and ServicesInvestment BankingPrivate Equity in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and Critical Accounting PoliciesFair Value in Part I, Item 2 for more information. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had investments of $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, and had commitments to invest up to an additional $1.7 billion at both March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002.
43
High-Yield Debt, Mortgage Whole Loans and Other Non-Investment-Grade Financial Instruments
We underwrite, trade and hold high-yield debt, mortgage whole loans, loan participations and other non-investment-grade financial instruments. Due to credit considerations, liquidity of secondary trading markets and vulnerability to general economic conditions, these financial instruments and loans generally involve greater risk than investment-grade financial instruments. We record high-yield debt, residential mortgage whole loans and other non-investment-grade financial instruments at fair value, with the exception of certain residential mortgage whole loans that are held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or market. We record commercial mortgage whole loans held for sale and loan participations at the lower of cost or fair value. Timing of the securitization of our mortgage whole loan inventory will affect the size of our positions at any given time. The following table sets forth our positions in these instruments as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002:

DERIVATIVES
We enter into various transactions involving derivatives. We use derivatives contracts for both trading and hedging purposes and to provide products for our clients. These derivatives include options, forwards, futures and swaps. In general, derivatives are contractual agreements that derive their values from the performance of underlying assets, interest or currency exchange rates or a variety of indices. Most of our derivatives transactions are considered trading positions. See Note 11 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 for more information.

Sources and Maturities of OTC Derivatives
The following table sets forth the distributions, by maturity, of substantially all of our exposure with respect to OTC derivatives as of March 31, 2003, after taking into account the effect of netting agreements. Fair values were determined on the basis of pricing models and other valuation methods. See Note 11 of the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 for more information.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
RISK MANAGEMENT AND VALUE AT RISK
For a description of the Companys risk management policies and procedures and value-at-risk, or VAR, model including such models assumptions and limitations, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk in Part II, Item 7A of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
MARKET RISK EXPOSURE
Trading Portfolios
The Company-wide trading portfolio VAR was approximately $43 million and $41 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
Due to the benefit of diversification, the Company-wide VAR is less than the sum of the individual components. The two main components of market risk, expressed in terms of theoretical fair values, had the following VAR:

Non-Trading Portfolios
We measure equity risk on non-trading positions using sensitivity analysis that estimates the potential change in the recorded value of the investments resulting from a 10% decline in the equity markets of G-21 nations and a 20% decline in the equity markets of non-G-21 nations. The estimated impact of equity risk on our non-trading financial instruments portfolio, which is mainly comprised of our private equity investments, was a decrease in the value of the non-trading portfolio of approximately $91 million and $96 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
The interest rate risk on non-trading positions is measured using sensitivity analysis that estimates the potential change in the value of the non-trading portfolio resulting from a 100 basis points decline in the interest rates of G-21 nations and a 200 basis points decline in the interest rates of non-G-21 nations. The estimated impact on pre-tax net income was an increase of approximately $18 million and $73 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
We do not have material foreign exchange or commodity price risks on our trading and non-trading portfolios.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures
Within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon and as of the date of the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
47
OTHER INFORMATION
Certain significant legal proceedings and matters have been previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The following is an update of such proceedings.
Litigation and Inquiries Relating to Enron
On April 12, 2003 an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against CSFB LLC and certain CSFB affiliates and other entities by two purchasers of securities issued by Osprey Trust for alleged violations of state and federal securities laws, statutory and common law fraud, and negligence and professional malpractice.
Governmental/Regulatory Inquiries Relating to IPO Allocation/Research-related Practices
On April 28, 2003, CSFB and other Wall Street firms finalized a global settlement with a coalition of state and federal regulators and self-regulatory organizations to settle the pending investigations into research analyst independence and certain IPO allocation practices. Consistent with the agreement in principle announced in December 2002, CSFB agreed, without admitting or denying the allegations, findings or conclusions, to pay a total of $200 million, consisting of (a) $150 million to settle the enforcement actions and (b) $50 million to fund third-party research to clients over five years. CSFB has also agreed to implement significant, industry-wide procedural and structural reforms to its business practices relating to both research analyst independence and the allocation of shares in IPOs.
Litigation Relating to IPO Allocation and Research
IPO Allocation-related Litigation
In the action brought against CSFB LLC on behalf of a putative class of issuers in IPOs in which CSFB LLC acted as lead manager, no member of the putative class sought to substitute as the putative class representative by the court-imposed deadline of April 16, 2003, and the court directed that the case be dismissed without prejudice.
Research-related Litigation
In the wake of publicity surrounding various governmental and regulatory investigations into the practices of equity research analysts, putative class action lawsuits were filed against CSFB LLC in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in March and April 2003 on behalf of purchasers of shares of Atmel Corporation and in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in April 2003 on behalf of purchasers of shares of Lantronix, Inc.
On February 6, 2003, the court granted CSFB LLCs and its co-defendants motion to dismiss the consolidated actions brought on behalf of purchasers of Covad Communications Co. and allowed plaintiffs 60 days to replead. CSFB LLC subsequently received an amended complaint.
The actions brought on behalf of purchasers of Razorfish, Inc. have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
AmeriServe Food Distribution Inc. Litigation
On March 21, 2003, in the matter filed by GSC Recovery, Inc., or GSC, in the Superior Court of New Jersey, against certain DLJ entities and certain officers, directors and other individuals and entities, the court denied GSCs motion for reconsideration of the courts order dismissing GSCs original complaint in part.
On April 17, 2003, in the matter filed in the County Court of Dallas, Texas by Ronald Rittenmeyer, in his capacity as plan administrator of the AFD Fund, the post-confirmation estate of the bankruptcy cases of AmeriServe and its affiliates, the appellate court upheld the trial courts decision to dismiss the two individual defendants, former DLJ employees who were AmeriServe board members, for lack of personal jurisdiction.
48
Independent Energy Holdings PLC Litigation
On April 3, 2003, the DLJ entities and lead plaintiffs executed a memorandum of understanding that, subject to the execution of a stipulation of settlement and appropriate court approvals, will settle all claims asserted against the DLJ entities in the matter.
We are involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings (including those described above and actions that have been separately described in previous filings) concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our businesses. Some of the actions have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and, unless otherwise specified, seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts. We believe, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition but might be material to operating results for any particular period, depending in part upon the operating results for such period. We intend to defend ourselves vigorously against all of the claims asserted in these matters.
ITEMS 2, 3 and 4:
Pursuant to General Instruction H of Form 10-Q, the information required by Items 2, 3 and 4 is omitted.
ITEM 5: Other Information
We have made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, in Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1, and in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 2, and from time to time may otherwise make in our public filings and press releases, forward-looking statements concerning our operations, economic performance and financial condition, as well as our future plans and strategic objectives. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, and we claim the protection afforded by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated herein or in any such other filings, releases or statements because of a number of factors, including without limitation, those detailed in BusinessCertain Factors That May Affect Our Results of Operations in Part I, Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, those discussed elsewhere herein, and in other public filings and press releases. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only our belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of future or conditional verbs such as will, should, would or could, and by words or phrases such as believe, expect, intend, estimate and similar expressions. By identifying these statements for you in this manner, we are alerting you to the possibility that our actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the results indicated in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.
