September 30, 2005 & 2004 (Unaudited) 1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Marshall & Ilsley Corporation's ("M&I" or "Corporation") 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited financial information included in this report reflects all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals which are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. Certain amounts in the 2004 consolidated financial statements and analyses have been reclassified to conform with the 2005 presentation. 2. New Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections ("SFAS 154"). This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made after January 1, 2006. SFAS 154 generally requires retrospective application of prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle. However, this statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncement, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of SFAS 154. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"). SFAS 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires that compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS 123(R) also provides guidance on measuring the fair value of share-based payment awards. The Corporation was originally required to adopt SFAS 123(R) beginning in the third quarter of 2005. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced the adoption of a new rule that amends the compliance dates for SFAS 123(R). The new rule allows companies to implement SFAS 123(R) at the beginning of their next fiscal year. The Corporation plans to adopt SFAS 123(R) effective January 1, 2006. On March 29, 2005 the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, "Share-based Payment" ("SAB 107"). SAB 107 expresses views of the SEC Staff regarding the application of SFAS 123(R). SAB 107 is intended to assist both public entities in applying the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and investors and other users of financial statements in analyzing the information provided under SFAS 123(R). On May 31, 2005, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-1, "Application of EITF Issue No. 00-19 to Freestanding Financial Instruments Originally Issued as Employee Compensation." The guidance in this FSP should be applied in accordance with the effective date and transition provisions of Statement 123(R). This FSP clarifies that a requirement to deliver registered shares, in and of itself, will not result in liability classification for freestanding financial instruments originally issued as employee compensation. On August 31, 2005, the FASB issued FSP FAS 123(R)-1, "Classification and Measurement of Freestanding Financial Instruments Originally Issued in Exchange for Employee Services under SFAS 123(R)." The guidance in this FSP should be applied in accordance with the effective date and transition provisions of Statement 123(R). This FSP defers the requirements under Statement 123(R) that make a freestanding financial instrument subject to the recognition and measurement requirements of other generally accepted accounting principles when the rights conveyed by the instrument are no longer dependent on the holder being an employee. 7 MARSHALL & ILSLEY CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements - Continued September 30, 2005 & 2004 (Unaudited) 3.

SFAS 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar equity instruments. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award using an option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility of the underlying stock, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. The resulting compensation cost is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. 10 MARSHALL & ILSLEY CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements - Continued September 30, 2005 & 2004 (Unaudited) Compensation cost can also be measured and accounted for using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APBO 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount paid to acquire the stock. The largest difference between SFAS 123 and APBO 25 as they relate to the Corporation is the amount of compensation cost attributable to the Corporation's fixed stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP"). Under APBO 25 no compensation cost is recognized for fixed stock option plans because the exercise price is equal to the quoted market price at the date of grant and therefore there is no intrinsic value. SFAS 123 compensation cost would equal the calculated fair value of the options granted. Under APBO 25 no compensation cost is recognized for the ESPP because the discount (15%) and the plan meets the definition of a qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code and meets the requirements of APBO 25. Under SFAS 123 the safe-harbor discount threshold is 5% for a plan to be non-compensatory. SFAS 123 compensation cost would equal the initial discount (15% of beginning of plan period price per share) plus the value of a one year call option on 85% of a share of stock plus the value of a one year put option on 15% of a share of stock for each share purchased. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Corporation continues to measure compensation cost for such plans using the accounting method prescribed by APBO 25. See Note 2. Had compensation cost for the Corporation's ESPP and options granted after January 1, 1995 been determined consistent with SFAS 123, the Corporation's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following estimated pro forma amounts ($000's except per share data): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------------ ------------------------ 2005 2004 2005 2004 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net Income, as reported $ 184,147 $ 155,449 $ 542,214 $ 453,267 Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of tax 2,560 1,410 8,192 4,264 Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of tax (7,154) (6,486) (22,117) (19,400) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Pro forma net income $ 179,553 $ 150,373 $ 528,289 $ 438,131 ========== ========== ========== ========== Basic earnings per share: As reported $ 0.79 $ 0.70 $ 2.36 $ 2.04 Pro forma 0.77 0.68 2.30 1.97 Diluted earnings per share: As reported $ 0.78 $ 0.69 $ 2.32 $ 2.01 Pro forma 0.75 0.66 2.25 1.93 The fair value of each option grant was estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes closed form option-pricing model for options granted prior to September 30, 2004.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities The following is an update of the Corporation's use of derivative financial instruments and its hedging activities as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Generally there were no substantive changes in the types of derivative financial instruments the Corporation employs or its hedging activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Trading Instruments and Other Free Standing Derivatives Loan commitments accounted for as derivatives are not material to the Corporation and the Corporation does not employ any formal hedging strategies for these commitments. Trading and free-standing derivative contracts are not linked to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to forecasted transactions in an accounting hedge relationship and, therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. They are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other noninterest income. At September 30, 2005, free standing interest rate swaps consisted of $2.1 billion in notional amount of receive fixed/pay floating with an aggregate negative fair value of $21.9 million and $1.2 billion in notional amount of pay fixed/receive floating with an aggregate positive fair value of $17.5 million. At September 30, 2005, interest rate caps purchased amounted to $33.8 million in notional amount with a positive fair value of $0.3 million and interest rate caps sold amounted to $33.8 million in notional amount with a negative fair value of $0.3 million. At September 30, 2005, the notional value of interest rate futures designated as trading was $5.2 billion with a positive fair value of $0.6 million. Fair Value Hedges ----------------- The following table presents updated information with respect to selected fair value hedges. Fair Value Hedges September 30, 2005 Weighted Notional Fair Average Hedged Hedging Amount Value Remaining Item Instrument ($ in mil) ($ in mil) Term (Yrs) --------------------- ------------------ ----------- ------------ ---------- Fixed Rate CDs Receive Fixed Swap $ 777.0 $ (18.7) 9.1 Medium Term Notes Receive Fixed Swap 362.5 (5.7) 7.7 Fixed Rate Bank Notes Receive Fixed Swap 1,070.5 (13.4) 6.7 Institutional CDs Receive Fixed Swap 120.0 (0.6) 1.3 The impact from fair value hedges to total net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was a positive $6.9 million and $26.0 million, respectively. The impact to net interest income due to ineffectiveness was not material. 16 MARSHALL & ILSLEY CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements - Continued September 30, 2005 & 2004 (Unaudited) Cash Flow Hedges ---------------- The following table updates the Corporation's cash flow hedges.

The impact due to ineffectiveness was not material. 12. Postretirement Health Plan The Corporation sponsors a defined benefit health plan that provides health care benefits to eligible current and retired employees. Eligibility for retiree benefits is dependent upon age, years of service, and participation in the health plan during active service. The plan is contributory and in 1997 and 2002 the plan was amended. Employees hired or retained from mergers after September 1, 1997 will be granted access to the Corporation's plan upon becoming an eligible retiree; however, such retirees must pay 100% of the cost of health care benefits. The plan continues to contain other cost- sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. Net periodic postretirement benefit costs for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 included the following components ($000's): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, ------------------------ ----------------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Service cost $ 553 $ 630 $ 1,658 $ 1,892 Interest on APBO 1,158 1,024 3,476 3,756 Expected return on assets (149) (225) (448) (225) Prior service amortization (680) (1,121) (2,041) (2,481) Actuarial loss amortization 264 564 792 1,689 Other -- -- -- -- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 1,146 $ 872 $ 3,437 $ 4,631 ========== ========== ========== ========== Benefit payments and expenses, net of participant contributions, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 amounted to $0.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively. 17 MARSHALL & ILSLEY CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements - Continued September 30, 2005 & 2004 (Unaudited) 13. Segments The following represents the Corporation's operating segments as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. There have not been any changes to the way the Corporation organizes its segments. Beginning with the third quarter of 2005, total other income for Metavante includes float income which represents interest income on balances invested in an affiliate bank which arise from Electronic Bill Payment activities. This income was formerly reported as a component of Net Interest Income for Metavante. Segment information for all prior periods have been restated for this reclassification. Fees - intercompany represent intercompany revenues charged to other segments for providing certain services. Expenses - intercompany represent fees charged by other segments for certain services received. For each segment, Expenses - intercompany are not the costs of that segment's reported intercompany revenues.

The Corporation continues to focus on its key metrics of growing revenues through balance sheet growth, fee-based income growth and strong credit quality. Management believes that the Corporation has demonstrated solid fundamental performance in each of these key areas and as a result, the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 produced strong financial results. Net income for the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $184.1 million compared to $155.4 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $28.7 million, or 18.5%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.78 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared with $0.69 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 13.0%. The return on average assets and average equity was 1.66% and 16.49%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, and 1.63% and 17.58%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net income amounted to $542.2 million compared to $453.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $88.9 million, or 19.6%. Diluted earnings per share were $2.32 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared with $2.01 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 15.4%. The return on average assets and average equity was 1.70% and 17.32%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2005, and 1.67% and 17.64%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2004. Earnings growth for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 was attributable to a number of factors. The increase in net interest income was driven by loan and bank-issued deposit growth. Net interest income growth was somewhat mitigated by the financing costs associated with Metavante's 2004 acquisitions. On a comparative basis, net charge-offs and the resulting provisions for loan and lease losses were higher in the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 than the third quarter and first nine months of 2004. Despite the increase, net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 continue to be below the Corporation's five-year historical average. Metavante and the trust services reporting unit continued to exhibit growth in both revenue and earnings. Metavante's growth in revenue and earnings reflects, in part, the impact of its acquisition and divestiture activities and higher transaction volumes in core processing activity and payment processing. The acquisition and divestiture activities included three acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2005, one acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2005 and six acquisitions and two divestitures completed in 2004. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Corporation realized a gain that was primarily due to the liquidation of an equity investment in a cash tender offer. During the second quarter of 2005, the Corporation realized a gain due to the sale of an entity associated with the Corporation's investment in an independent private equity and venture capital partnership. In addition, during the first quarter of 2005 the Corporation realized a gain due to the change in control of PULSE EFT Associates. These factors along with continued expense management resulted in double-digit earnings growth in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Management continues to believe that there are some key factors that could affect future operating trends and financial results. Management believes that credit losses will likely return to historical levels. While it is unclear when this will occur, management does not believe that current net charge-off levels are sustainable indefinitely. Rapidly shifting and unstable yield curves make balance sheet management vulnerable to potential earnings volatility. While the Corporation has taken what it believes to be a conservative position relative to a generally rising interest rate environment, shifts in customer behavior and re-pricing characteristics present a persistent challenge. 22 Based on its performance in the first nine months of 2005, including the acquisitions that closed in the third quarter, management expects Metavante's total 2005 revenues (internal and external) to be at the upper end of, or slightly exceed, the $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion revenue range previously provided and segment earnings will be at the upper end of, or slightly exceed, the previously provided range of $115.0 million to $120.0 million. In the Banking segment, management expects double digit loan growth for the remainder of 2005. However, it is possible that loan growth will not be at the same levels experienced during the first half of the current year. The Corporation's actual results for the year ended December 31, 2005 could differ materially from those expected by management. See "Forward-Looking Statements" in this Form 10-Q and the Corporation's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the various risk factors that could cause actual results to be different than expected results. NOTEWORTHY TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS ---------------------------------- Some of the more noteworthy transactions and events that occurred in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 consisted of the following: Third quarter 2005 ------------------ During the third quarter, Metavante completed three acquisitions that were funded primarily with the Corporation's common stock. See Note 5 in Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion. Net investment securities gains as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the third quarter were primarily due to an equity investment that the Corporation liquidated in a cash tender offer. That transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $6.6 million or $0.02 per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Second quarter 2005 ------------------- As announced in the Corporation's Form 8-K dated May 26, 2005, the Corporation realized a gain due to the sale of an entity associated with its investment in an independent private equity and venture capital partnership. The gross pre-tax gain amounted to $29.0 million and is reported in Net investment securities gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Income. On an after-tax basis, and net of related compensation expense, the gain amounted to $16.2 million or $0.07 per diluted share for nine months ended September 30, 2005. First quarter 2005 ------------------ During the first quarter of 2005, Metavante completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Prime Associates, Inc. ("Prime") of Clark, New Jersey for $24.5 million. Total consideration consisted of 563,114 shares of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation common stock valued at $24.0 million and $0.5 million in cash. Prime is a provider of anti-money laundering and fraud interdiction software and data products for financial institutions, insurance companies and securities firms. During the first quarter of 2005, the Corporation's banking segment's investment in certain membership interests of PULSE EFT Associates ("PULSE") was liquidated by PULSE due to a change in control. The cash received resulted in a gain of $5.3 million which is reported in Net investment securities gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Income. An additional $0.3 million was received in the second quarter of 2005. Third quarter 2004 ------------------ During the third quarter of 2004, Metavante completed three acquisitions that were funded with cash. On July 29, 2004, the Corporation completed two financing transactions aggregating $1.0 billion. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including the long-term financing of the Metavante acquisitions. During the third quarter of 2004, the Corporation prepaid $300 million of floating rate debt and terminated a related interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge that resulted in a charge to earnings of $2.0 million. The loss is reported in Other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Second quarter 2004 ------------------- On May 27, 2004, Metavante completed the purchase of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of Kirchman Corporation ("Kirchman"). Kirchman is a provider of automation software and compliance services to the banking industry. This acquisition provided Metavante with core-processing software that financial institutions can run in-house, a solution Metavante previously did not offer. 23 First quarter 2004 ------------------ On January 1, 2004, the Corporation's Banking segment completed the purchase for cash of certain assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of AmerUs Home Lending, Inc. ("AmerUs"), an Iowa-based corporation engaged in the business of brokering and servicing mortgage and home equity loans. Although not material to the Corporation, this acquisition enhances the Corporation's wholesale lending activities by expanding its broker network. During the first quarter of 2004, the Corporation prepaid and retired $55.0 million of higher cost fixed rate debt that resulted in a charge to earnings of $4.9 million. The loss is reported in other in Other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. NET INTEREST INCOME ------------------- Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and interest owed on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income represented approximately 41.7% and 41.3% of the Corporation's source of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 43.3% and 45.5%, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $313.2 million compared to $281.1 million reported for the third quarter of 2004, an increase of $32.1 million or 11.4%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net interest income amounted to $909.8 million compared to $843.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $66.0 million or 7.8%. Loan growth and the growth in noninterest bearing and other bank-issued deposits were the primary contributors to the increase in net interest income. Factors negatively affecting net interest income compared to the prior year three and nine month periods included the impact of lengthening liabilities in order to reduce future volatility in net interest income due to interest rate changes, the interest expense associated with the debt issued in the third quarter of 2004 to fund Metavante's acquisitions in 2004 and accelerated purchase premium amortization associated with wholesale home equity loans. Average earning assets in the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $39.0 billion compared to $33.6 billion in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of $5.4 billion or 16.0%. Average loans and leases accounted for $5.0 billion of the growth in average earning assets in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004. Average investment securities increased $0.3 billion over the prior quarter. Average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 amounted to $37.7 billion compared to $32.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $5.2 billion or 15.8%. Average loans and leases accounted for $4.7 billion of the growth in average earning assets over the respective periods. Average investment securities increased $0.3 billion. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $4.5 billion or 15.7% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004. Average interest bearing deposits increased $1.3 billion or 6.5% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of last year. Average total borrowings increased $3.2 billion or 37.5% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, average interest bearing liabilities increased $4.7 billion or 17.5% compared to the same period in 2004. Average interest bearing deposits increased $1.8 billion or 9.3% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of last year. Average total borrowings increased $2.9 billion or 37.2% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Average noninterest bearing deposits increased $0.4 billion or 8.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis, average noninterest bearing deposits increased $0.4 billion or 8.2% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004. 24 The growth and composition of the Corporation's quarterly average loan and lease portfolio for the current quarter and previous four quarters are reflected in the following table ($ in millions): Consolidated Average Loans and Leases -------------------------------------- 2005 2004 Growth Pct. ----------------------------- -------------------- ------------------ Third Second First Fourth Third Prior Quarter Quarter Quarter Quarter Quarter Annual Quarter --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- --------- Commercial Loans and Leases --------------------------- Commercial $ 9,126 $ 8,932 $ 8,460 $ 8,076 $ 7,796 17.1 % 2.2 % Commercial real estate Commercial mortgages 8,661 8,509 8,275 8,042 7,826 10.7 1.8 Construction 1,484 1,358 1,241 1,143 1,100 34.9 9.3 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total commercial real estate 10,145 9,867 9,516 9,185 8,926 13.7 2.8 Commercial lease financing 462 425 398 402 395 17.2 8.8 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total Commercial Loans and Leases 19,733 19,224 18,374 17,663 17,117 15.3 2.6 Personal Loans and Leases ------------------------- Residential real estate Residential mortgages 4,537 3,986 3,562 3,234 2,929 54.9 13.8 Construction 1,633 1,382 1,167 1,017 865 88.9 18.2 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total residential real estate 6,170 5,368 4,729 4,251 3,794 62.6 14.9 Personal loans Student 74 78 88 85 79 (6.8) (4.3) Credit card 228 217 217 208 214 6.6 5.3 Home equity loans and lines 4,905 5,098 5,131 5,035 4,894 0.2 (3.8) Other 1,241 1,186 1,217 1,251 1,256 (1.2) 4.6 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total personal loans 6,448 6,579 6,653 6,579 6,443 0.1 (2.0) Personal lease financing 128 123 128 135 146 (12.4) 3.7 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total Personal Loans and Leases 12,746 12,070 11,510 10,965 10,383 22.8 5.6 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ====== ====== Total Consolidated Average Loans and Leases $ 32,479 $ 31,294 $ 29,884 $ 28,628 $ 27,500 18.1 % 3.8 % ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ====== ====== Total consolidated average loans and leases increased $5.0 billion or 18.1% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004. Total average commercial loan and lease growth was $2.6 billion, a 15.3% increase in the current quarter compared to the third quarter of the prior year. Approximately 50.8% of the growth in total average commercial loans and leases was attributable to commercial and industrial loans. Total average personal loans and leases increased $2.4 billion or 22.8% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004. This growth was driven primarily by growth in residential real estate loans that consist primarily of three and five year ARMs (adjustable rate mortgages) and construction loans. Average home equity loans and lines increased slightly in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004. Average indirect auto loans and leases declined in the current quarter compared to the third quarter of the prior year. From a production standpoint, residential real estate loan closings in the third quarter of 2005 were $0.6 billion or 61.8% greater than loan closings in the third quarter of 2004 and were $0.1 billion or 7.9% greater than loan closings in the second quarter of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, total consolidated average loans and leases increased $4.7 billion or 17.9% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Total average commercial loan and lease growth was $2.6 billion, a 16.0% increase in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of the prior year. Approximately 52.0% of the growth in total average commercial loans and leases was attributable to commercial and industrial loans. Total average personal loans and leases increased $2.1 billion or 21.0% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004. This growth was driven primarily by growth in residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines. Year-to-date average indirect auto loans and leases declined in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same period of the prior year. From a production standpoint, residential real estate loan closings in the first nine months of 2005 were $1.2 billion or 40.1% greater than loan closings in the first nine months of 2004. 25 Total average commercial loan and lease growth continued to be strong in the third quarter and first nine months of 2005. Management attributes the loan growth to the strength of the local economies in the markets the Corporation serves, sales success and continued customer satisfaction. The rate of commercial loan growth slowed somewhat during the latter part of the third quarter which was due in part to continued price discipline on the part of the lending groups, increased paydowns on construction loans and the somewhat seasonal nature of loan demand which the Corporation has experienced in third quarters in the past. The Corporation continues to believe that double-digit loan growth is a reasonable expectation for the year ended December 31, 2005. However, it is uncertain whether the growth rates experienced in the first half of 2005 will be sustained for the remainder of the year. Home equity loans and lines, which includes M&I's wholesale activity, continue to be one of the primary consumer loan products. As previously discussed, average home equity loans and lines increased slightly in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004. The proportion of loans sold at origination has significantly increased from 2004 to 2005 in response to the increased demand for home equity products with higher loan-to-value characteristics. In addition, the Corporation experienced increased prepayment activity on its wholesale home equity products in the third quarter of 2005. The Corporation sells some of its residential real estate production (residential real estate and home equity loans) in the secondary market. Selected residential real estate loans with rate and term characteristics that are considered desirable are periodically retained in the portfolio. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 real estate loans sold to investors amounted to $0.8 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, real estate loans sold to investors amounted to $1.7 billion compared to $1.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. At September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Corporation had approximately $191.6 million and $87.6 million of mortgage loans held for sale, respectively. Gains from the sale of mortgage loans amounted to $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, gains from the sale of mortgage loans amounted to $30.4 compared to $21.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Auto loans securitized and sold in the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $0.2 billion compared to $0.1 billion in the third quarter of 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, auto loans securitized and sold amounted to $0.4 billion compared to $0.5 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2004. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, net gains from the sale and securitization of auto loans were approximately break-even compared to net losses of $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net losses from the sale and securitization of auto loans were $0.2 million compared to net losses of $3.4 million for the nine month ended September 30, 2004. The losses incurred were primarily due to lower loan interest spreads associated with new auto loan production in a rising interest rate environment. Auto loans held for sale amounted to $34.0 million at September 30, 2005. The Corporation anticipates that it will continue to divest itself of selected assets through sale or securitization in future periods. 26 The growth and composition of the Corporation's quarterly average deposits for the current and previous four quarters are as follows ($ in millions): Consolidated Average Deposits ----------------------------- 2005 2004 Growth Pct. ----------------------------- -------------------- ------------------ Third Second First Fourth Third Prior Quarter Quarter Quarter Quarter Quarter Annual Quarter --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- --------- Bank issued deposits -------------------- Noninterest bearing deposits Commercial $ 3,589 $ 3,377 $ 3,263 $ 3,427 $ 3,280 9.4 % 6.3 % Personal 932 958 930 923 902 3.4 (2.7) Other 528 491 500 521 456 15.9 7.6 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total noninterest bearing deposits 5,049 4,826 4,693 4,871 4,638 8.9 4.6 Interest bearing deposits Savings and NOW 3,049 3,149 3,281 3,402 3,452 (11.7) (3.2) Money market 6,047 5,819 5,692 5,654 5,612 7.8 3.9 Foreign activity 932 882 904 887 849 9.7 5.6 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total interest bearing deposits 10,028 9,850 9,877 9,943 9,913 1.2 1.8 Time deposits Other CDs and time deposits 3,095 2,951 2,787 2,685 2,653 16.7 4.9 CDs greater than $100,000 1,421 1,243 1,074 906 805 76.6 14.4 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total time deposits 4,516 4,194 3,861 3,591 3,458 30.6 7.7 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total bank issued deposits 19,593 18,870 18,431 18,405 18,009 8.8 3.8 Wholesale deposits ------------------ Money market 1,068 1,077 1,073 1,096 747 42.9 (0.8) Brokered CDs 4,615 4,437 4,761 4,960 5,009 (7.9) 4.0 Foreign time 1,076 1,086 969 811 869 23.8 (0.9) -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total wholesale deposits 6,759 6,600 6,803 6,867 6,625 2.0 2.4 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------ ------ Total consolidated average deposits $ 26,352 $ 25,470 $ 25,234 $ 25,272 $ 24,634 7.0 % 3.5 % ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ====== ====== Total consolidated average deposits increased $1.7 billion or 7.0% in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004. Average noninterest bearing deposits increased $0.4 billion or 8.9% while average bank-issued interest bearing deposits increased $1.2 billion or 8.8% in the current quarter compared to the third quarter of the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, total consolidated average deposits increased $2.1 billion or 9.1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Average noninterest bearing deposits increased $0.4 billion or 8.2% while average bank-issued interest bearing deposits increased $0.8 billion or 6.3% in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of the prior year. As interest rates have risen, the Corporation has been positioned to be able to be competitive on price and to regain deposit growth that management believes will be sustainable across the interest rate cycle. The growth in bank issued deposits, especially noninterest bearing deposits, includes both commercial and retail banking. Noninterest bearing deposits are subject to seasonality and are influenced by the interest rate environment. In commercial banking, the focus remains on developing deeper relationships through the sale of treasury management products and services along with revised incentive plans focused on growing deposits. The retail banking strategy continues to focus on aggressively selling the right products to meet the needs of customers and enhance the Corporation's profitability. The Corporation continues to emphasize the sale of checking products. 27 For the three months ended September 30, 2005, average wholesale deposits increased $0.1 billion, or 2.0% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, average wholesale deposits increased $0.9 billion, or 16.2% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The Corporation continues to make use of wholesale funding alternatives, especially brokered money market deposits and institutional certificates of deposit. These deposits are funds in the form of deposits generated through distribution channels other than M&I's own banking branches. These deposits allow the Corporation's bank subsidiaries to gather funds across a wider geographic base and at pricing levels considered attractive, where the underlying depositor may be retail or institutional. Access to and use of these funding sources also provide the Corporation with the flexibility to not pursue unprofitable single service time deposit relationships. During the third quarter of 2005, $250.0 million of fixed rate and $200.0 million of floating rate senior bank notes were issued. The fixed rate senior bank notes mature in 2008 and have a coupon rate of 4.50%. The floating rate senior bank notes mature in 2007 and have a coupon rate that is indexed to the three-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate. During the third quarter of 2005, a fixed rate advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") with a coupon rate of 1.90% aggregating $450.0 million matured. Series E medium-term notes in the amount of $0.5 million with an annual coupon rate of 7.19% matured during the third quarter of 2005. During the second quarter of 2005, $350.0 million of subordinated bank notes were issued. The subordinated bank notes mature in 2015 and have a coupon rate of 4.85%. Senior bank notes in an aggregate amount of $525.0 million were also issued during the second quarter of 2005. The senior bank notes are floating rate and mature at various times in 2007 and 2010. Approximately $125.0 million of the senior bank notes were converted to a fixed rate through the use of an interest rate swap. During the first quarter of 2005, a new FHLB floating rate advance aggregating $250.0 million was obtained. The FHLB advance matures in 2011 and was converted to a fixed rate through the use of an interest rate swap. During the first quarter of 2005, $900.0 million of senior bank notes with an annual weighted average coupon interest rate of 4.13% were issued. The notes mature at various times beginning in 2008 through 2017. During the third quarter of 2004, the Corporation prepaid $300 million of floating rate debt and terminated a related interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge that resulted in a charge to earnings of $2.0 million. During the first quarter of 2004, a fixed rate FHLB advance aggregating $55.0 million with an annual coupon interest rate of 5.06% was prepaid and retired resulting in a charge to earnings of $4.9 million. 28 The Corporation's consolidated average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, interest earned and interest paid for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, are presented in the following tables ($ in millions): Consolidated Yield and Cost Analysis ------------------------------------ Three Months Ended Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 September 30, 2004 --------------------------- --------------------------- Average Average Average Yield or Average Yield or Balance Interest Cost (b) Balance Interest Cost (b) --------------------------- --------------------------- Loans and leases: (a) Commercial loans and leases $ 9,588.0 $ 146.8 6.08 % $ 8,190.5 $ 99.3 4.82 % Commercial real estate loans 10,145.5 160.0 6.26 8,926.4 120.8 5.38 Residential real estate loans 6,169.5 95.4 6.14 3,794.1 52.2 5.48 Home equity loans and lines 4,905.1 74.8 6.05 4,893.4 63.3 5.15 Personal loans and leases 1,671.2 25.8 6.13 1,695.2 21.7 5.09 ---------- ------- ------- ---------- ------- ------- Total loans and leases 32,479.3 502.8 6.14 27,499.6 357.3 5.17 Investment securities (b): Taxable 4,839.7 53.8 4.40 4,710.8 51.7 4.36 Tax Exempt (a) 1,369.5 24.2 7.16 1,224.1 22.6 7.46 ---------- ------- ------- ---------- ------- ------- Total investment securities 6,209.2 78.0 4.99 5,934.9 74.3 4.99 Trading securities (a) 26.3 0.1 0.90 23.5 0.1 1.38 Other short-term investments 272.7 2.7 3.86 165.1 0.7 1.57 ---------- ------- ------- ---------- ------- ------- Total interest earning assets $ 38,987.5 $ 583.6 5.94 % $ 33,623.1 $ 432.4 5.12 % ========== ======= ======= ========== ======= ======= Interest bearing deposits: Bank issued deposits: Bank issued interest bearing activity deposits $ 10,027.5 $ 52.0 2.06 % $ 9,913.0 $ 19.8 0.79 % Bank issued time deposits 4,516.3 37.4 3.29 3,457.7 21.5 2.47 ---------- ------- ------- ---------- ------- ------- Total bank issued deposits 14,543.8 89.4 2.44 13,370.7 41.3 1.23 Wholesale deposits 6,758.9 56.1 3.29 6,625.6 32.7 1.96 ---------- ------- ------- ---------- ------- ------- Total interest bearing deposits 21,302.7 145.5 2.71 19,996.3 74.0 1.47 Short-term borrowings 2,859.0 27.9 3.88 2,493.6 14.3 2.29 Long-term borrowings 8,685.9 88.5 4.04 5,899.7 54.8 3.69 ---------- ------- ------- ---------- ------- ------- Total interest bearing liabilities $ 32,847.6 $ 261.9 3.16 % $ 28,389.6 $ 143.1 2.01 % ========== ======= ======= ========== ======= ======= Net interest margin (FTE) as a percent of average earning assets $ 321.7 3.27 % $ 289.3 3.42 % ======= ======= ======= ======= Net interest spread (FTE) 2.78 % 3.11 % ======= ======= (a) Fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE), assuming a Federal income tax rate of 35%, and excluding disallowed interest expense.

(b) Based on average balances excluding fair value adjustments for available for sale securities. The net interest margin, as a percent of average earning assets on a fully taxable equivalent basis ("FTE"), decreased 15 basis points from 3.42% in the third quarter of 2004 to 3.27% in the third quarter of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the net interest margin was 3.32% compared to 3.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of 25 basis points. The decrease in net interest margin in 2005 was offset, in part, by the increase in noninterest bearing deposits as previously discussed. When comparing the net interest margin percentage for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Corporation estimates that the additional interest expense associated with the $1.0 billion of debt issued in late July 2004 to finance Metavante's acquisitions lowered the net interest margin by approximately 11 basis points in the third quarter of 2005 and 9 basis points in the third quarter of 2004. On a year to date basis, the additional interest expense associated with the debt issued to finance Metavante's acquisitions lowered the net interest margin by approximately 12 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 3 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Unlike a bank acquisition or loan growth, where the primary source of revenue is interest income, the revenue impact of Metavante's acquisitions is recorded in Other income and is not a component of the net interest margin statistic. Compared to the second quarter of 2005, the net interest margin decreased 6 basis points from 3.33% in the second quarter of 2005 to 3.27% in the third quarter of 2005. Approximately 3 basis points was due to accelerated amortization of premiums paid on wholesale home equity loans due to increased prepayment activity as previously discussed. These loans predominately had prepayment penalties associated with them which are reported in Other income and offset the negative impact on the net interest margin. Approximately 2 basis points of the decline was due to the difference in the number of days in the comparative quarters. 30 Should current trends continue, management expects a continued slight downward pressure on the net interest margin as a percent of average earning assets. While management expects prepayment activity on wholesale home equity loans to revert to normal levels, continued increased prepayments would also continue to result in slight downward pressure on the net interest margin as a percent of average earning assets but will have a negligible effect on net income due to prepayment penalties. Net interest income and the net interest margin percentage can vary and continue to be influenced by loan and deposit growth, product spreads, pricing competition in the Corporation's markets, prepayment activity, future interest rate changes and various other factors.

OREO is principally comprised of commercial and residential properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of problem loans and amounted to $8.8 million at September 30, 2005, compared to $9.1 million at June 30, 2005 and $6.8 million at March 31, 2005. Nonperforming loans and leases consist of nonaccrual, renegotiated or restructured loans, and loans and leases that are delinquent 90 days or more and still accruing interest. The balance of nonperforming loans and leases can fluctuate widely based on the timing of cash collections, renegotiations and renewals. 32 Maintaining nonperforming assets at an acceptable level is important to the ongoing success of a financial services institution. The Corporation's comprehensive credit review and approval process are critical to ensuring that the amount of nonperforming assets on a long- term basis is minimized within the overall framework of acceptable levels of credit risk. In addition to the negative impact on net interest income and credit losses, nonperforming assets also increase operating costs due to the expense associated with collection efforts. At September 30, 2005, nonperforming loans and leases amounted to $147.3 million or 0.44% of consolidated loans and leases compared to $131.6 million or 0.41% of consolidated loans and leases at June 30, 2005, and $130.0 million or 0.42% of consolidated loans and leases at March 31, 2005. At September 30, 2005 nonperforming loans and leases increased $15.7 million or 11.9% compared to nonperforming loans and leases at June 30, 2005. Despite the increase, the ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to consolidated loans and leases since December 31, 2004 and at each quarter end throughout 2005 has remained in a fairly narrow range and continues to be below management's expectations. Nonaccrual loans and leases continue to be the primary source of nonperforming loans and leases. Since June 30, 2005, almost all loan types experienced an increase in nonaccrual balances except for nonaccrual commercial real estate loans and nonaccrual lease financing receivables. The decline in nonaccrual commercial real estate loans was primarily due to charge-offs. Net charge-offs amounted to $7.8 million or 0.10% of average loans and leases in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $11.9 million or 0.15% of average loans and leases in the second quarter of 2005 and $8.0 million or 0.11% of average loans and leases in the first quarter of 2005. The lower level of net charge-offs experienced throughout 2004 and the first nine months of 2005 has to some extent been the result of higher than normal recoveries. Based on the status of some of the larger charge-offs recognized in recent quarters, management expects recoveries will likely return to lower levels in future periods. Recoveries in the third quarter of 2005 were relatively unchanged compared to the second quarter of 2005 but were $0.6 million lower than recoveries in the first quarter of 2005 and $2.0 million lower than recoveries in the fourth quarter of 2004. The ratio of recoveries to charge-offs was 36.6% in the third quarter of 2005 which was above the Corporation's five year historical average ratio of recoveries to charge-offs of 26.9%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the ratio of recoveries to charge-offs was 33.4%. Management continues to expect the longer term level of nonperforming loans and leases to be in the range of 50-60 basis points of total loans and leases and expects net charge-offs to trend to historical levels. While it is unclear when this will occur, management does not believe that current net charge-off levels are sustainable indefinitely. The provisions for loan and lease losses amounted to $9.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the provision for loan and lease losses amounted to $31.8 million compared to $25.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percent of consolidated loans and leases outstanding was 1.09% at September 30, 2005, 1.12% at June 30, 2005 and 1.27% at September 30, 2004. OTHER INCOME ------------ Other income or noninterest sources of revenue represented approximately 58.3% and 56.7% of the Corporation's total sources of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Total other income in the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $438.7 million compared to $367.9 million in the same period last year, an increase of $70.8 million or 19.2%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, other income represented approximately 58.7% of the Corporation's total sources of revenues and amounted to $1,290.8 million. By comparison, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, other income represented approximately 54.5% of the Corporation's total sources of revenues and amounted to $1,011.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 other income increased $279.5 million or 27.6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in other income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004 was primarily due to growth in data processing services revenue. Other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes certain investment securities gains as previously discussed. Data processing services revenue amounted to $285.0 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $239.0 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of $46.0 million or 19.3%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, data processing services revenue amounted to $829.0 million compared to $622.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $206.6 million or 33.2%. Revenue growth continued throughout the segment driven by revenue associated with acquisitions and higher transaction volumes in core processing activity and payment processing. Revenue associated with Metavante's acquisitions completed in 2005 and 2004 net of revenue lost from the 2004 divestitures contributed a significant portion of the revenue growth in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, over the comparable three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The acquisition related revenue growth includes cross sales of acquired products to clients across the entire segment. Total buyout revenue, which varies from period to period, decreased $0.4 million in the current quarter compared to the third quarter of last year and was $2.6 million higher in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004. 33 Trust services revenue amounted to $41.9 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $37.5 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of $4.4 million or 11.7%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, trust services revenue amounted to $123.4 million compared to $111.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $11.7 million or 10.5%. The increase in revenue was due to sales efforts that continue to emphasize cross-selling and integrated delivery. Assets under management were approximately $18.7 billion at September 30, 2005, compared to $18.3 billion at December 31, 2004, and $17.4 billion at September 30, 2004. Service charges on deposits amounted to $23.8 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $25.0 million in the third quarter of 2004, a decrease of $1.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, service charges on deposits amounted to $71.3 million compared to $75.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, a decrease of $4.3 million. A portion of this source of fee income is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In a rising interest rate environment, customers that pay for services receive a higher earnings credit for maintaining balances which results in lower fee income. Service charges on deposits associated with commercial demand deposits accounted for the majority of the decline in this revenue in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Total mortgage banking revenue was $14.7 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared with $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of $5.8 million. Total mortgage banking revenue was $33.1 million in the first nine months of 2005 compared with $27.5 million in the first nine months of 2004, an increase of $5.6 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Corporation sold $0.8 billion and $0.3 billion of residential mortgage and home equity loans to the secondary market, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Corporation sold $1.7 billion and $1.2 billion of residential mortgage and home equity loans to the secondary market, respectively. As previously discussed, the proportion of home equity loans sold at origination has significantly increased from 2004 to 2005 in response to the increased demand for home equity products with higher loan-to-value characteristics. Retained interests in the form of mortgage servicing rights on residential mortgage loans sold amounted to $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Net investment securities gains amounted to $7.4 million and $42.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. As previously discussed, during the third quarter an equity investment the Corporation had in a company was liquidated in a cash tender offer resulting in a gain of $6.6 million. During the second quarter of 2005, the Corporation realized a gain due to the sale of an entity associated with its investment in an independent private equity and venture capital partnership. The gross gain amounted to $29.0 million. During the first quarter of 2005, the Corporation's banking segment's investment in certain membership interests of PULSE was liquidated by PULSE. The cash received resulted in a gain of $5.3 million. An additional $0.3 million was received in the second quarter of 2005. Net investment securities activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 were not significant. Other income in the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $48.5 million compared to $40.0 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of $8.5 million or 21.3%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, other income amounted to $138.4 million compared to $120.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $17.5 million or 14.5%. The primary contributors to the increase in other income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 were higher auto securitization related income, as previously discussed, and increases in card related fees and loan related fees. The increase in loan related fees includes prepayment penalties on wholesale home equity loans as previously discussed. Other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes gains from the sale of certain trust custody businesses that amounted to $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. In addition, other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes a gain of $0.9 million from a branch divestiture and a gain of $0.8 million from the required sale of a facility. 34 OTHER EXPENSE ------------- Total other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 amounted to $463.8 million compared to $408.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $55.7 million or 13.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, total other expense amounted to $1,352.8 million compared to $1,145.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $207.7 million or 18.1%. Total other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 included the operating expenses associated with Metavante's acquisitions of Kirchman in May 2004, Advanced Financial Solutions, Inc. and its affiliated companies in July 2004, NYCE in July 2004, Response Data Corp. in September 2004, NuEdge Systems LLC in October 2004, VECTORsgi Holdings, Inc. in November 2004, Prime Associates, Inc. on February 9, 2005, Med-i- Bank, Inc. on July 22, 2005, TREEV on August 8, 2005 and GHR Systems, Inc. on August 11, 2005. Total other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 excluded the operating expenses associated with the 401k Retirement Plan Services operations and the direct customer base of Paytrust.com that were sold in the fourth quarter of 2004. Metavante's acquisitions and divestitures had a significant impact on the period-to-period comparability of operating expenses in 2005 compared to 2004. Approximately $20.2 million of the operating expense growth in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004 was attributable to the acquisitions and divestitures. Approximately $139.9 million of the operating expense growth in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004 was attributable to the acquisitions and divestitures. The operating expenses of the acquired and divested entities have been included in or excluded from the Corporation's consolidated operating expenses from the dates the transactions were completed. Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 included a charge to earnings of $2.0 million because the Corporation prepaid $300 million of floating rate debt and terminated a related interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge. Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 included a product impairment charge by Metavante that amounted to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2004. In addition, other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 included a charge to earnings of $4.9 million because the Corporation prepaid and retired $55.0 million of higher cost fixed rate debt during the first quarter of 2004. The Corporation estimates that its expense growth in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three and nine months ended September 2004, excluding the effects of the acquisitions and divestitures, the debt prepayment and the impairment charge, was approximately $37.4 million or 9.7% and $80.2 million or 7.5%, respectively. Expense control is sometimes measured in the financial services industry by the efficiency ratio statistic. The efficiency ratio is calculated by taking total other expense divided by the sum of total other income (including Capital Markets revenue but excluding investment securities gains or losses) and net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis. The Corporation's efficiency ratios for the three months ended September 30, 2005, and prior four quarters were: Efficiency Ratios ----------------- Three Months Ended --------------------------------------------------------------------- September 30, June 30, March 31, December 31, September 30, 2005 2005 2005 2004 2004 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Consolidated Corporation 61.6 % 59.9 % 62.0 % 61.6 % 62.2 % Consolidated Corporation Excluding Metavante 48.7 % 47.7 % 48.8 % 47.0 % 49.0 % Salaries and employee benefits expense amounted to $271.3 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $231.5 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of $39.8 million or 17.2%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, salaries and employee benefits expense amounted to $772.2 million compared to $647.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $124.9 million or 19.3%. Salaries and employee benefit expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 included certain expense adjustments associated with health and welfare benefits that included the benefit for the retroactive recognition of the effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. Salaries and benefits associated with acquisitions and divestitures previously discussed accounted for approximately $12.9 million and $70.2 million of the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense in the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2004, respectively. Other contributors included increased expense for product development and increased expense associated with professional services revenue at Metavante, increased expense for expanded lending activities by the banking segment and increased expense associated with long-term incentive plans. Long-term incentive plans include plans that are tied to consolidated performance and the Corporation's common stock price, and business-line performance incentives, which increased due to significant business success. From September 30, 2004 to September 30, 2005, the Corporation's common stock price increased 8.0%. 35 For the third quarter of 2005, occupancy and equipment expense amounted to $54.6 million compared to $50.8 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of $3.8 million or 7.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, occupancy and equipment expense amounted to $158.8 million compared to $142.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $16.2 million or 11.4%. The acquisitions and divestitures accounted for approximately all of the increase in occupancy and equipment expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. Software expenses, processing charges, supplies and printing, professional services and shipping and handling expenses totaled $68.0 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $59.0 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of $9.0 million or 15.2%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, software expenses, processing charges, supplies and printing, professional services and shipping and handling expenses totaled $196.3 million compared to $172.9 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $23.4 million or 13.5%. Metavante's expense growth accounted for $7.7 million of the increase in expense for these items in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004. The acquisitions and divestitures accounted for approximately $5.3 million of Metavante's increase in these expense items. The acquisitions and divestitures accounted for $20.0 million of the increase in these expense items in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Amortization of intangibles amounted to $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2004, a decrease of $2.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, amortization of intangibles amounted to $22.3 million compared to $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $3.1 million. Amortization associated with mortgage servicing rights decreased amortization expense $0.3 million and $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2005 and first nine months of 2005 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2004, respectively. The carrying value of the Corporation's mortgage servicing rights was $3.1 million at September 30, 2005. Amortization of core deposit intangibles, which is based on a declining balance method, decreased $0.6 million and $1.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 compared to the third quarter and first nine months of the prior year. Intangible amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2005 includes adjustments due to the final determination of the fair value and useful lives of intangible assets acquired by Metavante. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 intangibles amortization expense in connection with Metavante's acquisitions and divestitures increased $6.4 million. Other expense amounted to $63.8 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $58.6 million in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of $5.2 million or 8.9%. Higher expenses associated with credit cards and cost of card plastic sales were the primary drivers to the increase in other expense in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of 2004. Included in other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was the $2.0 million loss recognized for the termination of interest rate swaps as previously discussed. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, other expense amounted to $203.2 million compared to $163.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $40.1 million or 24.6%. The acquisitions and divestitures accounted for approximately $23.5 million of the increase in other expense in the first nine months of 2005 compared to the first nine months of 2004. As previously discussed, other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 includes losses of $6.9 million recognized for the prepayment and termination of interest rate swaps on long-term borrowings. Higher expenses associated with credit cards and advertising contributed to the increase in other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Other expense is affected by the capitalization of costs, net of amortization associated with software development and customer data processing conversions. Net software and conversion amortization was $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2004, resulting in a decrease to other expense over the comparative quarters of $1.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 net software and conversion amortization was $13.6 million compared to $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, resulting in an increase to other expense over the comparative nine months of $0.3 million. Included in net software and conversion amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is Metavante's write-off of capitalized software associated with an impaired product as previously discussed. 36 INCOME TAXES ------------ The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2005 amounted to $94.1 million or 33.8% of pre-tax income compared to $78.6 million or 33.6% of pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 the provision for income taxes amounted to $273.8 million or 33.6% of pre-tax income compared to $231.6 million or 33.8% of pre-tax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- Shareholders' equity was $4.5 billion or 10.1% of total consolidated assets at September 30, 2005, compared to $3.9 billion or 9.6% of total consolidated assets at December 31, 2004, and $3.6 billion or 9.2% of total consolidated assets at September 30, 2004. The increase in shareholders' equity at September 30, 2005 was primarily due to earnings net of dividends paid. In the second quarter of 2005, the Corporation's Board of Directors authorized an increase in the quarterly cash dividend paid on the Corporation's common stock, from $0.21 per share to $0.24 per share, or 14.3%. Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2005 includes the effect of certain common stock issuances in 2005. During the third quarter of 2005, the Corporation issued 4,355,947 shares of its common stock valued at $202.4 million in conjunction with Metavante's acquisitions of Med-i-Bank, Inc., TREEV and GHR Systems, Inc. During the first quarter of 2005, the Corporation issued 563,114 shares of its common stock valued at $24.0 million in conjunction with Metavante's acquisition of Prime Associates, Inc. Also during the first quarter of 2005, the Corporation issued 355,046 shares of its common stock valued at $14.4 million to fund its 2004 obligations under its retirement and employee stock ownership plans. At September 30, 2005, the net gain in accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $6.0 million which represented a negative change in accumulated other comprehensive income of $17.3 million since December 31, 2004. Net accumulated other comprehensive income associated with available for sale investment securities was a net gain of $4.1 million at September 30, 2005, compared to a net gain of $31.1 million at December 31, 2004, resulting in a net loss of $27.0 million over the nine month period. Net accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the change in fair value of the Corporation's derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges was a net gain of $9.7 million over the nine month period. The Corporation has a Stock Repurchase Program under which it may repurchase up to 12 million shares of its common stock annually. No shares were acquired under the program in the third quarter or first nine months of 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, 2.3 million shares were acquired at an aggregate cost of $88.5 million or an average price of $38.98 per common share. As a result of the use of cash for acquisitions, the Corporation does not expect that it will acquire shares of its common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program in the near term. As described in the Prospectus Supplement dated October 17, 2005, the Corporation has entered into an equity distribution agreement whereby the Corporation may offer and sell up to 3.5 million shares of its common stock from time to time through certain designated sales agents. However, the Corporation will not sell more than the number of shares of its common stock necessary for the aggregate gross proceeds from such sales to reach $150.0 million. The Corporation continues to have a strong capital base and its regulatory capital ratios are significantly above the minimum requirements as shown in the following tables.

M&I maintains liquidity by obtaining funds from several sources. The Corporation's most readily available source of liquidity is its investment portfolio. Investment securities available for sale, which totaled $5.7 billion at September 30, 2005, represent a highly accessible source of liquidity. The Corporation's portfolio of held-to-maturity investment securities, which totaled $0.7 billion at September 30, 2005, provides liquidity from maturities and amortization payments. The Corporation's loans held-for-sale provide additional liquidity. These loans represent recently funded loans that are prepared for delivery to investors, which generally occurs within thirty to ninety days after the loan has been funded. Depositors within M&I's defined markets are another source of liquidity. Core deposits (demand, savings, money market and consumer time deposits) averaged $17.2 billion in the third quarter of 2005. The Corporation's banking affiliates may also access the federal funds markets or utilize collateralized borrowings such as treasury demand notes or FHLB advances. The banking affiliates may use wholesale deposits. Wholesale deposits are funds in the form of deposits generated through distribution channels other than the Corporation's own banking branches. These deposits allow the Corporation's banking subsidiaries to gather funds across a national geographic base and at pricing levels considered attractive, where the underlying depositor may be retail or institutional. Access to wholesale deposits also provides the Corporation with the flexibility to not pursue single service time deposit relationships in markets that have experienced some unprofitable pricing levels. Wholesale deposits averaged $6.8 billion in the third quarter of 2005. The Corporation utilizes certain financing arrangements to meet its balance sheet management, funding, liquidity, and market or credit risk management needs. The majority of these activities are basic term or revolving securitization vehicles. These vehicles are generally funded through term-amortizing debt structures or with short-term commercial paper designed to be paid off based on the underlying cash flows of the assets securitized. These vehicles provide access to funding sources substantially separate from the general credit risk of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for an update of the Corporation's securitization activities in the third quarter of 2005. The Corporation's lead bank, M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank (the "Bank"), has implemented a bank note program which permits it to issue up to $7.0 billion of short-term and medium-term notes which are offered and sold only to institutional investors. This program is intended to enhance liquidity by enabling the Bank to sell its debt instruments in private markets in the future without the delays which would otherwise be incurred. Bank notes outstanding at September 30, 2005, amounted to $5.3 billion of which $1.3 billion is subordinated and qualifies as supplementary capital for regulatory capital purposes. Bank notes issued during the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $450.0 million. The national capital markets represent a further source of liquidity to M&I. M&I has filed a number of shelf registration statements that are intended to permit M&I to raise funds through sales of corporate debt and/or equity securities with a relatively short lead time. During the third quarter of 2005, the Corporation amended the shelf registration statement originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the second quarter of 2004 to describe the equity distribution agreement previously discussed. The shelf registration statement enables the Corporation to issue various securities, including debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, purchase contracts, units, warrants, and trust preferred securities, up to an aggregate amount of $3.0 billion. Approximately $1.30 billion is available for future securities issuances. 38 During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Corporation filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which will enable the Corporation to issue up to 6.0 million shares of its common stock which may be offered and issued from time to time in connection with the acquisition by M&I, Metavante and/or other consolidated subsidiaries of businesses that the Corporation determines to be to its advantage as they become available. At September 30, 2005, 3.9 million shares of common stock were available for future issuances. Under other shelf registration statements, the Corporation may issue up to $0.6 billion of medium-term Series F notes with maturities ranging from 9 months to 30 years and at fixed or floating rates. At September 30, 2005, no Series F notes had been issued. The Corporation may issue up to $0.5 billion of medium-term MiNotes with maturities ranging from 9 months to 30 years and at fixed or floating rates. The MiNotes are issued in smaller denominations to attract retail investors. At September 30, 2005, MiNotes issued amounted to $0.2 billion. Additionally, the Corporation has a commercial paper program. At September 30, 2005, commercial paper outstanding amounted to $0.3 billion. Short-term borrowings represent contractual debt obligations with maturities of one year or less and amounted to $3.4 billion at September 30, 2005. Long-term borrowings amounted to $8.5 billion at September 30, 2005. The scheduled maturities of long-term borrowings including estimated interest payments at September 30, 2005 are as follows: $2.4 billion is due in less than one year; $2.8 billion is due in one to three years; $2.0 billion is due in three to five years; and $3.8 billion is due in more than five years. As previously discussed, during the first quarter of 2005, the Corporation issued shares of its common stock valued at $14.4 million to fund a portion of its 2004 obligations under its retirement and employee stock ownership plans. There have been no other substantive changes to the Corporation's contractual obligations as reported in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS ------------------------------ At September 30, 2005, there have been no substantive changes with respect to the Corporation's off-balance sheet activities as disclosed in the Corporation's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for an update of the Corporation's securitization activities in the third quarter of 2005. The Corporation continues to believe that based on the off-balance sheet arrangements with which it is presently involved, such off-balance sheet arrangements neither have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact to its current or future financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES ---------------------------- The Corporation has established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies of the Corporation are described in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K and updated as necessary in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management that may have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. Management considers such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the results of the operations of the Corporation. Management continues to consider the following to be those accounting policies that require significant judgments and assumptions: Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ----------------------------------- The allowance for loan and lease losses represents management's estimate of probable losses inherent in the Corporation's loan and lease portfolio. Management evaluates the allowance each quarter to determine that it is adequate to absorb these inherent losses. This evaluation is supported by a methodology that identifies estimated losses based on assessments of individual problem loans and historical loss patterns of homogeneous loan pools. In addition, environmental factors, including economic conditions and regulatory guidance, unique to each measurement date are also considered. This reserving methodology has the following components: SPECIFIC RESERVE. The Corporation's internal risk rating system is used to identify loans and leases that meet the criteria as being "impaired" under the definition in SFAS 114. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For impaired loans, impairment is measured using one of three alternatives: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; (2) the loan's observable market price, if available; or (3) the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans and loans for which foreclosure is deemed to be probable. In general, these loans have been internally identified as credits requiring management's attention due to underlying problems in the borrower's business or collateral concerns. Subject to a minimum size, a quarterly review of these loans is performed to identify the specific reserve necessary to be allocated to each of these loans. This analysis considers expected future cash flows, the value of collateral and also other factors that may impact the borrower's ability to make payments when due. 39 COLLECTIVE LOAN IMPAIRMENT. This component of the allowance for loan and lease losses is comprised of two elements. First, the Corporation makes a significant number of loans and leases, which due to their underlying similar characteristics, are assessed for loss as homogeneous pools. Included in the homogeneous pools are loans and leases from the retail sector and commercial loans under a certain size that have been excluded from the specific reserve allocation previously discussed. The Corporation segments the pools by type of loan or lease and, using historical loss information, estimates a loss reserve for each pool. The second element reflects management's recognition of the uncertainty and imprecision underlying the process of estimating losses. The internal risk rating system is used to identify those loans within certain industry segments that based on financial, payment or collateral performance, warrant closer ongoing monitoring by management. The specific loans mentioned earlier are excluded from this analysis. Based on management's judgment, reserve ranges are allocated to industry segments due to environmental conditions unique to the measurement period. Consideration is given to both internal and external environmental factors such as economic conditions in certain geographic or industry segments of the portfolio, economic trends, risk profile, and portfolio composition. Reserve ranges are then allocated using estimates of loss exposure that management has identified based on these economic trends or conditions. The following factors were taken into consideration in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses at September 30, 2005: In general, the Corporation's borrowing customers appear to have successfully managed their businesses through the slower economic conditions, the economy is improving and the Corporation's customer base is showing signs of increased business activity as evidenced by the loan growth in this quarter. At September 30, 2005, allowances for loan and lease losses continue to be carried for exposures to manufacturing, healthcare, production agriculture (including dairy and cropping operations), truck transportation, accommodation, general contracting, motor vehicle and parts dealers and the airline industries. The majority of the commercial charge-offs incurred during the past two years were in these industry segments. While most loans in these categories are still performing, the Corporation continues to believe these sectors have been more adversely affected by the previous economic slowdown. Reduced revenues causing a declining utilization of the industry's capacity levels have impacted manufacturing. As a result, collateral values and the amounts realized through the sale or liquidation of manufacturing plant and equipment have declined accordingly. During the third quarter of 2005, the Corporation's commitments to Shared National Credits were approximately $2.9 billion with usage averaging around 46%. Many of the Corporation's largest charge-offs have come from the Shared National Credit portfolio. Although these factors result in an increased risk profile, as of September 30, 2005 Shared National Credit nonperforming loans amounted to $3.9 million. The Corporation's exposure to Shared National Credits is monitored closely given this lending group's loss experience. The Corporation's primary lending areas are Wisconsin, Arizona, Minnesota and Missouri. The Minnesota and Missouri markets continue to represent relatively new geographic regions for the Corporation. Each of these regions has cultural and environmental factors that are unique to them. The uncertainty regarding the inherent losses in their respective loan portfolios continue to present increased risks which have been mitigated by the implementation of the Corporation's credit underwriting and monitoring processes. At September 30, 2005, total nonperforming loans and leases as a percent of total loans and leases for the Minnesota and Missouri regions combined was higher than the consolidated total of nonperforming loans and leases as a percent of total consolidated loans and leases. At September 30, 2005, nonperforming loans and leases amounted to $147.3 million or 0.44% of consolidated loans and leases compared to $131.6 million or 0.41% of consolidated loans and leases at June 30, 2005, and $130.0 million or 0.42% of consolidated loans and leases at March 31, 2005. At September 30, 2005 nonperforming loans and leases increased $15.7 million or 11.9% compared to nonperforming loans and leases at June 30, 2005. Despite the increase, the ratio of nonperforming loans and leases to consolidated loans and leases since December 31, 2004 and at each quarter end throughout 2005 has remained in a fairly narrow range and continues to be below management's expectations. Nonaccrual loans and leases continue to be the primary source of nonperforming loans and leases. Since June 30, 2005, almost all loan types experienced an increase in nonaccrual balances except for nonaccrual commercial real estate loans and nonaccrual lease financing receivables. The decline in nonaccrual commercial real estate loans was primarily due to charge- offs. 40 Net charge-offs amounted to $7.8 million or 0.10% of average loans and leases in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $11.9 million or 0.15% of average loans and leases in the second quarter of 2005 and $8.0 million or 0.11% of average loans and leases in the first quarter of 2005. The lower level of net charge-offs experienced throughout 2004 and the first nine months of 2005 has to some extent been the result of higher than normal recoveries. Based on the status of some of the larger charge-offs recognized in recent quarters, management expects recoveries will likely return to lower levels in future periods. Recoveries in the third quarter of 2005 were relatively unchanged compared to the second quarter of 2005 but were $0.6 million lower than recoveries in the first quarter of 2005 and $2.0 million lower than recoveries in the fourth quarter of 2004. The ratio of recoveries to charge-offs was 36.6% in the third quarter of 2005 which was above the Corporation's five year historical average ratio of recoveries to charge-offs of 26.9%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the ratio of recoveries to charge-offs was 33.4%. Management continues to expect the longer term level of nonperforming loans and leases to be in the range of 50-60 basis points of total loans and leases and expects net charge-offs to trend to historical levels. While it is unclear when this will occur, management does not believe that current net charge-off levels are sustainable indefinitely. Based on the above loss estimates, management determined its best estimate of the required allowance for loans and leases. Management's evaluation of the factors described above resulted in an allowance for loan and lease losses of $362.3 million or 1.09% of loans and leases outstanding at September 30, 2005. The allowance for loan and lease losses was $358.1 million or 1.21% of loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2004 and $358.1 million or 1.27% of loans and leases outstanding at September 30, 2004. Consistent with the credit quality trends noted above, the provision for loan and lease losses amounted to $9.9 million and $31.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. The resulting provisions for loan and lease losses are the amounts required to establish the allowance for loan and lease losses at the required level after considering charge-offs and recoveries. Management recognizes there are significant estimates in the process and the ultimate losses could be significantly different from those currently estimated. The Corporation has not materially changed any aspect of its overall approach in the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses. There have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods that impacted the determination of the current period allowance. However, on an on-going basis the Corporation continues to refine the methods used in determining management's best estimate of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Capitalized Software and Conversion Costs ----------------------------------------- Direct costs associated with the production of computer software that will be licensed externally or used in a service bureau environment are capitalized. Capitalization of such costs is subject to strict accounting policy criteria, although the appropriate time to initiate capitalization requires management judgment. Once the specific capitalized project is put into production, the software cost is amortized over its estimated useful life, generally four years. Each quarter, the Corporation performs net realizable value tests to ensure the assets are recoverable. Such tests require management judgment as to the future sales and profitability of a particular product which involves, in some cases, multi-year projections. Technology changes and changes in customer requirements can have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and can be difficult to predict. Should significant adverse changes occur, estimates of useful life may have to be revised or write-offs would be required to recognize impairment. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the amount of software costs capitalized amounted to $10.7 million and $10.3 million, respectively. Amortization expense of software costs amounted to $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $13.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the amount of software costs capitalized amounted to $29.6 million and $30.7 million, respectively. Amortization expense of software costs amounted to $43.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $41.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. 41 Based on a strategic product review performed during the second quarter of 2004, Metavante determined that a certain product had limited growth potential and that future marketing of the product should be discontinued. As a result of the strategic product review and net realizable value test on this product, Metavante determined that the capitalized software associated with the product was impaired and recorded a write-down. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, includes $4.9 million for the write-down of the capitalized software costs associated with the impaired product. Direct costs associated with customer system conversions to the data processing operations are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms, generally five to seven years, of the related servicing contracts. Capitalization only occurs when management is satisfied that such costs are recoverable through future operations or penalties (buyout fees) in case of early termination. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the amount of conversion costs capitalized amounted to $2.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Amortization expense of conversion costs amounted to $2.4 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the amount of conversion costs capitalized amounted to $8.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Amortization expense of conversion costs amounted to $8.1 million and $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Net unamortized costs were ($ in millions): September 30, -------------------------- 2005 2004 ------------ ------------ Software $ 153.2 $ 160.8 Conversions 28.0 28.2 ----------- ----------- Total $ 181.2 $ 189.0 =========== =========== The Corporation has not substantively changed any aspect to its overall approach in the determination of the amount of costs that are capitalized for software development or conversion activities. There have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods that impacted the determination of the periodic amortization of such costs. Financial Asset Sales and Securitizations ----------------------------------------- The Corporation utilizes certain financing arrangements to meet its balance sheet management, funding, liquidity, and market or credit risk management needs. The majority of these activities are basic term or revolving securitization vehicles. These vehicles are generally funded through term-amortizing debt structures or with short-term commercial paper designed to be paid off based on the underlying cash flows of the assets securitized. These financing entities are contractually limited to a narrow range of activities that facilitate the transfer of or access to various types of assets or financial instruments. In certain situations, the Corporation provides liquidity and/or loss protection agreements. In determining whether the financing entity should be consolidated, the Corporation considers whether the entity is a qualifying special-purpose entity ("QSPE") as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. For non-consolidation, a QSPE must be demonstrably distinct, have significantly limited permitted activities, hold assets that are restricted to transferred financial assets and related assets, and can sell or dispose of non-cash financial assets only in response to specified conditions. In December 2003, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46R"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003). This interpretation addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Under current practice, entities generally have been included in consolidated financial statements because they are controlled through voting interests. This interpretation explains how to identify variable interest entities and how an entity assesses its interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. FIN 46R requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. Variable interest entities that effectively disperse risks will not be consolidated unless a single party holds an interest or combination of interests that effectively recombines risks that were previously dispersed. Transferors to QSPEs and "grandfathered" QSPEs subject to the reporting requirements of SFAS 140 are outside the scope of FIN 46R and do not consolidate those entities. FIN 46R also requires certain disclosures by the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity or an entity that holds a significant variable interest in a variable interest entity. 42 With respect to the Corporation's securitization activities, the adoption of FIN 46R did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements because its transfers are generally to QSPEs. The Corporation sells financial assets in a two-step process that results in a surrender of control over the assets as evidenced by true-sale opinions from legal counsel, to unconsolidated entities that securitize the assets. The Corporation retains interests in the securitized assets in the form of interest-only strips and a cash reserve account. Gain or loss on sale of the assets depends in part on the carrying amount assigned to the assets sold allocated between the asset sold and retained interests based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer. The value of the retained interests is based on the present value of expected cash flows estimated using management's best estimates of the key assumptions - credit losses, prepayment speeds, forward yield curves and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. Actual results can differ from expected results. The Corporation reviews the carrying values of the retained interests monthly to determine if there is a decline in value that is other than temporary and periodically reviews the propriety of the assumptions used based on current historical experience as well as the sensitivities of the carrying value of the retained interests to adverse changes in the key assumptions. The Corporation believes that its estimates result in a reasonable carrying value of the retained interests. The Corporation regularly sells automobile loans to an unconsolidated multi-seller special purpose entity commercial paper conduit in securitization transactions in which servicing responsibilities and subordinated interests are retained. The outstanding balances of automobile loans sold in these securitization transactions were $1,013.2 million at September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2005 the carrying amount of retained interests amounted to $33.1 million. The Corporation also sells, from time to time, debt securities classified as available for sale that are highly rated to an unconsolidated bankruptcy remote QSPE whose activities are limited to issuing highly rated asset-backed commercial paper with maturities up to 180 days which is used to finance the purchase of the investment securities. The Corporation provides liquidity back-up in the form of Liquidity Purchase Agreements. In addition, the Corporation acts as counterparty to interest rate swaps that enable the QSPE to hedge its interest rate risk. Such swaps are designated as free-standing derivative financial instruments in the Corporation's Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 30, 2005, highly rated investment securities in the amount of $288.6 million were outstanding in the QSPE to support the outstanding commercial paper. Income Taxes ------------ Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred 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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted 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 tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the income statement in the period that includes the enactment date. The determination of current and deferred income taxes is based on complex analyses of many factors, including interpretation of Federal and state income tax laws, the difference between tax and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), estimates of amounts currently due or owed, such as the timing of reversals of temporary differences and current accounting standards. The Federal and state taxing authorities who make assessments based on their determination of tax laws periodically review the Corporation's interpretation of Federal and state income tax laws. Tax liabilities could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities based on the completion of taxing authority examinations. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS -------------------------- Items 2 and 3 of this Form 10-Q, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," respectively, contain forward- looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding expected financial and operating activities and results which are preceded by words such as "expects", "anticipates" or "believes". Such statements are subject to important factors that could cause the Corporation's actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These factors include those referenced in Item 1, Business, of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2004 under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements," as updated below, and as may be described from time to time in the Corporation's subsequent SEC filings, and such factors are incorporated herein by reference. 43 Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or customer information, whether through a breach of the Corporation's computer systems or otherwise, could severely harm the Corporation's business. As part of the Corporation's financial and data processing products and services, the Corporation collects, processes and retains sensitive and confidential client and customer information on behalf of itself and other third parties, such as Metavante's customers. Despite the security measures the Corporation has in place, its facilities and systems, and those of its third party service providers, may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors, or other similar events. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential customer information (whether by the Corporation or by its vendors) could severely damage the reputation of the Corporation, expose the Corporation to the risks of litigation and liability, disrupt its operations and harm its business. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The following updated information should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Updated information regarding the Corporation's use of derivative financial instruments is contained in Note 11, Notes to Financial Statements contained in Item 1 herein. Market risk arises from exposure to changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, and other relevant market rate or price risk. The Corporation faces market risk through trading and other than trading activities. While market risk that arises from trading activities in the form of foreign exchange and interest rate risk is immaterial to the Corporation, market risk from other than trading activities in the form of interest rate risk is measured and managed through a number of methods. Interest Rate Risk ------------------ The Corporation uses financial modeling techniques to identify potential changes in income under a variety of possible interest rate scenarios. Financial institutions, by their nature, bear interest rate and liquidity risk as a necessary part of the business of managing financial assets and liabilities. The Corporation has designed strategies to limit these risks within prudent parameters and identify appropriate risk/reward tradeoffs in the financial structure of the balance sheet. The financial models identify the specific cash flows, repricing timing and embedded option characteristics of the assets and liabilities held by the Corporation. Policies are in place to assure that neither earnings nor fair value at risk exceed appropriate limits. The use of a limited array of derivative financial instruments has allowed the Corporation to achieve the desired balance sheet repricing structure while simultaneously meeting the desired objectives of both its borrowing and depositing customers. The models used include measures of the expected repricing characteristics of administered rate (NOW, savings and money market accounts) and non-rate related products (demand deposit accounts, other assets and other liabilities). These measures recognize the relative insensitivity of these accounts to changes in market interest rates, as demonstrated through current and historical experiences. However, during the second quarter of 2003, the Corporation increased the proportion of these accounts modeled as rate sensitive, in order to recognize the instability of some of the recent balance growth in these accounts. This modeling treatment will be maintained until the incremental balances can be observed across a more complete interest rate cycle. In addition to contractual payment information for most other assets and liabilities, the models also include estimates of expected prepayment characteristics for those items that are likely to materially change their payment structures in different rate environments, including residential mortgage products, certain commercial and commercial real estate loans and certain mortgage- related securities. Estimates for these sensitivities are based on industry assessments and are substantially driven by the differential between the contractual coupon of the item and current market rates for similar products. 44 This information is incorporated into a model that allows the projection of future income levels in several different interest rate environments. Earnings at risk are calculated by modeling income in an environment where rates remain constant, and comparing this result to income in a different rate environment, and then dividing this difference by the Corporation's budgeted operating income before taxes for the calendar year. Since future interest rate moves are difficult to predict, the following table presents two potential scenarios - a gradual increase of 100bp across the entire yield curve over the course of the year (+25bp per quarter), and a gradual decrease of 100bp across the entire yield curve over the course of the year (-25bp per quarter) for the balance sheet as of the indicated dates: Impact to Annual Pretax Income as of ---------------------------------------------------------------------- September 30, June 30, March 31, December 31, September 30, 2005 2005 2005 2004 2004 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hypothetical Change in Interest Rate ------------------------------------ 100 basis point gradual: Rise in rates (0.1)% 0.3 % (0.2)% (0.1)% 0.4 % Decline in rates 0.0 % (0.6)% 0.3 % 0.2 % (0.4)% These results are based solely on the modeled parallel changes in market rates, and do not reflect the earnings sensitivity that may arise from other factors such as changes in the shape of the yield curve and changes in spread between key market rates. These results also do not include any management action to mitigate potential income variances within the simulation process. Such action could potentially include, but would not be limited to, adjustments to the repricing characteristics of any on- or off-balance sheet item with regard to short-term rate projections and current market value assessments. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies. Another component of interest rate risk is measuring the fair value at risk for a given change in market interest rates. The Corporation also uses computer modeling techniques to determine the present value of all asset and liability cash flows (both on- and off-balance sheet), adjusted for prepayment expectations, using a market discount rate. The net change in the present value of the asset and liability cash flows in different market rate environments is the amount of fair value at risk from those rate movements. As of September 30, 2005, the fair value of equity at risk for a gradual 100bp shift in rates was no more than 2.0% of the market value of the Corporation. Equity Risk ----------- In addition to interest rate risk, the Corporation incurs market risk in the form of equity risk. The Corporation invests directly and indirectly through investment funds, in private medium-sized companies to help establish new businesses or recapitalize existing ones. Exposure to the change in equity values for the companies that are held in their portfolio exists. However, fair values are difficult to determine until an actual sale or liquidation transaction actually occurs. At September 30, 2005, the carrying value of total active capital markets investments amounted to approximately $32.0 million. As of September 30, 2005, M&I Trust Services administered $79.7 billion in assets and directly managed a portfolio of $18.7 billion. Exposure exists to changes in equity values due to the fact that fee income is partially based on equity balances. While this exposure is present, quantification remains difficult due to the number of other variables affecting fee income. Interest rate changes can also have an effect on fee income for the above stated reasons. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
