Letter to Our Shareholders

“Wachovia’s sound strategy serves    us well in uncertain times”
Ken Thompson Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Wachovia Shareholders,
Clearly, 2007 was a tough year for Wachovia and the entire financial industry as turmoil in the
capital markets and a dramatic change in the credit environment weighed heavily on results.

The effect on stock prices was severe: Wachovia suffered a stock price decline of 33 percent over the course of the year, while the banking benchmark KBW Bank Index was down 25 percent. This was the third worst absolute performance for banking stocks since 1939, according to one researcher. Out of the 20 largest U.S. banks, Wachovia ranked 10th in terms of stock price performance. That may be considered average to some, but to me and the rest of your senior management team, it is unacceptable.

At the same time, it’s important to note that Wachovia earned $6.3 billion in net income in 2007 in spite of $3.1 billion in market disruption-related valuation losses and the prudent building of credit reserves by $1.2 billion in recognition of the housing market malaise. Most of our businesses were not adversely affected by the market disruption and generated solid performance in 2007. In addition, we paid dividends to shareholders of $4.6 billion, and in 2007 and in early 2008, we also added $8.3 billion in capital through preferred stock and trust preferred offerings. These securities further strengthened our regulatory capital position and provide greater certainty that we are well positioned in 2008.

We are very proud that throughout the challenges of 2007, Wachovia was consistently a source of liquidity to the banking industry through loans to our peers and smaller banks and in our ability to continuously provide our customers with access to capital and funding in spite of turmoil in global markets.

Looking forward, we believe the steps we took in the last half of 2007 to prudently build credit reserves prepare us well to manage through this considerably more uncertain credit cycle.

As we enter 2008, we’ve built a plan that gives us confidence we will continue to generate sufficient earnings to fund growth in our businesses and cover dividend payments along with supporting balance sheet growth, building credit reserves as necessary and increasing our capital ratios.

What happened in 2007?
The overall U.S. economy performed fairly well in 2007 with the notable exceptions of the housing market and the financial services industry. The financial services industry depends upon transparent markets, the quality of credit ratings and systemic market liquidity. In 2007 each one of these market underpinnings was compromised. The extent of the deterioration both in the prices for high quality assets and in market liquidity was unprecedented. We cannot forecast when global markets will return to an environment where risk and return are in equilibrium. This will require that the accumulated excesses in the financial system of the past five years be greatly reduced.

The conditions in the financial markets that gave rise to excessive risk taking and the use of leverage (controlling a large balance of assets with little capital) were brought about by an unprecedented increase in concentrated global wealth in an environment where returns on financial instruments were relatively low and demand for enhanced returns was feverish. In response, the financial industry created new products and business models to supercharge returns through financial engineering. It is now clear that the industry’s risk management systems did not measure up to the new environment.

The financial engineering, which may seem disconnected from U.S. home prices, was in fact among the primary contributors to the risky lending practices that led to home price bubbles in many markets. The most significant result of this practice was

an extraordinary increase in loans made to borrowers with poor credit histories (subprime lending). Home prices were buoyed by the willingness of institutional investors across the world to buy these subprime loans in the form of complex securities created by investment banks. When the risk of these securities was revealed to be much greater than the buyers had anticipated, they stopped buying new securities. Without a place to sell risky loans, a huge number of mortgage lenders went out of business and only borrowers with strong credit histories were able to get loans. This big reduction in the number of home buyers has resulted in very significant declines in home prices in areas that had previously experienced rapid appreciation. The extent and pace of the decline in many markets has dramatically exceeded any previous real estate corrections.

Wachovia and the California-based savings bank we acquired in 2006, Golden West, are primarily portfolio lenders and played an inconsequential role in subprime lending. When we originate a loan for our portfolio we know we will incur the cost of any underwriting or appraisal error we make and as a result have a system with great integrity. Despite the soundness of our system, we will still see a meaningful increase in credit losses as a result of significant declines in home prices in many of our key markets. We have prudent lending practices and we are proud of the value that we continue to provide to our mortgage customers.

Merger integration on track
We expect our recent acquisitions to continue our track record of delivering on our merger objectives. They met our investment hurdles and our strategic objective of focusing on higher margin products in attractive growth markets and businesses that align with our long-term, customer relationship model. Both Golden West and A.G. Edwards are proceeding very positively and we have confirmed our due diligence expectations.

We have completed the integration of our retail delivery model in the former Golden West branches and in the mortgage lending platform, and the entire team is now completely focused on delivering Wachovia’s broad range of products and services in our extended marketplace. Even before integration was completed, the former World Savings branches contributed 100,000 of our 935,000 in net checking account sales in 2007. With this western expansion, we have a strong base from which to grow organically in some of the most affluent and fastest growth geographies in the nation.

4     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

With the benefit of hindsight, it is clear that the timing was poor for this expansion in the mortgage business. Yet we have reconfirmed our opinion of the quality of the Golden West franchise, its underwriting and service model, and the quality of its people. Their experience and leadership are proving invaluable as we navigate the housing industry crisis.

Significant opportunities
for growth in
tough environment

One area where we – and most economists and forecasts – were wrong, however, was in the extent and the rapidity with which the decline would occur in the U.S. housing market. Like prevailing market views, our expectations were for a moderate pricing correction. Housing price declines have accelerated in some of the markets that had experienced the steepest price increases in recent years, including California, Nevada and Florida in our marketplace – and in some zip codes appear to be depreciating 20 percent.

We expect to recognize further credit losses and to earn less than we’d anticipated in our mortgage business over the next year or two. However, when the cycle once again returns to positive territory, we believe the mortgage industry will have been permanently transformed. More than 100 mortgage companies went out of business during 2007. After this industry shakeout, we believe the mortgage industry will be dominated by a handful of the nation’s largest commercial banks. Wachovia will be one of those industry leaders, with stellar products, an effective origination platform and superior risk management practices in place. We will be ready for a market with far fewer irrational participants.

The retail brokerage firm that we acquired on October 1, 2007, A.G. Edwards, represented a rare opportunity to acquire the largest remaining independent broker – defining the end game in the consolidation of the retail brokerage industry. Over time, this company had been pursued by most of the major brokerage houses in the nation, and we are very pleased they chose to join with Wachovia.

Percentage Loyal Customers

In the combination of A.G. Edwards and Wachovia Securities, the cultural compatibility of the two firms has been extraordinary. We have lost some brokers, as typical and as expected, but at the same time our revenue retention has been consistent with what we had projected. The teams have come together smoothly, with leadership both from A.G. Edwards and from Wachovia Securities, to build the platform in our new retail brokerage headquarters city of St. Louis, Missouri.

We believe the retail brokerage business provides a very attractive opportunity with above average growth prospects and strong profitability that positions Wachovia to capture the significant opportunities in retirement and wealth transference over the foreseeable future. In addition, our brokerage clients benefit from having access to the products originated in the investment banking side of our business. While equity markets will ebb and flow, we’re confident we will achieve our internal rate of return of 24 percent on the A.G. Edwards acquisition.

Sound strategy serves us well
As we entered 2008 the economy was clearly slowing, the fixed income markets were unsettled, and credit quality in the industry was weakening. Yet it is in these types of periods when leaders emerge, and now is Wachovia’s time to step up.

We have a sound core strategy that serves us well:

n	Pursue high growth markets and businesses;
n	Execute superbly – and manage our businesses vigilantly;
n	Focus intently on customer service;
n	Ensure employee engagement;
n	Maintain a disciplined cost culture; and
n	Take an integrated approach to risk management and to capital allocation.

These six objectives have been central to our strategy since our management team took the helm of Wachovia in 2000-2001. Adhering to these objectives has delivered Top 3 total return performance among the 20 largest U.S. banks since year-end 2000.

As the financial industry works its way through this period of turmoil, we remain confident about our growth prospects. We have continuity of management and team-oriented employees with a tough-minded ability to do hard things. Here are some of their achievements in recent years:

n	A significant improvement in expense efficiency. Our overhead efficiency ratio (the amount spent to generate each dollar of revenue) in the last five years through the first half of 2007 went from 60.5 percent to 54.4 percent;
n	Increased joint marketing and distribution activities between our business lines – maximizing our ability to make all products and services available to customers and to increase the revenues and earnings available to our shareholders;
n	Development of a best-in-class General Bank that is the foundation of our company and generates a customer base with the potential to be served by all our key business lines.

Once again in 2007, our General Bank generated strong performance, including:

n	Top decile growth in average core deposits, up more than $65 billion last year, including Golden West.
n	Enviable metrics on customer acquisition and low customer loss. General Bank customer attrition has been cut in half over the past decade to what we believe is an industry low of about 11 percent; and customer acquisition has risen by 40 percent to a record 15.1 percent at year-end 2007.
n	Customer satisfaction that ranks No. 1 not only in retail banking, but also in middle-market commercial lending, mortgage and home equity origination, and in online banking.

With a leadership team led by Ben Jenkins, the General Bank absorbed its share of the mortgage industry downturn and still earned $5.5 billion in 2007. While expenses and credit costs were up, the increase also included continued investment for future growth, including an organizational realignment to position the leadership closer to customers, adding commercial banking teams to new markets, and building 109 branches in higher growth markets.

A solid partner with the General Bank and Capital Management is our Wealth Management division, which is dedicated to serving affluent households and is the eighth largest wealth manager in the country. Our Wealth Management team, under the leadership of Stan Kelly, generated record earnings in 2007. These results were driven by the transition to an open architecture investment model that has been very well received by clients, leading to record growth in trust and investment fees as well as strong loan growth. Wealth Management was named High Net Worth Leader of the Year by the industry publication Private Asset Management.

CIB-CMG Partnership Revenues
(In millions)

Our Capital Management Group (CMG) includes the nation’s third largest retail brokerage company, based on 14,600 financial advisors, and a top 25 mutual fund company, Evergreen Investments. Led by David Carroll, CMG once again generated very strong organic growth in 2007. This growth, coupled with A.G. Edwards, resulted in a 54 percent increase in broker client assets to $1.2 trillion and 52 percent growth in managed account assets – a source of stable, recurring revenue. Also fueling growth was improved broker productivity and increased cross-sales of bank products. In addition, CMG’s pre-tax margin has improved from 14 percent five years ago to 25 percent in 2007 – and with A.G. Edwards, CMG gained the potential to reduce duplicate costs, increase revenues and further improve margins.

Core strategy

n	Pursue high growth markets and businesses
n	Execute superbly – manage vigilantly
n	Provide superior customer service
n	Ensure employee engagement
n	Maintain disciplined cost culture
n	Constantly manage risk and capital allocation

The disruption in the capital markets hit our Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) performance particularly hard. This business has grown organically over the past six years without significant acquisitions, and I have every confidence it will show good growth in the future. Under the leadership of Steve Cummings, CIB has grown its fee-based market share 75 percent since 2001 and become a Top 10 participant in the product areas where they compete in the equity capital markets, debt capital markets, loan syndication and middle-market merger and acquisition advisory businesses.

But in 2007, earnings in this business declined 68 percent to $780 million, driven by $2.9 billion in net market disruption-related valuation losses, primarily within its structured products and leveraged finance businesses. This is discussed in more detail in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of

6     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

this report. It should be noted, however, that these businesses have produced strong profits over the last several years. Together, from the beginning of 2004 through June 2007, these two businesses generated nearly $7 billion in revenue and were major profit contributors. While portions of the structured products business will likely be changed forever, we expect the majority of these businesses to continue to be important to our customers and our company, and strong contributors to revenue and profitability over time. The leaders of these two businesses made solid strategic decisions in building these businesses and continue to have my full confidence. We have exceptional talent in place and we have confidence we will continue to grow these businesses over the long term.

The lessons gained in the market correction of 2007, and the expertise and risk management knowledge of the CIB team, will be extremely important going forward in the real estate capital markets businesses. Commercial real estate will always be an important financial asset in our economy, and there will be a need for companies like Wachovia to provide the capital, structure and liquidity for these investments. It may take a couple of years for the current challenges to work their way through the system, and we believe Wachovia will play an important role as these businesses evolve.

CIB’s plans for 2008 call for more of an originate and hold, rather than originate and distribute strategy, given our focus on serving customers amid the turmoil in the market. We expect that about half of CIB’s revenue will come from net interest income in 2008. In addition, balancing the markets-related businesses in this division (which typically deliver higher growth over time, but are more volatile), we have also built into the CIB business model more stable and consistent payments and lending businesses such as our treasury services and international trade finance businesses, as well as asset-based lending and leasing, both of which are continuing to enjoy strong performance, as are many of CIB’s businesses that weren’t affected by the market disruption.

Wachovia’s universal banking model has been particularly successful in creating strong cross-business partnerships to attract new clients and strengthen long-term relationships. We created about $1 billion in incremental revenues between the seams in our lines of businesses in 2007. For example, CIB originated or underwrote products for our CMG retail brokerage clients in 2007 that generated $657 million in revenue. Our General Bank’s

75% of past decade’s U.S. GDP growth and 80%

of future population growth coming in our footprint

commercial franchise generated $95 million in investment banking revenues for CIB in 2007, and more than $320 million over the past five years.

Intangible strengths
Despite the disappointments of 2007, Wachovia has many strengths that distinguish us from the competition:

n	We begin with a set of key values – integrity, respect for the individual, teamwork, service, personal excellence and accountability, and winning – that have remained core to our culture even as we’ve expanded into new markets. These aren’t just words to our team – we try to live by them day by day, we talk about them and make decisions based on them.
n	We have an intangible asset in our deep pool of talented, highly committed employees. We were honored in 2007 when 93 percent of Wachovia employees participated in our biennial employee survey. Results showed Wachovia’s employee engagement scores were up to 69 percent, well above the U.S. financial services industry average of about 55 percent.
n	And we have a stable and proven leadership team that is deeply driven to succeed and has the tenacity and courage to do it.

Short term outlook
So, for the next several months, we’ll continue to work the challenges every day that come from the current economic environment. But that won’t be our only focus: with great challenges come great opportunities. We’ll also continue to look for ways to take advantage of Wachovia’s relative strengths and cross-business partnerships to benefit our customers.

This management team is time-tested – we’ve experienced many credit cycles before – and we will remain vigilant and active in monitoring risk in our portfolios.

Longer term outlook
Economic conditions will improve. Lower rates and fiscal stimulus will help. At some point the unsold housing inventory will begin to shrink and housing prices will bottom. Credit markets will stabilize and capital will flow back to productive uses.

We’re confident that Wachovia will be well positioned to flourish. We are in the businesses we want to be in – retail, small business, commercial banking, brokerage, investment banking, asset management, wealth management and private banking. We are well positioned to serve our customers – we are product rich with outstanding distribution and a leading reputation for customer satisfaction.

While most of 2008 will likely continue to be a tough financial environment, we are focused foremost on two things: 1) Vigilantly and conservatively managing risk, and 2) Continuing to take good care of our customers. We believe that the actions we took in 2007 have already taken a lot of risk out of our company, and when the external environment once again improves, we’ll benefit from our steadfast focus on our core businesses and on our customers.

We do believe this is a moment of truth for our company: We must execute superbly, manage risk and just plain out-compete in this environment. In good times, it’s hard to distinguish yourself from the competition. We have every confidence we’ll navigate the headwinds of the current business cycle and emerge as a strong company of proven mettle – and we’ll have a company for the ages when we get there.

In closing, I would like to express my deep appreciation for the guidance of our directors, the dedication of our employees, and the support of our customers and shareholders. We are honored that you are with Wachovia.

Sincerely,

G. Kennedy Thompson

Executive Summary

Our earnings are primarily generated through four core businesses, two of which largely conduct traditional banking activities — the General Bank and Wealth Management — and two with businesses that are largely related to financial market activities — the Corporate and Investment Bank and Capital Management. In the following discussion, we explain this diverse group of businesses and why we believe our shareholders and customers benefit over time from this balance and diversity. In addition, throughout this document, we address key performance indicators of our financial position and results of operations that drive shareholder value and serve as benchmarks to compensate management. We also note important trends and uncertainties affecting our businesses, and analyze liquidity and capital resources.

Our diversified business model provides a broad mix of financial products and services, delivered through multiple distribution channels. This means that in addition to the typical lending and deposit-taking activities of traditional banking companies, we also offer investment products and services for retail and institutional customers, and capital

markets financing alternatives for institutional and corporate clients. This business mix produces revenue from the interest income earned on loans and securities, as well as fee income from typically faster-growth but less predictable markets-related businesses of investment banking, asset management and retail brokerage. The continued turmoil in the capital markets and the dramatic change in the credit environment in the second half of the year weighed heavily on Wachovia’s results in 2007, and overshadowed solid momentum in many of our businesses.

Net income in 2007 was $6.3 billion, down 19 percent from 2006, while diluted earnings per common share were down 30 percent to $3.26. These results included net market disruption-related valuation losses of $3.1 billion, of which $2.9 billion was in our Corporate and Investment Bank, $94 million was in the Parent, and $57 million was in Capital Management. Also reducing the bottom line was a $1.8 billion increase in the provision for credit losses to $2.3 billion. The provision exceeded net charge-offs by $1.3 billion, which included $50 million of market disruption-related valuation losses related to impaired loans.

The components of the market disruption-related valuation losses that we recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2007 are summarized below, with further information provided in the Corporate Results of Operations, Net Interest Income and Margin, Fee Income, Corporate and Investment Bank, Capital Management and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions sections that follow. The Outlook section also has additional information.

For a number of years, we have been a major participant in structuring and underwriting fixed income investment products backed by pools of loans, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), as well as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), which are typically backed by pools of bonds including CMBS and RMBS, loans and other assets.

14     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

We have also been a participant in underwriting and syndicating leveraged commercial loans.

Our CMBS and RMBS structuring activities involve consumer and commercial real estate loans underwritten primarily through our direct origination channels. Our CDO business involves transactions predominantly backed by commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. While we do not operate a subprime residential origination channel, we have purchased subprime residential assets such as RMBS as part of our CDO distribution strategy.

In the second half of 2007, the financial markets experienced unprecedented deterioration, particularly the markets for subprime RMBS and for CDOs collateralized by subprime RMBS, which we refer to as ABS CDOs, as well as for CMBS. Rising defaults and delinquencies in subprime residential mortgages as well as rating agencies’ downgrades of a large number of subprime RMBS led to significant declines in the valuations of these types of securities and certain indices that serve as a reference point for determining the value of such securities. Despite relatively strong commercial real estate fundamentals and performance of underlying loans, growing concerns over the U.S. economy and reduced liquidity in the commercial real estate sector led to declines in the value of CMBS and CDOs backed by commercial real estate loans. In addition, investor reaction to market conditions and expectations of returns on commercial loans led to declines in the value of leveraged finance commitments.

We have taken steps to significantly reduce the size of our exposure to structured products and leveraged finance assets originally intended for distribution, which have been most exposed to market disruptions, specifically ABS CDOs, subprime RMBS, CMBS and leveraged finance commitments. The table above right shows our remaining exposure at December 31, 2007, and the comparable changes in those exposures since September 30, 2007.

In the second half of 2007, we elected to transfer certain assets that were originally intended for distribution to the loan portfolio based on our view that the market valuations provided attractive longer term investment returns. These assets were transferred at fair value and are no longer being marketed. These transfers included $181 million of subprime-related assets and $1.6 billion of commercial mortgage-related assets and on January 18, 2008, $2.5 billion of foreign commercial mortgage-related assets representing 54 positions.

As of December 31, 2007, our notional subprime ABS CDO distribution exposure, net of hedges with financial guarantors, was $821 million and our subprime RMBS exposure of $1.9 billion was rated AAA or equivalent by rating agencies.

In 2007, our ABS CDO valuation losses include write-downs equivalent to substantially all of Wachovia’s $300 million

investment in BluePoint Re, a Wachovia consolidated subsidiary that is a financial guaranty re-insurer licensed in Bermuda. On February 1, 2008, Moody’s Investor Service announced that it had placed BluePoint Re on review for possible downgrade. We have no further obligation to inject capital into BluePoint Re or to fund any additional losses.

Our CMBS mark-to-market exposure of $7.6 billion at December 31, 2007, was reduced to $3.6 billion as of January 18, 2008, which represented a 10-year duration equivalent exposure of $870 million. More than 50 percent of the exposure was AAA-rated or equivalent.

Leveraged finance exposure at December 31, 2007, of $9.1 billion included $7.2 billion of unfunded commitments and only $50 million of bridge equity exposure.

The fair values of all of our assets that are subject to market valuation adjustments, including subprime RMBS and ABS CDOs, CMBS warehouse assets and leveraged finance commitments, depend on market conditions and assumptions that may change over time. Accordingly, the fair values of these investments in future periods and their effect on our financial results will depend on future market developments and assumptions and may be materially greater or less than the changes in values during 2007 discussed above.

Other Earnings Factors Results included after-tax net merger-related and restructuring expenses of $156 million, or 8 cents per share, in 2007 and $115 million, or 7 cents per share, in 2006. Revenues and expenses also reflect the impact of several acquisitions in 2007 and 2006, including A.G. Edwards Inc. from October 1, 2007; a majority interest

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

in European Credit Management Ltd. (ECM), a London-based fixed income investment management firm, from January 31, 2007; Golden West Financial Corporation (parent of the former World Savings Bank, FSB, now Wachovia Mortgage, FSB) from October 1, 2006; and Westcorp and WFS Financial (together, Westcorp) from March 1, 2006. In addition, results include the effect of the divestiture of our subprime mortgage servicing operation in late 2006.

The retail brokerage operations of A.G. Edwards were consolidated with Wachovia Securities, LLC, our retail securities brokerage subsidiary, on January 1, 2008, and the combined firm is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. This combination gives us a national footprint of more than 3,700 brokerage locations, including 1,500 dedicated retail offices nationwide, $1.2 trillion in client assets and more than 14,600 financial advisors.

While the market disruption and credit headwinds diminished our 2007 earnings, we experienced solid growth in many of our businesses. Growth in 2007 compared with 2006 came from:

• 5 percent higher revenue, driven by increased loans, deposits, fiduciary and asset management fees, commissions and service charges due to acquisitions and to organic growth. These results were muted by a 9 percent decline in fee and other income as a result of the market disruption.

• 19 percent higher net interest income, driven by increased earning assets despite 17 basis points of margin compression reflecting customer preference for fixed rate deposits and loans, as well as the effect of higher wholesale borrowing and increased liquidity levels. Average loans rose $121.4 billion, primarily on the full year effect of the Golden West acquisition, and average core deposits increased $70.2 billion.

Noninterest expense rose 13 percent, primarily reflecting the impact of acquisitions, legal and nonmerger severance expense, as well as continued investment for future growth. The 2007 tax rate on a tax-equivalent basis of 29.27 percent compared with 33.42 percent in the previous year, with the decrease largely reflecting the effect of lower pre-tax income.

Wachovia is one of the nation’s largest lenders, and changes in the credit quality of our loan portfolio can have a significant impact on earnings. Deterioration in credit metrics in 2007 largely reflected significant weakness in the housing market, which materially affected our performance. However, we continue to believe that the highly collateralized nature of our portfolio positions us well in the face of rising credit costs. In 2007 our net charge-offs were $972 million, an increase of $606 million from 2006, and represented an 11 basis point increase in the net charge-off ratio to 0.23 percent of average net loans. This included

increased commercial net charge-offs of $252 million, up $228 million from 2006, largely in commercial real estate. The increase in consumer net charge-offs of $378 million was driven by increased losses of $182 million in auto loans and $111 million in our payment option mortgage product called Pick-a-Payment, which included $64 million related to an alignment in charge-off methodology to record charge-offs at 180 days past due rather than when we take possession of the property. Based on the accelerated deterioration in the housing market, our expected loss factors for the Pick-a-Payment product increased, and included a forecast for nearly 20 percent portfolio-weighted nationwide home price deterioration between mid 2007 and the end of 2008 for loans as well as increased defaults.

Nonperforming assets, including loans held for sale, were $5.4 billion, representing a ratio of nonperforming assets to loans, foreclosed properties and loans held for sale of 1.14 percent, an increase of $4.1 billion, or 82 basis points, from 2006. Provision expense increased to $2.3 billion in 2007 from $434 million in the prior year, driven largely by the effect of dramatic deterioration in certain housing markets as well as loan growth. We continue to mitigate the risk and volatility of our balance sheet through prudent risk management practices, including enhanced collection efforts.

The capital markets disruption and credit headwinds diminished results in some of our businesses, hitting our Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) particularly hard, with their earnings down 68 percent to $780 million. However, CIB has a number of businesses that were not adversely affected by the market disruption, as described further in the Corporate and Investment Bank section. In addition, while absorbing increased credit costs, our other core banking businesses continued to generate strong performance, as did our brokerage operations. The General Bank’s earnings rose 20 percent to $5.5 billion, reflecting the full year impact of the Golden West acquisition as well as organic growth in loans, deposits and services charges. Wealth Management’s earnings grew 6 percent to $320 million and reflected strength in fiduciary and asset management fees on continuing growth related to the 2006 rollout of an open architecture investment platform, as well as a pricing initiative implemented in the third quarter of 2007. Capital Management grew earnings 33 percent to $1.2 billion, primarily reflecting strength in retail brokerage managed account fees and higher retail brokerage transaction activity as well as the impact of the A.G. Edwards and ECM acquisitions.

Average loans increased 39 percent from 2006 to $429.1 billion. Average consumer loans rose 62 percent, driven by the full year effect of the Golden West acquisition and organic growth. We have expanded our focus on consumer lending over the past two years, and now offer a broader suite of mortgage products through our extended bank branch network, auto loans through our expanded dealer financial services network, and direct issuance of credit cards to our

16     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

customers within our banking footprint. In 2007, traditional mortgage loans grew 14 percent year over year. Home equity loans were essentially flat year over year largely reflecting lower utilization and tightened underwriting in weaker housing markets. Auto loans increased 34 percent. Average commercial loan growth of 16 percent reflected organic growth in middle-market commercial, large corporate loans and expansion in international lending. In 2008, we expect new loan growth to moderate due to increased pricing discipline, tighter underwriting guidelines and greater emphasis on portfolio lending rather than on originating to sell.

Average core deposits increased 23 percent from 2006 to $379.3 billion, including the full year effect of Golden West. Average low-cost core deposits increased 6 percent from 2006 to $257.6 billion, despite lower average account balances and a continued shift to higher cost deposits. We expect deposits to grow further in 2008 as we expand product distribution in the newly integrated former World Savings branches, offer FDIC sweep deposits in the former A.G. Edwards franchise, grow mortgage escrow balances, increase productivity in our de novo (or new) branches and benefit from new product introductions throughout our marketplace. We also continue to enhance the efficiency of our financial center network and expand our presence in higher growth markets. This has resulted in higher expenses, largely in the General Bank. In 2007, we opened 109 de novo branches, consolidated 128 branches and expanded our commercial banking presence, which added $148 million to noninterest expense.

We paid common stockholders dividends of $4.6 billion, or $2.40 per share, in 2007, and $3.6 billion, or $2.14 per share in 2006. We remain well positioned in a challenging environment with a strong liquidity position and capital levels. In December 2007, we issued $2.3 billion of preferred stock and $838 million of trust preferred securities at compelling pricing levels. Earlier in 2007, we issued $1.7 billion of trust preferred securities. In addition, in early 2008, we issued $3.5 billion of preferred stock, which will increase tier 1 capital by 59 basis points. Our balance sheet is strong and well capitalized under regulatory guidelines with a tier 1 capital ratio of 7.35 percent, a leverage ratio of 6.09 percent and a tangible capital ratio of 4.29 percent at December 31, 2007. More information is in the Stockholders’ Equity section.

Outlook

With the disruption in the capital markets in the second half of 2007, our diversified business model and fundamental strengths continued to serve us well despite pressure on our markets-oriented businesses. Revenue generation from many of these markets-related businesses will be challenged over the next few quarters, but longer term we are optimistic that our strong capital and liquidity and clear understanding of the needs of our customers and investors position us well to capitalize on the opportunities arising in the wake of these market conditions.

Looking ahead, we are taking appropriate steps to ensure that as financial markets remain unsettled, we focus intently on controlling costs and on actively managing our exposures in a challenging credit environment. We are confident our company is in the right businesses for long-term growth, and that our strategy of focusing on high growth businesses and markets, customer service, expense discipline, and our commitment to strong credit risk management will continue to create value for shareholders over the long term.

In 2008, we are confident we will generate sufficient cash earnings to cover dividend payments, build credit reserves as warranted by our models, invest in our businesses, support balance sheet growth and improve capital ratios. Our outlook for 2008, which follows, generally assumes a slowing U.S. economy overall and a steepening yield curve including the effect of declining short-term interest rates. Based on these assumptions, for full year 2008 compared with full year 2007, and before merger-related and restructuring expenses, we expect:

• Net interest income growth will be driven by loan and deposit growth and spread widening.

• Nominal fee income from businesses in disrupted markets.

• Solid fee income growth in service charges, interchange fees, fiduciary and asset management fees and commissions, global rates, high grade, treasury and trade finance, merger and acquisition advisory services, and equities.

• Estimated gains in first quarter 2008 of $250 million to $350 million, which are related to adoption of new accounting standards for fair value (see the Accounting and Regulatory Matters section for more information).

• Continued expense discipline including efficiencies related to the Golden West and A.G. Edwards acquisitions and actions taken in the second half of 2007 largely related to the market disruption. First quarter 2008 results will include stock compensation expense of $90 million to $100 million.

• Minority interest expense in line with 2007 results.

• A continued rise in credit costs, but at manageable levels; provision expense in the first half of 2008 is expected to remain below 75 basis points.

• An effective income tax rate of approximately 32 percent to 34 percent on a tax-equivalent basis.

• Use of excess capital to pay dividends, fund growth and build capital.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

We are focused on ensuring a successful integration of our acquisitions, including A.G. Edwards as described above and the further integration of the former World Savings offices, which is scheduled for completion by mid-2008 in the overlapping states in our Eastern regions. The integration of former World Savings offices in our Western regions was successfully completed in the fall of 2007.

When consistent with our overall business strategy, we may consider disposing of certain assets, branches, subsidiaries or lines of business. We routinely explore acquisition opportunities in areas that would complement our core businesses, and conduct due diligence activities in connection with possible acquisitions. As a result, acquisition discussions and, in some cases, negotiations take place and future acquisitions involving cash, debt or equity securities could occur.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and conform to general practices within the applicable industries. We use a significant amount of judgment and estimates based on assumptions for which the actual results are uncertain when we make the estimations. We have identified five policies as being particularly sensitive to judgments and the extent to which significant estimates are used: allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments (which is recorded in other liabilities); fair value of certain financial instruments; consolidation; goodwill impairment; and contingent liabilities.

Other accounting policies, such as pension liability measurement and stock option fair value determination, also involve the use of judgment and estimates, but the impact of the estimates is not significant to our consolidated results of operations. The Audit Committee of our board of directors reviews all significant policies, the judgment and estimation processes involved, and related disclosures.

Our policy on the allowance for loan losses applies to all loans, but is different from the methodology used to allocate the provision for credit losses for segment reporting purposes, which is discussed in applicable Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The policy on fair value of certain financial instruments applies largely to the Corporate and Investment Bank and the Parent, both of which hold large portfolios of securities and derivatives. The policy on consolidation affects the Corporate and Investment Bank, Capital Management and the Parent, all of which are involved in structuring securitization transactions. The policies on goodwill impairment and contingent liabilities affect all segments.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments The allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which we refer to collectively as the allowance for credit losses, are maintained at levels we believe are adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and unfunded lending commitments as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. We monitor various qualitative and quantitative credit metrics and trends, including changes in the levels of past due, criticized and nonperforming loans as part of our allowance modeling process. In addition, we rely on estimates and exercise judgment in assessing credit risk.

We employ a variety of modeling and estimation tools for measuring credit risk. These tools are periodically reevaluated and refined as appropriate. The following provides a description of each component of our allowance for credit losses, the techniques we currently use and the estimates and judgments inherent in each.

Our model for the allowance for loan losses has four components: formula-based components for both the commercial and consumer portfolios, each including a factor for historical loss variability; a reserve for impaired commercial loans; and an unallocated component.

For commercial loans, the formula-based component of the allowance for loan losses is based on statistical estimates of the average losses observed by credit grade. Average losses for each credit grade reflect the annualized historical default rate and the average losses realized for defaulted loans.

For consumer loans, the formula-based component of the allowance for loan losses is based on statistical estimates of the average losses observed by product classification. We compute average losses for each product class using historical loss data, including analysis of delinquency patterns, origination vintage and various credit risk forecast indicators. Specifically for certain residential real estate loans, we use borrowers’ standard credit scoring measure (FICO), loan-to-value ratios for underlying properties, home price appreciation or depreciation data and other general economic data in estimating losses. In certain cases, we may stratify the portfolio geographically in the estimation of future home value changes.

For both commercial and consumer loans, the formula-based components include additional amounts to establish reasonable ranges that consider observed historical variability in losses. This historical loss variability component represents a measure of the potential for significant volatility above average losses over short periods. Factors we may consider in setting these amounts include, but are not limited to, industry-specific data, geographic data, portfolio-specific risks or concentrations, and macroeconomic conditions. At December 31, 2007, the formula-based components of the

18     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

allowance were $2.2 billion for commercial loans and $2.0 billion for consumer loans, compared with $1.9 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2006.

We have established specific reserves within the allowance for loan losses for impaired commercial loans. We individually review any nonaccrual commercial loan with a minimum total exposure of $10 million in the Corporate and Investment Bank and $5 million in other segments to determine the amount of impairment, if any. In addition, certain nonaccrual commercial real estate loans in the Corporate and Investment Bank having a minimum exposure of $5 million are also reviewed individually. The reserve for each individually reviewed loan is based on the difference between the loan’s carrying amount and the loan’s estimated fair value. No other reserve is provided on impaired loans that are individually reviewed. At December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses included $226 million and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments included $4 million for individually reviewed impaired loans and facilities. At December 31, 2006, these amounts were $14 million and $5 million, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses is supplemented with an unallocated component to reflect the inherent uncertainty of our estimates. The amount of this component and its relationship to the total allowance for loan losses may change from one period to another as warranted by facts and circumstances. We anticipate the unallocated component of the allowance will generally not exceed 5 percent of the total allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2007, the unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses was $165 million, or 4 percent of the allowance for loan losses, compared with $160 million, or 5 percent, at December 31, 2006.

The reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which relates only to commercial business where our intent is to hold the funded loan in the loan portfolio, is based on a modeling process that is consistent with the methodology described above for the commercial portion of the allowance. In addition, this model includes as a key factor the historical average rate at which unfunded commercial exposures have been funded at the time of default. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the reserve for unfunded lending commitments was $210 million and $154 million, respectively, including the reserve for impaired commitments.

The factors supporting the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments as described above do not diminish the fact that the entire allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments are available to absorb losses in the loan portfolio and related commitment portfolio, respectively. Our principal focus, therefore, is on the adequacy of the total allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments.

Additionally, our primary bank regulators regularly conduct examinations of the allowance for credit losses and make assessments regarding its adequacy and the methodology employed in its determination.

Fair Value of Certain Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between a willing buyer and seller (also referred to as “exit price”). This definition is codified in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which we adopted along with SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 also categorizes fair value measurements into three levels based on the extent to which the measurement relies on observable market prices.

The following classes of financial instruments, both on- and off-balance sheet, are currently recorded at fair value or lower of cost or market value:

• Trading assets and liabilities, including debt and equity securities and derivatives, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in earnings.

• Debt and equity securities and retained interests in securitizations classified as available for sale, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in stockholders’ equity.

• Derivatives designated as fair value or cash flow accounting hedges, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in earnings for fair value hedges and in stockholders’ equity for cash flow hedges.

• Principal investments, which are classified in other assets and which include public equity and private debt and equity investments, with realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded in earnings. Certain principal investments are recorded at values such that gains or losses are not recorded until certain events confirm the value has changed, such as a subsequent round of funding by the investee or receipt of distributions from private equity funds. Under SFAS 157, the valuation methodology for principal investments will change significantly as described in more detail in the Accounting and Regulatory Matters section.

• Loans held for sale, which are recorded at the lower of cost or market value, with write-downs and related recoveries of previous write-downs recorded in earnings.

Unfunded commitments for loans where management’s intent is to sell all or part of the funded loan, largely in our leveraged finance business, are off-balance sheet; however, a reserve is recorded in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, when management believes that a loss is both probable and estimable. The loss estimate is based

Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report     19

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

on management’s assessment of either the amount we would pay to transfer the commitment or the difference between the assumed funded amount, if the loan were to fund currently, and the amount at which the loan could be sold currently.

Additionally, assets, liabilities (both financial and nonfinancial), off-balance sheet instruments and identified intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially recorded at fair value with the difference between the total fair value and the purchase price recorded as goodwill. Preliminary fair value estimates are subject to refinement for up to one year following consummation of a business combination.

In determining the fair value of financial instruments, we use market prices of the same or similar instruments whenever such prices are available, even in situations where trading volume may be low when compared with prior periods as has been the case during the current market disruption. We do not use prices involving distressed sellers in determining fair value. Where necessary, we estimate fair value using other market observable data such as prices for synthetic or derivative instruments, market indices, industry ratings of underlying collateral or models employing techniques such as discounted cash flow analyses. The assumptions used in the models, which typically include assumptions for interest rates, credit losses and prepayments, are corroborated by and independently verified against market observable data where possible. In valuing instruments where the underlying collateral is real estate or where the fair value of an instrument being valued highly correlates to real estate prices, we use market observable real estate data. Where appropriate, we may use a combination of these valuation approaches.

Where the market price of the same or similar instruments is not available, the valuation of financial instruments becomes more subjective and involves a high degree of judgment. Where modeling techniques are used, the models are subject to independent validation procedures in accordance with our risk management policies and procedures. Further, all pricing data is subject to independent verification.

While we did not adopt SFAS 157 until January 1, 2008, we estimate that at December 31, 2007, less than 3 percent of our total assets and less than 1 percent of our total liabilities meet the definition in SFAS 157 of a Level 3 valuation where Level 3 involves the most subjective inputs. Generally, Level 3 valuations involve the use of pricing models or other valuation techniques as described above. Where models are employed, we apply the models consistently from period to period, and model assumptions reflect our understanding of what market participants would use. The Accounting and Regulatory Matters section has additional information on SFAS 157 and SFAS 159.

Consolidation In certain asset securitization transactions that meet the applicable criteria to be accounted for as sales, we sell assets to an entity referred to as a qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE), which is not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. In order for a special purpose entity to be considered a QSPE, it must meet a series of requirements at the inception of the transaction and on an ongoing basis. These requirements strictly limit the activities in which a QSPE may engage and the types of assets and liabilities it may hold. In some cases, these criteria are subject to interpretation. To the extent any QSPE fails to meet these criteria, we may be required to consolidate its assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

The FASB has a project under way in which it is addressing, among other matters, what activities a QSPE may perform. The outcome of this project may affect the entities we consolidate in future periods. The Accounting and Regulatory Matters section has additional information on this FASB project.

We also sell assets to and have involvement with other special purpose entities, some of which are variable interest entities (VIE). These include certain financing activities primarily conducted for corporate clients, including the conduit that we administer, transactions such as collateralized debt obligations, partnerships, synthetic lease trusts and trust preferred securities.

Under the provisions of FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 46 (revised), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R), a VIE is consolidated by a company holding the variable interest that will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, or receive a majority of the expected residual returns, or both. The company that consolidates a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary. Applicable Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provide additional information.

A variety of complex estimation processes involving both qualitative and quantitative factors are used to determine whether an entity is a VIE, and to analyze and calculate its expected losses and its expected residual returns. These processes involve estimating the future cash flows of the VIE, analyzing the variability in those cash flows, and allocating the losses and returns among the parties holding variable interests. This involves a significant amount of judgment in interpreting the provisions of FIN 46R and other related guidance and applying them to specific transactions.

Goodwill Impairment As discussed in the Business Segments section, we operate in four core business segments. Our reporting units for testing goodwill are our lines of business that are one level below the core business segments, where applicable. These reporting units are General Bank: Commercial, Retail and Small Business; Wealth Management; Corporate and Investment Bank: Corporate

20     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

Lending, Investment Banking, and Treasury and International Trade Finance; and Capital Management: Retail Brokerage Services and Asset Management.

We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, we would recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess.

Fair values of reporting units in 2007 were determined using two methods, one based on market earnings multiples of peer companies for each reporting unit, and the other based on discounted cash flow models with estimated cash flows based on internal forecasts of revenues and expenses. The earnings multiples for the first method ranged between 8.4 times and 17.8 times. The estimated cash flows for the second method used market-based discount rates ranging from 11.4 percent to 17.2 percent. These two methods provide a range of valuations that we use in evaluating goodwill for possible impairment. Our goodwill impairment testing for 2007, which was updated at year-end 2007 as a result of the market disruption, indicated that none of our goodwill is impaired. As a result of the market disruption, the excess of the fair value over the carrying value narrowed in reporting units that include markets-related businesses. An extended period of further significant market deterioration may impair our goodwill in the future. Applicable Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provide additional information.

Contingent Liabilities We are subject to contingent liabilities, including judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings, tax and other claims arising from the conduct of our business activities. These proceedings include actions brought against us and/or our subsidiaries with respect to transactions in which we and/or our subsidiaries acted as lender, underwriter, financial advisor, broker or in a related capacity. Reserves are established for legal and other claims when it becomes probable we will incur a loss and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Changes in the probability assessment can lead to changes in recorded reserves. In addition, the actual costs of resolving these contingencies may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts reserved for these claims. Applicable Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provide more information.

Corporate Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and Margin We earn net interest income on the difference between interest income on earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and other funding sources. Tax-equivalent net interest income, which is net interest income adjusted to reflect the benefit of interest-earning tax-free assets, increased 19 percent in 2007 from 2006. The effect of earning asset growth of $125.8 bil-

lion, improving loan spreads and deposit growth were partially offset by the shift to lower spread deposits, increased liquidity levels and higher funding costs in response to the market disruption, as well as increased nonaccrual loans.

The net interest margin, which is the difference between tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense, divided by average earning assets, declined 17 basis points to 2.95 percent, primarily due to growth in lower spread consumer and commercial loans, a shift in deposits toward lower-spread categories, the impact of acquisitions and the effect of an inverted yield curve. The Westcorp acquisition in March 2006 added a portfolio of higher spread auto loans while the October 2006 acquisition of Golden West added lower spread consumer real estate loans.

The average federal funds rate in 2007 was 5 basis points higher than the average rate in 2006, while the average longer-term two-year treasury note rate decreased 46 basis points and the average 10-year treasury note rate decreased 16 basis points. Market rates suggest that in 2008 the yield curve will be steeper than in 2007 as a result of short-term rates falling more than long-term rates. If this expectation materializes, we expect the effect on net interest income and the margin to be positive. The Interest Rate Risk Management section has more information.

In order to maintain our targeted interest rate risk profile, derivatives are often used to manage the interest rate risk

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

inherent in our assets and liabilities. We routinely deploy hedging strategies designed to protect future net interest income. These strategies may reduce current income in the short-term, although we expect them to benefit future periods. In 2007, interest rate risk management-related derivatives reduced net interest income by $380 million, or 6 basis points on our net interest margin, compared with a decrease of $55 million, or 1 basis point, in 2006.

Fee and Other Income Traditionally banks earn fee and other income from service charges on deposit accounts and other banking products and services, and these continue to be a significant component of our fee income. In addition, we have balanced our earnings with a diversified mix of businesses that provide alternative investment and financing products and services for the more sophisticated needs of our clients. These alternative products produce income in our brokerage, asset management and investment banking businesses from commissions and fees for financial advice, custody, insurance, loan syndications and asset securitizations. Additionally, we realize gains when we sell our investments in debt and equity securities. The fees on many of these products and services are based on market valuations and therefore are sensitive to movements in the financial markets. The 9 percent decline in fee and other income in 2007 compared with 2006 reflected the impact of the capital markets disruption on many of our investment banking businesses, resulting in net market-related valuation losses of $3.0 billion and reduced volume in 2007. This was partially offset by strength in fiduciary and asset management fees and commissions largely related to the A.G. Edwards and ECM acquisitions, while the full year effect of the Golden West acquisition contributed to organic growth in service charges. In addition, in 2007 compared with 2006:

• Increased service charges were driven by strength in consumer service charges on higher volume and improved pricing, while commercial service charges rose on increased volume.

• Growth in other banking fees was driven by strength in interchange as well as international-related fees, partially offset by lower mortgage banking income, including the divestiture of our subprime mortgage servicing operation in late 2006.

• Higher commissions reflected the addition of A.G. Edwards, as well as higher retail brokerage transaction activity, including higher equity syndicate volumes in the first half of the year.

• Growth in fiduciary and asset management fees was driven by strong growth in retail brokerage managed account assets and other brokerage asset-based fees, trust and investment fees, and the addition of A.G. Edwards and ECM.

• Advisory and underwriting results improved, with strength in merger and acquisition advisory services, high grade and equities underwriting despite market weakness in the second half of the year.

• Trading account losses were $856 million, reflecting $1.4 billion in losses resulting from the market disruption, including:

• $ 1.1 billion in subprime residential asset-backed CDOs and other subprime-related products largely relating to losses in warehouse positions.

• $367 million in commercial mortgage structured products.

• $105 million in consumer mortgage structured products.

• $245 million of gains in leveraged finance, net of fees and applicable hedges.

• Principal investing results were strong largely reflecting a $270 million unrealized gain related to the sale of a minority interest in a portion of the direct investment portfolio.

• Net securities losses were $278 million including $367 million of market disruption-related net losses, of which $57 million related to the third quarter 2007 purchase of certain asset-backed commercial paper investments from Evergreen money market funds. This compared with net securities gains of $118 million in 2006.

Other income of $375 million was down $1.8 billion from a year ago. Market disruption-related net valuation losses were $721 million in 2007 in our commercial mortgage securitization business, offsetting strong results in the first half of the year; $421 million related to our leveraged finance commitments; and $100 million related to consumer mortgage. Other income also included $210 million lower consumer sale and securitization results on lower volume. Other income in 2006 included a $100 million credit card-related fee.

Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense, which includes all expense other than the interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds and the provision for credit losses, increased 13 percent in 2007 from 2006. More than 50 percent of the increase was in salaries and employee benefits expense largely attributable to the addition of Golden West and A.G. Edwards, as well as other acquisitions. Salaries and employee benefits expense is our largest component of noninterest expense and is driven by the level of full-time equivalent employees, incentive compensation trends and costs for the health care and retirement benefits we provide. Expenses also reflected $397 million associated with our growth initiatives, including de novo expansion, branch consolidations, western expansion and efficiency initiatives, compared with $255 million in 2006.

Sundry expense includes costs for various legal matters, including costs related to multiple contractual agreements associated with our membership interest in Visa. We anticipate at this time that our proportional share of the proceeds of the planned Visa initial public offering will more than completely offset these liabilities.

We sponsor a defined benefit pension plan for our employees, and salaries and employee benefits expense included $50 million in 2007 and $136 million in 2006 of retirement benefits cost for this plan. This decrease was attributable to the effect of increased contributions in late 2006. This expense reflected estimated returns on the plan assets of 8.5 percent in 2007 and 2006, while actual returns were 13.9 percent and 8.9 percent for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The differences between estimated and actual returns are deferred, and along with other amounts, are recognized over the estimated remaining service periods of the plan participants. At December 31, 2007, we had deferred net losses and other items of $732 million, which will be recognized as a component of retirement benefits expense over the next 12 years on a straight-line basis. Applicable Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements have additional information related to this and other pension and postretirement plans,

including how we determine the key assumptions used to measure the benefit obligation and retirement benefits expense. The funding of our pension obligation does not represent a significant liquidity commitment for us.

Merger-Related and Restructuring Expenses Merger-related and restructuring expenses in 2007 of $265 million included $124 million related to A.G. Edwards, $118 million related to Golden West and a net $23 million related to Westcorp and other acquisitions. In 2006, we recorded $179 million of these expenses, which included $64 million related to our acquisition of SouthTrust Corporation in November 2004, $41 million related to the subprime servicing operation divestiture, $40 million related to Golden West and $34 million related to other acquisitions.

Income Taxes Income taxes were $2.5 billion in 2007 and $3.7 billion in 2006. The related income tax rates on a tax-equivalent basis were 29.27 percent and 33.42 percent a year ago. The decrease in the tax rate year over year resulted from lower earnings.

Business Segments

We provide diversified banking and nonbanking financial services and products primarily through four core business segments, the General Bank, Wealth Management, the Corporate and Investment Bank, and Capital Management. We also have a Parent segment that includes all asset and liability management functions, including managing our securities portfolio for liquidity and interest rate risk. Business segment data excludes merger-related and restructuring expenses, other intangible amortization, the gain on sale of discontinued operations, and the effect of changes in accounting principles. In this section, we discuss the performance and results of these core business segments and the Parent in 2007 compared with 2006. The Comparison of 2006 with 2005 section has details on business segment trends over that period.

We originate and securitize or sell loans, principally commercial mortgages and consumer real estate, auto and student loans. The General Bank results include sales and securitizations of mortgage loans where we generally do not retain significant interests other than servicing rights, and gains and losses on sales are included in other fee income. The Corporate and Investment Bank results include securi-tizations of commercial and consumer loans, with gains and losses reflected in other fee income. We generally retain servicing rights on commercial loan securitizations, but not significant retained interests. In addition, the Corporate and Investment Bank securitizes assets on behalf of customers for whom we may have warehoused the collateral on our balance sheet prior to the transaction. Gains and losses on these transactions are recorded in trading account profits, along with any gains or losses on the assets while we held them. The Parent results include securitizations of other consumer loans in which we have retained interests and/or servicing rights. Gains and losses on these consumer loan

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

securitizations are recorded in other fee income. Certain of these consumer loans are included in the General Bank results as if they had not been securitized; the Parent results include a negative, or contra, loan balance for the consolidated balance sheet.

Applicable Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements discuss in detail the management reporting model on which our segment information is based and also provides a reconciliation of business segment earnings to the consolidated results of operations.

Key Performance Metrics Business segment earnings are the primary measure we use to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. Economic profit, risk adjusted return on capital (RAROC) and efficiency ratios are additional metrics that are based on and calculated directly from segment earnings, and which assist management in evaluating segment results. The first two measures are calculated as follows:

      Economic Profit = Economic Net Income — Capital Charge

           RAROC = Economic Net Income / Economic Capital

Economic profit is a measure of the earnings above an explicit charge for the capital used to support a transaction or business unit. It is calculated as a dollar amount of return. RAROC is a ratio of return to risk and is stated as a percentage.

The return component of both of these measures is economic net income, which reflects two adjustments to segment earnings. First, we replace current period provision expense with expected loss (a statistically derived, forward-looking number that represents the average expected loan losses over time), and second, we remove certain noncash expenses. The risk component for these measures is economic capital, which is discussed below, as is the capital charge used in calculating economic profit.

Economic Capital A disciplined and consistent approach to quantifying risk is required to achieve an accurate risk-based pricing and value-based performance reporting system. We employ an economic capital framework developed to measure the declines in economic value that a transaction, portfolio or business unit could incur given an extreme event or business environment. The greater the frequency and severity of potential negative outcomes, the greater the levels of capital required.

The five types of risk to which we attribute economic capital are:

• Credit Risk: Credit risk, which represented 58 percent of our economic capital in 2007, is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in a borrower’s ability to meet its financial obligations under agreed-upon terms. Economic capital for all credit risk assets is calculated by the credit analytics group within the risk management organization.

• Market Risk: The major components of market risk, which represented 20 percent of economic capital in 2007, are interest rate risk inherent in our balance sheet, price risk in our principal investing portfolio and market value risk in our trading portfolios.

• Operational Risk: Operational risk, which represented 8 percent of our economic capital in 2007, is the risk of loss from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. This risk is inherent in all our businesses.

• Additional Risks: Our economic capital framework also captures additional risks beyond credit, market and operational. These include business risk, which represents the potential losses our business lines could suffer that have not been captured elsewhere (such as losses from a difficult business environment), and other risk, which represents the loss in value that fixed assets could realize that is not captured as market risk. Business and other risk represented 14 percent of our economic capital in 2007.

Our economic capital models are calibrated to achieve a standard of default protection equivalent to a “AA” rated institution. These models were developed to determine economic capital under a consistent, specific, internal definition of risk (that is, uncertainty in economic value). Accordingly, our required aggregate economic capital can be materially different from other capital measures developed under GAAP, regulatory or rating agency frameworks.

We measure the financial returns achieved by a transaction or business unit after deducting a charge for the economic capital required to support the risks taken. We calculate this charge by multiplying the attributed economic capital by the cost of our equity capital (derived through a capital asset pricing model approach). Since 2002, the cost of capital has been 11 percent. The cost of capital is reviewed annually by our treasury division.

We use RAROC and economic profit measures in a variety of ways. They are used to aid in the pricing of transactions such as loans, commitments and credit substitutes in each of our business segments. These transactional measures are aggregated to provide portfolio, business unit, business segment, and ultimately company-level RAROC and economic profit amounts. Incremental activities such as new product analysis, business line extensions and acquisitions are also measured using these tools. Economic profit also is a significant component of certain of our incentive compensation programs.

Changes in Methodology We continuously update segment information for changes that occur in the management of our businesses. In 2007, we updated our segment reporting for the realignment of the General Bank’s private advisory business to Wealth Management and the General Bank’s

24     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

commercial real estate business to the corporate lending subsegment in the Corporate and Investment Bank. In addition, in 2007, we moved our cross-border leasing activity from the Corporate and Investment Bank to the Parent to keep it aligned with the way in which this activity is reported to senior management subsequent to the adoption of the new accounting standard for leveraged leases. We also discontinued certain intercompany fee arrangements between Capital Management and the Parent and realigned the reporting of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) hedging results such that, beginning in 2007, all volatility is now included in the Parent. Our current and historical financial reporting reflects these changes. The impact to segment earnings as a result of these changes was:

• In the General Bank, a decrease of $626 million in 2006 and $581 million in 2005.

• In Wealth Management, an increase of $35 million in 2006 and $46 million in 2005.

• In the Corporate and Investment Bank, an increase of $493 million in 2006 and $405 million in 2005.

• In Capital Management, a decrease of $20 million in 2006 and $17 million in 2005.

• In the Parent, an increase of $118 million in 2006 and $147 million in 2005.

General Bank The General Bank includes our Retail and Small Business and Commercial lines of business. The General Bank’s products by business line include:

• Retail Bank: Checking, savings and money market accounts; time deposits and IRAs; home equity, residential mortgage, student and personal loans; debit and credit cards; mutual funds and annuities.

• Small Business: Deposit, loan and investment products and services to businesses with annual revenues up to $3 million.

• Commercial Banking: Commercial deposit, lending, treasury management and dealer financial services to businesses typically with annual revenues between $3 million and $250 million.

The General Bank’s earnings rose 20 percent to $5.5 billion as a result of a larger balance sheet primarily related to the acquisition of Golden West in the fourth quarter of 2006 as well as to organic growth in loans, deposits and service charges, although credit cost headwinds dampened results. Other key General Bank trends in 2007 compared with 2006 included:

• 22 percent revenue growth, led by 28 percent growth in net interest income. The acquisition impact and organic

	strength in loan production, particularly in the wholesale businesses, small business and auto also drove net interest income growth.
•	7 percent higher fee and other income, with solid growth in service charges and interchange income more than offsetting the effect of the $100 million credit card fee received in 2006 and a decline in mortgage securitization activity.
•	Commercial loan growth, up 11 percent, driven by robust production in middle-market commercial and business banking. Commercial real estate rose 2 percent reflecting growth in income-producing properties. Consumer loans were up 77 percent, driven by the acquisition impact as well as additional organic growth in traditional mortgage and auto. Home equity loans were down from 2006 reflecting lower demand in the uncertain housing markets and interest rate levels.
•	Average core deposit growth of 29 percent led by consumer certificates of deposit, up $55.3 billion from 2006 on the full year effect of Golden West, and money market deposits, up $3.0 billion year over year. Net new retail checking accounts reached 935,000 in 2007, compared with an increase of 554,000 in 2006. Of the net new retail checking accounts in 2007, more than 100,000 or 11 percent came from the former World Savings branch network.
•	20 percent increase in noninterest expense including Golden West as well as an organizational realignment, which drove salaries and severance costs higher; de novo branch activity, with 109 branches added and 128 consolidated; and other growth initiatives.

Corporate and Investment Bank Our Corporate and Investment Bank includes the following lines of business:

• Corporate Lending: Large corporate lending and commercial leasing.

• Investment Banking: Equities, merger and acquisition advisory services, the activities of our fixed income division (including interest rate products, leveraged finance, high grade, structured products and nondollar products), and principal investing, which encompasses direct investments primarily in private equity and mezzanine securities, and investments in funds sponsored by select private equity and venture capital groups.

• Treasury and International Trade Finance: Treasury management products and services, domestic and international correspondent banking operations, and international trade services.

26     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

The capital markets disruption hit our Corporate and Investment Bank particularly hard, driving earnings down 68 percent to $780 million. The market disruption in the second half of 2007 resulted in valuation losses of $2.9 billion and reduced origination and distribution revenues, which were partially offset by improved principal investing results and strong advisory and underwriting fees. Key Corporate and Investment Bank trends in 2007 compared with 2006 included:

• A 14 percent increase in net interest income reflecting higher average corporate and international loans and, as a consequence of the market disruption, higher structured product warehouse balances.

• A 62 percent decrease in fee income reflecting the net market disruption-related valuation losses of $2.9 billion, net of applicable hedges, of:

• $1.4 billion in subprime residential asset-backed CDOs and other subprime-related products;

• $1.1 billion in commercial mortgage structured products;

• $205 million in consumer mortgage structured products;

• $179 million in leveraged finance, net of fees and applicable hedges; and

• $50 million in non-subprime collateralized debt obligations and other structured products.

In addition, other factors in 2007 results compared with 2006 included:

• Strong advisory and underwriting fees, with strength in merger and acquisition advisory services, high grade and equities underwriting, while leveraged loan syndications and global rate products had slight declines.

• Improved principal investing results largely reflecting a $270 million unrealized gain related to the sale of a minority interest in a portion of the direct investment portfolio. Results in 2006 included a $116 million unrealized gain related to the sale of an interest in our fund portfolio.

• Average loan growth of 17 percent driven by real estate capital markets, international trade finance, asset-based lending and large corporate lending.

• Average core deposit growth of 13 percent primarily from global money market deposits and commercial mortgage servicing.

• Provision of $117 million driven by increases largely relating to the effect of the housing market on

	commercial real estate losses, while the prior year period reflected net recoveries of $34 million.
•	A 2 percent decline in noninterest expense reflecting lower revenue-based incentive expense.

Capital Management Capital Management includes Retail Brokerage Services and Asset Management. Capital Management provides a full line of investment products and financial and retirement services including:

• Retail Brokerage Services: Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, fixed and variable annuities, reinsurance, asset management accounts, and other investment products and services.

• Asset Management: Mutual funds, customized advisory services and defined benefit and defined contribution retirement services.

Capital Management grew earnings 33 percent to $1.2 billion in 2007, reflecting strength in retail brokerage managed account fees and higher retail brokerage transaction activity, as well as the effect of the A.G. Edwards and ECM acquisitions. Growth was partially offset by the previously mentioned $57 million in valuation losses related to certain asset-backed commercial paper investments purchased in the third quarter of 2007 from Evergreen money market funds.

Other key Capital Management trends in 2007 compared with 2006 included:

• 31 percent growth in fee and other income on continued strength in managed account fees as managed account assets grew 52 percent to $203.5 billion. Commissions

Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report     27

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

grew 29 percent driven by A.G. Edwards and solid brokerage transaction activity including higher equity syndicate volumes.

• $6.6 billion in revenue from our retail brokerage businesses including transactional revenues of $2.4 billion and asset-based and other income of $4.2 billion. Retail brokerage fee income increased 32 percent driven by the addition of A.G. Edwards, strength in managed account and other asset-based fees, higher brokerage transaction activity and equity syndicate distribution fees.

• $1.1 billion in revenue from our asset management businesses, up $227 million, primarily driven by the addition of ECM. Partially offsetting growth was the $57 million market-related valuation loss as well as 25 percent higher noninterest expense, primarily due to the acquisitions, increased commissions and legal costs.

Total assets under management (AUM) of $274.7 billion at December 31, 2007, decreased 1 percent from December 31, 2006, as the addition of $29.9 billion from acquisitions, net money market fund inflows of $9.3 billion and approximately $4.5 billion in market appreciation were offset by a $34.5 billion change in investment discretion of assets under management now solely managed by Wealth, and other net outflows of $13.3 billion primarily related to the loss of one institutional client with minimal revenue impact. The change in management responsibility had no effect on AUM balances in Wealth Management. Total brokerage client assets grew 54 percent from year-end 2006 to $1.2 trillion at December 31, 2007, including $371.1 billion from A.G. Edwards.

Parent Parent includes all asset and liability management functions, including managing our securities portfolio for liquidity and interest rate risk. Parent also includes goodwill and other intangible assets, and related funding costs; certain revenues and expenses that are not allocated to the business segments; the results of wind-down or divested businesses, including the cross-border leasing activity; and our subprime mortgage servicing operation, which was divested in November 2006. Key trends in the Parent segment in 2007 compared with 2006 included:

• A decline in net interest income, largely reflecting decreases in securities and other earning assets including the sale of $13.2 billion of securities in late 2006 in connection with the Golden West merger, and growth in wholesale borrowings due to the addition of Westcorp. In addition, the contribution from hedge-related derivatives was lower.

• A $1.2 billion increase in the provision for loan losses, reflecting increased credit risk and loan growth. The Parent includes the provision for loan losses that exceeds net charge-offs in the business segments.

• A $183 million decrease in fee and other income reflecting net securities gains of $25 million, including $44 million of impairment losses related to the market disruption, compared with $79 million of net securities gains in 2006, as well as the effect of divestitures, partially offset by improved trading results.

• A 24 percent decrease in noninterest expense reflecting efficiencies, and increased costs in the business segments offset in the Parent. In addition, noninterest

expense includes legal costs, including those associated with our membership interest in Visa.

This segment reflects the impact of Prudential Financial’s 38 percent minority interest in Wachovia Securities Financial Holdings, LLC. Total minority interest expense, which also includes other subsidiaries, was $571 million in 2007 compared with $414 million in 2006.

In connection with Wachovia’s acquisition of A.G. Edwards and under the terms of Wachovia Securities’ joint venture with Prudential Financial, Inc., Prudential elected to exercise its lookback option, which permits Prudential to delay for two years following the combination of the A.G. Edwards retail brokerage business with Wachovia Securities its decision to make or not make an additional capital contribution to the joint venture or other payments to avoid or limit dilution of its 38 percent ownership interest in the joint venture as of December 31, 2007.

During the lookback period, Prudential’s share in the joint venture’s earnings and one-time costs associated with the combination will be based on Prudential’s diluted ownership level following the A.G. Edwards combination. At the end of the lookback period, Prudential may elect to make an additional capital contribution or other payment, based on the appraised value of the existing joint venture and the A.G. Edwards business as of the date of the combination with Wachovia Securities, which was January 1, 2008, to avoid or limit dilution. In this case, Prudential also would make a true-up payment of one-time costs to reflect the incremental increase in its ownership interest in the joint venture. In addition, in this case, Prudential may not then exercise its existing option to put its joint venture interests to Wachovia at its appraised value, including the A.G. Edwards business, at any time after July 1, 2008, until the first anniversary of the end of the lookback period. Alternatively, at the end of the lookback period, Prudential may put its joint venture interests to Wachovia based on the appraised value of the joint venture, excluding the A.G. Edwards business, as of the date of the combination of the A.G. Edwards business with Wachovia Securities.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Earning Assets Earning assets are assets such as securities and loans that generate interest income or dividends. The 11 percent increase in earning assets from year-end 2006 to $678.8 billion at year-end 2007 largely reflected the impact of the Golden West acquisition, organic loan growth and an increase in securities available for sale related to the market disruption. Average earning assets in 2007 were $619.8 billion, which represented a 25 percent increase from 2006.

Securities The securities portfolio, all of which is classified as available for sale, consists primarily of high quality, mortgage-and asset-backed securities, principally obligations of U.S. Government agencies and sponsored entities. We use this

portfolio primarily to manage liquidity, interest rate risk and regulatory capital, and to take advantage of market conditions that create more economically attractive returns on these investments. The increase in securities is primarily attributable to securities retained from agency securitization of consumer real estate loans. The net unrealized securities loss in 2007 increased $320 million due to spread widening, primarily on our fixed rate mortgage-backed securities.

The average duration of this portfolio was 3.4 years for 2007 and 2006. The average rate earned on securities available for sale was 5.48 percent in 2007 and 5.38 percent in 2006. The Interest Rate Risk Management section further explains our interest rate risk management practices.

We retain interests in the form of either bonds or residual interests in connection with certain securitizations primarily of residential mortgage loans, home equity lines, auto loans and student loans. Securities available for sale at December 31, 2007, included residual interests with a market value of $492 million, which included a net unrealized gain of $102 million, and retained bonds from securitizations with a market value of $11.6 billion, which included a net unrealized gain of $84 million.

Loans We have taken several steps to enhance loan growth through acquisitions and investments that we expect will strengthen our loan portfolio mix with a greater proportion of consumer loans, including offering a broader suite of mortgage loan products through our bank branch network, auto loans through our expanded dealer financial services network and direct issuance of credit cards to our customers within our banking footprint. We continue to mitigate risk and volatility on our balance sheet through prudent risk management practices, including tighter underwriting and enhanced collection efforts.

The increase in net loans from year-end 2006 reflected 22 percent growth in commercial loans, partially offset by a decline in our leasing portfolio largely related to the adoption of the new accounting standard for leveraged leases, as described in the Stockholders’ Equity section. Loan growth in 2007 also included loans to certain foreign entities that purchased assets from a Wachovia subsidiary, as well as $2.0 billion transferred to the loan portfolio

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

from loans held for sale as a result of a change in management’s strategy based on our view that the market valuations provide attractive long-term investment returns. Consumer loans grew 2 percent from year-end 2006, with loan growth in all categories offset by the securitization and sale of $13.0 billion of consumer loans, including $12.6 billion of real estate secured and $438 million in student loans, and transfers to held for sale of $2.0 billion of student loans in the second quarter of 2007 and $1.6 billion of credit card receivables in the third quarter of 2007.

30     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

Our loan portfolio is broadly diversified by industry, concentration and geography. Additionally, the portfolio is well collateralized and we periodically estimate the impact that changes in market conditions would have on our loan-to-value (LTV) positions for loans in certain portfolios.

• Commercial loans represented 44 percent and consumer loans 56 percent of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2007.

• 73 percent of the commercial loan portfolio is secured by collateral.

• 99 percent of the consumer loan portfolio is either secured by collateral or guaranteed.

Of our $227.7 billion consumer real estate loan portfolio:

• 86 percent is secured by a first lien.

• 82 percent has a loan-to-value ratio of 80 percent or less.

• 95 percent has a loan-to-value ratio of 90 percent or less.

• Less than 13 percent of the home equity and prime equity portfolios have a loan-to-value ratio greater than 90 percent.

Our managed loan portfolio grew 11 percent from year-end 2006, reflecting the growth discussed above. The managed loan portfolio includes the on-balance sheet loan portfolio; loans held for sale; loans securitized for which the retained interests are classified in securities; and the off-balance sheet portfolio of securitized loans sold where we service the loans.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming Assets Nonperforming assets increased from year-end 2006 to 1.14 percent of loans, foreclosed properties and loans held for sale driven by increases in both nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties principally reflecting significant weakness in the housing market. New inflows to consumer nonaccrual loans were $2.4 billion in 2007, up $2.3 billion from 2006, driven primarily by an increase of $2.4 billion related to our consumer real estate portfolio, which is well collateralized. Also contributing to the increase in nonperforming assets were nonaccrual loans in our commercial real estate portfolio following an extensive fourth quarter 2007 review of a substantial portion of the residential-related commercial portfolio including loans to homebuilders and developers in light of the significant deterioration in the housing market in the latter part of 2007. New inflows to commercial nonaccrual loans in 2007 were $2.0 billion, up $1.4 billion from 2006. Impaired commercial loans were $1.7 billion at December 31, 2007, up from $319 million at year-end 2006.

Past Due Loans Accruing loans 90 days or more past due, excluding loans that are classified as loans held for sale, were $708 million at December 31, 2007, compared with

$650 million at year-end 2006. Of the total past due loans, $107 million were commercial loans or commercial real estate loans and $601 million were consumer loans.

Net Charge-offs Net charge-offs, which represent the loan amounts written off as uncollectible, net of recoveries of previously charged-off amounts, were $972 million, or 0.23 percent of average net loans in 2007, an increase of 11 basis points from 2006, driven by an increase of $606 million in net charge-offs. In 2007, commercial net charge-offs were $252 million compared with $24 million in 2006. Consumer net charge-offs were $720 million, up from $342 million in 2006, driven by increased losses of $182 million in the auto portfolio and higher consumer real estate losses, including Pick-a-Payment losses of $111 million. The Pick-a-Payment total included $64 million related to an alignment in charge-off methodology to record charge-offs at 180 days past due rather than when we take possession of the property. While our outlook indicates a rise in the level of charge-offs at this point in the credit cycle, we believe the well-collateralized nature of our real estate-secured portfolio,

our careful management of credit risk and strong underwriting position us relatively well in this credit environment.

Provision for Credit Losses Provision expense was $2.3 billion in 2007 and $434 million in 2006, with the increase driven mostly by the effect of dramatic deterioration in certain housing markets as well as loan growth. Provision exceeded net charge-offs by $1.3 billion largely reflecting higher expected losses for the consumer real estate, auto and commercial portfolios. The increase in the commercial portfolio was largely driven by the extensive review of the commercial real estate portfolio mentioned above, given the accelerated downturn in the housing market and its effect on the consumer and related commercial sectors. More information on the provision for credit losses, including the impact of transfers to loans held for sale, is in Table 10: Allowance for Credit

Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Lending Commitments The allowance for credit losses increased $1.2 billion from year-end 2006 to $4.7 billion at December 31, 2007, including increased reserves for our Pick-a-Payment, commercial and auto portfolios, which reflected higher credit risk and loan growth in these portfolios. Our allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming assets decreased to 84 percent at December 31, 2007, from 246 percent at December 31, 2006. In the context of evaluating this allowance coverage ratio, it is important to note the high percentage of our portfolio that is collateralized and our low level of uncollateralized loans on which industry-wide losses are typically high, such as credit card loans.

The reserve for unfunded lending commitments was $210 million at December 31, 2007, an increase from $154 million at year-end 2006, which reflected increased credit risk and volume. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments relates to commercial lending activity.

Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale of $16.8 billion at December 31, 2007, include loans originated for sale or securitization as part of our core business strategy and the activities related to our ongoing portfolio risk management strategies to reduce exposure to areas of perceived higher risk. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, core business activity represented the majority of loans held for sale. Core business activity includes residential and commercial mortgages, auto loans and, in 2007, credit card receivables, which we originate with the intent to sell to third parties.

In 2007, we sold or securitized $58.3 billion in loans out of the loans held for sale portfolio, including $35.6 billion of commercial mortgage loans and $22.7 billion of consumer loans. In 2006, we sold or securitized $54.8 billion of loans out of the loans held for sale portfolio, including $27.0 billion of commercial loans and $27.8 billion of consumer loans, primarily residential mortgages. Substantially all of the loans sold in both periods were performing. Also, we transferred $2.0 billion of student loans to loans held for sale at the end of the second quarter of 2007 as part of portfolio management

activities and our $1.6 billion credit card portfolio early in the third quarter of 2007 as part of our core business activities. Going forward, credit card receivables will continue to be originated into held for sale. Loans held for sale also include commercial loans from a structured lending vehicle that we consolidated in the third quarter of 2007.

Goodwill In an acquisition, goodwill is recorded on the balance sheet of the acquirer and is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is generally understood to represent a going concern value of the business and other intangible factors that are expected to contribute to earnings growth. In connection with acquisitions, we record purchase accounting adjustments to reflect the respective fair values of the assets and liabilities of acquired entities, as well as certain exit costs related to these acquisitions. Purchase accounting adjustments are subject to refinement for up to one year following acquisition consummation.

Related to the October 1, 2007, A.G. Edwards acquisition, we recorded fair value and exit cost purchase accounting adjustments amounting to a net $24 million increase in goodwill. Based on a purchase price of $6.8 billion, A.G. Edwards tangible stockholders’ equity of $2.2 billion and a customer relationship intangible of $850 million ($513 million after-tax), goodwill amounted to $4.1 billion at December 31, 2007.

Related to Golden West, in 2007, we recorded final fair value and exit cost purchase accounting adjustments amounting to a net $19 million increase in goodwill. Including amounts recorded in 2006 and based on a purchase price of $24.3 billion, Golden West tangible stockholders’ equity of $9.7 billion, and other intangibles of $405 million ($246 million after-tax), goodwill amounted to $14.9 billion at December 31, 2007.

Related to Westcorp, in the first three months of 2007, we recorded final fair value and exit cost purchase accounting adjustments amounting to a net $16 million decrease in goodwill. Including amounts recorded in 2006 and based on a purchase price of $3.8 billion, Westcorp’s tangible stockholders’ equity of $1.9 billion, and dealer relationship and deposit base intangibles of $405 million ($253 million after-tax), goodwill amounted to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2007.

The rest of the increase in goodwill from December 31, 2006, related primarily to the January 31, 2007, acquisition of a majority interest in ECM.

Liquidity and Capital Adequacy

Liquidity planning and management are necessary to ensure we maintain the ability to fund operating costs effectively and to meet current and future obligations such as loan commitments and deposit outflows. Funding sources primarily include customer-based core deposits

Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report     33

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

but also include purchased funds, maturing assets and other cash flows from operations.

Wachovia is one of the nation’s largest core deposit-funded banking institutions. Our large deposit base, which stretches from Connecticut to Florida and west to Texas and California, creates considerable funding diversity and stability. In addition to core deposits, wholesale funding sources provide a broad and diverse supplemental source of funds on both a secured and unsecured basis. Typically wholesale funding can be obtained for a broader range of maturities than core deposits, which adds flexibility in liquidity planning and management.

Our senior and subordinated debt securities and commercial paper are highly rated by the major debt rating agencies, which reduces our funding costs. A table inside the back cover of this annual report shows the ratings at year-end 2007. As noted below, we remained “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes at December 31, 2007.

We manage our balance sheet in a manner we believe will provide adequate liquidity in a variety of underlying circumstances, ranging from current conditions to progressively more adverse situations. We estimate funding requirements and funding sources appropriate to each scenario and make current balance sheet adjustments if needed to maintain positive estimated liquidity in all identified circumstances. The Liquidity Risk Management section has more information.

Wachovia maintained an excess level of liquidity in order to serve customers’ needs and to be a source of liquidity to the industry during the height of the market disruption. This higher level of liquidity is reflected in increased purchased funds as described below. As a consequence, higher levels of assets on the balance sheet, particularly securities, reduced our capital ratios and negatively affected the net interest margin.

Core Deposits Core deposits, which include savings, interest-bearing checking accounts, noninterest-bearing and other consumer time deposits, and deposits held in certain brokerage sweep accounts, increased 7 percent from year-end 2006 to $397.4 billion at December 31, 2007. Compared with 2006, average core deposits in 2007 increased 23 percent to $379.3 billion, largely reflecting the full year effect of the Golden West acquisition. Average low-cost core deposits, which exclude consumer certificates of deposit, increased 6 percent to $257.6 billion. Average consumer certificates of deposit rose $56.8 billion from 2006, largely related to Golden West.

The ratio of average noninterest-bearing deposits to average core deposits was 16 percent in 2007 and 21 percent in 2006. The portion of core deposits in higher rate, other consumer time deposits was 31 percent at December 31, 2007 and

2006. Other consumer time and other noncore deposits usually pay higher rates than savings and transaction accounts, but they generally are not available for immediate withdrawal. They are also less expensive to service.

Purchased Funds Purchased funds, which include federal funds purchased, commercial paper, other short-term borrowings and foreign and other time deposits with maturities of 12 months or less, were $102.1 billion at December 31, 2007, compared with $84.8 billion at December 31, 2006. The increase in purchased funds beginning in the third quarter of 2007 reflected significantly higher liquidity levels in response to the market disruption. Average purchased funds were $88.6 billion in 2007 and $93.9 billion in 2006. Higher foreign deposits were more than offset by greater use of long-term debt for funding rather than short-term borrowings.

Long-term Debt Long-term debt was $161.0 billion at December 31, 2007, and $138.6 billion at December 31, 2006, reflecting issuances of $57.6 billion, including $2.5 billion in hybrid trust preferred securities that qualify as tier 1 capital under a trust preferred shelf registration, and $18.8 billion in Federal Home Loan Bank advances principally in the third quarter of 2007 as a source of additional liquidity. In 2008, scheduled maturities of long-term debt amount to $40.1 billion. We anticipate replacing the maturing obligations.

Wachovia and Wachovia Bank, National Association have a $45.0 billion Euro medium term note programme (EMTN), under which we may issue senior and subordinated debt securities. These securities are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and may not be offered in the United States without applicable exemptions from registration. Under the EMTN, Wachovia and Wachovia Bank issued an aggregate $1.6 billion of debt securities in 2007 and had up to $33.7 billion available for issuance at December 31, 2007.

In the second quarter of 2007, Wachovia and Wachovia Bank, National Association established an A$10.0 billion Australian medium term note programme (AMTN), under which we may issue senior and subordinated debt securities. These securities are not registered with the SEC and may not be offered in the United States without applicable exemptions from registration. Under the AMTN, Wachovia and Wachovia Bank issued an aggregate A$1.5 billion (USD $1.2 billion) of debt securities in 2007 and had up to A$8.5 billion available for issuance at December 31, 2007.

Under our current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC, at December 31, 2007, we had $4.0 billion of senior or subordinated debt securities, common stock or preferred stock available for issuance under this program. In 2007, we issued $7.7 billion of debt and $2.3 billion of preferred stock under this program. In addition, we had available for issuance up to $14.7 billion under a medium-term note program covering senior or subordinated debt securities. Wachovia Bank has a

34     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

global note program for the issuance of up to $6.3 billion of senior and subordinated notes. In 2007, we issued $14.8 billion of senior and subordinated bank notes under this program. We also have a shelf registration under which we may offer and sell hybrid trust preferred securities. At December 31, 2007, $2.5 billion was available for issuance under this shelf registration. The issuance of debt or equity securities may continue under all our programs and depends on future market conditions, funding needs and other factors.

Credit Lines Wachovia Bank has a $1.9 billion committed back-up line of credit that expires in 2010. This credit facility contains a covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum level of adjusted total equity capital. We have not used this line of credit. Wachovia Investment Holdings, LLC, a nonbank subsidiary, has $5.0 billion of committed back-up lines of credit that expire in 2011. These credit facilities have no financial covenants associated with them.

Stockholders’ Equity The management of capital in a regulated banking environment requires a balance between optimizing leverage and return on equity while maintaining sufficient capital levels and related ratios to satisfy regulatory requirements. Our goal is to generate attractive returns on equity to stockholders while maintaining sufficient regulatory capital ratios. Stockholders’ equity, which represents the total investment in the corporation by holders of common stock and certain preferred stock, increased 10 percent from year-end 2006 to $76.9 billion at year-end 2007, including repurchases of 22 million common shares at a cost of $1.2 billion in connection with our share repurchase program, and net depreciation in the fair value of the securities portfolio. At December 31, 2007, we had authorization to buy back 19 million shares of common stock. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K has additional information related to share repurchases.

In December 2007, we issued $2.3 billion of 8 percent Class A preferred stock, which increased the tier 1 and total capital ratios.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted FASB Staff Position FAS 13-2, Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction, FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140, and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 06-5 related to accounting for purchases of

life insurance. For all these new standards, the cumulative effect of adoption was recorded as an adjustment, net of applicable taxes, to January 1, 2007, retained earnings. The adoption of the new accounting for leveraged leases on January 1, 2007, resulted in a $1.4 billion after-tax reduction to beginning retained earnings. The cumulative effect of adopting the other standards was not significant. Further information is in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Subsidiary Dividends Wachovia Bank and Wachovia Mortgage, FSB (formerly World Savings Bank, FSB) are the largest sources of subsidiary dividends paid to the parent company. Capital requirements established by regulators limit dividends that these subsidiaries and certain other of our subsidiaries can pay. Under these and other limitations, which include an internal requirement to maintain all deposit-taking banks at the well capitalized level, at December 31, 2007, our subsidiaries had $14.3 billion available for dividends that could be paid without prior regulatory approval. Our subsidiaries paid $2.9 billion in dividends to the parent company in 2007.

Regulatory Capital Our capital ratios were above regulatory minimums in 2007 and we continued to be classified as well capitalized. The tier 1 capital ratio was 7.35 percent at December 31, 2007, down from 7.42 percent at December 31, 2006. Our total capital ratio was 11.82 percent and our leverage ratio was 6.09 percent at December 31, 2007, and 11.33 percent and 6.01 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2006. In 2007, we issued $2.3 billion of preferred stock and $2.5 billion of trust preferred securities, both of which contributed to tier 1 and total capital. In addition, in early February 2008, we issued $3.5 billion of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

In the normal course of business, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that under GAAP either are not recorded on the balance sheet or are in amounts that differ from the full contract or notional amounts. These transactions, included in the table on the next page, involve varying elements of market,credit and liquidity risk. Generally these transactions are forms of guarantees that contingently require us to make payments to a guaranteed party based on an event or change in an underlying asset, liability, rate or index.

Securities and Other Lending Indemnifications We indemnify clients of our securities lending business. Our clients’ securities are loaned, on a fully collateralized basis, to third party broker/dealers. We indemnify our clients against broker default and support these indemnifications with collateral that is marked to market daily. We generally require cash or other highly liquid collateral from the broker/ dealer. At December 31, 2007, there was $60.8 billion in collateral supporting the $59.2 billion loaned. There is no carrying amount associated with these indemnifications.

Standby Letters of Credit We issue standby letters of credit to customers in the normal course of our commercial lending businesses. Standby letters of credit are guarantees of performance primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financings and similar transactions. We also assist commercial, municipal, nonprofit and other customers in obtaining long-term tax-exempt funding through municipal bond issues and by providing credit enhancements in the form of standby letters of credit. Under these agreements and under certain conditions, if the bondholder requires the issuer to repurchase the bonds prior to maturity and the issuer cannot remarket the bonds, we are obligated to provide funding to the issuer to finance the repurchase of the bonds. We were not required to provide any funding to finance the repurchase of the bonds under these agreements in 2007.

Undrawn standby letters of credit amounted to $29.3 billion at December 31, 2007, and $28.3 billion at December 31, 2006. For letters of credit, we typically charge a fee equal to a percentage of the unfunded commitment. We recognized fee income on unfunded letters of credit of $277 million in 2007 and $266 million in 2006. The risk associated with standby letters of credit is incorporated in the overall assessment of our liquidity risk as described in the Liquidity Risk Management section. The Credit Risk Management section describes how we manage on- and off-balance sheet credit risk.

Liquidity Agreements We provide liquidity to our multi-seller off-balance sheet commercial paper conduit, which had $26.1 billion of total commitments at December 31, 2007, as well as to other third party facilities, which amounted to $10.8 billion. The Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements with Unconsolidated Entities section has more information.

Loans Sold with Recourse In certain loan sales or securitizations, we provide recourse to the buyer that requires us to repurchase loans at par value plus accrued interest on the occurrence of certain credit-related events within a certain period of time. In many cases, we are able to recover amounts paid from the sale of the underlying collateral. In 2007 and in 2006, we did not repurchase a significant amount of loans associated with these agreements.

Residual Value Guarantees We provide residual value guarantees as part of certain leasing transactions of corporate

assets, including railcars, office buildings and corporate aircraft. The lessors in these leases are generally large financial institutions or their leasing subsidiaries. These guarantees protect the lessor from loss on sale of the related asset at the end of the lease term. To the extent that a sale results in proceeds less than a stated percent (generally 80 percent to 89 percent) of the asset’s cost less depreciation, we would be required to reimburse the lessor under our guarantee. Residual value guarantees outstanding at December 31, 2007, included $1.1 billion representing assets under operating leases, of which $810 million related to operating leases of railcars.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements with Unconsolidated Entities

In the normal course of our business, we enter into various types of arrangements with unconsolidated entities, including special purpose entities (SPEs). SPEs are corporations, trusts or partnerships that are established for a limited purpose. Our primary involvement with SPEs relates to securitization transactions in which financial assets are transferred to an SPE and repackaged as securities or similar interests that are sold to investors. We engage in various securitization activities involving commercial and residential mortgages, consumer receivables,municipal bonds, collateralized debt obligations backed by asset-backed securities (ABS CDOs), commercial real estate collateralized debt obligations (CRE CDOs), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), and other types of structured financing. On behalf of clients, we structure, underwrite and distribute securities that are issued by SPEs. Our securitization activities may also involve transferring financial assets to an SPE. We may have various forms of ongoing involvement with SPEs, including retaining senior or subordinated notes and loans issued as one or more tranches of a securitization and entering into liquidity puts, credit default swaps and other derivative contracts with an SPE.

Retained interests in SPEs in connection with our securitization activities are included in our consolidated balance sheet and generally accounted for at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity for securities available for sale and the results of operations for trading account assets. Derivative contracts in connection with our securitization activities are recognized in our consolidated balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the results of operations. Further discussion of our securitization activities, retained interests and other involvement with SPEs is in Note 5 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in our discussion of the effect of the market disruption in the Executive Summary.

Multi-Seller Commercial Paper Conduit We provide liquidity facilities on all the commercial paper issued by the conduit we administer. The conduit is considered a VIE under the provisions of FIN 46R, and our liquidity facility is considered a variable interest. At the discretion of the administrator, the provisions of the liquidity agreements require us to purchase assets from the

conduit at par value plus interest, including in situations where the conduit is unable to issue commercial paper. Par value may be different from fair value. Any losses incurred on such purchases would be initially absorbed by the third party holder of a subordinated note in the conduit. The ability to issue commercial paper is a function of general market conditions and the credit rating of the liquidity provider. Our conduit has always been able to issue commercial paper, including during the 2007 market disruption.

The deconsolidated multi-seller commercial paper conduit had $15.1 billion of outstanding liquidity commitments, and we had a maximum exposure to losses of $26.1 billion, including unfunded commitments at December 31, 2007. The weighted average life of the conduit’s assets was 2.1 years and of the commercial paper, 30 days at December 31, 2007. The conduit’s assets had a single “A” equivalent weighted average credit rating, based on internal rating criteria, at December 31, 2007.

We purchased $656 million of residential subprime mortgage assets from the conduit pursuant to our obligations under the liquidity facility, all of which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2007. The difference between our purchase price and the estimated fair value of the assets of $566 thousand was absorbed by the third party holder of the subordinated note, reducing the note to $11 million.

At least quarterly, we determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of the conduit based on our expectation of the variability associated with our liquidity facility, or more often if circumstances dictate. We are not the primary beneficiary of the conduit. If we were required to consolidate the conduit, it would not have a material effect on our leverage ratio or tier 1 capital.

Structured Lending Vehicle On September 30, 2007, as a result of the market disruption, we consolidated the structured lending vehicle we administered, adding $4.9 billion of assets to our consolidated balance sheet. The structured lending vehicle was considered a VIE under the provisions of FIN 46R. We consolidated the structured lending vehicle because our expectation of the variability associated with

our variable interests changed, primarily due to a decline in the fair value of the entity’s assets.

Other Liquidity Arrangements Certain CDO, fixed rate municipal bond, consumer and commercial mortgage-backed securitization transactions have been funded with the issuance of money market and other short-term notes. We have entered into liquidity put arrangements with these unconsolidated entities that obligate us to provide liquidity to these entities in the event the entities cannot obtain funding in the market. In the event that the money market or short-term notes issued by the unconsolidated entities cannot be remarketed, we could be required to purchase such notes at their then-outstanding principal amount. In addition, we also provide liquidity to certain third party commercial paper conduits. The total notional amount of such commitments at December 31, 2007, was $10.8 billion. In 2007, in connection with these agreements, we purchased $1.6 billion of assets on which we recorded a net loss of $42 million, which is included in our market disruption-related losses. Further information on our commitments is in
Note 20 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Written Put Options We also have $11.5 billion notional amount of written put options outstanding. In 2007, in connection with these arrangements, we purchased $798 million of assets on which we recorded a net loss of $87 million, which is included in our market disruption-related losses.

Other Transactions In the third quarter of 2007, we purchased and placed in our securities available for sale portfolio $1.1 billion of asset-backed commercial paper from Evergreen money market funds, which we manage. We recorded a $57 million valuation loss in the third and fourth quarters on this purchase, which is included in our market disruption-related losses. We were not required by contract to purchase these or any other assets from the Evergreen funds we manage.

Risk Governance and Administration

Overview Our business exposes us to several risk types including strategic business risks as well as credit, market, liquidity, operational, compliance, reputation, litigation and other risks. Our corporate risk governance structure enables us to weigh risk and return to produce sustainable revenue, reduce earnings volatility and increase shareholder value. We devote significant emphasis and resources to continuous refinement of processes and tools that aid us in proactive identification and management of material operational risks, including a rigorous self-assessment process. We believe proactive management of risk is a competitive advantage due to lower earnings volatility, greater customer satisfaction and enhanced reputation.

Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report     37

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Board of Director Committees and Management Operating Committee Our risk governance structure begins with our board of directors, which evaluates risk and oversees the management of risk through its Risk Committee and its Audit Committee.

The board of directors has approved management accountabilities and supporting committee structures, headed by management’s senior risk committee, to effect risk governance. Our chief executive officer is responsible for the overall risk governance structure. Our chief risk officer reports directly to our chief executive officer and is responsible for independent evaluation and oversight of our credit, market and operational risk-taking activities and our risk governance processes.

We oversee strategic business risk and our general business affairs through the Operating Committee. This committee meets monthly and is composed of the senior management of the company, including all executives who report directly to the chief executive officer.

Four Components of Risk Governance Our risk management strategy is aligned around four components of risk governance: our business units; our independent risk management function joined by other corporate staff functions including legal, finance, human resources and technology; internal audit; and risk committees.

Our business units are responsible for identifying, acknowledging, quantifying, mitigating and managing all risks. Business unit management determines and executes our strategies, which puts them closest to the changing nature of risks, and makes them best able to take action to manage and mitigate those risks. Our management processes, structure and policies help us to comply with laws and regulations, and provide clear lines of sight for decision-making, accountability and reporting.

Our risk management organization provides objective oversight of our risk-taking activities and translates our overall risk appetite into approved limits. Risk management works with the business units and functional areas to establish appropriate standards and also monitors business practices in relation to those standards. Risk management proactively works with the businesses and senior management to ensure we have continuous focus on key risks in our businesses and emerging trends that may change our risk profile.

Our internal audit division, which reports directly to the Audit Committee of the board of directors, provides an objective assessment of the design and execution of our internal control system including our management systems, risk governance, and policies and procedures. Internal audit activities are designed to provide reasonable assurance that resources are safeguarded; that significant financial, mana-

gerial and operating information is complete, accurate and reliable; and that employee actions comply with our policies and applicable laws and regulations.

Our risk committees provide a mechanism to bring together the many perspectives of our management team to discuss emerging risk issues, monitor risk-taking activities and evaluate specific transactions and exposures. All management risk committees report to the senior risk committee, which is chaired by the chief executive officer and composed of certain members of the Operating Committee. The senior risk committee is charged with monitoring the direction and trend of risks relative to business strategies set by the Operating Committee and relative to market conditions and other external factors. It reviews identified emerging risks and directs action to appropriately mitigate those risks. This committee also ensures that responsibilities and accountabilities for risk management and corrective action on control matters are properly delegated to appropriate individuals and implemented on a timely basis. The senior risk committee directly oversees the activities of these five key management committees: credit risk, market risk, operational risk, asset and liability, and conflicts of interest.

Credit Risk Management Credit risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in an issuer’s, borrower’s or counterparty’s ability to meet its financial obligations under agreed upon terms. The nature and amount of credit risk depends on the type of transaction, the structure of that transaction and the parties involved. While we are subject to some credit risk in our trading, investing, liquidity, funding and asset management activities, it is typically only incidental in these businesses. Credit risk is central to the profit strategy in lending and other financing activities, and as a result, the majority of our credit risk is associated with these activities.

Credit risk is managed through a combination of policies and procedures and authorities that are tracked and regularly updated in a centralized database. The board of directors grants credit authority to the chief executive officer, who in turn has delegated that authority to the chief risk officer. Credit authorities are further delegated through the independent risk management organization. Most authority to approve credit exposure is granted to officers in the risk management organization who are experienced in the industries and loan structures over which they have responsibility, and are independent of the officers who are responsible for generating new business.

There are two processes for approving credit risk exposures. The first process involves standard approval structures (such as rapid decision scorecards) for use in retail, certain small business lending and most trading activities. The second process involves individual approval of commercial exposures based, among other factors, on the financial strength of the borrower, assessment of the

38     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

borrower’s management, industry sector trends, the type of exposure, the transaction structure and the general economic outlook.

Credit risk review is an independent unit that performs risk process reviews and evaluates a representative sample of individual credit extensions. Credit risk review has the authority to change internal risk ratings and has the responsibility to assess the adequacy of credit underwriting and servicing practices. This unit reports directly to the chief risk officer and to the Risk Committee of the board of directors.

Commercial Credit All commercial exposures, both in the form of loans and commitments to lend, are assigned internal risk ratings that reflect the probability of borrower default on any obligation and the probable loss in the event of a default. Commercial credit extensions are also evaluated using a RAROC model that considers pricing, internal risk ratings, loan structure and tenor, among other variables. This produces a risk and return analysis, enabling the efficient use of economic capital attributable to credit risk.

The credit risk committee approves policy guidelines that limit the maximum level of credit exposure to individual commercial borrowers or a related group of borrowers. These guidelines are based on the internal ratings associated with the credit facilities extended to each borrower as well as on the economic capital associated with them. Concentration risk is also managed through geographic and industry diversification and loan quality factors. The credit risk committee approves industry concentration and country exposure limits.

Borrower exposures may be designated as “watch list” accounts when warranted as a result of either environmental factors or individual company performance. Such accounts are subjected to additional review by the business line management, risk management and credit risk review staffs, and our chief risk officer in order to adequately assess the borrower’s credit status and to take appropriate action. We have also established special teams composed of highly skilled and experienced lenders to manage problem credits and to handle commercial recoveries, workouts and problem loan sales.

Commercial credit checks and balances, the independence of risk management functions and specialized processes are all designed to avoid credit problems where possible, and to recognize and address problems early when they do occur.

Retail Credit In retail lending, we manage credit risk primarily from a portfolio view. The risk management division, working with the lines of business, determines the appropriate risk and return profile for each portfolio, using a variety of tools including quantitative models and scorecards tailored to meet our specific needs.

By incorporating these models and policies into computer programs or “decisioning engines,” much of the underwriting is automated. Once a line of credit or other retail loan is extended, it is continuously monitored for changes in delinquency trends and other asset quality indicators. Delinquency action on individual credits is taken monthly or as needed if collection efforts are required.

Market Risk Management Market risk represents the risk of declines in value that on- and off-balance sheet positions could realize depending on a variety of market movements, such as changes in interest rates, equity prices and foreign exchange rates. We trade a variety of equities, debt securities, foreign exchange instruments and other derivatives to provide customized solutions for the risk management needs of our customers and for proprietary trading. Market risk is inherent in all these activities.

Market risk management activities are overseen by an independent market risk group, which reports outside the business units to the risk management group. Risk measures include the use of value-at-risk (VaR) methodology with limits approved by the market risk committee and subsequently by the Risk Committee of the board of directors. The market risk committee also approves a variety of other trading limits designed to match trading activities to our appetite for risk and to our strategic objectives.

The VaR methodology assesses market volatility over the most recent 252 trading days to estimate within a given level of confidence the maximum trading loss over a period of time that we would expect to incur from an adverse movement in market rates and prices over the period. We calculate 1-day VaR at the 97.5 percent and 99 percent confidence levels, and 10-day VaR at the 99 percent confidence level. The VaR model is supplemented by stress testing on a daily basis. The analysis captures all financial instruments that are considered trading positions. Our 1-day VaR limit in the first seven months of 2007 was $30 million. In August 2007, the market risk committee approved an increase in this limit to $50 million to accommodate foreign expansion, the impact of increasing spread volatility and a pricing methodology change in our municipal bond program. The total 1-day VaR was $62 million at December 31, 2007, and $30 million at December 29, 2006, and was primarily related to interest rate risk and credit spread risk. The high, low and average VaRs in 2007 were $63 million, $17 million and $31 million, respectively. We exceeded the VaR limit on 27 days in 2007. Each instance in which the VaR limit was exceeded was approved either by our chief risk officer or by our market risk committee, which includes our chief risk officer and chief financial officer. Most instances in which the limit was exceeded were caused by the consolidation of a structured lending vehicle on September 30, 2007. The other drivers for the increase in VaR were a pricing methodology change in the municipal bond portfolio; higher theoretical profit and loss

Operational Risk Management Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. This risk is inherent in all our businesses. Operational risk is divided into the following functional risk areas: vendor, compliance, technology, financial, fiduciary, human capital, business continuity planning, legal, change and implementation risk, and internal and external fraud.

Operational risk is managed through an enterprise-wide framework for organizational structure, processes and technologies. This framework is maintained by an independent operational risk team that reports to the risk management group. This team is composed of a corporate operational risk group and operational risk leaders aligned with our business units and support functions. In addition to our self-assessment process, we also focus on training, education and development of a risk management culture that reinforces the message that all employees are responsible for the management of operational risk.

One component of operational risk is compliance risk. Compliance risk is managed by our compliance group, which works within the business lines but reports centrally to the risk management group under the leadership of our chief compliance officer, who reports to our chief risk officer. This structure allows compliance risk management to consult with the business units as policies and procedures are developed, and it enables close monitoring of daily activities. As part of our compliance program, we devote significant resources to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, and to safeguard our customers’ data.

Managing merger risk and change in general is another key component of operational risk. We use a well-documented, disciplined process to manage the inherent risk of change (for example, merger integrations, outsourcing and new product developments) and to assess organizational readiness. The organizational readiness assessment process provides readiness and risk information related to staffing, training, customer communication, compliance, vendors, corporate real estate, technology infrastructure, application systems, operational support and reconcilement. We pay close attention to the overall organizational capacity and interdependencies, and to our ability to execute.

We also focus on managing other key operational risks such as business continuity, reliance on vendors, and privacy and information security. These risks are not unique to our institution and are inherent in the financial services industry. We link business performance measurements to operational risk through risk profiles, quality of the internal controls and capital allocation.

Liquidity Risk Management Liquidity risk involves the risk of being unable to fund assets with the appropriate duration and rate-based liabilities, as well as the risk of not being able to meet unexpected cash needs. In our liquidity management process, we focus on both assets and liabilities and on the manner in which they combine to provide adequate liquidity to meet our needs.

The Liquidity Risk Management table on the next page focuses only on future obligations. In this table, all deposits with indeterminate maturities, such as demand deposits,

checking accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts, are presented as having a maturity of one year or less.

Funding sources primarily include customer-based core deposits, purchased funds, collateralized borrowings, cash flows from operations, and asset securitizations and sales. Cash flows from operations are a significant component of liquidity risk management and consider both deposit and debt maturities and the scheduled cash flows from loan and investment maturities and payments, along with dividend payments.

We purchase funds on an unsecured basis in the federal funds, commercial paper, bank note, national certificate of deposit and long-term debt markets. In addition, we routinely use securities in our trading and available for sale portfolios as collateral for secured borrowings. In the event of severe market disruptions, as occurred in the second half of 2007, we have access to secured borrowings through the Federal Reserve Bank. Wachovia has continued to be a net provider of liquidity to the industry during the market disruption. Our ability to access unsecured funding markets and the cost of funds acquired in these markets are primarily dependent on our credit rating, which is currently P-1/A-1+/F1+ for short-term paper and Aa3/AA-/AA- for senior debt (Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, respectively). Our goal is to maintain a long-term AA credit rating. We believe a long-term credit rating of AA will provide us with many benefits, including access to additional funding sources at lower rates (assuming a static interest rate environment). Conversely, a downgrade from our current long-term debt ratings would have an adverse impact, including higher costs of funds, access to fewer funding sources and possibly triggering liquidity agreements. Providing funding under liquidity agreements could result in our forgoing more profitable lending and investing opportunities as well as dividend payments because of funding constraints.

Asset securitizations provide an alternative source of funding. We do not rely heavily on the securitization markets as a source of funds but instead we use securitizations to diversify risk and manage regulatory capital levels. Widening of the credit spreads in the securitization market, as has occurred in the market disruption, may make accessing these markets undesirable. If securitizations become undesirable, we may discontinue certain lending activities and/or increase our reliance on alternative funding sources.

The asset and liability committee is responsible for liquidity risk management. This committee approves liquidity limits and receives thorough periodic reports on our liquidity position. Liquidity reports detail compliance with limits and with guidelines. They include a review of forecasted liquidity needs based on scheduled and discretionary asset and liability maturities. They evaluate the adequacy of funding sources to meet these needs. In addition, stress tests are evaluated to determine required levels of funding in an adverse environment as was the case during the second half of 2007. These stress tests include reduced access to traditional funding sources in addition to unexpected draw-downs of contingent liquidity exposures.

Throughout 2007, Wachovia maintained an excess level of liquidity in order to serve customers’ needs and to be a source of liquidity to the industry during the market disruption. As a consequence, higher levels of assets on the balance sheet, particularly securities, reduced our capital ratios and negatively affected net interest income and the net interest margin.

Derivatives We use derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate risk, to generate profits from proprietary trading and to assist our customers with their risk management objectives. All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses included either in the results of operations or in other comprehensive income, depending on the nature, purpose and designation of the derivative transaction. Derivative transactions are often measured in terms of notional amount, but this amount is not recorded on the balance sheet and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the instruments. The notional amount is not usually exchanged, but is used only as the basis on which interest or other payments are calculated.

For interest rate risk management, we use derivatives as a cost- and capital-efficient way to hedge on-balance sheet assets, liabilities and future financial transactions. Derivatives used for interest rate risk management include various interest rate swap, futures, forward and option structures with indices that relate to the pricing of specific on-balance sheet instruments. Trading and customer derivatives include a wide array of interest rate, commodity, foreign currency, credit and equity derivatives.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

We measure credit exposure on our derivative contracts by considering both the current market value of each contract in a gain position, which is reported on the balance sheet, and a prudent estimate of potential change in value over each contract’s life. The measurement of the potential future exposure for each derivative is based on a simulation of market rates and generally takes into account legally enforceable risk mitigating agreements for each obligor such as netting and collateral. We manage the credit risk of these instruments in much the same way we manage credit risk of our loan portfolios, by establishing credit limits for each counterparty and by requiring collateral agreements for dealer transactions.

For nondealer transactions, the need for collateral is evaluated on an individual transaction basis and is primarily dependent on the financial strength of the counterparty. Credit risk is also reduced significantly by entering into legally enforceable master netting agreements. When we have more than one transaction with a counterparty and there is a legally enforceable master netting agreement in place, the exposure represents the net of the gain and loss positions with that counterparty. The Credit Risk Management section has more information on the management of credit risk.

The market risk associated with interest rate risk management derivatives is fully incorporated into our earnings simulation model in the same manner as financial instruments for which the interest-bearing balance is reflected on the balance sheet. The Interest Rate Risk Management section describes the way in which we manage this risk. The market risk associated with trading and customer derivative positions is managed using VaR methodology, as described in the
Market Risk Management section.

More information on our derivatives used for interest rate risk management is included in applicable Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Rate Risk Management One of the fundamental roles in banking is the management of interest rate risk, or the risk that changes in interest rates may diminish the net interest income we earn on loans, securities and other earning assets. The following discussion explains how we oversee the interest rate risk management process and describes the actions we take to protect earnings from interest rate risk.

A balance sheet is considered asset sensitive when its assets (loans and securities) reprice faster or to a greater extent than liabilities (deposits and borrowings). An asset-sensitive balance sheet will produce more net interest income when interest rates rise and less net interest income when interest rates decline. Historically, our large and relatively rate-insensitive deposit base has funded a portfolio of primarily floating rate commercial and consumer loans. This mix naturally creates an asset-sensitive

Market Rate Scenarios

balance sheet. To achieve more neutrality or to establish a liability-sensitive position, we maintain a large portfolio of fixed rate discretionary instruments such as loans, securities and derivatives.

We expect to rely on our large base of low-cost core deposits as well as diverse wholesale sources to fund incremental investments in loans and securities. The characteristics of the loans we add will prompt different strategies. Fixed rate loans, for example, diminish the need to buy discretionary investments, so if more fixed rate loans were added to our loan portfolio, we would likely allow existing discretionary investments to mature or we would liquidate them. If more variable rate loans were added to our loan portfolio, we would likely allow fixed rate securities to mature or we would liquidate them, and then add new derivatives that, in effect, would convert the incremental variable rate loans to fixed rate loans. For example, floating rate Pick-a-Payment loans, despite being a monthly floating rate product, reprice on an index that generally lags changes in short-term rates. A portion of these loans is funded with short-term floating rate notes, which together create a profile that is liability-sensitive as measured under our earnings sensitivity analysis. Therefore, when this portfolio was added, we reduced the size of our fixed rate exposure in residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities to help achieve the desired interest rate risk profile.

We often elect to use derivatives to protect assets, liabilities and future financial transactions from changes in interest rates. When deciding whether to use derivatives instead of investing in securities to reach the same goal, we consider a number of factors, such as cost, efficiency, the effect on our liquidity and capital, and our overall interest rate risk management strategy. We choose to use derivatives when they provide greater relative value or more efficient execution of our strategy than securities. The derivatives we use for interest rate risk management include interest rate swaps, futures, forwards and various option strategies, which in some cases are designated and accounted for as accounting hedges. We fully incorporate the market risk associated with interest rate risk management derivatives into our earnings simulation model in the same manner as other on-balance sheet financial instruments.

42     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

We analyze and manage the amount of risk we are taking to changes in interest rates by forecasting a wide range of interest rate scenarios for time periods as long as 36 months. In analyzing interest rate sensitivity for policy measurement, we compare forecasted earnings per share in both “high rate” and “low rate” scenarios to the “market forward rate.” Our policy measurement period is 12 months in length, beginning with the first month of the forecast. Our objective is to ensure we prudently manage interest-bearing assets and liabilities in ways that improve financial performance without unduly putting earnings at risk. Our policy is to limit the risk we can take through balance sheet management actions to 5 percent of earnings per share in both falling and rising rate environments.

The “market forward rate” is constructed using currently implied market forward rate estimates for all points on the yield curve over the next 36 months. Our standard approach evaluates expected earnings in a 400 basis point range, or 200 basis points both above and below the “market forward rate” scenario. Based on our January 2008 forward rate expectation, our various scenarios together measure earnings volatility to a December 2008 federal funds rate ranging from 0.40 percent to 4.40 percent. We always incorporate into our modeling all repricing and balance sheet dynamics that depend on interest rate levels. For example, in the current market outlook and low rate scenario referenced above, we particularly stress the repricing characteristics of our deposit portfolio. We expect deposit repricing downward to be slowed in very low rate level environments. We have taken actions to mitigate this risk.

We simultaneously measure the impact of a parallel and nonparallel shift in rates on each of our interest rate scenarios. A parallel shift would, as the term implies, shift all points on the yield curve by the same increments. For example, by the twelfth month in our policy measurement period, short-term rates such as the federal funds rate would increase by 200 basis points over the “market forward rate,” while longer term rates such as the 10-year treasury note rate and 30-year treasury note rate would increase by 200 basis points as well. A nonparallel shift would consist of a 200 basis point increase in short-term rates, while long-term rates would increase by a different amount. A rate shift in which short-term rates rise to a greater degree than long-term rates is referred to as a “flattening” of the yield curve. Conversely, long-term rates rising to a greater degree than short-term rates is a “steepening” of the yield curve.

The impact of a nonparallel shift in rates depends on the types of assets in which funds are invested and the shape of the yield curve implicit in the “market forward rate” scenario.

Earnings Sensitivity The Policy Period Sensitivity Measurement table provides a summary of our interest rate sensitivity measurements.

Policy Period Sensitivity Measurement

	Actual			Implied
	Fed Funds			Fed Funds
	Rate at			Rate at		Percent

(In percent)	2008			2008		Sensitivity

High Rate Composite					4.40		(3.9	)
Low Rate					0.40		3.5

^(a) Assumes base federal funds rate mirrors market expectations.

The January 2008 forward rate expectations imply a high probability that the federal funds rate will decline an additional 150 basis points by the end of our policy period in December 2008. If this occurs, the spread between the 10-year treasury note rate and the target federal funds rate would migrate from a negative 22 basis points of slope as of December 31, 2007, to a positive slope of 143 basis points by December 2008. The long-term average spread is a positive 113 basis points. Because it is unlikely short-term rates would rise an additional 200 basis points above the market forward rates while all other points on the yield curve would move in simultaneous parallel increments, our high rate sensitivity to the “market forward rate” scenario is measured using three different yield curve shapes. These yield curves are constructed to represent the more likely range of yield curve shapes that may prevail throughout the policy period in an environment where short-term rates rise 200 basis points above current market expectations. The reported high rate sensitivity is a composite of these three scenarios.

In January 2008, our earnings simulation model indicated earnings would be negatively affected by 3.9 percent in a “high rate composite” scenario relative to the “market forward rate” over the policy period. Additionally, we measure a scenario where short-term rates gradually decline 200 basis points over a 12-month period while the longer-term rates decline by less than 200 basis points relative to the “market forward rate” scenario. The model indicates earnings would be positively affected by 3.5 percent in this scenario. These percentages are for a full year, but may be higher or lower in individual reporting periods.

While our interest rate sensitivity modeling assumes management takes no action, we regularly assess the viability of strategies to reduce unacceptable risks to earnings and we implement such strategies when we believe those actions are prudent. As new monthly outlooks become available, we formulate strategies aimed at protecting earnings from the potentially negative effects of changes in interest rates.

Financial Disclosure We have always maintained internal controls over financial reporting, which generally include those controls relating to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As a bank holding company, we are subject to the internal control reporting and attestation requirements of the Federal

Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report     43

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, and therefore, we are very familiar with the process of maintaining and evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting. We also are focused on our disclosure controls and procedures, which as defined by the SEC are generally those controls and procedures designed to ensure that financial and nonfinancial information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC is reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our disclosure committee, which includes senior representatives from our treasury, risk, legal, accounting and investor relations departments, and our human resources department with regard to disclosures about executive compensation, as well senior representatives from our four core business segments, assists senior management in its oversight of the accuracy and timeliness of our disclosures, as well as in implementing and evaluating our overall disclosure process. As part of our disclosure process, accounting representatives in our finance division and representatives from our four core business segments prepare and review monthly, quarterly and annual financial reports, which also are reviewed by each of the business segment’s chief financial officers and senior management. Accounting representatives in our finance division also conduct further reviews with our senior management team, other appropriate personnel involved in the disclosure process, including the disclosure committee and internal audit division, and our independent auditors and counsel, as appropriate. Financial results and other financial information also are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the board of directors on at least a quarterly basis.

In addition, accounting representatives in our finance division meet with representatives of our primary federal banking regulators on a quarterly basis to review, among other things, income statement and balance sheet trends, any significant or unusual transactions, changes in or implementation of significant accounting policies, and other significant nonfinancial data, as identified by our representatives. The chief executive officer and the chief financial officer also meet with the federal banking regulators on a semiannual basis.

As required by applicable regulatory law, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer review and make various certifications regarding the accuracy of our periodic public reports filed with the SEC, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting. Assisted by the disclosure committee, we will continue to assess and monitor our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal controls over financial reporting, and we will make refinements as necessary.

Accounting and Regulatory Matters

The following information addresses significant new accounting and regulatory developments that will affect us, as well as new or proposed legislation that will continue to have a significant impact on our industry.

Fair Value In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and provides new income recognition criteria for certain derivative contracts. SFAS 157 does not establish any new fair value measurements; rather it defines “fair value” for other accounting standards that require the use of fair value for recognition or disclosure. The term “fair value” in SFAS 157 is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market, or if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability (referred to as exit price). In February 2008, the FASB issued a final FSP stating that SFAS 157 does not apply to fair value measurements for purposes of lease classification or measurement under SFAS 13, Accounting for Leases. The scope exception does not encompass lease-related fair value measurements in business combinations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits companies to elect to carry certain financial instruments at fair value with corresponding changes in fair value reported in the results of operations. The election to carry an instrument at fair value is made at the individual contract level; can be made only upon initial adoption of SFAS 159, at origination or inception of an instrument, or upon the occurrence of an event that results in a new basis of accounting; and is irrevocable.

Both SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 are effective on January 1, 2008, and early adoption was permitted on January 1, 2007. We adopted these standards on January 1, 2008. The effect of adopting SFAS 157 either will be recorded directly to first quarter 2008 results of operations or recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle through an adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2008, depending on the nature of the financial instrument to which the new fair value measurement is applied. The effect of adopting SFAS 159 was recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle through an adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2008.

Adopting SFAS 157 will result in gains in the first quarter 2008 results of operations of $250 million to $350 million pre-tax related primarily to a change in the methodology used to calculate the fair value of certain investments in private equity funds held in a wholly owned investment company subsidiary. Also in connection with adopting SFAS 157, we recorded gains of $37 million after-tax

44     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

($61 million pre-tax) as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning 2008 retained earnings, related to removal of blockage discounts previously applied in determining the fair value of certain actively traded public equity investments and to profits previously deferred on certain derivative transactions.

In connection with adopting SFAS 159, we elected to record certain existing securities available for sale and loans held for sale at fair value as defined by SFAS 157, and recorded a $39 million after-tax ($62 million pre-tax) charge as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning 2008 retained earnings representing the difference between the fair value, as defined in SFAS 157, and carrying value of those instruments at January 1, 2008. Prospectively, we plan to elect the fair value method for certain newly originated loans, certain purchased securities and certain debt issuances. On an ongoing basis, unrealized gains and losses on the instruments for which we made a fair value election at January 1, 2008, and on those for which we elect fair value in the future will be reported in our results of operations.

Life Insurance On January 1, 2008, we adopted two Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issues addressing the accounting for split-dollar life insurance policies that are held on certain current and former employees. The effect of adopting these standards, which was not significant, was recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning 2008 retained earnings. Adopting these EITF issues will not have a significant effect on our ongoing results of operations.

Investment Company Accounting In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 07-1, Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide “Investment Companies” and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies. This new standard provides guidance for determining whether an entity is an “investment company,” as defined, and whether the specialized industry accounting principles for investment companies are retained in the consolidated financial statements of the parent or of an equity method investor.

SOP 07-1 was effective on January 1, 2008; however, in February 2008, the FASB issued an FSP that delays the effective date indefinitely. We continue to assess the effect of adoption of the SOP on our financial position and our results of operations.

Business Combinations and Noncontrolling Interests In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), and SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB 51. These new standards will significantly change the accounting and reporting for business combinations and noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests).

SFAS 141(R) retains the fair value model for assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination while making other significant changes to business combination accounting. The more significant changes include: recognizing 100 percent of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions of less than a 100 percent controlling interest, measuring shares issued as consideration in a business combination based on their fair value at the acquisition date, recognizing contingent consideration arrangements and preacquisition gain and loss contingencies at their respective acquisition date fair values, expensing acquisition-related transaction costs as incurred, and capitalizing acquisition-related restructuring costs only if certain criteria are met.

SFAS 160 retains much of the existing guidance for consolidation while making significant changes to the reporting of noncontrolling interests, which we currently report in liabilities. Under SFAS 160, noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries will be reported as a component of stockholders’ equity. Also under SFAS 160, a change in ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary that does not result in loss of control will be recorded directly to stockholders’ equity. A change in ownership interest that results in deconsolidation may trigger recognition of a gain or loss and establishment of a new fair value basis in the remaining interest held.

These standards are effective on January 1, 2009, for calendar year-end companies, with early adoption prohibited. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the adoption date. SFAS 160 must be adopted prospectively with retrospective adoption required for disclosure of noncontrolling interests held as of the adoption date.

Transfers of Financial Assets The FASB has an ongoing project addressing the accounting for the transfer of financial instruments and retention of an interest in such financial instruments, which may result in significant changes to SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.
Currently, the FASB is considering the possibility of a new accounting model for derecognition of financial assets, which may include a linked presentation for transfers of financial assets that meet certain criteria.

The FASB currently plans to issue an exposure draft of an amendment to SFAS 140 in the second quarter of 2008. We cannot at this time predict with any degree of certainty whether any guidance will be issued, what changes may be required to the structure of or the accounting for transactions subject to SFAS 140 or what the transition provisions for implementation of any new guidance would be.

Regulatory Matters Various legislative and regulatory proposals concerning the financial services industry are

Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report     45

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

pending in Congress, the legislatures in states in which we conduct operations and before various regulatory agencies that supervise our operations. Given the uncertainty of the legislative and regulatory process, we cannot assess the effect of any such legislation or regulations on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. For a more detailed description of the laws and regulations governing our business operations, please see our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In June 2004, the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision published new international guidelines for determining regulatory capital (Basel II) that are designed to be more risk sensitive than the current framework. In December 2007, the U.S. regulatory agencies jointly adopted a final rule for Basel II that represents the U.S. version of the international guidelines. Under the final rule, which is effective April 1, 2008, we must adopt a board of director-approved implementation plan by October 1, 2008, and begin a three-year transitional period for capital calculation no later than April 1, 2011. The final rule also requires that prior to beginning the three-year transitional period, we complete a satisfactory parallel run period of no less than four consecutive calendar quarters during which we will be required to confidentially report regulatory capital under both the new risk-based capital rule and the existing capital rule. The final rule allows banks to enter a parallel run starting in April 2008, and the first possible years for the transitional periods are 2009 through 2011. We have established necessary project management infrastructure, funding and management support to ensure we will comply with the new regulations.

Earnings Analysis for Fourth Quarter 2007

In the fourth quarter of 2007 compared with the fourth quarter of 2006, net income was $51 million compared with $2.30 billion, and diluted earnings per common share were 3 cents compared with $1.20. Fourth quarter 2007 results were a loss of $234 million before a $285 million income tax benefit primarily reflecting a reduction in the full year tax rate given the lower level of earnings. These amounts include after-tax net merger-related and restructuring expenses of $109 million, or 5 cents per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $29 million, or 1 cent per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2006. The biggest drivers of the year-over-year decline were $1.7 billion of market disruption-related losses as well as a higher provision for credit losses, which exceeded net charge-offs by $1.0 billion. Results in the fourth quarter of 2006 included a gain of $46 million after-tax, or 2 cents per share, relating to the divestiture of our Corporate and Institutional Trust businesses.

Total revenue declined 17 percent to $7.2 billion, with 1 percent growth in tax-equivalent net interest income to $4.7 billion and a decline of 37 percent in fee and other income to $2.5 billion due to the market disruption.

Somewhat offsetting the decline in fee and other income related to the market disruption was continued strong performance in retail brokerage managed account fees and solid retail brokerage transaction activity, largely reflecting the A.G. Edwards acquisition. Noninterest expense rose 17 percent to $5.8 billion, primarily from the A.G. Edwards and ECM acquisitions, as well as our growth initiatives. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 15 percent largely as a result of the acquisitions.

In the General Bank, segment earnings were $1.2 billion, down $271 million from the same period a year ago, with revenue down $33 million to $4.4 billion. The business mix continued to shift, reflecting customer preference for fixed rate instead of variable rate loans and certificates of deposit over demand deposits. A 6 percent increase in average loans reflected organic growth led by wholesale and small business and 4 percent growth in consumer loans. Deposit growth was led by consumer certificates of deposit and money market funds. Modest growth in fee and other income included 18 percent growth in consumer service charges and 24 percent growth in interchange income. Noninterest expense growth of 11 percent reflected higher sales and severance costs related to organizational realignment, and higher investment in growth initiatives. Increased provision expense largely reflected higher losses due to significant deterioration in consumer real estate, as well as losses in auto and commercial loans, partially offset by a decline in commercial real estate losses.

Wealth Management earnings were essentially flat compared with the fourth quarter a year ago. Revenue growth of 5 percent was driven by strong fiduciary and asset management fees related to a pricing initiative implemented in the third quarter of 2007, partially offset by a decline in insurance commissions. Average loans grew 10 percent, offsetting spread compression, and average core deposits declined 3 percent. Noninterest expense rose on modest growth in salaries and benefits expense including higher nonmerger severance costs.

In the Corporate and Investment Bank, the segment loss of $596 million compared with segment earnings of $670 million in the year ago period, with the decline driven by $1.6 billion in net valuation losses and reduced origination volume in most markets-related businesses reflecting continued disruption in the fixed income markets. The market disruption losses, net of applicable hedges, included:

• $1.0 billion in subprime residential asset-backed collateralized debt obligations and other subprime-related products.

• $600 million in commercial mortgage structured products.

• $123 million in consumer mortgage structured products.

46     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

• $93 million gain in leveraged finance, net of fees and applicable hedges.

• $59 million gain in non-subprime collateralized debt obligations and other structured products.

Net interest income rose 27 percent, which reflected 26 percent growth in average loans including organic growth and the changing market conditions. Lower noninterest expense primarily reflected lower incentive compensation.

In Capital Management, segment earnings were $350 million, up 42 percent from the same period a year ago reflecting strength in retail brokerage managed account fees as well as the acquisitions of A.G. Edwards and ECM. Sixty percent growth in noninterest expense was primarily due to the acquisitions, as well as higher commissions and legal costs. The fourth quarter 2007 results also included a $17 million market disruption-related valuation loss on certain asset-backed commercial paper investments purchased in the third quarter of 2007 from Evergreen money market funds.

Parent results were a segment loss of $918 million compared with a loss of $227 million in the same period a year ago. The increased loss was the result of lower net interest income due to spread compression and an increased provision for loan losses due to deteriorating credit, somewhat offset by a larger tax benefit.

Our tax rate in each of the first three quarters of 2007 was based on estimates at the applicable time of pre-tax income and other factors that would affect the rate for the full year, and we recorded the income tax provision in each quarter using the estimated rate. In the fourth quarter, we recorded a tax benefit of $285 million reflecting a fourth quarter adjustment to the full year tax rate due to lower than expected earnings.

Comparison of 2006 with 2005

Results in 2006 reflect the impact of acquisitions from the date on which each closed, including Golden West from October 1, 2006, Westcorp from March 1, 2006, and other smaller acquisitions. In addition, results reflect divestitures of our Corporate and Institutional Trust businesses in late 2005 and our subprime mortgage servicing operation in late 2006.

Corporate Results of Operations In 2006, we earned $7.8 billion in net income, up 17 percent from 2005, and diluted earnings per common share were $4.63, up 11 percent from 2005. Total revenue grew 15 percent to $30.1 billion, driven by a 19 percent increase in fee and other income largely from our market-driven businesses, as well as growth in service charges, other banking fees and other income. Net interest income growth of 11 percent reflected a larger balance sheet, although growth was dampened by margin compression.

Average loans grew 35 percent, including the addition for three months of $124.0 billion from Golden West and the addition for 10 months of $13.5 billion from Westcorp. Noninterest expense grew 10 percent, largely reflecting the impact of acquisitions as well as higher revenue-based and other incentives and efficiency initiative costs.

Income taxes based on income from continuing operations were $3.7 billion in 2006, an increase of $692 million from 2005. The related effective income tax rates were 32.49 percent in 2006 and 32.05 percent in 2005. The increase in this rate was primarily the result of higher pre-tax income in 2006. On a fully tax-equivalent basis, the related income tax rates were 33.39 percent in 2006 and 33.59 percent in 2005.

Business Segments General Bank segment earnings were $4.6 billion in 2006, an increase of 42 percent, led by 27 percent growth in net interest income driven by acquisitions as well as organic growth in loan production. Fee and other income rose 26 percent reflecting growth in service charges and strong debit card interchange income as well as a $100 million credit card-related fee. Noninterest expense was up 13 percent from acquisitions as well as increased revenue-based incentives. Wealth Management’s segment earnings were $302 million, an increase of 3 percent on 7 percent higher revenue largely due to higher fee and other income from a 2005 acquisition. Wealth’s noninterest expense rose 10 percent primarily due to the acquisition and to transition to a new investment management platform.

Corporate and Investment Bank segment earnings rose 17 percent to $2.5 billion, reflecting revenue growth of 16 percent as 28 percent growth in fee and other income primarily from strong investment banking, trading and principal investing results offset a 1 percent decline in net interest income. Noninterest expense rose 16 percent due to higher revenue-based incentives, and the impact of several smaller acquisitions.

Capital Management’s segment earnings grew 34 percent to $911 million, reflecting 12 percent revenue growth driven by strength in retail brokerage managed account fees and 20 percent net interest income growth on improved deposit spreads. Noninterest expense grew 6 percent largely due to higher commissions and other incentives.

The Parent segment had a loss of $381 million compared with $292 million in earnings in 2005. Total revenue in the Parent was lower due to reduced spreads on funding the securities portfolio and growth in wholesale borrowings, partially offset by growth in the securities portfolio.

Balance Sheet Analysis The majority of the year-over-year 15 percent increase in average earning assets to $494.1 billion in 2006 primarily reflected acquisitions. The decrease in securities available for sale from December 31, 2005, reflected the sale of securities at the end of the third quarter

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of 2006 to achieve our desired asset/liability profile in preparation for our merger with Golden West. The 62 percent increase in loans from year-end 2005 reflected the addition of $124.0 billion in loans related to Golden West and the addition of $13.5 billion from Westcorp, largely auto loans, as well as increased consumer real estate-secured activity in our financial centers. Nonperforming assets increased from year-end 2005 to 0.32 percent of loans, foreclosed properties and loans held for sale. Nonaccrual loans nearly doubled over the same period driven by the Golden West acquisition.

Provision expense rose 74 percent from 2005 to $434 million largely related to Westcorp. The allowance for loan losses increased by $636 million from year-end 2005 to $3.4 billion at December 31, 2006, including the addition of $303 million from Golden West.

Liquidity and Capital Adequacy Core deposits increased 27 percent from December 31, 2005, to $371.8 billion at December 31, 2006. Compared with 2005, average core deposits in 2006, which included the impact of Golden West and Westcorp, increased 11 percent to $309.0 billion and average low-cost core deposits increased 2 percent to $244.2 billion, including the acquisitions.

Average purchased funds were $93.9 billion in 2006, including the impact of the October 2006 addition of $4.5 billion from Golden West, and $98.7 billion in 2005. Purchased funds were $84.8 billion at December 31, 2006, and $93.3 billion at December 31, 2005, reflecting higher foreign deposits, more than offset by the effect of greater use of long-term debt for funding rather than short-term borrowings. Long-term debt increased $89.6 billion from December 31, 2005, to $138.6 billion at December 31, 2006, largely reflecting the addition of $48.1 billion of Golden West debt and the issuance of $38.3 billion of debt. Stockholders’ equity increased 47 percent from year-end 2005 to $69.7 billion at December 31, 2006, including $18.5 billion related to the purchase of Golden West, offset by repurchases of 82 million common shares at a cost of $4.5 billion in connection with our share repurchase programs.

We paid $3.6 billion, or $2.14 per share, in dividends to common stockholders in 2006 compared with $3.0 billion, or $1.94 per share, in 2005. Our tier 1 capital ratio declined 8 basis points to 7.42 at December 31, 2006, driven primarily by the effect of the cash payment made in connection with the Golden West acquisition.

EXPLANATION OF OUR USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

     In addition to the results of operations presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), our management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures such as expenses excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses; the dividend payout ratio on a basis that excludes other intangible amortization, merger-related and restructuring expenses, discontinued operations and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle; and net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis.

     We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance and our business and performance trends, and they facilitate comparisons with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Specifically, we believe the exclusion of merger-related and restructuring expenses permits evaluation and comparison of results for ongoing business operations, and it is on this basis that our management internally assesses our performance. Those non-operating items also are excluded from our segment measures used internally to evaluate segment performance in accordance with GAAP because management does not consider them particularly relevant or useful in evaluating the operating performance of our business segments. For additional information related to segment performance, see the Business Segments section and Note 14 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. This report contains information relating to estimates of our future expenses excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses. The amount and timing of those future merger-related and restructuring expenses, however, are not estimable until such expenses actually occur, and therefore, reconciliation information relating to those future expenses and GAAP expenses has not been provided.

     In addition, because of the significant amount of deposit base intangible amortization, we believe the exclusion of this expense provides investors with consistent and meaningful comparisons to other financial service firms. Also, our management makes recommendations to our board of directors about dividend payments based on reported earnings excluding other intangible amortization, merger-related and restructuring expenses, discontinued operations and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and has communicated certain dividend payout ratio goals to investors on this basis. We believe this dividend payout ratio is useful to investors because it provides investors with a better understanding of and permits investors to monitor our dividend payout policy.

     This report also includes net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis. We believe the presentation of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice.

     Although we believe the above mentioned non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures from GAAP to non-GAAP is presented below.

Management’s Report

WACHOVIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

     Management of Wachovia Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

     Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, management of the Company has concluded the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f), as of December 31, 2007.

     Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

     Management is also responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include, as necessary, best estimates and judgments by management.

     KPMG LLP, an independent, registered public accounting firm, has audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, as stated in their reports, which are included herein.

Independent Auditors’ Report

WACHOVIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Wachovia Corporation

     We have audited Wachovia Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Wachovia Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

     Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

     In our opinion, Wachovia Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

     We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Wachovia Corporation as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, and our report dated February 25, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Wachovia Corporation

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wachovia Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wachovia Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

     As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Wachovia Corporation changed its method of accounting for income tax uncertainties, leveraged leases, hybrid financial instruments, collateral associated with derivative contracts and life insurance during 2007 and changed its method of accounting for mortgage servicing rights, stock-based compensation and pension and other postretirement plans in 2006.

     We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Wachovia Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated February 25, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

WACHOVIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007, 2006 AND 2005

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

     Wachovia Corporation (the “Parent Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal wholly owned subsidiaries are Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia Bank”), a national banking association; Wachovia Mortgage, FSB (formerly World Savings Bank, FSB), a federally chartered savings bank; and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, an institutional and investment banking company. The Company also holds a 62 percent interest in Wachovia Securities Financial Holdings, LLC, the parent company of Wachovia Securities, LLC (“Wachovia Securities”), a retail brokerage company (see Note 2 for further discussion of the Company’s majority interest). The Company also holds a majority interest in Wachovia Preferred Funding Corp., a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”), which has publicly traded preferred stock outstanding. Wachovia Corporation and subsidiaries (together “Wachovia” or the “Company”) is a diversified financial services company whose operations are principally domestic.

     The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and they conform to general practices within the applicable industries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company and all its majority-owned subsidiaries as well as variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

     The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. The accounting policies that are particularly sensitive to judgments and the extent to which significant estimates are used include allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, fair value of certain financial instruments, consolidation, goodwill impairment and contingent liabilities.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing bank balances and federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. Generally, cash and cash equivalents have maturities of three months or less, and accordingly, the carrying amount of these instruments is deemed to be fair value.

SECURITIES PURCHASED AND SOLD AGREEMENTS

     Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amount at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. It is the Company’s policy to take possession of securities purchased under resale agreements, which are primarily U.S. Government and Government agency securities. The Company monitors the market value of securities purchased and sold and obtains collateral from or returns it to counterparties when appropriate.

SECURITIES AND TRADING ACTIVITIES

     Securities are classified at the date of commitment or purchase as trading or as available for sale securities. The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices, or if quoted market prices are not available, then the fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses using observable market data where available. The determination of fair value includes various factors such as exchange or over-the-counter market price quotations; time value and volatility factors for options, warrants and derivatives; observed prices for equivalent or synthetic instruments; and counterparty credit quality.

Trading Account Assets and Liabilities

     Trading account assets and liabilities include primarily debt securities, securities sold short and trading derivatives, and are recorded at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded in trading account profits in the results of operations. Interest and dividends on trading account debt and equity securities, including securities sold short, are recorded in interest income or interest expense on an accrual basis. Interest and dividends on trading account derivatives are included in trading account profits (losses) in the results of operations. The fair value of derivatives in a gain position, as well as purchased options, are reported as trading account assets. Similarly, the fair value of derivatives in a loss position, as well as written options, are reported as trading account liabilities. The reported amounts related to trading derivatives include the effect of master netting agreements, where applicable.

Securities Available for Sale

     Securities available for sale, which include debt securities and marketable equity securities, are used as part of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy, and they may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks and other factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded net of income taxes as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Interest and dividends on securities are recognized in interest income on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized as an adjustment to yield over the contractual term of the security. If a prepayment occurs on a security, any related premium or discount is recognized as an adjustment to yield in the results of operations in the period in which the prepayment occurs. Realized gains and losses are recognized on a specific identification, trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are included in fee and other income as securities gains (losses) in the results of operations.

Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report      75

Audited Financial Statements

     On a quarterly basis, the Company makes an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is impaired on an other-than-temporary basis. The Company considers many factors including the severity and duration of the impairment; the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value; recent events specific to the issuer or industry; and for debt securities, external credit ratings and recent downgrades. Securities on which there is an unrealized loss that is deemed to be other-than-temporary are written down to fair value with the write-down recorded as a realized loss in securities gains (losses).

Derivatives

     See Note 19 for the applicable policies for trading account derivatives (including economic hedges) and derivatives designated and accounted for as hedges. In connection with the Company’s derivative activities, the Company may obtain collateral from, or deliver collateral to derivative counterparties. The amount of collateral required is based on the level of credit risk and on the strength of the individual counterparty. Generally, the form of the collateral required is cash. In the third quarter of 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 39-1, which expands the scope of FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts,” to permit netting of cash collateral received or posted against the applicable derivative asset or liability in situations where the applicable netting criteria are met. This new interpretation, which the FASB issued in April 2007, is effective January 1, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The FSP requires retrospective adoption to earlier periods. The interest income or expense related to netted cash collateral is included in trading account profits (losses) in the results of operations.

SERVICING RIGHTS

     In connection with certain transactions where the Company securitizes and sells originated or purchased loans with servicing retained, servicing assets or liabilities are recorded based on the fair value of the servicing rights on the date the loans are sold. The Company also purchases certain servicing assets.

     With the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” on January 1, 2006, the Company determined that certain mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) would be recorded at fair value on an ongoing basis, with changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations (“fair value MSRs”). See Note 5 for additional information on the adoption of SFAS 156. Servicing assets carried at amortized cost (“amortizing MSRs”) are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of net servicing income.

CONSOLIDATION

     The Company consolidates those entities in which it holds a controlling financial interest, which is typically measured as a majority of the outstanding common stock. However, in certain situations, a voting interest may not be indicative of control, and in those cases, control is measured by other factors. Variable interest entities (“VIEs”), certain of which are also referred to as special-purpose entities (“SPEs”), are entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A company is deemed to be the “primary beneficiary,” and thus required to consolidate a VIE, if the company has a variable interest (or combination of variable interests) that will absorb a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, that will receive a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns, or both. A “variable interest” is a contractual, ownership or other interest that changes with changes in the fair value of the VIE’s net assets. “Expected losses” and “expected residual returns” are measures of variability in the expected cash flows of a VIE.

SECURITIZATIONS AND BENEFICIAL INTERESTS

     In certain asset securitization transactions that meet the applicable criteria to be accounted for as a sale, assets are sold to an entity referred to as a “qualifying special purpose entity” (“QSPE”), which then issues beneficial interests in the form of senior and subordinated interests collateralized by the assets. In some cases, the Company may retain as much as 90 percent of the beneficial interests. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may also resecuritize certain assets in a new securitization transaction.

     The assets and liabilities sold to a QSPE are excluded from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, subject to a quarterly evaluation to ensure the entity continues to meet the requirements to be a QSPE. If the Company’s portion of the beneficial interests exceeds 90 percent, a QSPE would no longer qualify for off-balance sheet treatment and the Company may be required to consolidate the SPE, subject to determining whether the entity is a VIE and to determining who is the primary beneficiary. In these cases, any beneficial interests previously held by the Company are derecognized from the balance sheet and the underlying assets and liabilities of the SPE are recorded at fair value to the extent interests were previously held by outside parties.

     The carrying amount of the assets transferred to a QSPE, excluding servicing rights, is allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer. A gain or loss is recorded in other fee income for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the assets sold. Fair values are based on quoted market prices, quoted market prices for similar assets, or if market prices are not available, then the fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses with assumptions for credit losses, prepayments and discount rates that are corroborated by and independently verified against market observable data, where possible. Retained interests from securitizations with off-balance sheet entities, including QSPEs and VIEs where the Company is not the primary beneficiary, are classified as either available for sale securities, trading account assets or loans, and are accounted for as described herein.

LOANS

     Loans are recorded at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Loan origination fees and direct costs as well as premiums and discounts are amortized as an adjustment to yield over the term of the loan. Loan commitment fees are generally deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the commitment period.

     A loan is considered to be impaired when based on current information, it is probable the Company will not receive all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of a loan agreement. The allowance for loan losses for an impaired loan is the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the loan. The fair value is measured based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When the ultimate collectibility of the principal balance of an impaired loan is in doubt, all cash receipts are applied to principal. Once the recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged off, and then to interest income to the extent any interest was forgone. In situations where the Company grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring. Such loans are also considered impaired.

     The accrual of interest is generally discontinued on commercial loans and leases that become 90 days past due as to principal or interest, or where reasonable doubt exists as to collection, unless well secured and in the process of collection. Certain consumer loans, including auto and installment, that become 120 days past due are placed on nonaccrual status. Consumer real estate-secured loans that become 180 days past due are placed on nonaccrual status, with the exception of Pick-a-Payment loans (see Note 6) that are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due.

     Generally, consumer loans that become 180 days past due are charged off. When borrowers demonstrate over an extended period the ability to repay a loan in accordance with the contractual terms of a loan classified as nonaccrual, the loan is returned to accrual status.

Leases

     Loans also include direct financing leases that are recorded at the aggregate of minimum lease payments receivable plus the estimated residual value of the leased property, less unearned income. Leveraged leases, which are a form of direct financing leases, are recorded net of nonrecourse debt. Unearned income on leases is amortized under a method that results in a level rate of return.

     On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FSP FAS 13-2, “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leverage Lease Transaction.” FSP 13-2 amends SFAS 13, “Accounting for Leases,” such that changes that affect the timing of cash flows but not the total net income under a leveraged lease will trigger a recalculation of the lease. Prior to FSP 13-2, only changes in important lease assumptions that changed the total estimated net income under a lease triggered a recalculation; changes affecting only the timing of leveraged lease cash flows did not.

     The Company has two primary classes of leveraged lease transactions that are affected by FSP 13-2: Lease-In, Lease-Out transactions (“LILOs”) and a second group of transactions that are broadly referred to as Sale-In, Lease-Out transactions (“SILOs”). The Company settled with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in June 2004 on all matters relating to the portfolio of LILOs. On SILOs, the Company has concluded that it is possible that upon ultimate resolution with the IRS, the Company may not realize all of the income tax benefits originally recorded. On January 1, 2007, the Company recorded a $1.4 billion after-tax charge to beginning retained earnings entirely related to recalculation of the Company’s portfolios of LILOs and SILOs to reflect the actual change in the timing of income tax cash flows on LILOs and the expected change on SILOs.

     In performing the leveraged lease recalculation, the Company made certain assumptions relative to the amount and timing of income tax cash flows. If new information becomes available in the future causing a change in the assumptions, the Company would then be required to perform another recalculation, the effect of which would be reported in the results of operations, and could, depending on the assumption that changed, result in either an increase or a decrease to the net investment in the leases.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND RESERVE FOR UNFUNDED LENDING COMMITMENTS

     The allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments (which is reported in other liabilities) are maintained at levels that are adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and in unfunded commercial lending commitments, respectively, as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. The Company has developed policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments that reflect the assessment of credit risk considering all available information. Where appropriate, this assessment includes monitoring qualitative and quantitative trends including changes in the levels of past due, criticized and nonperforming loans. In developing this assessment, the Company must rely on estimates and exercise judgment in assessing credit risk. Depending on changes in circumstances, future assessments of credit risk may yield materially different results from the estimates, which may require an increase or a decrease in the allowance for loan losses or reserve for unfunded lending commitments.

Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report      77

Audited Financial Statements

     The Company employs a variety of modeling and estimation tools for measuring credit risk that are used in developing an appropriate allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan losses consists of formula-based components for both the commercial and consumer portfolios, each of which includes an adjustment for historical loss variability, a reserve for impaired commercial loans and an unallocated component. The factors supporting the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments do not diminish the fact that the entire allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments are available to absorb losses in the loan portfolio and related commitment portfolio, respectively. The Company’s principal focus, therefore, is on the adequacy of the total allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments.

     The allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments are subject to review by banking regulators. The Company’s primary bank regulators regularly conduct examinations of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments and make assessments regarding their adequacy and the methodology employed in their determination.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE

     Loans are classified as held for sale based on management’s intent to sell the loans, either as part of a core business strategy or related to a risk mitigation strategy. Loans held for sale and any related unfunded commercial lending commitments are recorded at the lower of cost or market value (“LOCOM”). At the time of the transfer to loans held for sale, if the market value is less than cost (which is the carrying amount net of deferred fees and costs and applicable allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded lending commitments), the difference is recorded as additional provision for credit losses in the results of operations. Market value is determined based on quoted market prices for the same or similar loans where such information is available; otherwise the Company uses outstanding investor commitments or discounted cash flow analyses with market assumptions. Loans held for sale are aggregated for purposes of calculating the market value, consistent with the strategy for sale of the loans.

     For a relationship that includes an unfunded commercial lending commitment, the cost basis is the outstanding balance of the loan net of the allowance for loan losses and net of any reserve for unfunded lending commitments. This cost basis is compared to the market value of the entire relationship including the unfunded lending commitment, where applicable. The market values of loans in loans held for sale are reviewed at least quarterly. Subsequent declines or recoveries of previous declines in the market value are recorded in other fee income in the results of operations. Market value changes occur due to changes in interest rates, the borrower’s credit, the secondary loan market or the market for a particular borrower’s debt.

     Individual loans or pools of loans are transferred from the loan portfolio to loans held for sale when the intent to hold the loans has changed and there is a plan to sell the loans within a reasonable period of time. When the Company no longer has the intent to sell loans, individual loans or pools of loans are transferred from loans held for sale to the loan portfolio.

     For unfunded lending commitments where management’s intent is to sell all or part of the funded loan, the Company records a reserve when management believes that a loss is both probable and estimable. The loss estimate is based on management’s assessment of either the amount the Company would pay to transfer the commitment or the difference between the assumed funded amount, if the loan were to fund currently, and the amount at which the loan could be sold currently.

     If an unfunded commercial lending commitment expires before a sale occurs, the reserve associated with the unfunded commercial lending commitment is recognized as a credit to other fee income in the results of operations.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

     Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is discontinued at the time an asset is determined to be held for disposal. Premises and equipment include certain costs associated with the acquisition or development of internal-use software, leasehold improvements and capitalized leases. For leasehold improvements, the estimated useful life is the lesser of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life. For capitalized leased assets, the estimated useful life is generally the lease term.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENTS

     Principal investments are recorded at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in principal investing income in the results of operations, and are included in other assets on the balance sheet. For public equity investments, fair value is based on quoted market prices, net of applicable blockage discounts for trading restrictions and liquidity. Investments in non-public securities are recorded at the Company’s estimate of fair value, which is generally the original cost basis unless either the investee has raised additional debt or equity capital and the Company believes the transaction, taking into consideration differences in the terms of securities, is a better indicator of fair value; or the Company believes the fair value is less than the carrying amount.

     For investments in private equity funds, the Company uses information provided by the fund managers in the initial determination of estimated fair value. Valuation factors such as the age of the fund and industry concentrations are used in the final determination of estimated fair value.

     In situations where a portion of an investment in a non-public security or fund is sold, the Company recognizes a realized gain or loss on the portion sold and an unrealized gain or loss on the portion retained.

78     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

     The Company accounts for investments in which the Company has significant influence, generally represented by an investment in 20 percent or more of the common stock of the investee, under the equity method of accounting, except for equity investments carried at fair value as described in “Principal Investing” above. Equity method investments are recorded at cost adjusted to reflect the Company’s portion of income, loss or dividends of the investee. The Company recognizes gain or loss in the results of operations on transactions where a subsidiary or an equity method investee issues common stock subject to a determination that the gain is realizable and that there are no plans to reacquire the shares; otherwise, the gain or loss is recorded net of income taxes directly in stockholders’ equity.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete, generally on the trade date, and collectibility is assured. Specifically, brokerage commission fees are recognized in income on a trade date basis. Asset management fees, measured by assets at a particular date, are accrued as earned. Advisory and underwriting fees are recognized when the related transaction is complete. Commission expenses are recorded when the related revenue is recognized.

     For derivative contracts, gains and losses at inception are recognized only if the fair value of the contract is evidenced by a quoted market price in an active market, an observable price of other market transactions or other observable data supporting a valuation technique. For those gains and losses that are not evidenced by market data, the transaction price is used as the fair value of the contract, and no gain or loss is recognized at inception. Any gains or losses not meeting the criteria for initial recognition are deferred and recognized when realized.

INCOME TAXES

     On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” The Company’s accounting policies related to income taxes and adoption of FIN 48 are included in Note 17.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Goodwill and identified intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization. Rather these assets are subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. This test involves assigning tangible assets and liabilities, identified intangible assets and goodwill to reporting units and comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a further test is required to measure the amount of impairment. The Company determined that lines of business that are one level below operating segments are its reporting units.

     Identified intangible assets that have a finite useful life are amortized over that life in a manner that approximates the estimated decline in the economic value of the identified intangible asset. Identified intangible assets that have a finite useful life are periodically reviewed to determine whether there have been any events or circumstances to indicate the recorded amount is not recoverable from projected undiscounted net operating cash flows. If the projected undiscounted net operating cash flows are less than the carrying amount, a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to fair value, and when appropriate, the amortization period is also reduced.

     Unamortized intangible assets associated with disposed assets are included in the determination of gain or loss on sale of the disposed assets and for businesses sold, a portion of the goodwill, based on the relative fair value of the business sold as compared with the fair value of the applicable reporting unit, is included in the determination of gain or loss.

     The Company’s impairment evaluations for the year ended December 31, 2007, indicated that none of the Company’s goodwill or identified intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are impaired.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

     The purchase price of an acquired entity or business, to the extent the proceeds include the Company’s common stock, is based on the weighted average closing prices of the Company’s common stock for a period two trading days before the announcement and two trading days after the announcement of the merger, which includes the announcement date. The assets and liabilities of an acquired entity or business are recorded at their respective fair values as of the closing date of the merger. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of a merger as information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. The results of operations of an acquired entity are included in the Company’s consolidated results from the closing date of the merger, and prior periods are not restated.

     To the extent that an acquired entity’s employees hold stock options, such options are typically converted into options of the Company at the applicable exchange ratio for the common stock, and the exercise price is adjusted accordingly. The fair values of such options are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market assumptions. For vested options, including those that fully vested upon change in control, the fair value is included as a component of the purchase price. For options that continue to vest post-merger, the fair value is amortized in accordance with the Company’s policies for stock-based compensation as described herein.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company has stock-based compensation plans under which incentive and nonqualified stock options and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) may be granted periodically to certain employees. These awards generally vest based on continued service with the Company with the vesting of certain RSAs subject to performance conditions. These plans are described in detail in Note 12.

     The Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options effective as of the beginning of the year in which the decision was made, or January 1, 2002, and only for stock option awards made in 2002 and thereafter. Under the fair value method, fair value is measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with market assumptions. This amount is amortized as salaries and employee benefits expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility, which if changed can significantly affect fair value estimates. Awards prior to 2002 continue to be accounted for under the intrinsic value method, and all such awards had fully vested by December 31, 2005.

     For restricted stock, deferred compensation is measured as the fair value of the shares on the date of grant, and the deferred compensation is amortized as salaries and employee benefits expense in the results of operations in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule, generally straight-line over three years to five years. Certain of the Company’s restricted stock awards vest if the Company achieves certain performance conditions and these awards are amortized on an accelerated basis. Note 12 has additional information on stock-based compensation.

     The Company adopted SFAS 123 (revised), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS 123R”), effective January 1, 2006, and the primary impact of this new standard on the Company was the different treatment of awards granted after January 1, 2006, to retirement-eligible employees, which must be expensed in full at the date of grant, or from the date of grant to the date that an employee will become retirement-eligible, if that is before the end of the stated vesting period.

     For the year ended December 31, 2005, both the reported stock-based employee compensation expense, net of income taxes, and the total stock-based compensation expense determined as if the fair value method had been applied for all awards, net of income taxes, were $67 million. As a result, there was no difference in basic and diluted earnings per common share.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive shares (typically stock options and restricted stock). Income available to common stockholders is computed as net income less dividends on preferred stock.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     The assets, liabilities and results of operations of foreign branches and subsidiaries are recorded based on the applicable functional currency for each entity. For the majority of the Company’s foreign operations, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and accordingly, the remeasurement gains or losses on non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated results of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In addition to the adoption in 2006 of the new accounting pronouncements described above, including SFAS 156 and SFAS 123R, the Company also adopted SFAS 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,” on its effective date of December 31, 2006. Note 15 includes additional information on the adoption of SFAS 158.

     On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FSP 13-2, which is described above, FIN 48 which is described in Note 17, SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance—Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, ‘Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance,’” and FSP FIN 39-1, “Amendment of FASB Interpretation No 39,” which is described elsewhere in Note 1.

     SFAS 155 permits companies to record certain hybrid financial instruments at fair value with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations. Hybrid financial instruments are those containing an embedded derivative. SFAS 155 also provides a one-time opportunity to elect to record certain hybrid financial instruments existing on January 1, 2007, at fair value. Wachovia did not elect to carry any such financial instruments at fair value, and accordingly, had no cumulative effect adjustment from the adoption. Going forward, certain retained interests in securitizations will be carried at fair value under SFAS 155 with unrealized gains and losses recorded in the results of operations.

     EITF Issue No. 06-5 addresses the accounting for certain bank and corporate-owned life insurance policies. The impact of adoption of this standard amounted to a $4 million reduction in the Company’s January 1, 2007, investment in bank and corporate-owned life insurance of $13.3 billion, with an offsetting $4 million reduction in beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2007.

80      Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

     In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires the use of both an income statement approach and a balance sheet approach when evaluating whether an error is material to an entity’s financial statements, based on all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. The SEC issued SAB 108 to address what the SEC identified as diversity in practice whereby entities were using either an income statement approach or a balance sheet approach, but not both. The Company consistently used an income statement approach in prior periods. SAB 108 became effective December 31, 2006, and any material adjustments arising from the adoption of SAB 108 were required to be recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings.

     In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company completed its analysis in accordance with SAB 108 using both the income statement approach and the balance sheet approach and concluded the Company had no prior year misstatements that were material to its consolidated financial statements.

OTHER INCOME

     Other income for the year ended December 31, 2007, includes $1.3 billion of valuation losses related to commercial mortgage, consumer mortgage and leveraged finance.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain amounts in 2006 and 2005 were reclassified to conform with the presentation in 2007. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial position or results of operations.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On February 8, 2008, the Company issued $3.5 billion of non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock with a dividend of 7.98 percent for ten years and thereafter a floating interest rate. The Company may redeem the preferred stock after ten years.

NOTE 2: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

     The Company employs a disciplined, deliberate and methodical process of integration for its mergers. As part of this process, detailed plans are developed and then approved by senior management prior to execution of the plans. Amounts are recorded as exit cost purchase accounting adjustments only after approval of the associated plan by senior management.

     The Company believes each of the mergers described below enhances stockholder value by building a financial services company with the ability to provide more products and services for customers across an expanded footprint, increased distribution channels available to customers, more investment opportunities for clients, and significant capital to deploy.

Wachovia/A.G. Edwards Merger

     On May 31, 2007, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with A.G. Edwards, Inc., a retail brokerage firm headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. The merger was completed on October 1, 2007, and the A.G. Edwards retail brokerage business was combined with Wachovia Securities, Wachovia’s majority-owned retail brokerage subsidiary, on January 1, 2008. In accordance with the terms of the merger, the Company exchanged 0.9844 shares of its common stock and $35.80 in cash for each share of A.G. Edwards common stock. Upon completion of the merger, the Company issued 72 million common shares and $2.6 billion to holders of A.G. Edwards common shares. Additionally, employees of A.G. Edwards held 2.1 million stock options, which were converted into 3.5 million Wachovia stock options. These stock options continue to vest post-merger in accordance with their original vesting schedule. Based on the weighted average share price at the date of announcement of the merger on May 31, 2007, of $54.39, the merger was valued at $6.8 billion. The Company’s consolidated statement of income for 2007 includes results of A.G. Edwards for three months.

     In connection with Wachovia’s acquisition of A.G. Edwards and under the terms of Wachovia Securities’ joint venture with Prudential Financial, Inc., Prudential elected to exercise its lookback option, which permits Prudential to delay for two years following the combination of the A.G. Edwards retail brokerage business with Wachovia Securities its decision to make or not make an additional capital contribution to the joint venture or other payments to avoid or limit dilution of its 38 percent ownership interest in the joint venture as of December 31, 2007.

     During the lookback period, Prudential’s share in the joint venture’s earnings and one-time costs associated with the combination will be based on Prudential’s diluted ownership level following the A.G. Edwards combination. At the end of the lookback period, Prudential may elect to make an additional capital contribution or other payment, based on the appraised value of the existing joint venture and the A.G. Edwards business as of the date of the combination with Wachovia Securities, which was January 1, 2008, to avoid or limit dilution. In this case, Prudential also would make a true-up payment of one-time costs to reflect the incremental increase in its ownership interest in the joint venture.

     In addition, in this case, Prudential may not then exercise its existing option to put its joint venture interests to Wachovia at its appraised value, including the A.G. Edwards business, at any time after July 1, 2008, until the first anniversary of the end of the lookback period. Alternatively, at the end of the lookback period, Prudential may put its joint venture interests to Wachovia based on the appraised value of the joint venture, excluding the A.G. Edwards business, as of the date of the combination of the A.G. Edwards business with Wachovia Securities.

     Based on A.G. Edwards tangible equity on the date of the merger of $2.2 billion, an aggregate purchase price of $6.8 billion, including $265 million in fair value of employee stock options and restricted stock, and purchase accounting adjustments amounting to a decrease in net assets of $24 million (excluding $337 million of deferred tax liabilities on intangible assets), the merger resulted in total intangible assets of $5.0 billion. Of the total intangible assets, $850 million ($513 million net of deferred income taxes) was allocated to a customer relationship intangible and $4.1 billion to goodwill. The customer relationship intangible arises from the relationship A.G. Edwards has with its brokerage customers and is being amortized over an estimated life of 15 years using an accelerated method that reflects the estimated pattern over which the economic benefits will be consumed. All fair values are preliminary and subject to change as additional information as of the merger date becomes available and as exit plans are finalized.

     The statement of net assets acquired at fair value at October 1, 2007, and the computation of the purchase price and goodwill related to the merger of Wachovia and A.G. Edwards are presented on the following page.

Wachovia/Golden West Merger

     On October 1, 2006, the Company completed a merger with Golden West Financial Corporation (“Golden West”), a California-based retail banking and mortgage lending franchise. In accordance with the terms of the merger, consideration was exchanged amounting to 77 percent in Wachovia common stock and 23 percent in cash, which was equivalent to 1.05105 shares of Wachovia common stock and $18.6461 for each share of Golden West common stock. Upon completion of the merger, the Company issued 326 million common shares and $5.8 billion to holders of Golden West common shares. Additionally, employees of Golden West held 8.3 million stock options, which were converted into 11.4 million Wachovia stock options. These stock options fully vested on the date of the merger.

     Based on a weighted average share price at the date of announcement of the merger in May 2006 of $55.69, the merger was valued at $24.3 billion. The consolidated statement of income for 2006 includes results of Golden West for three months.

     Based on Golden West tangible equity on the date of the merger of $9.7 billion, an aggregate purchase price of $24.3 billion and purchase accounting adjustments amounting to a decrease in net assets of $576 million (excluding $159 million of deferred tax liabilities in intangible assets), the merger resulted in total intangible assets of $15.3 billion. Of the total intangible assets, $405 million ($246 million net of deferred income taxes) was allocated to deposit base intangible and $14.9 billion to goodwill. The deposit base intangible is being amortized over an estimated life of 15 years using an accelerated method that reflects the estimated pattern over which the economic benefits will be consumed.

     In 2007, the Company finalized certain fair value measurements as of the date of the merger and certain exit plans, and in connection therewith recorded a net $19 million increase in goodwill, which is included in the aforementioned total goodwill.

Wachovia/Westcorp Merger

     On March 1, 2006, the Company completed a merger with Westcorp and WFS Financial Inc. (“WFS”), California-based auto loan origination businesses. The common stock of WFS was 84 percent owned by Westcorp and 16 percent publicly traded. In accordance with the terms of the merger, the Company exchanged 1.2749 shares and 1.4661 shares of its common stock for each share of Westcorp and WFS common stock, respectively. Upon completion of the merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 77 million common shares to holders of Westcorp and WFS common shares. Additionally, employees of Westcorp held 1.3 million stock options, which were converted into 1.6 million Wachovia stock options. These stock options continue to vest post-merger in accordance with their original vesting schedule.

     Based on the weighted average share price at the date of announcement in September 2005 of $49.60 ($63.24 for each share of Westcorp common stock and $72.72 for each share of WFS common stock), the merger was valued at $3.8 billion. The Company’s consolidated statement of income for 2006 includes results of Westcorp for 10 months.

     Based on Westcorp tangible equity on the date of the merger of $1.9 billion, an aggregate purchase price of $3.8 billion and purchase accounting adjustments amounting to an increase in net assets of $226 million (excluding $152 million of deferred tax liabilities on intangible assets), the merger resulted in total intangible assets of $1.9 billion. Of the total intangible assets, $52 million ($32 million net of deferred income taxes) was allocated to a deposit base intangible, $353 million ($221 million net of deferred income taxes) to a customer relationship intangible and $1.5 billion to goodwill. The customer relationship intangible arises from the relationship Westcorp has with certain auto dealers. The deposit base intangible and the customer relationship intangible are each being amortized over estimated lives of 15 years using an accelerated method that reflects the estimated pattern over which the economic benefits will be consumed.

     In the first two months of 2007, the Company finalized certain fair value measurements as of the date of the merger and certain exit plans, and in connection therewith recorded a net $16 million decrease in goodwill, which is included in the aforementioned total goodwill.

Wachovia/ECM Transaction

     On January 31, 2007, Wachovia completed the acquisition of a majority interest in privately held European Credit Management Ltd. (“ECM”), a London-based fixed income investment management firm with approximately $26 billion (€20 billion) in assets under management as of the acquisition date. The remaining increase in goodwill in 2007 relates primarily to this acquisition.

DISPOSITIONS

     In December 2005, the Company completed the divestiture of most of its Corporate and Institutional Trust (“CIT”) businesses in two separate transactions for $740 million. In 2006, an additional $76 million, or $46 million after tax, was recorded based on the level of business retained in the 12-month period following the completion of the disposition and the reversal of related disposition cost accruals. The 2005 after-tax gain of $214 million ($447 million pre-tax), and the $46 million after-tax gain in 2006, have been presented as a gain on sale of discontinued operations in the results of operations in 2005 and 2006. This disposition reduced goodwill and other intangible assets by $210 million in 2005. Financial results of the CIT businesses have not been presented as discontinued operations based on materiality, but have been excluded from the Capital Management business segment and included in the Parent for the year ended December 31, 2005 (see Note 14). These businesses did not have significant assets or liabilities associated with them and substantially all activities are reflected in operating cash flows on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Financial results of the CIT business included in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2005, are presented below.

Audited Financial Statements

     At December 31, 2007 and 2006, all securities not classified as trading were classified as available for sale.

     At December 31, 2007, mortgage-backed securities consist principally of obligations of U.S. Government agencies and sponsored entities. Included in mortgage-backed securities are Federal National Mortgage Association securities with an amortized cost of $50.2 billion and a market value of $49.9 billion ($53.8 billion and $52.8 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2006), and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation securities with an amortized cost of $14.8 billion and a market value of $14.7 billion ($17.6 billion and $17.3 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2006).

     Also included in mortgage-backed securities are U.S. Government agency and Government-sponsored entity securities retained from the securitization of residential mortgage loans. These securities had an amortized cost of $9.4 billion and a market value of $9.6 billion at December 31, 2007 (amortized cost and market value of $3.9 billion at December 31, 2006).

     Included in asset-backed securities are retained bonds primarily from the securitization of commercial and consumer real estate, SBA, student and auto loans. At December 31, 2007, retained bonds with an amortized cost and market value of $2.0 billion were considered investment grade based on external ratings, with $1.7 billion having credit ratings of AA and above. At December 31, 2006, retained bonds with an amortized cost and market value of $2.7 billion were considered investment grade based on external ratings, with $2.2 billion having credit ratings of AA and above.

     Sundry consists principally of foreign-denominated mortgage-backed securities.

     Securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $62.7 billion at December 31, 2007, are pledged to secure U.S. Government and other public deposits and for other purposes as required by various statutes or agreements.

     Expected maturities of beneficial interests and the contractual maturities of all other securities are summarized in the table. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Average maturity excludes equity securities and money market funds.

     Yields related to securities exempt from federal and state income taxes are stated on a fully tax-equivalent basis. They are reduced by the nondeductible portion of interest expense, assuming a federal tax rate of 35 percent and applicable state tax rates.

     At December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were forward commitments to purchase securities on both a regular way and non-regular way basis at a cost that approximates a market value of $15 million and $664 million, respectively. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were commitments to sell securities at a cost that approximates a market value of $337 million and $1.2 billion, respectively.

     The components of realized gains and losses on sales of debt and equity securities for 2007, 2006 and 2005 follow.

(b)	Impairment losses were $36 million, and $3 million in 2007 and 2005, respectively; none in 2006.

     The market values and unrealized losses on securities at December 31, 2007 and 2006, segregated by those securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for less than one year and one year or more are presented on the following page. The applicable date for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position is year-end. As such, it is possible that a security had a market value that exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the past twelve-month period. The gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2007 and 2006, were caused by interest rate changes. The Company has reviewed these securities in accordance with its accounting policy for other-than-temporary impairment, which is described in Note 1, and does not consider the balances presented in the table to be other-than temporarily impaired.

NOTE 5: VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES, SECURITIZATIONS AND RETAINED BENEFICIAL INTERESTS, AND SERVICING ASSETS

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

     The Company administers a multi-seller commercial paper conduit that arranges financing for certain customer transactions thereby providing customers with access to the commercial paper market. The Company provides liquidity facilities on all the commercial paper issued by the conduit. The conduit is a VIE and the liquidity agreements are considered a variable interest; however, because the Company does not hold a majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns through variable interests, the Company does not consolidate the conduit on the balance sheet. At the discretion of the administrator, the provisions of the liquidity agreements require the Company to purchase assets from the conduit at par value plus interest, including in situations where the conduit is unable to issue commercial paper. Par value may be different from fair value. Any losses incurred on such purchases would be initially absorbed by the third party holder of a subordinated note in the conduit. The ability of the conduit to issue commercial paper is a function of general market conditions and the credit rating of the liquidity provider. This conduit has always been able to issue commercial paper. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the conduit had total assets of $15.0 billion and $11.4 billion, respectively, and the Company had a maximum exposure to losses of $26.1 billion and $20.0 billion, respectively, including funded positions and committed exposure, related to its liquidity agreement.

     As more fully described in Note 20, the Company provides liquidity to certain third party commercial paper conduits and other entities in connection with collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) securitization transactions. The Company has also entered into derivative contracts with certain entities in connection with CDO securitization transactions that may require the Company to purchase assets at a specified price. These entities are VIEs and the Company’s liquidity facilities and derivative exposures are variable interests. The Company does not consolidate these entities because the Company does not hold a majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns through its variable interests. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had a maximum exposure to losses of $7.3 billion and $9.6 billion, respectively, related to these agreements.

     On September 30, 2007, as a result of the disruption in the capital markets, the Company consolidated a structured lending vehicle we administered, adding $4.9 billion of assets to our consolidated balance sheet. The structured lending vehicle was considered a VIE. The Company consolidated the structured lending vehicle because our expectation of the variability associated with our variable interests changed, primarily due to a decline in the fair value of the entity’s assets.

     The Company has an ownership interest in three investment funds managed by ECM. In January 2007, the Company purchased a majority interest in ECM. This purchase did not alter the Company’s conclusion that these funds are not subject to consolidation. At December 31, 2007, these funds had total assets of $20.0 billion. The Company’s maximum exposure to losses was $3.2 billion.

     In the third quarter of 2007, the Company purchased and placed in the securities available for sale portfolio $1.1 billion of asset-backed commercial paper from Evergreen money market funds, which the Company manages. The Company recorded $57 million of valuation losses in 2007 on this purchase, which are included in securities gains (losses) in the results of operations. The Company was not required by contract to purchase these or any other assets from the Evergreen funds. There are certain circumstances under which a money market fund may be considered a VIE and consolidated by the manager. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not consolidate the money market funds it manages.

SECURITIZATIONS AND RETAINED BENEFICIAL INTERESTS

     The Company originates, securitizes, sells and services certain loans, primarily commercial and consumer real estate, student and auto. The Company may also provide liquidity agreements to investors in the beneficial interests and credit enhancements in the form of standby letters of credit. Subordinated and residual interests for which there are no quoted market prices are valued using discounted cash flow analyses with assumptions for credit losses, prepayments and discount rates.

     The Company recognized gains of $257 million, $311 million and $254 million in 2007 (largely through June 30, 2007), 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to the securitization and sale of commercial real estate loans, including gains and losses related to economic hedges; gains of $123 million, $23 million and $60 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to the securitization and sale of consumer real estate loans; gains of $5 million and $24 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively, (none in 2007) related to the sale and securitization of student loans; and losses of $18 million, $20 million and $74 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to the securitization and sale of auto loans. Substantially all securitization and sale gains are included in other income with the exception of $62 million in 2007 that was included in securities gains (losses) and $207 million in 2005 that was included in trading account profits.

     At December 31, 2007, the Company had $12.4 billion of retained interests from securitizations, which included $9.6 billion of retained government-sponsored entity securities, $2.2 billion of senior and subordinated notes, receivables and servicing assets, and $624 million of residual interests, of which $131 million are carried at fair value under SFAS 155. Of the $12.4 billion, $9.8 billion (including the $9.6 billion of retained agency securities) were valued using quoted market prices or quoted market prices for similar assets. The remaining $2.6 billion consists of subordinated and residual interests for which there are no quoted market prices.

     At December 31, 2006, the Company had $8.2 billion of retained interests from securitizations, which included $3.9 billion of retained government-sponsored entity securities, $3.5 billion of senior and subordinated notes, receivables and servicing assets, and $816 million of residual interests. Of the $8.2 billion, $4.6 billion (including the $3.9 billion of retained agency securities) were valued using quoted market prices or quoted market prices for similar assets. The remaining $3.6 billion of retained interests consists of subordinated and residual interests, receivables and servicing assets for which there are no quoted market prices.

92     Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

     At December 31, 2005, the Company had $6.4 billion of retained interests from securitizations, which included $2.1 billion of retained government-sponsored entity securities, $3.4 billion of senior and subordinated notes, receivables and servicing assets, and $860 million of residual interests. Of the $6.4 billion of retained interests, $3.0 billion (including the $2.1 billion of retained agency securities) were valued using quoted market prices or quoted market prices for sales of similar assets. The remaining $3.4 billion of retained interests consists of subordinated and residual interests for which there are no quoted market prices.

     Original economic assumptions used for valuing certain retained interests in securitizations using discounted cash flow analyses and the cash flow activity from those securitizations completed in 2007, 2006 and 2005 are presented below.

     At December 31, 2007, the Company had $2.2 billion of retained interests in consumer real estate securitizations valued using weighted average prepayment speeds of 15.33 percent to 29.80 percent and expected credit losses of 0.24 percent to 3.21 percent. Discount rates fluctuate based on the credit rating of the retained interest: AAA/AA rated securities – LIBOR plus 0.35 percent to LIBOR plus 0.55 percent (5.37 percent to 5.57 percent), A/BBB rated securities – LIBOR plus 0.75 percent (5.77 percent) to 7.70 percent, below investment grade securities – 58.90 percent and non-rated securities – 17.78 percent to 32.83 percent.
     Adverse changes of 10 percent and 20 percent in key economic assumptions used to value retained interests were analyzed. The price sensitivity to these adverse changes for all retained interests in securitizations valued using discounted cash flow analysis is not significant.

SERVICING ASSETS
     SFAS 156, effective January 1, 2006, requires that all servicing assets and liabilities initially be recognized at fair value, rather than at allocated cost based on relative fair value (see Note 1). Additionally, SFAS 156 permits entities to choose to recognize individual classes of servicing assets at fair value on an ongoing basis, with subsequent changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The Company determined its classes of servicing assets based on the asset type being serviced along with the methods used to manage the risk inherent in the servicing assets, which includes the market inputs used to value the servicing assets. The risks inherent in these servicing assets vary based on asset class but include changes in market interest rates, prepayments, default rates and cost to service in event of default, among other factors. The Company elected to record a class of originated residential mortgage servicing assets at fair value on an ongoing basis with the adoption of SFAS 156. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $41 million after-tax cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2006, as required by SFAS 156, for the difference between the carrying amount of originated residential MSRs and their fair value at that date. Valuation of the originated residential MSRs recorded at fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows with prepayment speeds and discount rates as significant assumptions. At December 31, 2007, the weighted average prepayment speed assumption was 19.64 percent and the weighted average discount rate used was 11.58 percent.
     Valuation of amortizing MSRs is also estimated using discounted cash flows with key assumptions including prepayment speeds, discount rates, estimated default rates and cost to service. Amortizing MSRs are periodically evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those assets. If, by individual stratum, the carrying amount of these MSRs exceeds fair value, a valuation reserve is established. The valuation reserve is adjusted as the fair value changes. For purposes of impairment evaluation and measurement, the Company stratifies servicing assets based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans, including loan type, amortization type, loan coupon rate, and in certain circumstances, period of origination.
     At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of amortizing MSRs were $1.6 billion and $602 million, respectively, and $1.2 billion and $477 million, respectively. In connection with certain acquisitions and transactions in 2007, the Company recorded fair value MSRs of $195 million and amortizing MSRs of $457 million. In connection with certain acquisitions and transactions in 2006, the Company recorded fair value MSRs of $166 million and amortizing MSRs of $490 million. Amortizing MSRs have weighted average amortization periods of 8 years in both 2007 and 2006. Amortization expense related to amortizing MSRs in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $191 million, $260 million and $292 million, respectively. Servicing fee income in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $286 million, $424 million and $404 million, respectively, and is included in other banking fees on the consolidated statements of income. Changes in the fair value and amortization of servicing assets are included in other banking fees.
     Amortization expense for amortizing MSRs in each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2007, is as follows (in millions): 2008, $183; 2009, $152; 2010, $132; 2011, $121; and 2012, $99.
     The change in the fair value of originated residential MSRs and the change in the carrying amount of amortizing MSRs for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, are presented on the following page.

     Loans to directors and executive officers of the Parent Company and their related interests did not exceed 5 percent of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2007 and 2006. In the opinion of management, these loans do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility, nor do they include other features unfavorable to the Company.

     At December 31, 2007 and 2006, nonaccrual loans amounted to $5.1 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively; restructured loans were not significant at either year-end. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, gross interest income of $425 million, $109 million and $89 million, respectively, would have been recorded if all nonaccrual loans had been performing in accordance with their original terms and if they had been outstanding throughout the entire period, or since origination if held for part of the period. Interest collected on these loans and included in interest income in 2007, 2006 and 2005 amounted to $130 million, $43 million and $21 million, respectively.

     At December 31, 2007 and 2006, impaired loans amounted to $1.7 billion and $319 million, respectively. Included in the allowance for loan losses was $226 million related to $1.2 billion of impaired loans at December 31, 2007, and $14 million related to $58 million of impaired loans at December 31, 2006. Included in the reserve for unfunded lending commitments was $4 million related to the $12 million of impaired unfunded commercial lending commitments at December 31, 2007, and $5 million related to $16 million of impaired unfunded commercial lending commitments at December 31, 2006. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $538 million, $394 million and $617 million, respectively. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, $22 million, $26 million and $19 million, respectively, of interest income was recognized on loans while they were impaired. This income was recognized using the cash-basis method of accounting.

     At December 31, 2007, the Company had $62.0 billion of loans pledged as collateral for outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, $78.0 billion of loans pledged as collateral for the contingent ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank and $1.3 billion of loans pledged for other purposes.

     In connection with the merger with Golden West, the Company acquired a portfolio of Pick-a-Payment loans, a payment option mortgage product, and continues to originate this product. The majority of the Company’s Pick-a-Payment loans have an interest rate that changes monthly based on movements in certain indices. Interest rate changes and available options relating to monthly payments of principal and interest are subject to contractual limitations based on the Company’s lending policies. Negative amortization occurs, under an available option subject to certain limits, when the payment amount is less than the interest due on the loan. Borrowers may repay the deferred interest in whole or in part at any time. The amount of deferred interest related to all Pick-a-Payment loans was $3.1 billion at December 31, 2007 and $1.6 billion at December 31, 2006.

     At December 31, 2007, Pick-a-Payment loans represented 46 percent of the Company’s consumer loans and 25 percent of the Company’s total loans. Properties securing the Company’s Pick-a-Payment loans are concentrated primarily in California (59 percent) and Florida (10 percent). No other state concentration is more than 5 percent of total Pick-a-Payment loans.

STOCK PLANS

     The Company has stock option plans under which incentive and nonqualified stock options as well as restricted stock may be granted periodically to certain employees. The options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying shares at the date of grant, vest based on continued service with the Company for a specified period, generally three years to five years following the date of grant, and have a contractual life of ten years. The restricted stock generally vests over three years to five years, during which time the holder receives dividends and has full voting rights. Employee stock compensation expense was $574 million in 2007, including $455 million related to restricted stock awards and $119 million related to stock option awards. The related income tax benefit was $201 million. Employee stock compensation expense was $522 million in 2006, including $348 million related to restricted stock awards and $174 million related to stock option awards. The related income tax benefit was $183 million. Employee stock compensation expense was $333 million in 2005, including $230 million related to restricted stock awards and $103 million related to stock option awards. The related income tax benefit was $116 million. Employee stock compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, includes $94 million and $107 million, respectively, related to the impact of awards granted to employees who were retirement-eligible at the date of grant.

     Of the stock compensation awards in 2007, 2.4 million shares of restricted stock vest over five years if the Company achieved a specified return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity for 2007, otherwise these shares would be forfeited. The Company achieved the specified return for 2007.

104      Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

     At December 31, 2007, there was $519 million and $145 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock and stock options, respectively. Those costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years and 1.2 years, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock vested in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $364 million, $304 million and $350 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock option awards exercised in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $350 million, $448 million and $295 million, respectively. The amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options granted under share-based payment arrangements was $456 million in 2007, and the related income tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was $108 million. At December 31, 2007, the weighted average remaining contractual term and aggregate intrinsic value for options exercisable was 4.1 years and $356 million, respectively, and for options vested and expected to vest, 4.8 years and $366 million, respectively.

     On August 31, 2006, shareholder approval was received to reserve for issuance an additional 50 million shares of common stock. At December 31, 2007, the Company had authorization to reserve 105 million shares of its common stock for issuance under its stock option plans.

     The weighted average grant date fair values of options under the stock option plans were $9.10, $10.07 and $10.03 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The more significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock options in 2007, 2006 and 2005 include risk-free interest rates of 4.67 percent, 4.83 percent and 3.97 percent, respectively; expected dividend yields of 3.84 percent, 3.64 percent and 3.65 percent, respectively; expected volatility of the Company’s common stock of 17 percent in 2007, 19 percent in 2006 and 25 percent in 2005; and weighted average expected lives of the stock options of 7.0 years in 2007 and 2006 and 6.0 years in 2005. In 2007 and 2006, the Company calculated its volatility estimate from implied volatility of actively traded options on the Company’s common stock with remaining maturities of two years. This represents a change from prior years, in which the Company calculated its volatility estimate based on historical volatility adjusted for significant changes in the Company’s business activities. In 2007, the Company determined the estimated life based on historical stock option experience. In 2006, the Company used the simple average of the 10-year contractual term of the stock options and the vesting term (using an average of the 5-year graded vesting period) to determine estimated life. In years prior to 2006, the Company determined estimated life based on historical stock option experience.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

     Under the terms of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, a participating stockholder’s cash dividends and optional cash payments may be used to purchase the Company’s common stock. Common stock issued under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan was (in thousands): 1,936 shares, 1,585 shares and 1,673 shares in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In accordance with the terms of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, the common stock issued in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was purchased in the open market. At December 31, 2007, the Company had 7.8 million additional shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

TRANSACTIONS BY THE COMPANY IN ITS COMMON STOCK

     At December 31, 2007, the Company had the authority to repurchase up to 19 million shares of its common stock. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company repurchased 22 million, 82 million and 52 million shares, respectively, of common stock, at a cost of $1.2 billion, $4.5 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, in the open market, or in 2005 through the settlement of equity collars as noted below.

     In 2005, the Company recorded $15 million in net losses on equity collars in the results of operations. The cost of purchasing shares under these agreements was $365 million for 8 million shares. In 2007 and 2006, there were no equity collar transactions outstanding. Equity collars are financial instruments that involve the contemporaneous purchase of a call option and the sale of a put option to the same counterparty.

PREFERRED SHARES

     In December 2007, the Company issued 92 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of 8.00 percent non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock with a $1,000 liquidation preference per share. The shares may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, after December 14, 2017. This preferred stock qualifies for tier 1 capital treatment under risk-based capital guidelines.

     In connection with the merger of the former Wachovia, the Company issued 97 million shares of a new class of preferred stock entitled Dividend Equalization Preferred Shares (“DEPs”), which paid dividends equal to the difference between the last dividend paid by the former Wachovia of 30 cents per share and the common stock dividend declared by the Company. The Company’s total dividends for four consecutive quarters in 2003 equaled at least $1.20 per common share, and accordingly, there is no further requirement to pay dividends on the DEPs. The shares may be redeemed, at the Company’s option and with 30 days to 60 days prior notice, after December 31, 2021, for $0.01 per share.

SHAREHOLDER PROTECTION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     In accordance with a Shareholder Protection Rights Agreement, the Company issued a dividend of one right for each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of December 28, 2000, and they continue to attach to all common stock issued thereafter. The rights will become exercisable if any person or group either commences a tender or exchange offer that would result in their becoming the beneficial owner of 10 percent or more of the Company’s common stock or acquires beneficial ownership of 10 percent or more of the Company’s common stock. Once exercisable and upon a person or group acquiring 10 percent or more of the Company’s common stock, each right (other than rights owned by such person or group) will entitle its holder to purchase, for an exercise price of $105.00, a number of shares of the Company’s common stock (or at the option of the Board of Directors, shares of participating class A preferred stock) having a market value of twice the exercise price, and under certain conditions, common stock of an acquiring company having a market value of twice the exercise price. If any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 10 percent or more of the Company’s common stock, the Board of Directors may, at its option, exchange for each outstanding right (other than rights owned by such acquiring person or group) two shares of the Company’s common stock or participating Class A preferred stock having economic and voting terms similar to two shares of common stock. The rights are subject to adjustment if certain events occur, and they will initially expire on December 28, 2010, if not terminated sooner.

CAPITAL RATIOS

     Risk-based capital regulations require a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4 percent and a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8 percent. The minimum leverage ratio of tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets is from 3 percent to 4 percent. The regulations also provide that bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible assets. The Federal Reserve Board has indicated it will continue to consider a tangible tier 1 leverage ratio (deducting all intangibles) in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activity. The Federal Reserve Board has not advised the Company of any specific minimum leverage ratio applicable to it. Each subsidiary bank is subject to similar capital requirements. None of the Company’s subsidiary banks have been advised of any specific minimum capital ratios applicable to them.

     The regulatory agencies also have adopted regulations establishing capital tiers for banks. To be in the highest capital tier, or considered well capitalized, banks must have a leverage ratio of 5 percent, a tier 1 capital ratio of 6 percent and a total capital ratio of 10 percent.

     At December 31, 2007, the Company’s tier 1 capital ratio, total capital ratio and leverage ratio were 7.35 percent, 11.82 percent and 6.09 percent, respectively. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s tier 1 capital ratio, total capital ratio and leverage ratio were 7.42 percent, 11.33 percent and 6.01 percent, respectively. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s deposit-taking bank subsidiaries met the capital and leverage ratio requirements for well capitalized banks. The Company does not anticipate or foresee any conditions that would reduce these ratios to levels at or below minimum or that would cause its deposit-taking bank subsidiaries to be less than well capitalized.

NOTE 14: BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Company has five operating segments that by virtue of exceeding certain quantitative thresholds are reportable segments. The four core business segments are the General Bank, Wealth Management, the Corporate and Investment Bank, Capital Management, plus the Parent segment (“Parent”). The Company’s Capital Management segment includes 100 percent of the majority-owned retail brokerage entity. The minority interest is included in the Parent. Each of these reportable segments offers a different array of products and services. Business segment earnings are the primary measure of segment profit or loss that the Company uses to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. Business segment earnings are presented excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, other intangible amortization, minority interest expense, discontinued operations and changes in accounting principles. These items are included in the Parent. The Company believes that while these items apply to overall corporate operations, they are not meaningful to understanding or evaluating the performance of the Company’s individual business segments. The Company does not take these items into account as it manages business segment operations or allocates capital, and therefore, the Company’s operating segments exclude these items.

     The accounting policies of these reportable segments are the same as those of the Company as disclosed in Note 1, except as noted below. There are no significant reconciling items between the reportable segments and consolidated amounts. Certain amounts are not allocated to reportable segments, and as a result, they are included in the Parent as discussed below. Substantially all the Company’s revenues are earned from customers in the United States, and no single customer accounts for a significant amount of any reportable segment’s revenues.

     For segment reporting purposes, net interest income reflects tax-exempt interest income on a tax-equivalent basis. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The Company uses a management reporting model that includes methodologies for funds transfer pricing, allocation of economic capital, expected losses and cost transfers to measure business segment results. Exposure to market risk is managed centrally within the Parent. In order to remove interest rate risk from each core business segment, the management reporting model employs a funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) system. The FTP system matches the duration of the funding used by each segment to the duration of the assets and liabilities contained in each segment. Matching the duration, or the effective term until an instrument can be repriced, allocates interest income and/or interest expense to each segment so its resulting net interest income is insulated from interest rate risk. A risk-based methodology is used to allocate capital based on the credit, market and operational risks associated with each business segment. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the cost of capital was 11 percent.

     Intersegment revenues, or referral fees, are paid by the segment that distributes or services the product to the referring segment. The amount of the referral fee is based on comparable fees paid in the market or negotiated amounts that approximate the value provided by the selling segment. Cost transfers are made for services provided by one segment to another. Additionally, in 2007, 2006 and 2005, fee and other income in the Corporate and Investment Bank included $111 million, $137 million and $94 million, respectively, of fees related to certain corporate underwriting and structured products activities, which were eliminated in the Parent. Activity-based costing studies are continually being refined to better align expenses with products and their revenues.

     A provision for credit losses is allocated to each core business segment based on net charge-offs, and any difference between the total for all core segments and the consolidated provision for credit losses is recorded in the Parent. On certain consumer loans in the General Bank, loan origination fees are recognized when earned and direct loan origination costs are recognized when incurred, with the offsetting adjustments recorded in the Parent to defer and amortize such fees and costs. Certain loans in the General Bank are securitized and sold, but continue to be reported as loans in the General Bank, with the associated earnings. The Parent includes offsetting adjustments for these loans and related earnings. Income tax expense or benefit is generally allocated to each core business segment based on a statutory tax rate adjusted for items unique to each business segment. Any difference between the total for all core business segments and the consolidated amount is included in the Parent. Affordable housing results are recorded in Corporate and Investment Bank fee and other income, net of the related income tax benefit, and the income tax benefit is eliminated in the Parent.

     The Parent also includes certain nonrecurring revenue items; certain expenses that are not allocated to the business segments; corporate charges; and the results of businesses that have been divested or are being wound down and that are not material, and as such, are not presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, because merger-related and restructuring expenses are not allocated to the Company’s business segments, they are presented separately in the tables that follow.

     The Company continuously updates segment information for changes that occur in the management of the Company’s businesses. In 2007, the Company realigned the General Bank’s private advisory business to Wealth Management and the General Bank’s commercial real estate business to the Corporate Lending subsegment within the Corporate and Investment Bank. Also, cross-border leasing activity was moved from the Corporate and Investment Bank to the Parent to keep it aligned with the way in which this activity is reported to senior management subsequent to the adoption of FSP 13-2, which is described in Notes 1 and 6. Additionally, certain intercompany fee arrangements between Capital Management and the Parent were discontinued and the reporting of MSR hedging results were realigned such that, beginning in 2007, all volatility associated with MSRs is now reported in the Parent. The impact of these and other changes to 2006 segment earnings as reported at December 31, 2006, was a $626 million decrease in the General Bank, a $35 million increase in Wealth Management, a $493 million increase in the Corporate and Investment Bank, a $20 million decrease in Capital Management and a $118 million increase in the Parent. The impact of these and other changes to 2005 segment earnings as reported at December 31, 2006, was a $581 million decrease in the General Bank, a $46 million increase in Wealth Management, a $405 million increase in the Corporate and Investment Bank, a $17 million decrease in Capital Management and a $147 million increase in the Parent.

NOTE 15: PERSONNEL EXPENSE AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS

     The Company has a savings plan under which eligible employees are permitted to make contributions to the plan of one percent to 30 percent of eligible compensation. Annually, upon executive management approval, employee contributions may be matched up to 6 percent of the employee’s eligible compensation. A 6 percent matching level was in place for each of the periods presented. The first one percent of the Company’s matching contribution is made in the Company’s common stock. Each employee can immediately elect to liquidate the Company’s common stock credited to the employee’s account by transferring the value of the common stock to any of a number of investment options available within the savings plan. Savings plan expense in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $292 million, $240 million and $228 million, respectively.

     Group insurance expense for active employees in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $513 million, $414 million and $406 million, respectively.

     The Company has a noncontributory, tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan (the “Qualified Pension”) covering the majority of employees that have at least one year of service and that have reached the age of 21. The Qualified Pension benefit expense is determined by an actuarial valuation, and it is based on assumptions that are evaluated annually. Contributions are made each year to a trust in an amount that is determined by the actuary to meet the minimum requirements of ERISA and to fall at or below the maximum amount that can be deducted on the Company’s tax return. The projected unit credit valuation method is used to determine the liabilities of the Qualified Pension.

     The Company has noncontributory, nonqualified pension plans (the “Nonqualified Pension”) covering certain employees. The Nonqualified Pension benefit expense is determined annually by an actuarial valuation. At September 30, 2007 and 2006, the accumulated benefit obligation of $345 million and $376 million, respectively, exceeded the accrued benefit expense.

     The Company also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees (the “Other Postretirement Benefits”). Substantially all the Company’s employees may become eligible for Other Postretirement Benefits if they reach retirement age while working for the Company.

     In May 2003, the Company amended the Qualified Pension to convert to a cash balance plan effective January 1, 2008. Through December 31, 2007, benefits continued to be earned and paid in accordance with provisions of the current Qualified Pension. At the same time, the Company amended certain provisions related to Other Postretirement Benefits effective January 1, 2008.

     SFAS 158 amended several existing pronouncements that address employers’ accounting and reporting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans and represents the initial phase of a comprehensive project on employers’ accounting for these plans. SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans, measured solely as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, as an asset or liability on the balance sheet. Unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized prior service costs, which previously were recorded as part of the postretirement asset or liability, are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and credits that arise during a period are included in other comprehensive income to the extent they are not included in net periodic pension cost (a component of salaries and employee benefits expense). The Company adopted SFAS 158 on its effective date of December 31, 2006, and the incremental effect included in certain balance sheet classifications at December 31, 2006, was a reduction in other assets of $972 million, an increase in other liabilities of $114 million and a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income, net, of $1.1 billion. During 2007, $533 million of net actuarial gains and $249 million of reductions in prior service cost due to plan amendments were recognized in other comprehensive income associated with the Company’s Qualified Pension and Nonqualified Pension. In addition, $64 million of net actuarial gains were recognized in other comprehensive income associated with the Company’s Other Postretirement Benefits. SFAS 158 also requires employers to use a plan measurement date that is the same as its fiscal year-end. The Company has historically used a measurement date of September 30, and will be required to change to a December 31 measurement date by no later than December 31, 2008. The Company plans to change its measurement date using the alternative provided in SFAS 158 where the September 30, 2007, measurement establishes a 15-month cost, three-fifteenths of which is recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings during 2008.

     The actual asset allocation of the Company’s Qualified Pension plan, which is held by Wachovia Bank in a bank-administered trust fund, and of the Other Postretirement Benefits plans at September 30, 2007 and 2006, are presented on the following page.

     The discount rate used to determine the benefit obligation is established at an amount that reflects the rate of return on a portfolio of high-quality bonds with maturities matching the projected future cash flows of the plan (commonly referred to as a yield-curve approach).

     The expected return on plan assets used in the annual valuation is established at an amount that reflects the targeted asset allocation and expected returns for each component of the plan assets. The rate is reviewed annually and adjusted as appropriate to reflect changes in expected market performance or in targeted asset allocation ranges. The Company’s investment objective relating to Qualified Pension assets is to have a portfolio of assets adequate to support the liability associated with the Qualified Pension defined benefit obligation. The Company uses an asset allocation strategy to achieve this objective, focusing on return objectives over the long-term period associated with the benefit obligation. The current targeted range for asset allocation is 67 percent to 73 percent in equity securities and 27 percent to 33 percent in debt securities and cash. Rebalancing occurs on a periodic basis to maintain the targeted allocation, but normal market activity may result in deviations. While the investment objective is based on the long-term nature of the Qualified Pension, the Company uses certain measurements on rolling five-year periods to assess asset results and manager performance.

     Actuarial calculations are performed annually to determine the minimum required contributions and maximum contributions allowed as an income tax deduction for all benefit plans. In 2007, the Company contributed $270 million to the Qualified Pension plan. The Company does not expect to make any contributions to the Qualified Pension plan in 2008.

     The components of the retirement benefit costs included in salaries and employee benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, are presented below.

     At December 31, 2007, the effect of a one percentage point increase or decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate on service and interest costs is a $3 million increase and a $2 million decrease, respectively, and on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, a $31 million increase and a $28 million decrease, respectively.

     Estimated future Qualified Pension benefit payments that reflect expected future service in each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2007, are as follows (in millions): 2008, $324; 2009, $342; 2010, $356; 2011, $373; 2012, $394; and subsequent years through 2018, $2.1 billion; and estimated payments for other pension and postretirement benefits (in millions): 2008, $96; 2009, $96; 2010, $96; 2011, $97; 2012, $96; and subsequent years through 2018, $483. Amortization of net actuarial losses and prior service cost for the Qualified Pension plan expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit cost in 2008 are $77 million and $(46) million, respectively, and for the Nonqualified Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits plans, $4 million and $(1) million, respectively.

     Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The sources and tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, are presented below.

     The realization of deferred income tax assets may be based on the utilization of carrybacks to prior taxable periods, the anticipation of future taxable income in certain periods and the utilization of tax planning strategies. The Company has determined it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets can be supported by carrybacks to federal taxable income in the two-year federal carryback period and by expected future taxable income that will exceed amounts necessary to fully realize remaining deferred income tax assets resulting from net operating loss carryforwards and from the scheduling of temporary differences. The valuation allowance primarily relates to certain state temporary differences and to state net operating loss carryforwards. Unrealized gains (losses) on pension and other postretirement benefits are reflected net of a $35 million and $75 million valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

     The operating results of the Parent Company and its eligible subsidiaries are included in a consolidated federal income tax return. Each subsidiary included in the consolidated federal income tax return pays its allocation of federal income taxes to the Parent Company or receives payment from the Parent Company to the extent income tax benefits are realized. Various subsidiaries not eligible for inclusion in the Parent Company’s consolidated federal income tax returns are included in separate consolidated federal income tax returns with other non-eligible subsidiaries. Where federal or state income tax laws do not permit consolidated or combined income tax returns, applicable separate company federal or state income tax returns are filed, and payment, if any, is remitted directly to the federal or state governments.

     Federal income tax carryforwards at December 31, 2007, consisted of net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards with related deferred income tax assets of $351 million and $46 million, respectively. Utilization of these net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards is subject to limitations under federal income tax laws, and will expire, if not utilized, in varying amounts through 2027.

     State income tax carryforwards at December 31, 2007, consisted of net operating loss carryforwards with related deferred income tax assets of $86 million. These state income tax carryforwards were generated by certain subsidiaries in various jurisdictions and their utilization is subject to limitations under various state income tax laws. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire, if not utilized, in varying amounts through 2027.

     At December 31, 2007, the Company has undistributed earnings of $1.2 billion related to foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely and has not recorded any related federal or state income tax expense. If these earnings are repatriated to the United States, the Company will record additional income tax expense of $474 million.

     The Company has a tax bad debt reserve, of which $252 million at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, was attributable to pre-1988 tax years. The amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability related thereto is $88 million at those dates. This deferred income tax liability may be subject to recognition if certain distributions are made with respect to stock, or the bad debt reserve is used for any purpose other than for absorbing bad debt losses.

     Income tax expense related to securities transactions was $59 million, $66 million and $85 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     FIN 48, which became effective on January 1, 2007, clarifies the accounting for uncertain income tax positions. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a decrease of $69 million in income tax reserves for uncertain income tax positions. Of this amount, $4 million was accounted for as a reduction to beginning retained earnings and $73 million as a reduction to goodwill.

118      Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report

     At adoption, the Company had $2.5 billion of gross unrecognized income tax benefits (UTBs), including $1.3 billion of UTBs attributed to income tax on timing differences and $816 million of UTBs, net of deferred federal and state income tax benefits, that would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The tax on timing items relates to income tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but the timing of the deductibility is uncertain. The income tax liability for the change in the period of deduction would not impact the effective tax rate.

     A reconciliation of the change in the UTB balance from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007, is as follows:

Total UTBs that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate as of December 31, 2007	$	652			411			1,063			(233	)		830

     The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to UTBs in the effective tax rate. The Company recognized $122 million in interest in 2007. The balance of accrued interest and penalties for the year ended December 31, 2007, is presented in the above table.

     The IRS and the Company have settled all issues related to the Company’s federal income tax returns for 1999 and all prior years. In addition, all issues related to the federal income tax returns of the former Wachovia for years 1996 through 2001, SouthTrust for 2004 and prior years, Golden West for 2004 and prior years, and A.G. Edwards for February 28, 2005, and prior years are resolved or closed. The Company’s previously recorded income tax liabilities were sufficient to cover the resulting assessments of income taxes and interest.

     On March 30, 2007, the IRS issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) for the years 2000 through 2002 challenging certain deductions claimed by the Company, including deductions related to its leveraged leasing activities. The Company believes the proposed adjustments are inconsistent with existing law and intends to vigorously defend the claimed deductions. In the first quarter of 2007, based on the issuance of the RAR, the Company updated its analysis of various uncertain income tax positions identified at January 1, 2007, resulting in a net reduction of $112 million to the UTB balance. In the second quarter of 2007, the Company made a cash payment to the IRS related to the RAR, which resulted in a net reduction of $51 million to the UTB balance. Resolution of the appeal of unagreed issues is not expected to occur within the next twelve months.

     The IRS began an examination of the Company for tax years 2003 through 2005. The IRS is also examining tax returns of certain non-consolidated subsidiaries for the years 2001-2006. The federal income tax returns of A.G. Edwards for years ending February 2006, February 2007 and period ending October 1, 2007, are being examined. Resolution of these items is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

     In addition to the IRS examinations, the Company and its subsidiaries are currently subject to examination by various other taxing authorities. While it is possible that one or more of these examinations may be resolved within the next twelve months, the Company does not anticipate that there will be a significant impact to the UTB balance. The expiration of statutes of limitations for various jurisdictions is expected to reduce the UTB balance by an insignificant amount within the next twelve months.

     During the second quarter of 2007, the Company completed its analysis of certain acquired entities and reduced related income tax reserves by $85 million, offset by a reduction to goodwill.

     Management monitors changes in tax statutes and regulations and the issuance of judicial decisions to determine the potential impact to uncertain income tax positions. In 2007, the Department of Treasury issued proposed regulations that, when issued in final form, could limit a company’s ability to retain the benefit of certain foreign tax credits. Management believes these regulations will not have a significant impact on the Company when issued in final form. At December 31, 2007, management had identified no potential subsequent events that are expected to have a significant impact on the UTB balance within the next twelve months.

NOTE 19: DERIVATIVES

     The Company uses derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk to generate profits from proprietary trading and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. Derivative transactions are measured in terms of the notional amount, but this amount is not recorded on the balance sheet and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the instruments. The notional amount is not exchanged, but is used only as the basis on which interest and other payments are determined.

     All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values with realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded either in other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes, or in the results of operations, depending on the purpose for which the derivative is held. Derivatives include accounting hedges, trading derivatives and economic hedges. Accounting hedges are those derivatives that are designated in a hedging relationship and that are termed “derivatives used for risk management” as discussed below, and are included in other assets or other liabilities. Those derivatives that are held for trading purposes are considered trading derivatives and are included in trading account assets or liabilities. Economic hedges are freestanding derivatives entered into for certain risk management purposes that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge for accounting purposes and are included in other assets or other liabilities.

     For derivatives, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is measured by the current fair value of all derivatives in a gain position plus a prudent estimate of potential change in value over the life of each contract. The measurement of the potential future exposure is based on a simulation of market rates and generally takes into account legally enforceable risk mitigating agreements for each obligor such as netting and collateral.

     The Company uses collateral arrangements, credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures to manage credit risk on derivatives. Bilateral collateral agreements are in place for substantially all dealer counterparties. Collateral for dealer transactions is delivered by either party when the credit risk associated with a particular transaction, or group of transactions to the extent netting exists, exceeds defined thresholds of credit risk. Thresholds are determined based on the strength of the individual counterparty. For non-dealer transactions, the need for collateral is evaluated on an individual transaction basis, and it is primarily dependent on the financial strength of the counterparty. At December 31, 2007, the total market value-related credit risk recorded on the balance sheet for derivative transactions, including derivatives used for the Company’s interest rate risk management, was $17.6 billion, including the effect of netting agreements. Of this amount, $3.3 billion exceeded dealer counterparty thresholds and was delivered to the Company as collateral.

DERIVATIVES USED FOR RISK MANAGEMENT

     The Company may designate a derivative as either an accounting hedge of the fair value of a recognized fixed rate asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value” hedge), an accounting hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of future cash flows of a floating rate asset or liability (“cash flow” hedge), or a foreign currency fair value or cash flow hedge (“foreign currency” hedge). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded as other fee income in the results of operations. To the extent of the effectiveness of a hedge, changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of income taxes. For all hedge relationships, ineffectiveness resulting from differences between the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item and changes in fair value of the derivative are recognized as other fee income in the results of operations. Net interest settlements on derivatives designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are treated as an adjustment to the interest income or interest expense of the hedged assets or liabilities.

Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report     121

Audited Financial Statements

     Concurrent with entering into a transaction that qualifies as an accounting hedge, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship, the risk management objective and the strategy for entering into the hedge. This process and documentation include identification of the hedging instrument, hedged item, risk being hedged and the methodology for assessing effectiveness and measuring ineffectiveness.

     For cash flow hedges, the designated hedged risk is primarily the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate of the hedged item or forecasted transactions. For cash flow hedges, the Company uses regression analysis to make the initial assessment of the expectation of hedge effectiveness, and for each monthly period thereafter to reassess that the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective during the period designated as being hedged. The Company also uses regression analysis to perform the retrospective evaluation of whether the derivative was effective during the hedged period. The regression analysis includes an evaluation of the quantitative measures of regression necessary to validate the conclusion of high effectiveness. The Company uses the hypothetical derivative method of measuring the hedge ineffectiveness, which is recorded on a monthly basis. Forward purchase commitments of loans and securities available for sale are considered all-in-one hedges for which the prospective and retrospective evaluations are performed through matching terms at inception and on a monthly basis.

     For fair value hedges, the designated hedged risk is primarily the risk of changes in fair value attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate of the hedged item or transactions. For fair value hedges, the Company assesses the expectation of effectiveness at the inception of the hedge and at each monthly period thereafter by analyzing the price sensitivity of the hedging instrument relative to that of the hedged item for changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk. On a monthly basis, the Company uses the cumulative dollar-offset approach to validate the effectiveness of the hedge on a retrospective basis. The Company measures ongoing ineffectiveness for fair value hedges by comparing the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument to the changes in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Fair value hedges of warehoused residential mortgage loans are designated and de-designated on a daily basis, and the frequency of the prospective, retrospective and actual ineffectiveness tests follows the hedge period. Forward sale commitments of securities available for sale share the same issuer, coupon rate and contractual maturity date as the hedged item; therefore, the prospective and retrospective evaluations are performed through matching terms at inception and on a monthly basis.

     The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when either it is determined that the derivative is no longer highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; the derivative is de-designated because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur; or management determines designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative is either terminated or reclassified as a trading account asset or liability. When a fair value hedge is discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted as an adjustment to yield over the remaining life of the asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transaction are still expected to occur, unrealized gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are included in the results of operations in the same period when the results of operations are also affected by the hedged cash flow. The unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the results of operations immediately if the cash flow hedge was discontinued because a forecasted transaction is not expected to occur. In 2007 and 2006, losses of $25 million and $4 million, respectively, were recognized in other fee income representing the ineffective portion of the net gains (losses) on derivatives that qualify as cash flow and fair value hedges. These amounts include the time value of options. In addition, net interest income in 2007 and 2006, was decreased by $12 million and $17 million, respectively, representing ineffectiveness of cash flow hedges caused by differences between the critical terms of the derivative and the hedged item, primarily differences in reset dates. The Company recognized $93 million in other fee income in 2006, representing amounts recorded in other comprehensive income relating to a hedging relationship that had been discontinued in a prior year. Effective April 1, 2007, the Company discontinued hedge accounting on certain variable rate demand deposits that have no stated maturity.

     Commitments to purchase certain securities or loans and certain commitments to sell loans are derivatives. At inception, these commitments may be designated in a hedge relationship; otherwise, they are recorded as either trading derivatives or economic hedges depending upon their purpose. In the normal course of business the Company enters into contracts that contain a derivative that is embedded in the financial instrument. If applicable, an embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and can be designated in a hedge relationship; otherwise, it is recorded as a freestanding derivative and recorded as either a trading derivative or an economic hedge depending upon its purpose. The Company enters into credit derivative agreements in connection with altering the risk profile of certain loans or pools of loans in the Company’s loan portfolio. These credit derivatives do not meet the criteria for designation as an accounting hedge and are recorded as either trading derivatives or economic hedges depending upon their purpose. The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments as part of its commercial and consumer mortgage lending activities. These loan commitments are initially recorded at fair value. Subsequent adjustments in the value of the loan commitment are primarily related to changes in interest rates, changes in the probability that a commitment will be exercised and the passage of time. The estimate of fair value specifically excludes the value of servicing cash flows and excess servicing.

(a) Includes only derivative financial instruments related to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk management activities that have been designated and accounted for as accounting hedges.

(b) Represents the fair value of derivative financial instruments less accrued interest receivable or payable less unamortized premium or discount.

(c) At December 31, 2007, the net unrealized loss on derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a component of stockholders’ equity, was $199 million, net of income taxes. Of this net of tax amount, a $43 million gain represents the effective portion of the net gains (losses) on interest rate derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges and a $242 million loss relates to terminated and/or redesignated derivatives. At December 31, 2007, $179 million of net losses, net of income taxes, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, is expected to be reclassified as interest income or expense during the next twelve months. The maximum length of time over which cash flow hedges are hedging the variability in future cash flows associated with the forecasted transactions is 18.34 years. At December 31, 2006, the net unrealized loss on derivatives included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $355 million, net of income taxes. Of this net of tax amount, a $124 million loss represents the effective portion of the net gains (losses) on interest rate derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, and a $231 million loss relates to terminated and/or redesignated derivatives.

(d) Estimated maturity approximates average life.

(e) At December 31, 2007, such swaps are denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling and Australian dollars in the notional amounts of $26.7 billion, $1.8 billion, $2.9 billion and $307 million respectively, and the hedged risk is the benchmark interest rate.

Audited Financial Statements

NOTE 20: COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES

     In the normal course of business, the Company engages in a variety of transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers, to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to conduct lending activities. These transactions principally include lending commitments, other commitments and guarantees. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

LENDING COMMITMENTS

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, and they may require payment of a fee by the counterparty. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

     Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit are issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions, and to also assist customers in obtaining long-term tax-exempt funding through municipal bond issues. In the event the bonds are sold back prior to their maturity and cannot be remarketed, in certain conditions, the Company would be obligated to provide funding to finance the repurchase of the bonds. Commercial letters of credit are issued to support international and domestic trade.

     The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty for commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments. The Company holds various assets as collateral to support those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The Company uses the same credit policies in entering into commitments and conditional obligations as it does for loans. Except for short-term commitments and letters of credit of $26.0 billion, commitments and letters of credit extend for more than one year, and they expire in varying amounts through 2030. See Note 22 for information related to the notional amount and fair value of lending commitments and letters of credit.

OTHER COMMITMENTS

     In the normal course of business, the Company enters into underwriting commitments. Transactions relating to these underwriting commitments that were open at December 31, 2007, and subsequently settled, had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

     Minimum lease payments under leases classified as operating leases due in each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2007, are as follows (in millions): 2008, $886; 2009, $849; 2010, $1.7 billion; 2011, $634; 2012, $771; and subsequent years, $2.9 billion. Total minimum future lease receipts due from noncancelable subleases on operating leases are $649 million. Minimum lease payments under leases classified as capital leases due in each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2007, are as follows (in millions): 2008, $3; 2009, $2; 2010, $2; 2011, $2; 2012, $2; and subsequent years, $2 million. Rental expense for all operating leases was $989 million, $905 million and $809 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     The Company has commitments to make investments as part of its Principal Investing business and as part of its involvement in low income housing partnerships. At December 31, 2007, these commitments were $546 million and $425 million, respectively.

     The Federal Reserve Board requires the Company’s bank subsidiaries to maintain reserve balances based on a percentage of certain deposits, which may be satisfied by the Company’s vault cash. At December 31, 2007, average daily reserve balances, including contractually obligated clearing balances required by the Federal Reserve Board, amounted to $323 million.

GUARANTEES

     Guarantees are contracts that contingently require the Company to make payments to a guaranteed party based on an event or a change in an underlying asset, liability, rate or index. Guarantees are generally in the form of securities lending indemnifications, standby letters of credit, liquidity agreements, recourse obligations and residual value guarantees. The carrying amount and the maximum risk of loss of the Company’s guarantees are presented on the following page.

     As a securities lending agent, client securities are loaned, on a fully collateralized basis, to third party broker/dealers. The Company indemnifies its clients against broker default and supports these guarantees with collateral that is marked to market daily. The Company generally requires cash or other highly liquid collateral from the broker/dealer. At December 31, 2007, there was $60.8 billion in collateral supporting the $59.2 billion loaned. There is no carrying amount associated with these agreements.

     As discussed more fully in Note 5, the Company provides liquidity facilities on all commercial paper issued by the conduit it administers. The Company had a maximum exposure to losses of $26.1 billion, including unfunded commitments, related to its liquidity facility at December 31, 2007. In 2007, the Company purchased $656 million of residential subprime mortgage assets from the conduit pursuant to its obligations under the liquidity facility, all of which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2007. The difference between the purchase price and the estimated fair value of the assets of $566 thousand was absorbed by the conduit’s third party subordinated note holder.

     The Company provides liquidity to certain third party commercial paper conduits whereby the Company is obligated to purchase an interest in certain assets that are financed by the conduits, including situations where the conduits are unable to issue commercial paper to finance those assets.

     The Company provides liquidity to certain CDO, fixed rate municipal bond, consumer and commercial mortgage-backed securitization transactions that are partially funded with the issuance of money market and other short-term notes. The Company has entered into arrangements with these unconsolidated entities that obligate the Company to provide liquidity to these entities in the event the entities cannot obtain funding in the market. In the event that the money market or short-term notes issued by the unconsolidated entities cannot be remarketed, the Company could be required to purchase such notes at their then outstanding principal amount.

     At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the total notional amount of the Company’s liquidity commitments to third party conduits and other securitization transactions was $10.8 billion and $13.4 billion, respectively. In 2007, in connection with these agreements, the Company purchased $1.6 billion of assets on which it recorded a net loss of $42 million.

     In some loan sales or securitizations, the Company provides recourse to the buyer that requires the Company to repurchase loans at par plus accrued interest upon the occurrence of certain events, which are generally credit related within a certain period of time. The maximum risk of loss represents the outstanding principal balance of the loans sold or securitized with recourse provisions but the likelihood of the repurchase of the entire balance is remote and a significant portion of the amount repurchased would be recovered from the sale of the underlying collateral. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not repurchase a significant amount of loans associated with these agreements.

     Certain of the Company’s derivative transactions recorded as trading liabilities give the counterparty the right to sell to the Company an underlying instrument held by the counterparty at a specified price. These written put contracts generally permit net settlement and include credit default swaps, and equity and currency put options. While these derivative transactions expose the Company to risk in the event the option is exercised, the Company manages this risk by entering into offsetting trades or by taking short positions in the underlying instrument. Additionally, for certain of these contracts, the Company requires the counterparty to pledge the underlying instrument as collateral for the transaction.

Audited Financial Statements

     Some contracts the Company enters into in the normal course of business include indemnification provisions that obligate the Company to make payments to the counterparty or others in the event certain events occur. These contingencies generally relate to changes in the value of underlying assets, liabilities or equity securities or upon the occurrence of events, such as an adverse litigation judgment or an adverse interpretation of tax law.

     The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms and were entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss would be remote. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company was not required to make any significant payments under indemnification clauses. Since there are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses and the contingencies triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur, the Company is not able to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification clauses. There are no amounts reflected on the balance sheet at December 31, 2007 and 2006, related to these indemnifications.

     As part of the Company’s acquisition activity, the Company often negotiates terms in which a portion of the purchase price is contingent on future events, typically related to the acquired businesses meeting revenue or profitability targets. The additional consideration may be cash or stock. Contingent consideration is paid when the contingency is resolved and it is recorded as additional goodwill. At December 31, 2007, the Company had $101 million in cash and no common stock committed under such agreements that will be paid through 2011 if the contingencies are met.

NOTE 21: LITIGATION AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS

     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising from the conduct of its business activities. These proceedings include actions brought against the Company and/or its subsidiaries with respect to transactions in which the Company and/or its subsidiaries acted as banker, lender, underwriter, financial advisor or broker or in activities related thereto. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries may be requested to provide information or otherwise cooperate with governmental authorities in the conduct of investigations of other persons or industry groups. It is the Company’s policy to cooperate in all regulatory inquiries and investigations.

     Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, the Company and/or its subsidiaries have generally denied, or believe the Company has a meritorious defense and will deny, liability in all significant litigation pending against the Company and/or its subsidiaries, including the matters described below, and the Company intends to defend vigorously each such case. Reserves are established for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts reserved for those claims. In 2007, the Company recognized $387 million of expense related to litigation and regulatory proceedings.

     In the Matter of KPMG LLP Certain Auditor Independence Issues. The SEC has requested the Company to produce certain information concerning any agreements or understandings by which the Company referred clients to KPMG LLP during the period January 1, 1997 to November 2003 in connection with an inquiry regarding the independence of KPMG LLP as the Company’s outside auditors during such period. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the SEC in its inquiry, which is being conducted pursuant to a formal order of investigation entered by the SEC on October 21, 2003. The Company believes the SEC’s inquiry relates to certain tax services offered to the Company’s customers by KPMG LLP during the period from 1997 to early 2002, and whether these activities might have caused KPMG LLP not to be “independent” from the Company, as defined by applicable accounting and SEC regulations requiring auditors of an SEC-reporting company to be independent of the company. The Company and/or KPMG LLP received fees in connection with a small number of personal financial consulting transactions related to these services. KPMG LLP has confirmed to the Company that during all periods covered by the SEC’s inquiry, including the present, KPMG LLP was and is “independent” from the Company under applicable accounting and SEC regulations.

     Financial Advisor Wage/Hour Class Action Litigation. Wachovia Securities, LLC, the Company’s retail securities brokerage subsidiary, is a defendant in multiple state and nationwide putative class actions alleging unpaid overtime wages and improper wage deductions for financial advisors. In December 2006 and January 2007, related cases pending in U.S. District courts in several states were consolidated for case administrative purposes in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California pursuant to two orders of the Multi-District Litigation Panel. There is an additional case alleging a statewide class under California law, which is currently pending in Superior Court in Los Angeles County, California. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in these lawsuits, which are part of an industry trend of related wage/hour class action litigation, and intends to defend vigorously the cases.

     Adelphia Litigation. Certain affiliates of the Company are defendants in an adversary proceeding previously pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York related to the bankruptcy of Adelphia Communications Corporation (“Adelphia”). In February 2006, an order was entered moving the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in Adelphia’s bankruptcy case has filed claims on behalf of Adelphia against over 300 financial services companies, including the Company’s affiliates. The complaint asserts claims against the defendants under state law, bankruptcy law and the Bank Holding Company Act and seeks equitable relief and an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. The Official Committee of Equity Security Holders has sought leave to intervene in that complaint and sought leave to bring additional claims against certain of the financial services companies, including the Company’s affiliates, including additional federal and state claims. On August 30, 2005, the bankruptcy court granted the creditors’ committee and the equity holders’ committee standing to proceed with their claims. On June 11, 2007, the court granted in part and denied in part the motions to dismiss filed by the Company and other defendants. On July 11, 2007, the Company and other defendants requested leave to appeal the partial denial of the motions to dismiss. On January 17, 2008, the district court affirmed the decision of the bankruptcy court on the motion to dismiss with the exception that it dismissed one additional claim.

     In addition, certain affiliates of the Company, together with numerous other financial services companies, have been named in several private civil actions by investors in Adelphia debt and/or equity securities, alleging among other claims, misstatements in connection with Adelphia securities offerings between 1997 and 2001. The Company’s affiliates acted as an underwriter in certain of those securities offerings, as agent and/or lender for certain Adelphia credit facilities, and as a provider of Adelphia’s treasury/cash management services. These complaints, which seek unspecified damages, have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In separate orders entered in May and July 2005, the District Court dismissed a number of the securities law claims asserted against the Company, leaving some securities law claims pending. The Company still has a pending motion to dismiss with respect to these claims. On June 15, 2006, the District Court signed the preliminary order with respect to a proposed settlement of the securities class action pending against the Company and the other financial services companies. At a fairness hearing on the settlement on November 10, 2006, the District Court approved the settlement. The Company’s share of the settlement, $1.173 million, was paid in November 2006. The other private civil actions have not been settled.

     Le-Nature’s, Inc. Wachovia Bank, N.A. is the administrative agent on a $285 million credit facility extended to Le-Nature’s, Inc. in September 2006, of which approximately $270 million was syndicated to other lenders by Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC as Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner. Le-Nature’s was the subject of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition which was converted to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in November 2006 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania following a report by a court-appointed custodian in a proceeding in Delaware that revealed fraud and significant accounting irregularities on the part of Le-Nature’s management, including maintenance of a dual set of financial records. On March 14, 2007, the Company filed an action against several hedge funds in Superior Court for the State of North Carolina entitled Wachovia Bank, National Association and Wachovia Capital Markets LLC v. Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. et al. , alleging that the hedge fund defendants had acquired a significant quantity of the outstanding debt with full knowledge of the Le Nature’s fraud and with the intention of pursuing alleged fraud and other tort claims against the Company purportedly related to its role in the Le-Nature’s credit facility. The assertion of such claims would constitute a violation of North Carolina’s legal and public policy prohibitions on champerty and maintenance. A preliminary injunction has been entered by the Court that, among other things, prohibits defendants from asserting any such claims in any other forum, but allowing these defendants to bring any claims they believe they possess against the Company as compulsory counterclaims in the North Carolina action. On September 18, 2007, these defendants filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wachovia Capital Markets LLC, a third party and two members of Le-Nature’s management asserting claims arising under federal RICO laws. Three original purchasers of the debt also joined the action and asserted various tort claims, including fraud. The Company has filed a motion in the North Carolina court seeking to have these defendants held in contempt for violating the preliminary injunction and is seeking dismissal of the New York action. The Company, which itself was victimized by the Le-Nature’s fraud, will pursue its rights against Le-Nature’s and in this litigation vigorously.

     Interchange Litigation. Wachovia Bank, N.A. and the Company are named as defendants in seven putative class actions filed on behalf of a plaintiff class of merchants with regard to the interchange fees associated with Visa and Mastercard payment card transactions. These actions have been consolidated with more than 40 other actions, which did not name the Company as a defendant, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Visa, Mastercard and several banks and bank holding companies are named as defendants in various of these actions, which were consolidated before the Court pursuant to orders of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. The amended and consolidated complaint asserts claims against defendants based on alleged violations of federal and state antitrust laws and seeks damages, as well as injunctive relief. Plaintiff merchants allege that Visa, Mastercard and their member banks unlawfully collude to set interchange fees. Plaintiffs also allege that enforcement of certain Visa and Mastercard rules and alleged tying and bundling of services offered to merchants are anticompetitive. The payment card association defendants and banking defendants are aggressively defending the consolidated action. The Company, along with other members of Visa, is a party to Loss and Judgment Sharing Agreements, which provide that the Company, along with other member banks of Visa, will share, based on a formula, in any losses in connection with certain litigation specified in the Agreements, including the Interchange Litigation. On November 7, 2007, Visa announced that it had reached a settlement with American Express in connection with certain litigation which is covered by the Company’s obligations as a Visa member bank and by the Loss Sharing Agreement.

     Payment Processing Center. On February 17, 2006, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania filed a civil fraud complaint against a former Wachovia Bank, N.A. customer, Payment Processing Center (“PPC”). PPC was a third party payment processor for telemarketing and catalogue companies. On April 12, 2007, a civil class action, Faloney et al. v. Wachovia, was filed against Wachovia in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by a putative class of consumers who made purchases through telemarketer customers of PPC. The suit alleges that between April 1, 2005 and February 21, 2006, the Company conspired with PPC to facilitate PPC’s purported violation of RICO. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is conducting a formal investigation of the Company’s handling of the PPC account relationship and of five other customers engaged in similar businesses. The Company is vigorously defending the civil lawsuit and is cooperating with government officials in the investigations of PPC and the Company’s handling of the PPC customer relationship.

     Municipal Derivatives Bid Practices Investigation. The Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the SEC, beginning in November 2006, have been requesting information from a number of financial institutions, including Wachovia Bank, N.A.’s municipal derivatives group, generally with regard to competitive bid practices in the municipal derivative markets. In connection with these inquiries, Wachovia Bank, N.A. has received subpoenas from both the DOJ and SEC seeking documents and information. The DOJ and the SEC have advised Wachovia Bank, N.A. that they believe certain of its employees engaged in improper conduct in conjunction with certain competitively bid transactions and, in November 2007, the DOJ notified two Wachovia Bank, N.A. employees, both of whom are on administrative leave, that they are regarded as targets of the DOJ’s investigation. Wachovia Bank, N.A. has been cooperating and continues to fully cooperate with the government investigations.

     Other Regulatory Matters. Governmental and self-regulatory authorities have instituted numerous ongoing investigations of various practices in the securities and mutual fund industries, including those discussed in the Company’s previous filings with the SEC and those relating to sales practices and record retention. The investigations cover advisory companies to mutual funds, broker-dealers, hedge funds and others. The Company has received subpoenas and other requests for documents and testimony relating to the investigations, is endeavoring to comply with those requests, is cooperating with the investigations, and where appropriate, is engaging in discussions to resolve the investigations. The Company is continuing its own internal review of policies, practices, procedures and personnel, and is taking remedial action where appropriate.

     Outlook. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage and established reserves, the Company believes that the eventual outcome of the actions against the Company and/or its subsidiaries, including the matters described above, will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of those matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company’s results of operations for any particular period.

     The fair values of performing loans for all portfolio loans were calculated by discounting estimated cash flows through expected maturity dates using estimated market yields that reflect the credit and interest rate risks inherent in each category of loans, and prepayment assumptions. Estimated fair values for the commercial loan portfolio were based on weighted average discount rates ranging from 4.35 percent to 13.48 percent and 5.37 percent to 8.93 percent at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and for the consumer loan portfolio from 6.10 percent to 11.62 percent and 6.77 percent to 12.65 percent, respectively. For performing residential mortgage loans, fair values were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses utilizing yields for similar mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of nonperforming loans were calculated by discounting estimated cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risk associated with the cash flows.

     The fair values of noninterest-bearing deposits, savings and NOW accounts, and money market accounts were the amounts payable on demand at December 31, 2007 and 2006. The fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit were calculated by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates of instruments with similar remaining maturities. The fair value estimates for deposits do not include the value of the Company’s long-term relationships with depositors.

     The fair values of long-term debt were estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar terms.

     Substantially all other financial assets and liabilities have maturities of three months or less, and accordingly, the carrying amount is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

     Fair value estimates are based on existing financial instruments, as defined, without estimating the value of certain ongoing businesses, the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In the Company’s opinion, these add significant value.

     The Company has accepted collateral that may be sold or repledged based on contract or custom. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the fair value of this collateral was approximately $15.4 billion and $14.8 billion, respectively. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had sold or repledged $4.1 billion and $1.6 billion of such collateral, respectively. The primary source of this collateral is reverse repurchase agreements.

     The Company pledges securities as collateral in repurchase agreements, U.S. Government and other public deposits and other short-term borrowings. This collateral can be sold or repledged by the counterparties. At December 31, 2007, the Company has pledged certain trading account assets as collateral, with a carrying amount of $15.6 billion.

Financial guarantees written	$	103,997		58		103,730		59

     The fair values of commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written were estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. Generally, for fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between the current level of interest rates and the committed rates.

Wachovia Corporation 2007 Annual Report     137

Glossary of Financial Terms

Basis Point: A measure used to quantify yields or interest rates. One basis point (or bp) equals one hundredth of a percent (0.01%).

Book Value: A company’s value as reflected on the balance sheet. Book value is determined by adding the value of all assets and subtracting the value of all liabilities. Book value of a company may have little relationship to market value.

Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO): A class of structured securities on which the return is linked to the performance of a diversified pool of assets, which may include synthetic securities. A synthetic security is created by combining financial instruments to mimic the properties of a conventional financial instrument, primarily through the use of derivatives.

Derivative: A term used to define a broad base of financial instruments whose value is based on, or derived from, an underlying rate, price or index. Examples include swaps, options and futures contracts and can be based on interest rates, foreign currency, commodities or prices of other financial instruments, such as stocks and bonds.

Fair Value: The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the instrument, or if none exists, the most advantageous market.

FDIC-Insured Sweep Product: A product available to Wachovia Securities account holders in which the available cash balances in a customer’s brokerage account are automatically deposited or “swept” overnight into an interest-bearing bank deposit account and are eligible for federal deposit insurance in accordance with the rules of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

Hedge: An economic strategy designed to mitigate the risk of future changes in fair value or cash flows of an instrument often executed by entering into a position with an offsetting risk profile. Interest rate swaps, futures, options and short sales are examples of hedging techniques. Certain hedges that meet very specific criteria are accorded special accounting treatment as described in Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. An economic hedge is a hedge that mitigates risk, but does not qualify or is not designated as an accounting hedge.

LIBOR: London Inter-Bank Offered Rate. The short-term interest rate that creditworthy international banks charge each other for loans.

Lower of Cost or Market: A method of accounting for certain assets by recording them at the lower of their historical cost or their current market value.

Mortgage-Backed Security: An asset-backed security issued by a government agency or by private issuers whose cash flows are backed by the principal and interest payments of a pool of mortgage loans.

Nonperforming Assets: Assets on which income is not being recognized for financial reporting purposes; certain restructured loans on which interest rates or terms of repayment have been materially revised; and other real estate that has been acquired through loan foreclosures, or deeds received in lieu of loan payments.

Notional Amount: The amount of a derivative instrument on which interest or other payments are determined. The notional amount is not recorded on the balance sheet.

Overhead Efficiency Ratio: Noninterest expense divided by total revenue, which includes tax-equivalent net interest income and fee and other income.

Purchase Accounting: An accounting method that adds the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, along with the resulting goodwill, to those of the acquirer at the time of the acquisition. Results of operations of the combined entity reflect the activity of the acquired entity only in the periods following consummation date; historical financial information of the acquirer is not restated.

Residual Interest: An instrument issued or retained in connection with a securitization where the payments due to the investors are the remaining cash flows after all other investors have been paid. A residual interest has attributes very similar to common stock.

Retained Interest: Any interest (for example, security or contractual right) retained in connection with a securitization or other transfer of financial assets.

Return on Assets (ROA): Net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average assets.

Return on Common Equity (ROE): Net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average common stockholders’ equity.

Securitize/Securitization: The process of aggregating similar financial instruments, such as loans or mortgages, into one or more negotiable securities. Certain securitization transactions result in a complete transfer of risk to investors, and in others, the company typically retains risk in the form of senior or subordinated notes or residual interests in the securities issued (any of which we refer to as retained interests).

Stress Testing: A process designed to measure market risk by observing the reaction of a portfolio, generally measured by changes in market value, when exposed to a variety of types of market movements.

Subordinated Notes: Debt that has a lower repayment priority than senior debt. Certain subordinated notes qualify as tier 2 capital for regulatory reporting purposes.

Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital Ratios: Measures of the capital adequacy of a bank as determined in accordance with specific regulatory guidelines. Tier 1 ratio refers to core capital while tier 2 ratio refers to supplementary capital.

Yield Curve: A graph showing the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a portfolio of similar bonds at a given point in time. Often used to illustrate the direction of interest rates.
