North Fork Bancorporation, Inc.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

June 30, 2006 and 2005

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, where the context requires, “the Company”, “North Fork”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to North Fork Bancorporation, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Note 1 — Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

North Fork Bancorporation, Inc. is a regional bank holding company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and registered as a “bank holding company” under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. We are not a “financial holding company” as defined under the federal law. We are committed to providing superior customer service, while offering a full range of banking products and financial services, to both our consumer and commercial customers. Our primary subsidiary, North Fork Bank, operates from more than 350 retail bank branches in the New York Metropolitan area. We also operate a nationwide mortgage business, GreenPoint Mortgage Funding Inc. (“GreenPoint Mortgage” or “GPM”). Through our other non-bank subsidiaries, we offer financial products and services to our customers including asset management, securities brokerage, and the sale of alternative investment products. We also operate a second subsidiary bank, Superior Savings of New England, N.A. (“Superior”), which focuses on telephonic and media-based generation of deposits.

Proposed Plan of Merger with Capital One Financial Corporation

On March 12, 2006, North Fork announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Capital One Financial Corporation (“Capital One”) pursuant to which North Fork would merge with and into Capital One, with Capital One continuing as the surviving corporation. Capital One, headquartered in McLean, Virginia, is a financial holding company whose banking and non-banking subsidiaries market a variety of financial products and services. Capital One’s primary products and services offered through its subsidiaries include credit card products, deposit products, consumer and commercial lending, automobile and other motor vehicle financing, and a variety of other financial products and services for consumers, small businesses and commercial clients.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, each holder of North Fork common stock will have the right, subject to proration, to elect to receive, for each share of North Fork common stock, cash or Capital One common stock, in either case having a value equal to $11.25 plus the product of in connection with the proposed merger, 0.2216 times the average closing sales price of Capital One’s common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the merger date. Based on Capital One’s closing NYSE stock price of $89.92 on March 10, 2006, the transaction is valued at $31.18 per North Fork share, for a total transaction value of approximately $14.6 billion.

The merger is subject to certain conditions, including approval by North Fork stockholders and Capital One stockholders, receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2006. In connection with the proposed merger, Capital One filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 that included a joint proxy statement of Capital One and North Fork that also constitutes a prospectus of Capital One. Capital One and North Fork mailed the joint proxy statement/prospectus to their respective shareholders on or about July 14, 2006. Investors and security holders are urged to read the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus (including all filings subsequent to the date of mailing that are incorporated by reference therein as provided in the joint proxy statement/prospectus) regarding the proposed merger.

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates are subject to change in the future as additional information becomes available or previously existing circumstances are modified. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

6


Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis should be read together with the consolidated financial information in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which may be expected for the full year 2006 or any future interim period.

In reviewing and understanding the financial information contained herein, you are encouraged to read the significant accounting policies contained in Note 1 — Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our 2005 Annual Report in Form 10-K/A. There have not been any significant changes in the factors or methodology used in determining accounting estimates or applied in our critical accounting policies since December 2005 that are material in relation to our financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R — “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, Share Based Payment”, (SFAS 123R) which replaced the guidance prescribed in SFAS 123. SFAS 123R requires that compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. The associated costs will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Restricted stock awards previously recorded as deferred compensation, a component of stockholders’ equity were reclassified to additional paid-in-capital upon adoption. Restricted Stock Awards are recorded at fair value at the date of grant and are amortized to compensation expense over the awards vesting period in accordance with SFAS 123R. This accounting practice is consistent with our prior accounting treatment of restricted stock awards. Substantially, all employee stock options are awarded at the end of the year as part of an employees overall compensation, based on the individual’s performance during that year, and either vest immediately or over a nominal period. Therefore, the effect on net income of expensing stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was not material.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified four accounting policies that are critical to our financial statement presentation and require critical accounting estimates, involving significant valuation adjustments, on the part of management. The following is a description of those policies:

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is available to cover probable losses inherent in the loans held-for-investment portfolio. Loans held-for-investment, or portions thereof, deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance for loan losses, while recoveries, if any, of amounts previously charged-off are added to the allowance. Amounts are charged-off after giving consideration to such factors as the customer’s financial condition, underlying collateral values and guarantees, and general economic conditions.

The evaluation process for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the periodic provisioning for estimated losses is undertaken on a quarterly basis, but may increase in frequency should conditions arise that would require our prompt attention. Conditions giving rise to such action are business combinations or other acquisitions or dispositions of large quantities of loans, dispositions of non-performing and marginally performing loans by bulk sale or any development which may indicate an adverse trend. Recognition is also given to the changing risk profile resulting from business combinations, customer performance, results of ongoing credit-quality monitoring processes and the cyclical nature of economic and business conditions.

The loan portfolio is categorized according to collateral type, loan purpose or borrower type (i.e. commercial, consumer). The categories used include Multi-Family Mortgages, Residential 1-4 Family Mortgages, Commercial Mortgages, Commercial and Industrial, Consumer, and Construction and Land, which are more fully described in the section entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis, — “Loans Held-for-Investment.” An important consideration is our concentration of real estate related loans.

 

7


The methodology employed for assessing the adequacy of the allowance consists of the following criteria:

 

    Establishment of reserve amounts for specifically identified criticized loans, including those arising from business combinations and those designated as requiring special attention by our internal loan review program, or bank regulatory examinations (specific-allowance method).

 

    An allocation to the remaining loans giving effect to historical losses experienced in each loan category, cyclical trends and current economic conditions which may impact future losses (loss experience factor method).

The initial allocation or specific-allowance methodology commences with loan officers and underwriters grading the quality of their loans on a risk classification scale ranging from 1-10. Loans identified as below investment grade are referred to our independent Loan Review Department (“LRD”) for further analysis and identification of those factors that may ultimately affect the full recovery or collectibility of principal and/or interest. These loans are subject to continuous review and monitoring while they remain in a criticized category. Additionally, LRD is responsible for performing periodic reviews of the loan portfolio independent from the identification process employed by loan officers and underwriters. Loans that fall into criticized categories are further evaluated for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.” The portion of the allowance allocated to impaired loans is based on the most appropriate of the following measures: discounted cash flows from the loan using the loan’s effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, or the observable market price of the impaired loan.

The remaining allocation applies a category specific loss experience factor to loans which have not been specifically reviewed for impairment, including smaller balance homogeneous loans that we have identified as residential and consumer, which are not specifically reserved for impairment. These category specific factors give recognition to our historical loss experience, as well as that of acquired businesses, cyclical trends, current economic conditions and our exposure to real estate values. These factors are reviewed on a quarterly basis with senior lenders to ensure that the factors applied to each loan category are reflective of trends or changes in the current business environment which may affect these categories.

Upon completion of both allocation processes, the specific and loss experience factor method allocations are combined, producing the allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan category. Other factors used to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses include the amount and trend of criticized loans, results of regulatory examinations, peer group comparisons and economic data associated with the relevant markets, specifically the local real estate market. Because many loans depend upon the sufficiency of collateral, any adverse trend in the relevant real estate markets could have a significant adverse effect on the quality of our loan portfolio. This may lead management to consider that the overall allowance level should be greater than the amount determined by the allocation process described above.

Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument is determined by whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and on the type of hedging relationship. Transactions hedging changes in the fair value of a recognized asset, liability, or firm commitment are classified as fair value hedges. Derivative instruments hedging exposure to variable cash flows of recognized assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions are classified as cash flow hedges.

Fair value hedges result in the immediate recognition through earnings of gains or losses on the derivative instrument, as well as corresponding losses or gains on the hedged financial instrument to the extent they are attributable to the hedged risk. The gain or loss on the effective portion of a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income, and reclassified to earnings in the same period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The gain or loss on the ineffective portion of the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized in earnings for both fair value and cash flow hedges. Derivative instruments not qualifying for hedge accounting treatment are recorded at fair value and classified as trading assets or liabilities with the resultant changes in fair value recognized in earnings during the period of change.

In the event of early termination of a derivative contract, previously designated as part of a cash flow hedging relationship, any resulting gain or loss is deferred as an adjustment to the carrying value of the assets or liabilities, against which the hedge had been designated with a corresponding offset to other comprehensive income, and reclassified to earnings over the shorter of the remaining

 

8


life of the designated assets or liabilities, or the derivative contract. However, if the hedged item is no longer on balance sheet (i.e. sold or canceled), the derivative gain or loss is immediately reclassified to earnings.

As part of our mortgage banking operations, we enter into commitments to originate or purchase loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (“interest rate lock commitment”). Interest rate lock commitments related to loans that we intend to sell in the secondary market are considered free-standing derivatives. These derivatives are required to be recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments”, interest rate lock commitments are initially valued at zero. Changes in fair value subsequent to inception are based on changes in the fair value of loans with similar characteristics and changes in the probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and passage of time. In general, the probability that a loan will fund increases if mortgage rates rise and decreases if mortgage rates fall. The initial value inherent in the loan commitment at origination is recognized through gain on sale of loans when the underlying loan is sold.

We are exposed to interest rate risk from the time an interest rate lock commitment is made to a borrower to the time the resulting mortgage loan is sold in the secondary market. To manage this risk, we use derivatives, primarily forward sales contracts on mortgage backed securities and forward delivery commitments, in an amount equal to the portion of interest rate contracts expected to close. The duration of these derivatives are selected to have the changes in their fair value correlate closely with the changes in fair value of the interest rate lock commitments on loans to be sold. These derivatives are also required to be recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings.

Representation and Warranty Reserve

The representation and warranty reserve is available to cover probable losses inherent with the sale of loans in the secondary market. In the normal course of business, certain representations and warranties are made to investors at the time of sale, which permit the investor to return the loan to the seller or require the seller to indemnify the investor (make whole) for any losses incurred by the investor while the loan remains outstanding.

The evaluation process for determining the adequacy of the representation and warranty reserve and the periodic provisioning for estimated losses is performed for each product type on a quarterly basis. Factors considered in the evaluation process include historical sales volumes, aggregate repurchase and indemnification activity and actual losses incurred. Additions to the reserve are recorded as a reduction to the gain on sale of loans. Losses incurred on loans where we are required to either repurchase the loan or make payments to the investor under the indemnification provisions are charged against the reserve. The representation and warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The right to service mortgage loans for others, or Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”), is recognized when mortgage loans are sold in the secondary market and the right to service those loans for a fee is retained. The MSRs initial carrying value is determined by allocating the recorded investment in the underlying mortgage loans between the assets sold and the interest retained based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer. Fair value of the MSRs is determined using the present value of the estimated future cash flows of net servicing income. MSRs are carried at the lower of the initial carrying value, adjusted for amortization, or fair value. MSRs are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. The amortization of MSRs is periodically analyzed and adjusted to reflect changes in prepayment speeds.

To determine fair value, a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income is utilized. We use assumptions in the valuation model that market participants use when estimating future net servicing income, including prepayment speeds, discount rates, default rates, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary income and late fees.

MSRs are periodically evaluated for impairment based on the difference between the carrying amount and current fair value. To evaluate and measure impairment, the underlying loans are stratified based on certain risk characteristics, including loan type, note rate and investor servicing requirements. If it is determined that temporary impairment exists, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to earnings for any excess of amortized cost over the current fair value, by risk stratification. If determined in future

periods that all or a portion of the temporary impairment no longer exists for a particular risk stratification, the valuation allowance is reduced by increasing earnings. However, if impairment for a particular risk stratification is deemed other-than-temporary (recovery of a recorded valuation allowance is remote), a direct write-down, permanently reducing the carrying value of the MSRs is recorded. The periodic evaluation of MSRs for other-than-temporary impairment considers both historical and projected trends in interest rates, payoff activity and whether impairment could be recovered through increases in market interest rates.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets include loans ninety days past due and still accruing, non-accrual loans and other real estate. Other real estate consists of properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Other real estate is carried at the lower of the recorded amount of the loan or the fair value of the property based on the current appraised value adjusted for estimated disposition costs.

Future levels of non-performing assets will be influenced by prevailing economic conditions and the impact of those conditions on our customers, prevailing interest rates, unemployment rates, property values, and other internal and external factors, including potential sales of such assets.

$350 million of 5.875% Subordinated Notes and $150 million of 5% Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Subordinated Notes which mature in 2012, were issued in August 2002 and qualify as Tier II capital for regulatory purposes. The 5.875% Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed rate through maturity, pay interest semi-annually and are not redeemable prior to maturity. The Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and convert to a floating rate thereafter until maturity based on three-month LIBOR plus 1.87%. Beginning in the sixth year, we have the right to redeem the Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Notes at par plus accrued interest.

At June 30, 2006, $350 million in pay floating swaps, designated as fair value hedges on the 5.875% Subordinated Notes, were used to convert a corresponding amount of the Notes from their stated fixed rates to variable rates indexed to three-month LIBOR. At December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, $150 million in pay floating swaps, designated as fair value hedges on the 5.0% Fixed/Floating Rate Subordinated Notes were used to convert their stated fixed rates to variable rates indexed to three-month LIBOR. As of April 1, 2006 it was determined that there swaps did not meet the stated requirements of the short cut method of accounting as prescribed in SFAS No. 133 and accordingly they were reclassified as trading instruments and are more fully described in Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments. The fair value hedge adjustments in the table above includes the effect of the on the $150 million 5.0% Fixed/Floating Subordinated Noted resulting from the fair value hedges that existed at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively.

$150 million of 9.25% Subordinated Bank Notes mature in 2010, pay interest semi-annually and have a carrying value of $175.6 million at June 30, 2006. These Notes were assumed through a prior acquisition and include a remaining fair value discount totaling $25.6 million, $28.6 million and $31.6 million at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively, which reduces the effective cost of funds to 4.61%. As of June 30, 2006, $120 million qualified as Tier II capital for regulatory purposes.

Capital Securities (or “Trust Preferred Securities”), which qualify as Tier I Capital for regulatory purposes, were issued through Wholly-Owned Statutory Business Trusts (the “Trusts”). The Trusts were initially capitalized by the Company and the proceeds of both the common stock and Capital Securities were used to acquire Junior Subordinated Debt issued by the Company. The Capital Securities are obligations of the Trusts. The Junior Subordinated Debt and Capital Securities bear the same interest rates, are due concurrently and are non-callable at any time in whole or in part for ten years from the date of issuance, except in certain limited circumstances. They may be redeemed annually thereafter, in whole or in part, at declining premiums to maturity. The costs associated with these issuances have been capitalized and are being amortized to maturity using the straight-line method.

The 9.10% Junior Subordinated Debt due June 2027 was assumed through a prior acquisition and includes a remaining fair value discount of $22.4 million, $29.7 million and $30.4 million at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively, which reduced the effective cost of funds to 7.63%.

Pay floating swaps with a $245 million notional value were previously designated as fair value hedges of the 8.70%, 8.00% and 8.17% Junior Subordinated Debt issuances. These swaps were used to convert a corresponding amount of debt from their stated fixed rates to variable rates indexed to three-month LIBOR. As a result of a detailed review of our accounting treatment for all derivative transactions these swaps were reclassified as trading instruments, effective March 31, 2006 and are more fully described in Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments.

At June 30, 2006, the sensitivities to immediate 10% and 20% increases in the weighted average prepayment rates would decrease the fair value of mortgage servicing rights by $12.3 million and $23.3 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2006, the aggregate principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others, excluding interim servicing was $28.0 billion.

NOTE 8 — REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTY RESERVE

The representation and warranty reserve is available to cover probable losses inherent with the sale of loans in the secondary market. In the normal course of business, certain representations and warranties are made to investors at the time of sale, which permit the investor to return the loan to us or require us to indemnify the investor (make whole) for any losses incurred by the investor while the loan remains outstanding. The representation and warranty reserve is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

A summary of the changes in the representation and warranty reserve is shown below for the periods indicated:

NOTE 9 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The use of derivative financial instruments creates exposure to credit risk. This credit exposure relates to losses that would be recognized if the counterparties fail to perform their obligations under the contracts. To mitigate this exposure to non-performance, we deal only with counterparties of good credit standing and establish counterparty credit limits. In connection with our interest rate risk management process, we periodically enter into interest rate derivative contracts. These derivative interest rate contracts may include interest rate swaps, caps, and floors and are used to modify the repricing characteristics of specific assets and liabilities.

The following table details the interest rate swaps and their associated hedged liabilities outstanding as of June 30, 2006:

At June 30, 2006, $75 million in pay fixed swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, were outstanding. These agreements change the repricing characteristics of certain repurchase agreements, requiring us to make periodic fixed rate payments and receive periodic variable rate payments indexed to three-month LIBOR, based on a common notional amount and identical payment and maturity dates. At June 30, 2006, these swaps had an unrealized loss of $0.7 million, which is recorded as a component of other liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet (the net of tax balance of $0.4 million is reflected in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss). The use of pay fixed swaps increased interest expense by $0.2 million and $0.7 million in the second quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, these swaps increased interest expense by $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Based upon the current interest rate environment, approximately $0.2 million of the unrealized loss is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss in the next twelve months.

At June 30, 2006, $350 million of pay floating swaps, designated as fair value hedges, were used to convert the stated fixed rate on the 5.875% subordinated notes to variable rates indexed to three-month LIBOR. The swap term and payment dates match the related terms of the subordinated notes. At June 30, 2006, the fair value adjustment on these swaps resulted in a loss of $38.7 million and is reflected as a component of other liabilities. The carrying amount of the $350 million in subordinated notes was decreased by an identical amount. These swaps increased interest expense by approximately $1.3 million $2.1 million and reduced interest expense by $0.4 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. There was no hedge ineffectiveness recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income on these transactions for all periods reported.

As part of our mortgage banking operations, we enter into commitments to originate or purchase loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (“interest rate lock commitment”). Interest rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that we intend to sell in the secondary market are considered free-standing derivatives. These derivatives are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of gain on sale of loans. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments”, interest rate lock commitments are initially valued at zero. Changes in fair value subsequent to inception are determined based upon current secondary market prices for underlying loans with similar coupons, maturity and credit quality, subject to the anticipated probability that the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment. The initial value inherent in the loan commitments at origination is recognized through gain on sale of loans when the underlying loan is sold. Both the interest rate lock commitments and the related hedging instruments are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value being recorded in current earnings in gain on sale of loans.

Generally, if interest rates increase, the value of our interest rate lock commitments and funded loans decrease and loan sale margins are adversely impacted. We hedge the risk of overall changes in fair value of loans held-for-sale and interest rate lock commitments generally by entering into mandatory commitments to deliver mortgage whole loans to various investors, selling forward contracts on mortgage backed securities of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and, to a lesser extent, by using futures and options to economically hedge the fair value of interest rate lock commitments. Under SFAS 133, certain of these positions qualify as fair value hedges of a portion of the funded loan portfolio held-for-sale and result in adjustments to the carrying value of designated loans through gain on sale based on fair value changes attributable to the hedged risk. The forward contracts, futures and options used to economically hedge the loan commitments are accounted for as non-designated hedges and naturally offset loan commitment mark-to-market gains and losses recognized as a component of gain on sale.

The notional amount of all forward contracts was $2.2 billion at June 30, 2006. The forward contracts designated as fair value hedges associated with mortgage loans held-for-sale had a notional value of $1.7 billion at June 30, 2006. The notional amount of forward contracts used to manage the risk associated with interest rate lock commitments on mortgage loans was $554 million at June 30, 2006.

During 2006, we performed a detailed review of our accounting treatment for all derivative transactions and determined that certain transactions did not meet the requirements of the “short-cut” method of accounting under SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. As a result, hedge accounting was not appropriate for the transactions contained in the above table since inception. Accordingly, they have been reclassified as trading instruments on the accompanying balance sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, $23.2 million and $21.1 million was recorded as trading losses on the accompanying statement of income, respectively. We believe that the interest rate swaps have and will continue to be effective economic hedges. There was no impact nor will there be any future impact on our cash flows resulting from this change.

NOTE 10 — OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Credit Related Commitments

We offer traditional off-balance sheet financial products to meet the financing needs of our customers through both our retail banking and mortgage banking segments. They include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and letters of credit. Funded commitments are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as loans.

Retail Banking

Our retail banking segment provides the following types of off-balance sheet financial products to customers:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers in accordance with contractual provisions. These commitments usually have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Total commitments outstanding do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements, since many commitments expire without being funded.

Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated prior to issuing these commitments and may require the customer to pledge certain collateral prior to the extension of credit. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing properties. Fixed rate commitments are subject to interest rate risk based on changes in prevailing rates during the commitment period. We are subject to credit risk in the event that the commitments are drawn upon and the customer is unable to repay the obligation.

 

18


Letters of credit are irrevocable commitments issued at the request of customers. They authorize the beneficiary to draw drafts for payment in accordance with the stated terms and conditions. Letters of credit substitute a bank’s creditworthiness for that of the customer and are issued for a fee commensurate with the risk.

We typically issue two types of letters of credit: Commercial (documentary) Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit. Commercial Letters of Credit are commonly issued to finance the purchase of goods and are typically short term in nature. Standby letters of credit are issued to back financial or performance obligations of a bank customer, and are typically issued for periods up to one year. Due to their long-term nature, standby letters of credit require adequate collateral in the form of cash or other liquid assets. In most instances, standby letters of credit expire without being drawn upon. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as extending credit facilities to comparable customers.

The following table presents total commitments and letters of credit outstanding for our retailing banking segment at June 30, 2006:

(1) At June 30, 2006, commitments to extend credit on loans held-for-investment with maturities of less than one year totaled $2.4 billion, while $2.4 billion mature between one and three years.
(2) Standby letters of credit are considered guarantees and are reflected in other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at their estimated fair value of $1.8 million as of June 30, 2006. The fair value of these instruments is recognized as income over the initial term of the guarantee.

Mortgage Banking

At June 30, 2006, the pipeline of residential mortgage loans (including Home Equity Lines of Credit) was $6.2 billion and included $1.5 billion of fixed rate loans and $4.7 billion of adjustable rate loans. The pipeline represents total applications approved but not yet funded.

We are also contractually committed to fund the undrawn portion of Home Equity Lines of Credit (“HELOCs”), which were previously originated. This commitment extends to both HELOCs held-for-sale and those previously sold with servicing retained.

We do not anticipate making a contribution to either our pension plan or post-retirement benefit plan in 2006.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

We maintain three Bank Owned Life Insurance Trusts (commonly referred to as BOLI) on the consolidated balance sheet. The BOLI trusts were formed to offset future employee benefit costs and to provide additional benefits due to their tax exempt nature. Only officer level employees, who have consented, have been insured under the program.

The underlying structure of the initial BOLI trust formed, requires that the assets supporting the insurance policies be reported on the consolidated balance sheet, principally as a component of the available-for-sale securities portfolio and the related income to be characterized as either interest income or gain/(loss) on sale of securities. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, $232.7 million and $225.0 million, respectively were held by the trust and are principally included in the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Based on the underlying structures of the other two BOLI trusts, the cash surrender values (“CSV”) of the life insurance policies held by the trusts are required to be classified as other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and the related income/(loss) be characterized as other income. The cash surrender value of the policies held by these trusts were $214.2 million and $205.7 million at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 12 — BUSINESS SEGMENTS

NOTE 13 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which attempts to set out a consistent framework for preparers to use to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for “uncertain tax positions.” This interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 uses a two-step approach wherein a tax benefit is recognized if a position is more likely than not to be sustained. The amount of the benefit is then measured to be the highest tax benefit which is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 also sets out disclosure requirements to enhance transparency of an entity’s tax reserves. We are required to adopt this Interpretation as of January 1, 2007. We are still evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48.

Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156 (“SFAS No. 156”), Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the financial statement impact of implementing this pronouncement.

NOTE 14 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We have agreed in principle to settle the previously disclosed purported North Fork stockholder class action challenging the proposed merger between Capital One Financial Corporation and North Fork. In the settlement, we will agree to establish a settlement fund in an aggregate amount of $20 million, out of which the plaintiffs’ attorneys fees will be paid, with the remaining balance of the settlement fund to be allocated among North Fork stockholders who are members of the class as of the completion of the merger (other than those stockholders who perfect appraisal rights or opt out of the settlement). We believe that this settlement will result in an expense of approximately $10 million in the third quarter of 2006. In the settlement, Capital One will agree to waive any right to realize total profit in excess of $630 million under the North Fork stock option agreement granted to Capital One in connection with the merger.

Under the terms of the settlement, all claims relating to the merger agreement and the proposed merger will be dismissed and released on behalf of the settlement class. The settlement is subject to approval by the court in which the action is pending. Upon approval of the proposed settlement by the court, plaintiffs’ attorneys are expected to apply for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, which will be paid from the settlement fund.
