The table below shows our 2007 performance compared to our objectives for the year.

(1)  Our defined operating leverage refers to the difference between our revenue growth rate (as adjusted) and non-interest expense growth rate (as adjusted).

Non-interest expense excludes Global Insurance expense. This is a non-GAAP measure. For further information, including reconciliation, refer to the Key performance and non-GAAP measures section.
