Explanatory Note
     As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Report”) filed on July 8, 2008 by Countrywide Financial Corporation (“Countrywide” or the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“Bank of America”), on July 1, 2008, Countrywide Financial Corporation, as the predecessor company (the “Predecessor Company”) completed its merger (the “Merger”) with the Company pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 11, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Bank of America, the Company and the Predecessor Company. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company was renamed “Countrywide Financial Corporation”.
     As reported in Item 2.01 of the Initial Report, the Company sold or otherwise disposed of assets to other wholly-owned subsidiaries of Bank of America subsequent to the completion of the Merger. This Form 8-K/A is being filed with the SEC to provide the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information related to such transactions in accordance with the requirements of Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K.
Forward-Looking Statements Disclaimer
     Statements and other information included in this Form 8-K/A, which are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s plans, strategies, beliefs and expectations, as well as certain estimates and assumptions used by the Company’s management, may consist of forward-looking statements.

Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
     On July 1, 2008, Countrywide Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Countrywide”), completed its merger (the “Merger”) with Red Oak Merger Corporation (“Red Oak” or the “Registrant”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Bank of America”), pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 11, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Bank of America, Red Oak and Countrywide. Upon consummation of the Merger, Red Oak was renamed “Countrywide Financial Corporation”.
     The Merger was announced on January 11, 2008 and provided for each outstanding share of Countrywide common stock to be converted into the right to receive 0.1822 of a share of Bank of America common stock. As discussed in Note 3—Pro Forma Adjustments from Transactions, the Registrant sold or otherwise disposed of assets to other wholly-owned subsidiaries of Bank of America subsequent to the completion of the Merger (the “Transactions”).
     The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information and explanatory notes present the impact of the Merger and the Transactions on Countrywide’s historical financial position and results of operations under the purchase method of accounting with the Registrant treated as the acquirer. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Countrywide. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Countrywide have been recorded by the Registrant at their estimated fair values as of the date of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 assumes the Merger and Transactions were completed on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations give effect to the Merger and Transactions as if the Merger and Transactions had been completed on January 1, 2007.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of Countrywide Financial Corporation had the Merger and Transactions occurred at the beginning of each period presented, nor the impact of possible business model changes. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information also does not consider the impact of current market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions and share repurchases, among other factors. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information, the preliminary allocation of the purchase price reflected in the pro forma condensed financial information is subject to adjustment.

The pro forma adjustments included herein reflect the conversion of Countrywide common stock into Bank of America common stock using an exchange ratio of 0.1822 of a share of Bank of America common stock for each of the 583 million shares of Countrywide common stock outstanding at June 30, 2008. The estimated purchase price of $4.2 billion, which includes the value of equity-based awards and certain deal costs, is based on a per share price for Bank of America common stock of $38.73, which was the average of the closing prices of Bank of America common stock for the period commencing two trading days before and ending two trading days after January 11, 2008, the date of the Merger Agreement. The $2.0 billion Series B convertible preferred shares of Countrywide that were previously held by Bank of America were cancelled.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information includes preliminary estimated adjustments to record the assets and liabilities of Countrywide at their respective fair values and represents management’s estimates based on available information. The pro forma preliminary adjustments included herein may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after completion of a final analysis determining the fair values of Countrywide’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of July 1, 2008. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments and exit and termination costs may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented in this document. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the net assets and other items of Countrywide as compared to the information shown in this document may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill, other assets and liabilities and may impact the statement of operations due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of Countrywide had the Merger and Transactions occurred at the beginning of each period presented and had the impact of possible business model changes as a result of current market conditions which may impact revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions and share repurchases, among other factors, been considered.

          The preliminary purchase accounting allocation included in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is as follows:
     
     A
  Adjustment to record impaired loans at fair value and non-impaired loans at present value of amounts to be received at current interest rates. For non-impaired loans, Countrywide’s existing allowance for loan losses was retained. The adjustments were approximately $8.2 billion and $1.6 billion for the impaired and non-impaired portfolios, respectively. Additionally, approximately $470 million of net deferred costs and basis adjustments were written off. The effect of these adjustments is to increase interest income by approximately $115 million and $235 million and decrease provision for loan losses for the impaired portfolio by approximately $1.9 billion and $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, respectively. The adjustments reflected herein are based on current assumptions and valuations which are subject to change.
 
   
     B
  Adjustment to fair value investments in other securities. Prior to the acquisition of Countrywide by Red Oak, Countrywide had recorded a decrease in the fair value of its available for sale securities of approximately $1.8 billion with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax. As a result of purchase accounting, this amount is recorded as a discount on the securities and amortized over the remaining life. The effect of these adjustments is to increase interest income by approximately $175 million and $350 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
   
     C
  Adjustment to fair value mortgage servicing rights consistent with Bank of America assumptions, such as Bank of America’s view of credit and prepayment speeds. The adjustments to the pro forma condensed statements of operations cannot be reasonably estimated due to the nature of the asset and ongoing recognition of change in fair value through earnings. The adjustments to the pro forma condensed balance sheet reflected herein are based on current assumptions and valuations which are subject to change.
 
   
     D
  Adjustment to record the fair value of owned real estate, leased property and related improvements, signage and equipment. The effect of these adjustments is to reduce occupancy and other office costs by approximately $10 million and $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, respectively.

     E
  Adjustment to write off historical Countrywide goodwill of approximately $45 million, intangible assets of approximately $50 million and debt issue and other deferred costs of approximately $185 million and to record customer and trade name intangible assets (other than goodwill) of approximately $150 million resulting from the Merger and adjustment of other miscellaneous assets of approximately $500 million. The impact of the adjustment for debt issue costs is to decrease interest expense by approximately $15 million and $30 million, the impact of other deferred costs is to increase other income by approximately $20 million and $55 million and the impact of customer and trade name intangible assets is to increase other general operating expenses by approximately $35 million and $70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, respectively. The adjustments reflected herein are based on current assumptions and valuations which are subject to change.
 
   
     F
  Adjustment to record goodwill created as a result of the Merger.
 
   
     G
  Adjustment to record the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments.
 
   
     H
  Adjustment to fair value fixed-rate deposit liabilities based on current interest rates for similar instruments. The impact of the adjustment was to decrease interest expense by approximately $25 million and $50 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
   
     I
  Adjustment to fair value notes payable and other liabilities, including outstanding notes payable for credit and current interest rates, other accrued expenses including adjustments to the representation and warranty reserves, recognition of exit and termination costs, including costs for severance of personnel and closure of vacant facilities, and other miscellaneous liabilities. The impact of the adjustment was to decrease interest expense by approximately $40 million and increase interest expense by approximately $90 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
   
     J
  Includes the elimination of the earnings per share impact of the dividends paid and beneficial conversion feature of Bank of America’s $2.0 billion Series B convertible preferred stock investment in Countrywide of approximately $73 million and $477 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, respectively.
 
   
     K
  Adjustment to eliminate Countrywide’s historical shareholders’ equity and reflect Bank of America’s capitalization of Countrywide.
