Interesting notes:
Adjusted assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, equals total assets minus (1) securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed less securities sold, not yet purchased; (2) assets of consolidated variable interest
entities ("VIEs"); (3) cash and securities segregated and on deposit for regulatory and other purposes; (4) goodwill and intangibles; (5) securities received as collateral; and (6) investments purchased under the Asset-Backed
Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility. The amount of adjusted assets is presented to assist the reader in comparing the Investment Bank's ("IB") asset and capital levels to other investment banks in the
securities industry. Asset-to-equity leverage ratios are commonly used as one measure to assess a company’s capital adequacy. IB believes an adjusted asset amount that excludes the assets discussed above, which were considered
to have a low risk profile, provides a more meaningful measure of balance sheet leverage in the securities industry.

(a) Results for year-to-date 2008 include four months of the combined Firm’s (JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s and Bear Stearns’) results and five months of heritage JPMorgan Chase & Co results.

(d) Represents loans from the Washington Mutual Master Trust, which were consolidated onto the Firm's balance sheet at fair value during the second quarter of 2009. No allowance for loan losses was recorded for these loans.


These two read well together lol.

(c) Excludes home lending purchased credit-impaired loans that were acquired as part of the Washington Mutual transaction. These loans are accounted for on a pool basis, and the pools are considered to be performing. Also excludes loans held-for-sale and loans at fair value.

(c) Excludes the impact of purchased credit-impaired loans that were acquired as part of the Washington Mutual transaction. These loans were accounted for at fair value on the acquisition date,] which incorporated management's estimate,as of that date, of credit losses over the remaining life of the portfolio.The allowance for loan losses associated with these loans was $1.1 billion at September 30, 2009. No allowance for loan losses was recorded for these loans as of June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, and September 30, 2008.

yeah I was long Bunds when their earnings popped out randomly today, which saw me promptly leaving a trail of offers in my wake as I tried to hit market... very strange day all in all today I thought.

You'll find a lot of that in these reports by the way mate, I remember Goldman posting their awesome profits last time around, which conveniently didn't include a $1bn loss they'd eaten, because they changed their financial year. Funny that.
