– Countrywide added $164.4 billion
– Excluding impact of Countrywide:
Loans decreased $6.9 billion
Commercial loans decreased $3.6 billion driven by the sale of prime brokerage
Consumer loans decreased $3.3 billion driven by residential mortgage and
securitization of auto loans
Market related earning assets are down $45 billion as we continue to maximize the
efficiency of the book, primarily through the divestiture of the prime brokerage
• Liabilities
– Countrywide added $140.4 billion
– Excluding impact of Countrywide:
Total retail deposits increased $21.0 billion as we experienced flight to safety
Long term debt decreased $12.6 billion primarily due to maturities of $11.5 billion which
were offset by minimal issuances of $3.5 billion.
Short-term borrowing decreased $37.9 billion due to a decline in customer short
positions, a shift into other products and the prime brokerage sale
• Equity remained relatively flat, as common stock issuances related to the Countrywide acquisition
and net income were offset by dividends and a decrease in OCI
OCI decreased $3.8 billion due to fair value adjustments related to our strategic equity
investments and higher unrealized losses on securities
