The following table presents the results of operations of our Advice & Wealth Management segment for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006:
## Table 0 ##
Our Advice & Wealth Management segment reported pretax income of $285 million in 2007, up from $196 million in 2006.
Net revenues Net revenues were $3.8 billion, an increase of $478 million, or 14%.
Management and financial advice fees increased $270 million, or 25%, in 2007 as compared to 2006.
The increase was led by net increases in wrap account assets of 23% from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 and an increase in planning fees due to accelerated financial plan delivery standards.
The growth in distribution fees of $184 million, or 9% from 2006, reflected an increase in cash sales and market appreciation.
Net investment income increased $22 million, or 6%, in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to an increase attributable to a full year of activity from Ameriprise Bank partially offset by lower average account balances in certificate products.
Banking and deposit interest expense increased $12 million primarily due to a full year of activity of Ameriprise Bank and higher rates of interest paid on certificates partially offset by decreases in certificate sales and balances.
Expenses Total expenses increased $389 million, or 12%.
The increase in distribution expenses reflects higher commissions paid driven by increased sales volumes and higher assets under management.
General and administrative expense increased due to higher staffing and vendor costs related to a full year of activity of Ameriprise Bank and increases in professional, consulting and technology fees, partially offset by a decline in legal and regulatory costs.
3M’s cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2007 totaled $1.896 billion, with an additional $1.059 billion in current and long-term marketable securities.3M’s strong balance sheet and liquidity provide the Company with significant flexibility to take advantage of numerous opportunities going forward.
The Company will continue to invest in its operations to drive growth, including continual review of acquisition opportunities.
As previously discussed, 3M expects to complete the acquisition of Aearo Holding Corp.  for approximately $1.2 billion in 2008.3M paid dividends of $1.380 billion in 2007, and has a long history of dividend increases.
In February 2008, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend on 3M common stock by 4.2% to 50 cents per share, equivalent to an annual dividend of $2.00 per share.
In February 2007, 3M’s Board of Directors authorized a two-year share repurchase of up to $7.0 billion for the period from February 12, 2007 to February 28, 2009.
At December 31, 2007, the Company has $4.1 billion remaining under this authorization, which the Company does not currently expect to fully utilize by February 28, 2009.
In 2008, the Company expects to contribute an amount in the range of $100 million to $400 million to its U. S.  and international pension plans.
The Company does not have a required minimum pension contribution obligation for its U. S.  plans in 2008.
Therefore, the amount of the anticipated discretionary contribution could vary significantly depending on the U. S. -plans funding status as of the 2008 measurement date and the anticipated tax deductibility of the contribution.
Future contributions will also depend on market conditions, interest rates and other factors.3M believes its strong cash flow and balance sheet will allow it to fund future pension needs without compromising growth opportunities.
The Company uses various working capital measures that place emphasis and focus on certain working capital assets and liabilities.
These measures are not defined under U. S.  generally accepted accounting principles and may not be computed the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
One of the primary working capital measures 3M uses is a combined index, which includes accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable.
This combined index (defined as quarterly net sales – fourth quarter at year-end – multiplied by four, divided by ending net accounts receivable plus inventory less accounts payable) was 5.3 at December 31, 2007, down from 5.4 at December 31, 2006.
Receivables increased $260 million, or 8.4%, compared with December 31, 2006.
Currency translation increased accounts receivable by $159 million year-on-year, as the U. S.  dollar weakened in aggregate against a multitude of currencies.
Inventories increased $251 million, or 9.7%, compared with December 31, 2006.
Currency translation increased inventories by $132 million year-on-year.
Accounts payable increased $103 million compared with December 31, 2006, with $65 million of this year-on-year increase related to currency translation.
