Dear shareholders, clients and colleagues

In the first quarter of 2007, we maintained the momentum we established during our first year as an integrated bank. Our profitability remains strong. Net income totaled CHF 2.7 billion in the first quarter. Income from continuing operations grew by 17% and our return on equity improved to 25.2%. Diluted earnings per share were CHF 2.42. We generated net new assets of CHF 15.2 billion in Wealth Management and CHF 29.0 billion in Asset Management.

In view of our robust pipeline of business and the healthy global macro-economic environment, we are optimistic about our long-term prospects. Over the past few years, the growth of the world economy has largely been fuelled by globalization and facilitated by advances in information technology. At the same time, demographic changes have increased the demand for commodities and consumer and capital goods. Together with investments in infrastructure, this has driven wealth creation around the globe and generated increased capital flows, strengthening demand for financial products and services. I believe that the growth of the global economy is set to continue. This will provide significant new revenue opportunities for the banking industry.

Our strategy and integrated banking model are designed to capture these opportunities. Our global expertise in Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management means that we can develop products that leverage our broad origination and distribution capabilities. These capabilities provide us with access to institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, corporations and governments. Our integrated banking model will enable us to combine our market reach with our expertise in banking and asset management to create innovative solutions that are tailored to the needs of our institutional and private clients.

In the first quarter of 2007, we continued our international expansion – entering new markets and developing our integrated model in existing markets. We have grown our onshore presence in wealth and asset management, where we are focusing primarily on high-growth areas and on markets in which we already have a strong investment banking business. We also continued to expand our offering of innovative products such as alternative investments and structured products, as well as leveraged finance and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

The expansion of our activities in the emerging markets is a core element of our growth strategy. In the first quarter, we launched a new securities brokerage operation in India. This will significantly strengthen our ability to provide domestic and international clients with market access and expert research, sales and execution capabilities. Our expansion into South Asia complements our strong emerging markets businesses and our leading presence in Brazil, China, Mexico and Russia.

Operating successfully on a global scale requires a cost-efficient, integrated global infrastructure. We are therefore improving our existing framework, which will put us in a better position to manage our global resources and provide our businesses with high-quality internal services at a competitive cost. The establishment of ‘Centers of Excellence’ will help us to achieve this goal. We made significant progress with this initiative during the first quarter and launched our third Center of Excellence. This new site in Pune, India, complements our two centers in the US and Singapore, which are fully operational and already have more than 2,000 employees. A fourth center in Wroclaw, Poland, is due to become operational in the third quarter of 2007.

In the first quarter of 2007, the Board of Directors announced the appointment of Brady Dougan as the new Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse Group from May 5, 2007, following my decision to retire at this year’s Annual General Meeting. This management change comes at a time of strength for our company. We have achieved a great deal over recent years, and I am convinced that under the leadership of Brady Dougan, Credit Suisse will continue to grow and prosper as it advances towards its vision of becoming the world’s premier bank.

Yours sincerely

Oswald J. Grübel, May 2007

For purposes of this report, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Credit Suisse”, “the Group”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Credit Suisse Group and its consolidated subsidiaries and the term “the Bank” means Credit Suisse, the Swiss bank subsidiary of the Group, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Operating Environment

The results of our integrated banking organization depend to a large extent on the general macro economic environment and developments in the financial markets. In order to put our results into context, we provide a review of the operating environment we encountered throughout the reporting period.

Operating Environment

Against the backdrop of continued healthy fundamentals during 1Q07, equity markets experienced a temporary spike in volatility. The dislocation of the market for sub-prime mortgages in the US was contained, although it did result in reduced volumes of residential mortgage–backed securities and asset-backed securities transactions. The banking sector experienced a generally attractive business environment with good levels of client activity.

Economic environment

In 1Q07, our operating environment continued to be characterized by generally healthy economic fundamentals. However, some uncertainty arose about growth prospects in the US, as mixed indicators triggered the possibility of a slowdown in the world’s largest economy. Nevertheless, the economies in Europe and Asia remained robust, which helped maintain the solid global GDP growth. Inflation also remained under control with stable central bank interest rates in the US and modest rate increases in Europe and Japan. The yield curve in the US steepened during the quarter, with a clear reduction in short-term interest rates and a marginal rise in long-term rates, as the expectations of an easing in rates increased. At the same time and contrary to the US, yield curves in other major currencies, including the Euro, moved up across both short-term and long-term yield levels on the back of solid growth prospects and expectatio ns of future rate increases.

Most global equity markets ended the quarter slightly positive, although the second half of the quarter was characterized by greater volatility despite strong earnings and GDP growth. Equity markets experienced a significant, although temporary, spike in volatility levels towards the end of February. The increase in defaults in sub-prime mortgages in the US and the possibility of spill-over effects to the wider lending markets and the US economy as a whole increased the level of uncertainty during the quarter. However, we have seen no major asset class contagion due to the robust economy, good diversification of credit risk and a relatively small percentage of US consumption affected by borrowers in the sub-prime mortgage market. A second source of volatility was a mid-quarter correction in global equity markets, emanating in part from Asia. However, by the end of March the markets had recovered from most of the losses, as a result of good earnings momentum and reasonable valuations.

The increased volatility in equities also had a temporary impact on the currency markets, resulting in some unwinding of carry trades and the strengthening of low interest rate currencies. By the end of the quarter, the markets were calmer, currencies and interest rate differentials largely returned to the levels seen at the end of 2006 and the US dollar remained slightly weaker against major currencies.

Sector environment

The first quarter provided a generally attractive business environment for the banking sector with continued low interest rate spreads and risk premiums, as well as relatively low levels of credit provisions. The global investment banking fee pool grew by 10% compared to 1Q06, but was down by 16% compared to the record level in 4Q06. Against the backdrop of this supportive investment banking environment, recent sub-prime challenges remained well contained, although it did result in reduced volumes of residential mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities transactions. Activity levels in leveraged finance and mergers and acquisitions remained strong in the quarter.

Total issuance volumes in bonds and equities rose 8% compared to 1Q06, making 1Q07 the second busiest quarter in history after 4Q06. The temporary rise in equity market volatility from a low level has resulted in a substantial growth in trading volumes. On the London Stock Exchange, for example, trading volumes increased 76% in March 2007 compared to March 2006. Record trading volumes were also reported in US futures for hedging and investment purposes. In addition, higher correlations across most asset classes resulted in increased demands for managed asset solutions, rather than single structured products. Overall, liquidity remained at high levels during the quarter supporting good business volumes.

Credit Suisse Results

Credit Suisse

Our consolidated statements of income include minority interests without significant economic interest, which do not impact net income, but significantly increase reported net revenues and income from continuing operations before taxes. Hence, we separate these minority interests from our consolidated performance and report the remainder as Core Results.

Core Results

Core Results includes the performance of our three operating divisions Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management as well as Corporate Center, including eliminations and consolidation adjustments. Core Results represent the performance of our integrated banking organization.

Key Performance Indicators

Our Credit Suisse Key Performance Indicators measure our progress as an integrated banking organization. We focus on growth, efficiency, shareholder return and capital strength to manage our business for long-term sustainable value creation.

Credit Suisse

In 1Q07, we achieved net income of CHF 2,729 million, up 5% against 1Q06. Income from continuing operations was up 17%. Diluted earnings per share were CHF 2.42 compared to CHF 2.21 in 1Q06. Return on equity was 25.2%.

Management changes

The Board of Directors announced the appointment of Brady W. Dougan as the new Chief Executive Officer Credit Suisse Group, effective May 5, 2007, following Oswald J. Grübel’s decision to retire after a successful 38 year career at Credit Suisse. Brady W. Dougan has been with Credit Suisse for 17 years and will hand over his current responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer Investment Banking and Chief Executive Officer Credit Suisse Americas to Paul Calello and Robert Shafir, respectively. Paul Calello is currently the Chief Executive Officer Credit Suisse Asia Pacific. Robert Shafir will join Credit Suisse in August 2007 to further develop our integrated banking organization in the Americas region.

Core Results

Core Results include the results of our three divisions and the Corporate Center. Credit Suisse’s results also include revenues and expenses from the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities in which we do not have a significant economic interest in such revenues and expenses. The consolidation of these entities does not affect net income as the amounts recorded in net revenues and total operating expenses are offset by corresponding amounts reported as minority interests. In addition, our income tax expense is not affected by these revenues and expenses. These minority interest-related revenues and expenses are reported as “Minority Interests without SEI” in the reconciliation table on page 12.

Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group and certain expenses that have not been allocated to the segments. In addition, Corporate Center includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.

Integrated capital management

As a major initiative to further strengthen our funding position, we announced our intention to issue debt and to fund our subsidiaries from a single entity, the Bank, the principal operating subsidiary of the Group. As a result, Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. will no longer issue securities. This will simplify the way we issue debt securities for funding and capital purposes and reduce the resulting administrative burden. The centralization of our treasury activities is discussed further on page 51.

Centralizing our issuance in the Bank is consistent with our integrated banking organization. This enables us to improve our debt issuance capacity and broaden our debt investor base. In addition, it permits the centralized management of liquidity for Credit Suisse and its major operating subsidiaries, which now includes the proceeds from the sale of Winterthur in December 2006. This results in a more efficient financing and liquidity structure with a larger group of operating units benefiting from the Bank’s access to a stable and diversified client base and institutional secured and unsecured financing sources. Going forward, the debt issuance volumes and term structure will reflect this integrated liquidity framework.

Recent accounting changes

As of January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) and SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). For further information on the adoption of these standards see “Recently adopted accounting standards” in the Credit Suisse Group Financial Statements 1Q07.

SFAS 157 establishes a clear definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures for instruments carried at fair value. SFAS 157, primarily relevant for the Investment Banking segment, also eliminates previous guidance that required the deferral of gains or losses at the inception of derivative transactions whose fair value is primarily estimated based upon unobservable market data. As a result of the adoption, we reported a credit to opening retained earnings.

SFAS 159 creates an alternative measurement treatment for certain financial assets and financial liabilities that permits fair value to be used for initial and subsequent measurement with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The availability of this alternative measurement treatment is referred to as the fair value option. Our elections to apply fair value primarily related to certain structured and matched-book repurchase agreements, corporate loans, structured notes and issued debt. As a result of the adoption and election of certain existing instruments under the fair value option, we reported a decrease in opening retained earnings.

Allocations and funding

Revenue sharing and cost allocation

Responsibility for each product is allocated to a segment, which records all related revenues and expenses. Revenue sharing and service level agreements govern the compensation received by one segment for generating revenue or providing services on behalf of another. These agreements are negotiated periodically by the relevant segments on a product-by-product basis. The aim of revenue-sharing and service level agreements is to reflect the pricing structure of unrelated third-party transactions. Corporate services and business support in finance, operations, including human resources, legal and compliance, risk management and information technology are provided by the Shared Services area. Shared Services costs are allocated to the segments and Corporate Center based on their requirements and other relevant measures.

Funding

The Bank lends funds to its operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed, the latter typically to meet capital requirements, or as desired by management to support business initiatives. Capital is distributed to the segments considering factors such as regulatory capital requirements, utilized economic capital and the historic and future potential return on capital. Transfer pricing, using market rates, is used to record interest income and expense in each of the segments for this capital and funding.

Core Results

Our integrated banking businesses delivered good results in 1Q07. Against the backdrop of good client flows, we achieved continued profitable growth. Assets under management reached CHF 1,552 billion with record net new assets of CHF 43 billion. Income from continuing operations before taxes was CHF 3,576 million. Income from continuing operations was CHF 2,729 million.

Core Results include the results of our integrated banking business, and excludes revenues and expenses in respect of minority interests without significant economic interest.

Results summary

In 1Q07, net income was CHF 2,729 million, up CHF 125 million, or 5%, compared to 1Q06. Income from continuing operations was also CHF 2,729 million, up CHF 387 million, or 17%. Net revenues were CHF 10,669 million, up CHF 1,028 million, or 11%, driven primarily by increases in net interest income and commissions and fees, which were partially offset by a decrease in trading revenues. Total operating expenses were CHF 7,040 million, up CHF 411 million, or 6%, primarily reflecting increased compensation and benefits, mainly in line with higher revenues.

Compared to 4Q06, net income was down CHF 1,944 million, or 42%, largely reflecting the capital gain from the sale of Winterthur of CHF 1,817 million recorded in 4Q06. Income from continuing operations was up CHF 130 million, or 5%. Net revenues were up CHF 853 million, or 9%, driven primarily by increased net interest income and trading revenues. Total operating expenses were up CHF 591 million, or 9%, due to increased compensation and benefits, which were partially offset by decreases in general and administrative expenses.

Against the backdrop of good client flows, we had a good start to 2007. We achieved continued profitable growth, although we noted reduced volumes in residential mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities transactions as a result of the dislocation of the market for sub-prime mortgages in the US. Our assets under management increased strongly, largely driven by good asset gathering momentum in both Wealth Management and Asset Management. Net new assets were CHF 43 billion, which brought the annualized net new asset growth rate to 11.6% compared to 8.2% in 1Q06. The good performance reflects our efforts to grow and further diversify our revenue streams while maintaining our disciplined approach to managing costs and risks.

Initiatives and achievements

We continued to focus on the execution of our strategic plan during 1Q07 and achieved a number of milestones.

– We continued to capitalize on our integrated banking organization. We believe that our integrated banking organization has created a strong platform to drive growth, while realizing further efficiency gains. In addition, the improved cooperation and exchange of expertise among our businesses is enabling us to create innovative integrated financial solutions for our clients. For example, we were awarded our first managed lending and custody mandate by a central bank during the quarter. A global team of specialists from prime banking, custody transaction services, fixed income sales and operations cooperated closely to meet the client’s needs.

During the quarter, we launched our third Center of Excellence in Pune, India. We plan to increase the number of specialist support staff to approximately 2,500 by 2008. This latest site complements our two fully operational Centers of Excellence in the US and Singapore, which already have more than 2,000 staff. A fourth center in Wroclaw, Poland is due to become operational in the third quarter of 2007. The establishment of these Centers of Excellence is a key element in our plan to build a new and more cost-effective integrated global infrastructure.

We also signed an agreement to outsource our telecommunications infrastructure to British Telecom and Swisscom in the first quarter. As explained in more detail on page 15, this arrangement is expected to generate considerable efficiency gains and help drive innovation, as Credit Suisse will gain access to the very latest telecommunication technologies and services from the two providers.

– We further increased our footprint in key businesses. We continued to hire talented employees around the world as part of our efforts to further grow our front office teams. In Wealth Management, for example, we hired additional relationship managers, particularly in markets where we expect to achieve strong growth.

Another milestone in the first quarter was the launch of our stock brokerage business in India. This move will significantly strengthen our ability to serve Indian and international clients by providing market access, research and sales and execution. Credit Suisse holds a broker-dealer license on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange. The establishment of this new operation demonstrates our further commitment to the rapidly growing Asian market. Notable product innovations in the first quarter included the CS POINTS certificate, an investment product that was launched by Asset Management. This is the first insurance-linked product available to private investors in Switzerland and it is characterized by a limited correlation with other asset classes.

– We took measures to improve capital efficiency. As a major initiative to further strengthen our funding position, we announced our intention to issue debt and fund our subsidiaries from a single entity, the Bank, the principal operating subsidiary of the Group. The centralization of our treasury activities is discussed further on page 51.

On March 26, 2007, we joined the London Accord, a cooperative research initiative supported by leading investment banks and research houses, major institutional investors and key non-governmental organizations and academics. This move reflects our efforts to minimize our carbon footprint and the environmental impact of our activities. Our commitment to promoting a more sustainable economy is further underpinned by our decision to increase our research coverage of the alternative energy sector and to become a leading research provider in this area.

Capital and risk trends

Our consolidated BIS Tier 1 ratio was 13.2% as of the end of 1Q07, a decrease from 13.9% as of the end of 4Q06. This decrease was driven primarily by an increase in risk-weighted assets in line with the business growth.

In 1Q07, our overall position risk, measured on the basis of our Economic Risk Capital model, remained flat compared to 4Q06. Average Value-at-Risk (VaR) for the Group’s trading books increased 11% to CHF 78 million. A net increase in provisions for credit losses of CHF 53 million was recorded in 1Q07, with loan portfolios across the Group continuing to benefit from the benign credit environment.

Results detail

The following provides a comparison of our 1Q07 results versus 1Q06 (YoY) and versus 4Q06 (QoQ).

Net revenues

In managing the business, revenues are also evaluated in the aggregate, including an assessment of trading gains and losses and the related interest income and expense from financing and hedging positions. For this reason, individual revenue categories may not be indicative of performance.

YoY: Up 11% from CHF 9,641 million to CHF 10,669 million

The increase reflects a strong performance in Investment Banking and Private Banking and a solid result in Asset Management following the realignment. Net revenues benefited from lower funding costs, which reflected an increase in the level of free funds following the disposal of Winterthur at the end of 4Q06.

In Investment Banking, we had record quarterly revenues in our debt underwriting and fixed income trading businesses, which benefited from our strong position in leveraged finance, emerging markets and high grade debt. The adverse impact from the dislocation of the US sub-prime mortgage market was contained, and the resulting lower revenues in our residential mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities businesses were more than offset by strong revenues in other areas of our fixed income business. We had record equity trading revenues, with higher revenues in proprietary trading and the cash business.

In Private Banking, net revenues increased mainly from improved net interest income as a result of lower funding costs and higher liability margins. In Wealth Management, revenues increased, driven by the higher level of assets under management, higher management fees for managed assets and lower funding costs, offset in part by a decline in transaction-based revenues. In Corporate & Retail Banking, net revenues increased primarily from higher net interest income, which benefited from very favorable liability margins and increased volumes and lower funding costs, offset in part by asset margin pressure.

In Asset Management, net revenues increased, driven by higher fees from the growth in balanced, fixed income and money market assets under management, lower funding costs and higher revenues from diversified strategies as a result of our real estate activities.

QoQ: Up 9% from CHF 9,816 million to CHF 10,669 million

The increase reflects a strong performance in Investment Banking and in Private Banking and very strong sales in Asset Management. Net revenues benefited from lower funding costs, which reflected an increase in the level of free funds following the disposal of Winterthur at the end of 4Q06.

In Investment Banking, net revenues increased driven by strong trading volumes in equity trading and corporate lending activities. Fixed income trading increased marginally despite the impact from the dislocation of the US sub-prime mortgage market. In addition, higher revenues from leveraged finance contributed to the record performance in debt underwriting during the quarter. This was partly offset by lower revenues from equity underwriting and advisory fees reflecting a decrease in industry-wide activity. Additionally, advisory fees were impacted by a decrease in revenues from the private fund group, which had a seasonally strong 4Q06.

In Private Banking, net revenues increased reflecting strong growth in recurring revenues, particularly net interest income in Wealth Management and commissions and fees in both Wealth Management and Corporate & Retail Banking. Transaction-based revenues in Wealth Management, mainly brokerage fees, were also higher driven by higher product issuing fees and client foreign exchange income.

In Asset Management, net revenues increased reflecting growth in balanced, fixed income and money market assets under management, as well as lower funding costs. In addition, an increase in private equity and other investment-related gains resulted from the successful sale of investments. This was partly offset by lower revenues in alternative investments, primarily due to a decline in private equity fees and commissions reflecting seasonally higher placement fees in 4Q06.

Provision for credit losses

YoY: From CHF (61) million to CHF 53 million

The increase is due primarily to additional reserves related to emerging markets loan portfolio growth. While the overall credit environment remained stable in the quarter, the benign credit environment is not expected to continue, which may result in a modest increase in new provision levels toward the end of 2007.

QoQ: From CHF (20) million to CHF 53 million

The increase is due primarily to additional reserves related to emerging markets loan portfolio growth.

Operating expenses

Compensation and benefits

YoY: Up 10% from CHF 4,473 million to CHF 4,906 million

The increase was due to higher performance-related compensation accruals, reflecting higher revenues and, to a lesser extent, higher salaries and related benefits.

QoQ: Up 21% from CHF 4,047 million to CHF 4,906 million

The increase was due to higher performance-related compensation accruals, reflecting higher revenues and the higher compensation accrual rate and, to a lesser extent, higher salaries and related benefits.

General and administrative expenses

YoY: Down 5% from CHF 1,613 million to CHF 1,525 million

The decrease was driven primarily by lower provisions and losses and releases of non-credit related provisions, including a CHF 37 million release in Corporate & Retail Banking. In addition, we recorded a decrease in fees for professional services and a decrease in other expenses.

QoQ: Down 15% from CHF 1,797 million to CHF 1,525 million

The decrease was driven primarily by lower provisions and losses and releases of non-credit related provisions, including a CHF 37 million release in Corporate & Retail Banking. In addition, we recorded a decrease in fees for professional services, occupancy expenses and other expenses. Expenses in 4Q06 included a credit from an insurance settlement and related costs of CHF 34 million and intangible asset impairments of CHF 13 million relating to Assets Management’s realignment.

Commission expenses

YoY: Up 12% from CHF 543 million to CHF 609 million

The increase is due primarily to increased trading volumes in line with higher client activity and, to a lesser extent, higher assets under management.

QoQ: Up 1% from CHF 605 million to CHF 609 million

Commission expenses were flat compared to 4Q06.

Tax

YoY: Up 15% from CHF 715 million to CHF 822 million

The effective tax rate in 1Q07 was stable at 23.0%. The increase in tax expense is due to the increase in income.

QoQ: Up 2% from CHF 805 million to CHF 822 million

The effective tax rate was 23.0% in 1Q07 compared to 23.8% in 4Q06. The increase in tax expense is due to the increase in income.

Personnel

We observed good overall momentum in the hiring and retention of key talent across all our divisions during the first quarter. In January 2007, we granted awards or “incentive share units” to 8,550 employees under our new Group-wide share-based compensation plan. This standardized plan applies to all employees throughout Credit Suisse with an annual bonus of at least CHF 125,000, regardless of their function and level of seniority or the division and location in which they work.

Providing attractive training opportunities is an important tool in the retention of key employees. The Credit Suisse Business School reflects our commitment to continuously develop our talent base by offering a variety of specialist and management training courses both within Credit Suisse and externally. In the first quarter, the Business School received a “best practice award” from the Corporate University XChange for Excellence and Innovation in Corporate Learning in recognition of its efforts to align its training and development offering to Credit Suisse’s strategic objectives.

The number of employees increased by approximately 400 full-time equivalents compared to the end of 4Q06, which resulted from hiring across the front and back office, primarily due to business growth in Investment Banking and Private Banking.

Outsourcing of global telecommunications operations

In a move to further improve efficiency and drive innovation, we reached an agreement to outsource our entire telecommunications activities to British Telecom (BT) and Swisscom in February. Both telecom providers have a long-standing relationship with Credit Suisse. This enhanced partnership involves the management of all our global networking functions, including data, voice, contact center, internet and remote access solutions.

The agreement will allow us to simplify and standardize our global telecommunications infrastructure by reducing the number of telecom suppliers from more than 250 to just two providers. We thereby better leverage our purchasing power, reduce the complexity of our supply chain and limit operational risk. The collaboration will also facilitate our continued expansion into emerging markets by enabling us to leverage BT’s existing capabilities and presence in international locations.

This partnership will also give us access to the very latest telecommunication technologies and services from BT and Swisscom and enable us to enhance our capabilities to deploy new network-enabled products and services. We expect to build on our existing market-leading position in electronic trading and improve the way our clients execute transactions and communicate with us.

The agreement, which has a term of five years, will allow us to benefit from the finance sector’s most competitively priced telecommunications network. Aggregate cost savings are expected to exceed several hundred million Swiss francs by 2012, and there is scope for additional savings if the contract is extended to 2014. The agreement will result in the transfer of more than 200 network and telecommunications professionals from Credit Suisse to BT and Swisscom in May. Reflecting their commitment to innovation, all three partners will sponsor an innovation fund totaling several million Swiss francs to finance the development of new network-based technologies specifically designed to meet our needs.

The provision of a seamless global voice and data communication network will also allow us to offer our employees even greater flexibility – including the improved ability to work from home or while traveling. This has the potential to reduce our real estate footprint and our consumption of energy and other resources, as well as improving the work/life balance of our staff. We have worked closely with supervisory authorities worldwide, including the Swiss Federal Banking Commission, to ensure that this contract meets all relevant regulatory requirements, including rules concerning Swiss banking confidentiality.

Key Performance Indicators

To benchmark our achievements, we have defined a set of integrated bank performance indicators for which we defined targets to be achieved over a three to five year period throughout the market cycles. With the results delivered in 1Q07 and against the backdrop of the healthy economic environment, we are optimistic in achieving our targets.

Growth

For earnings per share, we target a double-digit annual percentage growth. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in 1Q07 was CHF 2.42.

For net new assets, we target a growth rate above 6%. In 1Q07, we achieved a net new asset growth rate of 11.6% and a rolling four quarter average growth rate of 8.0%.

Efficiency

We target efficiency improvements within a top quartile performance compared to the industry. Our Core Results cost/income ratio for 1Q07 was 66.0%.

Performance

For return on equity, we target an annual rate of return of above 20%. In 1Q07, we achieved 25.2%.

Operating environment

In credit markets, activity levels remained strong in both the leveraged finance and emerging markets businesses. Rate products performed well, partly driven by strength in derivatives. In structured products, the dislocation of the US sub-prime mortgage market led to lower market volumes. However, we did not see a contagion effect in the commercial mortgage market, which maintained high levels of liquidity and deal flow. In general, commodities traded at higher volatility levels with positive returns on market indices in the quarter. In equity markets, underwriting activity slowed from the record pace in the latter part of 2006, while trading volumes remained strong. Favorable conditions in mergers and acquisitions continued, with sustained high levels of activity, particularly in the financial sponsor and energy sectors.

Results summary

In 1Q07, income from continuing operations before taxes was CHF 1,990 million, up CHF 426 million, or 27%, compared to 1Q06. Net revenues were a record CHF 6,582 million, up CHF 825 million, or 14%, with increases in all major business areas. Total operating expenses were CHF 4,531 million, up CHF 283 million, or 7%, primarily from higher performance-related compensation expenses reflecting higher revenues. The weakening of the average rate of the US dollar against the Swiss franc by 5% from 1Q06 adversely affected the revenue comparison and favorably impacted the expense comparison.

Compared to the strong 4Q06, income from continuing operations before taxes declined CHF 352 million, or 15%. Net revenues were up CHF 497 million, or 8%, driven by debt underwriting, equity trading and corporate lending activities (included in other revenues), partly offset by lower revenues from equity underwriting and advisory and other fees. Total operating expenses were up CHF 808 million, or 22%, due primarily to higher compensation expenses reflecting both higher revenues and a higher compensation accrual rate in 1Q07 compared to 4Q06.

Overall, we had a good start to the year, achieving record quarterly revenues in our debt underwriting, equity and fixed income trading businesses. Additionally, we benefited from our strong position in credit businesses, including leveraged finance, emerging markets and high grade debt markets. Higher equity trading results were driven by our equity proprietary and cash businesses. The adverse impact from the dislocation of the US sub-prime mortgage market was contained, and the resulting lower revenues in our residential mortgage-backed securities and asset–backed securities businesses were more than offset by strong revenues in other areas in our fixed income business.

We continue to make progress on our cost management initiatives, as general and administrative expenses declined despite increased revenues. Our focus on fixed costs has enabled us to achieve a lower run-rate in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. This reduction in our fixed cost run-rate has been achieved despite growth in volumes and higher activity.

Performance indicators

Pre-tax income margin (KPI)

Our mid-term goal for Investment Banking is a pre-tax income margin of 30% or greater. The 1Q07 pre-tax income margin was 30.2% compared to 27.2% in 1Q06 and 38.5% in 4Q06.

Compensation/revenue ratio

Significant transactions and achievements

We executed a number of significant transactions in the first quarter reflecting the breadth and diversity of our investment banking franchise:

Debt capital markets. We arranged key financings for a diverse set of clients, including Calpine Corporation (US power company), Univision Communications (Spanish-language television channel) and Riverdeep Holdings Ltd (Irish technology company).

Equity capital markets. We led the initial public offerings for Indochina Capital Vietnam Holdings Ltd. (investment fund in Vietnam) and National CineMedia (digital in-theatre network in North America) and arranged the convertible notes offering for Cypress Semiconductor (US technology company).

Mergers & acquisitions. We advised on a number of key transactions that were announced in the quarter, including TXU on its sale to KKR and Texas Pacific Group, which is both the largest US utilities acquisition and the largest leveraged buyout to-date. Other notable transactions included Community Health Systems’ acquisition of Triad Hospitals, State Street Corporation’s acquisition of Investor Financial Services Corporation and Swisscom’s acquisition of Fastweb.

We also received several leading industry awards in the first quarter and improved our industry ranking, including:

– Awards in five out of eight possible industry or product categories in Investment Dealer’s Digest 2006 Deal of the Year Awards

– “Best Investment Bank” and “Best Equity House” in 2006 by Latin Finance magazine

– Our European Equity Research team improved their rank to #2 (from #4) in Institutional Investor magazine’s European Equity Research survey (on the basis of commission weighted votes) and our European Equity sector research was ranked #1 by the High Touch client segment

– We improved our rank to #3 in 2006 (from #4 in 2005) among prime brokers of new European hedge fund mandates (based on new mandates won) according to EuroHedge magazine and won 50 new fund mandates in 2006, up 61% over 2005.

Results detail

The following provides a comparison of our 1Q07 results versus 1Q06 (YoY) and versus 4Q06 (QoQ).

Net revenues

Debt underwriting

YoY:Up 59% from CHF 456 million to CHF 725 million

The increase is due primarily to higher revenues in leveraged finance, reflecting the strength of our syndicated lending business, with improved market share on higher industry volumes and our strong client relationships with financial sponsors. We also had higher revenues in our emerging markets business, partly offset by lower revenues in asset-backed securities resulting from the dislocation of the US sub-prime mortgage market.

QoQ: Up 6% from CHF 686 million to CHF 725 million

The increase reflects higher revenues in leveraged finance, partly offset by lower revenues in asset-backed securities.

Equity underwriting

YoY: Up 25% from CHF 249 million to CHF 311 million

The increase is due primarily to a higher level of industry-wide equity issuance, driven by increases in the initial public offerings and convertibles markets. We increased our market share in the equity follow-on and convertibles markets, but our market share in initial public offerings declined due to lack of participation in a number of larger transactions.

QoQ: Down 36% from CHF 484 million to CHF 311 million

The decline is due to lower industry-wide equity issuance and a lower market share in initial public offerings due to lack of participation in a number of larger transactions. The decline was partly offset by higher revenues from convertibles due to a higher market share, despite lower industry-wide volumes.

Advisory and other fees

YoY: Up 53% from CHF 333 million to CHF 511 million

The improvement is due to increased mergers and acquisitions activity and higher market share in both announced and completed transactions.

QoQ: Down 35% from CHF 785 million to CHF 511 million

The decrease is driven primarily by lower revenues from the private fund group which had a seasonally strong 4Q06. The private fund group raises capital for hedge funds, private equity and real estate funds. Additionally, we recorded lower advisory revenues resulting from a decrease in industry-wide activity and a number of high-fee transactions in 4Q06.

Fixed income trading

YoY: Up from CHF 2,767 million to CHF 2,772 million

The increase is driven primarily by higher revenues in the commercial mortgage-backed securities, US and Europe high grade debt and leveraged finance businesses. The leveraged finance business benefited from our strength in the syndicated lending market. The commodities business continued to grow and the emerging market business continued to perform well in 1Q07. These results were partially offset by lower revenues in the residential mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities businesses resulting from the dislocation in the US sub-prime mortgage market. Additionally, we also recorded lower revenues in fixed income proprietary trading.

QoQ: Up 1% from CHF 2,755 million to CHF 2,772 million

The increase is driven primarily by higher revenues in the leveraged finance, emerging markets and high grade debt businesses. These results were partly offset by lower revenues in the residential mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities businesses resulting from the dislocation in the US sub-prime mortgage market. We recorded lower revenues in the commercial mortgage-backed securities business, which had a strong 4Q06, and in the life insurance finance business.

Equity trading

YoY: Up 5% from CHF 2,077 million to CHF 2,171 million

The increase included higher revenues in equity proprietary trading, which generated good results across most strategies and regions. The cash business also recorded higher revenues, due to growth led by the strong performance of Advanced Execution Services, our algorithmic trading service which is part of our electronic trading platform, as well as increased deal activity and good client flows. Prime services revenues increased as its global platform benefited from growth in client balances and a strong level of new client mandates in 2006. These results were partly offset by lower revenues in derivatives and convertibles which had solid results, but were down compared to the strong 1Q06.

QoQ: Up 36% from CHF 1,596 million to CHF 2,171 million

The increase is driven primarily by higher revenues from the equity proprietary trading and cash businesses.

Other revenues (including loan portfolio)

YoY: Up from CHF (125) million to CHF 92 million

The increase is due primarily to gains on credit default swaps used as an economic hedge of the investment banking loan portfolio compared to losses on such credit default swaps in 1Q06, higher gains from private equity-related investments not managed as part of Asset Management and lower funding costs.

QoQ: Up from CHF (221) million to CHF 92 million

The increase is due primarily to gains on credit default swaps used as an economic hedge of the investment banking loan portfolio compared to losses on such credit default swaps in 4Q06, higher gains from private equity-related investments not managed as part of Asset Management and lower funding costs.

Provision for credit losses

YoY: Up from CHF (55) million to CHF 61 million

The increase is due primarily to additional reserves related to emerging markets loan portfolio growth. While the overall credit environment remained stable in the quarter, the benign credit environment is not expected to continue, which may result in a modest increase in new provision levels towards the end of 2007.

QoQ: Up from CHF 20 million to CHF 61 million

The increase is due primarily to additional reserves related to emerging markets loan portfolio growth.

Operating expenses

Compensation and benefits

YoY: Up 10% from CHF 3,080 million to CHF 3,390 million

The increase is due primarily to higher performance-related compensation expenses reflecting higher revenues. The compensation/revenue ratio of 51.5% in 1Q07 was lower than 53.5% in 1Q06. For 2007, compensation and benefits expense is targeted at 51.5%, with discretionary bonus representing a considerable portion of the total amount. Compensation and benefits for a given year are determined by the strength and breadth of business results, staffing levels and the impact of share-based compensation programs.

QoQ: Up 32% from CHF 2,566 million to CHF 3,390 million

The increase is due primarily to higher performance-related compensation expenses reflecting higher revenues and a higher compensation accrual rate.

General and administrative expenses

YoY: Down 8% from CHF 895 million to CHF 827 million

The decrease is driven primarily by lower expense provisions for legal fees. Most other general and administrative expenses also declined, reflecting our focus on cost management.

QoQ: Down 2% from CHF 847 million to CHF 827 million

The decrease is driven primarily by lower expense provisions for legal fees. The results in 4Q06 included a credit from insurance settlement and related costs of CHF 34 million. Most general and administrative expenses declined, offset in part by an increase in travel and entertainment expenses reflecting increased business activity.

Commission expenses

YoY: Up 15% from CHF 273 million to CHF 314 million

The increase is driven by higher trading volumes in equity and fixed income.

QoQ: Up 1% from CHF 310 million to CHF 314 million

Commission expenses increased slightly compared to 4Q06, reflecting higher business volumes.

Personnel

The increase is driven primarily by broad-based front office recruitment in fixed income, equity and investment banking.

Private Banking

We experienced a favorable operating environment during the quarter, with record assets under management of CHF 973.7 billion, including net new assets of CHF 18.4 billion. Income from continuing operations before taxes was also a record CHF 1,439 million.

During 1Q07, we achieved good growth, while further improving our operating structures with the launches of Clariden Leu and BANK-now. Income from continuing operations before taxes was CHF 1,439 million, up CHF 131 million, or 10%, compared to the previous record in 1Q06. Net revenues were CHF 3,366 million, up CHF 256 million, or 8%, mainly from improved net interest income as a result of lower funding costs and higher liability margins. We also achieved record non-interest-related income driven by higher asset-based revenues, mainly fees from managed assets. Total operating expenses were CHF 1,934 million, up CHF 124 million, or 7%, with increased compensation and benefits from the international expansion in strategic growth markets in Wealth Management partially offset by releases of non-credit-related provisions in Corporate & Retail Banking. Net new assets were CHF 18.4 billion, up CHF 3.6 billion, or 24%, with s trong contributions from all strategic markets, especially Asia, the US and Europe. Assets under management were CHF 973.7 billion, up CHF 91.0 billion, or 10%, reflecting both strong net new asset flows and favorable market movements.

Compared to 4Q06, income from continuing operations before taxes was up CHF 296 million, or 26%. Net revenues were up CHF 393 million, or 13%. We achieved strong revenue growth, particularly net interest income in Wealth Management and commissions and fees in both Wealth Management and Corporate & Retail Banking. Transaction-based revenues in Wealth Management, mainly brokerage fees, were also higher. Total operating expenses were up CHF 63 million, or 3%. Higher performance-related compensation and benefits and costs from the international expansion in Wealth Management were offset in part by a reduction in total other operating expenses in Corporate & Retail Banking.

Operating environment

With a healthy economic background, we observed good market sentiment, continuing growth prospects and strong wealth accumulation in our strategic markets. We experienced good client activity but below the high levels of 1Q06 due to the temporary declines in the equity market. There was continued liquidity and strong demand for structured products. Our issuance activities significantly improved against 4Q06 but were down compared to the strong 1Q06. Against the backdrop of more volatile markets, we made progress to grow our business with a higher contribution from recurring revenues. Assets under management reached a record level, driven by strong net new asset growth and favorable market movements.

Results summary

In 1Q07, income from continuing operations before taxes was CHF 988 million, up CHF 25 million, or 3%, compared to the record in 1Q06. Net revenues were CHF 2,379 million, up CHF 152 million, or 7%, driven by improved recurring revenues, primarily due to lower funding costs and an increased asset base with higher management fees from managed assets. Transaction-based revenues decreased due to lower product issuing fees, which did not reach the high levels of 1Q06, partly offset by higher brokerage fees. Total operating expenses were CHF 1,388 million, up CHF 124 million, or 10%. The international expansion in strategic growth markets remained the main driver of compensation and benefits. Additional premises, front and back office information technology as well as sales and marketing costs reflected the continued expansion of the integrated banking organization. Net new assets were strong at CHF 15.2 billion, up 4.8%, with contributions from all strategic markets, especially in Asia, the US and Europe.

Compared to 4Q06, income from continuing operations before taxes was up CHF 177 million, or 22%. Net revenues were up CHF 302 million, or 15%, driven by both increased recurring and transaction-based revenues. Higher net interest income and asset-based commissions led to higher recurring revenues. The increase in transaction-based revenues was driven by higher brokerage and product issuing fees and client foreign exchange income. Total operating expenses were up CHF 105 million, or 8%, due to higher performance-related compensation reflecting the improved result.

Overall, we had an excellent start to 2007, building on the momentum established in 2006. The number of relationship managers increased by approximately 60 during 1Q07, with a good pipeline of relationship managers scheduled to join us later this year. We continued investing in the growth of our business, while focusing on our operating efficiency.

Performance indicators

Pre-tax income margin (KPI)

Our mid-term target for Wealth Management is a pre-tax income margin above 40.0%. In 1Q07, we reached 41.5%. The pre-tax income margin was 43.2% in 1Q06 and 39.0% in 4Q06.

Net new asset growth rate (KPI)

Our mid-term target for Wealth Management is a growth rate over 6.0%. We achieved an annualized quarterly growth rate of 7.8%. The rolling four quarter average growth rate was 7.0%.

Gross margin

Our gross margin was 118 basis points, down 7 basis points from the record in 1Q06, due to a reduction in transaction-based revenues mainly from lower product issuing fees. The gross margin improved by 9 basis points compared to 4Q06, with higher recurring revenues from lower funding costs and higher management fees as well as higher transaction-based revenues from brokerage and product issuing fees and client foreign exchange income.

Initiatives and achievements

We were selected the “Best Private Bank” in Switzerland, Gibraltar and Monaco by the Euromoney Global Private Banking Survey 2007. This recognition covers client categories, such as super affluent, high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and offshore services.

During 1Q07 we continued the international roll out of our global advisory process. For further information see page 34.

As one outcome of our client centricity initiative, we established dedicated entrepreneur desks, which became fully operational at the beginning of 1Q07 to serve the needs of this growing client segment across the integrated banking organization. We also continued to implement our cross-divisional, key account management structure for Switzerland, which allows us to provide our key clients with targeted solutions leveraging our resources around the globe.

At the beginning of the year, Clariden Leu became fully operational as a single, independent private bank, with a brand and media campaign raising its profile. During the quarter, we continued with the middle and back office integration. Clariden Leu acquired a small, private banking business in Hong Kong and planned the launch of a new office in Dubai, which is opening later in the year.

Results detail

The following provides a comparison of our 1Q07 results versus 1Q06 (YoY) and versus 4Q06 (QoQ).

Net revenues

Recurring

Recurring revenues arise from net interest income, commissions and fees related to assets under management and assets under custody and fees for general banking products and services.

YoY: Up 16% from CHF 1,306 million to CHF 1,517 million

The increase is due to higher net interest income, mainly attributable to lower funding costs and higher liability margins and volumes, higher commissions and fees from the strong growth in assets under management and higher management fees.

QoQ: Up 13% from CHF 1,339 million to CHF 1,517 million

The increase is due to higher net interest income from lower funding costs, as well as higher commissions and fees related to growth in assets under management and higher management fees.

Transaction-based

Transaction-based revenues arise primarily from brokerage fees, product issuing fees, client foreign exchange income and other transaction-based income.

YoY: Down 6% from CHF 921 million to CHF 862 million

The decrease mainly reflected lower revenues from product issuing fees and realized gains in 1Q06 from an equity participation, offset in part by higher brokerage fees.

QoQ: Up 17% from CHF 738 million to CHF 862 million

The increase is due to higher brokerage and product issuing fees, related to the increased client activity, and higher client foreign exchange transactions.

Provision for credit losses

YoY: From CHF nil to CHF 3 million

In the current favorable credit environment, provisions remained low.

QoQ: From CHF (17) million to CHF 3 million

The increase was largely due to the release of a single provision in 4Q06.

Operating expenses

Compensation and benefits

YoY: Up 9% from CHF 735 million to CHF 799 million

The higher costs reflected the growth in headcount from the international expansion in strategic growth markets and an increase in salaries and related benefits, partly offset by lower performance-related compensation accruals, due to the introduction of the Group-wide share-based compensation plan.

QoQ: Up 12% from CHF 714 million to CHF 799 million

The higher costs reflected the growth in headcount as we continue to invest in international markets, as well as an increase in salaries and related benefits. They also reflect higher performance-related compensation accruals reflecting the improved results.

General and administrative expenses

YoY: Up 9% from CHF 370 million to CHF 405 million

Additional premises, front and back office information technology and sales and marketing costs reflected the continued expansion of the integrated banking organization.

QoQ: From CHF 403 million to CHF 405 million

Costs remained relatively flat, with the increase from infrastructure costs due to the continued international expansion offset, in part, by seasonally lower sales and marketing costs.

Commission expenses

YoY: Up 16% from CHF 159 million to CHF 184 million

The increase was related to changes in client activity and the product mix in brokerage and product issuing.

QoQ: Up 11% from CHF 166 million to CHF 184 million

The increase was related to higher client activity.

Personnel

Within the last 12 months, we increased the number of relationship managers by approximately 160, an expansion of 6%. We saw good hiring momentum in all our targeted growth markets and we have a good pipeline of new hires as we move into the second quarter.

Rolling out a global client advisory process

The Credit Suisse Advisory Process is a structured five-stage approach that enables us to create a customized financial solution for each individual client. Three of the five steps are designed to gain targeted information about the client and to better understand his or her specific needs:

– First step: Analysis of the client’s needs and expectations

– Second step: Development of a financial concept

– Third step: Definition of the investor profile

– Fourth step: Development of the client’s investment strategy

– Fifth step: Implementation of the strategy and active monitoring of the client’s portfolio.

Based on surveys conducted in Switzerland, we have learned that the provision of expert advice and client care is by far the most important criterion determining client satisfaction (assigned 48 of a total of 100 points by clients). This is followed by the quality of products and services (20 points), value for money (17 points) and image and reputation (15 points).

Since 2005, we have been implementing the standardized process to advise our clients in a holistic manner. The Credit Suisse Advisory Process is already implemented in most of our markets and, during 1Q07, we continued the global roll out in Italy, the UK, Monaco, Australia and the Bahamas. As a result, our relationship managers in these countries will now apply an even more thorough structured advisory approach. Clients are increasingly seeking comprehensive asset and liability management and tailored solutions on a global delivery platform. The Credit Suisse Advisory Process is our response to this growing demand, which opens up enormous potential for our integrated banking organization.

The global roll out of our Advisory Process will be completed by 2008 and our experience shows a significant impact on client satisfaction and improved profitability. Surveys in Switzerland reveal that clients are more satisfied with the services provided by their relationship manager when this process is applied. This is primarily attributable to the fact that clients understand the proposed financial solution better if it is defined using a step-by-step process. In addition, our relationship managers use state-of-the-art tools, which enable them to continuously monitor client portfolios and to provide continuous, specially tailored advice. The subsequent increase in client satisfaction also leads to higher volumes of trading, increased net new assets and more frequent referrals.

The Advisory Process is one of Credit Suisse’s core processes and is constantly being refined and improved. Going forward, we aim to further leverage the process in order to gain an even greater understanding of our clients’ needs and to drive innovation by developing new client-focused value propositions. In addition, we continuously expand the process to include more products and services that are tailored to specific client segments. The linking of this process to our online advisory capabilities will also provide us with new opportunities to further enhance client satisfaction.

Corporate & Retail Banking

We benefited from the acceleration of economic growth and the continued favorable credit environment in Switzerland during 1Q07. We launched BANK-now and increased capital efficiency with the securitization of a significant loan portfolio. Income from continuing operations before taxes was CHF 451 million.

Operating environment

During 1Q07, the Swiss economy gained momentum, as the mood of consumers was supported by the rise in employment. The Swiss National Bank continued its course of gradual key rate rises. We have seen a continued favorable credit environment reflected in the low levels of new provisions. We observed further pressure on spreads and risk premiums, but maintained our disciplined approach on credit risk taking, with rejection rates increasing towards the end of the quarter.

Results summary

In 1Q07, income from continuing operations before taxes was CHF 451 million, up CHF 106 million, or 31%, compared to 1Q06. Net revenues were CHF 987 million, up CHF 104 million, or 12%. Net interest income benefited from very favorable liability margins and increased volumes, offset in part by asset margin pressure. Net interest income also reflected lower funding costs. Total operating expenses remained unchanged at CHF 546 million. Net new assets were CHF 3.2 billion, up CHF 2.9 billion, due to healthy inflows from retail clients and small and mid-sized pension funds.

Compared to 4Q06, income from continuing operations before taxes was up CHF 119 million, or 36%. Net revenues were up CHF 91 million, or 10%, with strong growth in asset-based commissions and fees. Total operating expenses were down CHF 42 million, or 7%, reflecting the release of non-credit related provisions of CHF 37 million from the resolution of two separate client matters, offsetting an increase in performance-related compensation.

Our performance in 1Q07 was strong, reflecting a favorable set of economic parameters, resulting in improved liability margins and lower levels of provisions for credit losses.

Performance indicators

Pre-tax income margin (KPI)

Our mid-term goal for Corporate & Retail Banking is a pre-tax income margin of above 40.0%. In 1Q07, we reached 45.7%, compared to 39.1% in 1Q06 and 37.1% in 4Q06.

Cost/income ratio

The cost/income ratio for 1Q07 was 55.3%, compared to 61.8% in 1Q06 and 65.6% in 4Q06.

Pre-tax return on average utilized economic capital

The pre-tax return on average utilized economic capital for 1Q07 was 74.0%, compared to 48.4% in 1Q06 and 49.7% in 4Q06.

Initiatives and achievements

During the quarter, we successfully completed Clock Finance No. 1, a synthetic collateralized loan obligation transaction, which transfers part of the credit risk on a CHF 4.8 billion loan portfolio of small and medium-sized Swiss companies to the capital markets. The transaction is part of our active credit portfolio management program. From a risk management perspective, Clock Finance No. 1 is an effective economic hedge.

In a move to further improve our operational structure in Switzerland and provide a more targeted response to clients’ growing demand for consumer finance, we consolidated our private credit and car leasing businesses to form BANK-now at the beginning of 1Q07, supported by a branding campaign.

We further implemented our branch excellence plan with the redesign of over a dozen branches. Over the next couple of months, we will redesign a significant number of additional branches.

Results detail

The following provides a comparison of our 1Q07 results versus 1Q06 (YoY) and versus 4Q06 (QoQ).

Net revenues

Net interest income

YoY: Up 16% from CHF 508 million to CHF 590 million

The increase was due to a very favorable liability margin on an increased deposit base and lower funding costs. This was partly offset by a lower asset margin from continuing market pressure.

QoQ: Up 1% from CHF 582 million to CHF 590 million

The higher interest margin on liabilities was mainly offset by a lower interest margin on assets, due to ongoing margin pressure.

Total non-interest income

YoY: Up 6% from CHF 375 million to CHF 397 million

The increase included higher revenues from asset-based commissions and fees, as well as additional revenues related to minority interests of a consolidated joint venture, offset in part by lower transaction-based revenues.

QoQ: Up 26% from CHF 314 million to CHF 397 million

The increase included higher revenues from asset-based commissions and fees, as well as higher transaction-based revenues from brokerage and product issuing fees and additional revenues related to minority interests of a consolidated joint venture.

Provision for credit losses

YoY: From CHF (8) million to CHF (10) million

In the continued favorable credit environment, we benefited from a low level of new credit provisions and the net release of credit provisions. We expect reductions in future releases of credit provisions, due to the lower level of impaired loans.

QoQ: From CHF (24) million to CHF (10) million

The increase was due to the higher release of provisions in 4Q06.

Operating expenses

Compensation and benefits

YoY: Up 5% from CHF 336 million to CHF 353 million

The increase was due to an increase in salaries and related benefits, partly offset by slightly lower performance-related compensation accruals, due to the introduction of the Group-wide share-based compensation plan.

QoQ: Up 9% from CHF 323 million to CHF 353 million

The increase was driven by higher performance-related compensation accruals.

General and administrative expenses

YoY: Down 9% from CHF 181 million to CHF 164 million

The decrease was driven by net releases of non-credit related provisions of CHF 37 million, partly offset by additional expenses related to minority interests of a consolidated joint venture and higher sales and marketing costs.

QoQ: Down 30% from CHF 233 million to CHF 164 million

The decrease was driven by net releases of non-credit related provisions and seasonally lower sales and marketing costs, partly offset by additional expenses related to minority interests of a consolidated joint venture.

Commission expenses

YoY: Unchanged at CHF 29 million

Commission expenses were stable.

QoQ: Down 9% from CHF 32 million to CHF 29 million

Commission expenses were relatively stable.

Asset Management

In a broadly supportive market, we achieved very strong sales, significantly above any previous periods. Net new assets were strong at CHF 29.0 billion, and assets under management stood at CHF 708.6 billion. Income from continuing operations before taxes was CHF 257 million.

Operating environment

Despite increased volatility in equity markets, the economic environment in 1Q07 continued to be broadly supportive of our asset-gathering activity. In terms of asset allocation, we have seen some evidence of rebalancing from equities into more defensive strategies, such as high grade and money market products. We also observed significant investor interest for credit products, especially in the areas of high-yield and emerging markets. Private equity and leveraged finance activities continued at record levels, driven in part by attractive debt markets. US real estate markets were mixed in 1Q07, with the residential market weaker but the commercial sector remaining strong. European and Asian real estate markets remained strong.

Results summary

In 1Q07, income from continuing operations before taxes was CHF 257 million, up CHF 23 million, or 10%, compared to 1Q06. Assets under management increased to CHF 708.6 billion as of the end of 1Q07, up from CHF 669.9 billion as of the end of 4Q06. Net new assets stood at CHF 29.0 billion, and market and foreign exchange-related movements were CHF 9.7 billion. Net new assets included strong inflows of CHF 18.3 billion in money market assets, CHF 1.2 billion in fixed income assets, CHF 2.4 billion in balanced assets and CHF 8.0 billion in alternative investments. These inflows were partially offset by an outflow in equity assets of CHF 1.8 billion due to client terminations as a result of the realignment in the US. Net revenues were CHF 776 million, up CHF 20 million, or 3%, compared to 1Q06, which was positively impacted by a CHF 85 million gain arising from the sale of assets in an emerging market investment fund. Total o perating expenses were CHF 519 million, down CHF 1 million, as the decline in general and administrative expenses offset higher compensation and benefits and commission expenses.

Compared to 4Q06, income from continuing operations before taxes was up CHF 168 million, or 189%. Net revenues were up CHF 38 million, or 5%. Total operating expenses were down CHF 129 million, or 20%, primarily reflecting the substantial completion of the realignment as well as lower expense provisions and most other general and administrative expenses. 4Q06 included a CHF 22 million provision relating to a non-proprietary third-party hedge fund product and CHF 33 million of realignment costs.

We are pleased with the progress made in 1Q07. We largely achieved the intended goals from our realignment in 2006 and we experienced increased momentum in attracting new talent. We also saw further benefits from the integrated banking organization, with a higher level of referrals from Private Banking and Investment Banking. We successfully launched a number of innovative products, which contributed significantly to the very strong level of net new assets. The diversification of our asset base continued to expand to our satisfaction, with the asset mix reflecting our emphasis on value-added products and services.

Performance indicators

Pre-tax income margin (KPI)

Our mid-term goal is a pre-tax income margin of above 35.0%. In 1Q07, pre-tax income margin was 33.1% compared to 31.0% in 1Q06 and 12.1% in 4Q06.

Net new asset growth rate

In 1Q07, we achieved an annualized quarterly growth rate of 17.3% compared to 11.5% in 1Q06 and (1.8)% in 4Q06. The rolling four quarter average growth rate increased to 10.1% in 1Q07 compared to 6.8% in 1Q06 and 8.6% in 4Q06.

Gross margin

The gross margin on assets under management was 45 basis points in 1Q07 compared to 50 basis points in 1Q06, which included a CHF 85 million gain arising from the sale of assets in an emerging market investment fund. The gross margin on assets under management before private equity and other investment-related gains was 37 basis points in 1Q07 compared to 36 basis points in 1Q06.

Initiatives and achievements

In money market products, strong performance across all US products continued. The Credit Suisse Institutional Money Market Fund ‘Prime Portfolio Class A’ was ranked #1 in Total Return for the 12-month periods ending January, February and March 2007 by iMoneyNet. In fixed income products, bond returns were modest, although most of our fixed income products were at or above benchmark for the quarter. In the UK, we were awarded “Best Emerging Markets Group” in Professional Adviser’s Awards 2007. In the Netherlands, Credit Suisse Bond (Lux) High Yield Euro B fund was awarded first place in the category Bond Euro-High Yield over three years in Lipper’s Fund Awards 2007. In Switzerland, Credit Suisse Bond Dynamic £ fund was awarded first place in the category Bond Pound Sterling over five and ten years in Lipper’s Fund Awards 2007.

We launched a series of well-received products, with the Credit Suisse SICAV One (Lux) Total Return Defender and Total Return Challenger funds raising CHF 305 million in 1Q07, which we consider one of our most successful product launches in Switzerland. Our product innovation also included CS POINTS International certificates, which raised CHF 178 million in 1Q07. CS POINTS International is the first insurance-linked product available to private investors in Switzerland.

We experienced strong market demand in our real estate products. We leveraged our global platform to make real estate investments outside the US in our Real Estate Opportunity fund. Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund Interswiss increased its capital position and gathered an additional CHF 120 million of assets under management. In March 2007, the Sihlcity shopping mall in Zurich, one of our largest real estate investments, opened.

In private equity, we continued to pursue our strategy of focusing primarily on the middle market and we had successful sales of investments, including Wastequip, Inc. and Advanstar Holding Corp. Our focus is on a disciplined investment approach, while the integrated banking organization enables us to capitalize on attractive investment opportunities. We augmented our existing Asian private equity footprint, which includes a joint venture with China Renaissance Capital Investment, by adding a team of six investment professionals to Credit Suisse Private Equity Asia.

We continued to strengthen our distribution capabilities, especially in Asia Pacific. In 1Q07, we successfully launched four additional global products into the Korean market through Woori Credit Suisse Asset Management Co., Ltd., our joint venture with Woori Financial Group. Across all products, we raised over CHF 600 million of assets under management in 1Q07.

Since launching the first product in Korea on October 1, 2006, we have raised CHF 816 million of assets under management in this market.

Results detail

The following provides a comparison of our 1Q07 results versus 1Q06 (YoY) and versus 4Q06 (QoQ).

Net revenues

Net revenues before private equity and other investment-related gains include management fees from asset management, performance fees and fees from fund administration services provided to clients. Private equity and other investment-related gains include realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and performance-related carried interest.

Fixed income and money market, equity, balanced and other

YoY: Up 24% from CHF 353 million to CHF 436 million

This increase included higher fees reflecting the growth in balanced, fixed income and money market assets under management. Equity revenues were lower due to outflows in equity assets. The increase in other revenues largely reflected lower funding costs.

QoQ: Up 10% from CHF 398 million to CHF 436 million

This increase included higher fees reflecting the growth in balanced, fixed income and money market assets under management. Equity revenues were lower, primarily due to outflows in equity assets of CHF 1.8 billion from client terminations following the realignment in the US. The increase in other revenues largely reflected lower funding costs.

Alternative

YoY: Up 8% from CHF 197 millionto CHF 212 million

This increase primarily reflected higher revenues from diversified strategies, mainly as a result of our real estate activities.

QoQ: Down 15% from CHF 248 million to CHF 212 million

This decrease was mainly due to a decline in private equity fees and commissions, a reflection of seasonally higher placement fees in 4Q06 for fund raising commitments in connection with private equity funds.

Private equity and other investment-related gains

YoY: Down 38% from CHF 206 millionto CHF 128 million

This decrease reflected a CHF 85 million gain in 1Q06 arising from the sale of assets in an emerging market investment fund.

QoQ: Up 39% from CHF 92 millionto CHF 128 million

This increase was primarily the result of gains from successful sales of investments, including Wastequip, Inc. and Advanstar Holding Corp.

Operating expenses

Compensation and benefits

YoY: Up 13% from CHF 261 million to CHF 296 million

This increase reflected our ongoing efforts to hire new investment talent and build product development and distribution capabilities. It is also a result of higher performance-related compensation accruals due to the introduction of the Group-wide share-based compensation plan, increased pension and retirement costs and slightly higher bonus accruals.

QoQ: Down 9% from CHF 327 million to CHF 296 million

This decrease was mainly due to severance costs of CHF 20 million in 4Q06 relating to the realignment and lower deferred compensation, partly offset by higher bonus accruals.

General and administrative expenses

YoY: Down 30% from CHF 175 million to CHF 122 million

This decrease reflected a decline in most general and administrative expenses as a result of disciplined expense management. 1Q06 also included costs associated with the branding implementation and related advertising costs.

QoQ:Down 42% from CHF 211 million to CHF 122 million

This decrease reflected lower expense provisions and a decline in most other general and administrative expenses. 4Q06 included a CHF 22 million provision relating to a non-proprietary third-party hedge fund product and intangible asset impairments of CHF 13 million relating to the realignment.

Commission expenses

YoY: Up 20% from CHF 84 million to CHF 101 million

This increase in commission expenses reflected substantially higher assets under management.

QoQ: Down 8% from CHF 110 million to CHF 101 million

This decrease was mainly due to a reduction in third-party commission expenses.

Personnel

Our total headcount remained stable. We successfully completed a number of strategic hires in investment management, product development and distribution, significantly strengthening our capabilities in these key areas. This increase in headcount was largely offset by the reduction in personnel as a result of the realignment.

Assets under management

Assets under management

Assets under management comprise assets which are placed with us for investment purposes and include discretionary and advisory counterparty assets.

Discretionary assets are assets for which the customer fully transfers the discretionary power to a Group entity with a management mandate. Discretionary assets are reported in the division in which the advisory services are provided as well as the division in which distribution takes place. Any duplication of assets managed on behalf of other divisions is deducted at the Group level.

Advisory assets include assets placed with us where the client is provided access to investment advice but retains discretion over investment decisions.

As of the end of 1Q07, the Group’s assets under management amounted to CHF 1,551.5 billion, up CHF 169.2 billion, or 12.2%, compared to the end of 1Q06. Compared to the end of 4Q06, assets under management were up CHF 66.4 billion, or 4.5%. This reflects the strong growth in net new assets, positive market performance and foreign exchange rate movements.

In Private Banking, assets under management were up CHF 91.0 billion, or 10.3%, compared to the end of 1Q06, and CHF 33.4 billion, or 3.6%, compared to the end of 4Q06. In Asset Management, the increase was CHF 89.0 billion, or 14.4%, compared to the end of 1Q06, and CHF 38.7 billion, or 5.8%, compared to the end of 4Q06.

Net new assets

Net new assets include individual cash and securities transactions and new or repaid loans. Interest and dividend income credited to clients, commissions, interest and fees charged for banking services are considered investment performance and not included in net new assets, as they do not reflect success in acquiring assets under management. Furthermore, changes due to currency and market movements as well as asset inflows and outflows due to the acquisition or divestiture of businesses are not part of net new assets.

Net new assets were CHF 43.0 billion in 1Q07, up CHF 15.8 billion, or 58.1%, compared to 1Q06, and up CHF 36.1 billion, or 523.2%, compared to 4Q06.

Private Banking realized net new asset inflows of CHF 18.4 billion in 1Q07, with strong contributions from all strategic markets, especially Asia, the US and Europe. In 1Q07, Asset Management recorded strong net new assets of CHF 29.0 billion, mainly money market assets and alternative investment assets.

Client assets

Client assets is a broader measure than assets under management as it includes transactional and custody accounts (assets held solely for transaction-related or safekeeping/custody purposes) and assets of corporate clients and public institutions used primarily for cash management or transaction-related purposes.

Balance Sheet, Capital and Risk

Balance Sheet

Our balance sheet is managed in line with our capital resources and risk. We describe the main balance sheet trends in this section.

Capital Management

We allocate capital to our businesses based on our internal economic capital measure. Developments in our statutory shareholders’ equity and regulatory BIS capital are also described in this section.

Risk Management

Risk management is a continuous process that extends well beyond formal policies, methodologies and tools. Nonetheless, the position risk, Value-at-Risk and credit risk measures presented in this section provide a good overview of our exposure levels.

Balance Sheet

With the continued growth of our business, our balance sheet grew accordingly. Total assets increased to CHF 1,359.7 billion and total liabilities increased to CHF 1,315.7 billion.

Total assets were CHF 1,359.7 billion as of the end of 1Q07, up from CHF 1,256.0 billion as of the end of 4Q06 driven by increases in Investment Banking. Trading assets increased CHF 64.3 billion reflecting an increase in equity securities of CHF 39.1 billion and an increase in debt securities of CHF 19.8 billion. Other assets increased CHF 30.7 billion due primarily to an increase in loans held-for-sale of CHF 19.2 billion and increased brokerage receivables of CHF 10.3 billion, mainly in the prime brokerage business.

Total liabilities were CHF 1,315.7 billion as of the end of 1Q07, up from CHF 1,212.4 billion as of the end of 4Q06. Due to banks increased CHF 23.5 billion and customer deposits increased CHF 37.5 billion reflecting increases in both Investment Banking and Private Banking. In addition, trading liabilities increased CHF 18.6 billion and other liabilities increased CHF 11.3 billion, mainly due to an increase in brokerage payables in the prime brokerage business. These increases occurred primarily in Investment Banking.

Centralization of capital markets funding activities

At the end of 1Q07, following approval from the Swiss Federal Banking Commission, we strengthened our funding and liquidity model by centralizing debt issuance and the funding of our subsidiaries. As a result, new securities for funding and capital purposes will now be issued primarily by the Bank, our principal operating subsidiary and now a US registrant. The consolidation of these functions is a logical step forward in view of the efforts to focus expertise and resources to maximize efficiency within the integrated global organization.

Our funding and liquidity disciplines were traditionally split into two main channels or “funding franchises”: i) the Bank funding franchise, in which funds were raised directly by the Bank, which had access to stable deposit-based core funds and the inter-bank markets and ii) the non-bank funding franchise, in which funds were raised by non-bank subsidiaries, principally Credit Suisse (USA), Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group.

This complex two-tier structure meant that parallel systems had to be maintained to measure, monitor and manage liquidity. In addition, multiple names were used in the market to raise funds. To simplify this process, we decided to look for a more efficient solution that would enable us to fund all our branches and subsidiaries centrally. As a result of the new model, we will now be able to issue debt more efficiently, simplify our issuance structure and broaden our debt investor base. A further benefit is that we will be able to use a single name in the capital markets to raise long-term debt globally, thus providing us with greater flexibility when issuing securities.

Our treasury department will now focus on redirecting significant fund flows in order to achieve the objectives of this project. Credit Suisse (USA) Inc.’s SEC registered debt securities are now guaranteed by the Bank on a senior basis and by the Group on a subordinated basis. Credit Suisse (USA), Inc., which no longer files periodic reports as a registrant with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, will continue to be separately rated but is not expected to issue any new securities.

The funding of our businesses is coordinated across Credit Suisse with a mixture of unsecured and secured funding. Unsecured funding is primarily accessed through the Bank’s substantial retail and private bank deposit base, which is well diversified across customer categories, funding types and geography. Additional unsecured funding is accessed via borrowings in the wholesale and institutional deposit markets. Unsecured funding principally includes certificates of deposits, long-term borrowings and, to a lesser extent, commercial paper. Unsecured liabilities are issued through various debt programs.

Secured funding consists of collateralized short-term borrowings, which include securities sold under agreements to repurchase and securities loaned. Additional funding is also sourced via short-term intercompany borrowings from other Group entities on both a secured and unsecured basis.

The Bank lends funds to its operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed, the latter typically to meet capital requirements, or as desired by management to support business initiatives. Capital is distributed to the segments considering factors such as regulatory capital requirements, utilized economic capital and the historic and future potential return on capital. Transfer pricing, using market rates, is used to record interest income and expense in each of the segments for this capital and funding.

Capital Management

In 1Q07, Credit Suisse Group’s economic capital coverage ratio moved up 3 percentage points from 168% to 171% due to increased Tier 1 capital. The Group’s consolidated BIS Tier 1 ratio was 13.2% as of the end of 1Q07, a decrease from 13.9% as of the end of 4Q06.

BIS statistics

Our consolidated BIS Tier 1 ratio was 13.2% as of the end of 1Q07, a decrease from 13.9% as of the end of 4Q06. This decrease was driven by business growth. Risk-weighted assets increased by CHF 17.6 billion compared to the end of 4Q06, primarily related to commercial and private lending activities, over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trading and an increase in market risk equivalents. Tier 1 capital increased CHF 694 million from the end of 4Q06, with the positive contribution of net income offset by dividend accruals and the deduction for shares repurchased through our share buyback program. We completed the share buyback program approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in 2005 during March 2007, repurchasing a total of 87.8 million common shares in the amount of CHF 6.0 billion. In 1Q07, 11.4 million common shares in the amount of CHF 1.0 billion were repurchased. The Group intends to seek shareholder a pproval at its next Annual General Meeting in May 2007 to launch a new share repurchase program of up to CHF 8 billion. If approved by the shareholders, the program will commence after the Annual General Meeting and last for a maximum of three years. The shares would be repurchased through a second trading line on virt-x and cancelled. Our shareholders’ equity increased from CHF 43.6 billion as of the end of 4Q06 to CHF 44.0 billion as of the end of 1Q07, primarily due to the 1Q07 net income partially offset by the cumulative impact from changes in accounting principles due to the adoption of SFAS 157 and SFAS 159. Changes from the adoption of SFAS 159 on non-trading positions had no effect on the Tier 1 capital.

For further details, see “Notes to the Financial Statements – Recently adopted accounting standards – SFAS 157/SFAS 159” in the Credit Suisse Group Financial Statement 1Q07.

Economic capital

We assess risk and economic capital adequacy using our economic capital model. Economic capital is designed to measure all quantifiable risks associated with the Group’s activities on a consistent and comprehensive basis. Economic capital is the estimated capital needed to remain solvent and in business, even under extreme market, business and operational conditions, given the institution’s target financial strength (i.e. long-term credit rating).

Economic capital is calculated separately for position risk, operational risk and other risk. These three risk categories measure different types of risk:

Position risk the level of unexpected loss in economic value on the Group’s portfolio of positions over a one-year horizon that is exceeded with a given, small probability (1% for risk management purposes; 0.03% for capital management purposes).

Operational risk the level of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events over a one-year horizon that is exceeded with a small probability (0.03%). Estimating this type of economic capital is inherently more subjective, and reflects both quantitative tools as well as senior management judgment.

Other risk the risk not captured by the above, for example expense risk and owned real estate risk. Expense risk is defined as the difference between expenses and revenue in a severe market event, exclusive of the elements captured by position risk and operational risk. Owned real estate risk is defined as the risk associated with the buildings owned by us.

Position risk, operational risk and other risk are used to determine our utilized economic capital.

Utilized economic capital trends in 1Q07

Over the course of 1Q07, the utilized economic capital on the Group level was practically stable, despite increased business volumes, reflecting our continued efforts to optimize the utilization of our capital. For Investment Banking, utilized economic capital increased 2%, mainly due to a higher international lending and counterparty position risk exposure, while Asset Management was flat over the period. The utilized economic capital for Corporate & Retail Banking decreased 9% due to lower position risk resulting from the Clock Finance No. 1 transaction. Wealth Management decreased 8% due to lower lending position risk exposure and reduced shared services usage.

Capital adequacy trends in 1Q07

The economic capital coverage ratio remained strong, increasing marginally from 168% to 171% over the first quarter of 2007 due to changes in the Tier 1 capital over the period.

Risk Management

In 1Q07, Credit Suisse Group’s overall position risk, measured on the basis of the economic risk capital model, remained flat compared with 4Q06. Average value-at-risk (VaR) for the Group’s trading books increased 11% to CHF 78 million. We continued to benefit from a favorable credit environment, reporting a net increase of provision for credit losses of CHF 53 million in 1Q07.

Economic capital (position risk)

Economic capital represents our core top-level risk management tool. We use it to assess, monitor, report and limit risk exposures at many levels of the organization. The Board of Directors and senior management are regularly provided with economic capital results, trends and ratios, together with supporting explanations to ensure risk transparency and support senior management in managing risk.

We use economic capital in our capital allocation process and related performance measures. Moreover, economic capital serves as a reference point for the structured assessment of the Group’s aggregate risk appetite in relation to its financial resources, recognizing that comprehensive analyses must also take into account factors that are outside the scope of the economic capital framework (for example, strategy, economic and competitive environment and external constraints such as those imposed by regulators or rating agencies).

We continually review the methodology used to measure economic capital in order to make sure the model remains relevant as markets and business strategies evolve. If the economic capital methodology changes based on these reviews, prior period balances are restated in order to show meaningful trends.

Position risk trends 1Q07

Over the course of 1Q07, the 1-year, 99% position risk was flat compared to 4Q06. The key movements by risk categories were as follows:

Fixed income trading down 10%: Due to reduced interest rate and commodity exposures in Investment Banking.

Equity trading and investments up 5%: Due to increased traded equity exposures partially offset by reductions in private equity.

Swiss corporate and retail lending down 7%: Due to the transfer of credit risk following the Clock Finance No. 1 transaction.

International lending and counterparty exposures up 18%: Primarily due to increased leveraged finance exposures and counterparty risk in Investment Banking. Year-on-year this increase was partially offset by increased credit hedges in Investment Banking.

Emerging markets down 6%: Due to reduced emerging market exposures and an improvement in the credit risk profile following emerging market country rating upgrades.

Real estate and structured assets down 5%: Due to decrease in residential sub-prime loan inventory following securitizations.

Market risk

We assume market risk primarily through the trading activities in Investment Banking. The other divisions also engage in some trading activities, but to a much lesser extent.

Trading risks are measured using VaR as one of a range of risk measurement tools. VaR is the potential loss in fair value of trading positions due to adverse market movements over a defined time horizon and for a specified confidence level. In order to show the aggregate market risk in our trading books, the table above shows the trading-related market risk on a consolidated basis, as measured by a 10-day VaR scaled to a one-day holding period and based on a 99% confidence level. This means there is a 1-in-100 chance of incurring a daily mark-to-market trading loss that is at least as large as the reported VaR.

Credit Suisse’s average one-day, 99% VaR in 1Q07 was CHF 78 million compared to CHF 70 million during 4Q06 and CHF 71 million during 1Q06. The increase was mainly due to the introduction of a new methodology to better capture certain equity risks, as explained below.

Various techniques are used to assess the accuracy of the VaR model, including backtesting. Daily backtesting profit and loss is compared with VaR calculated using a one-day holding period. Backtesting profit and loss is a subset of actual trading revenue and includes only the profit and loss effects from movements in financial market variables such as interest rates, equity prices and foreign exchange rates on the previous night’s positions. A backtesting exception occurs when the daily loss exceeds the daily VaR estimate.

We had two backtesting exceptions during the first quarter of 2007 due to market stress events in late February and early March. During this period, market volatility was larger than the volatility reflected in the VaR model.

We regularly review our VaR model to ensure that it remains appropriate given evolving market conditions and the composition of our trading portfolio. Towards the end of 1Q07, we introduced an enhanced approach for modeling certain equity risks. If this methodology had been in place as of the end of 4Q06, the period-end Total VaR would have been CHF 105 million rather than CHF 89 million and the equity VaR would have been CHF 77 million rather than CHF 57 million. In addition, we are now extending the length of the historical data set used in the VaR model beyond two years so that it captures more historical events. Given current positions and market conditions, these changes will tend to make the VaR model more conservative.

The histogram entitled “Credit Suisse trading revenues” reflects the distribution of daily actual trading revenues during 1Q07, 4Q06 and 1Q06. The width of this distribution provides another indication of the day-to-day risk in our trading activities.

We assume non-trading interest rate risk primarily through the financial intermediation activities of the Private Banking division, where a number of products have no contractual maturity date or direct market-lined interest rate, such as variable mortgages or savings accounts. The resulting interest rate risks are transferred from the originating businesses to Global Treasury, which actively manages the risk position within approved limits. In addition, non-trading interest rate risks also arise out of the maintenance of highly rated security portfolios to meet certain liquidity requirements. Over the course of the first quarter 2007, the overall non-trading interest sensitivity did not change materially. As of the end of 1Q07, the impact of a one basis point change, i.e. 0.01% parallel increase in interest rates on a portfolio’s fair value, amounted to USD (2.9) million compared to USD (3.0) million at the end of 4 Q06.

1    As the maximum and minimum occur on different days for different risk types, it is not meaningful to calculate a portfolio diversification benefit.

Credit risk

We encounter credit risk in our lending related businesses, in counterparty trading and through issuer risk in trading assets. The majority of our credit risk is concentrated in the Investment Banking and Private Banking segments. The credit risks taken on by Private Banking are usually collateralized. During 1Q07, Private Banking closed a synthetic collateralized loan obligation (Clock Finance No. 1), which transferred the credit risk on a CHF 4.8 billion portfolio of Credit Suisse originated loans of predominantly small and medium-sized Swiss companies, although the loans remain on our balance sheet. In Investment Banking, a significant portion of credit risk-related businesses are mitigated through cash and marketable collateral or transferred to the market by credit derivatives largely reducing credit risk in economic terms.

Loan exposure

Our total gross loan exposure increased 2% to CHF 214.3 billion as of the end of 1Q07 compared with the end of 4Q06. In Investment Banking, gross loan exposure increased from CHF 44.6 billion to CHF 46.7 billion due to an increase in commercial and industrial loans. In Private Banking, gross loan exposure in the Wealth Management segment was CHF 71.7 billion as of 1Q07, an increase of CHF 2.5 billion from 4Q06 primarily in corporate loans, while gross loan exposure in the Corporate & Retail Banking segment of CHF 95.7 billion as of the end of 1Q07 is virtually unchanged, as increases in mortgages to private clients were offset by decreased exposure to corporate clients.

Compared to the end of 4Q06, our total non-performing loans declined 11% and gross impaired loans declined 12% as of 1Q07 driven by a significant reduction in non-performing loans in Investment Banking, as well as a reduction in non-performing and other impaired loans in Private Banking. Coverage of total impaired loans by valuation allowances at the Group increased from 70% as of the end of 4Q06 to 78% as of the end of 1Q07, while coverage of total non-performing loans improved from 93% to 102% primarily due to repayments of non-performing loans in Investment Banking.

In 1Q07, we recorded net new provision for credit losses of CHF 53 million, compared to a net release of provision for credit losses of CHF 20 million in 4Q06. The net credit expense reflects the estimated loss allowance for non-impaired loans as a result of loan growth.

Segment reporting

The Group is a global financial services company domiciled in Switzerland. The Group’s business consists of three segments: Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management. The three segments are complemented by Shared Services, which provides support in the areas of finance, operations, including human resources, legal and compliance, risk management and information technology.

The segment information reflects the Group’s reportable segments as follows:

– Investment Banking offers investment banking and securities products and services to corporate, institutional and government clients around the world. Its products and services include debt and equity underwriting, sales and trading, mergers and acquisitions advice, divestitures, corporate sales, restructuring and investment research.

– Private Banking offers comprehensive advice and a broad range of wealth management solutions, including pension planning, life insurance products, tax planning and wealth and inheritance advice, which is tailored to the needs of high-net-worth individuals worldwide. In Switzerland, it supplies banking products and services to high-net-worth, corporate and retail clients.

– Asset Management offers integrated investment solutions and services to institutions, governments and private clients globally. It provides access to the full range of investment classes, ranging from money market, fixed income, equities and balanced products, to alternative investments such as real estate, hedge funds, private equity and volatility management.

Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group and certain expenses that have not been allocated to the segments. In addition, Corporate Center includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.

Minority interest-related revenues and expenses resulting from the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities in which the Group does not have a significant economic interest in such revenues and expenses are reported as Minorities without significant economic interest. The consolidation of these entities does not affect net income as the amounts recorded in net revenues and total operating expenses are offset by corresponding amounts reported as minority interests. In addition, our income tax expense is not affected by these revenues and expenses.

Christel Aranda-Hassel

Director, European Economics Department

April 16, 2007 – Canary Wharf, London

Christel Aranda-Hassel is a director working as senior economist at Credit Suisse’s Investment Banking division. Her team consists of five economists covering the Western European economies. They make growth, inflation and interest rate forecasts basing their work on released macroeconomic indicators and surveys. Ms Aranda-Hassel’s research focuses on the German economy and the monetary policy of the European Central Bank.

Ms Aranda-Hassel is pictured in front of the bank’s meeting rooms at its London headquarters in Canary Wharf. Credit Suisse transferred its operations to Canary Wharf in 1993. Today more than 15 percent of the Group’s global workforce is based there.

A sparing and sustainable approach to dealing with nature’s resources is important to Credit Suisse. For this reason the “Financial Review 1Q07” was printed on paper that is made from at least 50 percent recycled fibers. And at least 17.5 percent of the fibre used to manifacture this paper comes from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the US GAAP consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006. For a description of the Group’s significant accounting policies, see note 1 “Summary of significant accounting policies” of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements.

Due to the Group’s sale of Winterthur, which was completed on December 22, 2006, the results of operations of the Winterthur businesses sold, which were previously reported as a separate segment of the Group, are reflected in Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented through the completion of the sale.

Certain financial information, which is normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP but not required for interim reporting purposes have been condensed or omitted. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The presentation of period over period change has been added for convenience of the reader and is not a required presentation under US GAAP.

The results of operations for interim periods are not indicative of results for the entire year.

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions, which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently adopted accounting standards

The following provides the most relevant recently adopted accounting standards. For a complete description of recently adopted accounting standards, see note 2 “Recently issued accounting standards” in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.

EITF 04-5, FSP SOP 78-9-1 and EITF 96-16

In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (EITF 04-5). EITF 04-5 provides a framework for evaluating whether a general partner or a group of general partners controls a limited partnership and therefore should consolidate it. EITF 04-5 states that the presumption of general partner control would be overcome only when the limited partners have substantive “kick-out rights” or “participating rights.” These rights would allow a simple majority of the limited partners to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner “without cause” or effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinar y course of the partnership business. EITF 04-5 was effective upon ratification for all newly formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that have been modified. The guidance was effective for the Group with respect to existing unmodified partnerships as of January 1, 2006.

As a result of the ratification of EITF 04-5, EITF Issue No. 96-16, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights” (EITF 96-16) was updated and FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. SOP 78-9-1, “Interaction of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-5” (FSP SOP 78-9-1) was issued. The amendments to EITF 96-16 were effective on a prospective basis upon issuance, whereas, similar to EITF 04-5, FSP SOP 78-9-1 was effective upon issuance for all new partnerships formed and for existing partnership agreements modified after June 29, 2005, and was effective for the Group with respect to existing unmodified partnerships as of January 1, 2006.

The changes to EITF 96-16 and the provisions of EITF 04-5 and FSP SOP 78-9-1 in effect during 2005 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of January 1, 2006, the Group increased its assets and liabilities by CHF 8.2 billion, primarily due to the consolidation of certain unmodified private equity partnerships which existed prior to June 29, 2005.

SFAS 155

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (SFAS 155), which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (SFAS 140). Under SFAS 155, hybrid financial instruments which contain embedded derivatives that would otherwise require bifurcation may be accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of income. The fair value designation may be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis; however, the election to apply fair value accounting is irrevocable. SFAS 155 is effective for those instruments acquired or issued on or after an entity’s fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year for which an entity has not previously issued interim financial statements. SFAS 155 allows limited retrospective application for existing bifurcated hybrid financial instruments. The Group elected to early adopt SFAS 155 as of January 1, 2006, and the impact of adoption was an increase to the Group’s consolidated retained earnings of CHF 33 million, which included gross gains after tax of CHF 119 million and gross losses after tax of CHF 86 million, and a corresponding decrease to the Group’s consolidated liabilities of CHF 33 million.

FIN 48

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions by prescribing a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

FIN 48 requires a two-step process in evaluating income tax positions. In the first step, an enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that an income tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Income tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are then measured to determine the amount of benefit eligible for recognition in the financial statements. Each income tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007 resulted in a decrease in beginning retained earnings of CHF 13 million. For further information, see note 16 “Tax.”

SFAS 158

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to:

(i) recognize in the statement of financial condition the funded status of a defined benefit plan on a prospective basis;

(ii) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions” (SFAS 87) or No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions” (SFAS 106). Amounts recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), including gains or losses, prior service costs or credits and transition assets or obligations remaining from the initial application of SFAS 87 and SFAS 106, are to be adjusted as they are subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost;

(iii) measure the defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial condition; and

(iv) disclose in the notes to the financial statements additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits and transition asset or obligation.

SFAS 158 recognition provisions associated with the funded status of a defined benefit plan are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The provision to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial condition is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted.

The cumulative effect of the Group adopting the recognition provisions of SFAS 158 as of December 31, 2006, was an after-tax decrease in AOCI and consolidated net assets of CHF 1.8 billion. The Group did not early adopt the measurement date provisions and is evaluating the impact of those provisions for adoption in 2008.

SFAS 157

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures for instruments carried at fair value. The statement applies only to fair value measurements which are already required or permitted by other accounting standards. It eliminates the EITF Issue No. 02-3 “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities” (EITF 02-3) guidance which prohibits the recognition of gains or losses at the inception of derivative transactions whose fair value is estimated based upon unobservable market data. SFAS 157 also eliminates the use of blockage factors on instruments that are quoted in active markets by brokers, dealers and invest ment companies that have been applying the applicable AICPA Audit and Accounting Guides. SFAS 157 also requires the Group to consider its own credit spreads when measuring the fair value of liabilities. The Group adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2007. As a result of this adoption the Group reported an increase in opening retained earnings of CHF 187 million, net of tax. For further information, see note 21 “Fair value of financial instruments.”

SFAS 159

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 creates an alternative measurement treatment for certain financial assets and financial liabilities that permits fair value to be used for initial and subsequent measurement with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The availability of this alternative measurement treatment is referred to as the fair value option. The statement also provides for additional financial statement presentation and disclosures relating to the alternative measurement treatment. The Group adopted the provisions of SFAS 159 on January 1, 2007. As a result of adoption and election of certain existing instruments under the fair value option, the Group reported a decrease in opening retained earnings of CHF 1,003 million, net of tax. For further information, see note 21 “Fair value of financial instruments.”

Note 2 Business developments

Divestitures

Effective December 22, 2006, the Group sold Winterthur to AXA S.A. for cash consideration of CHF 12.3 billion. As part of the sale agreement, AXA S.A. repaid approximately CHF 1.1 billion of debt outstanding between the Group and Winterthur. As a result of the completed sale, a net capital gain on the sale of CHF 1,817 million was recognized. The Group did not provide any indemnification in respect of Winterthur’s insurance reserves in the sale agreement.

The results of operations of the businesses sold are reflected in Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented through the completion of the sale.

No income from discontinued operations was recognized in 1Q07. In 4Q06 and 1Q06 income from discontinued operations, net of tax was CHF 2,074 million and CHF 286 million, respectively.

Note 3 Segment reporting

Overview

The Group is a global financial services company domiciled in Switzerland. The Group’s business consists of three segments: Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management. The three segments are complemented by Shared Services, which provides support in the areas of finance, operations, including human resources, legal and compliance, risk management and information technology.

The segment information reflects the Group’s reportable segments as follows:

– Investment Banking offers investment banking and securities products and services to corporate, institutional and government clients around the world. Its products and services include debt and equity underwriting, sales and trading, mergers and acquisitions advice, divestitures, corporate sales, restructuring and investment research.

– Private Banking offers comprehensive advice and a broad range of wealth management solutions, including pension planning, life insurance products, tax planning and wealth and inheritance advice, which is tailored to the needs of high-net-worth individuals worldwide. In Switzerland, it supplies banking products and services to high-net-worth, corporate and retail clients.

– Asset Management offers integrated investment solutions and services to institutions, governments and private clients globally. It provides access to the full range of investment classes, ranging from money market, fixed income, equities and balanced products, to alternative investments such as real estate, hedge funds, private equity and volatility management.

Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group and certain expenses that have not been allocated to the segments. In addition, Corporate Center includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.

Minority interest-related revenues and expenses resulting from the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities in which the Group does not have a significant economic interest in such revenues and expenses are reported as Minorities without significant economic interest. The consolidation of these entities does not affect Net income as the amounts recorded in Net revenues and Total operating expenses are offset by corresponding amounts reported as minority interests. In addition, tax expense is not affected by these revenues and expenses.

Revenue sharing and cost allocation

Responsibility for each product is allocated to a segment, which records all related revenues and expenses. Revenue-sharing and service level agreements govern the compensation received by one segment for generating revenue or providing services on behalf of another. These agreements are negotiated periodically by the relevant segments on a product-by-product basis.

The aim of revenue-sharing and cost allocation agreements is to reflect the pricing structure of unrelated third-party transactions.

Corporate services and business support in finance, operations, including human resources, legal and compliance, risk management and information technology are provided by the Shared Services area. Shared Services costs are allocated to the segments and the Corporate Center based on their requirements and other relevant measures.

Funding

The Bank lends funds to its operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed, the latter typically to meet capital requirements, or as desired by management to support business initiatives. Capital is distributed to the segments considering factors such as regulatory capital requirements, utilized economic capital and the historic and future potential return on capital. Transfer pricing, using market rates, is used to record interest income and expense in each of the segments for this capital and funding.

Taxes

The Group’s segments are managed and reported on a pre-tax basis.

Note 16 Tax

Credit Suisse adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of FIN 48, an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of approximately CHF 13 million was recognized as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of Retained earnings. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, as of January 1, 2007, was CHF 1,485 million.

Included in the January 1, 2007 balance were tax positions of CHF 16 million, for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. On January 1, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was CHF 1,412 million.

Credit Suisse continues to recognize interest and penalties accrued relating to unrecognized tax benefits as current income taxes in Income tax expense. Approximately CHF 298 million was accrued as of January 1, 2007 for the payment of interest and penalties, net of any tax benefit associated with the payment of these amounts.

Credit Suisse is currently subject to ongoing tax audits and inquiries with the tax authorities in a number of jurisdictions including the US, the UK and Switzerland. Although the timing of the completion of these audits is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that some of these audits and inquiries will be resolved within 12 months of the adoption date of January 1, 2007. However, quantification of an estimate of the range of the reasonable possible change in unrecognized tax benefits cannot be made at this time.

Credit Suisse remains open to examination from either federal, state, provincial or similar local jurisdictions from the following years onward in these major countries: Japan – 2005; Switzerland – 2004; the UK –1997; and the US – 1993.

Note 17 Employee share-based compensation and other benefits

Share-based compensation

The Group’s share-based compensation is an important part of the overall compensation package for select employees and senior executives. Share-based compensation is designed to promote employee retention and align the interests of employees and shareholders. The majority of share-based compensation is granted as part of the annual incentive performance bonus subsequent to the fiscal year to which the incentive performance bonus relates. Share-based compensation is generally subject to restrictive features such as vesting, forfeiture and blocking rules. For further information on share-based compensation plans and the related fair value assumptions, see note 24 “Employee share-based compensation and other benefits” in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.

Compensation expense

Compensation expense in any year includes a variable compensation expense for that year’s discretionary cash performance bonus and fixed expenses for share-based awards granted in prior years. Recognition in the consolidated statements of income of expense relating to awards granted in prior years is dependent primarily upon the vesting period, which is determined by the plan, retirement eligibility of employees, moratorium periods and certain other terms.

Total compensation expense for share-based compensation recognized in the consolidated statements of income in Compensation and benefits was CHF 646 million and CHF 323 million in the first quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and CHF 496 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. As of March 31, 2007, the total estimated unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share-based compensation of CHF 3,533 million will be recognized over the remaining weighted-average requisite service period of 2.0 years.

The Group generally repurchases its own shares in the open market to satisfy these obligations but can also issue new shares out of available conditional capital. Through March 31, 2007, the Group delivered approximately 5.9 million shares to employees. The Group expects to repurchase approximately 28 million shares during 2007 in connection with its share-based compensation.

Credit Suisse Incentive Share Unit (ISU)

In January 2007, as part of the 2006 remuneration process, the Group aligned its share-based compensation plans and introduced ISUs. Previously granted awards will continue to settle under their original terms and are not affected by the ISU. An ISU is a unit that is similar to shares, but offers additional upside depending on the development of the Credit Suisse Group share price. For each ISU granted, the employee will receive at least one Credit Suisse Group share. In addition, the leverage component can deliver additional upside, which will be determined by the monthly average Credit Suisse Group share price over the three-year period following the grant. Each ISU will vest at a rate of one-third of a share per year over three years, with the potential additional shares vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date, depending on the development of the leverage component.

On January 23, 2007, the Group granted 26.7 million ISUs. The compensation expense recognized during the first quarter of 2007 related to ISUs was CHF 321 million. The estimated unrecognized compensation expense related to ISUs as of March 31, 2007, is CHF 2,050 million and will be recognized over a period of three years, subject to the early retirement rules. None of the ISUs were vested as of March 31, 2007.

Performance Incentive Plan (PIP)

As part of its annual incentive performance bonus process for 2004 and 2005, the Group granted PIP units during 2005 (PIP I) and 2006 (PIP II), respectively. PIP units are long-term retention incentive awards requiring continued employment with the Group, subject to restrictive covenants and cancellation provisions, and vest evenly over a five-year period. Each PIP unit will settle for a specified number of Credit Suisse Group registered shares subsequent to the fifth anniversary of the grant date based on the achievement of: i) earnings performance as compared to predefined targets; and ii) share price performance compared to predefined targets and share price performance relative to peers.

The compensation expense recognized during the first quarter of 2007 related to PIP I and PIP II was CHF 114 million. The estimated unrecognized compensation expense related to PIP I and PIP II as of March 31, 2007, is CHF 581 million. None of the PIP units were deliverable as of March 31, 2007.

Shares

In addition to the PIP, the Group’s share-based compensation in prior years has included three different types of share awards: phantom shares; longevity premium awards (LPA); and special awards. These share awards entitle the holder to receive one Credit Suisse Group registered share subject to continued employment with the Group, restrictive covenants and cancellation provisions, and generally vest between zero and three years.

The compensation expense recognized in the first quarter of 2007 related to shares awarded under phantom share, LPA and special awards was CHF 211 million. The estimated unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards as of March 31, 2007, is CHF 902 million.

Share options

Options were a substantial component of the Group’s share-based program prior to 2004. The Group has discontinued the practice of issuing options and the majority of the original grants have since vested. Share options were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Credit Suisse Group’s shares on the date of grant and expire after ten years.

Note 18 Pension

Credit Suisse Group previously disclosed in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006, that it expected to contribute CHF 372 million to the defined benefit pension plans and to other post-retirement defined benefit plans in 2007. As of March 31, 2007, CHF 155 million of contributions have been made.

Guarantees provided by the Group are broadly classified as follows: Credit guarantees and similar instruments, Performance guarantees and similar instruments, Securities lending indemnifications, Derivatives and Other guarantees. For a detailed description of guarantees, see note 28 “Guarantees and commitments” in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.

Deposit-taking banks in Switzerland and certain other European countries are required to ensure the payout of privileged deposits in case of specified restrictions or compulsory liquidation of a deposit-taking bank. Upon occurrence of a payout event, the Group’s contribution will be calculated based on its share of privileged deposits in proportion to total privileged deposits. These deposit insurance guarantees are reflected in Other guarantees in the table above. The Group believes that the likelihood of having to pay under these agreements is remote.

Disposal-related contingencies and other indemnifications

The Group has certain guarantees for which its maximum contingent liability cannot be quantified. These guarantees are not reflected in the table above and are discussed below.

Disposal-related contingencies

In connection with the sale of assets or businesses, the Group sometimes provides the acquirer with certain indemnification provisions. These indemnification provisions vary by counterparty in scope and duration and depend upon the type of assets or businesses sold. These indemnification provisions generally shift the potential risk of certain unquantifiable and unknowable loss contingencies (e.g., relating to litigation, tax and intellectual property matters) from the acquirer to the seller. The Group closely monitors all such contractual agreements in order to ensure that indemnification provisions are adequately provided for in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Other indemnifications

The Group provides indemnifications to certain counterparties in connection with its normal operating activities, for which it is not possible to estimate the maximum amount that it could be obligated to pay. As a normal part of issuing its own securities, the Group typically agrees to reimburse holders for additional tax withholding charges or assessments resulting from changes in applicable tax laws or the interpretation of those laws. Securities that include these agreements to pay additional amounts generally also include a related redemption or call provision if the obligation to pay the additional amounts results from a change in law or its interpretation and the obligation cannot be avoided by the issuer taking reasonable steps to avoid the payment of additional amounts. Since such potential obligations are dependent on future changes in tax laws, the related liabilities the Group may incur as a result of such chang es cannot be reasonably estimated. In light of the related call provisions typically included, the Group does not expect any potential liabilities in respect of tax gross-ups to be material.

The Group is a member of numerous securities exchanges and clearing houses and may, as a result of its membership arrangements, be required to perform if another member defaults. The Group has determined that it is not possible to estimate the maximum amount of these obligations and believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these arrangements is remote.

For a detailed description of off-balance sheet commitments, see note 28 “Guarantees and commitments” in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.

Note 20 Variable interest entities

FIN 46(R) requires the Group to consolidate all variable interest entities (VIE) for which it is the primary beneficiary, defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of expected losses, receive a majority of the expected residual returns, or both. The Group consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary.

As a normal part of its business, the Group engages in transactions with entities that are considered VIEs. These transactions include selling or purchasing assets, acting as a counterparty in derivatives transactions and providing liquidity, credit or other support. Transactions with VIEs are generally executed to facilitate securitization activities or to meet specific client needs, such as providing liquidity or investment opportunities, and as part of these activities, the Group may retain interests in VIEs. In general, investors in consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Group in the event of a default, except where a guarantee was provided to the investors or where the Group is the counterparty to a derivative transaction involving VIEs.

As of March 31, 2007, the Group consolidated all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary under FIN 46(R). Net income was unaffected as offsetting minority interests were recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

The Group’s involvement with VIEs may be broadly grouped into three primary categories: Collateralized debt obligations (CDO), Commercial paper conduits (CP conduits) and Financial intermediation. For further information on the Group’s policy on consolidation of VIEs and the nature of the Group’s involvement with these entities, see note 1 “Summary of significant accounting policies,” note 2 “Recently issued accounting standards” and note 29 “Transfers and servicing of financial assets” in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.

Collateralized debt obligations

As part of its structured finance business, the Group purchases loans and other debt obligations from and on behalf of clients for the purpose of securitization.

The Group has consolidated all CDO VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary resulting in the inclusion by the Group of approximately CHF 8.8 billion and CHF 6.5 billion of assets and liabilities of these VIEs as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The beneficial interests issued by these VIEs are payable solely from the cash flows of the related collateral, and the creditors of these VIEs do not have recourse to the Group in the event of default.

The Group also retains certain debt and equity interests in open CDO VIEs that are not consolidated because the Group is not the primary beneficiary. The Group’s exposure in these CDO transactions typically consists of the interests retained in connection with its underwriting or market-making activities. The Group’s maximum loss exposure is generally equal to the carrying value of these retained interests, which are reported as Trading assets and carried at fair value and totaled CHF 2.3 billion and CHF 1.7 billion as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Commercial paper conduits

The Group continues to act as the administrator and provider of liquidity and credit enhancement facilities for several CP conduits. The Group does not sell assets to the CP conduits and does not have any ownership interest in the CP conduits. The Group’s commitments to CP conduits consist of obligations under liquidity and credit enhancement agreements.

As of March 31, 2007, the Group’s maximum loss exposure to non-consolidated CP conduits was CHF 15.7 billion, which consisted of CHF 9.8 billion of funded assets and the CP conduits’ commitments to purchase CHF 5.9 billion of additional assets. As of December 31, 2006, the Group’s maximum loss exposure was CHF 12.5 billion.

The Group believes that the likelihood of incurring a loss equal to this maximum exposure is remote because the assets held by the CP conduits, after giving effect to related asset-specific credit enhancement primarily provided by the clients, must be classified as investment grade when acquired by the CP conduits.

Financial intermediation

The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients. The investors typically retain the risk of loss on such transactions but the Group may provide principal protection on the securities to limit the investors’ exposure to downside risk.

As a financial intermediary, the Group may administer or sponsor the VIE, transfer assets to the VIE, provide collateralized financing, act as a derivatives counterparty, advise on the transaction, act as investment advisor or investment manager, act as underwriter or placement agent or provide credit enhancement, liquidity or other support to the VIE. The Group also own securities issued by the VIEs structured to provide clients with investment opportunities, for market-making purposes and as investments. The Group’s maximum loss exposure to non-consolidated VIEs related to Financial intermediation activities was CHF 18.2 billion and CHF 19.1 billion as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which represents the notional amount of any guarantees from the Group and the fair value of all other Group interests held, rather than the amount of total assets of the VIEs. Further, the Group considers the likelihood of incurring a loss equal to the maximum exposure to be remote because of the Group’s risk mitigation efforts, including hedging strategies, and the risk of loss that is retained by investors.

Note 21 Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the majority of the Group’s financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets or observable inputs. These instruments include government and agency securities, commercial paper, most investment-grade corporate debt, most high-yield debt securities, exchange traded and certain over-the-counter (OTC) derivative instruments, most CDOs, most mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, certain residential mortgage whole loans and listed equity securities.

In addition, the Group holds financial instruments for which no prices are available and which have little or no observable inputs. For these instruments, the determination of fair value requires subjective assessment and varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, concentration, pricing assumptions and the risks affecting the specific instrument. In such circumstances, valuation is determined based on management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These instruments include certain investment-grade corporate debt securities, certain high-yield debt securities, distressed debt securities, certain CDOs, certain OTC derivatives, certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, non-traded equity securities and private equity and other long-term investments. Valuation techniques for certain of these ins truments are described in greater detail below.

The Group has availed itself of the simplification in accounting offered under the fair value option, primarily in the Investment Banking segment. This has been accomplished generally by electing the fair value option, both at initial adoption and for subsequent transactions, on items impacted by the hedge accounting requirements of SFAS 133 primarily in this segment. That is, for instruments where we are economically hedged and unable to achieve SFAS 133 hedge accounting, we have elected the fair value option for these instruments. Likewise, for activities managed on a fair value basis where we have been previously unable to achieve fair value accounting, we have utilized the fair value option to align our risk management accounting to our financial reporting.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Financial instruments recorded in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value have been categorized based upon the relative reliability of the fair value measures in accordance with SFAS 157 (the fair value hierarchy).

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows in SFAS 157:

- Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group has the ability to access. This level of the fair value hierarchy provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.

- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers or in which little information is publicly available; (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

- Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Group’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which include the Group’s own data. The Group’s own data used to develop unobservable inputs is adjusted if information indicates that market participants would use different assumptions.

The Group records net open positions at bid prices if long, or at ask prices if short, unless the Group is a market maker in such positions in which case mid pricing is utilized. Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs.

Prior to January 1, 2007, net costs of originating or acquiring mortgage loans held for sale were recognized as part of the initial loan carrying value, with any subsequent change in fair value being recognized as a component of Trading revenues. For such loans where the fair value option has been elected, net costs are now recognized on a gross basis as fee income and/or expense.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that have been classified within level 3. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses related to assets and liabilities within level 3 presented in the table above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

We employ various economic hedging techniques in order to manage risks, including risks in level 3 positions. Such techniques may include the purchase or sale of financial instruments which are classified in levels 1 and/or 2. The realized and unrealized gains and losses related to assets and liabilities in level 3 presented in the table above do not reflect the related realized or unrealized gains and losses arising from economic hedging instruments classified in levels 1 and/or 2.

Qualitative Disclosures of Valuation Techniques

Trading assets and trading liabilities

Money market instruments

Traded money market instruments include instruments such as bankers’ acceptances, certificates of deposit, commercial papers, book claims, treasury bills and other rights, which are held for trading purposes. Valuations of money market instruments are generally based on observable inputs.

Trading securities

The Group’s trading securities consist of interest-bearing securities and rights and equity securities. Interest-bearing securities and rights include debt securities, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities and CDOs. Equity securities include common equity shares, convertible bonds and separately managed funds.

For debt securities for which market prices are not available, valuations are based on yields reflecting the perceived risk of the issuer and the maturity of the security, recent disposals in the market or other modeling techniques, which may involve judgment.

Values of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities are generally available through quoted prices, which are often based on the prices at which similarly structured and collateralized securities trade between dealers and customers. Values of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities for which there are no significant observable inputs are valued using valuation models incorporating prepayment scenarios and Monte Carlo simulations.

Collateralized debt, bond and loan obligations are split into various structured tranches, and each tranche is valued based upon its individual rating and the underlying collateral supporting the structure. Values are derived by using valuation models to calculate the internal rate of return of the estimated cash flows.

The majority of the Group’s positions in equity securities are traded on public stock exchanges for which quoted prices are readily and regularly available. Fair values of preferred shares are determined by their yield and the subordination relative to the issuer’s other credit obligations. Convertible bonds are generally valued using observable pricing sources. For a small number of convertible bonds, no observable prices are available, and valuation is determined using internal and external models, for which the key inputs include stock price, dividend rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, prepayment rates and equity market volatility.

Derivatives

Positions in derivatives held for trading purposes include both OTC and exchange-traded derivatives. The fair values of exchange-traded derivatives are typically derived from observable exchange prices and/or observable inputs. The fair values of OTC derivatives are determined on the basis of internally developed proprietary models using various inputs. These inputs include those characteristics of the derivative that have a bearing on the economics of the instrument.

The determination of the fair value of many derivatives involves only a limited degree of subjectivity because the required inputs are observable in the marketplace. Other, more complex derivatives use unobservable inputs. Specific unobservable inputs include long-dated volatility assumptions on OTC option transactions and recovery rate assumptions for credit derivative transactions. Uncertainty of pricing inputs and liquidity are also considered as part of the valuation process.

Other trading assets

Other trading assets primarily include residential mortgage loans which are purchased with an intent to securitize. Valuations for traded residential mortgage loans are based on pricing factors specific to loan level attributes, such as loan-to-value ratios, current balance and liens. In addition, current written offers or contract prices are considered in the valuation process.

Investment securities

Investment securities recorded at fair value include debt and equity securities. These debt and equity securities are quoted in active or inactive markets. These instruments include government and corporate bonds.

Other investments

The Group’s other investments include hybrid instruments, private equity and other alternative capital investments.

Private equity and other long-term investments include direct investments and investments in partnerships which make private equity and related investments in various portfolio companies and funds. Private equity investments and other long-term investments consist of both publicly traded securities and private securities. Publicly traded investments which are restricted or which are not quoted in active markets are valued based upon quotes with appropriate adjustments for liquidity or trading restrictions. Private securities are valued taking into consideration a number of factors, such as the most recent round of financing involving unrelated new investors, earnings multiple analyses using comparable companies or discounted cash flow analyses.

Internally-managed funds include partnerships and related direct investments for which the Group acts as the fund’s advisor and makes investment decisions. Internally-managed funds principally invest in private securities and, to a lesser extent, publicly traded securities and fund of funds partnerships. The fair value of investments in internally-managed fund of funds partnerships is based on the valuation received from the underlying fund manager and is reviewed by us. The fair value of investments in other internally-managed funds is based on the Group’s valuation. Balances for internally-managed funds also include amounts relating to the consolidation of private equity funds under EITF 04-5 and FIN 46(R). A substantial portion of the investments held by the private equity funds consolidated primarily under EITF 04-5 and FIN 46(R) is reflected in level 3. Funds managed by third parties include investments in funds managed by an external fund manager. The fair value of these funds is based on the valuation received from the general partner of the fund and is reviewed by us.

Loans

The Group’s loans include primarily corporate, consumer, mortgage and emerging market loans. The fair value of loans, primarily corporate and emerging market loans within the Investment Banking segment, is based on quoted prices, where available. Where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated using implied credit spreads derived from credit default swaps for the specific borrower. Where credit default swaps for a particular borrower are not available, a matrix of similar entity implied credit spreads from credit default swaps is constructed to derive an implied credit spread for that particular borrower. Alternatively, fair value is determined utilizing unobservable inputs and a discounted cash flow analysis.

Short-term borrowings and long-term debt

The Group’s short-term borrowings and long-term debt include structured notes (hybrid financial instruments which are both bifurcatable and non-bifurcatable) and vanilla debt. The fair value of these debt instruments is based on quoted prices, where available. Where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated using yield curves for similar maturities, taking into consideration the impact of the Group’s own credit spread on these instruments.

Other assets and other liabilities

The Group’s other assets and other liabilities include mortgage loans held in conjunction with securitization activities and assets and liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations which do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under SFAS 140. The fair value of mortgage loans held in conjunction with securitization activities is determined on a whole-loan basis or an “as-if” securitized basis depending on the principal market in which the loans will be transacted. Whole-loan valuations are calculated using yield curves for similar maturities for similar loans using discounted cash flow analyses. “As-if” securitized loans valuations are calculated using inputs consistent with similar securitized loans with quoted prices. The fair value of assets and liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations which do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under SFAS 140 is determined based on the quoted prices for securitized bonds, where available, or on cash flow analyses for securitized bonds when quoted prices are not available.

Fair Value Option

Upon adoption of SFAS 159, the Group elected the fair value option for certain of its financial instruments included in the following captions:

Central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions: The Group has elected to account for structured resale agreements and most matched book resale agreements held as of January 1, 2007 and those entered into after January 1, 2007 at fair value. These activities are managed on a fair value basis, thus fair value accounting is deemed more appropriate for reporting purposes. The Group did not elect the fair value option for firm financing resale agreements as these agreements are generally overnight agreements which approximate fair value, but which are not managed on a fair value basis.

Other investments: The Group has elected to account for certain equity method investments held as of January 1, 2007 and certain of those entered into after January 1, 2007 at fair value. These activities are managed on a fair value basis, thus fair value accounting is deemed more appropriate for reporting purposes. Certain similar instruments, such as those relating to equity method investments in strategic relationships, for example, the Group’s ownership interest in certain clearance organizations, which were eligible for the fair value option election, were not elected due to the strategic relationship.

Loans: The Group has elected to account for certain Investment Banking corporate loans and loan commitments and certain Investment Banking emerging market loans (of which both types are considered foreign loans) held as of January 1, 2007 and those entered into after January 1, 2007 at fair value. These activities are managed on a fair value basis, thus fair value accounting is deemed more appropriate for reporting purposes. Additionally, recognition on a fair value basis eliminates the mismatch that currently exists due to the economic hedging the Group employs to manage these loans. Certain similar loans, such as project finance, lease finance, cash collateralized and bridge loans, which were eligible for the fair value option election, were not elected due to the lack of currently available infrastructure to fair value such loans and/or the inability to economically hedge such loans. Additionally, the Group elect ed not to account for loans granted by its Private Banking segment at fair value, including corporate, consumer and mortgage loans, as these loans are not managed on a fair value basis.

Other assets: The Group did not elect the fair value option for loans held for sale as of January 1, 2007. The Group elected the fair value option for new loans entered into after January 1, 2007 due to the short period over which such loans are held and the intention to sell such loans in the near term. Other assets also include assets of VIEs and mortgage securitizations which do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under SFAS 140. For such assets existing as of January 1, 2007, the Group did not elect the fair value option due to the operational effort to change the accounting for existing items reflected in its consolidated financial statements. The fair value option was elected for transactions entered into after January 1, 2007.

Due to banks: The Group elected the fair value option for certain time deposits associated with its emerging markets activities entered into after January 1, 2007.

Customer deposits: The Group’s customer deposits include fund-linked deposits. The Group elected the fair value option for these fund-linked deposits as of January 1, 2007 and those entered into after January 1, 2007. Fund-linked products are managed on a fair value basis, thus fair value accounting is deemed more appropriate for reporting purposes.

Central bank funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions: The Group has elected to account for structured repurchase agreements and most matched book repurchase agreements held as of January 1, 2007 and those entered into after January 1, 2007 at fair value. These activities are managed on a fair value basis, thus fair value accounting is deemed more appropriate for reporting purposes. The Group did not elect the fair value option for firm financing repurchase agreements as these agreements are generally overnight agreements which approximate fair value, but which are not managed on a fair value basis.

Short-term borrowings: The Group’s short-term borrowings include hybrid debt instruments with embedded derivative features. Some of these embedded derivative features create bifurcatable debt instruments. The Group elected the fair value option for some of these instruments as of January 1, 2006 in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 155. New bifurcatable debt instruments which were entered into in 2006 are carried at fair value in accordance with SFAS 155. Some hybrid debt instruments do not result in bifurcatable debt instruments. The adoption of SFAS 159 permits the Group to elect fair value accounting for non-bifurcatable hybrid debt instruments (and bifurcatable non-financial debt instruments). With the exception of certain bifurcatable hybrid debt instruments, which the Group did not elect to account for at fair value upon adoption of SFAS 155, the Group has elected to account for all hybrid debt inst ruments held as of January 1, 2007 and hybrid debt instruments originated after January 1, 2007 at fair value. These activities are managed on a fair value basis, thus fair value accounting is deemed appropriate for reporting purposes. There are two main populations of similar instruments for which fair value accounting was not elected. The first relates to the lending business transacted by the Group’s Private Banking segment, which includes structured deposits and similar investment products. These are managed on a bifurcated or accrual basis, thus fair value accounting is not considered appropriate. The second relates to instruments which were or will be maturing in the near term and whose fair value will be realized at that time.

Long-term debt: The Group’s long-term debt includes hybrid debt instruments with embedded derivative features as described above in Short-term borrowings. The Group’s long-term debt also includes debt issuances managed by its central Treasury department which do not contain derivative features (vanilla debt). The Group actively manages the interest rate risk on these instruments with derivatives; in particular, fixed-rate debt is hedged with receive-fixed, pay-floating interest rate swaps. The Group has availed itself of the simplification objective of the fair value option to elect fair value for this fixed-rate debt and will no longer be required to maintain hedge documentation to achieve a similar financial reporting outcome.

Other liabilities: Other liabilities include liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations which do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under SFAS 140. For such liabilities existing as of January 1, 2007, the Group did not elect the fair value option due to the operational effort to change the accounting for existing items reflected in its consolidated financial statements. The fair value option was elected for transactions entered into after January 1, 2007.

1    Primarily recognized in net interest income.      2    Primarily recognized in trading revenues.

The above table includes Net interest income which would have been recognized in the period even if the fair value option had not been elected. Interest income and interest expense are recorded in different line items in the consolidated statement of income depending on the nature of the instrument and the related market convention. When interest is included as a component of the change in the instrument’s fair value, interest is included in Trading revenues. Otherwise, it is included within Interest and dividend income or Interest expense. In addition to the financial instruments in the above table, Trading assets and Trading liabilities and certain Other assets and Other liabilities are measured at fair value as required by other accounting pronouncements. Changes in the fair values of these instruments are recorded in Trading revenues. Additionally, th e above impacts to the consolidated statement of income represent results by product and, therefore, do not necessarily reflect the results of business activities.

The impacts of credit risk on debt securities held as assets presented in the table above have been calculated as the component of the total change in fair value excluding the impact of changes in base or risk-free interest rates. The impacts of changes in own credit risk on liabilities presented in the table above have been calculated as the difference between the fair value of those instruments as of the reporting date and the theoretical fair values of those instruments calculated by using the yield curve prevailing at the end of the reporting period, adjusted up or down for changes in our own credit spreads from the transition date to the reporting date.

Note 23 Litigation

In accordance with SFAS 5, the Group has litigation reserves for private litigation involving Enron, certain IPO allocation practices, research analyst independence and other related litigation of CHF 1.2 billion (USD 1.0 billion) as of March 31, 2007, after deductions for settlements.

The Group is also involved in a number of other judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. These actions have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and, unless otherwise specified, seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts. The Group believes, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, are not likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but might be material to operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

It is inherently difficult to predict the outcome of many of these matters. In presenting the consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates regarding the outcome of these matters and records a reserve and takes a charge to income when losses with respect to such matters are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and currently available information and involve a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and nature of the litigation, claim or proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of legal counsel, the Group’s defenses and its experience in similar cases or proceedings, as well as its assessment of matters, including settlements, involving other defendants in similar or related cases or proceedings.

Further charges or releases of litigation reserves may be necessary in the future as developments in such litigation, claims or proceedings warrant.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to the Board of Directors of

Credit Suisse Group, Zurich

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Credit Suisse Group and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income and cash flow for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Group as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 23, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information

This Report contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. In addition, in the future we, and others on our behalf, may make statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to the following:

– Our plans, objectives or goals;

– Our future economic performance or prospects;

– The potential effect on our future performance of certain contingencies; and

– Assumptions underlying any such statements.

Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends” and “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements except as may be required by applicable securities laws.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that predictions, forecasts, projections and other outcomes described or implied in forward-looking statements will not be achieved. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include:

– The ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and access capital markets;

– Market and interest rate fluctuations;

– The strength of the global economy in general and the strength of the economies of the countries in which we conduct our operations in particular;

– The ability of counterparties to meet their obligations to us;

– The effects of, and changes in, fiscal, monetary, trade and tax policies, and currency fluctuations;

– Political and social developments, including war, civil unrest or terrorist activity;

– The possibility of foreign exchange controls, expropriation, nationalization or confiscation of assets in countries in which we conduct our operations;

– Operational factors such as systems failure, human error, or the failure to implement procedures properly;

– Actions taken by regulators with respect to our business and practices in one or more of the countries in which we conduct our operations;

– The effects of changes in laws, regulations or accounting policies or practices;

– Competition in geographic and business areas in which we conduct our operations;

– The ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel;

– The ability to maintain our reputation and promote our brand;

– The ability to increase market share and control expenses;

– Technological changes;

– The timely development and acceptance of our new products and services and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users;

– Acquisitions, including the ability to integrate acquired businesses successfully, and divestitures, including the ability to sell non-core assets;

– The adverse resolution of litigation and other contingencies; and

– Our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. When evaluating forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events, as well as the information set forth in our Form 20-F Item 3 – Key Information – Risk factors.
