The U.S. Bank Five Star Service Guarantee

	Our service is what ultimately differentiates U.S. Bank from our competitors. Every day. Every transaction. To win customers, satisfy them, keep them and expand their business relationship with U.S. Bank, we strive to deliver outstanding service to every customer.
	If we fall short in keeping our service guarantees, and the customer tells us they did not get the service they expected and deserved, we pay the customer for the inconvenience. We consider it a privilege to serve our customers; they are the reason we are in business and because of them, our bank succeeds.
	Our service guarantees apply to every line of business, and we pledge outstanding service to every customer—from personal checking account customers to large corporate banking clients; from small business partners to private banking clients. Every one of our ten million customers is covered by one or more guarantees that encompass accuracy, accessibility, timeliness and responsiveness.
	The U.S. Bank Five Star Service Guarantee is fundamental to the way we do business. Evaluating outstanding customer service is a key element in our recruiting practices, our training programs and our employee compensation structure.

(a)		The Company analyzes its performance on a net income basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as well as on an operating basis before merger and restructuring-related items and cumulative effect of change in accounting principles referred to in this Annual Report and Form 10-K as “operating earnings.” Operating earnings are presented as supplemental information to enhance the reader’s understanding of, and highlight trends in, the Company’s financial results excluding the impact of merger and restructuring-related items of specific business acquisitions and restructuring activities and cumulative effect of change in accounting principles. Operating earnings should not be viewed as a substitute for net income and earnings per share as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Merger and restructuring-related items excluded from net income to derive operating earnings may be significant and may not be comparable to other companies.
(b)		Dividends per share have not been restated for the 2001 merger of Firstar and the former U.S. Bancorp.
(c)		Without investment banking and brokerage activity.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report and Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements cover, among other things, anticipated future revenue and expenses and the future prospects of the Company. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including the following, in addition to those contained in U.S. Bancorp’s reports on file with the SEC: (i) general economic or industry conditions could be less favorable than expected, resulting in a deterioration in credit quality, a change in the allowance for credit losses, or a reduced demand for credit or fee-based products and services; (ii) changes in the domestic interest rate environment could reduce net interest income and could increase credit losses; (iii) the conditions of the securities markets could change, adversely affecting revenues from capital markets businesses, the value or credit quality of the Company’s assets, or the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet the Company’s liquidity needs; (iv) changes in the extensive laws, regulations and policies governing financial services companies could alter the Company’s business environment or affect operations; (v) the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems, on which the Company is highly dependent, could present operational issues or require significant capital spending; (vi) competitive pressures could intensify and affect the Company’s profitability, including as a result of continued industry consolidation, the increased availability of financial services from non-banks, technological developments or bank regulatory reform; (vii) acquisitions may not produce revenue enhancements or cost savings at levels or within timeframes originally anticipated, or may result in unforeseen integration difficulties; and (viii) capital investments in the Company’s businesses may not produce expected growth in earnings anticipated at the time of the expenditure. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.

Fellow Shareholders:
I am pleased to tell you that U.S. Bancorp achieved its goals for the year 2002—to successfully complete the systems integration of Firstar and the “old” U.S. Bancorp without any disruption of superior service to our customers; to reduce the risk profile of our corporation; and to improve customer service throughout our entire franchise

First, it is not overstating to say that the integration process was virtually flawless and transparent to our more than ten million customers. The integration was completed on schedule and met or exceeded our high expectations. We are now a rarity in our industry—a 24-state, $180 billion corporation doing business on a totally unified, single operating system for all of our markets and all of our customers. The service, cost, accuracy and responsiveness advantages of that are enormous, and we are already putting our new capabilities to work for our customers.
     Second, during the year, we continued to reduce the risk profile of our corporation. We exited higher risk businesses; we intensified and improved collection efforts; and we put improved credit and underwriting policies into effect across the corporation. While our credit costs are still too high, reflecting the nation’s current economic condition, it appears credit quality has stabilized, and the improvements we have made put us in a position of strength to take every advantage of our skill and expertise, our products and services, our markets and an economic recovery.
     Third, a re-energized culture of outstanding customer service is growing appreciably throughout our company, which is especially gratifying in those markets where our relentless pursuit of unparalleled service is a newer concept. We are pleased that our employees embrace customer service as the single most important factor in our ongoing and future success.
     Our goals for 2003 are to generate increased organic growth, maximize our operating leverage, skillfully manage credit quality, continue the reduction of our risk profile—and, as always, grow revenues faster than expenses. We are persistent and disciplined in our approach to these goals—we have specific initiatives in process, and fully anticipate achieving our goals.
     Despite a challenging economy, we ended 2002 seeing an increase in core revenue growth, a decrease in total noninterest expense, improvement in the net interest margin and a significant increase in deposits. Though 2003 will most certainly present its own demands, we have the pieces in place to grow and the momentum to meet whatever challenges may lie ahead.
     Please know that, as always, our highest priority is increasing the value of your investment in U.S. Bancorp. It is the reason we come to work each day.

Sincerely,

Jerry A. Grundhofer

Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer

February 28, 2003

In Remembrance

September 26, 2002, was a sad day for all members of the U.S. Bank family. Four of our U.S. Bank colleagues and a valued customer were victims of a fatal robbery attempt at a U.S. Bank branch office in Norfolk, Nebraska.
     Our hearts are still heavy with the pain of this tragedy, and our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the families, friends and co-workers of Lisa, Lola, Jo, Samuel and Evonne.

Corporate Governance

Good corporate governance promotes ethical business practices, demands meticulous accounting policies and procedures, and includes a structure with effective checks and balances. Corporate governance is vital to the continued success of U.S. Bancorp and the entire financial services industry.
     Our ethical standards have rewarded us with an enviable reputation in today’s marketplace—a marketplace where trust is hard to earn. Our shareholders, customers, communities and employees demand—and deserve—to do business with companies they can trust.
     U.S. Bancorp operates with uncompromising honesty and integrity. Our Board of Directors has had a Corporate Governance Committee for many years. We have adopted new Corporate Governance Guidelines in response to today’s heightened concern. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available for you to view on our Internet web site at usbank.com.
     Following are some of the important elements of our Corporate Governance practices.

Independent Oversight
Our Audit Committee is composed entirely of independent outside directors. In addition, the Board, the Audit Committee and the other committees of the Board meet in “executive session” without management in attendance at every meeting. The presiding director at every executive session of the Board is an independent director. The Board and each committee also have express authority to engage outside advisors to provide additional independent expertise for their deliberations.

Board of Directors’ Focus on U.S. Bancorp
To ensure that our directors are able to focus effectively on our business, we limit the number of other public company boards a director may serve on to three. The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Bancorp serves on only two other public company boards. Audit Committee members may serve on no more than three other public company audit committees, and the chairman of the Audit Committee serves on no other audit committees.

Board of Directors’ Knowledge and Expertise
All of our directors are skilled business leaders. Directors are encouraged to attend continuing director education seminars in order to keep a sharp focus on current good governance practices. In addition, the Board and each committee have express authority to retain outside advisors.

Management’s Vested Interest in U.S. Bancorp
We understand clearly that U.S. Bancorp shareholders are the primary beneficiaries of management’s actions. All U.S. Bancorp executive officers and directors own shares of company stock, and in order to further emphasize the alignment of management’s interests with those of our shareholders, we have established stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers.

Disclosure Controls
We have established rigorous procedures to ensure that we provide complete and accurate disclosure in our publicly filed documents. We have also established a telephone hotline for employees to anonymously submit any concern they may have regarding corporate controls or ethical breaches. Management investigates all complaints and directs to our Audit Committee any relating to concerns about our financial statements or public disclosures.

Shareholder Approval of Equity Compensation Plans
All equity compensation plans under which future grants may be made have been shareholder approved. In addition, no options issued under any current plans have been repriced.

U.S. Bancorp Code of Ethics and Business Conduct
Each year, we reiterate the vital importance of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. The Code applies to directors, officers and all employees, who must certify annually their compliance with the standards of the Code. The content of the Code is based not solely on what we have the right to do, but, even more importantly, on what is the right thing to do. Our standards are higher than any legal minimum because our business is built on trust. You may review our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct on our Internet web site at usbank.com.

Customers can withdraw funds, make deposits, check balances, receive statements, order checks, purchase phone minutes and stamps, transfer funds between accounts and request check copies. To deliver on our commitment of convenience, nearly one-half of the ATMs owned by U.S. Bank are located in non-bank settings, including corporate offices, manufacturing facilities, shopping centers, gas stations, medical facilities and airports. We deliver convenient access where our customers need it.

Providing Anytime Phone Banking Options
Around the clock, our 24-hour call center bankers are ready to take customers’ calls. Our service centers in Cincinnati, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Denver and Portland handled over 126 million inbound inquiries in 2002, including those served by our interactive voice response system.

E-Enabling Customers with Online Capabilities
Our nationally recognized Internet web site, usbank.com, makes it easier than ever for customers to review account balances, make transfers, open checking accounts, apply for loans and more—anywhere they have Internet access. With a host of new features introduced in 2002, including a streamlined transfer function and online account opening, U.S. Bank Internet Banking was ranked in the elite top 10 Internet banking sites by Gomez.com, an independent quality measurement company. More than 1.3 million customers have selected U.S. Bank Internet Banking to meet their need for easy-to-use, comprehensive and secure online services. In 2002, enrollment in U.S. Bank Bill Pay, our online bill payment product, increased by 25 percent, showing that online banking is quickly becoming the most active banking delivery channel.
     Among other new benefits and functionality introduced in the past year, Trust customers can now enjoy the convenience of U.S. Bank TrustNow Essentials, a way to retrieve account information and reports via the Internet. Corporate Payment Systems has significantly enhanced the capabilities of PowerTrack®, our innovative online business to business payment and transaction system, giving corporate customers even greater control of costs in the supply and payment process.

Growing Core Revenue

Attracting. Retaining. Expanding. These are the building blocks we will use to grow core revenue, the foundation for creating and sustaining shareholder value. Ultimately, growth depends on our employees fulfilling the financial needs of our customers. By tapping into the tremendous potential of our employee sales force, focusing on the highest level of service, building cross-market and cross-business partnerships and developing new products and services, we are exceeding customers’ needs, positioning us for superior revenue growth.

Taking Ownership of Our Business
Employees, shareholders and customers are all linked by a common interest—achieving our goals and performance expectations. Ownership of these goals exists at the business line level. Business lines have the autonomy to implement industry-competitive business models and strategies. Resources are allocated based on growth and return expectations, and monthly financial reviews track results. This environment creates a front line accountability where every employee understands and contributes to sales volume targets, service standards and profit objectives. Results are measured quickly and widely shared. National sales management calls provide a forum to communicate sales opportunities and best practices among business lines.

Developing a Superior Sales Culture
Customer needs drive our business. U.S. Bank continues to develop a sales culture designed to proactively identify sales opportunities based on customer needs. Every employee contributes to the revenue growth of our company through sales production, superior customer service, efficiency and a continuous focus on shareholder value. Employees know what is expected within this dynamic sales environment, where everyone takes ownership of our business and is held accountable for the results. And every employee can stand proudly behind our Five Star Service Guaranteed products and services because they are among the finest in the industry, backed by up-to-date processing and technology, personalized training, ongoing product education, effective marketing campaigns and competitive performance incentives. Our Pay for Performance compensation program rewards employees financially and personally for their achievements in sales and customer service and for their contributions to company earnings.

Introducing a New FOCUS
Recognizing the power of the primary checking customer, on April 1, 2002, U.S. Bank introduced a dedicated and focused strategy across the entire franchise to attract, retain and expand the core U.S. Bank customer base, specifically those customers who maintain a primary checking account with U.S. Bank. This initiative, called FOCUS, involves dramatically modifying our activities, investments and attention to increase our demand deposit account base. By concentrating on this critical segment, we are more likely to grow and strengthen a customer’s existing banking relationship with us, providing opportunities for increased sales and service across every line of business, from credit cards and trust products to home mortgages and investments and insurance products.
     Among other support programs, employees are regularly supplied with specialized tools designed to drive growth, build new customer relationships and enhance existing relationships. We are extremely pleased with the exceptional results of our first year’s FOCUS efforts, which have energized us for an even more powerful FOCUS commitment in 2003.

OVERVIEW

U.S. Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) comprise the organization created by the acquisition by Firstar Corporation of the former U.S. Bancorp of Minneapolis, Minnesota (“USBM”). The merger was completed on February 27, 2001, as a pooling-of-interests, and accordingly all financial information has been restated to include the historical information of both companies. Each share of Firstar stock was exchanged for one share of the Company’s common stock while each share of USBM stock was exchanged for 1.265 shares of the Company’s common stock. The new company retained the U.S. Bancorp name.

Earnings Summary The Company reported net income of $3.3 billion in 2002, or $1.71 per diluted share, compared with $1.7 billion, or $.88 per diluted share, in 2001. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.91 percent and 19.4 percent in 2002, compared with returns of 1.03 percent and 10.5 percent in 2001. The increase in earnings per diluted share, return on average assets and return on average equity was primarily due to total net revenue growth, lower noninterest expense and a reduction in the provision for credit losses. Net income in 2002 included after-tax merger and restructuring-related items of $211.3 million ($324.1 million on a pre-tax basis) and a cumulative effect of change in accounting principles of $37.2 million, or $0.2 per diluted share, compared with after-tax merger and restructuring-related items of $844.3 million ($1.3 billion on a pre-tax basis) in 2001. Refer to the “Accounting Changes” section for further discussion of the earnings impact of changes in accounting principles. Merger and restructuring-related items in 2002, on a pre-tax basis, included $271.1 million of net expenses associated with the Firstar/USBM merger and $53.0 million associated with the acquisition of NOVA Corporation and other smaller acquisitions. In 2001, merger and restructuring-related items, on a pre-tax basis, included a $62.2 million gain on the sale of branches, $847.2 million of noninterest expense and $382.2 million of provision for credit losses associated with the Firstar/USBM merger. Merger and restructuring-related items in 2001 also included $50.7 million of expense for restructuring operations of U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray, and $48.5 million related to the acquisition of NOVA and other smaller acquisitions. Refer to the “Merger and Restructuring-Related Items” section for further discussion.

Pension Plans Because of the long-term nature of pension plans, the accounting for pensions is complex and can be impacted by several factors, including accounting methods, investment and funding policies and the plan’s actuarial assumptions. The Company’s pension accounting policy complies with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employer’s Accounting for Pension Plans” (“SFAS 87”), and reflects the long-term nature of benefit obligations and the investment horizon of plan assets. The Company has an established process for evaluating the plans, their performance and significant plan assumptions, including the assumed discount rate and the long-term rate of return (“LTROR”). At least annually, an independent consultant is engaged to assist U.S. Bancorp’s Compensation Committee in evaluating plan objectives, investment policies considering its long-term investment time horizon and asset allocation strategies, funding policies and significant plan assumptions. Although plan assumptions are established annually, the Company may update its analysis on an interim basis in order to be responsive to significant events that occur during the year, such as plan mergers and amendments.

(a)	The target asset allocation was modified slightly from the existing asset allocation at September 30, 2002, to enhance the portfolio’s diversification.
(b)	The LTROR assumed for the target asset allocation strategy of 9.9 percent is based on a range of estimates evaluated by the Company, including the compound expected return of 9.1 percent and the average expected return of 10.7 percent.
(c)	The Sharpe ratio is a direct measure of reward-to-risk. The Sharpe ratio for these asset allocation strategies is considered to be within acceptable parameters.

     Regardless of the extent of the Company’s analysis of alternative asset allocation strategies, economic scenarios and possible outcomes, plan assumptions developed are subject to imprecision and changes in economic factors. To illustrate, for the period from 1994 to 2001, the actual return on plan assets was 11.3 percent compared with an

Merger and Restructuring-Related Items The Company incurred merger and restructuring-related items in each of the last three years in conjunction with its acquisitions. Merger and restructuring-related items included in pre-tax earnings were $324.1 million ($211.3 million after-tax) in 2002, compared with $1,266.4 million ($844.3 million after-tax) and $348.7 million ($231.3 million after-tax) for 2001 and 2000, respectively. Merger and restructuring-related items in 2002 included $271.1 million of net expense associated with the Firstar/USBM merger and $53.0 million associated with NOVA and other smaller acquisitions. Merger and restructuring-related items in 2002 associated with the Firstar/USBM merger were primarily related to systems conversions and integration, asset write-downs and lease terminations recognized at the completion of conversions. Offsetting a portion of these costs in 2002 was an asset gain related to the sale of a non-strategic investment in a sub-prime lending business and a mark-to-market recovery associated with the liquidation of U.S. Bancorp Libra’s investment portfolio. The Company exited this business in 2001 and the liquidation efforts were substantially completed in the second quarter of 2002.

Income Tax Expense The provision for income taxes was $1,776.3 million (an effective rate of 34.8 percent) in 2002, compared with $927.7 million (an effective rate of 35.2 percent) in 2001 and $1,512.2 million (an effective rate of 34.5 percent) in 2000. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2002, compared with 2001, was primarily driven by a change in unitary state tax apportionment factors, a decrease in non-deductible merger and restructuring-related charges and the change in accounting for goodwill. The effective tax rate increase in 2001, compared with 2000, was primarily due to a decline in tax-exempt interest related to sales of investment securities, the impact of unitary state tax apportionment factors on the Company, non-deductible merger and restructuring-related costs and the acquisition of NOVA.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Average earning assets were $149.1 billion in 2002, compared with $145.2 billion in 2001. The increase in average earning assets of $3.9 billion (2.7 percent) was primarily driven by increases in the investment portfolio, core retail loan growth, and the impact of acquisitions. This growth was partially offset by declines in commercial and commercial real estate loans reflecting lower borrowing

Loans The Company’s total loan portfolio was $116.3 billion at December 31, 2002, compared with $114.4 billion at December 31, 2001, an increase of $1.9 billion (1.6 percent). The increase in total loans was driven by strong retail loan and residential mortgage growth, partially offset by a decline in commercial loans due in part to current economic conditions. During 2002, there were reclassifications between loan categories that occurred in connection with conforming loan classifications at the time of system conversions. Prior years were not restated, as it was impractical to determine the extent of reclassification for all periods presented. Average total loans decreased $3.7 billion (3.1 percent) in 2002, compared with 2001. The decline in total average loans in 2002, compared with 2001, was driven by the decline in commercial and commercial real estate loans in 2002 and the impact of transfers of high credit quality commercial loans to the loan conduit in 2001. The decline in commercial and commercial real estate loans was partially offset by growth in retail loans and residential mortgages. Average total loans on a core basis decreased by $2.7 billion (2.2 percent) relative to the prior year.

Commercial Commercial loans, including lease financing, totaled $41.9 billion at December 31, 2002, compared with $46.3 billion at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $4.4 billion (9.5 percent). The decline was driven by softness in loan demand, credit-related actions including

Commercial Real Estate The Company’s portfolio of commercial real estate loans, which includes commercial mortgages and construction loans, was $26.9 billion at December 31, 2002, compared with $25.4 billion at December 31, 2001, an increase of $1.5 billion (5.9 percent). Included in the change in commercial real estate loans at year-end was a net reclassification of approximately $.5 billion to the commercial real estate loan category predominately from the commercial loan category. Commercial mortgages outstanding increased by $1.6 billion (8.3 percent), driven by loan reclassifications and growth in small business administration lending, while real estate construction and development loans remained essentially flat compared with a year ago. Average commercial real estate loans were essentially flat at $25.7 billion in 2002, compared with $26.1 billion in 2001. Table 9 provides a summary of commercial real estate exposures by property type and geographic location.

Residential Mortgages Residential mortgages held in the loan portfolio were $9.7 billion at December 31, 2002, compared with $7.8 billion at December 31, 2001, an increase of $1.9 billion (24.5 percent). The increase in residential mortgages was driven by an increase in refinancing given the current rate environment and strong growth in first lien home equity loans through the Company’s Consumer Finance division. The increase also reflects a decision to retain adjustable rate mortgages in the portfolio for asset liability management purposes and a reclassification of approximately $.7 billion to the residential mortgages category predominately from the commercial loan category. This growth was partially offset by approximately $.9 billion in residential loan sales during 2002. Average residential mortgages of $8.4 billion were essentially unchanged from a year ago.

Retail Total retail loans outstanding, which include credit card, retail leasing, home equity and second mortgages and other retail loans, were $37.7 billion at December 31, 2002, compared with $34.9 billion at December 31, 2001. The increase of $2.8 billion (8.1 percent) was driven by an increase in home equity lines during the recent declining rate environment and an increase in the retail leasing portfolio. This growth was partially offset by two credit card sales in 2002 that totaled approximately $483 million. Average retail loans increased $3.1 billion (9.1 percent) to $36.5 billion in 2002. Impacting the growth in average retail loans in 2002, compared with 2001, were portfolio sales of $1.3 billion in 2001 related to the high loan-to-value home equity portfolio and indirect automobile loans. On a core basis, average retail loans increased $1.8 billion (5.3 percent) from a year ago with growth in most retail loan categories. Of the total retail loans outstanding, approximately 89.8 percent are to customers located in the Company’s banking region.

Loans Held for Sale At December 31, 2002, loans held for sale, consisting primarily of residential mortgages to be sold in the secondary markets, were $4.2 billion, compared with $2.8 billion at December 31, 2001. The $1.3 billion (47.5 percent) increase primarily reflected strong mortgage loan origination volume in connection with refinancing activity in 2002 given the declining interest rates for residential mortgage loans. Residential mortgage production was $23.2 billion in 2002, compared with $15.6 billion in 2001. This is substantially higher than mortgage production of $6.7 billion in 2000.

Investment Securities The Company uses its investment securities portfolio for several purposes. It serves as a vehicle to manage interest rate and prepayment risk, generates interest and dividend income from the investment of excess funds depending on loan demand, provides liquidity and is used as collateral for public deposits and wholesale funding sources.

The most prominent risk exposures are credit, residual, operational, interest rate, market and liquidity. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the interest and/or the principal balance of a loan or investment when it is due. Residual risk is the potential reduction in the end-of-term value of leased assets or the residual cash flows related to asset securitization and other off-balance sheet structures. Operational risk includes risks related to fraud, legal and compliance risk, processing errors, technology and breaches of internal controls. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Rate movements can affect the repricing of assets and liabilities differently, as well as their market value. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices that may result in changes in the values of financial instruments, such as trading and available-for-sale securities that are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, investors or borrowers. In addition, corporate strategic decisions, as well as the risks described above, could give rise to reputation risk. Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity or press, whether true or not, could result in costly litigation or cause a decline in the Company’s stock value, customer base or revenue.

Credit Risk Management The Company’s strategy for credit risk management includes well defined, centralized credit policies, uniform underwriting criteria, and ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all commercial and consumer credit exposures. The strategy also emphasizes diversification on a geographic, industry and customer level, regular credit examinations and management reviews of loans experiencing deterioration of credit quality. The Company strives to identify potential problem loans early, take any necessary charge-offs promptly and maintain adequate reserve levels for probable loan losses. Commercial banking operations rely on a strong credit culture that combines prudent credit policies and individual lender accountability. The Company utilizes a credit risk rating system to measure the credit quality of individual commercial loan transactions and regularly forecasts potential changes in risk ratings and nonperforming status. The risk rating system is intended to identify and measure the credit quality of lending relationships. In the Company’s retail banking operations, standard credit scoring systems are used to assess consumer credit risks and to price consumer products accordingly. The Company also engages in non-lending activities that may give rise to credit risk, including interest rate swap contracts for balance sheet hedging purposes, foreign exchange transactions and interest rate swap contracts for customers, settlement risk and the processing of credit card transactions for merchants. These activities are also subject to credit review, analysis and approval processes.

Credit Diversification The Company manages its credit risk, in part, through diversification of its loan portfolio. As part of its normal business activities, it offers a broad array of traditional commercial lending products and specialized products such as asset-based lending, commercial lease financing, agricultural credit, warehouse mortgage lending, commercial real estate, health care and correspondent banking. The Company also offers an array of retail lending products including credit cards, retail leases, home equity, revolving credit, lending to students and other consumer loans. These retail credit products are primarily offered through the branch office network, specialized trust, home mortgage and loan production offices, indirect distribution channels, such as automobile dealers and a consumer finance company. The Company monitors and manages the portfolio diversification by industry, customer and geography. Table 7 provides information with respect to the overall product diversification and changes in mix in 2002.

Analysis of Loan Net Charge-Offs Total loan net charge-offs decreased $173.5 million to $1,373.0 million in 2002, compared with $1,546.5 million in 2001 and $825.4 million in 2000. The ratio of total loan net charge-offs to average loans was 1.20 percent in 2002, compared with 1.31 percent in 2001 and .70 percent in 2000. Included in loan net charge-offs for 2001 were $313.2 million of commercial loan charge-offs related to specific events or credit initiatives taken by management, $160 million of loan charge-offs relating to the Company’s accelerated loan workout strategy and $90 million of loan write-offs to conform risk management practices, align loan charge-off policies and expedite the transition out of a specific segment of the health care portfolio not meeting the lower risk appetite of the Company. The level of loan net charge-offs during 2002 reflected the impact of soft economic conditions and continued weakness in the communications, transportation and manufacturing sectors, as well as the impact of the weak economy on highly leveraged enterprise value financings. Assuming no further deterioration in the economy, net charge-offs are expected to remain at recent levels until the economy improves.

(a)	In accordance with guidance provided in the Interagency Guidance on Certain Loans Held for Sale, loans held with the intent to sell are transferred to the Loans Held for Sale category based on the lower of cost or fair value. At the time of transfer, the portion of the mark-to-market losses representing probable credit losses determined in accordance with policies and methods utilized to determine the allowance for credit losses is included in net charge-offs. The remaining portion of the losses is reported separately as a reduction of the allowance for credit losses under “Losses from loan sales/transfers.” Had the entire amount of the loss been reported as charge-offs, total net charge-offs would have been $1,875.8 million (1.59 percent of average loans) for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Residential mortgages 30 to 89 days or more past due were 2.85 percent of the total residential mortgage portfolio at December 31, 2002, compared with 3.40 percent at December 31, 2001, and 2.93 percent at December 31, 2000. Residential mortgages 90 days or more past due totaled 1.44 percent at December 31, 2002, compared with 1.79 percent at December 31, 2001, and 1.23 percent at December 31, 2000. The improvement in 2002 reflects, in part, the mix of first-lien home equity loans originated through the Company’s consumer finance division. Retail loans 30 to 89 days or more past due were 2.46 percent of the total retail portfolio at December 31, 2002, compared with 3.30 percent at December 31, 2001, and 2.96 percent at December 31, 2000. The percentage of retail loans 90 days or more past due was .79 percent of total retail loans at December 31, 2002, compared with 1.03 percent at December 31, 2001, and ..83 percent at December 31, 2000. The improvement in retail loan delinquencies from December 31, 2001, to December 31, 2002, primarily reflected the risk management actions, stabilization and improvement in collection efforts resulting from the successful completion of the integration efforts. The increase in retail loan delinquencies from December 31, 2000, to December 31, 2001, was primarily related to the credit card, home equity and revolving credit line portfolios and reflected the economic slowdown and unemployment trends during 2001.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses provides coverage for probable and estimable losses inherent in the Company’s loan and lease portfolio. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to determine that it is adequate to cover inherent losses. The evaluation of each element and the overall allowance is based on a continuing assessment of problem loans and related off-balance sheet items, recent loss experience and other factors, including regulatory guidance and economic conditions.

December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decline in the allowance for commercial and commercial real estate loans reflected a reduction of $93.7 million related to a change in the volume of commercial and commercial real estate portfolios and mix of the risk ratings within the portfolio. The remaining decline of $244.3 million reflected improvements in loss severity rates determined from historical migration analysis. Although the Company’s level of commercial and commercial real estate loans in higher risk loan categories declined approximately 11 percent, the level of nonperforming loans continued at elevated levels and increased by 22.6 percent in 2002. The change from year-end 2000 to year-end 2001 reflected higher levels of nonperforming loans, increased loss severity reflected in the historical migration, increased sector risk in certain industries and deterioration in credit risk ratings compared with 2000.
