Report of Independent Accountants

To the Benefits Administration Committee of U.S. Bancorp and the Participants of the U.S. Bancorp 401(k) Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of U.S. Bancorp 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 2002, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2002, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2002 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

U.S. Bancorp 401(k) Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements


1.   Description of the Plan
 
    The following description of the U.S. Bancorp 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”), provides only general information. Participants should refer to the U.S. Bancorp 401(k) Savings Plan Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. This handbook can be obtained from the U.S. Bank Employee Service Center.
 
    On February 27, 2001, Firstar Corporation (“Firstar”) completed its merger with U.S. Bancorp (the “Company”) through a tax-free exchange of shares. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Firstar shareholders received one share, and Company shareholders received 1.265 shares, of common stock of the combined company for each share of Firstar or Company common stock, respectively.
 
    The Plan is a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all personnel of the Company who have completed one year of service in which they have worked 1,000 hours. Each participant may elect to contribute up to a maximum of 50 percent of his or her annual compensation each year (16% prior to January 1, 2002) up to IRS limits. These contributions are deposited in the Plan semi-monthly. The Company contributes an amount equal to 100 percent of each participant’s contribution up to 4 percent of his or her annual eligible compensation. Beginning in 2002, matching contributions are deposited in the plan annually and invested in the U.S. Bancorp Stock Fund. The Company may make an additional discretionary contribution to the Plan. There were no discretionary contributions in 2002 and 2001. Participants are immediately vested in all contributions.
 
    Each participant may elect to have his or her balances invested in various investment funds. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the related matching contribution and an allocation of the earnings of the funds in which the participant has elected to invest. Earnings allocations are based upon participant account balances, as defined.
 
    The Plan contains provisions allowing participants to borrow from their plan account. Participants may have only two loans outstanding at a time. The minimum loan is $1,000 and the maximum is the lesser of 50 percent of the participant’s account balance, or $50,000 minus the participant’s highest outstanding loan balance during the past 12 months.
 
    U.S. Bancorp has the right, under the Plan, to suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of a termination of the Plan, all participant account balances are eligible for distribution.
 
    The Plan includes an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) fund. Prior to 2002, dividends paid on U.S. Bancorp common stock held in the ESOP were distributed to participants. Beginning with the dividends payable in January 2002, dividends would be reinvested in the fund unless the participant made an election to have dividends distributed to them.
 
    Mergers
 
    Effective January 1, 2002, the Firstar Thrift Savings 401(k) Plan, with total assets of $685,810,156, merged with the Plan. For Form 5500 reporting purposes, such merger has been reflected as if it occurred on December 31, 2001. Certain assets in the Firstar Thrift Savings 401(k) Plan were nonparticipant-directed. Upon merging into the Plan, these assets remained nonparticipant-directed until March 1, 2002.
 
    Effective October 25, 2002, the Bank of Commerce 401(k) Salary Deferral Plan, with total assets of $2,470,290, merged with the Plan.

U.S. Bancorp 401(k) Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements


    Effective November 1, 2002, the Bank of Commerce Employee Stock Ownership Plan, with total assets of $5,949,105, merged with the Plan.
 
    Effective November 15, 2002, the Western Bancorp 401(k) Plan, with total assets of $8,653,634, merged with the Plan.
 
    Effective December 16, 2002, the Wadsworth Group 401(k) Plan, with total assets of $637,856, merged with the Plan.
 
    Effective January 1, 2003, the Mercantile Bancorporation Inc. Horizon Investment and Savings Plan and Trust, with total assets of $261,016,255, merged with the Plan. For Form 5500 reporting purposes, such merger has been reflected as if it occurred on December 31, 2002.
 
2.   Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Accounting Method
 
    The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
    Investments
 
    Investments are stated at aggregate fair value. Securities which are traded on a national securities exchange or which are actively traded in local over-the-counter markets are valued at the last reported sales price of the year; securities traded in the national over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported bid price of the year. The fair value of participation interests in mutual funds is based on the quoted redemption value on the last business day of the year. Participant notes receivable are valued at their principal balance which approximates fair value.
 
    Brokers’ commissions and other expenses incurred upon the purchase of securities are included in the cost of the securities. Brokers’ commissions and other expenses incurred upon the sale of securities are reflected as a reduction in the proceeds from the sale.
 
    The change from the beginning to the end of the year in the difference between current value and the cost of investments is reflected in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits in net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of securities.
 
    The net gain (loss) on sale of securities is the difference between the proceeds received and the average cost of investments sold. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. If a trade is open at the end of the year, a settlement receivable or payable is reflected in the statements of net assets available for benefits. The net gain (loss) on sales of securities is reflected in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements


    Risks and Uncertainties
    The Plan’s investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the values of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.
 
3.   Investments
 
    During 2002 and 2001, the Plan’s investments (depreciated) appreciated in fair value as shown below:

6.   Income Tax Status
 
    The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated October 22, 2001, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this issuance of the determination letter, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
