Total available-for-sale securities $11,255,048 $13,677,771 $(2,422,723) (18)%
Available-for-sale securities represented 20% and 25% of total assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Available-for-sale securities decreased 18% to $11.3 billion at December 31, 2007 compared to
December 31, 2006, due primarily to the sale of our asset-backed securities portfolio in the fourth quarter of
2007. Substantially all mortgage-backed securities backed by U.S. Government sponsored and Federal agencies
are “AAA” rated and the majority of the asset-backed securities portfolio consisted of “AA” or higher rated
securities. In the future, we plan to allow our mortgage-backed securities portfolio to pay down, resulting in an
overall decline in the available-for-sale securities balance.
