Wells Fargo & Company
Forward-Looking Statements In this report we may make forward-looking statements about our company’s financial condition, results of operations, plans,
objectives and future performance and business. We make forward-looking statements when we use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“may,” “can,” “will” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. They are based on current expectations. Several factors
could cause actual results to differ significantly from expectations including • our ability to sell more products to our customers • the effect of an economic
slowdown on the demand for our products and services • the effect of a fall in stock market prices on fee income from our brokerage and asset management
businesses • the effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgages held
for sale • the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses • disruptions in the capital markets and reduced investor demand for mortgages loans • our election to
provide support to our mutual funds for structured credit products they may hold • changes in the value of our venture capital investments • changes in our
accounting policies or in accounting standards or in how accounting standards are to be applied • mergers and acquisitions • federal and state regulations •
reputational damage from negative publicity • fines, penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations • the loss of checking and saving
account deposits to other investments such as the stock market • fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board. Under “Risk Factors” on pages
66-71 of this report we discuss these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations. We discuss additional factors elsewhere
in the Financial Review and in the Financial Statements and related Notes in this report and in the “Regulation and Supervision” section of our 2007 Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
