(1) Discontinued operations relates to residual items from the Company’s sale of Travelers Life & Annuity, which closed during the 2005 third quarter, and the Company’s sale of substantially all of its Asset Management Business, which closed during the 2005 fourth quarter. See Note 2 on page 53.
(2) The return on average common stockholders’ equity is calculated using net income minus preferred stock dividends.
(3) Risk capital is a measure of risk levels and the trade-off of risk and return. It is defined as the amount of capital required to absorb potential unexpected economic losses resulting from extremely severe events over a one-year time period. Return on risk capital is calculated as annualized income from continuing operations divided by average risk capital. Invested capital is defined as risk capital plus goodwill and intangible assets excluding mortgage servicing rights (which are a component of risk capital). Return on invested capital is calculated using income adjusted to exclude a net internal charge Citigroup levies on the goodwill and intangible assets of each business offset by each business’ share of the rebate of the goodwill and intangible asset charge. Return on risk capital and return on invested capital are non-GAAP performance measures; because they are measures of risk with no basis in GAAP, there is no comparable GAAP measure to which they can be reconciled. Management uses return on risk capital to assess businesses’ operational performance and to allocate Citigroup’s balance sheet and risk capital capacity. Return on invested capital is used to assess returns on potential acquisitions and to compare long-term performance of businesses with differing proportions of organic and acquired growth. See page 24 for a further discussion of risk capital.
(4) Tier 1 Capital divided by adjusted average assets.
(5) Dividends declared per common share as a percentage of net income per diluted share.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
SECOND QUARTER 2007
MANAGEMENT SUMMARY
Income from continuing operations rose 18% to $6.226 billion and was the highest ever recorded by the Company. Diluted EPS from continuing operations was also up 18%.
Revenues were a record $26.6 billion, up 20% from a year ago, led by Markets & Banking, up 33%. Our international operations recorded revenue growth of 34% in the quarter, with International Consumer up 16%, International Markets & Banking up 50%, and International Global Wealth Management more than doubling. U.S. Consumer revenues grew 3%, while Alternative Investments revenues grew 77%. Acquisitions represented approximately 4% of the revenue growth.
Customer volume growth was strong, with average loans up 16%, average deposits up 20%, and average interest-earning assets up 32%. International Cards purchase sales were up 31%, while U.S. Cards sales were up 6%. In Global Wealth Management, client assets under fee-based management were up 40% from year-ago levels, and client assets in Alternative Investments grew 55%. Branch activity included the opening or acquisition of 160 new branches during the quarter (136 internationally and 24 in the U.S.).
Ten international acquisitions since October of 2006 have been announced, consistent with our efforts to drive growth through a balance of organic investment and targeted acquisitions, and to expand our international franchise. We increased our ownership of Nikko Cordial Corporation to 68% during the second quarter of 2007. Nikko Cordial financial results are now consolidated in Citigroup’s consolidated financial statements.
International businesses contributed 49% of the Company’s revenue in the second quarter of 2007 and 50% of income, up from 43% and 43%, respectively, a year ago. Income and revenue were diversified by segment, product and region.
Net interest revenue increased 16% from last year reflecting volume increases across all products. Net interest margin in the second quarter of 2007 was 2.40%, down 33 basis points from the second quarter of 2006, as lower funding costs were offset by growth in lower-yielding assets in our trading businesses and assets from the Nikko acquisition (see discussion of net interest margin on page 30).
Operating expenses increased 16% from the second quarter of 2006 driven by increased business volumes and acquisitions (which contributed 4%). Expense growth was partially offset by savings from our Structural Expense Initiatives and the release of $300 million of litigation reserves reflecting our continued progress in favorably resolving WorldCom/Research Litigation matters. The relationship between revenue growth and expense growth continued to improve during the quarter with positive operating leverage of 4%.
Credit costs increased $934 million or 59%, primarily driven by an increase in net credit losses of $259 million and a net charge of $465 million to increase loan loss reserves. The $465 million net charge compares to a net reserve release of $210 million in the prior-year period. The build in U.S. Consumer was primarily due to increased reserves to reflect: higher delinquencies in second mortgages in U.S. ConsumerLending, a change in estimate of loan losses inherent in the U.S. Cardsportfolio, and portfolio growth. The increase in International Consumer primarily reflected portfolio growth, an increase in past due accounts and portfolio seasoning in Mexico cards, higher net credit losses in Japan consumer finance, and the impact of recent acquisitions. The Global Consumer loss rate was 1.56%, an 8 basis-point increase from the second quarter of 2006. Corporate cash-basis loans declined 25% from year-ago levels to $599 million.
The effective tax rate was 29.9% in the second quarter of 2007, reflecting $96 million in tax benefits due to the initial application under APB 23 relating to certain foreign subsidiaries’ ability to indefinitely reinvest their earnings abroad. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2006 was 30.3%
Our stockholders’ equity and trust preferred securities grew to $137.8 billion at June 30, 2007. Stockholders’ equity increased by $5.7 billion during the quarter to $127.8 billion. We distributed $2.7 billion in dividends to shareholders. Return on common equity was 20.1% for the quarter. Citigroup maintained its “well-capitalized” position with a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 7.91% at June 30, 2007.
We made good progress on our 2007 priorities: growing U.S. consumer, reweighting our business toward International Consumer, Markets & Banking and Global Wealth Management, expense management, and credit management. We expect that operating expenses, credit costs and income taxes in the third quarter of 2007 will have challenging comparisons to the third quarter of 2006. The challenging comparison is due to an unusually low level of operating expenses and certain tax benefits recorded in the third quarter of 2006, as well as the expectation that the consumer credit environment will continue to deteriorate in the second half of 2007 causing higher credit costs.
So far in the third quarter of 2007, we have continued to experience an increased level of delinquencies in our consumer mortgage portfolio, and some fixed income securities have experienced meaningful price deterioration due to a widening of credit spreads. This credit spread widening has negatively affected the valuation of certain fixed income securities that the Company holds and may affect the sale of certain debt financing commitments that the Company has with clients. See additional discussion on pages 18, 19 and 26.

EVENTS IN 2007 AND 2006
Certain of the following statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 44. Additional information regarding “Events in 2007 and 2006” is available in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Nikko Cordial
On May 9, 2007, Citigroup completed its successful tender offer to become the majority shareholder of Nikko Cordial Corporation in Japan. Approximately 56% of Nikko’s shares were acquired in the tender offer for a total cost of approximately $7.7 billion, bringing Citigroup’s aggregate ownership stake in Nikko to approximately 61%. Citigroup later acquired additional Nikko shares to bring its aggregate ownership stake in Nikko to approximately 68% at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, Citigroup consolidated Nikko Cordial financial results including the appropriate Minority Interest. Results for Nikko are included from May 9, 2007 forward.
Credit Reserves
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a net build of $465 million to its credit reserves, consisting of a net build of $491 million in Global Consumer and a net release/utilization of $26 million in Markets & Banking.
The build of $491 million in Global Consumer was primarily due to increased reserves to reflect: increased delinquencies in second mortgages in U.S. Consumer Lending; a change in estimate of loan losses inherent in the U.S. Cards portfolio; an increase in past due accounts and portfolio seasoning in Mexico cards; the impact of recent acquisitions; and overall growth in the portfolio.
The net build to its credit reserves in the second quarter of 2007 compares to the second quarter of 2006 net release/ utilization of $210 million, which consisted of a net release/ utilization of $328 million in Global Consumer and Global Wealth Management, and a net build of $118 million in Markets & Banking.
Acquisition of Grupo Cuscatlan
On May 11, 2007, Citigroup completed the acquisition of the subsidiaries of Grupo Cuscatlan for $1.51 billion ($755 million in cash and 14.2 million Citigroup shares) from Corporacion UBC Internacional S.A. Grupo Cuscatlan is one of the leading financial groups in Central America, with assets of $5.4 billion, loans of $3.5 billion, and deposits of $3.4 billion. Grupo Cuscatlan has operations in El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras and Panamá. The results of Grupo Cuscatlan are included from May 11, 2007 forward and are recorded in International Retail Banking.
Acquisition of Egg
On May 1, 2007, Citigroup completed its acquisition of Egg Banking plc (Egg), the world’s largest pure online bank and one of the U.K.’s leading online financial services providers, from Prudential PLC for approximately $1.15 billion. Egg has more than three million customers and offers various financial products and services including online payment and account aggregation services, credit cards, personal loans, savings accounts, mortgages, insurance and investments.
Acquisition of Bisys
On August 1, 2007, the Company completed its acquisition of Bisys Group, Inc. (Bisys) for $1.44 billion in cash. In addition, Bisys’ shareholders will receive $18.2 million in the form of a special dividend paid by Bisys. Citigroup completed the sale of the Retirement and Insurance Services Divisions of Bisys to affiliates of J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC, making the net cost of the transaction to Citigroup approximately $800 million. Citigroup will retain the Fund Services and Alternative Investment services businesses of Bisys which provides administrative services for hedge funds, mutual funds and private equity funds. Bisys will be included within Citigroup’s Transaction Services business.
Acquisition of Old Lane Partners, L.P.
On July 2, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of Old Lane Partners, L.P. and Old Lane Partners, GP, LLC (Old Lane). Old Lane is the manager of a global, multi-strategy hedge fund and a private equity fund with total assets under management and private equity commitments of approximately $4.5 billion. Old Lane will operate as part of Alternative Investments (AI), Citigroup’s integrated alternative investments platform. Old Lane’s Vikram Pandit became the Chief Executive Officer of AI.
Agreement to Establish Partnership with Quiñenco—Banco de Chile
On July 19, 2007, Citigroup and Quiñenco entered into a definitive agreement to establish a strategic partnership that combines Citi operations in Chile with Banco de Chile’s local banking franchise to create a banking and financial services institution with about 20% market share of the Chilean banking industry.
Under the agreement, Citi will initially acquire an approximate 32.96% stake in LQIF, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quiñenco that will then hold 57.1% of the voting rights and a 37.8% economic interest in Banco de Chile. In the initial phase, Citi will contribute Citi Chile and other assets (in cash or other businesses) for a total investment valued at $893 million. As part of the overall transaction, Citi will also acquire the U.S. businesses of Banco de Chile for approximately $130 million. Citi has the option to acquire an additional 17.04% stake in LQIF for approximately $900 million within three years. The new partnership calls for active participation by Citi in management of Banco de Chile, including board representation at both LQIF and Banco de Chile.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2008, and is subject to customary regulatory reviews.
Acquisition of Automated Trading Desk
On July 2, 2007, Citigroup announced the agreement to acquire Automated Trading Desk (ATD), a leader in electronic market making and proprietary trading, for approximately $680 million ($102.6 million in cash and approximately 11.12 million shares of Citigroup stock). ATD will operate as a unit of Citigroup’s Global Equities business, adding a network of broker/dealer customers to Citigroup’s diverse base of institutional, broker/dealer and retail customers. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2007.
Acquisition of Bank of Overseas Chinese
On April 9, 2007, Citigroup announced the agreement to acquire 100% of Bank of Overseas Chinese (BOOC) in Taiwan for approximately $427 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. BOOC offers a broad suite of corporate banking, consumer and wealth management products and services to more than one million clients through 55 branches in Taiwan.
This transaction will strengthen Citigroup’s presence in Asia making it the largest international bank and 13th largest by total assets among all domestic Taiwan banks. Citigroup’s acquisition of BOOC is subject to shareholder and U.S. and Taiwanese regulatory approvals and is expected to close during the second half of 2007.
Redecard IPO
On July 11, 2007, Citigroup (a 31.9% shareholder in Redecard S.A., the only merchant acquiring company for MasterCard in Brazil) sold 41.75 million Redecard shares as part of Redecard’s initial public offering. After the sale of these shares, Citigroup remains a 25% shareholder in Redecard. An after-tax gain of approximately $400 million will be recorded in Citigroup’s third quarter of 2007 financial results.
Resolution of Federal Tax Audit
In March 2006, the Company received a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that they had concluded the tax audit for the years 1999 through 2002 (referred to hereinafter as the “resolution of the Federal Tax Audit”). For the first quarter of 2006, the Company released a total of $657 million from its tax contingency reserves related to the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit.

Adoption of the Accounting for Share-Based Payments
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R)), which replaced the existing SFAS 123 and superseded Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to measure and record compensation expense for stock options and other share-based payments based on the instruments’ fair value, reduced by expected forfeitures.
In adopting this standard, the Company conformed to recent accounting guidance that restricted or deferred stock awards issued to retirement-eligible employees who meet certain age and service requirements must be either expensed on the grant date or accrued over a service period prior to the grant date. This charge consisted of $398 million after-tax ($648 million pretax) for the immediate expensing of awards granted to retirement-eligible employees in January 2006.
The following table summarizes the SFAS 123(R) impact, by segment, on the 2006 first quarter pretax compensation expense for stock awards granted to retirement-eligible employees in January 2006 (“the 2006 initial adoption of SFAS 123(R)”):

The Company recorded the quarterly accrual for the stock awards that were granted in January 2007 during each of the quarters in 2006. During the first and second quarters of 2007, the Company recorded the quarterly accrual for the estimated stock awards that will be granted in January 2008.

2Q07 vs. 2Q06
Net Interest Revenuewas 2% better than the prior year, as growth in average deposits and loans of 20% and 9%, respectively, was partially offset by a decrease in net interest margins. Net interest margins declined due to an increase in higher-cost time deposit and e-savings balances, the securitization of higher-margin credit card receivables, and a mix toward lower-yielding mortgage assets.
Non-Interest Revenue increased 3% primarily due to higher loan and deposit volumes, 6% growth in Card purchase sales, and a higher level of securitized Card receivables. Growth was also driven by higher gains on sale of mortgage loans and net servicing revenues, and the impact of the acquisition of ABN AMRO Mortgage Group in the first quarter of 2007. Second quarter of 2006 results also included a $132 million pretax gain from the sale of upstate New York branches.
Operating expenses increased primarily due to acquisitions and increased investment spending, including 24 new branch openings during the quarter (15 in CitiFinancial and 9 in Citibank). Higher volume-related expenses primarily reflected 18% growth in loan originations in Consumer Lending.
Provisions for loan lossesand for benefits and claims increased primarily reflecting a change in estimate of loan losses inherent in the U.S. Cards portfolio, portfolio seasoning and delinquencies in second mortgages, and higher loan volumes. The increase in provision for loan losses also reflected the absence of loan loss reserve releases recorded in the prior year. The net credit loss ratio increased 12 basis points to 1.26%.
2007 YTD vs. 2006 YTD
Net Interest Revenue was 2% better than the prior year, as growth in average deposits and loans of 20% and 10%, respectively, and higher risk-based fees in Cards, was partially offset by a decrease in net interest margins. Net interest margins declined due to an increase in higher-cost time deposit and e-savings balances, and the securitization of higher margin credit card receivables.
Non-Interest Revenue increased 8% primarily due to higher loan and deposit volumes, and 6% growth in Card purchase sales. Non-interest revenues also reflected a $161 million net pretax gain on the sale of MasterCard shares, the impact of the acquisition of ABN AMRO Mortgage Group in the first quarter of 2007, and higher gains on sale of mortgage loan and net servicing revenues. Second quarter of 2006 results also included a $132 million pretax gain from the sale of upstate New York branches.
Operating expenses increased primarily due to acquisitions, increased investment spending related to the 75 new branch openings during the first half of 2007 (45 in CitiFinancial and 30 in Citibank), and costs associated with Citibank Direct. The increase in 2007 was also favorably affected by the absence of the charge related to the initial adoption of SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006. Higher volume-related expenses primarily reflected 20% growth in loan originations in Consumer Lending businesses.
Provisions for loan lossesand for benefits and claims increased primarily reflecting a change in estimate of loan losses inherent in the U.S. Cards portfolio. The increase in provision for loan losses also reflected the absence of loan loss reserve releases recorded in the prior year, higher loan volumes, portfolio seasoning and increased delinquencies in
second mortgages, as well as an increase in bankruptcy filings over unusually low filing levels experienced in the first half of 2006. The net credit loss ratio increased 9 basis points to 1.27%.
The Net income decline in 2007 also reflects the absence of a $175 million tax benefit resulting from the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit from the first quarter of 2006.

Net Interest Revenueincreased 18%. Growth was driven by higher average loans, as well as the impact of the acquisitions of Grupo Financiero Uno, Egg, Grupo Cuscatlan, and CrediCard.
Non-Interest Revenue increased 13%, primarily due to higher Card purchase sales, up 31%, and increased investment product sales, up 46%. By region, the growth was led by Japan—Cards and Retail Banking, Latin America, Asia, and EMEA.The positive impact of foreign currency translation also contributed to increases in revenues. The 2006 second quarter included a gain on the MasterCard IPO of $55 million.
Excluding the impact of Japan Consumer Finance, revenues increased 24%.
Operating expenses increased, reflecting the integration of the CrediCard portfolio, the acquisitions of Grupo Financiero Uno, Grupo Cuscatlan, and Egg, and an increase in ownership in Nikko. Expense growth also reflects volume growth across the regions (excluding Japan Consumer Finance), continued investment spending, including 136 branches opened or acquired, higher customer activity, and the impact of foreign currency translation.
Provisions for loan losses and for benefits and claims increased 54% driven by portfolio growth, increased past due accounts and targeted market expansion in Mexico, the integration of acquisitions, higher net credit losses in Japan Consumer Finance, and the absence of 2006 second quarter loan loss reserve releases.
Net income was also affected by the absence of prior-year Mexico tax benefits of $70 million related to APB 23.
In Citigroup’s 2006 Form 10-K the Company stated that it expected its consumer finance business in Japan to break even in 2007. However, the situation remains unpredictable; and given the Company’s recent experience with the level of Grey Zone related refund claims, the Company’s best estimate now is that the business will have net losses in 2007. The Company will continue to analyze the profitability prospects for this business thereafter.
Net Interest Revenue increased 15% overall, 26% after excluding the impact of Japan Consumer Finance. Growth was driven by higher average receivables, as well as the impact of the acquisitions of Grupo Financiero Uno, Egg, Grupo Cuscatlan, and CrediCard, and increased ownership in Nikko Cordial.
Non-Interest Revenue increased 16%, primarily due to higher purchase sales, up 28% in Cards, increased investment product sales, up 40% in Retail Banking, and growth across all regions. The positive impact of foreign currency translation and a year-over-year gain on the MasterCard IPO of $53 million also contributed to the increase in revenues.
Operating expenses increased, reflecting the integration of the CrediCard portfolio and the acquisitions of Grupo Financiero Uno, Grupo Cuscatlan, and Egg, and increased ownership in Nikko along with volume growth across the products and regions, continued investment spending driven by 269 branches opened or acquired, higher customer activity, and the impact of foreign currency translation. The increase in YTD 2007 expenses was also favorably affected by the absence of the charge related to the initial adoption of FAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006.
Provision for loan losses increased 56% driven by portfolio growth, increased past due accounts and portfolio seasoning in Mexico, the integration of acquisitions, and higher net credit losses in Japan Consumer Finance. These increases were partially offset by the absence of a 2006 second quarter loan loss reserve release.
Net Income was also affected by the absence of prior-year tax benefit impact of $190 million primarily resulting from APB 23 and the absence of a prior-year $75 million benefit from tax reserve releases related to the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit in the first quarter of 2006.

Revenues, net of interest expense, increased driven by broad-based performance across products and regions. Equity Markets revenues increased driven by strong growth globally, including cash trading, derivatives products, equity finance and convertibles. Fixed Income Markets revenue increases were driven by improved results across interest rates and currencies, credit and securitized products, and commodities. Investment Banking revenue growth was driven by higher equity underwriting and advisory and other fees. Transaction Services revenues increased reflecting growth in liability balances and assets under custody, higher net interest margins in Cash Management and Securities and Funds Services.
Operating expensesincreased due to higher business volumes, compensation costs and growth due to acquisitions. The growth in the second quarter of 2007 was favorably affected by a $300 million pretax release of litigation reserves.
The provision for credit losses decreased reflecting a stable global corporate credit environment and the absence of a $118 million net increase to loan loss reserves recorded in the prior-year period.
Markets & Banking’s exposure in the subprime secured lending market is divided between secured lending and trading, which together accounted for approximately 2% of the Securities and Banking revenues in full-year 2006.
The Company has been actively managing down its secured lending exposure. In addition, the Company has been adjusting clients’ collateral and margin requirements during these periods.
Citigroup continues to be an active market-maker in trading activities. As such, the Company hedges risks, using a variety of methods to monitor very carefully the ongoing credit quality of counterparties. The Company monitors its subprime business daily and has a rigorous process for marking the Company’s positions using fundamental valuation techniques, market references, and liquidity analysis.
Leveraged lending accounted for approximately 5% of Securities and Banking revenues in the second quarter of 2006. As of June 30, 2007, there were four committed transactions which required re-pricing. For those transactions, the Company recorded losses on its commitments, which were recorded in commissions and fees revenue during the second quarter of 2007. The Company has made commitments to finance other similar transactions which will likely require an adjustment to price and terms.
The Company believes that when these transactions are re-priced, these transactions will be sold to investors. In a small subset of these transactions, the Company has extended equity bridge commitments to top-tier clients in connection with the Company’s leveraged financing activities.
Revenues, net of interest expense, increased, driven by broad-based performance across products and regions and by the $402 million benefit from the adoption of SFAS 157. Equity Markets revenues increased, driven by strong growth globally, including cash trading, derivatives products, equity finance, convertibles and prime brokerage. Fixed Income Markets revenue increases were driven by improved results across all products, including interest rates and currencies, and credit and securitized products and commodities. Investment Banking revenue growth was driven by higher equity underwriting and advisory and other fees. Transaction Services revenues increased reflecting growth in liability balances and assets under custody, higher net interest margins in Cash Management and Securities and Funds Services.
Operating expensesgrowth was primarily driven by higher business volumes and compensation costs. The growth in 2007 was favorably affected by the absence of a $354 million charge related to the initial adoption of SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006 and a $300 million pretax release of litigation reserves in the second quarter of 2007.
The provision for credit losses increased due to a net charge of $286 million in the first quarter of 2007 to increase loan loss reserves. The increase in loan loss reserves was driven by portfolio growth, which includes higher commitments to leveraged transactions and an increase in average loan tenor. This was partially offset by a decrease in the second quarter reflecting a stable global corporate credit environment and the absence of a $118 million net increase to loan loss reserves recorded in the prior-year second quarter.

(2) During the second quarter of 2007, U.S. Consumer’s Retail Distributiontransferred approximately $47 billion of Client Assets, 686 Financial Advisors and 79 branches to Smith Barneyrelated to the consolidation of Citicorp Investment Services (CIS) into Smith Barney.
Revenues, net of interest expense, of $3.197 billion in the second quarter of 2007 increased $705 million, or 28%, from the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the acquisition of Nikko; an increase in fee-based and recurring net interest revenue, reflecting the continued advisory-based strategy; an increase in international revenues, driven by strong Capital Markets activity in Asia; and strong domestic syndicate sales. Total assets under fee-based management were $509 billion as of June 30, 2007, up $146 billion, or 40%, from the prior-year period. Total client assets, including assets under fee-based management, of $1,788 billion in the second quarter of 2007 increased $467 billion, or 35%, compared to the prior-year quarter, reflecting organic growth and the acquisition of Nikko and Quilter client assets, as well as the transfer of CIS assets from U.S. Consumer on June 30, 2007. Global Wealth Management had 15,595 financial advisors/bankers as of June 30, 2007, compared with 13,671 as of June 30, 2006, driven by the Nikko and Quilter acquisitions, the CIS transfer, and hiring in the Private Bank. Annualized revenue per FA/banker of $878,000 increased 21% from the prior-year quarter.
Operating expenses of $2.455 billion in the second quarter of 2007 increased $494 million from the prior-year
quarter. The expense increase in 2007 was mainly driven by the Nikko and Quilter acquisitions as well as higher variable compensation associated with increased business volumes.
The provision for loan losses increased $4 million, or 50%. The provision of $12 million in the current quarter was driven by portfolio growth.
Net Incomein the 2007 second quarter included a $65 million APB 23 benefit in Private Bank.
Revenues, net of interest expense, of $6.015 billion in the first half of 2007 increased $1.040 billion, or 21%, from the prior-year period, primarily due to a 77% increase in international revenues, driven by the Nikko acquisition, strong Capital Markets activity in Asia and Latin America, and higher domestic syndicate sales. Net flows were $6 billion compared to ($1) billion in the prior-year first half.
Operating expenses of $4.557 billion in the first half of 2007 increased $541 million from the prior year. The expense increase in 2007 was favorably affected by the absence of the charge related to the initial adoption of SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006 of $145 million. Additionally, the increase in expenses was driven by the Nikko and Quilter acquisitions and higher variable compensation associated with increased business volumes.
The provision for loan losses increased $16 million, primarily driven by portfolio growth.

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $1.032 billion in the second quarter of 2007 increased $448 million or 77%.
Total proprietary revenues, net of interest expense, for the second quarter of 2007 of $910 million, were composed of revenues from private equity of $711 million, hedge funds of $119 million and other investment activity of $80 million. Private equity revenue increased $195 million from the 2006 second quarter, primarily driven by higher realized and unrealized gains. Hedge fund revenue improved by $162 million, largely due to a higher investment performance. Other investment activities revenue increased $66 million from the 2006 second quarter, largely due to realized and unrealized real estate gains and the mark-to-market value on Citigroup’s investments. Client revenues increased $25 million, reflecting increased management fees from a 55% growth in average client capital under management.
Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2007 of $215 million increased $16 million from the second quarter of 2006, primarily due to increased performance-driven compensation and higher employee-related expenses.
Minority interest, net of taxes, in the second quarter of 2007 of $64 million increased $61 million from the second quarter of 2006, primarily due to higher private equity gains related to underlying investments held by consolidated majority-owned legal entities. The impact of minority interest is reflected in fees, dividends, and interest, and net realized
and net change in unrealized gains consistent with proceeds received by minority interests.
Proprietary capital under managementof $11.8 billion increased $506 million from the second quarter 2006, as increases in private equity and hedge funds were partially offset by the sale of MetLife shares in July 2006.
Client capital under managementof $47.4 billion in the 2007 second quarter increased $16.8 billion from the 2006 second quarter, due to inflows from institutional and high-net-worth clients.
On July 2, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of Old Lane Partners, L.P. and Old Lane Partners, GP, LLC (Old Lane). Old Lane is the manager of a global, multi-strategy hedge fund and a private equity fund with total assets under management and private equity commitments of approximately $4.5 billion. Old Lane will operate as part of AI. Old Lane’s Vikram Pandit became the Chief Executive Officer of AI.
Revenues, net of interest expense, of $1.594 billion in the first six months of 2007 increased $335 million, or 27%.
Total proprietary revenues, net of interest expense, for the first six months of 2007 of $1.346 billion, were composed of revenues from private equity of $1.072 billion, hedge funds of $166 million and other investment activity of $108 million. Private equity revenue increased $343 million from the first six months of 2006, primarily driven by higher realized and unrealized gains. Hedge fund revenue increased $102 million, largely due to higher investment performance on an increased asset base. Other investment activities revenue decreased $170 million from the first six months of 2006, largely due to the absence of gains from the liquidation during 2006 of Citigroup’s investment in St. Paul shares. Client revenues increased $60 million, reflecting increased management fees from a 53% growth in average client capital under management.
Operating expenses in the first six months of 2007 of $395 million increased $15 million from the first six months of 2006, primarily due to increased performance-driven compensation and higher employee-related expenses.
Minority interest, net of taxes, in the first six months of 2007 of $85 million increased $52 million from the first six months of 2006, primarily due to higher private equity gains related to underlying investments held by consolidated majority-owned legal entities. The impact of minority interest is reflected in fees, dividends, and interest, and net realized gains/(losses) consistent with proceeds received by minority interests.
Net Income in the first six months 2006 reflects higher tax benefits including $58 million resulting from the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit in the first quarter of 2006.
CORPORATE/OTHER
Corporate/Other includes treasury results, the 2007 restructuring charges, unallocated corporate expenses, offsets to certain line-item reclassifications reported in the business segments (inter-segment eliminations), the results of discontinued operations and unallocated taxes.

Revenues, net of interest expense, increased, primarily due to improved treasury results, partially offset by higher intersegment eliminations. Lower overall rates, partially offset by higher funding balances, drove the improvement in treasury revenues.
Restructuring expense. See Note 7 on page 57 for details on the 2007 restructuring charge.
Other operating expenses increased, primarily due to increased staffing, technology and other unallocated expenses, partially offset by higher intersegment eliminations.
Income tax benefits increased due to the higher pretax loss in the current year.
Revenues, net of interest expense, increased, primarily due to improved treasury results and a gain on the sale of certain corporate-owned assets, partially offset by higher intersegment eliminations. Lower overall rates drove the improvement in treasury revenues.
Income tax benefits increased due to the higher pretax loss in the current year, offset by a prior-year tax reserve release of $61 million relating to the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit.
Discontinued operations represent the operations in the Company’s Sale of the Asset Management Business to Legg Mason Inc., and the Sale of the Life Insurance and Annuities Business. For 2006, income from discontinued operations included a gain from the Sale of the Asset Management Business in Poland, as well as a tax reserve release of $59 million relating to the resolution of the Federal Tax Audit. See Note 2 on page 53.

Citigroup’s total allowance for loans, leases and unfunded lending commitments of $11.481 billion is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire portfolio. For analytical purposes only, the portion of Citigroup’s allowance for credit losses attributed to the Consumer portfolio was $7.206 billion at June 30, 2007, $6.338 billion at March 31, 2007 and $6.311 billion at June 30, 2006. The increase in the allowance for credit losses from June 30, 2006 of $895 million included net builds of $691 million.
The net builds primarily related to: increased delinquencies in second mortgages in U.S. Consumer Lending; a change in estimate of loan losses inherent in the U.S. Cards portfolio; targeted market expansion, an increase in past due accounts, and portfolio seasoning in Mexico cards; increased reserves in Japan, primarily related to the change in the operating environment in the consumer finance business and the passage on December 13, 2006 of changes to Japan’s consumer lending laws; and overall growth in the Consumer portfolio.
Additionally, the allowance had an increase of $204 million primarily due to: the addition of $580 million related to the acquisition of Egg, Nikko and Grupo Financiero Uno, and increased ownership in Nikko Cordial; offset by a reduction of $459 million related to securitizations, transfers to loans held-for-sale, and sales of portfolios in the U.S. Cardsbusiness.
On-balance sheet consumer loans of $548.6 billion increased $70.3 billion, or 15%, from June 30, 2006, primarily driven by U.S. Consumer Lending,U.S. Retail Distribution, Global Wealth Management, International Cards and International Retail Banking. Net credit losses, delinquencies and the related ratios are affected by the credit performance of the portfolios, including bankruptcies, unemployment, global economic conditions, portfolio growth and seasonal factors, as well as macro-economic and regulatory policies.
U.S. Consumer Mortgage Portfolio
The Company’s U.S. Consumer Mortgage portfolio consists of both first and second mortgages. As of June 30, 2007, approximately 85% of the Company’s first mortgage portfolio had a FICO (Fair Isaac Corporation) credit score of at least 620 at origination. Approximately 72% of the first mortgage portfolio had a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 80% or less at origination.
In the Company’s second mortgage portfolio, there were substantially less than 1% of loans at June 30, 2007 with a FICO score of less than 620 at origination. Approximately 48% of the second mortgage portfolio had an LTV ratio of 80% or less at origination.
In light of increased delinquencies, the Company has increased reserves for loans in its second mortgage portfolio during the first six months of 2007. There were minimal changes in the composition of the U.S. Consumer Mortgage portfolio from March 31, 2007 to June 30, 2007.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Market risk encompasses liquidity risk and price risk, both of which arise in the normal course of business of a global financial intermediary. Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity may be unable to meet a financial commitment to a customer, creditor, or investor when due. Liquidity risk is discussed in the “Capital Resources and Liquidity” on page 38. Price risk is the earnings risk from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices, and in their implied volatilities. Price risk arises in non-trading portfolios, as well as in trading portfolios.
The exposures in the following table represent the approximate annualized risk to NIR assuming an unanticipated parallel instantaneous 100bp change, as well as a more gradual 100bp (25bp per quarter) parallel change in rates as compared with the market forward interest rates in selected currencies.
The exposures in the following tables do not include interest rate exposures (IRE) for Nikko Cordial due to the unavailability of information. Nikko’s IRE exposure is primarily denominated in Japanese yen.

(1) The 2007 second quarter includes Nikko Cordial from May 9, 2007 forward. Excluding Nikko Cordial, the average rate on Interest-Earning Assets and Interest-Bearing Liabilities would have been 6.56% and 4.51%, respectively. Net Interest Revenue as a percentage of Average Interest-Earning Assets (NIM) would have been 2.45% in the second quarter of 2007.
(2) Excludes taxable equivalent adjustment (based on the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate of 35%) of $45 million, $15 million, and $25 million for the second quarter of 2007, the first quarter of 2007, and the second quarter of 2006, respectively.
(3) Excludes expenses associated with hybrid financial instruments and beneficial interest in consolidated VIEs. These obligations are classified as Long-Term Debt and accounted for at fair value with changes recorded in Principal Transactions.
A significant portion of the Company’s business activities are based upon gathering deposits and borrowing money and then lending or investing those funds, including market-making activities in tradable securities. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing gross interest revenue less gross interest expense by average interest earning assets.
During 2007, pressure on net interest margin continued. Net Interest Margin was mainly impacted by the results of Nikko Cordial, consolidated from May 9, 2007 forward. The average rate on assets reflected a highly competitive loan pricing environment, as well as a shift in the Company’s loan portfolio from higher-yielding credit card receivables to assets that carry lower yields, such as mortgages and home equity loans.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Citigroup is subject to risk-based capital ratio guidelines issued by the FRB. Capital adequacy is measured via two risk-based ratios, Tier 1 and Total Capital (Tier 1 + Tier 2 Capital). Tier 1 Capital is considered core capital while Total Capital also includes other items such as subordinated debt and loan loss reserves. Both measures of capital are stated as a percent of risk-adjusted assets. Risk-adjusted assets are measured primarily on their perceived credit risk and include certain off-balance sheet exposures, such as unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit and the notional amounts of derivative and foreign exchange contracts. Citigroup is also subject to the Leverage Ratio requirement, a non-risk-based asset ratio, which is defined as Tier 1 Capital as a percentage of adjusted average assets.
To be “well capitalized” under federal bank regulatory agency definitions, a bank holding company must have a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of at least 6%, a Total Capital Ratio of at least 10%, and a Leverage Ratio of at least 3%, and not be subject to an FRB directive to maintain higher capital levels.
Citigroup maintained a “well capitalized” position during the first six months of 2007 and the full year of 2006:

(3) The impact related to using Citigroup’s credit rating under the adoption of SFAS 157 is excluded from Tier 1 Capital at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively.

Institutions are required to deduct from Tier 1 Capital net unrealized holding losses on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair values, net of tax. The federal bank regulatory agencies permit institutions to include in Tier 2 Capital up to 45% of pretax net unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair values, net of tax.
(2) The FRB granted interim capital relief for the impact of adopting SFAS 158.
(4) Includable up to 1.25% of risk-adjusted assets. Any excess allowance is deducted from risk-adjusted assets.
(5) Includes qualifying subordinated debt in an amount not exceeding 50% of Tier 1 Capital.
(6) Includes risk-weighted credit equivalent amounts, net of applicable bilateral netting agreements, of $88.8 billion for interest rate, commodity and equity derivative contracts and foreign-exchange contracts as of June 30, 2007, compared with $87.3 billion as of March 31, 2007 and $77.1 billion as of December 31, 2006. Market risk-equivalent assets included in risk-adjusted assets amounted to $60.3 billion, $43.3 billion, and $40.1 billion at June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively. Risk-adjusted assets also include the effect of other off-balance sheet exposures, such as unused loan commitments and letters of credit, and reflects deductions for certain intangible assets and any excess allowance for credit losses.
Common stockholders’ equity increased approximately $8.4 billion during the first six months of 2007 to $127.2 billion at June 30, 2007, representing 5.7% of assets. This compares to $118.8 billion and 6.3% at year-end 2006.

· SFAS 157, for $75 million,
· SFAS No. 159, for ($99) million,
· FSP No. FAS 13-2, “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction” (FSP 13-2) for ($148) million, and
· FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48) for ($14) million.
See Note 1 and Note 16 on pages 51 and 71, respectively.
(2) The after-tax adjustment to the opening balance of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) represents the reclassification of the unrealized gains (losses) related to the Legg Mason securities as well as several miscellaneous items previously reported in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (SFAS 115). These available-for-sale securities were reclassified to retained earnings upon the adoption of the fair value option in accordance with SFAS 159. See Note 1 and 16 on pages 51 and 71, respectively, for further discussions.
The decrease in the common stockholders’ equity ratio during the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflected the above items and a 17.9% increase in total assets.
On April 17, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized up to an additional $10 billion in share repurchases. As of June 30, 2007, $6.8 billion remained under authorized repurchase programs after the repurchase of $653 million and $7.0 billion in shares during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and full year 2006, respectively. As a result of the Company’s recent acquisitions, the successful Nikko tender offer, and other growth opportunities, it is anticipated that the Company will not resume its share repurchase program for the remainder of the year. This is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 44. For further details, see “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” on page 92.
On June 18, 2007, Citigroup redeemed for cash shares of its 6.365% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series F, at the redemption price of $50 per depository share plus accrued dividends to the date of redemption.
On July 11, 2007, Citigroup redeemed for cash shares of its 6.213% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series G, at the redemption price of $50 per depository share plus accrued dividends to the date of redemption. Because notice for redemption of these shares occurred prior to quarter-end, they did not qualify as Tier 1 Capital at June 30, 2007.

Citibank, N.A. Regulatory Capital Ratios(1)
Citigroup’s subsidiary depository institutions in the United States are subject to risk-based capital guidelines issued by their respective primary federal bank regulatory agencies, which are similar to the FRB’s guidelines. To be “well capitalized” under federal bank regulatory agency definitions, Citigroup’s depository institutions must have a Tier 1 Capital Ratio of at least 6%, a Total Capital (Tier 1 + Tier 2 Capital) Ratio of at least 10% and a Leverage Ratio of at least 5%, and not be subject to a regulatory directive to meet and maintain higher capital levels. At June 30, 2007, all of Citigroup’s subsidiary depository institutions were “well capitalized” under the federal regulatory agencies’ definitions, including Citigroup’s primary depository institution, Citibank, N.A., as noted in the following table:

(2) The impact related to using Citigroup’s credit rating under the adoption of SFAS 157 is excluded from Tier 1 Capital at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively.
Citibank, N.A. had net income for the second quarter of 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $3.0 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively. During the second quarter of 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007, Citibank received contributions from parent company of $3.7 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively.
During the first six months of 2007 and full year 2006, Citibank issued an additional $2.4 billion and $7.8 billion, respectively, of subordinated notes to Citicorp Holdings Inc. that qualify for inclusion in Citibank, N.A.’s Tier 2 Capital. Total subordinated notes issued to Citicorp Holdings Inc. that were outstanding at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and included in Citibank, N.A.’s Tier 2 Capital amounted to $25.4 billion and $23.0 billion, respectively.
At June 30, 2007, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Global Markets Holding Inc., had net capital, computed in accordance with the Net Capital Rule, of $4.4 billion, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $3.6 billion.
In addition, certain of the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to regulation in the other countries in which they do business, including requirements to maintain specified levels of net capital or its equivalent. The Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries were in compliance with their capital requirements at June 30, 2007.
Citigroup generally supports the move to a new set of risk-based regulatory capital standards, published on June 26, 2004 (and subsequently amended in November 2005) by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the Basel Committee), consisting of central banks and bank supervisors from 13 countries. The international version of the Basel II framework will allow Citigroup to leverage internal risk models used to measure credit, operational, and market risk exposures to drive regulatory capital calculations.
On July 20, 2007, the U.S. banking regulators announced that the implementation of Basel II in the U.S. should be technically consistent in most aspects with the international version. This should lead to the finalization of a rule for implementing the advanced approaches for computing Citigroup’s risk-based capital requirements under Basel II. The U.S. implementation timetable is expected to consist of parallel calculations under the current regulatory capital regime (Basel I) and Basel II, starting January 1, 2008, and an implementation transition period, starting January 1, 2009 through year-end 2011 or possibly later. The U.S. regulators have reserved the right to change how Basel II is applied in the U.S. following a review at the end of the second year of the transitional period, and to retain the existing Prompt Corrective Action and leverage capital requirements applicable to U.S. banking organizations.
Citigroup continues to monitor, analyze and comment on the developing capital standards in the U.S. and in countries where Citigroup has a significant presence, in order to assess their collective impact and allocate project management and funding resources accordingly.
LIQUIDITY
At the Holding Company level for Citigroup, for CGMHI, and for the Combined Holding Company and CGMHI, Citigroup maintains sufficient liquidity to meet all maturing unsecured debt obligations due within a one-year time horizon without accessing the unsecured markets.
FUNDING
As a financial holding company, substantially all of Citigroup’s net earnings are generated within its operating subsidiaries. These subsidiaries make funds available to Citigroup, primarily in the form of dividends. Certain subsidiaries’ dividend paying abilities may be limited by covenant restrictions in credit agreements, regulatory requirements and/or rating agency requirements that also impact their capitalization levels.
At June 30, 2007, long-term debt and commercial paper outstanding for Citigroup Parent Company, CGMHI, Citigroup Funding Inc. and Citigroup’s other subsidiaries were as follows:

(1) At June 30, 2007, approximately $90.2 billion relates to collateralized advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
See Note 12 on page 61 for further detail on long-term debt and commercial paper outstanding.
Citigroup’s ability to access the capital markets and other sources of wholesale funds, as well as the cost of these funds, is highly dependent on its credit ratings. The accompanying chart shows the ratings for Citigroup at June 30, 2007. The outlook for all of Citigroup’s ratings is “stable.”
There are various legal limitations on the ability of Citigroup’s subsidiary depository institutions to extend credit, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to Citigroup and its nonbank subsidiaries. The approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, in the case of national banks, or the Office of Thrift Supervision, in the case of federal savings banks, is required if total dividends declared in any calendar year exceed amounts specified by the applicable agency’s regulations. State-chartered depository institutions are subject to dividend limitations imposed by applicable state law.
As of June 30, 2007, Citigroup’s subsidiary depository institutions can declare dividends to their parent companies, without regulatory approval, of approximately $16.3 billion. In determining the dividends, each depository institution must also consider its effect on applicable risk-based capital and Leverage Ratio requirements, as well as policy statements of the federal regulatory agencies that indicate that banking organizations should generally pay dividends out of current operating earnings. Consistent with these considerations, Citigroup estimates that, as of June 30, 2007, its subsidiary depository institutions can distribute dividends to Citigroup of approximately $9.6 billion of the available $16.3 billion.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Overview
Citigroup and its subsidiaries are involved with several types of off-balance sheet arrangements, including special purpose entities (SPEs), lines and letters of credit, and loan commitments.
The securitization process enhances the liquidity of the financial markets, may spread credit risk among several market participants, and makes new funds available to extend credit to consumers and commercial entities.
In some of these off-balance sheet arrangements, including credit card receivable and mortgage loan securitizations, Citigroup is securitizing assets that were previously recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. A summary of certain cash flows received from and paid to securitization trusts is included in Note 13 on page 63.
Credit Card Receivables
The following table reflects amounts related to the Company’s securitized credit card receivables at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006:
Principal amount of credit card receivables in trusts
111.6

4.5
Amounts payable to trusts

2.5
In the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded net gains from securitization of credit card receivables of $149 million and $284 million, respectively, and $396 million and $456 million in the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net gains reflect the following:
· incremental gains from new securitizations
· the reversal of the allowance for loan losses associated with receivables sold
· net gains on replenishments of the trust assets
· offset by other-than-temporary impairments for the portion of the residual interest classified as available-for-sale
· Mark-to-market changes for the portion of the residual interest classified as trading
See Note 13 on page 63 for additional information regarding the Company’s securitization activities.
Mortgages and Other Assets
The Company provides a wide range of mortgage and other loan products to its customers. In addition to providing a source of liquidity and less expensive funding, securitizing these assets also reduces the Company’s credit exposure to the borrowers. In addition to servicing rights, the Company also retains a residual interest in its student loan and other asset securitizations, consisting of securities and interest-only strips that arise from the calculation of gain or loss at the time assets are sold to the SPE. The Company recognized gains related to the securitization of mortgages and other assets of $144 million and $96 million in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $189 million and $148 million in the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company acts as an intermediary for its corporate clients, assisting them in obtaining liquidity by selling their trade receivables or other financial assets to an SPE.
In addition, Citigroup administers several third-party-owned, special purpose, multi-seller finance companies that purchase pools of trade receivables, credit card receivables, and other financial assets from its clients. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, total combined assets and liabilities in the unconsolidated conduits were $77 billion and $66 billion, respectively.
Creation of Other Investment and Financing Products
The Company packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets in order to create new security offerings, including arbitrage collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs for institutional clients and retail customers, which match the clients’ investment needs and preferences. Typically these instruments diversify investors’ risk to a pool of assets as compared with investments in individual assets.
See Note 13 on page 63 for additional information about off-balance sheet arrangements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2007 and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 include the accounts of Citigroup Inc. (Citigroup) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation, have been reflected. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Citigroup’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, but is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted.
Management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related footnote disclosures. While management makes its best judgment, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. The Company has identified five policies as being significant because they require management to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies relate to Valuations of Financial Instruments, Allowance for Credit Losses, Securitizations, Income Taxes and Legal Reserves. The Company, in consultation with the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors, has reviewed and approved these significant accounting policies, which are further described in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Loans
Loans are classified upon origination or acquisition as either held for investment or held-for-sale. This classification is based on management’s intent and ability with regard to those loans.
Substantially all of the consumer loans sold or securitized by Citigroup are U.S. prime mortgage loans or U.S. credit card receivables. The practice of the U.S. prime mortgage business has been to sell all of its loans except for nonconforming adjustable rate loans. U.S. prime mortgage conforming loans are classified as held-for-sale at the time of origination. The related cash flows are classified in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the cash flows from operating activities category on the line “Change in loans held for sale.”
U.S credit card receivables are classified at origination as loans held-for-sale to the extent that management does not have the intent to hold the receivables for the foreseeable future or until maturity. The U.S. credit card securitization forecast for the three months following the latest balance sheet date is the basis for the amount of such loans classified as held-for-sale. Cash flows related to U.S. credit card loans classified as held-for-sale at origination or acquisition are reported in the cash flows from operating activities category on the line “Change in loans held for sale.”
Reward Costs
Accounting Changes
Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157)
The Company elected to early-adopt SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), as of January 1, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires, among other things, Citigroup’s valuation techniques used to measure fair value to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In addition, SFAS 157 precludes the use of block discounts for instruments traded in an active market, which were previously applied to large holdings of publicly-traded equity securities, and requires the recognition of trade-date gains related to certain derivative trades that use unobservable inputs in determining the fair value. This guidance supersedes the guidance in EITF Issue No. 02-3, which prohibited the recognition of day-one gains on certain derivative trades when determining the fair value of instruments not traded in an active market. The cumulative effect of these two changes resulted in an increase to January 1, 2007 retained earnings of $75 million.
In moving to maximize the use of observable inputs as required by SFAS 157, Citigroup began to reflect external credit ratings as well as other observable inputs when measuring the fair value of our derivative positions. The cumulative effect of making this derivative valuation adjustment was a gain of $250 million after-tax ($402 million pretax, which was recorded in the Markets & Banking
business), or $0.05 per diluted share, included in 2007 first quarter earnings. The primary drivers of this change were the requirement that Citigroup include its own credit rating in pricing derivatives and the elimination of a valuation adjustment, which is no longer necessary under SFAS 157.
See Note 16 on page 71 for additional information.
Fair Value Option (SFAS 159)
In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS 157, the Company early-adopted SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159), as of January 1, 2007. SFAS 159 provides an option for most financial assets and liabilities to be reported at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. After the initial adoption, the election is made at the acquisition of a financial asset, financial liability, or a firm commitment and it may not be revoked. Under the SFAS 159 transition provisions, the Company has elected to report certain financial instruments and other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with future changes in value reported in earnings. SFAS 159 provides an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings that was caused by measuring hedged assets and liabilities that were previously required to use an accounting method other than fair value, while the related economic hedges were reported at fair value.
The adoption of SFAS 159 resulted in a decrease to January 1, 2007 retained earnings of $99 million.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), which sets out a framework for preparers to use to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions. This interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 uses a two-step approach wherein a tax benefit is recognized if a position is more likely than not to be sustained. The amount of the benefit is then measured to be the highest tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 also sets out disclosure requirements to enhance transparency of an entity’s tax reserves.
Citigroup adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, resulting in a decrease to January 1, 2007 retained earnings of $14 million.
The total unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 were $3.1 billion. There was no material change to this balance during the first and second quarters of 2007. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 that would affect the effective tax rate was $1.0 billion. The remaining $2.1 billion represents temporary differences or amounts for which offsetting deductions or credits are available in a different taxing jurisdiction. The total amount of interest and penalties recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2007 was approximately $510 million ($320 million net of tax). There was no material change to this balance during the first and second quarters of 2007. The Company classifies interest and penalties as income tax expense. The Company is currently under audit by the IRS and other major taxing jurisdictions around the world. It is thus reasonably possible that significant changes in the gross balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months (an estimate of the range of such gross changes cannot be made), but the Company does not expect such audits to result in amounts that would cause a significant change to its effective tax rate.
The following are the major tax jurisdictions in which the Company and its affiliates operate and the earliest tax year subject to examination:
Jurisdiction
Tax year
United States
2003
2004
New York State and City
2005
1998
2000
Korea
2001
(1) During the first quarter of 2007, one of the major filing groups completed an audit for 2001–2004.
Leveraged Leases
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position, “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leverage Lease Transaction” (FSP 13-2), which provides guidance regarding changes or projected changes in the timing of cash flows relating to income taxes generated by a leveraged lease transaction.
Leveraged leases can provide significant tax benefits to the lessor, primarily as a result of the timing of tax payments. Since changes in the timing and/or amount of these tax benefits may have a significant effect on the cash flows of a lease transaction, a lessor, in accordance with FSP 13-2, will be required to perform a recalculation of a leveraged lease when there is a change or projected change in the timing of the realization of tax benefits generated by that lease. Previously, Citigroup did not recalculate the tax benefits if only the timing of cash flows had changed.
The adoption of FSP 13-2 resulted in a decrease to January 1, 2007 retained earnings of $148 million. This decrease to retained earnings will be recognized in earnings over the remaining lives of the leases as tax benefits are realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123(R)), which replaced the existing SFAS 123 and APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) requires companies to measure compensation expense for stock options and other share-based payments based on the instruments’ grant date fair value, and to record expense based on that fair value reduced by expected forfeitures.
The Company maintains a number of incentive programs in which equity awards are granted to eligible employees. The most significant of the programs offered is the Capital Accumulation Program (CAP). Under the CAP program, the Company grants deferred and restricted shares to eligible employees. The program provides that employees who meet certain age plus years-of-service requirements (retirement-eligible employees) may terminate active employment and continue vesting in their awards provided they comply with specified non-compete provisions. For awards granted to retirement-eligible employees prior to the adoption of SFAS
123(R), the Company has been and will continue to amortize the compensation cost of these awards over the full vesting periods. Awards granted to retirement-eligible employees after the adoption of SFAS 123(R) must be either expensed on the grant date or accrued in the year prior to the grant date.
The impact to 2006 was a charge of $648 million ($398 million after-tax) for the immediate expensing of awards granted to retirement-eligible employees in January 2006, and $824 million ($526 million after-tax) for the accrual of the awards that were granted in January 2007.
In adopting SFAS 123(R), the Company began to recognize compensation expense for restricted or deferred stock awards net of estimated forfeitures. Previously, the effects of forfeitures were recorded as they occurred.
On January 1, 2006, the Company elected to early-adopt, primarily on a prospective basis, SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (SFAS 155). In accordance with this standard, hybrid financial instruments—such as structured notes containing embedded derivatives that otherwise would require bifurcation, as well as certain interest-only instruments—may be accounted for at fair value if the Company makes an irrevocable election to do so on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The changes in fair value are recorded in current earnings. The impact of adopting this standard was not material.
Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets
On January 1, 2006, the Company elected to early-adopt SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (SFAS 156). This pronouncement requires all servicing rights to be initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, it permits a one-time irrevocable election to remeasure each class of servicing rights at fair value, with the changes in fair value being recorded in current earnings. The classes of servicing rights are identified based on the availability of market inputs used in determining their fair values and the methods for managing their risks. The Company has elected fair value accounting for its mortgage and student loan classes of servicing rights. The impact of adopting this standard was not material.
Future Application of Accounting Standards
Investment Company Audit Guide (SOP 07-1)
In July 2007, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 07-1,Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies (SOP 07-1), which will become effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007. SOP 07-1 sets forth more stringent criteria for qualifying as an investment company than does the predecessor Audit Guide. In addition, SOP 07-1 establishes new criteria for a parent company or equity method investor to retain investment company accounting in their consolidated financial statements. Investment companies record all their investments at fair value with changes in value reflected in earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SOP 07-1 as of January 1, 2008.
Potential Amendments to Various Current Accounting Standards
The FASB is currently working on amendments to the existing accounting standards governing asset transfers and fair value measurements in business combinations and impairment tests. Upon completion of these standards, the Company will need to reevaluate its accounting and disclosures. Due to the ongoing deliberations of the standard setters, the Company is unable to accurately determine the effect of future amendments or proposals at this time.
2. Discontinued Operations
Sale of the Asset Management Business
On December 1, 2005, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of its Asset Management Business, which had total assets of approximately $1.4 billion and liabilities of approximately $0.6 billion at the closing date, to Legg Mason, Inc. (Legg Mason) in exchange for Legg Mason’s broker-dealer and capital markets businesses, $2.298 billion of Legg Mason’s common and preferred shares (valued as of the closing date), and $500 million in cash. The transaction did not include Citigroup’s asset management business in Mexico, its retirement services business in Latin America (both of which are included in International Retail Banking) or its interest in the CitiStreet joint venture (which is included in Smith Barney). The total value of the transaction at the time of closing was approximately $4.369 billion, resulting in an after-tax gain to Citigroup of approximately $2.082 billion ($3.404 billion pretax, which was reported in discontinued operations). (The transactions described above are referred to as the “Sale of the Asset Management Business.”)
On January 31, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its Asset Management Business within Bank Handlowy (an indirect banking subsidiary of Citigroup located in Poland) to Legg Mason. This transaction, which was originally part of the overall Asset Management Business sold to Legg Mason Inc. on December 1, 2005, was postponed due to delays in obtaining local regulatory approval. A gain from this sale of $18 million after-tax and minority interest ($31 million pretax and minority interest) was recognized in the first quarter of 2006 within discontinued operations.
During March 2006, the Company sold 10.3 million shares of Legg Mason stock through an underwritten public offering. The net sale proceeds of $1.258 billion resulted in a pretax gain of $24 million.
In September 2006, the Company received from Legg Mason the final closing adjustment payment related to this sale. This payment resulted in an additional after-tax gain of $51 million ($83 million pretax), recorded in discontinued operations.
The following is summarized financial information for discontinued operations related to the Sale of the Asset Management Business:
Income (loss) from discontinued operations
Provision for income taxes and minority interest, net of taxes
Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business
On July 1, 2005, the Company completed the sale of Citigroup’s Travelers Life & Annuity and substantially all of Citigroup’s international insurance businesses to MetLife, Inc. (MetLife). The businesses sold were the primary vehicles through which Citigroup engaged in the Life Insurance & Annuities Business, which had total assets of approximately $93.2 billion and liabilities of approximately $83.8 billion.
Citigroup received $1.0 billion in MetLife equity securities and $10.830 billion in cash, which resulted in an after-tax gain of approximately $2.120 billion ($3.386 billion pretax), which was reported in discontinued operations.
(The transaction described in the preceding two paragraphs is referred to as the “Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business.”)
During the first quarter of 2006, $15 million of the total $657 million federal tax contingency reserve release was reported within discontinued operations as it related to the Life Insurance & Annuities Business sold to MetLife.
In July 2006, Citigroup recognized an $85 million after-tax gain from the sale of MetLife shares. This gain was reported in income from continuing operations in the Alternative Investments business.
In July 2006, the Company received the final closing adjustment payment related to this sale, resulting in an after-tax gain of $75 million ($115 million pretax), which was recorded in discontinued operations.
In addition, during the 2006 third quarter, a release of $42 million of deferred tax liabilities was reported in discontinued operations as it related to the Life Insurance & Annuities Business sold to MetLife.
Results for all of the businesses included in the Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Summarized financial information for discontinued operations related to the Sale of the Life Insurance & Annuities Business is as follows:

The Spin-Off of Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (TPC)
During the first quarter of 2006, releases from various tax contingency reserves were recorded as the IRS concluded their tax audits for the years 1999 through 2002. Included in these releases was $44 million related to Travelers Property Casualty Corp., which the Company spun off during 2002. This release has been included in the provision for income taxes in the results for discontinued operations.

The Company has several non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees and has various defined benefit pension and termination indemnity plans covering employees outside the United States. The U.S. defined benefit plan provides benefits under a cash balance formula. Employees satisfying certain age and service requirements remain covered by a prior final pay formula. The Company also offers postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain eligible U.S. retired employees, as well as to certain eligible employees outside the United States. For information on the Company’s Retirement Benefit Plans and Pension Assumptions, see Citigroup’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following tables summarize the components of the net expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

(1) The U.S. plans exclude nonqualified pension plans, for which the net expense was $12 million and $13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $24 million and $27 million for the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
(2) In 2006, the Company announced that commencing January 1, 2008, the U.S. qualified pension plan would be frozen. Accordingly, no additional contributions would be credited to the cash balance plan for existing plan participants. However, employees still covered under the prior final pay plan will continue to accrue benefits.
Citigroup’s pension funding policy for U.S. plans and non-U.S. plans is generally to fund to applicable minimum funding requirements, rather than to the amounts of accumulated benefit obligations. For the U.S. plans, the Company may increase its contributions above the minimum required contribution under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), if appropriate to its tax and cash position and the plan’s funded position. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were no minimum required contributions and no discretionary cash or non-cash contributions are currently planned for the U.S. plans. For the non-U.S. plans, the Company contributed $63 million as of June 30, 2007. Citigroup presently anticipates contributing an additional $105 million to fund its non-U.S. plans in 2007 for a total of $168 million.
7. Restructuring
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company completed a review of its structural expense base in a Company-wide effort to create a more streamlined organization, reduce expense growth and provide investment funds for future growth initiatives.
The primary goals of the 2007 Structural Expense Review are as follows:
· Eliminate layers of management/improve workforce management;
· Consolidate certain back-office, middle-office and corporate functions;
· Increase the use of shared services;
· Expand centralized procurement; and
· Continue to rationalize operational spending on technology.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, Citigroup recorded a pretax restructuring charge of $63 million and $1.440 billion, respectively, in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (SFAS 146).
The implementation of these restructuring initiatives also caused certain related premises and equipment assets to become redundant. The remaining depreciable lives of these assets were shortened, and accelerated depreciation charges began in the second quarter of 2007 in addition to normal scheduled depreciation.
Additional charges totaling approximately $150 million pretax are anticipated to be recorded by the end of 2007. Of this charge, $113 million is attributable to Global Consumer, $16 million to Global Wealth Management and $21 million to Corporate/Other.

Citigroup invests in certain complex investment company structures known as Master-Feeder funds by making direct investments in the Feeder funds. Each Feeder fund records its net investment in the Master fund, which is the sole or principal investment of the Feeder fund, and does not consolidate the Master Fund. Citigroup consolidates Feeder funds where it has a controlling interest. At June 30, 2007, the total assets of Citigroup’s consolidated Feeder funds amounted to approximately $2.1 billion. Citigroup has not consolidated approximately $7.5 billion of additional assets and liabilities recorded in the related Master Funds’ financial statements.

CGMHI has a syndicated five-year committed uncollateralized revolving line of credit facility with unaffiliated banks totaling $3.0 billion, which matures in 2011. CGMHI also has three-year bilateral facilities totaling $575 million with unaffiliated banks with borrowings maturing on various dates in 2009. At June 30, 2007, the full $3.0 billion of the syndicated five-year facility was drawn.
CGMHI also has committed long-term financing facilities with unaffiliated banks. At June 30, 2007, CGMHI had drawn down the full $2.075 billion available under these facilities, of which $1.08 billion is guaranteed by Citigroup. A bank can terminate these facilities by giving CGMHI prior notice (generally one year). CGMHI also has substantial borrowing arrangements consisting of facilities that CGMHI has been advised are available, but where no contractual lending obligation exists. These arrangements are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure flexibility in meeting CGMHI’s short-term requirements.
The Company issues both fixed and variable rate debt in a range of currencies. It uses derivative contracts, primarily interest rate swaps, to effectively convert a portion of its fixed rate debt to variable rate debt and variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The maturity structure of the derivatives generally corresponds to the maturity structure of the debt being hedged. In addition, the Company uses other derivative contracts to manage the foreign exchange impact of certain debt issuances.
Long-term debt at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 includes $10,255 million and $9,775 million, respectively, of junior subordinated debt. The Company formed statutory business trusts under the laws of the state of Delaware, which exist for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing Trust Securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust; (ii) investing the gross proceeds of the Trust securities in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (subordinated debentures) of its parent; and (iii) engaging in only those activities necessary or incidental thereto. Upon

In each case, the coupon rate on the debentures is the same as that on the trust securities. Distributions on the trust securities and interest on the debentures are payable quarterly, except for Citigroup Capital III and Citigroup Capital XVIII, on which distributions are payable semiannually.
On March 18, 2007 and March 26, 2007, Citigroup redeemed for cash all of the $23 million and $25 million Trust Preferred Securities of Adam Statutory Trust I and Adam Statutory Trust II, respectively, at the redemption price of $1,000 per preferred security plus any accrued distribution up to but excluding the date of redemption.
On March 6, 2007, Citigroup issued $1.000 billion of Enhanced Trust Preferred Securities (Citigroup Capital XVII). An additional $100 million was issued, related to this Trust, on March 14, 2007.
On February 15, 2007, Citigroup redeemed for cash all of the $300 million Trust Preferred Securities of Citicorp Capital I, $450 million of Citicorp Capital II, and $400 million of Citigroup Capital II, at the redemption price of $1,000 per preferred security plus any accrued distribution up to but excluding the date of redemption.

The Company primarily securitizes credit card receivables and mortgages. Other types of assets securitized include corporate debt securities, auto loans, and student loans.
After securitization of credit card receivables, the Company continues to maintain credit card customer account relationships and provides servicing for receivables transferred to the trusts. The Company also arranges for third parties to provide credit enhancement to the trusts, including cash collateral accounts, subordinated securities, and letters of credit. The Company also retains an interest in the residual cash flows of the securitized credit card receivables. The residual cash flows are the finance charge collections on the securitized receivables reduced by payment of investor coupon on trust securities, servicing fees, and net credit losses. The residual cash flows are periodically remitted to the Citigroup subsidiary that sold the receivables, assuming certain trust performance measures that protect the investors of the trust are met. A residual interest asset, which is an estimate of the amount and timing of these future residual cash collections, and gain on sale are recognized at the time receivables are sold.
The Company provides a wide range of mortgage and other loan products to a diverse customer base. In connection with the securitization of these loans, the servicing rights entitle the Company to a future stream of cash flows based on the outstanding principal balances of the loans and the contractual servicing fee. Failure to service the loans in accordance with contractual requirements may lead to a termination of the servicing rights and the loss of future servicing fees. In non-recourse servicing, the principal credit risk to the Company is the cost of temporary advances of funds. In recourse servicing, the servicer agrees to share credit risk with the owner of the mortgage loans such as FNMA or FHLMC or with a private investor, insurer, or guarantor. Losses on recourse servicing occur primarily when foreclosure sale proceeds of the property underlying a defaulted mortgage are less than the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of the loan and the cost of holding and disposing of the underlying property. The Company’s mortgage loan securitizations are primarily non-recourse, thereby effectively transferring the risk of future credit losses to the purchaser of the securities issued by the trust.

The Company recognized gains on securitizations of U.S. Consumer mortgages of $52 million and $4 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $83 million and $34 million during the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. In the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded gains of $149 million and $284 million related to the securitization of credit card receivables, and $396 million and $456 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Gains recognized on the securitization of Markets & Banking and other assets during the second quarter of 2007 and 2006 were $92 million and $93 million, respectively, and $106 million and $114 million for the six months ended 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Key assumptions used for securitizations of credit cards, mortgages, and other asset securitizations during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 in measuring the fair value of retained interests at the date of sale or securitization follow:

As required by SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (SFAS 140), the effect of two negative changes in each of the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of retained interests must be disclosed. The negative effect of each change must be calculated independently, holding all other assumptions constant. Because the key assumptions may not in fact be independent the net effect of simultaneous adverse changes in the key assumptions may be less than the sum of the individual effects shown below.
At June 30, 2007, the key assumptions used to value retained interests and the sensitivity of the fair value to adverse changes of 10% and 20% in each of the key assumptions were as follows:

Managed Loans
After securitization of credit card receivables, the Company continues to maintain credit card customer account relationships and provides servicing for receivables transferred to the trusts. As a result, the Company considers the securitized credit card receivables to be part of the business it manages.
The following tables present a reconciliation between the managed basis and on-balance sheet credit card portfolios and the related delinquencies (loans which are 90 days or more past due) at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and credit losses, net of recoveries for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

The market for MSRs is not sufficiently liquid to provide participants with quoted market prices. Therefore, the Company uses an option-adjusted spread valuation approach to determine the fair value of MSRs. This approach consists of projecting servicing cash flows under multiple interest rate scenarios, and discounting these cash flows using risk-adjusted discount rates. The key assumptions used in the valuation of MSRs include mortgage prepayment speeds and discount rates. The model assumptions and the MSRs’ fair value estimates are compared to observable trades of similar MSR portfolios and interest-only security portfolios, as well as to MSR broker valuations and industry surveys. The cash flow model and underlying prepayment and interest rate models used to value these MSRs are subject to validation in accordance with the Company’s model validation policies. Refer to key assumptions at June 30, 2007 on page 65 for the key assumptions used in the MSR valuation process.
The fair value of the MSRs is primarily affected by changes in prepayments that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates. In managing this risk, the Company hedges a significant portion of the value of its MSRs through the use of interest rate derivative contracts, forward purchase commitments of mortgage-backed securities, and purchased securities classified as trading. The amount of contractually specified servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees earned were $466 million, $25 million and $17 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2007; and $249 million, $12 million and $12 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2006. These fees are classified in the Consolidated Statement of Income as Commissions and Fees.
Variable Interest Entities
The following table represents the carrying amounts and classification of consolidated assets that are collateral for VIE obligations, including VIEs that were consolidated prior to the implementation of FIN 46-R under existing guidance and VIEs that the Company became involved with after July 1, 2003:

The consolidated VIEs included in the table above represent hundreds of separate entities with which the Company is involved and include VIEs consolidated as a result of adopting FIN 46-R and FIN 46. Of the $59.8 billion and $54.7 billion of total assets of VIEs consolidated by the Company at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, $20.7 billion and $39.2 billion represent structured transactions where the Company packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets or from clients in order to create new security offerings and financing opportunities for clients; $37.0 billion and $13.1 billion represent investment vehicles that were established to provide a return to the investors in the vehicles; and $2.1 billion and $2.4 billion represent vehicles that hold lease receivables and equipment as collateral to issue debt securities, thus obtaining secured financing at favorable interest rates.
The Company may provide various products and services to the VIEs. It may provide liquidity facilities, may be a party to derivative contracts with VIEs, may provide loss enhancement in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees to the VIEs, may be the investment manager, and may also have an ownership interest or other investment in certain VIEs. In general, the investors in the obligations of consolidated VIEs have recourse only to the assets of the VIEs and do not have recourse to the Company, except where the Company has provided a guarantee to the investors or is the counterparty to a derivative transaction involving the VIE.
In addition to the VIEs that are consolidated in accordance with FIN 46-R, the Company has significant variable interests in certain other VIEs that are not consolidated because the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These include multi-seller finance companies, collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), structured finance transactions, and numerous investment funds. In addition to these VIEs, the Company issues preferred securities to third- party investors through trust vehicles as a source of funding and regulatory capital, which were deconsolidated during the 2004 first quarter. The Company’s liabilities to the deconsolidated trust are included in long-term debt.
The Company administers several third-party-owned, special purpose, multi-seller finance companies that purchase pools of trade receivables, credit cards, and other financial assets from third-party clients of the Company. As
administrator, the Company provides accounting, funding, and operations services to these conduits. Generally, the Company has no ownership interest in the conduits. The sellers continue to service the transferred assets. The conduits’ asset purchases are funded by issuing commercial paper and medium-term notes. The sellers absorb the first losses of the conduits by providing collateral in the form of excess assets. The Company, along with other financial institutions, provides liquidity facilities, such as commercial paper backstop lines of credit to the conduits. The Company also provides loss enhancement in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees. All fees are charged on a market basis.
During 2003, to comply with FIN 46-R, many of the conduits issued “first loss” subordinated notes such that one third-party investor in each conduit would be deemed the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the conduit. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, total assets in unconsolidated conduits were $76.5 billion and $66.3 billion, respectively.
The Company also packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets in order to create new security offerings, including arbitrage CDOs and synthetic CDOs for institutional clients and retail customers, which match the clients’ investment needs and preferences. Typically, these instruments diversify investors’ risk to a pool of assets as compared with investments in an individual asset. The VIEs, which are issuers of CDO securities, are generally organized as limited liability corporations. The Company typically receives fees for structuring and/or distributing the securities sold to investors. In some cases, the Company may repackage the investment with higher rated debt CDO securities or U.S. Treasury securities to provide a greater or a very high degree of certainty of the return of invested principal. A third-party manager is typically retained by the VIE to select collateral for inclusion in the pool and then actively manage it, or, in other cases, only to manage work-out credits. The Company may also provide other financial services and/or products to the VIEs for market-rate fees. These may include: the provision of liquidity or contingent liquidity facilities; interest rate or foreign exchange hedges and credit derivative instruments; and the purchasing and warehousing of securities until they are sold to the SPE. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs under FIN 46-R due to its limited continuing involvement and, as a result, does not consolidate their assets and liabilities in its financial statements.
In addition to the conduits discussed above, the following table represents the total assets of unconsolidated VIEs where the Company has significant involvement:

The Company has also established a number of investment funds as opportunities for qualified employees to invest in venture capital investments. The Company acts as investment manager to these funds and may provide employees with financing on both a recourse and non-recourse basis for a portion of the employees’ investment commitments.
In addition, the Company administers numerous personal estate trusts. The Company may act as trustee and may also be the investment manager for the trust assets.
As mentioned above, the Company may, along with other financial institutions, provide liquidity facilities, such as commercial paper backstop lines of credit to the VIEs. The Company may be a party to derivative contracts with VIEs, may provide loss enhancement in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees to the VIEs, may be the investment manager, and may also have an ownership interest in certain VIEs. Although actual losses are not expected to be material, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with VIEs that are not consolidated was $117 billion and $109 billion at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. For this purpose, maximum exposure is considered to be the notional amounts of credit lines, guarantees, other credit support, and liquidity facilities, the notional amounts of credit default swaps and certain total return swaps, and the amount invested where Citigroup has an ownership interest in the VIEs. In addition, the Company may be party to other derivative contracts with VIEs. Exposures that are considered to be guarantees are also included in Note 17 on page 77.

15. Derivatives Activities
In the ordinary course of business, Citigroup enters into various types of derivative transactions. These derivative transactions include:
· Futures and forward contracts which are commitments to buy or sell at a future date a financial instrument, commodity or currency at a contracted price and may be settled in cash or through delivery.
· Swap contracts which are commitments to settle in cash at a future date or dates that may range from a few days to a number of years, based on differentials between specified financial indices, as applied to a notional principal amount.
· Option contracts which give the purchaser, for a fee, the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a limited time a financial instrument or currency at a contracted price that may also be settled in cash, based on differentials between specified indices.
Citigroup enters into these derivative contracts for the following reasons:
· Trading Purposes—Customer Needs—Citigroup offers its customers derivatives in connection with their risk-management actions to transfer, modify or reduce their interest rate, foreign exchange and other market/credit risks or for their own trading purposes. As part of this process, Citigroup considers the customers’ suitability for the risk involved, and the business purpose for the transaction. Citigroup also manages its derivative-risk positions through offsetting trade activities, controls focused on priceverification, and daily reporting of positions to senior managers.
· Trading Purposes—Own Account—Citigroup trades derivatives for its own account. Trading limits and price verification controls are key aspects of this activity.
· Asset/Liability Management Hedging—Citigroup uses derivatives in connection with its risk-management activities to hedge certain risks. For example, Citigroup may issue a fixed rate long-term note and then enter into areceive-fixed, pay-variable-rate interest rate swap with the same tenor and notional amount to convert the interest payments to a net variable-rate basis. This strategy is the most common form of an interest rate hedge, as it minimizes interest cost in certain yield curve environments. Derivatives are also used to manage risks inherent in specific groups of on-balance sheet assets and liabilities, including investments, corporate and consumer loans, deposit liabilities, as well as other interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. In addition, foreign exchange contracts are used to hedge non-U.S. dollar denominated debt, available-for-sale securities, net capital exposures and foreign exchange transactions.
Citigroup accounts for its hedging activity in accordance with SFAS 133. As a general rule, SFAS 133 hedge accounting is permitted for those situations where the Company is exposed to a particular risk, such as interest rate or foreign exchange risk, that causes changes in the fair value of an asset or liability, or variability in the expected future cash flows of an existing asset, liability, or a forecasted transaction that may affect earnings.
Derivative contracts hedging the risks associated with the changes in fair value are referred to as fair value hedges, while contracts hedging the risks affecting the expected future cash flows are called cash flow hedges. Hedges that utilize derivatives to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with equity investments in non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign subsidiaries are called net investment hedges.
All derivatives are reported on the balance sheet at fair value. If certain hedging criteria specified in SFAS 133 are met, including testing for hedge effectiveness, special hedge accounting may be applied. The hedge effectiveness assessment methodologies for similar hedges are performed in a similar manner and are used consistently throughout the hedging relationships. For fair value hedges, the changes in value of the hedging derivative, as well as the changes in value of the related hedged item, due to the risk being hedged, are reflected in current earnings. For cash flow hedges and net investment hedges, the changes in value of the hedging derivative are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity, to the extent the hedge was effective. Hedge ineffectiveness, in either case, is reflected in current earnings.
Continuing with the example referred to above, the fixed rate long-term note is recorded at amortized cost under current U.S. GAAP. However, by electing to use SFAS 133 hedge accounting, the carrying value of this note is adjusted for changes in the benchmark interest rate, with any changes in fair value recorded in current earnings. The related interest rate swap is also recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Thus, any ineffectiveness resulting from the hedging relationship is recorded in current earnings. Alternatively, an economic hedge, which does not meet the SFAS 133 hedging criteria, would involve only recording the derivative at fair value on the balance sheet, with its associated changes in value recorded in earnings. The note would continue to be carried at amortized cost and, therefore, current earnings would be impacted only by the interest rate shifts that cause the change in the swap’s value. This type of hedge is undertaken when SFAS 133 hedge requirements cannot be achieved.
Fair value hedges
· Hedging of benchmark interest rate risk—Citigroup hedges exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate financing transactions, including liabilities related to outstanding debt, borrowings and time deposits. The fixed cash flows from those financing transactions are converted to benchmark-variable-rate cash flows by entering into receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps. Typically these fair value hedge relationships use dollar-offset ratio analysis to assess whether the hedging relationships are highly effective at inception and on an ongoing basis.
Citigroup also hedges exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate assets, including available-for-sale securities, and inter-bank placements. The hedging instruments mainly used are receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps for the remaining hedged asset categories. Most of these fair value hedging relationships use dollar-offset ratio analysis to assess whether the hedging relationships are highly effective at inception and on an ongoing basis, while others use regression analysis.
For a limited number of fair value hedges of benchmark interest rate risk, Citigroup uses the “shortcut” method as SFAS 133 allows the Company to assume no
ineffectiveness if the hedging relationship involves an interest-bearing financial asset or liability and an interest rate swap. In order to assume no ineffectiveness, Citigroup ensures that all the shortcut method requirements of SFAS 133 for these types of hedging relationships are met.
· Hedging of foreign exchange risk—Citigroup hedges the change in fair value attributable to foreign exchange rate movements in available-for-sale securities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity holding the securities, which may be within or outside the U.S. Typically, the hedging instrument employed is a forward foreign exchange contract. In this type of hedge, the change in fair value of the hedged available-for-sale security attributable to the portion of foreign exchange risk hedged is reported in earnings and not Accumulated other comprehensive income—a process that serves to offset substantially the change in fair value of the forward contract that is also reflected in earnings. Citigroup typically considers the premium associated with forward contracts (differential between spot and contractual forward rates) as the cost of hedging; this is generally excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and reflected directly in earnings. Dollar-offset method is typically used to assess hedge effectiveness retrospectively and prospectively. Since that assessment is based on changes in fair value attributable to changes in spot rates on both the available-for-sale securities and the forward contracts for the portion of the relationship hedged, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness is not significant.
· Hedging the overall changes in fair value—Citigroup primarily hedges the change in the overall fair value of portfolios of similar held-for-sale mortgage loans. Derivatives used in these hedging relationships are mainly forward sales of mortgage-backed securities. Citigroup assesses effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis using regression analysis.
Cash flow hedges
· Hedging of benchmark interest rate risk—Citigroup hedges variable cash flows resulting from floating-rate liabilities and roll-over of short-term liabilities. Variable cash flows from those liabilities are converted to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps. Efforts are made to match all critical terms of the hedged item and the hedging derivative at inception and on an ongoing basis to eliminate hedge ineffectiveness. To the extent all critical terms are not matched, these cash flow hedging relationships use regression or dollar-offset ratio analysis to assess whether the hedging relationships are highly effective at inception and on an ongoing basis. Since efforts are made initially to align the terms of the derivatives to those hedged forecasted cash flows, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness is not significant.
Citigroup also hedges variable cash flows resulting from investments in floating-rate available-for-sale securities. Variable cash flows from those assets are converted to fixed-rate cash flows by entering into receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps. These cash flow hedging relationships use regression or dollar-offset ratio analysis to assess whether the hedging relationships are highly effective at inception and on an ongoing basis. Efforts are made initially to align the terms of the derivatives to those hedged forecasted cash flows. As a result, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness is not significant.
· Hedging of foreign exchange risk—Citigroup locks in the functional currency equivalent of cash flows of various balance sheet exposures, including deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt (and the forecasted issuances or rollover of such items) that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the issuing entity. Depending on the risk management objectives, these types of hedges are designated as either cash flow hedges of only foreign exchange risk or cash flow hedges of both foreign exchange and interest rate risk. Generally, the hedging instruments used are foreign exchange forward contracts and cross-currency swaps. Citigroup matches all critical terms of the hedged item and the hedging derivative at inception and on an ongoing basis to eliminate hedge ineffectiveness. To the extent all critical terms are not matched, any ineffectiveness is measured using the “hypothetical derivative method.” Efforts are made initially to match up the terms of the hypothetical and actual derivatives used. As a result, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness is not significant.
· Hedging the overall changes in cash flows—In situations where the contractual rate of a variable rate asset or liability is not a benchmark rate, Citigroup designates the risk of overall changes in cash flows as the hedged risk. Citigroup primarily hedges variability in the total cash flows related to non-benchmark-rate-based liabilities, such as customer deposits with stated maturities, and uses receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps as the hedging instrument. These cash flow hedging relationships use regression or dollar-offset ratio analysis to assess effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis.
Citigroup also hedges the forecasted purchase of mortgage-backed securities and designates the overall change in the purchase price as a hedged risk. The assessment of effectiveness is based on ensuring that the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged item match exactly.
Net investment hedges
Consistent with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”(SFAS 52), SFAS 133 allows hedging of the foreign currency risk of a net investment in a foreign operation. Citigroup primarily uses foreign currency forward and swap foreign-currency-denominated debt instruments to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with Citigroup’s equity investments in several non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign subsidiaries. In accordance with SFAS 52, Citigroup records the change in the carrying amount of these investments in the cumulative translation adjustment account within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Simultaneously, the effective portion of the hedge of this exposure is also recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account, and any ineffective portion of net investment hedges is immediately recorded in earnings.
For derivatives used in net investment hedges, Citigroup follows the forward rate method from FASB Derivative Implementation Group Issue H8. According to that method, all changes in fair value, including changes related to the forward rate component of the foreign currency forward contracts, are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account. For foreign currency-denominated debt instruments that are designated as hedges of net investment, the translation gain or
loss that is recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account is based on the spot exchange rate between the functional currency of the respective subsidiary and the U.S. dollar, which is the functional currency of Citigroup.
Achieving hedge accounting in compliance with SFAS 133 guidelines is extremely complex. Key aspects of achieving SFAS 133 hedge accounting are documentation of hedging strategy and hedge effectiveness at the hedge inception and substantiating hedge effectiveness on an ongoing basis. A derivative must be highly effective in accomplishing the hedge objective of offsetting either changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item for the risk being hedged. Any ineffectiveness in the hedge relationship is recognized in current earnings. The assessment of effectiveness excludes changes in the value of the hedged item that are unrelated to the risks being hedged. Similarly, the assessment of effectiveness may exclude changes in the fair value of a derivative related to time value that, if excluded, are recognized in current earnings.
The following table summarizes certain information related to the Company’s hedging activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

Derivatives may expose Citigroup to market, credit or liquidity risks in excess of the amounts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Market risk on a derivative product is the exposure created by potential fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and other values, and is a function of the type of product, the volume of transactions, the tenor and terms of the agreement, and the underlying volatility. Credit risk is the exposure to loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the transaction where the value of any collateral held is not adequate to cover such losses. The recognition in earnings of unrealized gains on these transactions is subject to management’s assessment as to collectibility. Liquidity risk is the potential exposure that arises when the size of the derivative position may not be able to be rapidly adjusted in periods of high volatility and financial stress at a reasonable cost.
16. Fair Value
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS 157 and SFAS 159. Both standards address aspects of the expanding application of fair value accounting.
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS 157, among other things, requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. In addition, SFAS 157 precludes the use of block discounts when measuring the fair value of instruments traded in an active market, which were previously applied to large holdings of publicly traded equity securities. It also requires recognition of trade-date gains related to certain derivative transactions whose fair value has been determined using unobservable market inputs. This guidance supersedes the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 02-3, “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities” (EITF Issue 02-3), which prohibited the recognition of trade-date gains for such derivative transactions when determining the fair value of instruments not traded in an active market.
In moving to maximize the use of observable inputs as required by SFAS 157, the Company has made some amendments to the techniques used in measuring the fair value of derivative positions. These amendments change the way that the probability of default of a counterparty is factored into the valuation of derivative positions, include for the first time the impact of Citigroup’s own credit standing, and also eliminate the portfolio servicing adjustment that is no longer necessary under SFAS 157.
Under SFAS 159, the Company may elect to report most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. After the initial adoption, the election is made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset, financial
liability, or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not be revoked once an election is made.
Additionally, the transition provisions of SFAS 159 permit a one-time election for existing positions at the adoption date with a cumulative-effect adjustment included in opening retained earnings and future changes in fair value reported in earnings.
On January 1, 2006, the Company also elected to early-adopt, primarily on a prospective basis, SFAS 155. In accordance with this standard, hybrid financial instruments—such as structured notes containing embedded derivatives that otherwise would require bifurcation, as well as certain interest-only instruments—may be accounted for at fair value if the Company makes an irrevocable election to do so on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The changes in fair value are recorded in current earnings.
The following table presents as of June 30, 2007, those positions selected for fair value accounting in accordance with SFAS 159 and SFAS 155, as well as the changes in fair value for the three- and six-month periods then ended.

Various miscellaneous eligible items(1)
Pretax cumulative effect of adopting fair value option accounting
(157
After-tax cumulative effect of adopting fair value option accounting
(1) The Legg Mason securities as well as several miscellaneous items were previously reported at fair value within available-for-sale securities. The cumulative-effect adjustment represents the reclassification of the related unrealized gain/loss from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Retained earnings upon the adoption of the fair value option.
(2) Excludes netting of the amounts due from securities purchased under agreements to resell and the amounts owed under securities sold under agreements to repurchase in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 41, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements.”
The Legg Mason convertible preferred equity securities (Legg shares) were acquired in connection with the sale of Citigroup’s Asset Management business in December 2005. We hold these shares as a non-strategic investment for long-term appreciation and, therefore, selected fair value option accounting in anticipation of the January 2008 implementation of the Investment Company Audit Guide Statement of Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of Audit and Accounting Guide Audits of Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investment Companies” (SOP).
Under the current investment company accounting model, investments held in investment company vehicles are recorded at full fair value and are not subject to consolidation guidelines. Under the SOP, non-strategic investments not held in investment companies, which are deemed similar to non-strategic investments held in Citigroup’s investment companies, must be accounted for at full fair value in order for Citigroup to retain investment company accounting in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. If investment company accounting requirements cannot be met (for example, if we failed to account for similar non-strategic investments at fair value with changes in value recorded in earnings), Citigroup would be required to account for each investment in the investment company under other relevant accounting standards, including consolidation of majority-owned or controlled investees. We believe that Citigroup’s consolidation of non-strategic investments would not provide meaningful information and would confuse readers of our financial statements. Therefore, we have utilized the fair value option to migrate the Legg shares from available-for-sale (where changes in fair value are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)) to a full fair value model (where changes in value are recorded in earnings). On a prospective basis, as we acquire non-strategic public or private equity investments, we will consider electing fair value accounting for investments that are similar to those held in our investment companies.
Prior to the election of fair value option accounting, the shares were classified as available-for-sale securities with the unrealized loss of $232 million as of December 31, 2006 included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In connection with the Company’s adoption of SFAS 159, this unrealized loss was recorded as a reduction of January 1, 2007 retained earnings as part of the cumulative-effect adjustment. We have no intention of selling the Legg shares prior to our previously estimated recovery period. The Legg shares, which have a fair value of $825 million as of June 30, 2007, are now included in Trading account assets on Citigroup’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Dividends are included in Interest revenue.
Selected portfolios of securities purchased under agreements to resell, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and certain non-collateralized short-term borrowings
The Company has elected the fair value option for our United States, United Kingdom and certain Japan portfolios of fixed income securities purchased under agreements to resell and fixed income securities sold under agreements to repurchase (and certain non-collateralized short-term borrowings), because these positions are managed on a fair value basis. Specifically, related interest rate risk is managed on a portfolio basis, primarily with derivative instruments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. Previously, these positions were accounted for on the accrual basis.
The cumulative effect of $58 million pretax ($37 million after-tax) from adopting the fair value option was recorded as an increase in the January 1, 2007 retained earnings balance. $25 million pretax of that cumulative effect related to securities purchased under agreements to resell, while $40 million pretax related to securities sold under agreements to
repurchase, offset by a reduction of $7 million pretax for non-collateralized short-term borrowings.
The June 30, 2007 net balance of $108.0 billion for securities purchased under agreements to resell and $263.3 billion for securities sold under agreements to repurchase are included in their respective accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The uncollateralized short-term borrowings of $3.8 billion are recorded in that account in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The related interest revenue and interest expense are measured based on the contractual rates specified in the transactions and are reported as interest revenue and expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Selected letters of credit and revolving loans hedged by credit default swaps or participation notes
The Company has elected fair value option accounting for certain letters of credit that are hedged with derivative instruments or participation notes. Upon electing the fair value option, the related portions of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded lending commitments were reversed. Citigroup elected the fair value option for these transactions because the risk is managed on a fair value basis, and to mitigate accounting mismatches.
The cumulative effect of $14 million pretax ($9 million after-tax) from adopting fair value option accounting was recorded as an increase in the January 1, 2007 retained earnings balance. The change in fair value as well as the receipt of related fees was reported as Principal transactions in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income.
The notional amount of these unfunded letters of credit was $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2007. The amount funded was insignificant with no amounts 90 days or more past due, or on a non-accrual status at June 30, 2007.
These items have been classified appropriately in Trading account assets or Trading account liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Several miscellaneous eligible items currently classified as available-for-sale securities were selected for fair value option accounting. These items were selected in preparation for the adoption of the Investment Company Audit Guide SOP, as discussed above.
Other items for which the fair value option was selected in accordance with SFAS 159
The Company has elected fair value option for the following eligible items, which did not affect opening retained earnings:
· Certain credit products
· Certain investments in private equity and real estate ventures
· Certain structured liabilities
· Certain non-structured liabilities
· Certain equity-method investments
Citigroup has elected the fair value option for certain originated and purchased loans, including certain unfunded loan products, such as guarantees and letters of credit, executed by Citigroup’s trading businesses. Significant groups of transactions include loans and unfunded loan products that will either be sold or securitized in the near term, or where the economic risks are hedged with derivative instruments. Citigroup has elected the fair value option to mitigate accounting mismatches in cases where hedge accounting is complex or inappropriate; to align accounting with the transaction’s business purpose; and to achieve operational simplifications. Fair value was not elected for most lending transactions across the Company, including where those management objectives would not be met.
The balances for these loan products, which are classified with Trading account assets or Loans, were $22.7 billion and $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2007, respectively. The aggregate unpaid principal balances exceeded the aggregate fair values by $47 million as of June 30, 2007. $136 million of these loans were on a non-accrual basis, while none were 90 days or more past due. For those loans that are on a non-accrual basis, the aggregate unpaid principal balances exceeded the aggregate fair values by $85 million as of June 30, 2007.
In addition, $193 million of unfunded loan commitments were outstanding as of June 30, 2007 related to certain credit products selected for fair value accounting. .
Related interest income is measured based on the contractual interest rates and reported as interest income on trading account assets or loans depending on their balance sheet classifications.
Citigroup invests in private equity and real estate ventures for the purpose of earning investment returns and for capital appreciation. The Company has elected the fair value option for certain of these ventures in anticipation of the January 2008 implementation of the Investment Company Audit Guide SOP, because such investments are considered similar to many private equity or hedge fund activities in our investment companies, which are reported at fair value. See discussion of the SOP above. The fair value option brings consistency in the accounting and evaluation of certain of these investments. As required by SFAS 159, all investments (debt and equity) in such real estate entities are accounted for at fair value.
These investments, which totaled $211 million as of June 30, 2007, are classified as Investments on Citigroup’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in the fair value for these investments are classified in Other revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income.
The Company has elected the fair value option for certain structured liabilities whose performance is linked to structured interest rates, inflation or currency risks (“structured liabilities”), but do not qualify for the fair value election under SFAS 155. This election is applicable only to structured liabilities originated after January 1, 2007.
The Company has elected fair value option for structured liabilities, because these exposures are considered to be trading-related positions and, therefore, are managed on a fair value basis. These positions will continue to be classified as debt, deposits or derivatives according to their legal structure on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The balances for these structured liabilities, which are classified as Interest-bearing deposits and Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, are $154 million and $887 million as of June 30, 2007, respectively.
For these structured liabilities classified as Long-term debt for which the fair value option has been elected, the aggregate unpaid principal balance exceeds the aggregate fair value of such instruments by $80 million as of June 30, 2007.
The change in fair value for these structured liabilities is reported in Principal transactions in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income.
Related interest expense is measured based on the contractual interest rates and reported as such in the Consolidated Income Statement.
The Company has elected the fair value option for certain non-structured liabilities with fixed interest rates (“non-structured liabilities”). This election was effective for applicable transactions originated after April 1, 2007.
The Company has elected the fair value option where the interest rate risk of such liabilities is economically hedged with derivative contracts or the proceeds are used to purchase financial assets that will also be fair valued. The election has been made to mitigate accounting mismatches and to achieve operational simplifications. These positions are reported in Long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The balances for these non-structured liabilities as of June 30, 2007 is $2.6 billion of Long-term debt.
For these non-structured liabilities classified as Long-term debt for which the fair value option has been elected, the aggregate unpaid principal balance exceeds the aggregate fair value of such instruments by $31 million as of June 30, 2007.
The change in fair value for these non-structured liabilities is reported in Principal transactions in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income.
Related interest expense continues to be measured based on the contractual interest rates and reported as such in the Consolidated Income Statement.
The Company has elected to apply fair value accounting under SFAS 155 for certain hybrid financial assets and liabilities whose performance is linked to risks other than interest rate, foreign exchange or inflation (e.g. equity, credit or commodity risks). In addition, the Company has elected fair value accounting under SFAS 155 for residual interests retained from securitizing certain financial assets. These elections are applicable only to those transactions originated after January 1, 2006.
The Company has elected fair value accounting for these instruments because these exposures are considered to be trading-related positions and, therefore, are managed on a fair value basis. In addition, the accounting for these instruments is simplified under a fair value approach as it eliminates the complicated operational requirements of bifurcating the embedded derivatives from the host contracts and accounting for each separately. The hybrid financial instruments are classified as loans, deposits, trading liabilities (for pre-paid derivatives), or debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet according to their legal form, while residual interests in securitizations are classified as trading account assets.
The outstanding balances for these hybrid financial instruments classified in Loans is $664 million, while $2.7 billion is in Interest-bearing deposits, $6.9 billion in Trading account liabilities, $3.1 billion in Short-term borrowings and $22.6 billion in Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007. In addition, $2.3 billion was reported in Trading account assets for the residual interests in securitizations.
For hybrid financial instruments for which the fair value accounting has been elected under SFAS 155 and that are classified as Long-term debt, the aggregate fair value exceeds the aggregate unpaid principal balance by $189 million as of June 30, 2007, while the difference for those instruments classified as Loans is immaterial.
Changes in fair value for hybrid financial instruments, which in most cases includes a component for accrued interest, are recorded in Principal transactions in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Interest accruals for certain hybrid instruments classified as trading assets are recorded separately from the change in fair value as interest income.
Citigroup adopted fair value accounting for various non-strategic investments in leveraged buyout funds and other hedge funds that previously were required to be accounted for under the equity method. Management elected fair value accounting to reduce operational future and accounting complexity, in particular related to the future implementation of the Investment Company Audit Guide SOP. Because the funds account for all of their underlying assets at full fair value, the impact of applying the equity method to Citigroup’s investment in these funds was equivalent to fair value accounting (that is, the net investment in the funds reported on Citigroup’s Consolidated Balance Sheet will result in equal fair values for the investment in the fund on the balance sheet. In addition, Citigroup’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of each fund reported on Citigroup’s Consolidated Statement of Income in each period as equity income recognized under the equity method will equal the mark-to-market earnings on the income statement under fair value accounting). Thus, this fair value election had no impact on opening retained earnings.
These fund investments, which totaled $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2007, are classified as Investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in fair value of these investments are classified in Other revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company holds fixed income and equity securities, derivatives, investments in private equity, a limited number of loan portfolios and certain other financial instruments, which are carried at fair value. The Company determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as matrix or model pricing, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. More specifically, for fixed income securities and derivatives, the Company’s alternative approach when market prices are not available is to discount the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. For loans carried at fair value, there is no related allowance for loan losses.
The Company also carries a number of its liabilities at fair value including certain structured notes and derivative liabilities. In determining the fair value of the Company’s obligations, various factors are considered including: closing exchange or over-the-counter market price quotations; time value and volatility factors underlying options, warrants, and derivatives; price activity for equivalent or synthetic instruments; the potential impact on market prices or fair value of liquidating the Company’s positions in an orderly manner over a reasonable period of time under current market conditions, and Citigroup’s own-credit standing.
These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
· Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets
· Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
· Level 3—Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
The following table presents for each of these hierarchy levels, the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at June 30, 2007.

17. Guarantees
The Company provides a variety of guarantees and indemnifications to Citigroup customers to enhance their credit standing and enable them to complete a wide variety of business transactions. The following table summarizes at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 all of the Company’s guarantees and indemnifications, where management believes the guarantees and indemnifications are related to an asset, liability, or equity security of the guaranteed parties at the inception of the contract. The maximum potential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could be lost under the guarantees and indemnifications if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. Such amounts bear no relationship to the anticipated losses on these guarantees and indemnifications and greatly exceed anticipated losses.
The following tables present information about the Company’s guarantees at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006:

(1) The carrying values of securities lending indemnifications, credit card merchant processing, and custody indemnifications are not material as the Company has determined that the amount and probability of potential liabilities arising from these guarantees are not significant and the carrying amount of the Company’s obligations under these guarantees is immaterial.
Financial standby letters of credit include guarantees of payment of insurance premiums and reinsurance risks that support industrial revenue bond underwriting and settlement of payment obligations to clearing houses, and that support options and purchases of securities or in lieu of escrow deposit accounts. Financial standbys also backstop loans, credit facilities, promissory notes and trade acceptances. Performance guarantees and letters of credit are issued to guarantee a customer’s tender bid on a construction or systems installation project or to guarantee completion of such projects in accordance with contract terms. They are also issued to support a customer’s obligation to supply specified products, commodities, or maintenance or warranty services to a third party.
Derivative instruments include credit default swaps, total return swaps, written foreign exchange options, written put options, and written equity warrants. Loans sold with recourse represent the Company’s obligations to reimburse the buyers for loan losses under certain circumstances. Securities lending indemnifications are issued to guarantee that a securities lending customer will be made whole in the event that the security borrower does not return the security subject to the lending agreement and collateral held is insufficient to cover the market value of the security. Credit card merchant processing guarantees represent the Company’s indirect obligations in connection with the processing of private label and bankcard transactions on behalf of merchants. Custody indemnifications are issued to guarantee that custody clients will be made whole in the event that a third-party subcustodian fails to safeguard clients’ assets. Beginning with the 2006 third quarter, the scope of the custody indemnifications was broadened to cover all clients’ assets held by third-party subcustodians.
Citigroup’s primary credit card business is the issuance of credit cards to individuals. In addition, the Company provides transaction processing services to various merchants with respect to bankcard and private label cards. In the event of a billing dispute with respect to a bankcard transaction between a merchant and a cardholder, that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder’s favor, the third party holds the primary contingent liability to credit or refund the amount to the cardholder and charge back the transaction to the merchant. If the third party is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, it bears the loss for the amount of the credit or refund paid to the cardholder.
The Company continues to have the primary contingent liability with respect to its portfolio of private label merchants. The risk of loss is mitigated as the cash flows between the third party or the Company and the merchant are settled on a net basis and the third party or the Company has the right to offset any payments with cash flows otherwise due to the merchant. To further mitigate this risk, the third party or the Company may require a merchant to make an escrow deposit, delay settlement, or include event triggers to provide the third party or the Company with more financial and operational control in the event of the financial deterioration of the merchant, or require various credit enhancements (including letters of credit and bank guarantees). In the unlikely event that a private label merchant is unable to deliver products, services or a refund to its private label cardholders, Citigroup is contingently liable to credit or refund cardholders. In addition, although a third party holds the primary contingent liability with respect to the processing of bankcard transactions, in the event that the third party does not have sufficient collateral from the merchant or sufficient financial resources of its own to provide the credit or refunds to the cardholders, Citigroup would be liable to credit or refund the cardholders.
The Company’s maximum potential contingent liability related to both bankcard and private label merchant processing services is estimated to be the total volume of credit card transactions that meet the requirements to be valid chargeback transactions at any given time. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, this maximum potential exposure was estimated to be $61 billion and $52 billion, respectively.
However, the Company believes that the maximum exposure is not representative of the actual potential loss exposure, based on the Company’s historical experience and its position as a secondary guarantor (in the case of bankcards). In most cases, this contingent liability is unlikely to arise, as most products and services are delivered when purchased and amounts are refunded when items are returned to merchants. The Company assesses the probability and amount of its contingent liability related to merchant processing based on the financial strength of the primary guarantor (in the case of bankcards) and the extent and nature of unresolved chargebacks and its historical loss experience. At June 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the estimated losses incurred and the carrying amounts of the Company’s contingent obligations related to merchant processing activities were immaterial.
78
In addition, the Company, through its credit card business, provides various cardholder protection programs on several of its card products, including programs that provide insurance coverage for rental cars, coverage for certain losses associated with purchased products, price protection for certain purchases and protection for lost luggage. These guarantees are not included in the table, since the total outstanding amount of the guarantees and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss cannot be quantified. The protection is limited to certain types of purchases and certain types of losses and it is not possible to quantify the purchases that would qualify for these benefits at any given time. The Company assesses the probability and amount of its potential liability related to these programs based on the extent and nature of its historical loss experience. At June 30, 2007, the actual and estimated losses incurred and the carrying value of the Company’s obligations related to these programs were immaterial.
In the normal course of business, the Company provides standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with numerous transactions and also provides indemnifications that protect the counterparties to the contracts in the event that additional taxes are owed due either to a change in the tax law or an adverse interpretation of the tax law. Counterparties to these transactions provide the Company with comparable indemnifications. While such representations, warranties and tax indemnifications are essential components of many contractual relationships, they do not represent the underlying business purpose for the transactions. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms related to the Company’s own performance under the terms of a contract and are entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss is remote. Often these clauses are intended to ensure that terms of a contract are met at inception (for example, that loans transferred to a counterparty in a sales transaction did in fact meet the conditions specified in the contract at the transfer date). No compensation is received for these standard representations and warranties, and it is not possible to determine their fair value because they rarely, if ever, result in a payment. In many cases, there are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses and the contingencies potentially triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur. There are no amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, related to these indemnifications and they are not included in the table.
In addition, the Company is a member of or shareholder in hundreds of value transfer networks (VTNs) (payment, clearing and settlement systems as well as securities exchanges) around the world. As a condition of membership, many of these VTNs require that members stand ready to backstop the net effect on the VTNs of a member’s default on its obligations. The Company’s potential obligations as a shareholder or member of VTN associations are excluded from the scope of FIN 45, since the shareholders and members represent subordinated classes of investors in the VTNs. Accordingly, the Company’s participation in VTNs is not reported in the table and there are no amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006 for potential obligations that could arise from the Company’s involvement with VTN associations.
At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the carrying amounts of the liabilities related to the guarantees and indemnifications included in the table amounted to approximately $36 billion and $17 billion, respectively. The carrying value of derivative instruments is included in either trading liabilities or other liabilities, depending upon whether the derivative was entered into for trading or non-trading purposes. The carrying value of financial and performance guarantees is included in other liabilities. For loans sold with recourse, the carrying value of the liability is included in other liabilities. In addition, at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet include an allowance for credit losses of $1.1 billion, relating to letters of credit and unfunded lending commitments.
In addition to the collateral available in respect of the credit card merchant processing contingent liability discussed above, the Company has collateral available to reimburse potential losses on its other guarantees. Cash collateral available to the Company to reimburse losses realized under these guarantees and indemnifications amounted to $109 billion and $92 billion at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Securities and other marketable assets held as collateral amounted to $61 billion and $42 billion and letters of credit in favor of the Company held as collateral amounted to $114 million and $142 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Other property may also be available to the Company to cover losses under certain guarantees and indemnifications; however, the value of such property has not been determined.
18. Contingencies
As described in the “Legal Proceedings” discussion on page 91, the Company has been a defendant in numerous lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of alleged misconduct in connection with:
(i) underwritings for, and research coverage of, WorldCom;
(ii) underwritings for Enron and other transactions and activities related to Enron;
(iii) transactions and activities related to research coverage of companies other than WorldCom; and
(iv) transactions and activities related to the IPO Securities Litigation.
During the second quarter of 2007, in connection with an evaluation of the Company’s litigation reserve for these matters and primarily as a result of favorable developments in certain WorldCom/Research litigation matters, the Company released $300 million ($188 million after-tax) from its litigation reserve for these matters. As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s litigation reserve for these matters, net of (a) amounts previously paid or not yet paid but committed to be paid in connection with the Enron class action settlement and other settlements arising out of these matters and (b) the $300 million release recorded during the 2007 second quarter, was approximately $2.8 billion.
The Company believes that this reserve is adequate to meet all of its remaining exposure for these matters. However, in view of the large number of these matters, the uncertainties of the timing and outcome of this type of litigation, the novel issues presented, and the significant amounts involved, it is possible that the ultimate costs of these matters may exceed or be below the reserve. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in these cases, and seek to resolve them in the manner management believes is in the best interests of the Company.
In addition, in the ordinary course of business, Citigroup and its subsidiaries are defendants or co-defendants or parties in various litigation and regulatory matters incidental to and typical of the businesses in which they are engaged. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the ultimate resolution of these legal and regulatory proceedings would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company but, if involving monetary liability, may be material to the Company’s operating results for any particular period.

Management Committee Long-Term Incentive Program
On July 17, 2007, the Personnel and Compensation Committee of Citigroup’s Board of Directors approved the Management Committee Long-Term Incentive Program (MC LTIP), under the terms of the shareholder-approved 1999 Stock Incentive Plan.
The MC LTIP provides all current members of the Citigroup Management Committee, including the CEO, CFO and the named executive officers in the Citigroup Proxy Statement an opportunity to earn stock awards based on Citigroup performance.
Each participant will receive an equity award that will be earned based on Citigroup’s performance for the period from July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009. Three periods will be measured for performance (July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, full year 2008 and full year 2009). The ultimate value of the award will be based on Citigroup’s performance in each of these periods with respect to (1) Total Shareholder Return versus Citigroup’s current key competitors and (2) publicly stated Return on Equity (ROE) targets measured at the end of each calendar year. If, in any of the three performance periods, Citigroup’s total shareholder return does not exceed the median performance of the peer group, the Management Committee members will not receive award shares for that period.
The awards will generally vest after 30 months. In order to receive the shares, a participant generally must be a Citigroup employee on January 5, 2010.
The total estimated pretax expense is approximately $150 million and will be amortized over the 30-month vesting/performance period. The final expense for each of the 3 calendar years will be adjusted based on the results of the ROE tests.
