NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accounting and financial reporting policies of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase” or the “Firm”) and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and prevailing industry practices for interim reporting. Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. The unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expense and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could be different from these estimates. In addition, certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments have been included for a fair statement of this interim financial information. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in JPMorgan Chase’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 (“2002 Annual Report”).

NOTE 5 — SECURITIES FINANCING ACTIVITIES

For a discussion of the accounting policies relating to Securities Financing Activities, see Note 8 on page 80 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report. JPMorgan Chase enters into reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed transactions and securities loaned transactions primarily to finance the Firm’s inventory positions, to acquire securities that cover short positions and settle other securities obligations and to accommodate customers’ needs. Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried on the Consolidated balance sheet at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently sold or repurchased, plus accrued interest.

The following table details the components of securities financing activities at each of the dates indicated:

 
                 
    June 30,     December 31,  
(in millions)   2003     2002  
Securities purchased under resale agreements
  $ 68,414     $ 57,645  
Securities borrowed
    41,067       34,143  
 
Securities sold under repurchase agreements
  $ 144,581     $ 161,394  
Securities loaned
    2,653       1,661  
 

Similar transactions that do not meet the SFAS 140 definition of a repurchase agreement are accounted for as “buys” and “sells” rather than financing transactions. Notional amounts of transactions accounted for as purchases under SFAS 140 were $4 billion and $8 billion at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively. Notional amounts of transactions accounted for as sales under SFAS 140 were $7 billion and $13 billion at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively.

Securities borrowed and securities lent are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Securities borrowed consist primarily of government and equity securities. JPMorgan Chase monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and lent on a daily basis and calls for additional collateral when appropriate. Fees received or paid are recorded in Interest income or Interest expense.

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

At June 30, 2003, the Firm had received securities as collateral that can be repledged, delivered or otherwise used with a fair value of approximately $256 billion. This collateral was generally obtained under reverse repurchase or securities borrowing agreements. Of these securities, approximately $245 billion were repledged, delivered or otherwise used, generally as collateral under repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements or to cover short sales.

NOTE 8 — SECURITIZATION AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Refer to Note 11 on pages 83-87 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report for a further description of special-purpose entities (“SPEs”) and the Firm’s policy on consolidation relating to these entities. In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, which establishes guidance for determining when an entity should consolidate another entity that meets the definition of a variable interest entity. Entities that would be assessed for consolidation under FIN 46 are typically SPEs, although non-SPE-type entities may also be subject to the guidance. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company will absorb a majority of the expected losses, will receive a majority of the expected residual returns, or both. Transferors to qualified special-purpose entities (“QSPEs”), which represent a majority of the Firm’s loan securitization transactions discussed below, and certain other interests in a QSPE, are not subject to the requirements of FIN 46. Effective February 1, 2003, the Firm implemented FIN 46 for variable interest entities created or modified after January 31, 2003, in which the Firm has an interest. For variable interest entities created prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 are effective July 1, 2003.

JPMorgan Chase is involved with SPEs, or variable interest entities, in three broad categories of transactions: loan securitizations, multi-seller conduits and client intermediation. Assets held by loan securitization-related SPEs at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, were approximately $93.0 billion and $90.6 billion, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the Firm securitized $9.4 billion and $13.8 billion of loans, respectively, compared with $9.3 billion and $14.7 billion, respectively for the same periods in 2002. Assets held by multi-seller conduits for which the Firm acts as administrator at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, were approximately $14.2 billion and $17.5 billion, respectively. Assets held by certain client intermediation-related SPEs at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, were approximately $21.1 billion and $17.7 billion, respectively.

Item 1 (continued)

Loan Securitizations

JPMorgan Chase securitizes, sells and services residential mortgage, credit card, automobile and commercial loans. Assets sold to SPEs as part of the securitization process are not reflected in JPMorgan Chase’s Consolidated balance sheet (except for retained interests as described below) but are included on the balance sheet of the SPE purchasing the assets. Assets held by securitization-related SPEs as of June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, were as follows:

 
                 
(in billions)   June 30, 2003     December 31, 2002  
Credit card receivables
  $ 40.5     $ 40.2

Total
  $ 13.8     $ 204.9     $ 14.7     $ 98.9  

 

In addition to the amounts set forth in the tables above, JPMorgan Chase sold residential mortgage loans totaling $31.1 billion and $12.5 billion during the second quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively, primarily as GNMA, FNMA and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities, which resulted in pre-tax gains of $231 million and $73 million, respectively. The higher 2003 pre-tax gains, when compared with gains on residential mortgage loans sold in 2002, were attributable to higher volumes and margins. During the first six months of 2003 and 2002, JPMorgan Chase sold residential mortgage loans totaling $54.1 billion and $29.0 billion, respectively. These sales resulted in gains of $458 million and $133 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, JPMorgan Chase had, with respect to its credit card master trusts, $6.1 billion and $7.3 billion, respectively, related to its undivided interest, and $1.0 billion and $978 million, respectively, related to its subordinated interest in accrued interest and fees on the securitized receivables.

Part I
Item 1 (continued)

The Firm maintains retained interests in its securitized and sold loans, generally in the form of senior or subordinated interest-only strips, subordinated tranches, escrow accounts and servicing rights. The Firm maintains escrow accounts, up to predetermined limits for credit card and automobile securitizations, to help protect investors in the unlikely event of deficiencies in cash flows owed to them. The amounts available in such escrow accounts are recorded in Other assets and, as of June 30, 2003, totaled $482 million and $93 million for credit card and automobile securitizations, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, these amounts were $510 million and $94 million, respectively.

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

Total
  $ 1,044     $ 1,021  
 
(a)   Includes approximately $289 million of retained interests resulting from the acquisition of Advanta’s mortgage operations.
(b)   Unrealized gains (losses) (pre-tax) recorded in Stockholders’ equity that relate to retained securitization interests totaled $217 million, $(1) million and $5 million for residential mortgage, credit card and automobile, respectively.
 

The table below outlines the key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the fair values noted above at June 30, 2003, of the remaining retained interests to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in those assumptions:

 
                                 
(in millions)   Mortgage   Credit Card   Automobile   Commercial
Weighted-average life   1.5–1.9 years   6–17 months   1.5 years   0.7–5.6 years
 
Prepayment rate   29.4–48.6% CPR   13.8–15.8%   1.64% WAC/WAM     NA (a)
Impact of 10% adverse change
  $ (29 )   $ (3 )   $ (9 )      
Impact of 20% adverse change
    (52 )     (6 )     (18 )      
 
Loss assumption     0–3.4 % (b)     5.6–5.8 %     0.6 %     NA (c)
Impact of 10% adverse change
  $ (31 )   $ (10 )   $ (5 )      
Impact of 20% adverse change
    (62 )     (20 )     (9 )      
Discount rate
    13–30 % (d)     6.7–12 %     3.7 %     3.5–15.5 %

  $ (16 )   $ (1 )   $ (1 )   $ (4 )
Impact of 20% adverse change
    (31 )     (2 )     (1 )     (7 )
 
 
(a)   Not applicable, since predominantly all of these retained interests are not subject to prepayment risk.
(b)   Expected credit losses for prime mortgage securitizations are minimal and are incorporated into other assumptions.
(c)   Not applicable, as modeling assumptions for predominantly all of the commercial retained interests consider overcollateralization coverage and cash collateralized credit default swaps.
(d)   During the first six months of 2003, the Firm sold residual interests of approximately $162 million relating to sub-prime mortgage securitizations via Net Interest Margin (“NIM”) securitizations. The Firm has retained residual interests in these and prior NIM securitizations of approximately $139 million, which are valued using a 30% discount rate.
CPR – Constant prepayment rate
WAC / WAM – Weighted-average coupon/weighted-average maturity
 

The sensitivity analysis in the preceding table is hypothetical. Changes in fair value based on 10% and 20% variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated easily, because the relationship between the change in the assumptions and the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect that a change in a particular assumption may have on fair value is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another assumption, which might counteract or magnify the sensitivities.

Multi-seller Conduits

JPMorgan Chase serves as the administrator and provides contingent liquidity support and limited credit enhancement for several commercial paper conduits. JPMorgan Chase Bank had commitments to provide liquidity to these vehicles in an amount up to $21.8 billion at June 30, 2003, and $23.5 billion at December 31, 2002. For certain multi-seller conduits, JPMorgan Chase also provides limited credit enhancement, primarily through the issuance of letters of credit. Commitments under these letters of credit totaled $3.4 billion at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002. Commercial paper issued by conduits for which the Firm acts as administrator aggregated $14.2 billion at June 30, 2003, and $17.5 billion at December 31, 2002. The commercial paper issued is backed by sufficient collateral, credit enhancements and commitments to provide liquidity to support receiving at least an A-1, P-1 and, in certain cases, an F1 rating.

The Firm would be required to provide funding under the liquidity commitments in the event that funding for such SPEs became unavailable in the commercial paper market. In addition, if JPMorgan Chase Bank were downgraded below A-1, P-1 and, in certain cases, F1, the Firm could also be required to provide funding under these commitments, since commercial paper rated below A-1, P-1 or F1 would generally not be issuable by the vehicle. In these circumstances, JPMorgan Chase Bank could either replace itself as liquidity provider or facilitate the sale or refinancing of the assets held in the SPE in other markets. Under the letters of credit, the Firm could be required to fund the difference between the commercial paper outstanding and amounts drawn under the liquidity commitment, if any.

For the purposes of FIN 46, the Firm’s maximum exposure to loss to multi-seller conduits is defined as the aggregate notional amounts of liquidity facilities and credit enhancement disclosed above. However, the Firm believes that its credit exposure to these multi-seller conduit transactions is more limited. For the most part, the Firm is not required to fund under the liquidity facilities if the assets in the SPE are in default. Additionally, the Firm’s obligations under the letters of credit are secondary to the risk of first loss provided by the client or other third parties – for example, by the overcollateralization of the SPE with the assets sold to it.

Client Intermediation

In its capacity as a financial intermediary, the Firm has created structured commercial loan vehicles that are managed by third parties. The vehicles purchase loans from third parties or the Firm’s syndication and trading functions, funded by commercial paper issuance. Investors provide collateral and have a first risk of loss up to the amount of collateral pledged. The amount of the commercial paper issued by these vehicles, as of June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, totaled $7.0 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively. JPMorgan Chase Bank had a commitment to provide liquidity to these SPEs in an amount up to $9.2 billion at June 30, 2003, and $12.0 billion at December 31, 2002. For purposes of FIN 46, the Firm’s maximum exposure to loss to the structured commercial loan vehicles is defined as the aggregate notional amounts of the liquidity facilities.

Part I
Item 1 (continued)

JPMorgan Chase also structures SPEs to modify the cash flows of third-party assets to create investments with specific risk profiles, or to assist clients in the efficient management of other risks. For example, the Firm structures credit-linked notes in which an SPE purchases highly-rated assets (such as asset-backed securities) and enters into a credit derivative contract with the Firm to obtain exposure to a referenced credit not held by the SPE. Credit-linked notes are issued by the SPE to transfer the risk of the referenced credit to the investors in the SPE. As of June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, the aggregate assets held by the credit-linked note vehicles were $11.8 billion and $7.9 billion, respectively. The fair value of the Firm’s derivative contracts with these vehicles was $0.5 billion at June 30, 2003, and was recorded in the Consolidated financial statements. Additionally, JPMorgan Chase structures, on behalf of clients, vehicles in which the Firm transfers the risks and returns of the assets held by the SPE, typically debt and equity instruments, to clients through derivative contracts. The Firm’s net exposure arising from these intermediation transactions was not significant. The aggregate assets held by these client intermediation vehicles were $6.7 billion and $7.4 billion at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively. The Firm’s current exposure to all of these vehicles, reflected in its Consolidated financial statements as the fair value of the derivative contracts, was recorded in Trading assets or Trading liabilities, and changes in fair value were recognized in Trading revenue.

Furthermore, the Firm structures collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) and similar vehicles on behalf of clients. To facilitate such transactions, the Firm may warehouse assets or act as a derivative counterparty, trustee or placement agent for these vehicles, receiving market-based fees for services rendered. In certain limited circumstances, the Firm or its affiliates also act as asset manager for the vehicles. The total amount of assets in CDOs and similar vehicles for which the Firm or its affiliates act as asset manager was approximately $2.6 billion at June 30, 2003, and $2.4 billion at December 31, 2002. The Firm had invested approximately $111 million in these vehicles at June 30, 2003. These investments are recorded at fair value through earnings; thus, the Firm’s maximum exposure to loss to these vehicles is reflected in the Consolidated financial statements.

Finally, the Firm may enter into transactions with SPEs structured by other parties. These transactions can include, for example, acting as a derivative counterparty, liquidity provider, investor, underwriter, trustee or custodian. These transactions are conducted at arm’s length, and individual credit decisions are based upon the analysis of the specific SPE, taking into consideration the quality of the underlying assets. JPMorgan Chase records and reports these positions similarly to any other third-party transaction.

FIN 46 Transition

Effective July 1, 2003, the Firm applied FIN 46 to entities originated prior to February 1, 2003, and increased the Firm’s assets and liabilities by approximately $20 billion. The increase primarily related to multi-seller conduits; CDOs and similar vehicles for which the Firm or its affiliates act as the asset manager; and other entities in which the Firm’s trading functions have interests that absorb a majority of the expected residual loss in the structures. Interests in the vehicles described above that are held in the Firm’s trading and investment portfolios are recorded at fair value; thus, the Firm’s exposure to loss, the carrying value of its interests of $1.6 billion, is reflected in the Consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2003. In addition to entities that would be newly consolidated upon adoption of FIN 46, the Firm currently consolidates SPEs with assets of approximately $7.3 billion, primarily related to certain consumer securitizations, municipal bond securitizations and structured note vehicles that continue to be consolidated under FIN 46. In limited circumstances, the Firm would deconsolidate vehicles due to the adoption of FIN 46, primarily the wholly-owned Delaware statutory business trusts further discussed in Note 13 of this Form 10-Q and on pages 90–91 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

The Firm is also involved with other entities that could be deemed variable interest entities and, therefore, could be subject to FIN 46 disclosure requirements, even if they are not required to be consolidated under FIN 46. These entities could include investments in certain private third-party funds and direct investments made by JPMorgan Partners. Due to the complexity of the new guidance and the evolving interpretations among accounting professionals, the Firm continues to assess the disclosure requirements of FIN 46 on all of its relationships with variable interest entities.

Upon adoption of FIN 46, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests of variable interest entities are initially measured at the amounts at which such interests would have been carried had FIN 46 been effective when the Firm first met the condition to be considered the primary beneficiary. Any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and the amount of any previously recognized interest in the newly consolidated entity is required to be recognized as a cumulative effect of an accounting change. If it is not practical to determine the carrying amount, fair value may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the variable interest entity. The cumulative-effect adjustment to net income recorded at July 1, 2003, did not have a material impact on the Firm’s consolidated earnings or capital resources.

NOTE 9 – MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

For a further description of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and interest rate risk management of MSRs, see Note 12 on pages 87–88 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report. The following table summarizes the changes in residential MSRs during the first half of 2003 and 2002:

    7.82 %     8.20 %
 
CPR – Constant Prepayment Rate
 

The valuation allowance represents the extent to which the carrying value of MSRs exceeds its estimated fair value. Changes in the valuation allowance are the result of the recognition of impairment or the recovery of previously recognized impairment charges due to changes in market conditions during the period. The changes in the valuation allowance for MSRs were as follows:

 
                 
(in millions)   2003     2002  
Balance at January 1
  $ 1,634     $ 1,170  
Other-than-temporary impairment
    (274 )      
Impairment adjustment
    426       114  
 
           
Balance at June 30
  $ 1,786     $ 1,284  
 
           

 

During the second quarter of 2003, the Firm recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of its MSRs of $274 million, which permanently reduced the gross carrying value of the MSRs and the related valuation allowance, precluding subsequent reversals. This write-down had no impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Firm.

The Firm evaluates other-than-temporary impairment by reviewing changes in mortgage and other market interest rates over historical periods and then determines an interest rate scenario to estimate the amounts of the MSRs’ gross carrying value and the related valuation allowance that could be expected to be recovered in the foreseeable future. Any gross carrying value and related valuation allowance amount that are not expected to be recovered in the foreseeable future, based upon the interest rate scenario, are considered other than temporary.

NOTE 11 – RESTRUCTURING COSTS

All merger and restructuring costs associated with various programs announced prior to January 1, 2002, were reflected in the merger and restructuring costs caption of the Consolidated statement of income and had been incurred as of December 31, 2002. For a discussion of such costs incurred by the Firm in the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, see Note 5 on page 11 of the Firm’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Additionally, as indicated in Note 6 on page 78 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report, all previously recorded liabilities for merger charges of $1.25 billion and right-sizing charges of $300 million had been fully utilized as of December 31, 2002.

Restructuring costs associated with programs announced after January 1, 2002, are reflected in the related expense category of the Consolidated statement of income.

Goodwill
For the six months ended June 30, 2003, goodwill increased by $36 million, principally in connection with purchase accounting adjustments and acquisitions of institutional trust services businesses in the first six months of 2003. Goodwill was not impaired at June 30, 2003, or December 31, 2002, nor was any goodwill written off during the six months ended June 30, 2003 or 2002.

Other intangible assets

There were no purchased credit card relationship intangibles added during the six months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, other intangibles increased by $37 million, principally in connection with acquisitions and purchase accounting adjustments related to institutional trust services businesses, servicing assets on securitized automobile loans, and an acquisition of a retirement plan services business. All of the Firm’s acquired intangible assets are subject to amortization. The intangible assets listed below do not include MSRs; amortization of MSRs is recorded as a reduction of the related mortgage servicing fees within Fees and commissions. See Note 9 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of MSRs.

The components of other intangible assets were as follows:

 
                                         
(in millions)   June 30, 2003     Three Months Ended June 30,  
    Gross     Accumulated     Net Carrying     2003     2002

    709     389 (a)     320       9       10  
 
(a)   Includes $5 million of amortization expense related to servicing assets on securitized automobile loans, which is recorded in Fees and commissions, for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
 

Amortization expense of intangibles was $73 million and $92 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $147 million and $161 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Amortization expense related to the net carrying amount of other intangible assets at June 30, 2003, is estimated to be $149 million for the remainder of 2003 (exclusive of the $147 million recorded in the first six months of 2003), $287 million in 2004, $273 million in 2005, $257 million in 2006, $221 million in 2007 and $151 million in 2008.

NOTE 13 – GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN THE FIRM’S JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEFERRABLE INTEREST DEBENTURES

At June 30, 2003, the Firm had 13 wholly-owned Delaware statutory business trusts established by JPMorgan Chase, 12 of which were consolidated and had issued an aggregate $5.4 billion in capital securities, net of discount. However, a possible interpretation of FIN 46 would, upon its adoption on July 1, 2003, require JPMorgan Chase to deconsolidate these 12 trusts. As a result, the debentures issued by JPMorgan Chase to the 12 business trusts would be reflected as long-term debt of the Firm instead of capital securities issued by the trusts. The net impact on total assets and liabilities of this change will be immaterial.

As a result of this possible interpretation of FIN 46, JPMorgan Chase did not consolidate an additional business trust established in June 2003. The $1.1 billion of debentures issued by JPMorgan Chase to that trust are classified as Long-term debt at June 30, 2003. However, this possible interpretation of FIN 46 that requires deconsolidation of these trusts remains under review.

The debentures issued by these 13 entities to JPMorgan Chase, less the capital of the business trusts, continue to qualify as Tier 1 capital under the interim guidance issued by the Federal Reserve Board. For a discussion of these business trusts, see Note 16 on pages 90-91 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

NOTE 14 – PREFERRED STOCK OF SUBSIDIARY

On February 28, 2002, Chase Preferred Capital Corporation redeemed all 22 million outstanding shares of its 8.10% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A, at a redemption price per share of $25 plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, options issued under employee benefit plans to purchase common stock excluded from the computation were 363 million and 350 million, respectively.

NOTE 18 – EMPLOYEE STOCK-BASED INCENTIVES

For a discussion of the accounting policies relating to employee stock-based compensation, see Note 24 on pages 96–99 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

Effective January 1, 2003, JPMorgan Chase adopted SFAS 123 using the prospective transition method. SFAS 123 requires all stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, to be accounted for at fair value. Under the prospective transition method, all new awards granted to employees on or after January 1, 2003, are accounted for at fair value, and awards that were outstanding as of December 31, 2002, if not subsequently modified, continue to be accounted for under APB 25. Fair value is based on a Black-Scholes valuation model, with compensation expense recognized in earnings over the required service period.

Pre-tax employee stock-based compensation expense recognized in reported earnings totaled $229 million and $478 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and $167 million and $321 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, reflected expense of $64 million and $129 million, respectively, related to the adoption of SFAS 123 and reduced costs resulting from the vesting of prior-year

awards and net forfeitures. Also included in compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, were the reversals of previously accrued expenses in the amount of $21 million and $53 million, respectively, related to certain forfeitable key employee stock awards granted in prior years.

The following table presents net income and basic and diluted earnings per share as reported, and as if all outstanding awards were accounted for at fair value in each period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The lower expense from applying SFAS 123 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, resulted from a decrease in 2003 in the number of outstanding stock-based compensation awards, a lower common stock price, lower Black-Scholes option fair values and longer service period requirements.

NOTE 20 – ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The majority of JPMorgan Chase’s derivatives are entered into for trading purposes. The Firm also uses derivatives as an end user to hedge market exposures, modify the interest rate characteristics of related balance sheet instruments or meet longer-term investment objectives. Both trading and end-user derivatives are recorded in trading assets and liabilities. For a further discussion of the Firm’s use of derivative instruments, see pages 50–53 and Note 28 on pages 101–102 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

The following table presents derivative instrument hedging-related activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

NOTE 21 — OFF-BALANCE SHEET LENDING-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND GUARANTEES

For a further discussion of off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees and the Firm’s related accounting policies, see Note 29 on pages 102-103 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

JPMorgan Chase utilizes lending-related financial instruments (i.e., commitments and guarantees) to meet the financing needs of its customers. The contractual amount of these financial instruments represents the maximum possible credit risk should the counterparty draw upon the commitment or should the Firm fulfill its obligation under the guarantee, and the counterparty subsequently fails to perform according to the terms of the contract. Most of these commitments and guarantees expire without a default occurring or without being drawn. As a result, the total contractual amount of these instruments is not, in the Firm’s view, representative of the Firm’s actual future credit exposure or funding requirements. Further, certain commitments, primarily related to consumer financings, are cancelable, upon notice, at the option of the Firm. To provide for the risk of loss inherent in commercial-related contracts, an allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments is maintained. See Note 7 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion on the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments.

The following table summarizes the contractual amounts relating to off-balance sheet lending-related financial instruments and guarantees and the related allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002:

Customers’ securities lent(e)   $ 125,087     $ 101,503       NA       NA  
 
(a)   Net of risk participations totaling $18 billion at June 30, 2003, and $16 billion at December 31, 2002.
(b)   Includes unused advised lines of credit totaling $19 billion at June 30, 2003, and $22 billion at December 31, 2002. In regulatory filings with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, unused advised lines are not reportable.
(c)   Includes certain asset purchase agreements of $35 billion at June 30, 2003, and $36 billion at December 31, 2002. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments related to these agreements was insignificant at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002.
(d)   Collateral held by the Firm in support of these agreements was $9 billion at June 30, 2003, and $8 billion at December 31, 2002.
(e)   Collateral held by the Firm in support of these agreements was $134 billion at June 30, 2003, and $110 billion at December 31, 2002.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45, which requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability in an amount equal to the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. As of January 1, 2003, newly issued or modified guarantees that are not derivative contracts have been recorded on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheet at their fair value at inception. The Firm considers the following off-balance sheet lending arrangements to be guarantees under FIN 45: certain asset purchase agreements, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees and securities lending indemnifications. See Note 29 on pages 102-103 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report for further information regarding these guarantees and for a description of the Firm’s obligations under indemnification agreements.

The fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee at inception is typically equal to the net present value of the future amount of premium receivable under the contract. The Firm has recorded this amount in Other liabilities with an offsetting entry recorded in Other assets. As cash is received under the contract, it is applied to the premium receivable recorded in Other assets, and the fair value of the liability recorded at inception is amortized into income as Fees and commissions over the life of the guarantee contract. The amount of the liability related to guarantees recorded at June 30, 2003, excluding the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments and derivative contracts discussed below, was approximately $46 million.

In addition to the contracts noted above, there are certain derivative contracts to which the Firm is a counterparty that meet the characteristics of a guarantee under FIN 45. For a description of the derivatives the Firm considers to be guarantees, see Note 29 on pages 102-103 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report. These derivatives are recorded on the Consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The total notional values of the derivatives that the Firm deems to be guarantees were $49 billion and $47 billion at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively. The fair values related to these contracts were a derivative receivable of $171 million and a derivative payable of $496 million at June 30, 2003. The fair values of these contracts were a derivative receivable of $141 million and a derivative payable of $814 million at December 31, 2002.

NOTE 22 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Refer to Note 31 on pages 104-106 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report for a further description of fair value methodologies by product. For those financial instruments that are not recorded on the Consolidated balance sheet at fair value, fair value is based on quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based on internally developed models that primarily use market-based or independent information as inputs. Primary market prices are used to determine the fair value of certain of the Firm’s financial instruments, such as loans and lending-related commitments, as they provide an estimate of prices at which such financial instruments could currently be originated.

These methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies or secondary market prices to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date; for example, the cost of credit derivatives can be used to estimate the fair value of commercial loans and lending-related commitments, rather than discounting the loan or the commitment using primary market rates. Following such an approach, the fair value of the Firm’s commercial loans would be approximately $0.7 billion and $0.1 billion greater than the carrying value (i.e., commercial loans net of the allowance for loan losses) at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively. Following the same approach, the maximum incremental depreciation in fair value of the Firm’s lending-related commitments would be approximately 15 basis points and 40 basis points of the total notional value of these commitments at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively.

The following table presents the financial assets and liabilities valued under SFAS 107:

 
                                                 
(in billions)   June 30, 2003     December 31, 2002

Total financial liabilities(a)
  $ 756.6     $ 759.4       (2.8 )   $ 715.6     $ 716.3       (0.7 )
 
                         
Estimated fair value in excess of carrying value
                  $ 2.2                     $ 2.5  
 
                                           
 
(a)   Includes the allowance for lending-related commitments of $384 million at June 30, 2003, and $363 million at December 31, 2002. The fair value of the Firm’s lending-related commitments, using primary market rates, approximates these balances.

 

NOTE 23 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

JPMorgan Chase is organized into five major businesses: Investment Bank, Treasury & Securities Services, Investment Management & Private Banking, JPMorgan Partners and Chase Financial Services. These businesses are segmented based on the products and services provided or the type of customer serviced, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by the Firm’s management. Results of these lines of business are presented on an “operating” basis. During the second quarter of 2003, JPMorgan Chase implemented new capital measurement methodologies for commercial credit risk, operating risk and private equity risk, resulting in the reallocation of capital among certain business segments. The Firm also revised its internal management reporting policies to: (1) allocate certain revenues, expenses and tax-related items that had been recorded within the Corporate segment to the other business segments, and (2) assign to Treasury & Securities Services (“T&SS”) a corporate credit allocation associated with certain credit exposures managed within the Investment Bank’s (“IB”) credit portfolio related to certain shared clients. The line-of-business operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, in the following table reflect the revised internal management reporting policies, which were previously disclosed in the Firm’s Form 8-K dated July 11, 2003. Restatements of segment results may occur in the future. For a further discussion concerning JPMorgan Chase’s business segments, see Segment Results on pages 34-49 of this Form 10-Q. For a further discussion of the new capital measurement methodologies and the other revisions to the Firm’s internal management reporting policies, see Capital Management on pages 49 and 50, and Support Units and Corporate, on pages 48-49 of this Form 10-Q.

JPMorgan Chase uses shareholder value added (“SVA”) and earnings, on an operating basis, as its principal measures of franchise profitability. A 12% cost of capital is used for all businesses except JPMorgan Partners, which has a 15% cost of capital. See Segment Results on pages 24-25 and Note 33 on pages 108-109 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report for a further discussion of performance measurements and policies for cost of capital allocation. The table below provides a summary of the Firm’s segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

Financial Highlights — Reported Basis: Reported net income for J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase” or the “Firm”) was $1.8 billion, or $0.89 per share, in the second quarter of 2003, compared with net income of $1.4 billion, or $0.69 per share, in the first quarter of 2003, and net income of $1.0 billion, or $0.50 per share, in the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, reported net income was $3.2 billion, or $1.57 per share, compared with $2.0 billion, or $0.99 per share, in the same period last year.

Total revenue of $9.0 billion in the second quarter of 2003 was 7% higher than in the 2003 first quarter and 19% higher than in the second quarter of 2002. The increase, when compared with the first quarter of this year, was driven by record revenues at Chase Financial Services, particularly at Chase Home Finance, and higher revenues at the Investment Bank, reflecting strong fixed income results and increased investment banking fees. For the first half of 2003, total revenue of $17.4 billion was 15% higher than in the same period last year.

Total noninterest expense was $5.8 billion in the second quarter of 2003, 5% higher than in the 2003 first quarter and 12% over the second quarter of 2002, driven by a $100 million addition to the previously-established litigation reserve relating to Enron, higher performance-related incentive accruals and increased severance and related costs, including a $128 million charge for vacant excess real estate. On a year-to-date basis, total expense of $11.4 billion in 2003 was 8% higher than last year.

The provision for credit losses for the 2003 second quarter of $435 million was down 41% compared with the 2003 first quarter and down 47% compared with the 2002 second quarter. The provision this quarter was less than total net charge-offs of $614 million, reflecting continued improvement in the quality of the commercial loan portfolio. Fewer new problem credits were added this quarter; commercial nonperforming assets and criticized exposure levels declined 9% and 12%, respectively, from March 31, 2003. Consumer credit quality remained stable.

Summary of Segment Results: In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management utilizes “operating basis” to assess each of its business segments. “Operating basis” excludes the impact of merger and restructuring costs and special items. In the first and second quarters of 2003, there was no difference between reported results and results on an operating basis, as there were no special items in 2003 and all restructuring costs are now included within reported results. On an operating basis, earnings were $1.8 billion, or $0.89 per share, in the second quarter of 2003 compared with $1.4 billion, or $0.69 per share, in the first quarter of 2003 and $1.2 billion, or $0.58 per share, in the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, earnings on an operating basis were $3.2 billion, or $1.57 per share, versus $2.3 billion, or $1.15 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2002. For additional information and a reconciliation between the Firm’s reported and operating results, see pages 32-34 of this Form 10-Q.

Segment results this quarter reflect the revised internal management reporting policies relating to allocating economic risk capital and other items described in detail in Capital Management on pages 49-50, and Support Units and Corporate on pages 48-49 of this Form 10-Q, and in the Firm’s Form 8-K dated July 11, 2003. All prior periods have been restated.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

  The Investment Bank reported operating earnings for the quarter of $1.1 billion, up 15% from the first quarter of 2003 and 114% from the second quarter of 2002. Return on allocated capital was 22%, up from 18% in the first quarter of 2003 and up significantly from 10% in the second quarter of 2002. First-half operating earnings of $2.0 billion increased 59% versus the same period last year. Strong capital markets results and lower credit costs contributed to the results. Operating revenues of $4.3 billion in the second quarter of 2003 were 5% higher than in the first quarter of 2003 and 35% better than in the second quarter of 2002. Operating expenses of $2.5 billion increased 23% from the second quarter of 2002, primarily driven by higher incentives resulting from improved financial performance. Noncompensation expense increased 12% from the second quarter of 2002 as a result of the $100 million addition to the Enron-related litigation reserve. Excluding the addition to the litigation reserve, noncompensation expense decreased 1%. Severance and related costs increased 21% from the second quarter of 2002, primarily driven by $104 million in charges to provide for anticipated losses on subletting unoccupied excess real estate. For the first half of the year, the Investment Bank maintained top-tier league table status in Global syndicated loans (#1) and U.S. investment-grade bonds (#2) and improved its ranking for Global announced M&A (#3) and U.S. equity and equity-related (#3) underwriting.

  Chase Financial Services reported a record $883 million in operating earnings for the quarter, an increase of 30% from the first quarter of 2003 and 36% from the second quarter of 2002, reflecting higher production volumes across all national consumer credit businesses. Chase Home Finance, the Firm’s mortgage business, also reported record results, due to unprecedented levels of mortgage originations (primarily refinancings) and, to a lesser extent, gains on the hedging of mortgage servicing rights. While deposits grew at Chase Regional Banking and Chase Middle Market, the value of these deposits decreased amid lower interest rates. Credit costs increased 11% from the second quarter of 2002; however, charge-offs decreased 2% from the second quarter of 2002 despite a 21% increase in average managed loans.

  Treasury & Securities Services reported operating earnings of $127 million, 3% lower than in the first quarter of 2003 and 23% lower than in the second quarter of 2002. Revenues grew 5% when compared with the first quarter of 2003 and decreased slightly when compared with the second quarter of 2002. Expenses grew by 7% versus the first quarter of 2003 and 6% versus the second quarter of 2002, reflecting charges to provide for anticipated losses on subletting unoccupied excess real estate, higher severance, the impact of acquisitions, the cost associated with expensing of options and increased pension costs. In addition, corporate credit allocations were 21% and 48% lower compared with the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. Under new management accounting policies, Treasury & Securities Services (“T&SS”) is being assigned a corporate credit allocation representing net earnings and allocated capital related to certain credit exposures managed within the Investment Bank’s credit portfolio on behalf of clients shared with T&SS. The overhead ratio for the quarter was 81%, compared with 80% and 76% in the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively.

  Investment Management & Private Banking reported operating earnings of $69 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of 92% from the first quarter of 2003 but a decrease of 16% from the second quarter of 2002. Increasing global equity valuations and stronger brokerage activities drove the increase from the first quarter of 2003, while declines in global equity market valuations and institutional outflows accounted for most of the decrease from the second quarter of last year. Total assets under supervision of $694 billion rose 12% from the first quarter of 2003 and 1% from the year-ago quarter, reflecting, in part, the acquisition of the retirement plan services business of American Century Companies, Inc.

  JPMorgan Partners reported an operating loss of $91 million for the 2003 second quarter compared with operating losses of $217 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $168 million in the second quarter of 2002. Total net private equity losses were $22 million compared with net losses of $230 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $126 million in the second quarter of 2002. The narrower loss was driven by unrealized mark-to-market gains on public securities and an increase in realized cash gains in the direct portfolio; these were partially offset by higher losses on limited partner interests in private third-party equity fund investments.

Total assets as of June 30, 2003, were $803 billion, compared with $759 billion as of December 31, 2002, and $741 billion at June 30, 2002. JPMorgan Chase’s Tier 1 Capital ratio was 8.7% at June 30, 2003, compared with 8.2% at December 31, 2002, and 8.8% at June 30, 2002.

Enron Settlement: On July 28, 2003, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. announced that it had entered into agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Office of the District Attorney for New York County, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the New York State Banking Department resolving matters relating to its involvement with commodity prepay transactions involving Enron Corporation and its affiliates. In connection with the SEC settlement, the SEC alleged that the Firm aided and abetted a securities fraud by Enron. JPMorgan Chase neither admitted nor denied the SEC’s allegations, but consented to the order sought by the SEC enjoining the company from future violations of the antifraud provisions of the securities laws and requiring it to pay a total of $135 million, consisting of $65 million of disgorgement of revenues, $5 million of interest, and $65 million of penalties. The agreement with the District Attorney’s Office provided that neither JPMorgan Chase nor any of its officers or employees will be prosecuted by the District Attorney’s Office, and that the Firm will pay a total of $27.5 million, consisting of

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

$25 million in penalties and $2.5 million in reimbursement of expenses of the District Attorney’s Office. The Firm has also committed to take certain measures to improve its handling of structured finance transactions. The agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the New York State Banking Department, a formal written agreement, requires JPMorgan Chase to adopt programs acceptable to the Federal Reserve and the Banking Department for enhancing the Firm’s management of credit risk and legal and reputational risk, particularly in relation to its participation in structured finance transactions.

As noted above, in the second quarter of 2003, JPMorgan Chase added $100 million to its Enron litigation reserve to reflect the cost of the settlements. No additional charge was taken in connection with these settlements.

Business Outlook: Results for the first half of the year were driven by strong trading revenues in the Investment Bank and record mortgage originations at Chase Home Finance. In addition, credit quality improved: criticized commercial exposure declined by 23% over the past six months, nonperforming commercial assets were 18% lower than at December 31, 2002, and consumer charge-off ratios improved across almost all consumer products when compared with the second quarter of 2002. Over the remainder of the year, the Firm expects commercial credit quality to improve, and consumer credit quality to remain stable. The Firm anticipates lower earnings per share in the second half of 2003, primarily the result of moderating trading, treasury and mortgage business revenues in a rising interest rate environment.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

Trading revenue of $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2003 represented the highest trading results since the first quarter of 2001. The increase from the first quarter of 2003 reflected strong growth in fixed income, interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange trading. The results reflected higher client activity and strong performance from the Firm’s proprietary risk-taking positions. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, trading revenue of $2.7 billion was up 33% from the same period last year. Fixed income and other results of $2.3 billion were up 45% as a result of strong interest rate and credit markets trading. Trading revenue, on a reported basis, excludes the impact of Net interest income related to the Investment Bank’s trading activities, which is recorded in Net interest income. However, the Firm includes these revenues in trading for segment reporting purposes to better assess the profitability of the Investment Bank’s trading business. For additional information on trading revenue, see the Investment Bank segment discussion on pages 36-38 of this Form 10-Q.

Fees and commissions

Fees and commissions of $2.5 billion for the second quarter of 2003 decreased 5% and 14% from the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. For the first six months of 2003, fees and commissions fell 7% from the comparable period in 2002. The table below provides the significant components of fees and commissions:

Investment management, custody and processing services
Fees from investment management, custody and processing services remained relatively stable in comparison with the first quarter of 2003 but were down 9% from the second quarter of 2002. For the first half of 2003, the decrease was 10% versus the same period last year. The investment management fee component of this category declined 8% from the immediately preceding quarter and 16% from the second quarter of 2002. The decrease from the first quarter was partly attributable to the loss of performance fees in the Investment Bank related to a sub-advised fund in Europe, following the expiration of the management agreement in April 2003. The declines from the second quarter and first six months of 2002 were principally driven by the lower value of equity-related assets under management, institutional outflows and the loss of performance fees related to the expiration of the management agreement.

Custody and processing services fees were up 14% versus the first quarter of 2003 and remained relatively stable compared with the second quarter of 2002. The growth from the previous quarter was primarily due to a higher level of cross-border securities transactions, to new business pertaining to debt issuances and to the seasonal increase in securities lending volume related to dividend payments on non-U.S. companies’ equity securities. In comparison with the first half of 2002, fees were down 5%, driven by the depressed values of securities under custody, the lingering slowdown in cross-border investment flows and lower securities lending volume. For additional information on investment management, see the Investment Management & Private Banking segment discussion on pages 40-41 of this Form 10-Q. For additional information on custody and processing services, see Treasury & Securities Services on pages 38-39 of this Form 10-Q.

Credit card revenue
Credit card revenue was relatively flat in comparison with the first quarter of 2003 and rose 4% from the second quarter of 2002. On a year-to-date basis, credit card revenue increased 11% over the same period in 2002. The increases over the same periods last year were attributable to the higher level of servicing fees associated with the $6.4 billion and $8.2 billion growth in the average securitized credit card portfolio from the second quarter and first half of 2002, respectively. For a further discussion of credit card revenue, see the Chase Cardmember Services discussion on pages 46-47 of this Form 10-Q.

Brokerage and investment services
In the second quarter of 2003, brokerage and investment services increased 16% from the first quarter of 2003 and declined 4% from the 2002 second quarter. On a year-to-date basis, these fees declined 6% compared with the same period last year. The increase from the immediately preceding quarter stemmed from the improved performance of the equities market. The declines from the second quarter of 2002 and the first six months of 2002 were driven by the narrower spreads on equity brokerage transactions at the Investment Bank.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

Mortgage servicing fees
Mortgage servicing fees for the second quarter of 2003 declined considerably from both the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002 due to higher amortization of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and MSR valuation adjustments in excess of derivative gains. The higher amortization and valuation adjustments were the result of a continued decline in interest rates over the period. However, these declines were more than offset by the results of the economic hedges recorded in securities gains. These same factors resulted in lower fees for the first half of 2003 compared with the same period in 2002. At June 30, 2003, the balance of mortgages serviced at Chase Home Finance stood at $437 billion compared with $432 billion at March 31, 2003, and $436 billion at June 30, 2002. For a further discussion of these fees, see the Chase Home Finance discussion on pages 45-46 of this Form 10-Q.

Other lending-related service fees
In the second quarter of 2003, other lending-related service fees were relatively stable compared with both the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, other lending-related service fees declined 3% versus last year’s same period. These results were attributable to lower loan commitment fees and other lending-related services, partly offset by higher standby letter-of-credit fees due to new business.

Deposit service fees
Deposit service fees in the second quarter of 2003 were flat compared with the first quarter of 2003 but increased 4% from the second quarter of 2002. The increase from the second quarter of 2002 resulted from the lower interest rate environment, which reduced the value of customers’ compensating deposit balances; as a consequence, customers paid incremental fees for deposit services. These increases were partly offset by lower balance-deficiency fees, as many customers at Chase Regional Banking increased their account balances by transferring cash from brokerage accounts to more stable bank deposit accounts, in response to the uncertain market environment. On a year-to-date basis, deposit service fees remained stable.

Other fees
Other fees of $252 million rose 3% from both the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, other fees increased 4% compared with the same period last year. The increases in other fees pertained to several processing-related service fees.

Private equity gains (losses)
Private equity losses were $29 million in the second quarter of 2003, compared with losses of $221 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $125 million in the second quarter of 2002. For the first half of the year, private equity losses were $250 million, versus losses of $363 million for the same period a year ago. For a discussion of private equity gains (losses), see the JPMorgan Partners (“JPMP”) segment results on pages 42-43 of this Form 10-Q.

Securities gains
In the second quarter of 2003, securities gains of $768 million were $283 million higher than in the first quarter of 2003 and were $644 million higher than in the second quarter of 2002. During the first six months of 2003, securities gains of $1.3 billion were up substantially from gains of $238 million in the same period last year. The 2003 second quarter results included $312 million of gains realized from the sales activities of Chase Home Finance’s investment securities portfolio, related to hedging the economic value of MSRs. This compared with gains of $96 million and $16 million in the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. For the first half of 2003, Chase Home Finance had gains of $408 million compared with gains of $3 million for the first half of 2002.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

Residential mortgage origination and sales activities of $439 million in the second quarter of 2003 increased 16% and 201% from the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. The increases were reflective of the record level of loan applications and originations, which have been consistently strong over the past four quarters. For additional information on mortgage-related revenue, see the Chase Financial Services segment discussion on pages 44-48 and Notes 8 and 9 of this Form 10-Q.

All other revenue of $58 million fell 44% from the 2003 first quarter and 60% from the second quarter of 2002. The second quarter of 2003 reflected a reduction in the net results of the corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies. The first quarter of 2003 reflected a gain of $27 million on the sale of a nonstrategic asset management business, partly offset by the recognition of certain nonoperating charges at American Century Companies, Inc. (“American Century”) that reduced equity income. The Firm has a 44% interest in American Century. The decline of 21% in the first six months of 2003 compared with the first half of 2002 primarily reflected lower net results of the corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies, partially offset by write-downs in 2002 of certain Latin American investments totaling $57 million.

Net interest income
Net interest income of $3.1 billion in the second quarter of 2003 decreased $152 million from the first quarter of 2003 but increased $181 million from the same period a year ago. The decline from the first quarter reflected the lower volume of average trading assets. The increase from last year’s second quarter was primarily attributable to lower funding costs and slightly higher volumes of trading assets. The increase from the 2002 second quarter was also due to lower interest rates, which resulted in a greater volume of, and wider spreads on, consumer loans, particularly mortgages and automobile loans. These increases were partially offset by lower net interest income on deposits. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net interest income of $6.3 billion increased 8% compared with the same period last year, due to lower overall funding costs and increased mortgage and automobile loans. Trading-related net interest income was $479 million in the second quarter of this year, down $204 million from the first quarter of 2003 but up $74 million from the second quarter of 2002.

On an aggregate basis, the Firm’s total average interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2003 were $571.2 billion, compared with $598.2 billion in the first quarter of 2003. The net interest yield on these assets, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 2.16% in the 2003 second quarter, three basis points lower than in the first quarter of 2003.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Total Noninterest expense for the quarter was $5.8 billion, up 5% from the first quarter of 2003 and 12% from the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, total Noninterest expense of $11.4 billion was up 8% compared with the same period last year. The second quarter of 2003 included a $100 million addition to the previously established Enron-related litigation reserve. Relative to the prior year, the increases in the second quarter and the first half reflected higher Compensation expense due to performance-driven incentive accruals and increased stock-based compensation and pension costs. Total severance and other related costs for the Firm were $210 million in the second quarter of 2003, $171 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $162 million in the second quarter of last year. Severance and other related costs included the charges associated with vacant excess real estate of $128 million and $78 million in the second and first quarters of this year, respectively; there were no such charges for the first six months of 2002.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

Compensation expense

Compensation expense in the second quarter of 2003 was $3.2 billion, up 2% from the first quarter of 2003 and 17% from the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, compensation expense of $6.4 billion was 15% higher than in the same period last year. The increase from the immediately preceding quarter was due to higher performance-related incentive accruals; this was partially offset by lower severance-related costs and the transfer, at the start of the 2003 second quarter, of approximately 2,800 employees to IBM in connection with a technology infrastructure outsourcing agreement. The outsourcing agreement resulted in a shift from compensation to technology expenses. The increases in Compensation expense in the second quarter and first half of 2003 were attributable to an increase in performance-related incentive accruals of $628 million and $995 million, respectively, and pension and other postretirement benefit costs of $26 million and $31 million, respectively. The incentive increases included higher stock-based compensation costs of $62 million and $157 million for the second quarter and first half of 2003, respectively. Higher stock-based compensation resulted from the adoption of SFAS 123 on January 1, 2003, the impact of the reversal in 2002 of previously accrued expenses related to certain forfeitable key employee stock awards granted in prior years, partially offset by reduced costs in 2003 related to the vesting of prior year awards and net forfeitures. The higher pension and other postretirement benefit costs were primarily due to changes in actuarial assumptions related to the expected returns on plan assets and the amortization of unrecognized losses on plan assets. Severance-related costs in the second quarter of 2003 were $52 million, compared with $76 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $119 million in the second quarter of 2002.

Occupancy expense

Occupancy expense of $543 million in the 2003 second quarter increased $47 million from the first quarter of 2003 and $178 million from the second quarter of 2002. The increase from the prior period reflected charges of $128 million in the second quarter of 2003, versus charges of $78 million in the first quarter of 2003, to provide for anticipated losses on subletting unoccupied excess real estate. The increases from the second quarter and first half of 2002 were due to the aforementioned charges, additional leased space in midtown Manhattan, higher real estate taxes in New York and the costs of enhanced safety measures. JPMorgan Chase will continue to evaluate its current and projected space requirements. There is no assurance that the Firm will be able to dispose of its excess premises or that it will not incur additional charges in connection with such dispositions.

Technology and communications expense

In the second quarter of 2003, Technology and communications expense was $732 million, up 15% from the first quarter of 2003 and 16% from the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Technology and communications expense was $1.4 billion, up 6% versus the same period last year. These increases were due primarily to a shift in expenses from Compensation expense and Other expense into Technology and communications expense, as a result of the technology infrastructure outsourcing agreement with IBM. The impact on total expenses as a result of this agreement is expected to be small in 2003.

Other expense

In the second quarter of 2003, Other expense declined slightly from the first quarter of 2003 reflecting a shift in consultant costs within Professional services expense to Technology and communications expense as a result of approximately 1,000 system consultants moving to IBM in connection with the outsourcing agreement. Also contributing to the decline in Other expense was the absence of costs in the Investment Bank related to a sub-advised fund in Europe as a result of the expiration of the management agreement in April 2003. These were offset by higher expenses associated with the growth in mortgage, credit card, securities processing and underwriting businesses.

In comparison with the second quarter and first half of last year, Other expense was relatively unchanged as higher expenses related to business processing, credit card marketing campaigns, and Enron-related legal costs, were offset by expense management initiatives. The first quarter of 2002 also included $78 million of Sumitomo settlement costs, and the second quarter of 2002 had higher amortization of intangibles.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

Management currently anticipates that Noninterest expense for full-year 2003 will be higher than for full-year 2002 (excluding from 2002 the impact of litigation and merger charges), driven primarily by increased incentives.

Surety settlement and litigation reserve

Included in the second quarter of 2003 was a $100 million addition to the Enron-related litigation reserve. No such charges were recorded in the first quarter of 2003 or in the first half of 2002.

Merger and restructuring costs

All costs related to the restructuring of businesses announced after January 1, 2002, were recorded in their related expense categories. In contrast, last year’s merger and restructuring charges of $229 million in the second quarter and $484 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, were viewed by management as nonoperating expenses or “special items.” Refer to the discussion of compensation and occupancy expenses above for a description of restructuring costs incurred in 2003, and to page 21 and Note 6 on page 78 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

Provision for credit losses

The 2003 second quarter Provision for credit losses of $435 million was $308 million lower than in the 2003 first quarter and $386 million lower than in the 2002 second quarter. The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2003, was $396 million lower than for the prior period last year. The declines from the prior periods primarily reflected continued improvement in the quality of the commercial loan portfolio. Consumer credit quality also remained stable. See pages 52-64 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of charge-offs associated with the commercial and consumer loan portfolios, and pages 63-64 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Allowance for credit losses.

Income tax expense

In the second quarter of 2003, JPMorgan Chase recognized income tax expense of $940 million, compared with $722 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $531 million in the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, JPMorgan Chase recorded Income tax expense of $1.7 billion, compared with $1.0 billion for the first six months of 2002. The effective tax rates were 34% for all periods.

RECONCILIATION FROM REPORTED RESULTS TO OPERATING BASIS
The Firm prepares its Consolidated financial statements using U.S. GAAP. The Consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP appear on pages 3-6 of this Form 10-Q. That presentation, which is referred to as “reported basis,” provides the reader with an understanding of the Firm’s results that can be consistently tracked from year to year and enables a comparison of the Firm’s performance with other companies’ U.S. GAAP financial statements.

In addition to analyzing the Firm’s results on a reported basis, management looks at results on an “operating basis,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess each of its lines of business and to measure overall Firm results against targeted goals. The definition of operating basis starts with the reported U.S. GAAP results and then excludes the impact of credit card securitizations. JPMorgan Chase periodically securitizes a portion of its credit card portfolio by selling a pool of credit card receivables to a trust, which issues securities to investors. When credit card receivables are securitized, the Firm ceases to accrue the related interest and credit costs; instead, the Firm receives fee revenue for continuing to service those receivables and additional revenue from any interest and fees on the receivables in excess of the interest paid to investors, net of credit losses and servicing fees. As a result, securitization does not change JPMorgan Chase’s reported or operating net income; however, it does affect the classification of items in the Consolidated statement of income.

The Firm also reports credit costs on a “managed” or “operating” basis. Credit costs on an operating basis are composed of the Provision for credit losses in the Consolidated statement of income (which includes a provision for credit card receivables on the Consolidated balance sheet) as well as the credit costs associated with securitized credit card loans. As the holder of the residual interest in the securitization trust, the Firm bears its share of the credit costs for securitized loans. In the Firm’s U.S. GAAP Consolidated financial statements, credit costs associated with securitized credit card loans reduce the noninterest income remitted to the Firm from the trust. This income is reported in credit card revenue in Fees and commissions over the life of the securitization.

Prior to 2003, the Firm also excluded from its operating results the impact of merger and restructuring costs and special items, as these transactions were viewed by management as not part of the Firm’s normal daily business operations or unusual in nature and, therefore, not indicative of trends. (To be considered a special item, the nonrecurring gain or loss had to be at least $75 million or more during 2002 and $50 million or more prior to 2002.) Commencing in 2003, management has determined that many of the costs previously considered nonoperating will be deemed operating costs; therefore, all such costs will be included in the Firm’s reported results. However, it is possible that in the future, management may designate certain material gains or losses incurred by the Firm to be “special items.”

Other Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used By the Firm in Evaluating Its Lines of Business

The Firm uses the shareholder value added (“SVA”) framework to measure performance of its business segments. To derive SVA, a non-GAAP financial measure, the Firm applies a cost of capital to each business segment. The capital elements and resultant capital charges provide the businesses with the financial framework to evaluate the trade-off between the use of capital by each business unit versus its return to shareholders. See segment results on page 24 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report for a further discussion of SVA. The following table provides a reconciliation of the Firm’s SVA to operating earnings on a consolidated basis:

SEGMENT RESULTS
JPMorgan Chase’s segment results reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by the Firm’s management and is presented on an “operating” basis. Prior-period segment results have been adjusted to reflect alignment of management accounting policies or changes in organizational structure among businesses. The line-of-business operating results reflect the revised internal management reporting policies, which were previously disclosed in the Firm’s Form 8-K dated July 11, 2003. For a further discussion of the revisions to management accounting policies made during the first half of 2003, see Note 23 on page 22 of this Form 10-Q.

Restatements of segment results may occur in the future as a result of the continued allocation of revenue and expense items from the Corporate segment to the other business segments. See Support Units and Corporate on pages 48-49 of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion. For a discussion of the Firm’s methodologies of allocating capital to its business units, see pages 49-50 of this Form 10-Q and pages 24-25 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

IB reported operating earnings of $1.1 billion in the second quarter, compared with $946 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $507 million in the second quarter of 2002. Operating earnings for the quarter were driven by strong capital markets revenues and lower credit costs. For the first six months of 2003, operating earnings of $2.0 billion were 59% higher than in the same period last year. Return on allocated capital for the first six months of 2003 was 20%, compared with 13% in the first half of 2002. Operating revenues of $4.3 billion in the second quarter were 5% higher than in the first quarter of 2003 and up 35% from the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, operating revenues of $8.3 billion increased 22% from the same period last year.

Investment banking fees of $765 million increased 23% from the first quarter of 2003 and were down 2% from the second quarter of 2002. The increase compared with the prior quarter was due to strong debt underwriting fees and a rebound in loan syndication and equity underwriting fees. Underwriting and other fees of $603 million were up 31% from the first quarter of 2003 and up 3% from the second quarter of 2002. Advisory revenues were up 1% from the first quarter of 2003 but down 16% from the second quarter of 2002, reflecting continued industry-wide weakness in M&A. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, Investment banking fees decreased 9% compared with the six months ended June 30, 2002, primarily driven by declines in M&A activity. For the first half of 2003, the Firm maintained its #1 ranking in Global loan syndications and its #2 ranking in U.S. investment grade bonds, improved to #3 in Global announced M&A, with a 17% market share, and improved to #3 in U.S. equity and equity-related, with a 13% market share.1

IB evaluates its capital markets activities, including sales and trading, treasury and corporate lending activities, by considering all revenues related to these activities. These revenues include trading revenue related to client and risk taking activities, fees and commissions, securities gains and related net interest income and other revenues. In addition, these activities are managed on a total-return revenue basis. This includes operating revenues plus the unrealized gains or losses on third-party or internally transfer-priced assets and liabilities, primarily in fixed income and treasury activities, which are not accounted for on a mark-to-market basis through earnings.

Capital markets & lending total-return revenue was $3.2 billion, down 3% and up 35% from the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. Fixed income total-return revenue of $2.1 billion increased 8% from the first quarter of 2003 and 55% from the second quarter of 2002, primarily driven by strength in North American credit markets, Latin America, interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange trading. Global Treasury, which manages the Firm’s interest rate exposure and investment securities activity, had revenue of $438 million, down 18% from the record results posted in the first quarter of 2003 but up 104% from the second quarter of 2002. Global Treasury’s activities complement, and offer a strategic balance and diversification benefit to, the Firm’s trading activities. Credit Portfolio total-return revenue of $299 million was down 28% from the first quarter of 2003 and down 32% from the second quarter of 2002 due to mark-to-market losses on credit hedging activity. Equities total-return revenue was $390 million in the second quarter of 2003, a decrease of 11% from the first quarter of 2003 and up 5% from the second quarter of 2002. The growth in equities compared with last year reflected improved results in derivatives, partially offset by declines in convertibles. On an operating revenue basis, Capital markets & lending revenue of $3.5 billion in the second quarter was 1% above the first quarter of 2003 and 47% above the second quarter of 2002.

For the first six months of 2003, Capital markets & lending total-return revenue was $6.6 billion, up 23% from last year. Fixed income total-return results were up 32% due to strong trading results in credit markets, European interest rate markets, Latin America and foreign exchange. Treasury total-return results were up 42% from last year due to risk positioning to benefit from interest rate movements. Credit portfolio revenues of $712 million were down 8% from last year due to mark-to-market losses on credit hedging activity and a lower level of commercial loan outstandings. Equities revenue of $826 million was up 1% due to strength in derivatives, partially offset by weakness in convertibles. For the first six months of 2003, Capital markets & lending operating revenue was $6.9 billion, up 31% from last year.

Operating expense of $2.5 billion increased 9% from the first quarter of 2003 and 23% from the second quarter of 2002, primarily driven by higher incentives resulting from improved financial performance. Noncompensation expense increased 12% from the second quarter of 2002, primarily as a result of the $100 million addition to the Enron-related litigation reserve. Excluding the litigation charge in the second quarter of 2003, Noncompensation expense decreased 1%. Severance and related costs increased 44% from the first quarter of 2003 and 21% from the second quarter of 2002, primarily driven by $104 million in charges to provide for anticipated losses on subletting unoccupied excess real estate. Including these severance and related costs, the overhead ratio for the second quarter was 58%, compared with 56% in the first quarter of 2003 and 63% in the second quarter of 2002.

For the first six months of 2003, operating expense was $4.7 billion, up 16% compared with the same period last year, mainly due to higher compensation costs from improved earnings. Noncompensation costs of $1.8 billion were basically flat to the first half of 2002. Operating expense for the first six months of 2003 included severance and related costs of $254 million, compared with $171 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, including severance and related costs, the overhead ratio was 57%, compared with 60% for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

Item 2 (continued)

Credit costs were negative $4 million for the quarter, down from $245 million from the first quarter of 2003 and $306 million from the second quarter of 2002. The allowance for credit losses declined as there was no provision for charge-offs by the IB in the quarter. The lower allowance reflected an improvement in the credit quality of the portfolio. For the first six months of 2003, credit costs were $241 million or 59% lower than in the same period last year. For additional information, see Credit Risk Management on pages 52-64 of this Form 10-Q.

Effective in the second quarter of 2003, management assigned to T&SS pre-tax earnings and allocated capital associated with certain credit exposures within the Investment Bank’s credit portfolio on behalf of clients shared with T&SS. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this allocation. The impact to the IB of this change decreased pre-tax operating results by $11 million and average allocated capital by $819 million, and it increased shareholder value added by $18 million in the second quarter of 2003.

The IB expects results in the second half of 2003 to moderate due to a seasonal slowdown in activity and fewer opportunities for trading and treasury activities.

T&SS reported operating earnings of $127 million in the second quarter of 2003, a decrease of 3% from the first quarter of 2003 and 23% from the second quarter of 2002. Return on allocated capital for the quarter was 18%, compared with 19% for the first quarter of 2003 and 25% for the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, operating earnings of $258 million were 14% lower compared with the same period last year. Return on allocated capital for the first six months of 2003 was 19%, compared with 22% for the same period last year.

Operating revenue was $984 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of 5% from the first quarter of 2003 and a decrease of 1% from the second quarter of 2002. Treasury Services revenues decreased by 1% from the first quarter of 2003 and increased by 7% from the second quarter of 2002, due to higher trade finance revenues, increased commercial card revenues and higher balance-related revenue; the latter included higher fees earned for deposit services resulting from the reduced value of customers’ compensating balances, driven by the lower interest rate environment. Investor Services revenues increased 6% from the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to higher securities lending and asset-based fees, as well as higher foreign exchange revenue resulting from increased volume. Revenues decreased 14% from the second quarter of 2002, the result of reduced balances, asset-based fees, foreign exchange revenue and securities lending activities. Institutional Trust Services revenues were up 17% from the first quarter of 2003 and 8% from the second quarter of 2002, due to increased American depositary receipt (“ADR”) issuance and cancellation activities, growth in selected debt product lines, increased volume in the asset servicing business and the impact of acquisitions.

Total T&SS revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003, of $1.9 billion were 1% lower compared with the same period last year: Investor Services revenues decreased by 12%, offset by higher revenues at Treasury Services of 7% and at Institutional Trust Services of 4%.

Operating expense increased 7% from the first quarter of 2003 and 6% from the second quarter of 2002, reflecting charges to provide for anticipated losses on subletting unoccupied excess real estate, higher severance, the impact of acquisitions, the cost associated with expensing of options and increased pension costs. The overhead ratio of 81% for the second quarter increased from 80% in the first quarter of 2003 and 76% in the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, operating expense was $1.5 billion, up 3% from the same period last year. The overhead ratio for the first six months ended June 30, 2003, was 80%, compared with 78% for the same period last year.

Effective with the second quarter of 2003, T&SS is being assigned a corporate credit allocation of pre-tax earnings and the associated capital related to certain credit exposures managed within the Investment Bank’s credit portfolio on behalf of clients shared with T&SS. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this allocation. For the second quarter of 2003, the impact to T&SS of this change increased pre-tax operating results by $11 million and average allocated capital by $819 million, and it decreased shareholder value added by $18 million.

On July 16, 2003, JPMorgan Chase announced its agreement to acquire Bank One’s corporate trust services business for approximately $720 million in cash, of which approximately 10% of the purchase price is contingent on business retention. The purchase, subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close later this year and is expected to have minimal impact on 2003 operating results.

(a)   In addition to shareholder value added (“SVA”), the Firm uses tangible SVA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as an additional measure of the economics of the IMPB business segment. To derive tangible SVA, the impact of goodwill is excluded.
 

IMPB reported operating earnings of $69 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of 92% from the first quarter of 2003 and a decrease of 16% from the second quarter of 2002. Pre-tax margin was 15%, compared with 10% in the first quarter of 2003 and 18% in the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, operating earnings of $105 million were 42% lower compared with the same period last year. Return on allocated capital for the second quarter of 2003 was 5%, compared with 3% in the first quarter of 2003 and 6% in the second quarter of 2002. Return on tangible allocated capital was 21% for the second quarter of 2003, compared with 12% in the first quarter of 2003 and 21% in the second quarter of 2002.

Operating revenue was $684 million in the second quarter of 2003, 6% higher than in the first quarter of 2003 and 6% lower than in the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, revenues of $1.3 billion were 11% lower compared with the same period last year. The second quarter of 2003, when compared with the first quarter of 2003, primarily reflects increasing global equity valuations and stronger brokerage activity partly offset by net institutional outflows. Lower global equity valuations (the S&P 500 index was down approximately 14% from the prior year’s level) and institutional outflows contributed to the decrease in revenue versus the second quarter and first half of 2002. Revenue for the quarter included the new subsidiary, Retirement Planning Services (“RPS”), acquired on June 2, 2003.

Operating expense of $578 million for the quarter was flat compared with the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, operating expense of $1.2 billion was flat compared with the same period last year. The impact of merger and other expense savings initiatives implemented during 2002 and 2003 was offset by higher compensation expense and additional expenses arising from the acquisition of RPS. Credit costs were zero for the second quarter of 2003 and were down from $6 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $23 million from the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, credit costs were $6 million, down from $46 million for the same period last year. The decline in credit costs was due to improvements in credit quality.

Total assets under supervision (“AUS”) at June 30, 2003, of $694 billion were 12% higher than at March 31, 2003, and 1% higher than at June 30, 2002. Assets under supervision at June 30, 2003, reflected, as a result of the acquisition of RPS, an increase of $41 billion in administration assets. Assets under management (“AUM”) increased 3% from the first quarter of 2003, reflecting market appreciation, partially offset by institutional outflows. AUM decreased 6% from the second quarter of 2002, reflecting market depreciation and institutional outflows. Not reflected in AUM is the Firm’s 44% interest in American Century, whose assets under management were $78 billion as of June 30, 2003, $71 billion as of March 31, 2003, and $81 billion as of June 30, 2002.

JPMP reported an operating loss of $91 million for the 2003 second quarter, compared with operating losses of $217 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $168 million in the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, operating losses of $308 million improved 25% compared with the same period last year.

Total net private equity losses in the second quarter of 2003 were $22 million, compared with losses of $230 million in the first quarter of 2003 and $126 million in the second quarter of 2002. Although the current quarter’s results reflect some improvement, private equity market conditions remain muted, with limited exit opportunities. In the current quarter, JPMP’s direct private equity investments recorded net gains of $123 million, compared with a net loss of $136 million in the first quarter of 2003 and a net loss of $135 million in the second quarter of 2002. JPMP’s direct private equity results included $153 million in net realized cash gains and $147 million of mark-to-market gains on public investments, which were partially offset by write-downs and write-offs of $177 million taken on direct private investment positions. In the second quarter of 2003, JPMP recorded a $145 million loss in its private third-party fund investments, compared with a net loss of $94 million and a net gain of $9 million in the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. The results in the second quarter of 2003 included losses on the disposition of funded limited partnership interests under contract to be sold in the third quarter of 2003 and additional performance deterioration in the remaining private third-party fund portfolio.

Management intends to reduce, over time, the JPMP private equity portfolio from approximately 20% of the Firm’s common stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2002, to approximately 10%. Reductions in noncore assets, such as sales of investments in third-party funds, will contribute to achieving this target. As a result of the continued soft market conditions and opportunistic dispositions of noncore assets, private equity losses in the second half of 2003 could be similar to JPMP’s first-half results.

(c)   Unfunded commitments to private third-party equity funds were $1.8 billion at June 30, 2003, $2.0 billion at December 31, 2002, and $2.2 billion at June 30, 2002.
 

The carrying value of technology, media and telecommunications (“TMT”) investments at June 30, 2003, was $1.4 billion, or 18% of the total portfolio, compared with $1.7 billion, or 20% of the portfolio, at June 30, 2002. The reduction was primarily the result of write-downs and write-offs in the portfolio, partially offset by an increase in the carrying values of certain public securities as a result of an IPO in the technology sector and more favorable market conditions. The carrying value of industrial growth investments increased to 29% of the total portfolio at June 30, 2003, compared with 24% at June 30, 2002, reflecting JPMP’s increased investment in industrial buyout activity during the period.

JPMP made direct investments of $169 million for the Firm’s account during the second quarter of 2003, with approximately 50% of the dollars invested in the industrial growth sector.

 

The industry group percentages in the accompanying table are based on the carrying values of JPMP’s private equity portfolio as of June 30, 2003, December 31, 2002, and June 30, 2002. In terms of dollar amounts, some industry sectors have the same, or lower, carrying values at June 30, 2003, as compared with December 31, 2002, and June 30, 2002, but these sectors may comprise the same or a higher percentage of the total carrying value of the June 30, 2003, portfolio than they did at December 31, 2002, and June 30, 2002. This is the result of the lower total carrying value of the JPMP portfolio as of June 30, 2003.

CFS reported record operating earnings of $883 million in the second quarter of 2003, an increase of 30% from the first quarter of 2003 and 36% from the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, operating earnings of $1.6 billion were 37% higher compared with the same period last year. Return on allocated capital for the second quarter was 41%, compared with 32% for the previous quarter and 30% for the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, return on allocated capital was 37%, compared with 26% for the same period last year.

Operating revenue was a record $4.0 billion, an 8% increase from the first quarter of 2003 and an increase of 17% from the second quarter of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, operating revenues were $7.7 billion, or 19% higher than in the same period last year. The increases in both the quarterly and year-to-date periods were driven by continued high production volumes across all consumer credit businesses, partially offset by the negative impact of low interest rates on deposits. The national consumer credit businesses contributed 77% of CFS’s second quarter 2003 operating revenue. Chase Home Finance revenues of $1.3 billion were 71% higher than in the prior year’s second quarter, due to record mortgage originations and, to a lesser extent, gains on the hedging of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). Auto Finance also reported record revenues in the second quarter, up 35% from the second quarter of 2002, driven by higher originations reflecting increased market share. Cardmember Services revenues were up 2% from the second quarter of 2002, reflecting growth in fee-related revenues. Regional Banking and Middle Market average deposits grew 7% and 12%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2002. However, both reported lower revenue as declining interest rates resulted in reduced net interest income, despite the higher deposit balances. In a rising interest rate environment, the volume of mortgage applications and the related revenues from originations and interest spreads are likely to decline. In such an environment, management would act to reduce expenses commensurate with a decline in volumes and spreads. However, such expense reductions may be at a slower pace than the decline in revenue.

Operating expense of $1.8 billion for the quarter was 1% higher compared with the first quarter of 2003 and increased 8% from the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, Operating expense was up 11% compared with the same period last year. The increases, compared with last year’s three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, reflected higher business volumes, increased marketing costs, and higher performance-related incentive accruals. Savings generated by Six Sigma productivity programs continued to partially offset the growth in expenses. CFS’s overhead ratio was 44%, compared with 47% for the first quarter of 2003 and 48% for the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, the overhead ratio improved to 46%, down 300 basis points compared with the same period last year. The improved overhead ratios reflect the growth in revenues and disciplined expense management.

Item 2 (continued)

Credit costs on a managed basis (including securitized credit cards) of $817 million decreased 7% compared with the first quarter of 2003 and increased 11% compared with the second quarter of 2002. Charge-offs decreased 2% from the second quarter of 2002, due to improved credit quality, despite a 21% increase in average managed loans. Charge-offs were down slightly in the second quarter of 2003 compared with the first quarter of 2003. Delinquency rates in the consumer loan portfolios have decreased compared with the first quarter of 2003 due to effective risk management and collection practices. For the first six months of 2003, credit costs of $1.7 billion were 16% higher compared with the same period last year, due to higher outstanding loan balances, weakness in the first quarter of 2003 in the manufactured housing market and a higher amount of charge-offs in excess of provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2002.

Chase Home Finance

In the second quarter of 2003, Chase Home Finance (“CHF”) achieved another record quarter, with operating earnings of $568 million, an increase of 32% compared with the first quarter of 2003 and 118% compared with the second quarter of 2002. CHF’s higher earnings were due to continued strong operating revenue growth and expense management. For the first six months of 2003, earnings were approximately $1 billion, or a 157% increase over the same period last year.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

Record operating revenue of $1.3 billion for the second quarter of 2003 increased 16% and 71% from the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. Operating revenue for the first six months of 2003 was $2.5 billion, 89% higher than in the same period last year. The increase in operating revenue was driven by high production volumes and, to a lesser extent, gains on the hedging of MSRs when compared with prior periods. Strong revenues were also the result of CHF’s continued expansion into strategic business sectors, such as home equity, where origination volumes increased 39% and 56% compared with the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. Management anticipates an eventual decrease in revenues as interest rates, origination volumes and interest rate spreads revert to normal levels.

During 2003, CHF capitalized on record levels of residential first mortgage loan applications and originations, due primarily to historically low interest rates. Total origination volume in the 2003 second quarter was at an all-time high of $78 billion, an increase of 26% and 189% from the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. For the first six months of 2003, total origination volume was $140 billion, an increase of 137% from the same period of 2002. Loan originations through higher-margin channels (i.e., retail, wholesale, telephone-based and e-commerce) for the second quarter were $55 billion, 34% and 150% higher than in the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. For the first six months of 2003, originations through higher margin channels were $96 billion, a 118% increase over the same period in 2002. CHF’s correspondent-negotiated transaction volume totaled $23 billion, an increase of 10% and 360% compared with the first quarter of 2003 and second quarter of 2002, respectively, reflecting improved market conditions and pricing.

For the second quarter of 2003, MSR negative valuation adjustments of $799 million were more than offset by an aggregate $1.0 billion of derivative gains, realized gains on sales of AFS securities and net interest earned on AFS securities. The net positive result of $233 million for the second quarter of 2003 compared with $86 million and $133 million for the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. For the first six months of 2003, MSR negative valuation adjustments of $1.3 billion were more than offset by an aggregate $1.6 billion of derivative gains, realized gains on sales of AFS securities and net interest earned on AFS securities. The net positive result of $319 million for the first six months of 2003 compared with a negative $1 million for the first six months of 2002. The second quarter and first half results for 2003 reflect continued strong management of the interest rate sensitivity of MSRs by CHF and the Firm’s Global Treasury Group.

Operating expense of $375 million in the second quarter of 2003 was up 4% and 20% compared with the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively. For the first six months of 2003, operating expense of $736 million was 21% higher compared with the same period last year. The increase in operating expense over the second quarter and first six months of 2002 was a result of growth in origination volume and a high level of servicing activity. The increase from the first quarter of 2003 was primarily attributable to continued high origination volume, partially offset by productivity gains resulting from increased production efficiency initiatives.

Credit costs of $58 million for the second quarter of 2003 declined 46% from the first quarter of 2003. Credit quality improved, reflecting lower nonaccrual balances and lower delinquency rates. The net charge-off rate for the second quarter of 2003 was 0.18%, down from the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002, primarily the result of a higher proportion of loans that were originated for sale. For the first six months of 2003 credit costs were $166 million, up 80% from the first six months of 2002. The increase was due to a higher provision for credit losses, primarily the result of higher loan balances and weakness in the manufactured housing market during the first quarter of 2003.

The carrying value of MSRs at June 30, 2003, was $3.0 billion, a 6% decrease from both December 31, 2002, and March 31, 2003, the result of a continued decline in interest rates over the period. The Firm offsets its interest rate risk exposure to MSRs by designating certain interest rate derivatives (i.e., a combination of swaps, swaptions and floors) as fair value hedges of specified MSRs in accordance with SFAS 133. AFS securities and certain “nonhedge” derivatives are also used to manage the risk exposure of the MSRs. For a further discussion on derivative instruments and hedging activities, see the discussion above and Note 20 of this Form 10-Q.

The mortgage servicing portfolio was $437 billion at June 30, 2003, an increase of 1% compared with the first quarter of 2003 and essentially flat to the second quarter of 2002.

Chase Cardmember Services

Chase Cardmember Services (“CCS”) operating earnings in the second quarter of 2003 were $173 million, an increase of 13% from the first quarter of 2003 and 4% from the second quarter of 2002. During the first six months of 2003, operating earnings increased 7% compared with the same period last year. The increase in earnings from all periods reflected higher revenues and disciplined expense management. The earnings increase from a year ago also reflected an improvement in credit quality.

Operating revenue increased 3% from the first quarter of 2003 and 2% from the second quarter of 2002. The increase in operating revenue from the 2002 second quarter and 2003 first quarter reflected higher fee-related revenue. Total volume (purchases, balance transfers and cash advances) increased 6% from the second quarter of 2002 and 7% from the first quarter of 2003. End-of-period managed loans increased 3% from the second quarter of 2002 and 1% from the first quarter of 2003 to $51 billion. For the first six months of 2003, operating revenue increased 5% compared with the same period last year, reflecting higher loans outstanding, lower funding costs and an increase in fee-related revenue, partly offset by a lower yield.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

Operating expense increased 1% from the first quarter of 2003 and 3% from the second quarter of 2002. The increase from the second quarter of 2002 reflected greater investments in marketing, partly offset by disciplined expense management. For the second consecutive quarter, CCS added more than one million new accounts, bringing total customer accounts above 30 million. Operating expense was up 7% for the first six months of 2003 compared with the first six months of 2002, primarily reflecting higher marketing costs and higher volume-related expenses.

The managed net charge-off rate for the second quarter was 6.01%, up 14 basis points from the first quarter of 2003 but down 40 basis points from the second quarter of 2002. The slight increase in the net charge-off rate from the first quarter of 2003 reflected higher bankruptcy losses. The decline from the second quarter of 2002 was attributable to lower nonbankruptcy losses, reflecting effective risk management and collection practices. The managed net charge-off rate for the six-month period was 5.94%, compared with 6.12% for the same period of 2002. The 30+ delinquency rate was 4.40% in the second quarter of 2003, down 19 basis points from the first quarter of 2003 and up 23 basis points from the second quarter of 2002.

Chase Auto Finance

Chase Auto Finance (“CAF”) results consist of the Auto Finance and Education Finance businesses. CAF’s operating earnings of $68 million increased 74% from the first quarter of 2003 and decreased 14% from the second quarter of 2002. The increase in operating earnings from the first quarter of 2003 was driven by continued revenue growth, improved operating efficiency, higher overall spreads due to short-term funding of loans designated for securitization and lower credit costs. Earnings decreased from the second quarter of last year, as strong revenue growth and improvement in operating efficiency were offset by higher credit costs, due to a higher amount of charge-offs in excess of provision for credit losses in the second quarter of last year. For the first six months of 2003, operating earnings were $107 million, or 2% lower compared with the same period last year. The decrease reflected higher revenue on increased average loan outstandings and lower funding costs, offset by higher operating expenses and higher credit costs due to volume growth and a higher amount of charge-offs in excess of provision for credit losses for the first six months of last year.

CAF reported record revenue of $223 million for the second quarter of 2003, up 12% from the first quarter of 2003 and 35% from the second quarter of 2002. The increase in revenue was driven by strong operating performance, due to higher average loans outstanding, lower funding costs and improved origination volumes. CAF had record loan and lease origination volume of $7.9 billion in the second quarter of 2003, a 7% increase from the first quarter of 2003 and a 52% increase from the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, operating revenue of $422 million was up 26% compared with the same period last year. For the first six months of 2003, origination volume of $15.3 billion was at a record level, up 40% compared with the same period last year.

Operating expense of $72 million was up 7% from the first quarter of 2003 and 18% from the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, Operating expense of $139 million was 14% higher compared with the same period last year. The increase in expenses was driven by higher origination volumes.

Credit costs increased during the first six months of 2003 compared with the first six months of 2002, due to higher volumes of loans outstanding and a higher amount of charge-offs in excess of provision for credit losses in the first six months of 2002. Credit quality continued to improve, as evidenced by charge-off rates and 30+ delinquency rates, which were lower than in the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002. The charge-off rate improved to 0.37% in the second quarter of 2003, from 0.48% in the first quarter of 2003 and 0.38% in the second quarter of 2002. The 30+ delinquency rate improved to 1.14% in the second quarter of 2003, from 1.27% in the first quarter of 2003 and 1.53% in the second quarter of 2002.

Chase Regional Banking

Chase Regional Banking (“CRB”) operating earnings of $42 million in the second quarter of 2003 increased 17% compared with the first quarter of 2003 and declined 53% from the 2002 second quarter. The increase from the first quarter of 2003 was primarily due to the recognition of a further gain on the sale of CRB’s Eastern Caribbean operations. The decline from the second quarter of 2002 primarily resulted from declining spreads on deposits, partially offset by a 7% growth in average deposits. For the first six months of 2003, operating earnings of $78 million declined 62% compared with the same period last year, driven by lower deposit spreads and a higher amount of charge-offs in excess of provision for credit losses that occurred in the first half of 2002.

Operating revenue of $658 million increased 4% from the first quarter of 2003 and declined 8% from the second quarter of 2002. The decline in revenue from the second quarter of 2002 was predominantly attributable to the lower interest rate environment, which resulted in lower net interest earned on deposit balances. Growth in retail deposits of 3% from the first quarter of 2003 and 7% from the second quarter of 2002 partially offset the decline. For the first six months of 2003, operating revenue declined 10% compared with the same period last year due to the lower interest rate environment.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

Operating expense for the second quarter of 2003 was up 1% from the first quarter of 2003 and 3% from the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, operating expense of $1.1 billion was 2% higher compared with the same period last year. The increases from 2002 were due to higher compensation costs resulting from higher staff levels.

As of June 30, 2003, CRB’s deposit mix was 18% demand deposit accounts, 14% interest checking, 48% savings, 9% money market and 11% time deposits (CDs). At June 30, 2002, the deposit mix was 19% demand deposit accounts, 13% interest checking, 46% savings, 8% money market and 14% time deposits (CDs). Core deposits (total deposits less time deposits) at June 30, 2003 grew 9% since December 31, 2002, and 11% from June 30, 2002.

Chase Middle Market

Chase Middle Market (“CMM”) operating earnings were down 10% from the first quarter of 2003 and 9% from the second quarter of 2002. The decrease from both periods was primarily attributable to lower deposit spreads as a result of the lower interest rate environment and higher expenses for severance and operating losses, partially offset by improved credit quality. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, CMM’s earnings were flat compared with the same period a year ago.

Operating revenues of $355 million in the second quarter of 2003 decreased 2% compared with both the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002. The decrease from the first quarter of this year was due to lower deposit spreads. The decrease from the same quarter last year was the result of the lower interest rate environment, partially offset by higher deposit levels and capital markets fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, revenues were down $14 million, or 2%, from the same period last year. Deposits were up 18% and loans increased 6% when compared with the first six months of 2002; however, net interest income was down 4% due to the lower-rate environment. The declines for all of the above periods were partially offset by higher deposit service fees, as the lower interest rate environment resulted in reduced values of customers’ compensating balances; consequently, customers paid incremental fees for deposit services.

Operating expense was $218 million, an increase of 4% compared with both the first quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2002. For the first six months of 2003, operating expense of $428 million was 3% higher than in the same period last year, primarily due to higher severance costs. The credit quality of CMM’s portfolio continues to improve. Charge-offs decreased in the second quarter of 2003 compared with the 2003 first quarter and the second quarter of 2002.

Corporate reflects the accounting effects remaining at the corporate level after the application of management accounting policies of the Firm. These policies include the allocation of costs associated with technology, operational and staff support services to the respective revenue-generating businesses and allow management to evaluate business performance on an allocated basis. The higher level of negative revenues compared with the prior periods primarily reflected the reduction in the net results of the corporate and bank-owned life insurance policies. The year-to-date increase in expenses from a year ago was attributable to higher incentives, including the impact of reversals last year of previously accrued expenses related to certain forfeitable stock awards, and higher technology-related costs.

The Corporate segment has historically reported a net loss, primarily driven by negative revenue. Negative revenue in the Corporate segment results from the overallocation to business segments of capital (thus generating negative net interest income), as well as the overallocation of revenues that arise from the application of funds transfer pricing and other management accounting policies. Expense items in the Corporate segment result from timing differences in allocations to business segments, residuals from

Item 2 (continued)

interoffice allocation among the business segments and other items considered appropriate to retain in the Corporate segment. Although the Corporate segment generally has no credit exposures, the residual component of the allowance for credit losses is maintained in this segment and is not allocated to any specific business segment. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, the residual component increased by $100 million. For a further discussion of the residual component, see pages 63-64 of this Form 10-Q.

In the first quarter of 2003, the Firm initiated a review of its management accounting policies. As a result of such review, certain operating results, primarily income tax expenses, that had originally been recorded within the Corporate segment have been allocated to other business segments, principally to Investment Management & Private Banking. Prior periods have been restated to reflect current methodologies. Management is continuing to assess the appropriate allocation of items remaining in the Corporate segment and anticipates additional allocations from the Corporate segment to the other business segments in the future.

 
 
 
RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
 
 
 
JPMorgan Chase is in the business of managing risk to create shareholder value. The major risks to which the Firm is exposed are credit, market, operational, business, liquidity and private equity risk. For a discussion of these risks and definitions of terms associated with managing these risks, see pages 40–65 and the Glossary of Terms in JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.
 
 
 
CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
 
 
 
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
 
 
 
Economic capital
JPMorgan Chase assesses capital adequacy utilizing internal risk assessment methodologies. The Firm assigns economic risk capital based primarily on five risk factors: credit risk, market risk, operational risk and business risk (together formerly operating risk as discussed below) for each business, and private equity risk (principally for JPMP). The methodologies quantify these risks and assign capital accordingly. Additionally, the Firm assesses capital against certain nonrisk factors.

A review of the Firm’s risk and capital measurement methodologies was completed in the second quarter of 2003, resulting in the reallocation of capital among the risk categories and certain business segments. New capital measurement methodologies were implemented but have not resulted in a significant change in the total capital allocated to the business segments as a whole. Prior periods have been restated to reflect the revised capital measurement methodologies. See JPMorgan Chase’s Form 8-K dated July 11, 2003, for more details.

The new methodology for the assessment of commercial credit risk capital employs estimates of default likelihood that are derived from current market parameters to capture the impact of both defaults and declines in market value due to credit deterioration. This approach is intended to reflect current market conditions and enhance the management of commercial credit risk, by encouraging the utilization of the growing markets in credit derivatives and secondary market loan sales.

Operating risk capital has been separated into operational risk capital and business risk capital. Under the prior methodology, operating risk capital was allocated to each business based on its complexity, expense base and control quality without an explicit linkage to the measurement of operational losses. The new operational risk capital model is loss-based, with adjustments to reflect changes in the quality of the control environment, and with a potential offset for the use of risk-transfer products. Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed processes or systems, human factors or external events. Business risk is defined as the risk associated with the volatility in the Firm’s earnings due to factors not captured by other parts of the Firm’s economic capital framework. For business risk, capital is allocated to each business based on historical revenue volatility and measures of fixed and variable expenses. Earnings volatility arising from other risk factors such as credit, market or operational risks is excluded from the measurement of business risk capital, as these factors are captured under those risk capital models. The revised methodology resulted in an overall lower amount of capital allocated to the businesses with respect to operational and business risks.

In refining the capital methodology for private equity risk, JPMorgan Chase has assigned a moderately higher amount of capital for the risk in the private equity portfolio. Most of the private equity capital is assigned to JPMorgan Partners.

The Firm’s capital in excess of internally required capital at June 30, 2003, increased by $1.8 billion over June 30, 2002, due to an increase in common stockholders’ equity of $1.9 billion. Credit risk capital increased over the period, primarily due to a higher level of nonperforming commercial loans. The decrease in market risk capital was due to lower stress and VAR results in several businesses in the Investment Bank and Chase Home Finance. Private equity capital decreased primarily due to the lower carrying value of the portfolio. Internal capital allocation methodologies may change to reflect refinements of economic capital methodologies.

Regulatory Capital

JPMorgan Chase’s risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2003, were well in excess of minimum regulatory guidelines. At June 30, 2003, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios were 8.7% and 12.4%, respectively, and the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 5.5%. At June 30, 2003, total capital of JPMorgan Chase (the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital) was $58.8 billion, an increase of $4.4 billion from December 31, 2002. This increase principally reflected a $3.5 billion increase in Tier 1 Capital, driven by $1.8 billion in retained earnings (net income less common and preferred dividends) generated during the period, $1.1 billion in Tier 1 trust preferred issuance and $0.6 billion in net stock issuances related to employee benefit plans. The remaining increase in total capital primarily reflected an increase in the subordinated debt component of Tier 2 capital. The Firm did not repurchase shares of its common stock during the first six months of 2003.

Dividends

In the second quarter of 2003, JPMorgan Chase declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.34 per share, payable July 31, 2003, to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 3, 2003.

 
LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
 
The following discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s liquidity management focuses primarily on developments since December 31, 2002, and should be read in conjunction with pages 42–43 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

In managing liquidity, management considers a variety of liquidity risk measures as well as market conditions, prevailing interest rates, liquidity needs and the desired maturity profile of its liabilities.

JPMorgan Chase’s liquidity management framework utilizes liquidity monitoring tools and a contingency funding plan to maintain appropriate levels of liquidity through normal and stress periods. The parent company’s liquidity policy is to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet funding requirements for normal operating activities and to repay all obligations with a maturity of one year and under. In addition, JPMorgan Chase maintains appropriate liquidity to manage through normal and stress periods, taking into account historical data on funding of loan commitments (i.e., commercial paper back-up facilities), liquidity commitments to conduits and collateral-posting requirements. Sources of funds include the capital markets, the operations of the Firm’s subsidiaries (including the ability of JPMorgan Chase Bank to raise funds through deposits) and securitization programs.

Consistent with its liquidity management policy, the Firm has raised funds at the holding company sufficient to cover estimated obligations that will mature over the next 12 months. Long-term funding needs for the parent holding company over the next several quarters are expected to be modest.

Item 2 (continued)

Credit Ratings
JPMorgan Chase’s parent holding company and JPMorgan Chase Bank’s credit ratings as of July 31, 2003, were as follows:

 
                 
    JPMorgan Chase   JPMorgan Chase Bank
    Short-term debt   Senior long-term debt   Short-term debt   Senior long-term debt
Moody’s   P-1   A1      P-1   Aa3
S&P   A-1   A+        A-1+   AA-
Fitch   F1   A+       F1   A+
 
 
As of July 31, 2003, the ratings outlook for the parent holding company by Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) was stable, and the ratings outlook for the parent holding company by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) was negative.

Balance sheet
The Firm’s total assets increased $44 billion to $803 billion at June 30, 2003, from $759 billion at December 31, 2002, principally due to an unusually high level of U.S. Treasury securities settlement failures (especially 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes) by major market participants in the second quarter of 2003; the effect of these settlement failures was to increase both Other assets and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities by approximately $20 billion. Other than the balance sheet impact, the settlement failures had essentially no impact on the Firm’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Mortgage loans were also up significantly, reflecting the record origination and refinancing activity brought on by lower interest rates.

Issuances
During the six months ended June 30, 2003, JPMorgan Chase issued approximately $9.0 billion of long-term debt; during the same period, $4.9 billion of long-term debt matured or was redeemed. In addition, the Firm securitized approximately $5.5 billion of residential mortgage loans, $4.3 billion of credit card loans and $2.0 billion in automobile loans, resulting in pre-tax gains on securitizations of $143.4 million, $21.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively. For a further discussion of loan securitizations, see Note 8 of this Form 10-Q and Note 11 on pages 83–87 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

Off-Balance sheet arrangements
Special-purpose entities (“SPEs”) or special-purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) are an important part of the financial markets, providing market liquidity by facilitating investors’ access to specific portfolios of assets and risks. JPMorgan Chase is involved with SPEs in three broad categories of transactions: loan securitizations, multi-seller conduits and client intermediation. Capital is held, as appropriate, against all SPE-related transactions and exposures such as derivative transactions and lending commitments. The Firm has no commitments to issue its own stock to support an SPE transaction, and its policies require that transactions with SPEs be conducted at arm’s length and reflect market pricing. For a further discussion of SPEs and the Firm’s accounting for SPEs, see Note 8 of this Form 10-Q.

For certain liquidity commitments to SPEs, the Firm could be required to provide funding if the credit rating of JPMorgan Chase Bank were downgraded below specific levels, primarily P-1, A-1 and F1 for Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, respectively. The amount of these liquidity commitments was $43.1 billion at June 30, 2003; $31.0 billion related to the Firm’s multi-seller conduits and structured commercial loan vehicles, further described in Note 8 of this Form 10-Q, and the remaining $12.1 billion related to vehicles established by third parties. The total commercial paper outstanding for the multi-seller conduits and structured commercial loan vehicles was $21.2 billion and $24.7 billion at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, respectively. If JPMorgan Chase Bank were required to provide funding under these commitments, the Firm could be replaced as liquidity provider. Additionally, for the multi-seller conduits and the structured commercial loan vehicles, JPMorgan Chase Bank could facilitate the sale or refinancing of the assets in the SPE.

JPMorgan Chase’s total credit exposure (including $34 billion of securitized credit cards) totaled $584 billion at June 30, 2003, a 3% increase from $568 billion at year-end 2002. The growth reflected a 9% increase in managed consumer loans and a 13% increase in derivative receivables, offset, in part, by a 4% decline in lending-related commitments and a modest decline in commercial loans.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

The aggregate risk profile of the Firm’s total commercial credit exposure continued to improve. The proportion of the total portfolio deemed investment grade increased from 80% at December 31, 2002, to 83% at June 30, 2003. The increase was largely driven by both the change in mix of the commercial portfolio, primarily derivative receivables and commercial loans, and by the continued improvement in the risk profile of all components of commercial credit exposure.

The investment-grade component of the commercial loan portfolio improved from 55% at December 31, 2002, to 62% at June 30, 2003, and the derivative receivables investment-grade component improved from 87% to 90% during the same period. The investment-grade component of lending-related commitments improved to 89% at June 30, 2002. Concurrently, the noncriticized portion of the noninvestment-grade portfolio declined by 14%, due to reductions in lending-related commitments and loans outstanding, which also contributed to the overall improvement in the Firm’s aggregate risk profile.

 

(BAR CHART)

Commercial Criticized Exposure

The criticized component (both performing and nonperforming) of total commercial exposure declined by 23%, or $3.7 billion, during the first six months of 2003, primarily as a result of successful restructurings of exposures in merchant energy and related industries; criticized exposures to this sector declined by $1.5 billion during the period. Reductions of $1.3 billion across a broad number of other industries also contributed to the overall reduction in criticized exposure. In addition, criticized emerging markets exposures declined by 75%, or $0.9 billion, during the first six months of 2003 primarily due to the improved creditworthiness of Brazil in the second quarter of 2003. The aggregate decline in criticized exposures during the first half of 2003 included charge-offs of $549 million.

Total commercial nonperforming assets were $3.3 billion at June 30, 2003, which included $346 million related to Enron. The $324 million decline in nonperforming assets for the three months ended June 30, 2003, was largely driven by charge-offs. Commercial loan net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2003, were $257 million, compared with $292 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and $293 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, commercial loan net charge-offs were $549 million versus $613 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The charge-off ratio for commercial loans was 1.20% for the second quarter of 2003, compared with 1.32% for the first quarter of 2003 and 1.17% for the second quarter of 2002.

The Firm anticipates a continued improvement in commercial credit quality over the remainder of the year. As a result, commercial charge-offs in 2003 are not anticipated to reach 2002 levels.

Telecom and Related Industries

The Firm continues to actively manage its exposure to this sector. Total exposure declined 4% for the first six months of 2003. The investment-grade component of the portfolio improved from 56% as of year-end 2002 to 67% as of June 30, 2003, primarily as a result of the upgrade of one significant noninvestment-grade client to investment-grade, and the Firm’s strategy of taking a selective approach to extending credit to clients in this sector. Criticized exposure to this sector declined by 8%, from $2.3 billion at year-end 2002, to $2.1 billion at June 30, 2003, due to restructurings as well as charge-offs of $123 million during the first half of 2003.

Cable

The decline of 14%, or $839 million, in aggregate exposure in this portfolio during the first six months of 2003 was largely driven by the repayment of investment-grade exposures. This resulted in a reduction in the investment-grade component of the portfolio from $2.7 billion to $1.9 billion during the first six months of 2003. Total criticized exposure of $2.3 billion at June 30, 2003, increased by 5% since year-end 2002.

Merchant Energy & Related Industries

After experiencing significant growth in the criticized component of this portfolio during the last six months of 2002, the Firm reduced exposures deemed criticized by 68%, or $1.5 billion, during the first six months of 2003, through a combination of successful restructurings and collateralizations of exposures. The noninvestment-grade, noncriticized component increased from 7% to 20% during the same period as a result of these actions. Concurrently, the investment-grade component of the portfolio also improved from 57% to 68%, driven largely by transactions with investment-grade entities.
                         
Enron-related exposure                  
At June 30, 2003, the Firm's Enron-related exposure was as follows:

Trading assets are carried at fair value. Secured loans are performing and are reported on an amortized cost basis; unsecured, nonperforming loans have been written down to reflect management’s estimate of current recoverable value. The $108 million in Other assets relates to a letter of credit that is the subject of litigation with a creditworthy entity; it is being carried at its current estimated realizable value in accordance with SFAS 5. Of the $94 million in lending-related commitments, $75 million relates to debtor-in-possession financing.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

The $29 trillion of notional principal of the Firm’s derivative contracts outstanding at June 30, 2003, does not represent, in the Firm’s view, the actual credit losses that could arise from such transactions. For most derivative transactions, the notional principal amount does not change hands; it is simply used as a reference to calculate payments. In the Firm’s view, the appropriate measure of net current credit risk at June 30, 2003, is $52 billion, representing the $94 billion mark-to-market (“MTM”) value of derivative receivables (after taking into account the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements) less the $42 billion of collateral held by the Firm. This compares with net current credit exposure, at December 31, 2002, of $53 billion. The $42 billion of collateral excludes $9 billion delivered by clients at the initiation of transactions; this collateral secures exposure that could arise in the existing portfolio of derivatives should the mark-to-market value of the client’s transactions move in the Firm’s favor. The $42 billion of collateral also excludes credit enhancements in the form of letters of credit and surety receivables.

The following table summarizes the risk profile, as of June 30, 2003, of the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheet exposure to derivative contracts, net of cash and other highly liquid collateral held by the Firm. Ratings below are based upon the Firm’s internal risk ratings and are presented on an S&P-equivalent basis:

 
                                 
    June 30, 2003   December 31, 2002

  $ 26,109       50 %   $ 25,560       49 %

    8,567       17       8,668       16

Total
  $ 51,927       100 %   $ 52,692       100 %
 

While useful as a view of current credit exposure, the net MTM value of the derivative receivables does not capture the potential future variability of that credit exposure. To capture this variability, the Firm measures, on a client-by-client basis, both the worst-case, or peak, future credit exposure (at a 97.5% confidence level), as well as the expected credit exposure. However, the total potential future credit exposure embedded in the derivatives portfolio is not the simple sum of all peak or expected client exposure risks. This is because credit risk is reduced at the portfolio level when offsetting transactions are entered into with separate counterparties; thus, only one of the two trades would generate a credit loss, even if both counterparties were to default simultaneously. The Firm refers to this effect as market diversification.

The Firm defines the “market-diversified peak” as the maximum loss (estimated at the 97.5% confidence level) that would occur if all counterparties were to default over a one-year time horizon with no recovery. The market-diversified peak, after taking into account both collateral and netting, was approximately $56 billion at June 30, 2003, compared with $57 billion at December 31, 2002. As a general rule, since all counterparties will not default concurrently, nor will all default when their exposures are at peak levels, this is, in the Firm’s view, a conservative measure of potential future derivatives credit risk.

Approximately two-thirds of the Firm’s derivatives transactions at June 30, 2003, had associated collateral arrangements. The Firm held $42 billion of collateral at June 30, 2003, compared with $30 billion at December 31, 2002. These amounts exclude credit enhancements in the form of letters of credit and surety receivables. The Firm posted $28 billion of collateral at June 30, 2003, compared with $19 billion at December 31, 2002. Certain derivative and collateral agreements include provisions that require both the Firm and the counterparty, upon specified downgrades in their respective credit ratings, to post collateral for the benefit of the other party. The impact on required collateral of a single-notch ratings downgrade to JPMorgan Chase Bank, from its current rating of AA- to A+, would have been an additional $1.3 billion of collateral as of June 30, 2003. The impact of a six-notch ratings downgrade to JPMorgan Chase Bank (from AA- to BBB-) would have been $3.7 billion of additional collateral from current levels as of June 30, 2003. Certain derivative contracts also provide for termination of the contract, generally upon JPMorgan Chase Bank being downgraded, at the then-existing mark-to-market value of the derivative receivables.

Use of credit derivatives

(a)   Includes $2 billion of portfolio credit derivatives.
 

JPMorgan Chase has modest counterparty exposure as a result of credit derivatives transactions. Of the $94 billion of total derivative receivables at June 30, 2003, approximately $3 billion, or 3%, was associated with credit derivatives, before the benefit of collateral. The use of derivatives to manage exposures does not reduce the reported level of assets on the Consolidated balance sheet or the level of reported off-balance sheet commitments.

Portfolio management activity

JPMorgan Chase’s commercial credit portfolio is composed of credit exposures to clients arising from both lending and derivatives activities. In managing this portfolio, single-name and portfolio credit derivatives are purchased by the Credit Portfolio Group to hedge these exposures. As of June 30, 2003, the notional outstanding amount of protection purchased via single-name and portfolio credit derivatives was $29 billion and $2 billion, respectively. The Firm also diversifies its exposures by providing (i.e., selling) small amounts of credit protection, which increases exposure to industries or clients where the Firm has little or no client-related exposure. This activity is not material to the Firm’s overall credit exposure; and credit protection sold totaled $429 million in notional exposure at June 30, 2003.

JPMorgan Chase’s use of credit derivatives for its portfolio management activities related to loans and lending-related commitments does not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. These derivatives are marked-to-market in Trading revenue. The mark-to-market (“MTM”) value incorporates both the cost of hedge premiums and changes in value due to movement in spreads and credit events, whereas the loans and lending-related commitments being hedged are accounted for on an accrual basis in Net interest income. This asymmetry in accounting treatment between loans and lending-related commitments and the credit derivatives utilized in the portfolio management activities causes earnings volatility that is not representative of the true changes in value of the Firm’s overall credit exposures. The MTM treatment of both the Firm’s credit derivative hedges (“short” credit positions) and the Credit Valuation Adjustment (“CVA”), which reflects the credit quality of derivatives counterparty exposure (“long” credit positions), provides some natural offset. The CVA is based on the expected future exposure (incorporating netting and collateral) to a counterparty, and on the counterparty’s credit derivative spread. The Firm manages components of the CVA by entering into credit derivative hedges and market risk derivative hedges (e.g. interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and commodity derivatives).

Included in Trading revenue are losses of $355 million in the second quarter of 2003 related to credit derivatives that were used to hedge the Firm’s credit exposure, of which approximately $167 million was associated with credit derivatives used to hedge accrual lending activities. The $355 million loss was largely offset by $236 million of trading revenue gains related to the mark-to-market value of the CVA and corresponding market risk derivative hedges, resulting in a portfolio management activity net loss of $119 million, driven by an overall global tightening of credit spreads. Since the second quarter of 2002, the quarterly portfolio management activity performance results have ranged from a net loss of $119 million, when credit spreads contracted, to a net gain of $136 million, in the second quarter of 2002, when credit spreads widened. The CVA was $929 million at June 30, 2003, compared with $1.3 billion at December 31, 2002.

Dealer Client Activity

As of June 30, 2003, the total notional amounts of protection purchased and sold by the dealer business were $211 billion and $218 billion, respectively. The mismatch between these notional amounts is attributable to the Firm selling protection on large, diversified, predominantly investment-grade portfolios (including the most senior tranches) and then hedging these positions by buying protection on the more subordinated tranches of the same portfolios. In addition, the Firm may use securities to hedge certain derivative positions. Consequently, while there is a mismatch in notional amounts of credit derivatives, in the Firm’s view the risk positions are largely matched. The amount of credit risk contributed by the Firm’s credit derivatives dealer activity is immaterial in the context of JPMorgan Chase’s overall credit exposures.

Country Exposure

The Firm has a comprehensive process for measuring and managing its country exposures and risk. The table below presents JPMorgan Chase’s exposure to selected countries. The selection of countries presented in the table below is based on the materiality of the Firm’s exposure and the dynamic credit conditions in a country as of the dates indicated. This disclosure is based on management’s view of country exposure. Exposure amounts are adjusted for credit enhancements (e.g., guarantees and letters of credit) provided by third parties located outside the country, if the enhancements fully cover both the country risk and the commercial risk. Exposures to a country include all credit-related lending, trading and investment activities, whether cross-border or locally funded. In addition, country exposure includes exposure to both government and private-sector entities in a country.

During the first six months of 2003, the Firm’s exposure to key selected countries remained relatively stable compared with year-end 2002. Exposure to Japan declined as a result of bond trading activities, although this type of exposure may fluctuate in either direction in the normal course of business. Among the Firm’s largest emerging markets country exposures, Hong Kong and Korea showed declines due to counterparty exposure, derivatives and bond trading positions, while exposures to Mexico and Brazil remained largely unchanged. Exposure to Saudi Arabia declined due to a reduction in loans.

The following table presents JPMorgan Chase’s exposure to selected countries:

Item 2 (continued)

JPMorgan Chase’s consumer portfolio continues to be primarily domestic and is geographically well-diversified. JPMorgan Chase’s managed consumer portfolio totaled $170.1 billion at June 30, 2003, an increase of $14.6 billion since year-end 2002. Consumer net charge-offs on a managed basis were $837 million and $862 million for the second quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in the year-to-date net charge-offs was primarily due to an increase in credit card net charge-offs, from a higher level of outstandings. The Firm continues to anticipate higher charge-offs in its consumer loan portfolio in 2003 resulting from increases in loans outstanding.

The following discussion relates to the specific loan categories within the consumer portfolio:

Residential Mortgage Loans: Residential mortgage loans were $75.0 billion at June 30, 2003, an $11.0 billion increase from the 2002 year-end. The growth in this portfolio was driven by new mortgage originations. Nonperforming 1-4 family residential mortgage loans decreased $9 million from year-end. The net charge-off rate for the second quarter of 2003 decreased to 0.06% from 0.16% at the second quarter of 2002. The net charge-off rate for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased to 0.05% from 0.12% for the same period of the prior year. At June 30, 2003, the Firm had $2.0 billion of sub-prime residential mortgage loans, of which $1.3 billion were held for sale. At December 31, 2002, sub-prime residential mortgage loans outstanding were $1.8 billion, of which $1.3 billion were held for sale.

Credit Card Loans: JPMorgan Chase analyzes its credit card portfolio on a “managed basis,” which includes credit card receivables on the Consolidated balance sheet as well as credit card receivables that have been securitized.

Managed consumer credit card receivables were $50.4 billion at June 30, 2003, flat relative to year-end 2002. During the 2003 second quarter, net charge-offs as a percentage of average credit card receivables decreased to 6.01%, compared with 6.42% for the second quarter of 2002. Loans over 90 days past due decreased to 2.03% of the portfolio at June 30, 2003, compared with 2.14% at December 31, 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, net charge-off rates as a percentage of average credit card receivables decreased to 5.97% compared with 6.15% in the same period of the prior year.

Automobile Financings: Automobile financings outstanding increased by $4.5 billion at June 30, 2003, when compared with year-end 2002. This increase was driven by originations of $7.9 billion during the second quarter of 2003, a 52% increase over originations in the comparable period in 2002. The net charge-off rate of 0.41% for the 2003 second quarter, compared with 0.43% for the 2002 second quarter, continued to reflect the Firm’s selective approach to asset origination in this portfolio.

Other Consumer Loans: Other consumer loans of $6.6 billion at June 30, 2003, decreased 12% compared with year-end levels. The net charge-off rate related to this portfolio decreased for the second quarter of 2003 to 2.15%, from 2.35% for the second quarter of 2002. The net charge-off rate of 2.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, increased from 2.25% for the same period of the prior year, largely as a result of charge-offs in a discontinued installment loan portfolio, as well as moderately higher charge-offs in the manufactured housing portfolio.

Loans: JPMorgan Chase’s allowance for loan losses is intended to cover probable credit losses as of June 30, 2003, for which either the asset is not specifically identified or the size of the loss has not been fully determined. The allowance has both specific and expected loss components and a residual component. As of June 30, 2003, management deemed the allowance to be adequate (i.e., sufficient to absorb losses that currently may exist but are not yet identifiable). The allowance represented 2.24% of loans at June 30, 2003, compared with 2.47% at year-end 2002. The allowance for loan losses declined by $263 million from year-end 2002, compared with an increase of $81 million from June 30, 2002.

The commercial specific loss component of the allowance was $1.4 billion at June 30, 2003, a decrease of $232 million, or 14%, from year-end 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to charge-offs and restructuring of exposures during the period.

The commercial expected loss component of the allowance was $548 million at June 30, 2003, a decrease of $65 million, or 11%, from year-end 2002. The decrease reflected a reduction in the amount, and an improvement in the average quality, of the noncriticized portion of the portfolio.

The consumer expected loss component of the allowance was $2.2 billion at June 30, 2003, a decline of $134 million, or 6%, from year-end 2002. The decrease was primarily attributable to the transfer of the allowance for accrued fees on securitized credit card loans to Other assets and a lower level of credit card outstandings.

The residual component of the allowance was $942 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of $168 million from year-end 2002, and an increase of $100 million from March 31, 2003. The residual component addresses the uncertainties inherent in the credit portfolio. At June 30, 2003, the residual component represented approximately 19% of the total allowance for loan losses, which is within the Firm’s target range of between 10% and 20%.

Lending-related commitments: To provide for the risk of loss inherent in the Firm’s process of extending credit, management also computes specific and expected loss components, as well as a residual component, for lending-related commitments. These are computed using a methodology similar to that used for the loan portfolio, modified for expected maturities and probabilities of drawdown. This allowance, which is reported in Other liabilities, was $384 million, $363 million and $281 million at June 30, 2003, December 31, 2002, and June 30, 2002, respectively. Although there was an improvement in the overall risk profile of the portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2003, the allowance for lending-related commitments increased by $21 million to $384 million, due to the downgrade of select exposures in the portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, there were no charge-offs of lending-related commitments.

Capital Allocation for Credit Risk

In the second quarter of 2003, the Firm implemented a revised risk and capital measurement methodology for the assessment of credit risk. The new approach employs estimates of default likelihood that are derived from current market parameters to capture the impact of both defaults and declines in market value due to credit deterioration. This approach is intended to reflect more accurately current market conditions, as well as to enhance the management of commercial credit risk, by encouraging the utilization of the growing markets in credit derivatives and secondary market loan sales. See the Capital Management section on pages 49-50 of this Form 10-Q.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management process

For a discussion of the Firm’s risk management process, see page 58 of the 2002 Annual Report.

Risk measurement

Value-at-Risk

JPMorgan Chase’s statistical risk measure, VAR, gauges the dollar amount of potential loss from adverse market moves in an ordinary market environment and provides a consistent cross-business measure of risk profiles and levels of risk diversification. Each business day, the Firm undertakes a comprehensive VAR calculation that includes its trading, investment and asset/liability (“A/L”) management activities. The Firm calculated the VAR numbers reported below using a one-day time horizon and a 99% confidence level. This means the Firm would expect to incur losses greater than that predicted by VAR estimates only once every 100 trading days, or about 2.5 times a year. For the first six months of 2003, there were no days on which actual Firm-wide market risk-related losses exceeded corporate VAR. For a further discussion of the Firm’s VAR methodology, see pages 58-60 of the 2002 Annual Report.

Although no single risk statistic can reflect all aspects of market risk, the table below provides a meaningful overview of the Firm’s market risk exposure arising from trading activities and the investment and A/L portfolios.

NM -   Because the minimum and maximum may occur on different days for different risk components, it is not meaningful to compute a portfolio diversification effect. In addition, JPMorgan Chase’s average and period-end VARs are less than the sum of the VARs of its market risk components due to risk offsets resulting from portfolio diversification.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

The daily average Trading Portfolio VAR for the first six months of 2003 was $56.4 million. The largest contributor was interest rate risk, which includes credit spread risk; before portfolio diversification, interest rate risk accounted for 64% of the average VAR. The diversification effect, which averaged $(34.8) million in the first six months of 2003, reflects the fact that the largest losses for different positions and risks do not typically occur at the same time. The risk of a portfolio of positions is therefore usually less than the sum of the risks of the positions themselves. The degree of diversification is determined both by the extent to which different market variables tend to move together and by the extent to which different businesses have similar positions. The decline in average Trading Portfolio VAR since the first six months of 2002 was driven primarily by reduced position-taking in interest rate businesses.

VARs for the investment portfolio and A/L activities measure the amount of potential change in their economic value; however, they are not measures of reported revenues, since those activities are not marked-to-market through earnings. The increase in average VAR for the investment portfolio and A/L activities since the first six months of 2002 resulted primarily from refinements in measuring the spread between mortgage rates and Libor/swap rates and increased exposure to increasing interest rates.

Histogram

The histogram below illustrates the Firm’s daily market risk-related revenue, defined as the daily change in value of the mark-to-market trading portfolios plus any trading-related Net interest income (“NII”), brokerage commissions, underwriting fees or other revenue. In the first half of 2003, JPMorgan Chase posted positive daily market risk-related revenue for 123 out of 128 days, with 96 days exceeding $25 million. Losses were sustained on five of the 128 days represented in the histogram. There were no days on which losses exceeded $10 million in the first half of 2003. The average daily market risk-related revenue for the first half of 2003 was $49.1 million.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003

(BAR CHART)

To evaluate the soundness of its VAR model, the Firm conducts daily back-testing of VAR against actual financial results, based on daily market risk-related revenue. The inset above examines the five days on which JPMorgan Chase posted trading losses and depicts the amount by which VAR was greater than the actual loss on each day. The inset shows that no losses exceeded VAR on any of these days, a performance statistically consistent with the Firm’s 99% confidence level.

Part I
Item 2 (continued)

Stress Testing

While VAR reflects the risk of loss due to unlikely events in normal markets, stress testing captures the Firm’s exposure to unlikely but plausible events in abnormal markets. The Firm stress tests its portfolios at least once a month, at both the corporate and business segment levels, using multiple scenarios. Scenarios are continually reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the Firm’s risk profile and economic events. The following table represents the potential economic value stress-test loss (pre-tax) in JPMorgan Chase’s trading portfolio predicted by the Firm’s stress-test scenarios:
 
                                 
Largest Monthly Stress Test Loss – Pre-Tax            
    Six Months Ended June 30, 2003      
(in millions)   Average   Minimum   Maximum   At June 12, 2003
Stress Test Loss – Pre-Tax
  $     (468 )   $     (313 )   $     (834 )   $     (372 )
 
                               
 
It is important to note that VAR results cannot be directly correlated to stress-test loss results for three reasons. First, stress-test losses are calculated at varying dates each month, while VAR is performed daily and reported for the period-end date. Second, VAR and stress tests are two distinct risk measurements yielding very different loss potentials. Although the same trading portfolios are used for both tests, VAR is based on a distribution of one-day historical losses measured over the most recent year; in contrast, stress testing subjects the portfolio to more extreme, larger moves over a longer time horizon (i.e., 2–3 weeks). Third, as VAR and stress tests are distinct risk measurements, the impact of portfolio diversification can vary greatly. For VAR, markets can change in patterns over a one-year time horizon, moving from highly correlated to less so; in stress testing, the focus is on a single event and the associated correlations in an extreme market situation. As a result, while VAR over a given time horizon can be lowered by a diversification benefit in the portfolio, this benefit would not necessarily manifest itself in stress-test scenarios, which assume large coherent moves across all markets. For a further discussion of the Firm’s stress-test methodology, see pages 60–61 of the 2002 Annual Report.

The Firm conducts both economic-value and NII stress tests on its investment portfolios and A/L activities, which are not accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. The more conventional NII stress test measures the potential change in the Firm’s NII over the next year. For the quarter ended June 30, 2003, JPMorgan Chase’s largest potential NII stress-test loss was estimated at $235 million, using a historical scenario that is a replay of the rate and spread changes that occurred in 1994. In 1994, the Federal Reserve tightened interest rates six times during the year, with a cumulative increase in the Federal funds rate of 250 basis points, leading to a dramatic change in the U.S. dollar yield curve. The Firm also stresses NII for a 100 basis point rise in interest rates, assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve. For the quarter ended June 30, 2003, this NII stress test loss was estimated at $122 million. Economic-value stress tests measure the potential change in the value of the investment portfolios and asset and liability activities which are not accounted for on a trading basis under the same scenarios used to evaluate the trading portfolios. For the quarter ended June 30, 2003, JPMorgan Chase’s largest potential economic-value stress-test loss on its investment portfolios and A/L activities was associated with a scenario that assumes a sharp widening in credit spreads and decreases in interest rates.

OPERATIONAL AND BUSINESS RISK MANAGEMENT
 
The Firm implemented a new risk-based capital allocation methodology for operational and business risks during the second quarter of 2003: operating risk has been separated into its two components, operational risk and business risk. Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed processes or systems, human factors or external events. Under the prior methodology, operating risk capital was allocated to each business based on its complexity, expense base and control quality. The new operational risk model is loss-based, with adjustments to reflect changes in the quality of the control environment, and with a potential offset for the use of risk-transfer products. Business risk is defined as the risk associated with the volatility in the Firm’s earnings due to factors not captured by other parts of the Firm’s economic capital framework. For business risk, capital is allocated to each business based on historical revenue volatility and measures of fixed and variable expenses. Earnings volatility arising from other risk factors, such as credit, market or operational risks, is excluded from the measurement of business risk capital, as those factors are captured under those risk capital models. The revised methodology resulted in an overall lower amount of capital allocated to the lines of business with respect to operational and business risks. For a discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s operational and business risk management, refer to pages 63–64 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

PRIVATE EQUITY RISK MANAGEMENT
 
The Firm refined its methodology for measuring private equity risk during the second quarter of 2003, and it has assigned a moderately higher amount of capital for the risk in the private equity portfolio. Most of the private equity capital is assigned to JPMorgan Partners. For a discussion of JPMorgan Chase’s private equity risk management, refer to page 65 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

 
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Supervision and Regulation section on pages 1–6 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Form 10-K.

Dividends

JPMorgan Chase’s bank subsidiaries could pay dividends to their respective bank holding companies, without the approval of their relevant banking regulators, in amounts up to the limitations imposed upon such banks by regulatory restrictions. These limitations, in the aggregate, totaled approximately $3.8 billion at June 30, 2003.

 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES USED BY THE FIRM
 
The Firm’s accounting policies and use of estimates are integral to understanding reported results. The Firm’s most complex accounting estimates require management’s judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets and liabilities. The Firm has established detailed policies and control procedures intended to ensure that valuation methods, including any judgments made as part of such methods, are well controlled, independently reviewed and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The Firm believes its estimates for determining the valuation of its assets and liabilities are appropriate. For a further description of the Firm’s critical accounting estimates involving significant management valuation judgments, see pages 65–67 and the Notes to consolidated financial statements in JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Firm’s allowance for loan losses is sensitive to the risk rating assigned to a loan. Assuming a one-notch downgrade in the Firm’s internal risk ratings for all of its commercial loans, the allowance for loan losses for commercial loans would increase by approximately $650 million at June 30, 2003. This sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and should be used with caution. The purpose of this analysis is to provide an indication of the impact that risk ratings have on the estimate of the allowance for loan losses for commercial loans. It is not intended to imply management’s expectation of future deterioration in risk ratings. Given the process the Firm follows in determining risk ratings of its loans, management believes the current risk ratings assigned to commercial loans are appropriate and the likelihood of a one-notch downgrade for all commercial loans is remote.

Trading and Available-for-Sale portfolios

The following table summarizes the Firm’s trading and available-for-sale portfolios by valuation methodology at June 30, 2003:

NONEXCHANGE-TRADED COMMODITY CONTRACTS AT FAIR VALUE
 
In the normal course of business, JPMorgan Chase trades nonexchange-traded commodity contracts. To determine the fair value of these contracts, the Firm uses various fair value estimation techniques, which are primarily based on internal models with significant observable market parameters. The Firm’s nonexchange-traded commodity contracts are primarily energy-related contracts. The following table summarizes the changes in fair value for nonexchange-traded commodity contracts for the first six months of 2003:

ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING DEVELOPMENTS
 
Consolidation of variable interest entities
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46. Entities that would be assessed for consolidation under FIN 46 are typically referred to as Special-Purpose Entities (“SPEs”), although non-SPE-type entities may also be subject to the guidance. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both. Effective February 1, 2003, the Firm implemented FIN 46 for variable interest entities created or modified after January 31, 2003, in which the Firm has an interest.

Effective July 1, 2003, the Firm applied FIN 46 to entities originated prior to February 1, 2003, and increased the Firm’s assets and liabilities by approximately $20 billion. The increase primarily related to multi-seller conduits; CDOs and similar vehicles for which the Firm or its affiliates act as the asset manager; and other entities in which the Firm’s trading functions have interests that absorb a majority of the expected loss. As of July 1, 2003, the Firm had not restructured the multi-seller conduits, although it continues to assess restructuring alternatives for these vehicles. The Firm would also deconsolidate a limited number of vehicles as a result of the adoption of FIN 46, primarily the wholly-owned Delaware statutory business trusts further discussed in Note 13 of this Form 10-Q and Note 16 on pages 90–91 of JPMorgan Chase’s 2002 Annual Report. The primary effect of deconsolidating these vehicles would be a change in balance sheet classification of the liabilities from Guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in the Firm’s junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures to Long-term debt. Based on interim guidance issued by the Federal Reserve Board, the deconsolidation of these vehicles pursuant to FIN 46 would not impact the Tier 1 capital treatment of the liabilities.

Due to the complexity of the new guidance and evolving interpretation among accounting professionals, the Firm continues to assess the accounting and disclosure impact of FIN 46 on all of its relationships with variable interest entities; however, the implementation of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Firm’s Consolidated balance sheet, earnings or capital resources. For further details, see Note 8 of this Form 10-Q.

Accounting for trading derivatives

In October 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force concluded on Issue 02–03, which, effective January 1, 2003, precludes mark-to-market accounting for energy-related contracts that do not meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS 133 (i.e., transportation, storage or capacity contracts). The Firm implemented this provision of EITF 02-03 effective January 1, 2003; implementation had an immaterial effect on the Firm’s Consolidated statement of income. In November 2002, as part of the discussion of EITF 02–03, the FASB staff further confirmed their view that an entity should not recognize profit at the inception of a trade involving a derivative financial instrument in the absence of: (a) quoted market prices in an active market, (b) observable prices of other current market transactions or (c) other observable data supporting a valuation technique; the Firm implemented this provision on November 21, 2002, and it has not had a material impact on the Firm’s Consolidated statement of income.

Derivative instruments and hedging activities

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 149, which amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS 133. Specifically, SFAS 149 clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative, and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003; its implementation is not expected to have a material impact on the Firm’s Consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances), because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS 150 is effective immediately for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective for the Firm’s interim period beginning July 1, 2003. The Firm does not anticipate that SFAS 150 will have a material impact on the Firm’s Consolidated financial statements.

IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
 
This Form 10-Q contains statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of JPMorgan Chase’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These uncertainties include: the risk of adverse movements or volatility in the debt and equity securities markets or in interest or foreign exchange rates or indices; the risk of adverse impact from an economic downturn; the risk of a downturn in domestic or foreign securities and in trading conditions or markets; the risks involved in deal completion, including an adverse development affecting a customer or the inability by a customer to receive regulatory approval; the risks associated with increased competition; the risks associated with unfavorable political and diplomatic developments; the risks associated with adverse changes in domestic or foreign governmental or regulatory policies, including adverse interpretations of regulatory guidelines; the risk that material litigation or investigations will be determined adversely to the Firm; the risk that a downgrade in the Firm’s credit ratings will adversely affect the Firm’s businesses or investor sentiment; the risk that management’s assumptions and estimates used in applying the Firm’s critical accounting policies prove unreliable, inaccurate or not predictive of actual results; the risk that the Firm’s business continuity plans or data security systems prove inadequate; the risk that external vendors are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Firm; the risk that acquired businesses may not be integrated effectively, resulting in the disruption of ongoing business, the loss of key employees or the disruption of relationships with employees, clients or suppliers; the risk that the design of the Firm’s disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls prove inadequate, or are circumvented, thereby causing losses or errors in information or a delay in the detection of fraud; the risk that the credit, market, liquidity, private equity, operational and business risks associated with the various businesses of JPMorgan Chase are not successfully managed; or other factors affecting operational plans. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the JPMorgan Chase Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

JPMorgan Chase does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made. The reader should, however, consult any further disclosures of a forward-looking nature JPMorgan Chase may make in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and its Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Part II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 Legal Proceedings

Enron litigation. JPMorgan Chase is involved in a number of lawsuits and investigations arising out of its banking relationships with Enron Corp. and its subsidiaries (“Enron”). Pending in London is a lawsuit by the Firm against Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale seeking to compel payment of $165 million under an Enron-related letter of credit issued by the bank.

Actions involving Enron have also been initiated by other parties against JPMorgan Chase, and its directors and certain of its officers. These lawsuits include a series of purported class actions brought on behalf of shareholders of Enron, including the lead action captioned Newby v. Enron Corp., and a series of purported class actions brought on behalf of Enron employees who participated in various employee stock ownership plans, including the lead action captioned Tittle v. Enron Corp., both of which are pending in U.S. District Court in Houston. The consolidated complaint filed in Newby named as defendants, among others, JPMorgan Chase, several other investment banking firms, two law firms, Enron’s former accountants and affiliated entities and individuals and other individual

80


 

Part II
Item 1 (continued)

defendants, including present and former officers and directors of Enron, and it purports to allege claims against JPMorgan Chase and the other defendants under federal and state securities laws. The Tittle complaint named as defendants, among others, JPMorgan Chase, several other investment banking firms, a law firm, Enron’s former accountants and affiliated entities and individuals and other individual defendants, including present and former officers and directors of Enron and purports to allege claims against JPMorgan Chase and certain other defendants under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) and state common law. On December 20, 2002, the Court denied the motions of JPMorgan Chase and other defendants to dismiss the Newby action. Additional actions against JPMorgan Chase or its affiliates relating to Enron have been filed. These actions include a purported consolidated class action lawsuit by JPMorgan Chase stockholders alleging that JPMorgan Chase issued false and misleading press releases and other public documents relating to Enron in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; shareholder derivative actions alleging breaches of fiduciary duties and alleged failures to exercise due care and diligence by the Firm’s directors and named officers in the management of JPMorgan Chase; and various actions in disparate courts by Enron investors and creditors alleging state law and common law claims against JPMorgan Chase and many other defendants. By joint order of the district court handling Newby, Tittle and a number of other Enron-related cases and the bankruptcy court handling Enron’s bankruptcy case, a mediation among various investor and creditor plaintiffs, the Enron bankruptcy estate and a number of financial institution defendants, including JPMorgan Chase, has been initiated before The Honorable William C. Conner, Senior United States District Judge for the Southern District of New York, and mediation sessions have been scheduled for dates in September and October 2003.

In addition, a number of federal, state and local regulatory and law enforcement authorities and Congressional committees, and an examiner appointed in the Enron bankruptcy case, have initiated investigations of Enron and of certain of the Firm’s financial transactions with Enron. In that regard, the Firm has delivered, voluntarily and pursuant to subpoena, information to various Congressional committees, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRB”), the New York State Banking Department (“NYSBD”), the New York County District Attorney’s Office (“NYDA”), the U.S. Department of Justice and the Enron bankruptcy examiner.

On July 28, 2003, the Firm announced that it had reached agreements with the SEC, FRB, NYSBD and NYDA resolving matters relating to JPMorgan Chase’s involvement with certain transactions involving Enron. In connection with the SEC settlement, the SEC alleged that JPMorgan Chase aided and abetted a securities fraud by Enron. JPMorgan Chase has neither admitted nor denied the SEC’s allegations but has consented to relief sought by the SEC, including an order enjoining the Firm from future violations of the antifraud provisions of the securities laws and requiring the Firm to pay a total of $135 million, consisting of $65 million of disgorgement of revenues, $5 million of interest and $65 million of penalties. The agreement with the NYDA provides that neither JPMorgan Chase nor any of its officers or employees will be prosecuted by the NYDA and that the Firm will pay a total of $27.5 million, consisting of $25 million in penalties and $2.5 million in reimbursement of expenses of the NYDA. JPMorgan Chase has also committed to take certain measures to improve its handling of structured finance transactions. The agreement with the FRB and NYSBD, a formal agreement, requires JPMorgan Chase to adopt programs acceptable to the FRB and the NYSBD for enhancing the Firm’s management of credit risk and legal and reputational risk, particularly in relation to its participation in structured finance transactions. Also on July 28, 2003, an examiner appointed in the Enron bankruptcy case filed with the bankruptcy court the third in a series of reports. In this report, the Enron examiner opined that the Enron bankruptcy estate has colorable claims against (among others) JPMorgan Chase for aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duties by certain of Enron’s officers with respect to certain transactions involving Enron, for equitable subordination and for avoidance of approximately $275 million in allegedly preferential payments made to the Firm. The report acknowledges that any such claims may be subject to certain defenses which could be asserted by JPMorgan Chase.

WorldCom litigation. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMSI”) and JPMorgan Chase have been named as defendants in more than 50 actions that were filed in either United States District Courts or state courts in 20 states and in one arbitral panel beginning in July 2002 arising out of alleged accounting irregularities in the books and records of WorldCom Inc. Plaintiffs in these actions are individual and institutional investors, including state pension funds, who purchased debt securities issued by WorldCom pursuant to public offerings in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2001. JPMSI acted as an underwriter of the 1998, 2000 and 2001 offerings and was an initial purchaser in the December 2000 private bond offering. In addition to JPMSI, JPMorgan Chase and, in one action, J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. (“JPMSL”) in its capacity as one of the underwriters of the international tranche of the 2001 offering, the defendants in various of the actions include other underwriters, certain executives of WorldCom and WorldCom’s auditors. In the actions, plaintiffs allege that defendants either knew or were reckless or negligent in not knowing that the securities were sold to plaintiffs on the basis of misrepresentations and omissions of material facts concerning the financial condition of WorldCom. The complaints against JPMorgan Chase, JPMSI and JPMSL assert claims under federal and state securities laws, other state statutes and under common law theories of fraud and negligent misrepresentation.

Commercial Financial Services litigation. JPMSI (formerly known as Chase Securities, Inc.) has been named as a defendant in 13 actions that were filed in or transferred to the United States District and Bankruptcy Courts for the Northern District of Oklahoma or filed in Oklahoma state court beginning in October 1999, arising out of the failure of Commercial Financial Services, Inc. (“CFSI”). Plaintiffs in these actions are institutional investors who purchased more than $2.0 billion in original face amount of asset-backed securities issued by CFSI. The securities were backed by delinquent credit card receivables. In addition to JPMSI, the defendants in

81


 

Part II
Item 1 (continued)

various of the actions are the founders and key executives of CFSI, as well as its auditors and outside counsel. JPMSI is alleged to have been the investment banker to CFSI and to have acted as an initial purchaser and as placement agent in connection with the issuance of certain of the securities. Plaintiffs allege that defendants either knew or were reckless in not knowing that the securities were sold to plaintiffs on the basis of misleading misrepresentations and omissions of material facts. The complaints against JPMSI assert claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, under the Oklahoma Securities Act and under common law theories of fraud and negligent misrepresentation. In the actions against JPMSI, damages in the amount of approximately $1.6 billion, allegedly suffered as a result of defendants’ misrepresentations and omissions, plus punitive damages, are being claimed. CFSI has commenced an action against JPMSI in Oklahoma state court and has asserted claims against JPMSI for professional negligence and breach of fiduciary duty. CFSI alleges that JPMSI failed to detect and prevent its insolvency. CFSI seeks unspecified damages. CFSI has also commenced, in its bankruptcy case, an adversary proceeding against JPMSI and its credit card affiliate, Chase Manhattan Bank USA, N.A., alleging that certain payments, aggregating $78.4 million, made in connection with CFSI’s purchase of charged-off credit card receivables were constructive fraudulent conveyances, and seeks to recover such payments.

IPO allocation litigation. Beginning in May 2001, JPMorgan Chase and certain of its securities subsidiaries have been named, along with numerous other firms in the securities industry, as defendants in a large number of putative class action lawsuits filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. These suits purport to challenge alleged improprieties in the allocation of stock in various public offerings, including some offerings for which a JPMorgan Chase entity served as an underwriter. The suits allege violations of securities and antitrust laws arising from alleged material misstatements and omissions in registration statements and prospectuses for the initial public offerings and alleged market manipulation with respect to aftermarket transactions in the offered securities. The securities claims allege, among other things, misrepresentations and proposed market manipulation of the aftermarket trading for these offerings by tying allocations of shares in IPOs to undisclosed excessive commissions paid to JPMorgan Chase and to required aftermarket purchase transactions by customers who received allocations of shares in the respective initial public offerings, as well as allegations of misleading analyst reports. The antitrust claims allege an illegal conspiracy to require customers, in exchange for initial public offering allocations, to pay undisclosed and excessive commissions and to make aftermarket purchases of the initial public offering securities at a price higher than the offering price as a precondition to receiving allocations. On February 13, 2003, the Court denied the motions of JPMorgan Chase and others to dismiss the securities complaints. JPMorgan Chase also has received various subpoenas and informal requests from governmental and other agencies seeking information relating to initial public offering allocation practices. On February 20, 2003, the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) censured JPMSI and fined it $6 million for activities it found to constitute unlawful profit sharing by Hambrecht & Quist Group in the period immediately prior to and following its acquisition in 2000. In agreeing to the resolution of the charges, JPMSI neither admitted nor denied the NASD’s contentions. JPMSI has been advised by the SEC that it is also considering bringing a disciplinary action against JPMSI. JPMSI has submitted to the staff of the SEC a letter outlining the basis for JPMSI’s position that no such action is warranted and is currently in discussions with the SEC.

Research analysts’ conflicts. On December 20, 2002, the Firm reached an agreement in principle with the SEC, the NASD, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the New York State Attorney General’s Office and the North American Securities Administrators Association, on behalf of state securities regulators, to resolve their investigations of JPMorgan Chase relating to research analyst independence. Pursuant to the agreement in principle, JPMorgan Chase will agree, among other things: (i) to pay $50 million for retrospective relief, (ii) to adopt internal structural and operational reforms that will further augment the steps it has already taken to ensure the integrity of JPMorgan Chase analyst research, (iii) to contribute $25 million spread over five years to provide independent third-party research to clients and (iv) to contribute $5 million towards investor education. Mutually satisfactory settlement documents have been negotiated and approved by the SEC, the NYSE, the NASD and the Texas State Securities Board. In due course, it is anticipated that mutually satisfactory settlement documents will be negotiated in the remaining states. They must be approved by state regulatory authorities.

JPMSI has been named as a co-defendant with nine other broker-dealers in two actions involving allegations similar to those at issue in the regulatory investigations: a putative class action filed in federal court in Colorado seeking an unspecified amount of money damages for alleged violations of federal securities laws, and an action filed in West Virginia state court by West Virginia’s Attorney General seeking recovery from the defendants in the aggregate of $5,000 for each of what are alleged to be hundreds of thousands of violations of the state’s consumer protection statute. On August 8, 2003, the plaintiffs in the Colorado action dismissed the complaint without prejudice.

JPMSI was served by the SEC on or about May 30, 2003, with a subpoena seeking information regarding certain present and former officers and employees in connection with a follow-up to the regulatory investigations, this time focusing on whether particular individuals properly performed supervisory functions regarding domestic equity research. At or about the same time, document requests identical to the SEC subpoena were served on JPMSI by the NASD and the NYSE, which are conducting the follow-up investigation jointly with the SEC. The Firm is cooperating with the investigation.

Part II
Item 1 (continued)

Litigation reserve and other. During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Firm established a reserve of $900 million related to costs anticipated to be incurred in connection with the various private litigation and regulatory inquiries involving Enron and the other material legal actions, proceedings and investigations discussed above. In the second quarter of 2003, the Firm added $100 million to the reserve related to Enron. Of the $1 billion, $700 million was allocated to the various cases, proceedings and investigations associated with Enron. The balance of $300 million was allocated to the various litigations, proceedings and investigations involving the Firm’s debt and equity underwriting activities and equity research practices. The reserve may be revised in the future. At July 31, 2003, the Enron-related litigation reserve was $524 million, and the litigation reserve related to the other matters discussed above was $292 million.

In addition to the various cases, proceedings and investigations for which the reserve has been established, JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in a number of other legal actions and governmental proceedings arising in connection with their respective businesses. Additional actions, investigations or proceedings may be brought from time to time in the future. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the cases present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, the Firm cannot state with confidence what the eventual outcome of the pending matters (including the pending matters as to which the reserve has been established) will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter may be. Subject to the foregoing caveat, JPMorgan Chase anticipates, based upon its current knowledge, after consultation with counsel and after taking into account the aforementioned litigation reserve, that the outcome of the legal actions, proceedings and investigations currently pending against it should not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Firm, although the outcome of a particular proceeding or the imposition of a particular fine or penalty may be material to JPMorgan Chase’s operating results for a particular period, depending upon, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability and the level of JPMorgan Chase’s income for that period.

Item 2 Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the second quarter of 2003, no shares of common stock of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. were issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.
