|Definitions
|-----------

|For the purposes of this Form 20-F, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Credit Suisse”, “the Group”, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Credit Suisse Group and its consolidated subsidiaries and the term “the Bank” means Credit Suisse, the Swiss bank subsidiary of the Group, and its consolidated subsidiaries.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Sources
|-------

|Throughout this Form 20-F, we describe the position and ranking of our various businesses in certain industry and geographic markets. The sources for such descriptions come from a variety of conventional publications generally accepted as relevant business indicators by members of the financial services industry. These sources include: Standard & Poor’s, Thomson Financial, Dealogic, the Loan Pricing Corporation, Institutional Investor, Lipper, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings.

|Accounting basis and reporting currency
|---------------------------------------

|Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP).
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in Swiss francs, or CHF. For convenience, certain amounts referred to in this Form 20-F are converted from Swiss francs into US dollars (USD) at the rate of CHF 1.00 = USD 0.8200, which was the noon buying rate for Swiss francs on December 29, 2006, in New York City as certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. You should not construe this convenience translation as a representation that the Swiss franc amounts actually denote the corresponding US dollar amounts or could be converted into US dollars at the indicated rate. The assumed rate also differs from the rates used in the preparation of the statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006.

|Item 3: Key information
|-----------------------

|Selected financial data
|-----------------------

|Credit Suisse Group is a global financial services company domiciled in Switzerland.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Effective January 1, 2006, the Group aligned its organizational structure to form a fully integrated global bank, with three segments: Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management. These changes reflect the increasingly complex needs and global orientation of Credit Suisse’s clients, who require sophisticated, integrated solutions and access to a broad spectrum of products and services. They also reflect the changes in the way Credit Suisse operates as a bank as a result of globalization and new technologies, and the growing competitive pressure in the industry.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The newly integrated global bank operates under the single brand Credit Suisse.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In December 2006, the Group completed the sale of “Winterthur” Swiss Insurance Company (Winterthur). The results of operations, assets and liabilities of Winterthur are presented as discontinued operations. For further information on the gain from the sale of Winterthur and its results, see note 4 “Discontinued operations” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Prior period results presented in this Form 20-F have been revised to reflect the operational and management structure in place during 2006. The Group’s segments are managed and reported on a pre-tax basis. Minority interest-related revenues and expenses resulting from the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities in which the Group does not have a significant economic interest in such revenues and expenses are reported in the Corporate Center. Net income is unaffected by the consolidation of these entities due to offsetting minority interests.

|Risk factors
|------------

|Our businesses are exposed to a variety of risks that could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition, including, among others, those described below.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Liquidity risk
|--------------

|Our liquidity could be impaired if we were unable to access the capital markets or sell our assets
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Liquidity, or ready access to funds, is essential to our businesses, particularly our investment banking business, which depend on continuous access to the debt capital and money markets to finance day-to-day operations. An inability to obtain financing in the unsecured long-term or short-term debt capital markets, or to access the secured lending markets, could have a substantial adverse effect on our liquidity. In a time of reduced liquidity, we may be unable to sell some of our assets, or we may need to sell assets at depressed prices, which in either case could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our businesses may face asset-liability mismatches
|--------------------------------------------------

|Our businesses meet most of their funding requirements using short-term funding sources, including primarily deposits, inter-bank loans, time deposits and cash bonds. However, we have assets with medium- or long-term maturities, creating a potential for funding mismatches. Although a substantial number of depositors have, in the past, rolled over their deposited funds upon maturity and deposits have been, over time, a stable source of funding, this may not continue to occur. In that case, our liquidity position could be adversely affected and we might be unable to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at their contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature or to fund new loans, investments and businesses. For further information on the assets and liabilities of our banking businesses, see Item 5 “Operating and financial review and prospects – Information required by Industry Guide 3 – Selected statistical information – Investment portfolios – Deposits and – Short-term borrowings.”
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Changes in our ratings may adversely affect our business
|--------------------------------------------------------

|Reductions in our assigned ratings, including in particular our credit ratings, could increase our borrowing costs, limit our access to capital markets and adversely affect the ability of our businesses to sell or market their products, engage in business transactions – particularly longer-term and derivatives transactions – and retain our customers. Ratings are assigned by rating agencies, which may reduce, indicate their intention to reduce or withdraw the ratings at any time. For more information on our credit ratings, see Item 5 “Operating and financial review and prospects – Liquidity and capital resources.”
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Market risk
|-----------

|We may incur significant losses on our trading and investment activities due to market fluctuations and volatility
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We maintain large trading and investment positions and hedges in the debt, currency, commodity and equity markets, and in private equity, real estate and other assets. These positions could be adversely affected by volatility in financial and other markets, that is, the degree to which prices fluctuate over a particular period in a particular market, regardless of market levels. To the extent that we own assets, or have net long positions, in any of those markets, a downturn in those markets could result in losses from a decline in the value of our net long positions. Conversely, to the extent that we have sold assets that we do not own, or have net short positions, in any of those markets, an upturn in those markets could expose us to potentially significant losses as we attempt to cover our net short positions by acquiring assets in a rising market.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our exposure to commodity price risk increased in 2006 as we expanded our commodities business, particularly energy trading, in our investment banking business.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We have risk management techniques and policies designed to manage our market risk. These techniques and policies, however, may not always be effective, particularly in highly volatile markets. For information on management of market risk, see “Risk management – Market risk” in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Adverse market or economic conditions or trends may cause a decline in net revenues
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As a global financial services company, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally in Europe, the United States and elsewhere around the world. Adverse market or economic conditions could create a challenging operating environment for financial services companies. In particular, the impact of oil prices, interest rates and the risk of geopolitical events could materially affect financial markets and the economy. Movements in interest rates could affect our net interest income and the value of our trading and non-trading fixed income portfolios, and movements in equity markets could affect the value of our trading and non-trading equity portfolios.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Future terrorist attacks, military conflicts and economic or political sanctions could have a material adverse effect on economic and market conditions, market volatility and financial activity.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Adverse market or economic conditions could reduce the number and size of investment banking transactions in which we provide underwriting, mergers and acquisitions advice or other services and, therefore, adversely affect our financial advisory and underwriting fees. Such conditions could also lead to a decline in the volume of securities trades that we execute for customers and, therefore, adversely affect the net revenues we receive from commissions and spreads.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Underwritten transactions often have multiple managers and book runners instead of a lead manager and single book runner, and this trend has adversely affected our underwriting revenues.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Unfavorable market or economic conditions could affect our wealth management, corporate and retail banking and asset management businesses by reducing sales of our investment products and the volume of our asset management activities. In addition, a market downturn could reduce our commission and fee income that is based on the value of our clients’ portfolios.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Adverse market or economic conditions could negatively affect our private equity investments since, if a private equity investment substantially declines in value, we may not receive any increased share of the income and gains from such investment (to which we are entitled in certain cases when the return on such investment exceeds certain threshold returns), may be obligated to return to investors previously received excess carried interest payments and may lose our pro rata share of the capital invested. In addition, it could become more difficult to dispose of the investment, as even investments that are performing well may prove difficult to exit in weak initial public offering markets.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, we are exposed to market risk through our proprietary investments in hedge funds.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|An investment performance that is below that of competitors or asset management benchmarks could result in a decline in assets under management and related fees and make it harder to attract new clients.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We may incur significant losses in the real estate sector
|---------------------------------------------------------

|We finance and acquire principal positions in a number of real estate and real estate-related products, both for our own account and for major participants in the commercial and residential real estate markets, and originate loans, including sub-prime loans, secured by commercial and residential properties. We also securitize and trade in a wide range of commercial and residential real estate and real estate-related whole loans, mortgages, and other real estate and commercial assets and products, including residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities. These businesses could be adversely affected by a downturn in the real estate sector or the economy as a whole.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our revenues may decline in line with declines in certain sectors or products
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Decreasing economic growth in a sector, such as the technology and telecommunications sectors, in which we make significant commitments, for example, through underwriting or advisory services, could negatively affect net revenues of our investment banking business.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, a significant portion of the net revenues of our investment banking business in 2006 was derived from fixed income trading and leveraged finance, driven in large part by financial sponsors. A decline in leveraged finance or financial sponsor activity could have a negative effect on our results of operations.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Holding large and concentrated positions may expose us to large losses
|----------------------------------------------------------------------

|Concentrations of risk could increase losses at our wealth management, corporate and retail banking and investment banking businesses, which may have sizeable loans to and securities holdings in certain customers or industries, including the financial services industry. Risk concentration may cause us to suffer losses even when economic and market conditions are generally favorable for others in the industry. We maintain a system of risk limits designed to control concentration risks. These controls, however, may not always be effective.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our hedging strategies may not prevent losses
|---------------------------------------------

|If any of the variety of instruments and strategies we use to hedge our exposure to various types of risk in our businesses is not effective, we may incur losses. We may only be partially hedged, or these strategies may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk. In addition, gains and losses resulting from certain ineffective hedges may result in volatility in our reported earnings.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Market risk may increase the other risks that we face
|-----------------------------------------------------

|In addition to the potentially adverse effects on our businesses described above, market risk could exacerbate the other risks that we face. For example, if we were to incur substantial trading losses, our need for liquidity could rise sharply while access to liquidity could be impaired. In conjunction with a market downturn, our customers and counterparties could also incur substantial losses of their own, thereby weakening their financial condition and increasing our credit risk to them.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit risk
|-----------

|We may suffer significant losses from our credit exposures
|----------------------------------------------------------

|Our businesses are subject to the risk that borrowers and other counterparties will be unable to perform their obligations. Credit exposures exist within lending relationships, commitments and letters of credit, as well as derivative, foreign exchange and other transactions. For information on management of credit risk, see “Risk management – Credit risk” in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our businesses establish provisions for loan losses at a level deemed appropriate by management. Management’s determination of the provision for loan losses is subject to significant judgment, and our banking businesses may need to increase their provisions for loan losses or may record losses in excess of the previously determined provisions if our original estimates of loss prove inadequate and this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. For information on provisions for loan losses and related risk mitigation, see Item 5 “Operating and financial review and prospects – Critical accounting policies – Contingencies and loss provisions” and “Risk management – Credit risk” in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In recent years, our investment banking business has significantly expanded its use of swaps and other derivatives. As a result, our credit exposures have increased and may continue to increase in amount and duration. In addition, we have experienced, due to competitive factors, pressure to assume longer-term credit risk, to extend credit against less liquid collateral and to price derivative instruments more aggressively based on the credit risks that we take. Our investments in, or loans to, hedge funds, which have significant pools of capital but are unregulated, are an additional source of credit exposure. An increase in our investment bank’s provisions for credit losses, or any credit losses in excess of related provisions, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Defaults by a large financial institution could adversely affect financial markets generally and us specifically
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Concerns about, or a default by, one institution could lead to significant liquidity problems, losses or defaults by other institutions because the commercial soundness of many financial institutions may be closely related as a result of credit, trading, clearing or other relationships between institutions. This risk is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk” and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearinghouses, banks, securities firms and exchanges with which we interact on a daily basis, and could adversely affect us.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The information that we use to manage our credit risk may be inaccurate or incomplete
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Although we regularly review our credit exposure to specific clients and counterparties and to specific industries, countries and regions that we believe may present credit concerns, default risk may arise from events or circumstances that are difficult to foresee or detect, such as fraud. We may also fail to receive full information with respect to the credit or trading risks of a counterparty.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Cross border and foreign exchange risk
|--------------------------------------

|Cross border risks may increase market and credit risks we face
|---------------------------------------------------------------

|Country, regional and political risks are components of market and credit risk. Financial markets and economic conditions generally have been and may be materially affected by such risks. Economic or political pressures in a country or region, including those arising from local market disruptions, currency crises and monetary controls, may adversely affect the ability of clients or counterparties located in that country or region to obtain foreign currency or credit and, therefore, to perform their obligations to us, which in turn may have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We may face significant losses in emerging markets
|--------------------------------------------------

|As a global financial services company and industry leader in emerging markets, we are exposed to economic instability in emerging market countries. We monitor these risks, seek diversity in the sectors in which we invest and emphasize customer-driven business. Our efforts at containing emerging market risk, however, may not always succeed.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Currency fluctuations may adversely affect our results of operations
|--------------------------------------------------------------------

|We are exposed to risk from fluctuations in exchange rates for currencies. In particular, a substantial portion of our assets and liabilities in our investment banking and asset management businesses are denominated in currencies other than the Swiss franc, which is the primary currency of our financial reporting. Our capital is also stated in Swiss francs and we do not fully hedge our capital position against changes in currency exchange rates. Exchange rate volatility may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and capital position.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Operational risk
|----------------

|We are exposed to a wide variety of operational risks, particularly information technology risk
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. In general, our businesses face a wide variety of operational risks, including technology risk that stems from dependencies on information technology and the telecommunications infrastructure and business disruption, including the infrastructure supporting our businesses and/or the areas where our businesses or third-party suppliers are situated. As a global financial services company, we rely heavily on our financial, accounting and other data processing systems, which are varied and complex. If any of these systems does not operate properly or is disabled, including as a result of terrorist attacks or other unforeseeable events, we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to our clients, regulatory intervention or reputational damage.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We may suffer losses due to employee misconduct
|-----------------------------------------------

|Our businesses are exposed to risk from potential non-compliance with policies, employee misconduct and fraud, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious reputational or financial harm. It is not always possible to deter employee misconduct and the precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity may not always be effective.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Legal and regulatory risks
|--------------------------

|Our exposure to legal liability is significant
|----------------------------------------------

|We face significant legal risks in our businesses, and the volume and amount of damages claimed in litigation, regulatory proceedings and other adversarial proceedings against financial services firms are increasing.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We and our subsidiaries are subject to a number of material legal proceedings, regulatory actions and investigations, and an adverse result in one or more of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon our results for such period. For information relating to these and other legal and regulatory proceedings involving our investment banking and other businesses, see Item 8 “Financial information – Legal proceedings.”
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|It is inherently difficult to predict the outcome of many of the legal, regulatory and other adversarial proceedings involving our businesses, particularly those cases in which the matters are brought on behalf of various classes of claimants, seek damages of unspecified or indeterminate amounts or involve novel legal claims. For information on management’s judgments in relation to estimating losses and taking charges for legal, regulatory and arbitration proceedings, see Item 5 “Operating and financial review and prospects – Critical accounting policies – Contingencies and loss provisions - Litigation contingencies.”
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Failure to comply with extensive regulation of our businesses may subject us to significant penalties and may seriously harm our reputation
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As a participant in the financial services industry, we are subject to extensive regulation by governmental agencies, supervisory authorities, and self-regulatory organizations in Switzerland, Europe, the United States and virtually all other jurisdictions in which we operate around the world. Such regulation is becoming increasingly more extensive and complex. These regulations often serve to limit our activities, including through net capital, customer protection and market conduct requirements, and restrictions on the businesses in which we may operate or invest. In recent years, a major focus of international policy and regulation has been on combating money laundering and terrorist financing. Applicable regulations impose obligations to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing, including verifying the identity of customers. Failure of the Group and its subsidiaries to implement and maintain adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could have serious legal and reputational consequences.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Despite our best efforts to comply with applicable regulations, there are a number of risks, particularly in areas where applicable regulations may be unclear or where regulators revise their previous guidance or courts overturn previous rulings. Authorities in many jurisdictions have the power to bring administrative or judicial proceedings against us, which could result in, among other things, suspension or revocation of our licenses, cease and desist orders, fines, civil penalties, criminal penalties or other disciplinary action which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and seriously harm our reputation.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Changes in laws, rules or regulations, or in their interpretation or enforcement, may adversely affect our results of operations and capital requirements.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For a description of our regulatory regime and capital requirements, see Item 4 “Information on the company – Regulation and supervision.”
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Legal restrictions on our clients may reduce the demand for our services
|------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We may be materially affected not only by regulations applicable to us as a financial services company, but also by regulations of general application. For example, the volume of our businesses in any one year could be affected by, among other things, existing and proposed tax legislation, antitrust and competition policies, corporate governance initiatives and other governmental regulations and policies and changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules that affect business and the financial markets.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Competition
|-----------

|We face increased competition due to consolidation and new entrants
|-------------------------------------------------------------------

|We face intense competition in all financial services markets and for the products and services we offer. Consolidation, through mergers and acquisitions, alliances and cooperation, is increasing competition. Competition is based on many factors, including the products and services offered, pricing, distribution systems, customer service, brand recognition, perceived financial strength and the willingness to use capital to serve client needs. Consolidation has created a number of firms that, like us, have the ability to offer a wide range of products, from loans and deposit-taking to brokerage, investment banking and asset management services. Some of these firms may be able to offer a broader range of products than we do, or offer such products at more competitive prices. In addition, new lower-cost competitors may enter the market and those competitors may not be subject to capital or regulatory requirements and may be able to offer their products and services on more favorable terms.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our competitive position could be harmed if our reputation is damaged
|---------------------------------------------------------------------

|In the highly competitive environment arising from globalization and convergence in the financial services industry, a reputation for financial strength and integrity is critical to our ability to attract and maintain customers. Our reputation could be harmed if our comprehensive procedures and controls fail, or appear to fail, to address conflicts of interest as we increase our client base and the scale of our businesses, prevent employee misconduct, produce materially accurate and complete financial and other information or prevent adverse legal or regulatory actions.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We must recruit and retain highly skilled employees
|---------------------------------------------------

|Our performance is largely dependent on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. Competition for qualified employees is intense. We have devoted considerable resources to recruiting, training and compensating employees. Our continued ability to compete effectively in our businesses depends on our ability to attract new employees and to retain and motivate our existing employees.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We face competition from new trading technologies
|-------------------------------------------------

|Our investment banking, private banking and asset management businesses face competitive challenges from new trading technologies. Securities and futures transactions are now being conducted through the Internet and other alternative, non-traditional trading systems, and it appears that the trend toward alternative trading systems will continue and probably accelerate. A dramatic increase in computer-based or other electronic trading may adversely affect our commission and trading revenues, exclude our businesses from certain transaction flows, reduce our participation in the trading markets and the associated access to market information and lead to the creation of new and stronger competitors. We may also be required to make additional expenditures to develop or invest in new trading systems or otherwise to invest in technology to maintain our competitive position.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Financial services businesses that we acquire or joint ventures we undertake may not perform well or may prove difficult to integrate into our existing operations
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Even though we review the records of companies we plan to acquire, it is generally not feasible for us to review in detail all such records. Even an in-depth review of records may not reveal existing or potential problems or permit us to become familiar enough with a business to assess fully its capabilities and deficiencies. As a result, we may assume unanticipated liabilities, or an acquisition may not perform as well as expected. We also face the risk that we will not be able to integrate acquisitions into our existing operations effectively as a result of, among other things, differing procedures, business practices and technology systems, as well as difficulties in adapting an acquired company into our organizational structure. We face the risk that the returns on acquisitions will not support the expenditures or indebtedness incurred to acquire such businesses or the capital expenditures needed to develop such businesses.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, in recent years we have undertaken a number of new joint ventures and strategic alliances. Although we endeavor to identify appropriate partners, our joint venture efforts may prove unsuccessful or may not justify the capital we invest.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Moreover, if we fail to identify attractive businesses to acquire, or joint venture opportunities, we may be unable to expand our businesses as quickly or successfully as our competitors, which could adversely affect our results of operations and reputation.

|Regulation and supervision
|--------------------------

|Overview
|--------

|The Group’s operations throughout the world are regulated by authorities in each of the jurisdictions in which the Group has offices, branches and subsidiaries. Central banks and other bank regulators, financial services agencies, securities agencies and exchanges and self-regulatory organizations are among the regulatory authorities that oversee the Group’s banking, investment banking and asset management businesses. Changes in the supervisory and regulatory regimes of the countries in which the Group operates will determine to some degree the Group’s ability to expand into new markets, the services and products that the Group will be able to offer in those markets and how the Group structures specific operations.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In recent years, a major focus of international policy and regulation, including in Switzerland, the European Union (EU), including the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US), has been on combating money laundering and terrorist financing. Applicable regulations impose obligations to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing, including verifying the identity of customers. Failure of the Group and its subsidiaries to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could have serious legal and reputational consequences.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The principal regulatory structures that apply to the Group’s operations are discussed below.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Banking
|-------

|Switzerland
|-----------

|Although Credit Suisse Group is not a bank according to the Swiss Federal Law on Banks and Savings Banks of November 8, 1934, as amended (Bank Law), and its Implementing Ordinance of May 17, 1972, as amended (Implementing Ordinance), it is required, pursuant to a Swiss Federal Banking Commission (SFBC) decree, to comply with certain requirements for banks, including with respect to capital adequacy, solvency and risk concentration on a consolidated basis, subject to specific stipulations required by the SFBC. The Group is also subject to certain of the reporting obligations of Swiss banks. Furthermore, the Group’s banks in Switzerland, including the Bank, are each regulated by the SFBC on a legal entity basis and, if applicable, on a consolidated basis.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group’s banks in Switzerland operate under banking licenses granted by the SFBC pursuant to the Bank Law and the Implementing Ordinance. In addition, certain of these banks hold securities dealer licenses granted by the SFBC pursuant to the Swiss Federal Act on Stock Exchanges and Securities Trading of March 24, 1995 (Stock Exchange Act).
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The SFBC is the highest bank supervisory authority in Switzerland and is independent from the Swiss National Bank (the National Bank). Under the Bank Law, the SFBC is responsible for the supervision of the Swiss banking system through the issuance of ordinances and circular letters to the banks and securities dealers it oversees. The National Bank is responsible for implementing the government’s monetary policy relating to banks and securities dealers and for ensuring the stability of the financial system. It publishes extensive statistical data on a monthly basis.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition to close and continuous prudential supervision and direct audits by the SFBC, under the Bank Law, a bank’s business is subject to inspection and supervision by an independent auditing firm licensed by the SFBC. These Bank Law auditors, which are appointed by the bank’s Board of Directors, are required to perform annually an audit of the bank’s financial statements and to assess whether the bank is in compliance with the provisions of the Bank Law, the Implementing Ordinance and SFBC regulations, as well as guidelines for self-regulation issued by the Swiss Bankers’ Association and other non-governmental organizations.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Capital requirements
|--------------------

|Under the Bank Law, a bank must maintain an adequate ratio between its capital resources and its total risk-weighted assets and this requirement applies to the Group on a consolidated basis. For purposes of complying with Swiss capital requirements, bank regulatory capital is divided into three main categories:
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Tier 1 capital (core capital);
|--------------------------------

|– Tier 2 capital (supplementary capital); and
|---------------------------------------------

|– Tier 3 capital (additional capital).
|--------------------------------------

|
|

|The Group calculates its regulatory capital on the basis of US GAAP, with certain adjustments required by, or agreed with, the SFBC.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group is required by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) to maintain a minimum regulatory capital ratio of 8% measured on a consolidated basis, calculated by dividing total eligible capital, adjusted for certain deductions, by aggregate risk-weighted assets.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Basel Committee introduced significant changes to existing international capital adequacy standards. These changes are known as Basel II. Certain countries, including Switzerland, are currently in the process of modifying their bank capital and regulatory standards to implement the new standards. The Swiss Federal Council enacted the new standards, subject to a “Swiss finish,” as of January 1, 2007, in the new Capital Adequacy Ordinance. For most Swiss banks, the simpler methodologies of Basel II will apply. For large Swiss banks, such as the Bank, the advanced methodologies of Basel II will apply as of January 2008. The Group expects the implementation of Basel II to create an additional 15% capital requirement at year-end 2007. The final capital impact will, however, depend, among other things, on the growth in risk-weighted assets and changes in the business mix during 2007.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Liquidity requirements
|----------------------

|Banks are required to maintain a specified liquidity ratio under Swiss law. According to the SFBC’s decree, Credit Suisse Group is only required to maintain adequate levels of liquidity on a consolidated basis within the meaning of the Implementing Ordinance and it is not required to comply with the detailed calculations for banks.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Risk concentration
|------------------

|Under Swiss banking law, banks and securities dealers are required to manage risk concentration within specific, predefined limits. Aggregated credit exposure to any single counterparty or a group of related counterparties must bear an adequate relationship to the bank’s eligible capital, taking into account counterparty risks and risk mitigation instruments.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Confidentiality requirements
|----------------------------

|Under the Bank Law and the Stock Exchange Act, Swiss banks and securities dealers are obligated to keep confidential the existence and all aspects of their relationships with customers. These customer confidentiality laws do not, however, provide protection with respect to criminal offenses such as insider trading, money laundering, terrorist financing activities or tax fraud. In particular, Swiss customer confidentiality laws do not prevent the disclosure of information to courts and administrative authorities when banks are asked to testify under applicable federal and cantonal rules of civil or criminal procedure.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|European Union
|--------------

|Since it was announced in 1999, the EU’s Financial Services Action Plan (FSAP) has given rise to numerous measures (both Directives and Regulations) aimed at increasing integration and harmonization in the European market for financial services. While Regulations have immediate and direct effect in member states, Directives must be implemented through national legislation. As a result, the terms of implementation of Directives are not always consistent from country to country.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Capital Requirements Directive, adopted in 2006, applies the Basel II capital framework for banking groups operating in the EU. In January 2007, the Capital Requirements Directive was implemented in various EU countries, including the United Kingdom.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|United States
|-------------

|The Group’s operations are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision in the United States. The Group’s US banking offices are composed of a New York branch (New York Branch), a US administrative office in Florida and representative offices in New York and California. Each of these offices is licensed with, and subject to examination and regulation by, the state banking authority in the state in which it is located.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The New York Branch is licensed by the Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York (Superintendent), examined by the New York State Banking Department, and subject to laws and regulations applicable to a foreign bank operating a New York branch. Under the New York Banking Law and related regulations (amended most recently in January 2007), the New York Branch must maintain, with banks in the State of New York, eligible assets in an amount determined on the basis of a sliding scale so that the amount of assets required to be pledged as a percentage of third party liabilities decreases from 1.0% to 0.25% as such liabilities increase from USD 1 billion or less to more than USD 10 billion (up to a maximum of USD 100 million), as long as the New York Branch continues to be well rated by the Superintendent. Should the New York Branch cease to be well rated, the Group may need to maintain substantial additional amounts of eligible assets. The New York Banking Law also empowers the Superintendent to establish asset maintenance requirements for branches of foreign banks expressed as a percentage of each branch’s liabilities. The Superintendent has not imposed such a requirement upon the New York Branch.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The New York Banking Law authorizes the Superintendent to take possession of the business and property of a foreign bank’s New York branch under circumstances similar to those that would permit the Superintendent to take possession of the business and property of a New York state-chartered bank.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In liquidating or dealing with a branch’s business after taking possession, the Superintendent would only accept for payment the claims of creditors (unaffiliated with the foreign bank) that arose out of transactions with that branch. After the claims of those creditors were paid out of the business and property of the bank in the State of New York, the Superintendent would turn over the remaining assets, if any, to the foreign bank or to its duly appointed liquidator or receiver.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, under the New York Banking Law, the New York Branch is generally subject to the same single borrower lending limits applicable to a New York state-chartered bank. For the New York Branch, those limits, which are expressed as a percentage of capital, are based on the worldwide capital of Credit Suisse.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group’s operations are also subject to US federal banking laws. Under these laws, branches and agencies of foreign banks in the Unites States are subject to reporting and examination requirements similar to those imposed on domestic banks that are owned or controlled by US bank holding companies. Accordingly, the Group’s operations are subject to examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) in its capacity as the Group’s US umbrella supervisor. The New York Branch is also subject to examination by the FRB. In addition, pursuant to the FRB’s regulations, the New York Branch is subject to reserve requirements on deposits and restrictions on the payment of interest on demand deposits. Because the New York Branch does not engage in retail deposit taking, it is not a member of, and its deposits are not insured by, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Among other things, US federal banking laws provide that a state-licensed branch or agency of a foreign bank may not engage in any type of activity that is not permissible for a federally licensed branch or agency of a foreign bank unless the FRB has determined that such activity is consistent with sound banking practice. US federal banking laws also subject a state branch or agency to the same single borrower lending limits applicable to national banks and these limits are based on the capital of the entire foreign bank. Furthermore, the FRB may terminate the activities of a US branch or agency of a foreign bank if it finds that:
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The foreign bank is not subject to comprehensive supervision on a consolidated basis in its home country; or
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– There is reasonable cause to believe that such foreign bank, or an affiliate, has violated the law or engaged in an unsafe or unsound banking practice in the United States and, as a result, continued operation of the branch or agency would be inconsistent with the public interest and purposes of the banking laws.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|If the FRB were to use this authority to close the New York Branch, creditors of the New York Branch would have recourse only against Credit Suisse, unless the Superintendent or other regulatory authorities were to make alternative arrangements for the payment of the liabilities of the New York Branch.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In recent years, a major focus of US policy and regulation relating to financial institutions has been to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. Laws and regulations applicable to the Group and its subsidiaries impose obligations to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing, verify the identity of customers and comply with economic sanctions. The Group’s failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, and violations of such economic sanctions, laws and regulations, could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the Group.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group takes its obligations to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing very seriously, while appropriately respecting and protecting the confidentiality of clients. The Group has policies, procedures and training intended to ensure that its employees know the Group's customers and understand the Group's criteria for when a client relationship or business should be evaluated as higher risk for the Group.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As part of its continuing evaluation of risk, in the first quarter of 2006, the Group determined to limit the amount of business with counterparties in, or directly relating to, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan and Syria. The Group has decided that it will not enter into new relationships with clients from these countries and will end all existing relationships with corporate clients and most private banking clients in these countries. Some designated relationships with private banking clients in these countries will be maintained subject to restrictions, including the centralization of the private banking relationship within Credit Suisse in Switzerland. The Group also has implemented payment and other restrictions with respect to these countries that are applicable to all its clients. These restrictions include, but are not limited to, prohibiting dealing in transactions in securities and other financial products offered, issued or administered by an entity located in these countries, such as securities issued by the government of, or a company located in, or held by custodians in, these countries. In addition, the Group has decided to close its representative office in Tehran, Iran.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The US State Department has designated such countries as state sponsors of terrorism, and US law generally prohibits US persons from doing business with such countries. The Group is aware of initiatives by governmental entities and institutions in the United States to adopt rules, regulations or policies prohibiting transactions with or investments in entities doing business with such countries. The Group is a Swiss-domiciled organization and its activities with respect to such countries are subject to policies and procedures designed to ensure that US persons are not involved and otherwise comply with applicable laws and regulations. The Group does not believe its business activities with counterparties in, or directly relating to, such countries are material to its business, and such activities represented a very small part of total assets as of December 31, 2006, and total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Non-banking activities of banking institutions
|----------------------------------------------

|Federal and state banking laws, including the International Banking Act of 1978, as amended, and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, restrict the Group’s ability to engage, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, in non-banking activities in the United States. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA) significantly modified these restrictions.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Once the GLBA took effect, qualifying bank holding companies and foreign banks qualifying as financial holding companies were permitted to engage in a substantially broader range of non-banking activities in the United States, including insurance, securities, private equity and other financial activities. The GLBA does not authorize banks or their affiliates to engage in commercial activities that are not financial in nature or incidental thereto without other specific legal authority or exemption.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Certain restrictions governing the acquisition of US banks were not affected by the GLBA. Accordingly, the Group is required to obtain the prior approval of the FRB (and potentially other US banking regulators) before acquiring, directly or indirectly, the ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares of any US bank, bank holding company or many other US depository institutions and their holding companies. The New York Branch is also restricted from engaging in certain tying arrangements involving products and services.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Under the GLBA and related FRB regulations, the Group and the Bank became financial holding companies effective March 23, 2000, by certifying and demonstrating that the Bank was well-capitalized and well-managed. If in the future the Group or the Bank ceases to be well-capitalized or well-managed, or otherwise fails to meet any of the requirements for financial holding company status, then it may be required to discontinue newly authorized financial activities or terminate its New York Branch. The Group’s ability to undertake acquisitions permitted by financial holding companies could also be adversely affected.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The GLBA and the regulations issued thereunder contain a number of other provisions that could affect the Group’s operations and the operations of all financial institutions. One such provision relates to the financial privacy of consumers. In addition, the so-called push-out provisions of the GLBA narrow the exclusion of banks (including the New York Branch) from the definitions of broker and dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted a series of temporary exemptions to delay the required implementation of these push-out provisions. The narrowed dealer definition took effect in September 2003, and the narrowed broker definition is currently expected to apply to the Group beginning January 1, 2009. As a result, it is likely that certain securities activities currently conducted by the New York Branch will need to be restructured or transferred to one or more US-registered broker-dealer affiliates.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|United Kingdom
|--------------

|The UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) is the principal statutory regulator of financial services activity in the United Kingdom, deriving its powers from the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA). The FSA regulates banking, insurance (long-term and general), investment business and the activities of mortgage intermediaries. In undertaking its role as regulator, the FSA generally adopts a risk-based approach, supervising all aspects of a firm’s business, including capital resources, systems and controls and management structures, the conduct of its business, anti-money laundering and staff training. The FSA has wide investigatory and enforcement powers, including the power to require information and documents from financial services businesses, appoint investigators, apply to the court for injunctions or restitution orders, prosecute criminal offenses, impose financial penalties, issue public statements or censures and vary, cancel or withdraw authorizations it has granted.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As a member state of the European Union, the United Kingdom is required to implement EU directives into national law. The regulatory regime for banks operating in the United Kingdom conforms to required EU standards including compliance with capital adequacy standards, customer protection requirements, conduct of business rules and anti-money laundering rules. These standards, requirements and rules are similarly implemented, under the same directives, throughout the other member states of the European Union in which the Group operates and are broadly comparable in scope and purpose to the regulatory capital and customer protection requirements imposed under US law.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The London branch of Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse International and Credit Suisse (UK) Limited are authorized to take deposits. Credit Suisse also has a number of entities authorized to conduct investment business and asset management activities. In deciding whether to grant authorization, the FSA first must determine whether a firm satisfies the threshold conditions for suitability, including the requirement for the firm to be fit and proper. In addition to regulation by the FSA, certain wholesale money markets activities are subject to the Non-Investment Products Code (NIPS Code), a voluntary code of conduct published by the Bank of England. The FSA participated in the development of the NIPS Code and expects FSA-regulated firms to take due account of it when conducting wholesale money market business.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The FSA cannot set capital requirements for the London Branch. The FSA does, however, require Credit Suisse International and Credit Suisse (UK) Limited to maintain a minimum capital ratio and to monitor and report large exposures in accordance with the rules implementing the Capital Requirements Directive. Furthermore, the FSA requires banks operating in the United Kingdom to maintain adequate liquidity.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The United Kingdom implemented the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) in January 2007. As a consequence, Credit Suisse’s authorized entities in the United Kingdom are required to comply with the new version of the FSA Handbook on November 1, 2007. The updates include the requirement to reclassify customers in accordance with MiFID provisions. The London branch of Credit Suisse will be required to comply principally with its home country regulatory regime; however, some of the new conduct of business rules in the United Kingdom will be applicable from November 2007.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Investment banking and asset management
|---------------------------------------

|Switzerland
|-----------

|The Group’s securities dealer activities in Switzerland are conducted primarily through Credit Suisse and are subject to regulation under the Stock Exchange Act. The Stock Exchange Act regulates all aspects of the securities dealer business in Switzerland, including regulatory capital, risk concentration, sales and trading practices, record-keeping requirements and procedures and periodic reporting procedures. The regulatory capital requirements and risk concentration limits for securities dealers are substantially the same as for banks. Securities dealers are supervised by the SFBC.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group’s asset management activities in Switzerland include the establishment and administration of mutual funds registered for public distribution. In accordance with the Swiss Law on Collective Capital Investment Schemes, which came into effect on January 1, 2007, and replaces the Swiss Law on Mutual Funds, these activities are conducted under the supervision of the SFBC.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|European Union
|--------------

|In April 2004, as part of the FSAP, the European Union adopted MiFID. MiFID was required to be implemented into national laws by January 2007 (although this has not yet been done in most jurisdictions) and comes into force on November 1, 2007. MiFID replaces the Investment Services Directive and widens the scope of regulated investment services and instruments to include, for example, investment advice and services and activities relating to commodity derivatives. In relation to these and other investment services and activities, MiFID provides a "passport" for investment firms enabling them to conduct cross-border activities throughout Europe on the basis of authorization from their home state regulator.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|MiFID establishes high-level organizational and business conduct standards that apply to all investment firms. These include new standards for managing conflicts of interest, best execution, customer classification and suitability requirements for customers. MiFID also sets standards for regulated markets (i.e., exchanges) and multilateral trading facilities and sets out pre-trade and post-trade price transparency requirements for equity trading.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|United States
|-------------

|In the United States, the SEC is the federal agency primarily responsible for the regulation of broker-dealers, investment advisers and investment companies, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is the federal agency primarily responsible for the regulation of futures commission merchants, commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisors. In addition, the Department of the Treasury has the authority to promulgate rules relating to US Treasury and government agency securities, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board has the authority to promulgate rules relating to municipal securities, and the board promulgates regulations applicable to certain securities credit transactions. In addition, broker-dealers are subject to regulation by industry self-regulatory organizations, including the NASD and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and by state authorities. The NYSE and the NASD have announced that they intend to merge their regulatory functions into a single regulatory organization, expected to begin operations in the second quarter of 2007. For their futures activities, broker-dealers are subject to industry self-regulatory organizations such as the National Futures Association (NFA), and regulation by state authorities.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group’s investment banking business includes broker-dealers registered with the SEC, all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and futures commission merchants and commodities trading advisers registered with the CFTC. As a result of these registrations, and memberships in self-regulatory organizations, such as the NASD, the NYSE and the NFA, the Group’s investment banking business is subject to overlapping schemes of regulation covering all aspects of its securities and futures activities, including:
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Capital requirements;
|-----------------------

|– The use and safekeeping of customers’ funds and securities;
|-------------------------------------------------------------

|– Suitability of customer investments;
|--------------------------------------

|– Recordkeeping and reporting requirements;
|-------------------------------------------

|– Supervisory and organizational procedures intended to ensure compliance with securities and commodities laws and the rules of the self-regulatory organizations;
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Supervisory and organizational procedures intended to prevent improper trading on material non-public information;
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Employee-related matters;
|---------------------------

|– Limitations on extensions of credit in securities transactions;
|-----------------------------------------------------------------

|– Required procedures for trading on securities and commodities exchanges and in the over-the-counter (OTC) market;
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Prevention and detection of money laundering and terrorist financing;
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Procedures relating to research analyst independence;
|-------------------------------------------------------

|– Procedures for the clearance and settlement of trades; and
|------------------------------------------------------------

|– Communications with the public.
|---------------------------------

|
|

|The broker-dealers’ operations are also subject to the SEC’s net capital rule, Rule 15c3-1 (Net Capital Rule), promulgated under the Exchange Act, which requires broker-dealers to maintain a specified level of minimum net capital in relatively liquid form. The Group also has a “broker-dealer lite” entity (or OTC derivatives dealer), which is subject to the Net Capital Rule but calculates its capital requirements under Appendix F. The Net Capital Rule also limits the ability of broker-dealers to transfer large amounts of capital to parent companies and other affiliates. Compliance with the Net Capital Rule could limit Group operations that require intensive use of capital, such as underwriting and trading activities and the financing of customer account balances and also could restrict the Group’s ability to withdraw capital from the Group’s broker-dealer subsidiaries, which in turn could limit the Group’s ability to pay dividends and make payments on the Group’s debt. Certain of the Group’s broker-dealers are also subject to the net capital requirements of various self-regulatory organizations.

|As registered futures commission merchants, certain of the Group’s broker-dealers are subject to the capital and other requirements of the CFTC under the Commodity Exchange Act. These requirements include the provision of certain disclosure documents, generally impose prohibitions against trading ahead of customers orders and other fraudulent trading practices, and include provisions as to the handling of customer funds and reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

|The investment banking and asset management businesses include legal entities registered and regulated as investment advisers under the US Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and the SEC’s rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, the SEC has recently proposed rules that clarify its ability to bring enforcement actions against investment advisers (including advisers that are not registered or required to be registered with the SEC) that defraud investors in hedge funds or other pooled investment vehicles. The SEC-registered mutual funds that the Group advises are subject to various requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the SEC’s rules and regulations thereunder. For pension fund customers, the Group is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and similar state statutes. Finally, because some of the investment vehicles the Group advises are commodity pools, the Group is subject to the Commodity Exchange Act for such vehicles.

|United Kingdom
|--------------

|The Group’s London broker-dealer subsidiaries and asset management companies are authorized under the FSMA and are subject to regulation by the FSA. In deciding whether to authorize an investment firm in the United Kingdom, the FSA will consider the threshold conditions for suitability set out in its rules, including the general requirement for a firm to be fit and proper. The FSA is responsible for regulating most aspects of an investment firm’s business, including its regulatory capital, sales and trading practices, use and safekeeping of customer funds and securities, record-keeping, margin practices and procedures, registration standards for individuals carrying on certain functions, anti-money laundering systems and periodic reporting and settlement procedures.

|Critical accounting policies
|----------------------------

|In order to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management is required to make certain accounting estimates to ascertain the value of assets and liabilities. These estimates are based upon judgment and the information available at the time, and actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent, reasonable and consistently applied. For further information on significant accounting policies and new accounting pronouncements, see note 1 “Summary of significant accounting policies” and note 2 “Recently issued accounting standards” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group believes that the critical accounting policies discussed below involve the most complex judgments and assessments.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Fair value
|----------

|The fair value of the majority of the Group’s financial instruments is based on quoted market prices in active markets or observable market parameters or is derived from such prices or parameters. These instruments include government and agency securities, commercial paper, most investment-grade corporate debt, most high-yield debt securities, exchange traded and certain OTC derivative instruments, most Collateralized debt obligations (CDO), most mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, certain residential mortgage whole loans and listed equity securities.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, the Group holds financial instruments that are thinly traded or for which no market prices are available, and which have little or no price transparency. For these instruments, the determination of fair value requires subjective assessment and varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, concentration, pricing assumptions and the risks affecting the specific instrument. In such circumstances, valuation is determined based on management’s best estimate of fair value. These instruments include certain investment-grade corporate debt securities, certain high-yield debt securities, distressed debt securities, certain CDOs, certain OTC derivatives, certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, non-traded equity securities and private equity and other long-term investments. Valuation techniques for certain of these instruments are described more fully below.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Controls over the fair valuation process
|----------------------------------------

|Control processes are applied to ensure that the fair value of the financial instruments reported in the consolidated financial statements, including those derived from pricing models, are appropriate and determined on a reasonable basis. The Group determines fair value using observable market prices or market-based parameters whenever possible. In the absence of observable market prices or market-based parameters in an active market, observable prices or market-based parameters of comparable market transactions or other observable data supporting an estimation of fair value using a valuation model at the inception of a contract, fair value is based on the transaction price. Control processes are designed to assure that the valuation approach is appropriate and the assumptions are reasonable.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|These control processes include the review and approval of new instruments, review of profit and loss at regular intervals, risk monitoring and review, price verification procedures and reviews of models used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments by senior management and personnel with relevant expertise who are independent of the trading and investment functions.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group also has agreements with certain counterparties to exchange collateral based on the fair value of derivatives contracts. Through this process, one or both parties provide the other party with the fair value of these derivatives contracts in order to determine the amount of collateral required. This exchange of information provides additional support for valuation of certain derivatives contracts. The Group and other participants in the OTC derivatives market provide pricing information to aggregation services that compile this data and provide this information to subscribers. This information is considered in the determination of fair value for certain OTC derivatives.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Price transparency of financial instruments recorded at fair value
|------------------------------------------------------------------

|Financial instruments recorded in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value have been categorized based upon the transparency of the pricing information available.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The categories of pricing transparency have been broadly segregated as follows:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Quoted market prices or observable market parameters:these financial instruments are valued based upon directly observable market prices or through the use of valuation models and techniques for which the required parameters are directly observable.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Reduced or no observable market parameters: these financial instruments are priced using management’s best estimate of fair value applying valuation techniques that are based on significant judgment since observable, market-based data is not generally available.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The following table sets forth a summary of the fair value methodology applied to the Group’s financial instruments:

|Trading assets and liabilities
|------------------------------

|Money market instruments
|------------------------

|Traded money market instruments include instruments such as bankers’ acceptances, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, book claims, treasury bills and other rights, which are held for trading purposes. Valuations of traded money market instruments are generally based on market prices or market parameters and, therefore, typically do not require significant judgment.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Trading securities
|------------------

|The Group’s trading securities consist of interest-bearing securities and rights and equity securities. Interest-bearing securities and rights include debt securities, residential and commercial mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities and CDOs. Equity securities include common equity shares, convertible bonds and separately managed funds.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For debt securities for which market prices are not available, valuations are based on yields reflecting the perceived risk of the issuer and the maturity of the security, recent disposals in the market or other modeling techniques, which may involve judgment.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Values of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities are generally available through quoted market prices, which are often based on market information of the prices at which similarly structured and collateralized securities trade between dealers and to and from customers. Values of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities for which there are no significant observable market parameters are valued using valuation models incorporating prepayment scenarios and Monte Carlo simulations.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Collateralized debt, bond and loan obligations are split into various structured tranches, and each tranche is valued based upon its individual rating and the underlying collateral supporting the structure. Values are derived by using valuation models to calculate the internal rate of return of the estimated cash flows.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The majority of the Group’s positions in equity securities are traded on public stock exchanges, for which daily quoted market prices are available. Fair values of preferred shares are determined by their yield and the subordination relative to the issuer’s other credit obligations. Convertible bonds are generally valued using direct pricing sources. For a small number of convertible bonds no direct prices are available and valuation is determined using internal and external models, for which the key input parameters include stock price, dividend rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, prepayment rates and equity market volatility.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The fair values of positions in separately managed funds, which include debt and equity securities, are determined on a regular basis by independent fund administrators. As valuations are not provided on a daily basis, models are used to estimate changes in fair value between such determination dates.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Derivatives
|-----------

|Positions in derivatives held for trading purposes include both OTC and exchange-traded derivatives. The fair values of exchange-traded derivatives are typically derived from the observable exchange prices and/or observable market parameters. Fair values for OTC derivatives are determined on the basis of internally developed proprietary models using various input parameters. The input parameters include those characteristics of the derivative that have a bearing on the economics of the instrument and market parameters.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The determination of the fair value of many derivatives involves only a limited degree of subjectivity because the required input parameters are observable in the marketplace. The pricing of these instruments is referred to as “direct.” For other more complex derivatives, subjectivity relating to the determination of input parameters reduces price transparency. The pricing of these instruments is referred to as “indirect.” Specific areas of subjectivity include estimating long-dated volatility assumptions on OTC option transactions and recovery rate assumptions for credit derivative transactions. Uncertainty of pricing assumptions and liquidity are also considered as part of the valuation process. The Group has applied the guidance contained in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 02-3, “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities” (EITF 02-3), prior to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” In accordance with the provisions of EITF 02-3, the Group did not recognize a dealer profit or loss, unrealized gain or loss at inception of a derivative transaction, or day one profit/loss unless the valuation underlying the unrealized gain or loss is evidenced by: (i) quoted market prices in an active market; (ii) observable prices of other current market transactions; or (iii) other observable data supporting a valuation technique. The deferred profit or loss is amortized over either the life of the derivative or the period until which observable data are available.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP are valued at fair value but are reported in Other assets or Other liabilities rather than in Trading assets or Trading liabilities. Fair values for these instruments are determined in the same manner as for derivatives held for trading purposes.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For further information on derivatives, see note 27 “Derivatives and hedging activities” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other trading assets
|--------------------

|Other trading assets primarily include residential mortgage loans that are purchased with the intent to securitize. Valuations for traded residential mortgage loans are based on pricing factors specific to loan level attributes, such as loan-to-value ratios, current balance and liens. In addition, current written offers or contract prices are considered in the valuation process.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Investment securities
|---------------------

|Investment securities recorded at fair value include debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale. These debt and equity securities are quoted on public exchanges or liquid OTC markets where the determination of fair value involves relatively little judgment. These instruments include government and corporate bonds held for asset and liability management or other medium-term business strategies. As discussed in note 1 “Summary of significant accounting policies” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006, unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss (AOCI); however, recognition of an impairment loss is recorded if a decline in fair value below carrying value is considered to be other than temporary. The risks inherent in the assessment methodology for impairments include the risk that market factors may differ from the Group’s expectations, that the Group may decide to sell a security for unforeseen liquidity needs or that the credit assessment or equity characteristics may change from the Group’s original assessment.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other investments and non-trading liabilities
|---------------------------------------------

|The Group’s Other investments include items for which the determination of fair value is generally more subjective, including hybrid instruments, private equity and other alternative capital investments.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Private equity and other long-term investments include direct investments and investments in partnerships that make private equity and related investments in various portfolio companies and funds. Private equity investments and other long-term investments consist of both publicly traded securities and private securities. Publicly traded investments are valued based upon readily available market quotes with appropriate adjustments for liquidity as a result of holding large blocks and/or having trading restrictions. Private securities, which generally have no readily available market or may be otherwise restricted as to resale, are valued taking into account a number of factors, such as the most recent round of financing involving unrelated new investors, earnings multiple analyses using comparable companies or discounted cash flow analysis.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Internally-managed funds include partnerships and related direct investments for which the Group acts as the fund’s adviser and makes investment decisions. Internally-managed funds principally invest in private securities and, to a lesser extent, publicly traded securities and fund of funds partnerships. The increase in Credit Suisse managed funds was primarily due to the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities for the first time in 2006. For further information on this first time consolidation, see note 2 “Recently issued accounting standards” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006. The fair value of investments in internally-managed fund of funds partnerships, which is reflected in “Reduced or no observable market parameters” in the table above, is based on the valuation received from the underlying fund manager and reviewed by the Group. The fair value of investments in other internally managed funds is based on the Group’s valuation. Balances reported in internally-managed funds also include amounts relating to the consolidation of private equity funds under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation (FIN) No. 46 (Revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – An Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46(R)), which are described in further detail in note 29 “Transfers and servicing of financial assets” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006. A substantial portion of the private equity funds consolidated primarily under FIN 46(R) is reflected in “Reduced or no observable market parameters” in the table above. Funds managed by third parties include investments in funds managed by an external fund manager. The fair value of these funds is based on the valuation received from the general partner of the fund and reviewed by the Group.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Contingencies and loss provisions
|---------------------------------

|A contingency is an existing condition that involves a degree of uncertainty that will ultimately be resolved upon the occurrence of future events.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Litigation contingencies
|------------------------

|From time to time, the Group and its subsidiaries are involved in a variety of legal, regulatory and arbitration matters in connection with the conduct of its businesses. It is inherently difficult to predict the outcome of many of these matters, particularly those cases in which the matters are brought on behalf of various classes of claimants, seek damages of unspecified or indeterminate amounts or involve novel legal claims. In presenting the Group’s consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates regarding the outcome of legal, regulatory and arbitration matters and takes a charge to income when losses with respect to such matters are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Charges, other than those taken periodically for costs of defense, are not established for matters when losses cannot be reasonably estimated. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and currently available information and involve a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and nature of the litigation, claim or proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of legal counsel and other advisers, the Group’s defenses and its experience in similar cases or proceedings as well as the Group’s assessment of matters, including settlements, involving other defendants in similar or related cases or proceedings. For further information on legal proceedings, see Item 8 “Financial Information  Legal proceedings” and note 34 “Litigation and other contingencies” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Allowances and provisions for losses
|------------------------------------

|As a normal part of its business, the Group is exposed to credit risks through its lending relationships, commitments and letters of credit as well as counterparty risk on derivatives, foreign exchange and other transactions. Credit risk is the risk that a borrower or counterparty is unable to meet its financial obligations. In the event of a default, the Group generally incurs a loss equal to the amount owed by the counterparty, less a recovery amount resulting from foreclosure, liquidation of collateral or restructuring of the counterparty’s obligation. Allowances for loan losses are maintained, as discussed in note 1 “Summary of significant accounting policies” and note 12 “Loans” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006. The allowances for loan losses are considered adequate to absorb credit losses existing at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets. These allowances are for probable credit losses inherent in existing exposures and credit exposures specifically identified as impaired.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Inherent loan loss allowance
|----------------------------

|The inherent loss allowance is for all credit exposures not specifically identified as impaired and that, on a portfolio basis, are considered to contain probable inherent loss. The loan valuation allowance is established by analyzing historical and current default probabilities, historical recovery assumptions and internal risk ratings. The methodology for investment banking adjusts the rating-specific default probabilities to incorporate not only historic third-party data over a period but also those implied from current quoted credit spreads.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Many factors are evaluated in estimating probable credit losses inherent in existing exposures. These factors include: the volatility of default probabilities; rating changes; the magnitude of the potential loss; internal risk ratings; geographic, industry and other environmental factors; and imprecision in the methodologies and models used to estimate credit risk. Overall credit risk indicators are also considered, such as trends in internal risk-rated exposures, classified exposure, cash-basis loans, recent loss experience and forecasted write-offs, as well as industry and geographic concentrations and current developments within those segments or locations. The Group’s current business strategy and credit process, including credit approvals and limits, underwriting criteria and workout procedures, are also important factors.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Significant judgment is exercised in the evaluation of these factors. For example, estimating the amount of potential loss requires an assessment of the period of the underlying data. Data that does not capture a complete credit cycle may compromise the accuracy of loss estimates. Determining which external data relating to default probabilities should be used and when they should be used, also requires judgment. The use of market indices and ratings that do not sufficiently correlate to the Group’s specific exposure characteristics could also affect the accuracy of loss estimates. Evaluating the impact of uncertainties regarding macroeconomic and political conditions, currency devaluations on cross-border exposures, changes in underwriting criteria, unexpected correlations among exposures and other factors all require significant judgment. Changes in the Group’s estimates of probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio could have an impact on the provision and result in a change in the allowance.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Specific loan loss allowances
|-----------------------------

|The Group makes provisions for specific credit losses on impaired loans based on regular and detailed analysis of each loan in the portfolio. This analysis includes an estimate of the realizable value of any collateral, the costs associated with obtaining repayment and realization of any such collateral, the counterparty’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record, the extent of the Group’s other commitments to the same counterparty and prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors. For further information on specific loan loss allowances, see note 1 “Summary of significant accounting policies” and note 12 “Loans” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The methodology for calculating specific allowances involves judgments at many levels. First, it involves the early identification of deteriorating credits. Extensive judgment is required in order to properly evaluate the various indicators of financial condition of a counterparty and likelihood of repayment. The failure to identify certain indicators or give them proper weight could lead to a different conclusion about the credit risk. The assessment of credit risk is subject to inherent limitations with respect to the completeness and accuracy of relevant information (for example, relating to the counterparty, collateral or guarantee) that is available at the time of the assessment. Significant judgment is exercised in determining the amount of the provision. Whenever possible, independent, verifiable data or the Group’s own historical loss experience is used in models for estimating loan losses. However, a significant degree of uncertainty remains when applying such valuation techniques. Under the Group’s loans policy, the classification of loan status also has a significant impact on the subsequent accounting for interest accruals.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Goodwill impairments
|--------------------

|As a result of acquisitions, the Group has recorded Goodwill as an asset in its consolidated balance sheet, the most significant component of which arose from the acquisition of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Inc. Goodwill was CHF 11.0 billion and CHF 12.9 billion as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The primary decrease in Goodwill in 2006 was due to the sale of Winterthur. For further information on this divestiture, see note 4 “Discontinued operations” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006. The remaining decrease in Goodwill in 2006 was caused primarily by foreign exchange fluctuations in Goodwill denominated in US dollars.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Recorded Goodwill is not amortized, rather it is reviewed for possible impairments on an annual basis and at any other time that events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of Goodwill may not be recoverable. Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors; an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; unanticipated competition; loss of key personnel; the likelihood that a reporting unit or significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of; results of testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; and recognition of a Goodwill impairment loss in the financial statements of a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For the purpose of testing Goodwill for impairment, each reporting unit is assessed individually. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, also referred to as a component. A component of an operating segment is deemed to be a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. Investment Banking is considered to be one reporting unit, and in Private Banking, Wealth Management and Corporate & Retail Banking, are considered to be reporting units. In Asset Management, the two primary business areas, traditional asset management and alternative investments, are considered to be reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, there is no Goodwill impairment. Factors considered in determining the fair value of reporting units include, among other things: an evaluation of recent acquisitions of similar entities in the market place; current share values in the market place for similar publicly traded entities, including price multiples; recent trends in the Group’s share price and those of competitors; estimates of the Group’s future earnings potential; and the level of interest rates.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Estimates of the Group’s future earnings potential, and that of the reporting units, involve considerable judgment, including management’s view on future changes in market cycles, the anticipated result of the implementation of business strategies, competitive factors and assumptions concerning the retention of key employees. Adverse changes in the estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair value of the Group’s reporting units may result in a Goodwill impairment charge in the future.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|During 2006 and 2005, no Goodwill impairment charges were recorded. For further information on Goodwill, see note 14 “Goodwill” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Income taxes
|------------

|Deferred tax valuation allowances
|---------------------------------

|Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of operating loss carry-forwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The realization of deferred tax assets on temporary differences is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The realization of such deferred tax assets on net operating losses is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during the periods prior to their expiration, if applicable. Management periodically evaluates whether deferred tax assets can be realized. If management considers it more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a corresponding valuation allowance is established. In evaluating whether deferred tax assets can be realized, management considers projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|This evaluation requires significant management judgment, primarily with respect to projected taxable income. The estimate of future taxable income can never be predicted with certainty. It is derived from budgets and strategic business plans but is dependent on numerous factors, some of which are beyond management’s control. Substantial variance of actual results from estimated future taxable profits, or changes in the Group’s estimate of future taxable profits, could lead to changes in deferred tax assets being realizable, or considered realizable, and would require a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Group had deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences and from net operating losses that could reduce taxable income in future periods. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, included gross deferred tax assets of CHF 6.3 billion and CHF 11.7 billion, respectively, and gross deferred tax liabilities of CHF 1.1 billion and CHF 6.4 billion, respectively. The decrease from 2005 to 2006 is due to the sale of Winterthur. Due to uncertainty concerning the Group’s ability to generate the necessary amount and mix of taxable income in future periods, a valuation allowance was recorded against deferred tax assets in the amount of CHF 728 million and CHF 1,225 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which related primarily to deferred tax assets on net operating loss carry-forwards.

|Tax contingencies
|-----------------

|Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating certain tax positions. The Group accrues for tax contingencies. Despite the belief that its tax return positions are fully supportable, certain positions could be reviewed by local tax authorities. Once established, tax contingency accruals are adjusted due to changing facts and circumstances, such as case law, progress of audits or when an event occurs requiring a change to the tax contingency accruals. Management regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes to determine the appropriateness of provisions for income taxes. Although the outcome of any dispute is uncertain, management believes that it has appropriately accrued for any unfavorable outcome.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pension plans
|-------------

|The Group covers pension requirements, in both Swiss and non-Swiss locations, through various defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution pension plans.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group’s funding policy with respect to the non-Swiss pension plans is consistent with local government and tax requirements. In certain non-Swiss locations, the amount of the Group contribution to defined contribution pension plans is linked to the return on equity of the respective segments and, as a result, the amount of the Group’s contribution may differ materially from year to year.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The calculation of the expense and liability associated with the defined benefit pension plans requires an extensive use of assumptions, which include the discount rate, expected return on plan assets and rate of future compensation increases as determined by the Group. Management determines these assumptions based upon currently available market and industry data and historical performance of the plans and their assets. Management also consults with an independent actuarial firm to assist in selecting appropriate assumptions and valuing its related liabilities. The actuarial assumptions used by the Group may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates or longer or shorter life spans of the participants. Any such differences could have a significant impact on the amount of pension expense recorded in future years.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The funded status of the Group’s defined benefit and other post-retirement defined benefit plans are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. The previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and net transition assets or obligations are recognized in equity as a component of AOCI.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As of December 31, 2006, the Group’s Swiss defined benefit pension plans accounted for approximately 80% of the projected benefit obligations while the international defined benefit pension plans accounted for approximately 20% of the projected benefit obligations. The annual amount contributed to the Swiss plans and international plans over the last three years averaged CHF 387 million and CHF 238 million, respectively. In 2006, contributions of CHF 338 million were made to the Swiss plans and CHF 38 million were made to the international plans. The Group expects to make total contributions to the Swiss and international plans of approximately CHF 363 million in 2007.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The projected benefit obligations of the Group’s total defined benefit pension plans include an amount related to future salary increases of CHF 1,402 million. On the basis of the accumulated benefit obligation, which is defined as the projected benefit obligation less the amount related to future salary increases, the under-funded status of the plans was CHF 277 million for 2006.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group is required to estimate the expected return on plan assets, which is then used to compute pension cost recorded in the consolidated statement of income. Estimating future returns on plan assets is particularly subjective, as the estimate requires an assessment of possible future market returns based on the plan asset mix and observed historical returns. In calculating pension expense and in determining the expected rate of return, the Group uses the market-related value of assets.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As of September 30, 2006, the Swiss plans’ assets were allocated 18.6% to equity securities, 42.1% to debt securities, 16.0% to real estate, 12.1% to liquidity and 11.2% to alternative investments. The Swiss plans’ assets as of December 31, 2005, were allocated 13.1% to equity securities, 32.6% to debt securities, 25.4% to insurance, 12.2% to real estate, 11.5% to liquidity and 5.2% to alternative investments. Liquidity investments are mainly cash and cash equivalents, and alternative investments may include private equity investments, hedge funds and commodities. The year-end allocations were within the plans’ target ranges.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The plan assets for the international plans as of September 30, 2006, were allocated 44.7% to equity securities, 49.8% to debt securities, 4.9% to insurance, 0.2% to real estate, 0.2% to liquidity and 0.2% to alternative investments. The plan assets for the international plans as of December 31, 2005, were allocated 47.7% to equity securities, 18.1% to debt securities, 21.2% to insurance, 3.1% to real estate, 5.5% to liquidity and 4.4% to alternative investments. The year-end allocations were within the plans’ target ranges.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The expected rate of return on plan assets in Switzerland increased 0.3% to 5.0% as of December 31, 2006, from 4.7% as of December 31, 2005, due mainly to an improvement in expected rates of return from the Swiss debt markets. For the year ended December 31, 2006, if the expected rate of return had been increased 1%, net pension expense for the Swiss plans would have decreased CHF 110 million and net pension expense for the international plans would have decreased CHF 19 million.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The discount rate used in determining the benefit obligation is based either upon high-quality corporate bond rates or government bond rates plus a premium in order to approximate high-quality corporate bond rates. In estimating the discount rate, the Group takes into consideration the relationship between the corporate bonds and the timing and amount of the future cash outflows of its benefit payments. The average discount rate used for Swiss plans increased 0.3% from 3.0% as of December 31, 2005, to 3.3% as of December 31, 2006, due mainly to an increase in Swiss bond market rates. The average discount rate used for international plans increased 0.4% from 4.8% as of December 31, 2005, to 5.2% as of December 31, 2006, due mainly to an increase in bond market rates in the European Union and the United States. The discount rate affects both the pension expense and the pension benefit obligation (PBO). For the year ended December 31, 2006, a 1% decline in the discount rate for the Swiss plans would have resulted in an increase in the PBO of CHF 1,936 million and an increase in pension expense of CHF 180 million, and a 1% increase in the discount rate would have resulted in a decrease in the PBO of CHF 1,527 million and a decrease in the pension expense of CHF 58 million. A 1% decline in the discount rate for the international plans would have resulted in an increase in the PBO of CHF 799 million and an increase in pension expense of CHF 63 million, and a 1% increase in the discount rate would have resulted in a decrease in the PBO of CHF 579 million and a decrease in the pension expense of CHF 50 million.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Recognized actuarial losses are amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan, which is approximately 10 years for the Swiss plans and 7 to 25 years for the international plans. The expense associated with the amortization of recognized net actuarial losses for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was CHF 121 million and CHF 48 million, respectively. The amortization of recognized actuarial losses for the year ending December 31, 2007, which is assessed at the beginning of the plan year, is expected to be CHF 122 million. The amount by which the actual return on plan assets differs from the Group’s estimate of the expected return on those assets further impacts the amount of net recognized actuarial losses, resulting in a higher or lower amount of amortization expense in periods after 2007.

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Off-balance sheet arrangements
|------------------------------

|The Group enters into off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Off-balance sheet arrangements are transactions or other contractual arrangements with, or for the benefit of, an entity that is not consolidated with an issuer, and which include guarantees and similar arrangements, retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity, and obligations and liabilities (including contingent obligations and liabilities) under material variable interests in unconsolidated entities for the purpose of providing financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Guarantees
|----------

|In the ordinary course of business, guarantees and indemnifications are provided that contingently obligate the Group to make payments to the guaranteed or indemnified party based on changes in an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed or indemnified party. The Group may be contingently obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party based on another entity’s failure to perform, or the Group may have an indirect guarantee of the indebtedness of others. Guarantees provided include customary indemnifications to purchasers in connection with the sale of assets or businesses; to investors in private equity funds sponsored by the Group regarding potential obligations of its employees to return amounts previously paid as carried interest; to investors in Group securities and other arrangements to provide “gross up” payments if there is a withholding or deduction because of a tax assessment or other governmental charge; and to counterparties in connection with securities lending arrangements.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In connection with the sale of assets or businesses, the Group sometimes provides the acquirer with certain indemnification provisions. These indemnification provisions vary by counterparty in scope and duration and depend upon the type of assets or businesses sold. These indemnification provisions generally shift the potential risk of certain unquantifiable and unknowable loss contingencies (e.g., relating to litigation, tax and intellectual property matters). The Group closely monitors all such contractual agreements to ensure that indemnification provisions are adequately provided for in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In December 2006, the Group completed the sale of Winterthur to AXA S.A. Under the share purchase agreement, the Group gave AXA S.A. certain customary representations and warranties and covenants about Winterthur and its business.  As of December 31, 2006, the Group was not aware of any circumstances that could give rise to a claim by AXA S.A. under the agreement.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|FIN No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45), requires disclosure of our maximum potential payment obligations under certain guarantees to the extent that it is possible to estimate them and requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of guaranteed obligations for guarantees issued or amended after December 31, 2002. The recognition of these liabilities did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. For disclosure of our estimable maximum payment obligations under certain guarantees and related information, see note 28 “Guarantees and commitments” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to unconsolidated entities
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group originates and purchases commercial and residential mortgages for the purpose of securitization. These assets are sold directly, or through affiliates, to special purpose entities that are, in most cases, qualified special purpose entities (QSPEs) that are not consolidated by the Group. These QSPEs issue securities that are backed by the assets transferred to the QSPEs and pay a return based on the returns of those assets. Investors in these mortgage-backed securities typically have recourse to the assets in the QSPEs; however, neither the investors nor the QSPEs have recourse to the Group’s assets. The Group is an underwriter of, and makes a market in, these securities.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Under SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,” a QSPE is not required to be consolidated with the transferor. The Group’s mortgage-backed securitization activities are generally structured to use QSPEs, and the assets and liabilities transferred to QSPEs are not included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group may retain interests in these securitized assets in connection with its underwriting and market-making activities. Retained interests in securitized financial assets are included at fair value in Trading assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Any changes in the fair value of these retained interests are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The Group engages in these securitization activities to meet the needs of clients as part of its fixed income activities, to earn fees and to sell financial assets. These securitization activities do not provide a material source of liquidity, capital resources, credit risk or market risk support to the Group. For quantitative information on the Group’s securitization activities and retained interests, see note 29 “Transfers and servicing of financial assets” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Variable interest entities
|--------------------------

|FIN 46(R) requires the Group to consolidate all variable interest entities (VIE) for which it is the primary beneficiary, defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of expected losses, receive a majority of the expected residual returns, or both. The Group consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As a normal part of its business, the Group engages in transactions with various entities that may be deemed to be VIEs, including VIEs that issue CDOs.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group purchases loans and other debt obligations from and on behalf of clients for the purpose of securitization. The loans and other debt obligations are sold to QSPEs or VIEs that issue CDOs. VIEs issue CDOs to fund the purchase of assets such as investment-grade and high-yield corporate debt instruments. The Group engages in CDO transactions to meet the needs of clients, to earn fees and to sell financial assets.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group continues to act as the administrator and provider of liquidity and credit enhancement facilities for several Commercial paper conduits (CP conduits). These CP conduits purchase assets, primarily receivables, from clients and provide liquidity through the issuance of commercial paper backed by these assets. The clients provide credit support to investors of the CP conduits in the form of over-collateralization and other asset-specific enhancements as described below. The Group does not sell assets to the CP conduits and does not have any ownership interest in the CP conduits.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group’s commitments to CP conduits consist of obligations under liquidity and credit enhancement agreements. The liquidity agreements are asset-specific arrangements, which require the Group to purchase assets from the CP conduits in certain circumstances, such as if the CP conduits are unable to access the commercial paper markets. Credit enhancement agreements, which may be asset-specific or program-wide, require the Group to purchase certain assets under any condition, including default. In entering into such agreements, the Group reviews the credit risk associated with these transactions on the same basis that would apply to other extensions of credit.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients. These activities include the use of VIEs to structure various fund-linked products to provide clients with investment opportunities in alternative investments. In addition, the Group provides financing to client-sponsored VIEs, established to purchase or lease certain types of assets. For certain products, structured to provide clients with investment opportunities, a VIE holds underlying investments and issues securities that provide investors with a return based on the performance of those investments. The investors typically retain the risk of loss on such transaction, but the Group may provide principal protection on the securities to limit the investors’ exposure to downside risk. As a financial intermediary, the Group may administer or sponsor the VIE, transfer assets to the VIE, provide collateralized financing, act as a derivatives counterparty, advise on the transaction, act as investment adviser or investment manager, act as underwriter or placement agent or provide credit enhancement, liquidity or other support to the VIE. The Group also owns securities issued by the VIEs, structured to provide clients with investment opportunities, for market-making purposes and as investments.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Contractual obligations and other commercial commitments
|--------------------------------------------------------

|In connection with its operating activities, the Group enters into certain contractual obligations, as well as commitments to fund certain assets. Total obligations increased in 2006, primarily reflecting an increase in both Long-term debt and short-term obligations. Long-term debt increased to CHF 147.8 billion in 2006 from CHF 133.0 billion in 2005, mainly due to increases in senior debt issued in the United States. Short-term contractual obligations increased to CHF 641.5 billion in 2006 from CHF 601.0 billion in 2005, as a result of greater levels of Deposits due to rising interest rates in all regions and increases in Brokerage payables due to higher levels of business activity across the United States and Europe.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For further information on commitments see note 28 “Guarantees and commitments” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.

|The total accrued benefit liability for pension and other postretirement benefit plans recognized as of December 31, 2006, was CHF 1,778 million. This accrued liability is included in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. This amount is impacted by the application of SFAS No. 158, “Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R),” and, among other items, changes in plan demographics and assumptions, pension expense funding levels and investment return on plan assets. Because the accrued liability does not represent expected liquidity needs, we did not include this amount in the contractual obligations table above. For further information on pension and other postretirement benefits, see note 1 “Summary of significant accounting policies” and note 26 “Pension and other postretirement benefits” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.

|Derivatives
|-----------

|The Group enters into derivative contracts in the normal course of business for market-making, positioning and arbitrage purposes, as well as for its own risk management needs, including mitigation of interest rate, foreign currency and credit risk.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Derivatives are generally either privately negotiated OTC contracts or standard contracts transacted through regulated exchanges. The most frequently used freestanding derivative products include interest rate, cross-currency and credit default swaps, interest rate and foreign currency options, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign currency and interest rate futures.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The replacement values of derivative financial instruments correspond to the fair values at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and are those which arise from transactions for the account of customers and for the Group’s own account. Positive replacement values constitute a receivable. The fair value of a derivative is the amount for which that derivative could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value does not indicate future gains or losses, but rather the unrealized gains and losses from marking to market all derivatives at a particular point in time. The fair values of derivatives are determined using various methodologies including quoted market prices, where available, prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and maturities, net present value analysis or other pricing models, as appropriate.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The credit risk on derivative receivables is reduced by the use of legally enforceable netting agreements and collateral agreements. Netting agreements allow the Group to net the effect of derivative assets and liabilities when transacted with the same counterparty, when those netting agreements are legally enforceable and there is an intent to settle net with the counterparty. Replacement values are disclosed net of such agreements in the consolidated balance sheets. Collateral agreements are entered into with certain counterparties based upon the nature of the counterparty and/or the transaction and require the placement of cash or securities with the Group. Collateral received is only recognized in the consolidated balance sheet to the extent that the counterparty has defaulted in its obligation to the Group and is no longer entitled to have the collateral returned.

|Freestanding derivative instruments
|-----------------------------------

|A description of the key features of freestanding derivative instruments and the key objectives of holding or issuing these instruments is set out below.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Swaps
|-----

|The Group’s swap agreements consist primarily of interest rate, equity and credit default swaps. The Group enters into swap agreements for trading and risk management purposes. Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements to exchange interest rate payments based on agreed upon notional amounts and maturities. Equity swaps are contractual agreements to receive the appreciation or depreciation in value based on a specific strike price on an equity instrument in exchange for paying another rate, which is usually based on an index or interest rate movements. Credit default swaps are contractual agreements in which the buyer of the swap pays a periodic fee in return for a contingent payment by the seller of the swap following a credit event of a reference entity. A credit event is commonly defined as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, material adverse restructuring of debt or failure to meet payment obligations when due.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Options
|-------

|The Group writes option contracts specifically designed to meet the needs of customers and for trading purposes. These written options do not expose the Group to the credit risk of the customer because the Group, not its counterparty, is obligated to perform. At the beginning of the contract period, the Group receives a cash premium. During the contract period, the Group bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the value of the financial instruments underlying the options. To manage this market risk, the Group purchases or sells cash or derivative financial instruments on a proprietary basis. Such purchases and sales may include debt and equity securities, forward and futures contracts, swaps and options.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group also purchases options to meet customer needs, for trading purposes and for hedging purposes. For purchased options, the Group obtains the right to buy or sell the underlying instrument at a fixed price on or before a specified date. During the contract period, the Group’s risk is limited to the premium paid. The underlying instruments for these options typically include fixed income and equity securities, foreign currencies and interest rate instruments or indices. Counterparties to these option contracts are regularly reviewed in order to assess creditworthiness.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Forwards and futures
|--------------------

|The Group enters into forward purchase and sale contracts for mortgage-backed securities, foreign currencies and commitments to buy or sell commercial and residential mortgages. In addition, the Group enters into futures contracts on equity-based indices and other financial instruments, as well as options on futures contracts. These contracts are typically entered into to meet the needs of customers, for trading purposes and for hedging purposes.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Forward contracts expose the Group to the credit risk of the counterparty. To mitigate this credit risk, the Group limits transactions with specific counterparties, regularly reviews credit limits and adheres to internally established credit extension policies.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For futures contracts and options on futures contracts, the change in the market value is settled with a clearing broker in cash each day. As a result, the credit risk with the clearing broker is limited to the net positive change in the market value for a single day.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Risk management
|---------------

|The Group uses derivatives to meet its own risk management needs, including mitigation of interest rate, foreign currency and credit risk. A description of the Group’s hedging activities is set out below.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Economic hedges
|---------------

|Economic hedges arise when the Group enters into derivative contracts for its own risk management purposes, but the contracts entered into do not qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP. These economic hedges include credit derivatives to manage credit risk on certain of the Group’s loan portfolios and foreign exchange derivatives to manage foreign exchange risk on certain of its core banking business revenue and expense items. Additionally, the Group uses foreign exchange derivatives and interest rate derivatives to manage net interest rate risk on certain core banking business assets and liabilities. While the respective risks on the underlying assets have been hedged, an element of volatility is experienced in the accounting results because in many cases the expenses and revenue streams generated by the underlying assets are accounted for on an accruals basis, while the derivatives are accounted for at fair value.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Fair value hedges
|-----------------

|The Group’s interest rate risk management strategy incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. Interest rate sensitivity is managed by modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics of certain assets and liabilities so that movements in interest rates do not significantly affect net interest income. As a result of interest rate fluctuations, the fair value of hedged assets and liabilities will appreciate or depreciate.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, the Group uses cross-currency swaps to convert foreign currency denominated fixed rate assets or liabilities to floating rate functional currency assets or liabilities and foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with available-for-sale-securities.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Derivatives which are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with the carrying value of the underlying hedged items also adjusted to fair value for the risk being hedged. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in the same line item of the consolidated statement of income as the change in the fair value of the risk being hedged for the hedged assets or liabilities to the extent the hedge is effective. The change in the fair value representing hedge ineffectiveness is recorded separately in Trading revenues.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Cash flow hedges
|----------------

|Cash flow hedging strategies are used to mitigate exposure to the variability of cash flows. This is achieved by using interest rate swaps to convert variable rate assets or liabilities, such as loans, deposits and other debt obligations, to fixed rates. The Group also uses cross-currency swaps to convert foreign currency denominated fixed and floating rate assets or liabilities to fixed rate assets or liabilities based on the currency profile that the Group elects to be exposed to. This includes, but is not limited to, Swiss francs and US dollars.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Further, the Group uses derivatives to hedge its cash flows associated with forecasted transactions. For these hedges, the maximum length of time over which the Group hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows, excluding those forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments, is 22 months.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge is recorded in AOCI. These amounts are reclassified into earnings when the variable cash flow from the hedged item impacts earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a cash flow hedging derivative is recorded in Trading revenues.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net investment hedges
|---------------------

|The Group typically uses forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge selected net investments in foreign operations in order to protect against adverse movements in foreign exchange rates.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The change in the fair value of a derivative used as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation is recorded in AOCI, to the extent the hedge is effective. The change in the fair value representing hedge ineffectiveness is recorded in Trading revenues.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Over-the-counter derivatives
|----------------------------

|The Group’s positions in derivatives include both OTC and exchange-traded derivatives. OTC derivatives include forwards, swaps and options on foreign exchange, interest rates, equity securities and credit instruments.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The following table sets forth the distributions, by maturity, of the Group's exposure with respect to OTC derivative receivables:

|Liquidity and capital resources
|-------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group consolidated and the Bank legal entity
|----------------------------------------------------------

|Organization
|------------

|Credit Suisse Group finances its operations in a manner consistent with its business mix, capitalization and ratings and in line with its asset and liability and risk management policies. Liquidity and capital management is coordinated at the Group level through the Capital Allocation and Risk Management Committee (CARMC). CARMC has primary oversight responsibility for liquidity, capital and funding. This committee, which meets on a quarterly basis, includes the Chief Executive Officers of the Group and the Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management divisions; the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Chief Risk Officers (CROs) of the Group and the Bank, the Chief Operating Officer of the Bank and the Treasurer. CARMC reviews the capital situation, balance sheet development and current and prospective funding and defines and monitors adherence to internal Treasury risk limits and capital and liquidity targets. Implementation of CARMC’s decisions is monitored through monthly reports for the attention of the CROs, CFO, Treasurer and other senior management.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Funding sources and strategy
|----------------------------

|At the Credit Suisse Group consolidated level
|---------------------------------------------

|The Group’s funding requirements, including any supplementary capital needs, are based on regulatory requirements, liquidity requirements, rating agency criteria, economic capital optimization, taxation and other considerations. Sources of funding are diversified in liability type, currency, investor and geographic distribution. Given the depth of its private and retail banking businesses, the Group accesses core deposit funding from an international customer base that has proven to be a stable source of funds over time. This is augmented by the use of institutional market funding on both an unsecured and secured basis. Access by the Group to the institutional market is coordinated globally in an effort to ensure optimal distribution and placement of the Group’s securities.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|At the Credit Suisse Group legal entity level
|---------------------------------------------

|The Group is a holding company, and its primary cash requirements result from the payment of dividends to shareholders, the servicing of Group-issued debt, the purchase of the Group’s common shares and, from time to time, the acquisition of new businesses. Generally, the Group does not provide funding for its subsidiaries, as the Bank is the primary source of funding. The Group does provide capital and has issued, and may in the future issue, hybrid Tier 1 capital instruments through special purpose subsidiaries. Proceeds from these capital-related offerings are typically provided to one of the Group’s operating subsidiaries on a matched basis so that the Group has limited currency, interest rate or liquidity risk. Equity investments in subsidiaries are generally funded with equity capital. Double leverage, which compares the amount of equity at the holding company level to the amount of equity investment in subsidiaries, is actively managed and constitutes an integral part of the Group’s capital management strategy.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group expects to receive total dividends of approximately CHF 690 million for the 2006 financial year, compared with CHF 2,937 million for the 2005 financial year and CHF 2,778 million for the 2004 financial year.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|At the Annual General Meeting on April 29, 2005, the Group’s shareholders approved the launch of a share repurchase program of up to CHF 6 billion over a maximum period of two years. On March 16, 2007, the Group announced that it had repurchased CHF 6 billion of shares  and completed this share repurchase program. From time to time the Group also repurchases its own shares for the purpose of satisfying its obligations under its employee benefit plans. The Group intends to seek shareholder approval at its next Annual General Meeting in May 2007 to launch a new share repurchase program of up to CHF 8 billion. If approved by the shareholders, the program will commence after the Annual General Meeting and last for a maximum of three years. The shares would be repurchased through a second trading line on virt-x and cancelled.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In respect of the 2006 financial year, subject to shareholder approval, the Group will make a total distribution of CHF 2.70 per share, consisting of a dividend of CHF 2.24 and a CHF 0.46 par value reduction, or a total of approximately CHF 3,100 million. For the 2005 and 2004 financial years, the Group paid dividends of CHF 2,424 million and CHF 1,821 million, respectively.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As of December 31, 2006, the Group and its finance subsidiaries had borrowings of CHF 14.3 billion, an increase of CHF 0.8 billion compared to December 31, 2005. In January 2006, the Group, through one of its special purpose vehicles, issued EUR 1 billion of subordinated bonds due in 2018. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes outside of Switzerland.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In May 2006, the Group established a Euro medium-term note program, which allows it and its finance subsidiaries (guaranteed by the Group) to issue notes denominated in any currency up to EUR 10 billion. The Group expects to amend this program in the second quarter of 2007 to add the Bank as an issuer.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In June 2006, Credit Suisse Group Finance (Guernsey) Limited, a finance subsidiary of the Group, filed with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau a Yen 500 billion shelf registration statement that allows it to issue, from time to time, senior and subordinated debt securities, guaranteed by the Group.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The cost of servicing debt and preferred securities issued by the Group and its finance subsidiaries, after taking swap transactions into consideration, was CHF 735 million in 2006, CHF 725 million in 2005 and CHF 693 million in 2004.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group maintains a shelf registration statement with the SEC, which allows it to issue, from time to time, senior and subordinated debt securities, trust preferred securities and warrants to purchase equity, debt or other securities. The shelf registration statement also allows the Group to guarantee securities issued by a finance subsidiary. The Group expects to amend its shelf registration statement at the end of March 2007 to: (i) add the Bank as an issuer of non-convertible debt securities; (ii) reflect the issuance of a full and unconditional subordinated guarantee by the Group and a full and unconditional senior guarantee by the Bank of the outstanding debt securities issued by Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. (CS (USA)) off its SEC shelf registration statements; and (iii) add CS (USA) as an issuer for the purpose of market-making transactions in such CS (USA) registered debt securities. Following this amendment, CS (USA) will cease to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Factors that may affect liquidity and capital resources
|-------------------------------------------------------

|The subsidiaries of the Group are generally subject to legal restrictions on the amount of dividends they can pay. For example, Article 675, in conjunction with Article 671, of the Swiss Code of Obligations provides that the Bank may pay dividends only if and to the extent: (i) they have earned a profit during a given financial year or have previously established reserves for the payment of dividends; (ii) the required portion of their annual profit has been allocated to reserves as prescribed by law, the articles of association or a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders; and (iii) allocation and payment of the dividends has been approved at the general meeting of shareholders. The Group does not believe that legal or regulatory restrictions constitute a material limitation on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Group. The amount of dividends paid by operating subsidiaries is determined after consideration of the expectations for future results and growth of the operating businesses.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit ratings
|--------------

|The Group’s access to the debt capital markets and its borrowing costs depend significantly on its credit ratings. Rating agencies take many factors into consideration in determining a company’s rating and may raise, lower or withdraw their ratings, or publicly announce an intention to raise or lower their ratings, at any time. Such factors include earnings performance, business mix, market position, ownership, financial strategy, level of capital, risk management policies and practices, management team and the broader outlook for the financial services industry.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Capital resources and capital adequacy
|--------------------------------------

|The Group’s capital needs are a function of various factors, including economic, market and, on a consolidated basis, regulatory requirements. The economic capital requirement is defined as that amount of capital needed to remain solvent and in business even under extreme market, business and operational conditions, given the institution’s targeted financial strength (i.e., long-term credit rating). This is measured through the use of internally developed statistically based models designed to quantify potential risk exposure. The Group is also subject, on a consolidated basis, to regulatory capital requirements and the risk-based capital guidelines which are set forth in the Implementing Ordinance issued by the SFBC. The Group also adheres to the risk-based capital guidelines set forth by the BIS. These guidelines take into consideration the credit and market risk associated with balance sheet assets and certain off-balance sheet transactions. As of January 1, 2004, the Group based its capital adequacy calculations on financial reporting under US GAAP, which is in accordance with SFBC Newsletter 32 (dated December 18, 2003). The SFBC has advised the Group that it may continue to include as Tier 1 capital the equity from special purpose entities, which are deconsolidated under FIN 46(R), in the amount of CHF 2.2 billion and CHF 2.2 billion as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Basel Committee introduced significant changes to existing international capital adequacy standards known as Basel II. The Group expects the implementation of Basel II to create an additional 15% capital requirement at year-end 2007. The final capital impact will, however, depend, among other things, on the growth in risk-weighted assets and changes in the business mix during 2007. For further information on our risk-based capital guidelines, see Item 4 “Information on the company – Regulation and supervision.”

|From time to time, the SFBC and BIS propose amendments to, and issue interpretations of, risk-based capital guidelines and reporting regulations. Such proposals or interpretations could, if implemented in the future, affect our capital ratios and the measurement of our risk-weighted assets.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, various subsidiaries engaged in both banking and broker-dealer activities are regulated by the local regulators in the jurisdictions in which they operate.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Certain Group broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to capital adequacy requirements. As of December 31, 2006, the Group and its subsidiaries complied with all applicable regulatory capital adequacy requirements.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments
|-------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group has contractual obligations to make future payments under long-term bonds and mortgage-backed bonds, medium-term notes, long-term, non-cancelable lease agreements and other long-term obligations.

Liquidity is managed on both a consolidated and legal entity basis within the international organizational structure.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Bank’s Treasury department is responsible for the day-to-day management of capital, liquidity and funding, and relationships with creditor banks and fixed income investors. It also maintains regular contact with rating agencies and regulators on liquidity and capital issues.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Recent changes in the SFBC’s regulation of the Bank allow for a single funding book at the Bank to fund all branches and subsidiaries for capital and liquidity purposes.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Liquidity management
|--------------------

|The Bank manages liquidity so as to ensure that sufficient funds are either on-hand or readily available on short notice in the event that it experiences any impairment in its ability to borrow in the unsecured debt markets. In this way, the Bank seeks to ensure that, even in the event of a liquidity dislocation, it has sufficient funds to repay maturing liabilities and other obligations so that it is able to carry out its business plans with as little disruption as possible.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Bank has access to stable deposit-based core funds, the interbank markets and secured funding through the repurchase and securities lending markets. Historically, the Bank’s deposit base has proven extremely stable and is comprised of a diversified customer base, including retail and private bank deposits and wholesale and institutional deposits. In a stressed liquidity environment, the Bank could access the secured funding markets.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The majority of the Bank’s assets – principally trading inventories that support its institutional securities business – are highly liquid, consisting of securities inventories and collateralized receivables, which fluctuate depending on the levels of proprietary trading and customer business. Collateralized receivables consist primarily of securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities borrowed, both of which are primarily secured by government and agency securities, and marketable corporate debt and equity securities. In addition, the Bank has significant receivables from customers and broker-dealers, which turn over frequently. To meet client needs as a securities dealer, the Bank may carry significant levels of trading inventories.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As part of its Swiss domestic business, the Bank provides residential and commercial mortgages and secured and unsecured advances to a wide range of borrowers, including individuals, small and medium-sized corporate entities and utilities in Switzerland, Swiss public entities and local and regional governments. These assets are generally in the form of fixed customer-based term loans and loans callable on demand after a contractual notice period. These assets are well diversified by geography, customer type and instrument. Other assets include loans to corporate and other institutional clients, money market holdings and foreign exchange positions held directly in the Bank’s consolidated balance sheets.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Bank’s other assets include less-liquid assets such as certain mortgage whole loans, distressed securities, high-yield debt securities, asset-backed securities, and private equity and other long-term investments. These assets may be relatively illiquid at times, especially during periods of market stress.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The principal measure used to monitor the liquidity position of the Bank is the “liquidity barometer,” which estimates the time horizon over which the adjusted market value of unencumbered assets (including cash) exceeds the aggregate value of maturing unsecured liabilities plus a conservative forecast of anticipated contingent commitments. The Bank’s objective, as mandated by CARMC, is to ensure that the liquidity barometer is maintained at a sufficient level such that, in the event that the Bank is unable to access unsecured funding, it will have sufficient liquidity for an extended period. The liquidity barometer parameters reflect various liquidity assumptions which are reviewed periodically and, if needed, updated.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Bank’s objective is to ensure that the liquidity barometer equals or exceeds a time horizon of 120 days. The liquidity barometer reflects the relative stability of the unsecured funding base. Non-deposit liabilities are measured at their contractual maturities because historically, investors in publicly issued debt securities and commercial paper are highly sensitive to liquidity events, such that the Bank believes access to these markets would be quickly diminished. Conversely, the Bank’s retail and institutional deposit base is measured using contractual maturities which have been adjusted to reflect behavioral stability. Historically, this core deposit base has proven extremely stable, even in stressed markets. The conservative parameters the Bank uses in establishing the time horizon assumes that business franchise assets will not be sold to generate cash, no new unsecured debt can be issued and funds, which are assumed to be trapped because of regulatory restrictions, are not available to be distributed upstream in a stressed liquidity environment. Contingent commitments include such things as commitments to invest in private equity funds, letters of credit, credit rating-related collateralization requirements, backup liquidity lines provided to asset-backed CP conduits and committed credit facilities to clients that are currently undrawn. The adjusted market value of unencumbered assets includes a conservative reduction from market value, or “haircut,” reflecting the amount that could be realized by pledging an asset as collateral to a third-party lender in a secured funding transaction. The Bank regularly stress tests its liquidity resources using scenarios designed to represent highly adverse conditions.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Bank maintains two large secondary sources of liquidity. The first is via a large portfolio of liquid fixed income securities, which is segregated and managed to provide for emergency liquidity needs only. This liquidity portfolio is maintained at a level well beyond regulatory requirements and could provide a significant source of liquidity for an extended period in the event of stressed market conditions. In addition to these assets held directly in the Bank, the Bank maintains another large source of secondary liquidity through the Bank’s principal broker-dealers and other regulated entities. The Bank has historically been able to access significant liquidity through the secured funding markets (securities sold under agreements to repurchase, securities loaned and other collateralized financing arrangements), even in periods of market stress. The Bank continually monitors its overall liquidity by tracking the extent to which unencumbered marketable assets and alternative unsecured funding sources exceed both contractual obligations and anticipated contingent commitments.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Bank’s liquidity contingency plan focuses on the specific actions that would be taken in the event of a crisis, including a detailed communication plan for creditors, investors and customers. The plan, which is regularly updated, sets out a three-stage process of the specific actions that would be taken:
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Stage I – Market disruption or Group/Bank event
|-------------------------------------------------

|– Stage II – Unsecured markets partially inaccessible
|-----------------------------------------------------

|– Stage III – Unsecured funding totally inaccessible
|----------------------------------------------------

|
|

|In the event of a liquidity crisis, a meeting of the Liquidity Crisis Committee would be convened by Treasury to activate the contingency plan. The Liquidity Crisis Committee’s membership includes senior business line, funding and finance department management. This committee would meet frequently throughout the crisis to ensure that the plan is executed.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pursuant to the centralization of funding at the Bank, the secured bilateral committed credit arrangements between various third-party banks and Bank subsidiaries will not be renewed. As of December 31, 2006, the Bank maintained eight such credit facilities that collectively totaled USD 3.95 billion. These facilities require the relevant subsidiaries to pledge unencumbered marketable securities to secure any borrowings. Borrowings under each facility would bear interest at short-term rates related to either the Federal Funds rate, LIBOR or other money market indices and can be used for general corporate purposes. The facilities contain customary covenants that the Bank believes will not impair its ability to obtain funding.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Funding sources and strategy
|----------------------------

|Funding is centralized at the Bank. The Bank’s assets are principally funded with a mixture of unsecured and secured funding. Unsecured funding is primarily accessed through the Bank’s substantial retail and private bank deposit base, which is well diversified across customer categories, funding types and geography. The retail and private bank funding base is primarily comprised of time deposits and deposits callable on demand. While the contractual maturity of these deposits is typically under three months, they have historically shown remarkable stability, even under extreme market conditions. Additional unsecured funding is accessed via borrowings in the wholesale and institutional deposit markets. Secured funding consists of collateralized short-term borrowings, which include securities sold under agreements to repurchase and securities loaned. Additional funding is also sourced via short-term intercompany borrowings from other Group entities on both a secured and unsecured basis.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Secured funding consists of collateralized short-term borrowings, while unsecured funding principally includes long-term borrowings and, to a lesser extent, commercial paper. The Bank typically funds a significant portion of less-liquid assets, such as private equity investments, with long-term capital markets borrowings and shareholder’s equity. Unsecured liabilities are issued through various debt programs. Other significant funding sources include financial instruments sold not yet purchased, payables to customers and broker-dealers and shareholder’s equity.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Short-term funding is generally obtained at rates related to the Federal Funds rate, LIBOR or other money market indices, while long-term funding is generally obtained at fixed and floating rates related to US Treasury securities, LIBOR or other interest rate benchmarks, depending upon prevailing market conditions. The Bank continually aims to broaden its funding base by geography, investor and funding instrument.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Bank lends funds, as needed, to its operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, the latter typically to meet capital requirements in regulated subsidiaries. The Bank generally tries to ensure that loans to its operating subsidiaries and affiliates have maturities equal to or shorter in tenor than the maturities of its market borrowings. As such, senior funding to operating subsidiaries and affiliates is typically extended on a demand basis. Subordinated financing to regulated subsidiaries is extended on a term basis, and the Bank structures its long-term borrowings with maturities which extend beyond those of its subordinated advances to subsidiaries and affiliates.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, the Bank generally funds investments in subsidiaries with shareholder’s equity. To satisfy the Swiss and local regulatory capital needs of its regulated subsidiaries, the Bank enters into subordinated long-term borrowings. As of December 31, 2006, the Bank had consolidated long-term debt of CHF 144.0 billion, including CHF 16.7 billion of subordinated debt.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Funding activity highlights
|---------------------------

|Prior to the centralization of funding in the Bank, CS (USA) issued long-term debt. For the year ended December 31, 2006, CS (USA) issued: USD 1.0 billion of 5.375% and USD 500 million of 5.85% notes due 2016; USD 1.0 billion of floating rate notes due 2013; USD 750 million of 5.5%, USD 750 million of 5.25%, and USD 2.5 billion of floating rate notes due 2011; USD 5.75 billion of floating rate notes due 2009; and USD 750 million of floating rate notes due 2008 under an SEC shelf registration statement; MXN 900 million of 8.82% medium-term notes; and USD 194 million of structured notes. CS (USA) did not issue any medium-term notes in 2006 under its USD 5 billion Euromarket program established in July 2001.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|During the year ended December 31, 2006, CS (USA) repaid approximately USD 1.45 billion of medium-term notes, USD 2.25 billion of senior notes and USD 17 million of structured notes.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit ratings
|--------------

|Although retail and private bank deposits are generally less sensitive to changes in a bank’s credit ratings, the cost and availability of other sources of unsecured external funding is generally a function of credit ratings. Credit ratings are especially important to the Bank when competing in certain markets and when seeking to engage in longer-term transactions, including OTC derivatives.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A reduction in credit ratings could limit the Bank’s access to capital markets, increase its borrowing costs, require it to post additional collateral or allow counterparties to terminate transactions under certain of its trading and collateralized financing contracts. This, in turn, could reduce its liquidity and negatively impact its operating results and financial position. Its liquidity planning takes into consideration those contingent events associated with a reduction in its credit ratings.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Capital resources and capital adequacy
|--------------------------------------

|Certain of the Bank’s businesses are capital intensive. Capital is required to cover risks (economic and regulatory) on various asset classes, including, but not limited to, securities inventories, loans and other credit products, private equity investments and investments in fixed assets. The Bank’s overall capital needs are continually reviewed to ensure that its capital base can appropriately support the anticipated needs of its business and the regulatory capital requirements of its subsidiaries. Based on these analyses, the Bank believes that its capital base is adequate for current operating levels.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As a Swiss bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the SFBC. These regulations include risk-based capital guidelines set forth in the Implementing Ordinance. The Bank also adheres to the risk-based capital guidelines set forth by the BIS. The SFBC has advised the Group that the Bank may continue to include as Tier 1 capital CHF 6.2 billion of equity from special purpose entities which are deconsolidated under FIN 46(R).
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|At the Bank, the regulatory guidelines are used to measure capital adequacy. These guidelines take into consideration the credit and market risk associated with balance sheet assets as well as certain off-balance sheet transactions.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The average rates earned and paid on related assets and liabilities can fluctuate within wide ranges and are influenced by several key factors. The most significant factor is changes in global interest rates. Additional factors include changes in the geographic and product mix of the Group’s business and foreign exchange rate movements between the Swiss franc and the currency of the underlying individual assets and liabilities.

|The US Federal Reserve continued to increase short-term interest rates throughout the first half of 2006, raising the federal funds target rate by 25 basis points on four occasions, from 4.25% as of December 31, 2005, to 5.25% as of June 30, 2006, which then held constant until December 31, 2006. The yield curve continued to flatten throughout the first six months of 2006 and inverted in July, with long-term interest rates falling below short-term rates. This situation remained to the end of the year.

|Analysis of changes in net interest income
|------------------------------------------

|The following tables allocate, by categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in net interest income due to changes in volume and in rates for 2006 compared to 2005 and for 2005 compared to 2004. Volume and rate variances have been calculated in movements in average balances and changes in average rates.

|Cross-border outstandings
|-------------------------

|Cross-border outstandings represent net claims against non-local country counterparties. These include loans plus accrued interest, acceptances, interest earning deposits with other banks, other interest earning investments and any other monetary assets, including securities. To the extent material local currency outstandings are hedged or are funded by local currency borrowings, such amounts are not included as cross-border outstandings.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The following table represents cross-border outstandings as of the end of each of the last three years, stating the name of the country and the aggregate amount of cross-border outstandings to borrowers in each foreign country where such outstandings exceed 0.75% of total assets as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. Deducted from the gross outstandings are guaranteed or secured loans, provided the political and transfer risks are also covered explicitly by the guarantee or security.

|Legal proceedings
|-----------------

|The Group is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings (including those described below) concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. Some of these actions have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts. The Group believes, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but might be material to operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period. For further information on legal proceedings, see note 34 “Litigation and other contingencies” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” the Group recorded in 2005 a CHF 960 million (USD 750 million) charge before tax, CHF 624 million after tax, in Investment Banking, to increase the reserve for private litigation involving Enron, certain IPO allocation practices, research analyst independence and other related litigation. The charge was in addition to the reserve for these private litigation matters of CHF 702 million (USD 450 million) before tax, originally established in 2002, and brings the total reserve for these private litigation matters as of December 31, 2006, to CHF 1.2 billion (USD 1.0 billion) after deductions for settlements.

|South Africa litigation
|-----------------------

|Two purported class action lawsuits were filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), in June 2002 and August 2002, respectively, alleging that Credit Suisse Group and numerous other defendants are liable under international and US law by virtue of having conducted business in South Africa during the apartheid era prior to 1995. In one of these cases, the complaint has since been amended to delete the Group as a defendant. In addition, another case that is not a class action was filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) in November 2002 in respect of the same allegations. These cases (and similar cases against others) have been transferred to the SDNY for coordinated pre-trial proceedings. The Group has been served with process in the non-class action case, and joined in a motion to dismiss that case. Motions to dismiss these three cases were fully briefed and argued. Both the South African government and the US government filed papers supporting dismissal of the plaintiffs’ claims. In November 2004, the court granted the motions to dismiss. Plaintiffs in all three cases have appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Second Circuit). The appeal was argued in early 2006, and a decision from the Second Circuit is expected in 2007.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A related case that is not a class action was filed in the EDNY in March 2003 and names a number of corporate defendants, including Credit Suisse, which has been served. This case was transferred to the SDNY and has effectively been stayed pending resolution of matters in the cases discussed above.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Litigation relating to IPO allocation
|-------------------------------------

|Since January 2001, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (CSS LLC), one of its affiliates and several other investment banks have been named as defendants in a large number of putative class action complaints filed in the SDNY concerning IPO allocation practices. In April 2002, the plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints alleging various violations of the federal securities laws resulting from alleged material omissions and misstatements in registration statements and prospectuses for the IPOs and, in some cases, follow-on offerings, and with respect to transactions in the aftermarket for those offerings. The complaints contain allegations that the registration statements and prospectuses either omitted or misrepresented material information about commissions paid to investment banks and aftermarket transactions by certain customers that received allocations of shares in the IPOs. The complaints also allege that misleading analyst reports were issued to support the issuers’ allegedly manipulated stock price and that such reports failed to disclose the alleged allocation practices or that analysts were allegedly subject to conflicts of interest.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In October 2004, the SDNY granted in substantial part plaintiffs’ motion for class certification in each of six “focus” cases. The SDNY stated that the order “is intended to provide strong guidance, if not dispositive effect, to all parties when considering class certification in the remaining actions.” In June 2005, the Second Circuit granted the underwriter defendants permission to appeal the class certification order.  In June 2006, the Second Circuit heard oral argument on the underwriter defendants’ appeal.  In December 2006, the Second Circuit vacated the SDNY’s decision and ruled that the cases pending on the appeal “may not be certified as class actions.”  In January 2007, the plaintiffs in the six focus cases filed a petition for rehearing with the Second Circuit.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Separately, in February 2005, the SDNY preliminarily approved a settlement between plaintiffs and the issuer defendants and the issuers’ officers and directors.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Since March 2001, CSS LLC and several other investment banks have been named as defendants in a number of putative class actions filed with the SDNY, alleging violations of the federal and state antitrust laws in connection with alleged practices in allocation of shares in IPOs in which such investment banks were a lead or co-managing underwriter. The amended complaint in these lawsuits, which have now been consolidated into a single action, alleges that the underwriter defendants engaged in an illegal antitrust conspiracy to require customers, in exchange for IPO allocations, to pay non-competitively determined commissions on transactions in other securities, to purchase an issuer’s shares in follow-on offerings and to commit to purchase other less desirable securities. The complaint also alleges that the underwriter defendants conspired to require customers, in exchange for IPO allocations, to agree to make aftermarket purchases of the IPO securities at a price higher than the offering price, as a precondition to receiving an allocation. These alleged “tie-in” arrangements are further alleged to have artificially inflated the market price for the securities.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In November 2003, the SDNY dismissed the action with prejudice as to all defendants. In September 2005, the Second Circuit vacated the SDNY’s dismissal of the action and remanded the case to the SDNY for further proceedings. The underwriter defendants filed a motion in the Second Circuit to stay the issuance of the mandate remanding the cases to the SDNY pending the filing of a petition for writ of certiorari to the US Supreme Court, which was granted.  In March 2006, the underwriter defendants filed a petition for a writ of certiorari, and that petition was granted by the US Supreme Court in December 2006.

|Research-related litigation
|---------------------------

|Putative class action lawsuits were filed against CSS LLC in the wake of publicity surrounding the 2002 industry-wide governmental and regulatory investigations into research analyst practices. Currently, two federal class action cases are pending, one in the SDNY and one in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts. These cases were brought on behalf of purchasers of shares of Lantronix, Inc. and AOL Time Warner Inc., respectively.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Enron-related litigation and inquiries
|--------------------------------------

|Numerous actions have been filed against CSS LLC and certain affiliates relating to Enron Corp. or its affiliates (Enron). In April 2002, CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates and certain other investment banks were named as defendants along with, among others, Enron, Enron executives and directors and external law and accounting firms in a putative class action complaint filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Newby, et al. v. Enron, et al.). The Newby action was filed by purchasers of Enron securities and alleges violations of the federal securities laws. In May 2003, the lead plaintiff in Newby filed an amended complaint that, among other things, named as defendants additional Credit Suisse entities, expanded the putative class to include purchasers of certain Enron-related securities and alleged additional violations of the federal securities laws. In June 2006, the Credit Suisse entities filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the action, which is pending. That motion is now fully briefed. In July 2006, the court certified a class in the action. The Credit Suisse entities and other defendants have appealed this class certification decision to the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (Fifth Circuit), and oral argument was held in February 2007. In a decision on March 19, 2007, the Fifth Circuit reversed the class certification decision and remanded the matter back to the district court “for further proceedings as appropriate.” In light of this decision, the district court has stayed the trial of this matter while the plaintiffs consider further appellate options.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In April 2005, the bank defendants in the Newby action, including CSS LLC and its affiliates, filed a cross-claim against Arthur Andersen LLP and cross-claims or third-party claims against certain former Enron executives, for contribution in the event that the bank defendants are found liable on any of the plaintiffs’ claims.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Several remaining actions filed against CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates and other parties have been consolidated or coordinated with the Newby action. In four of those cases, plaintiffs have filed amended complaints, and CSS LLC and other defendants have moved, or will move, to dismiss. In one case, plaintiffs have moved for leave to file an amended complaint and that motion is fully briefed and pending. Several actions against Arthur Andersen LLP, in which Andersen brought claims for contribution against CSS LLC and its affiliates and other parties as third-party defendants, have been dismissed with prejudice, and plaintiffs in those cases are appealing the dismissals to the Fifth Circuit.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In December 2001, Enron filed a petition for Chapter 11 relief in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. In November 2003, a court-appointed bankruptcy examiner filed a final report that contained the examiner’s conclusions with respect to several parties, including CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates. Enron subsequently brought four adversary proceedings against CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates seeking to recoup money allegedly owed to the bankruptcy estate. All but one of those adversary proceedings have now been settled. The remaining adversary proceeding relates to equity forward and swap transactions.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates have received periodic requests for information and/or subpoenas from certain governmental and regulatory agencies, including the Enron Task Force (a joint task force of the US Department of Justice and the SEC), regarding Enron and its affiliates. CSS LLC and its affiliates have cooperated with such inquiries and requests.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|NCFE-related litigation
|-----------------------

|Since February 2003, lawsuits have been filed against CSS LLC with respect to services that it provided to National Century Financial Enterprises, Inc. and its affiliates (NCFE). From January 1996 to May 2002, CSS LLC acted as a placement agent for bonds issued by NCFE that were to be collateralized by health-care receivables and, in July 2002, as a placement agent for a sale of NCFE preferred stock. NCFE filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2002. In these lawsuits, which have since been consolidated in the US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio and are known as the MDL cases, investors in NCFE’s bonds and preferred stock have sued numerous defendants, including the founders and directors of NCFE, the trustees for the bond issuances, NCFE’s auditors and law firm, the rating agencies that rated NCFE’s bonds and NCFE’s placement agents, including CSS LLC. The allegations include claims for breach of contract, negligence, fraud and violation of federal and state securities laws. CSS LLC has filed motions to dismiss these cases.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, in November 2004, the trust created through NCFE’s confirmed bankruptcy plan commenced two actions against CSS LLC and certain affiliates. The trust filed an action in the US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio asserting common law claims similar to those asserted in the MDL cases against several of the same defendants and it also alleged statutory claims under the Ohio Corrupt Practices Act, claims for professional negligence and claims under the US Bankruptcy Code. CSS LLC and its affiliates have filed a motion to dismiss that action.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The trust also filed an action in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio objecting to the proofs of claim filed by CSS LLC and its affiliates in NCFE’s bankruptcy and seeking disgorgement of amounts previously distributed to CSS LLC and its affiliates under the bankruptcy plan. CSS LLC and its affiliates have answered that complaint.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A claims trust also commenced a suit in the bankruptcy court against certain affiliates of Credit Suisse seeking to recover an alleged preference payment from NCFE prior to its bankruptcy filing. A settlement was reached in this matter in August 2006.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Refco-related litigation
|------------------------

|In October 2005, CSS LLC was named, along with other financial services firms, accountants, officers, directors and controlling persons, as a defendant in several federal class action lawsuits filed in the SDNY relating to Refco Inc. The actions allege violations of the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws in connection with a Refco notes offering in 2004 and Refco’s IPO in August 2005.  The actions have been consolidated into the matter In re Refco, Inc. Securities Litigation. In July 2006, CSS LLC and certain other defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims related to the Refco notes offering in 2004.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates have received subpoenas and requests for information from certain regulators, including the SEC, regarding Refco. CSS LLC and its affiliates have cooperated with such inquiries and requests.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Parmalat-related legal proceedings
|----------------------------------

|Credit Suisse International is the subject of legal proceedings commenced in August 2004 before the Court of Parma in Italy by Dr. Enrico Bondi, as extraordinary administrator, on behalf of Parmalat SpA (in extraordinary administration), relating to an agreement entered into between Credit Suisse International and Parmalat SpA in December 2001. The extraordinary administrator seeks to have the agreement set aside and demands repayment by Credit Suisse International of approximately EUR 248 million.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The extraordinary administrator also commenced two further actions before the Court of Parma against: (i) Credit Suisse International and Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited (CSSEL), seeking damages on the basis of allegations that, through the December 2001 transaction, Credit Suisse International delayed the insolvency of Parmalat Participações of Brazil and consequently of Parmalat SpA, with the result that Parmalat’s overall loss increased by approximately EUR 7.1 billion between January 2002 and the declaration of its insolvency in December 2003; and (ii) Credit Suisse International and certain other banks, seeking damages on the basis of allegations that, through various derivatives transactions in 2003, Credit Suisse International and those other banks delayed the insolvency of Parmalat SpA with the result that its overall loss increased by approximately EUR 2 billion between July and December 2003. In addition, claims for unquantified damages have been filed in Italy against Credit Suisse entities on behalf of a number of individuals claiming to have suffered losses as a result of the actions of a Credit Suisse employee.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse International has made a claim in the reorganization proceedings of Parmalat Participações of Brazil in respect of EUR 500 million of bonds issued by that entity and held by Credit Suisse International. This claim has so far been rejected by the trustee. Credit Suisse International has also made a claim in the same proceedings in relation to a USD 5 million promissory note guaranteed by Parmalat and assigned to Credit Suisse International. This claim has so far been admitted by the trustee. Parmalat Participações has made a claim in response alleging that the debt represented by the bonds has already been paid and asserting that it is therefore entitled under Brazilian law to twice the amount of the debt claimed by Credit Suisse International.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In connection with two loans granted to Parmalat Participacoes of Brazil evidenced by promissory notes and guaranteed by Parmalat SpA, Credit Suisse has brought claims in the amount of USD 45 million in Brazilian and Italian courts for its recognition as a creditor in the insolvency proceedings of the two entities. A decision by the Brazilian courts is still pending. The claim has been refused by the Extraordinary Commissioner in Italy, and Credit Suisse has appealed to the Italian courts. A decision by the Italian courts is still pending.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Proceedings have been filed in the SDNY against Credit Suisse by Farmland Dairies and Parmalat-USA Corporation, US subsidiaries of Parmalat. The allegations against Credit Suisse make reference to the December 2001 transaction. In August 2006, the SDNY dismissed the complaint in the Farmland Dairies action, with leave to re-plead. In September 2006, both Farmland Dairies and Parmalat-USA Corporation filed amended complaints asserting claims against Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse International and CSSEL. The Credit Suisse entities have filed motions to dismiss in both actions.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Proceedings were also brought in the SDNY by Parmalat investors against various defendants, including Credit Suisse, seeking unquantified damages. The allegations against Credit Suisse make reference to the December 2001 transaction. The claims against Credit Suisse were subsequently dismissed except to the extent that they were brought by US investors. The complaint was then amended to assert claims against the Group, Credit Suisse International and CSSEL. The Credit Suisse entities have entered into a memorandum of understanding which, subject to final documentation, will settle the case.

|Dividend policy
|---------------

|Under Swiss law, dividends may be paid out only if and to the extent the corporation has distributable profits from previous business years, or if the free reserves of the corporation are sufficient to allow distribution of a dividend. Within these legal constraints, we maintain a flexible dividend policy.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For 2006, Credit Suisse Group’s Board of Directors will propose a distribution of CHF 2.70 per share to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on May 4, 2007. The proposed distribution consists of a dividend of CHF 2.24, to be paid out on May 10, 2007, and a par value reduction of CHF 0.46, to be paid out on July 18, 2007. Both distributions are subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Trading in our own shares
|-------------------------

|The Group buys and sells its own shares and derivatives on its own shares within its normal trading and market-making activities mainly through its Swiss broker-dealer operations. In the Swiss market, the Group buys and sells its shares and derivatives on these shares to facilitate customer orders, to provide liquidity as a market maker and to hedge derivative instruments.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The net long or short position held by the Group’s Swiss bank subsidiaries in the Group’s own shares has been at non-material levels relative to the number of the Group’s outstanding shares, due in part to SFBC regulations requiring a 100% capital charge to the relevant legal entity for the entire net position in the Group’s shares. In addition to SFBC rules, the Group’s trading in its own shares in the Swiss market is subject to regulation under the Stock Exchange Act, the rules of the SWX and the EUREX electronic exchange, and the SBA Code of Conduct for Securities Dealers. Trading is also limited by the Group’s risk management limits, internal capital allocation rules, balance sheet requirements, counterparty restrictions and other internal regulations and guidelines. Swiss law further limits the Group’s ability to hold or repurchase its own shares. For further information on trading in the Group’s shares, see Item 10 “Additional information – Repurchase of shares.”

|The Group may from time to time place orders for its own shares to satisfy obligations under various employee and management incentive share plans, and potentially for shares to be used as payment in acquisitions. In addition, the Group may purchase shares with the intent of cancellation. Typically in Switzerland, the purchase of shares for cancellation is done under a separate program from the repurchase of shares to be re-issued under employee and management incentive share plans.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Following the approval by the Annual General Meeting 2005, the Group commenced a share repurchase program for a value of up to CHF 6 billion for a maximum of two years. This share repurchase program was completed as of March 16, 2007, with a repurchase of 87,789,000 shares with a value of CHF 6 billion. Subject to approval of the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting 2007, the Group’s Board of Directors will launch a share repurchase program for a value of up to CHF 8 billion. If approved, the program will commence after the Annual General Meeting 2007 and will last for a maximum of three years. The registered shares are repurchased via a second trading line on virt-x and then cancelled.

|Articles of association
|-----------------------

|For a summary of the material provisions of the Group’s Articles of Association (AoA) and the Swiss Code of Obligations (Schweizerisches Obligationenrecht) as they relate to the Group’s shares, see the summaries contained in the sections “Corporate governance – Shareholders and – Changes of control and defense measures” on pages 88 and 128, respectively, in the Credit Suisse Group Annual Report 2006. That description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Swiss Code of Obligations and to the AoA, copies of which are available at the Group’s main office, Paradeplatz 8, P.O. Box 1, CH 8070 Zurich, Switzerland, or on the Group’s website www.credit-suisse.com.

|Registration and business purpose
|---------------------------------

|The Group is registered as a Swiss corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) in the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zurich under the registration number CH-020.3.906.075-9 and has its registered offices in Zurich, Switzerland. The Group’s business purpose, as set forth in Article 2 of its AoA, is to hold direct or indirect interests in all types of businesses in Switzerland and abroad, in particular in the areas of banking, finance, asset management and insurance. The Group has the power to establish new businesses, acquire a majority or minority interest in existing businesses and provide related financing. The Group also has the power to acquire, mortgage and sell real estate properties both in Switzerland and abroad.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Directors
|---------

|The Swiss Code of Obligations requires directors and members of senior management to safeguard the interests of the corporation and, in connection with this requirement, imposes a duty of care and a duty of loyalty on directors and members of senior management. While Swiss law does not have a general provision on conflicts of interest, the duties of care and loyalty are generally understood to disqualify directors and members of senior management from participating in decisions that could directly affect them. Directors and members of senior management are personally liable to the corporation for any breach of these provisions. In addition, Swiss law contains a provision pursuant to which payments made to a shareholder or a director or any person associated with them (for example, family members, business partners, agents or financing providers), other than at arms’ length, must be repaid to the corporation if the shareholder or director was acting in bad faith. The Group’s AoA provides that the Board of Directors determines the yearly remuneration of the directors. Such remuneration is determined by the Group’s Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Group’s Board of Directors.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group’s AoA provides that the Board of Directors shall consist of a minimum of seven members. The members of the Group’s Board of Directors are elected for a period of three years and are eligible for re-election, without any term limitations. According to the Organizational Guidelines and Regulations (OGR), the age limit for members of the Board of Directors is 70.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Neither Swiss law nor the AoA restricts in any way the Group’s power to borrow and raise funds. The decision to borrow funds is passed by or under the direction of the Group’s Board of Directors, with no shareholders’ resolution required.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Dividends
|---------

|Under Swiss law, dividends may be paid out only if and to the extent the corporation has distributable profits from previous business years, or if the free reserves of the corporation are sufficient to allow distribution of a dividend. In addition, at least 5% of the annual net profits must be retained and booked as general legal reserves for so long as these reserves amount to less than 20% of the paid-in share capital. The Group’s reserves currently exceed this 20% threshold. Furthermore, dividends may be paid out only after approval at the shareholders’ meeting. The Board of Directors may propose that a dividend be paid out, but cannot itself set the dividend. The auditors must confirm that the dividend proposal of the Board of Directors conforms to statutory law. In practice, the shareholders usually approve the dividend proposal of the Board of Directors. Dividends are usually due and payable after the shareholders’ resolution relating to the allocation of profits has been passed. Under Swiss law, the statute of limitations in respect of dividend payments is five years.

|Pre-emptive subscription rights
|-------------------------------

|Under Swiss law, any share issue, whether for cash or non-cash consideration or no consideration, is subject to the prior approval of the shareholders’ meeting. Shareholders of a Swiss corporation have certain pre-emptive subscription rights to subscribe for new issues of shares in proportion to the nominal amount of shares held. A resolution adopted at a shareholders’ meeting with a supermajority may, however, limit or suspend preferential subscription rights in certain limited circumstances.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Repurchase of shares
|--------------------

|Swiss law limits a corporation’s ability to hold or repurchase its own shares. The Group may only repurchase shares if it has sufficient free reserves to pay the purchase price, and if the aggregate nominal value of the repurchased shares does not exceed 10% of the Group’s nominal share capital. Furthermore, the Group must create a special reserve in its consolidated balance sheets in the amount of the purchase price of the acquired shares. Shares repurchased by the Group do not carry any voting rights at shareholders’ meetings. For further information on shares repurchased, see Item 16E “Purchases of equity securities by the issuer and affiliated purchasers for a description of the Group’s recent share repurchases.”

|-------

|Notices to shareholders are made by publication in the Swiss Official Commercial Gazette (Schweizerisches Handelsamtsblatt). The Board of Directors may designate further means of communication for publishing notices to shareholders. Notices required under the listing rules of the SWX will either be published in two Swiss newspapers in German and French and sent to the SWX or otherwise be communicated to the SWX in accordance with applicable listing rules. The SWX may disseminate the relevant information on its online exchange information system “Newsboard.”
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Liquidation
|-----------

|Under Swiss law and the Group’s AoA, the Group may be dissolved at any time by a shareholders’ resolution which must be passed by: (i) a supermajority of at least three quarters of the votes cast at the meeting in the event the Group is to be dissolved by way of liquidation; or (ii) a supermajority of at least two-thirds of the votes represented and an absolute majority of the par value of the shares represented at the meeting in other events. Dissolution by court order is possible if the Group becomes bankrupt. Under Swiss law, any surplus arising out of liquidation (after the settlement of all claims of all creditors) is distributed to shareholders in proportion to the paid-up par value of shares held.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Disclosure of principal shareholders
|------------------------------------

|Under the applicable provisions of the Stock Exchange Act, persons acting individually or in concert who acquire or dispose of shares and thereby reach, exceed or fall below the respective thresholds of 5%, 10%, 20%, 33 1/3%, 50% or 66 2/3% of the total voting rights of a Swiss listed corporation must notify the corporation and the SWX of such transactions, whether or not the voting rights can be exercised. Following receipt of such notification, the corporation has the obligation to inform the public. In addition, pursuant to the Swiss Code of Obligations, the Group must disclose in the notes to its annual consolidated financial statements the identity of any shareholders who own in excess of 5% of the Group’s shares.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Exchange controls
|-----------------

|There are no restrictions presently in force under the Group’s AoA or Swiss law that limit the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold the Group’s securities freely or, when entitled, to vote its securities freely. The Swiss federal government may from time to time impose sanctions, including exchange control restrictions, on particular countries, regimes, organizations or persons.  These sanctions include those imposed on persons or organizations with links to Osama bin Laden, the “al Qaeda” group or the Taliban, to Iraq, Liberia, Myanmar, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uzbekistan, Belarus and North Korea and to certain persons linked to the murderer of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. A current list, in German, of such sanctions can be found at www.seco-admin.ch. Other than these sanctions, there are currently no Swiss exchange control laws or laws restricting the import or export of capital, including, but not limited to, the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Group’s securities.

|Indemnification
|---------------

|Neither the Group’s AoA nor Swiss statutory law contains provisions regarding the indemnification of directors and officers. According to general principles of Swiss employment law, an employer may, under certain circumstances, be required to indemnify an employee against losses and expenses incurred by such person in the execution of such person’s duties under an employment agreement, unless the losses and expenses arise from the employee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. It is the Group’s policy to indemnify its current or former directors and/or employees against certain losses and expenses in respect of service as a director or employee of the Group, one of the Group’s affiliates or another entity, which the Group has approved, subject to specific conditions or exclusions. The Group maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance for its directors and officers.

|American Depositary Shares (ADSs)
|---------------------------------

|Under Swiss law, holders of ADSs are not shareholders and are not recorded in the Group’s share register. A nominee for the ADS depositary is the registered holder of the shares underlying the ADSs. Rights of ADS holders to exercise voting rights, receive dividends and other matters are governed by the deposit agreement pursuant to which the ADSs are issued. For further information relating to our ADSs, see the Registration Statement on Form F-6 filed with the SEC. Subject to any applicable law to the contrary, with respect to ADSs for which timely voting instructions are not received by the ADS depositary in relation to any proposed resolution or for which voting instructions are received by the ADS depositary but do not specify how the ADS depositary shall vote in relation to any proposed resolution, the ADS depositary shall, or shall instruct the nominee to, vote such shares underlying the ADSs in favor of such resolution if it has been proposed by the Board of Directors or otherwise in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors.

|Material contract
|-----------------

|On June 13, 2006, the Group entered into a share purchase agreement for the sale of Winterthur, its insurance subsidiary, to AXA S.A. for a cash payment of CHF 12.3 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, AXA S.A acquired 100% of Winterthur. The transaction, which was subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions, closed on December 22, 2006. A non-compete clause will remain in effect between the parties for two years from the closing date. The Group did not provide any indemnification in respect of Winterthur’s insurance reserves in the agreement. A copy of the share purchase agreement is filed as an exhibit.

|Taxation
|--------

|The following summary contains a description of the principal Swiss and US federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our shares or ADSs, which we refer to collectively in this section as Shares, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to own or dispose of Shares. In particular, the summary is directed only to holders that hold Shares as capital assets, and does not address tax considerations applicable to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks, tax-exempt entities, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our voting stock, persons that hold Shares as a position in a “straddle” or “conversion” transaction, or as part of a “synthetic security” or other integrated financial transaction, or persons that have a “functional currency” other than CHF or USD.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|This summary is based on the current tax laws of Switzerland and the United States, including the current Convention Between the United States and the Swiss Confederation for the Avoidance of Double Taxation with Respect to Taxes on Income  (Treaty), the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code), existing and proposed regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|This discussion does not generally address any aspects of US taxation other than federal income taxation or any aspects of Swiss taxation other than income and capital taxation. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the US federal, state and local, Swiss and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of Shares.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Swiss taxation
|--------------

|Withholding tax on dividends and similar distributions
|------------------------------------------------------

|Dividends paid and other similar cash, in-kind taxable distributions made by us to a holder of Shares (including dividends on liquidation proceeds and stock dividends) and taxable income resulting from partial liquidation as referred to below under Capital gains tax realized on shares are subject to a federal withholding tax at a rate of 35%. The withholding tax will be withheld by us on the gross distributions and will be paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Swiss resident recipients
|-------------------------

|Swiss resident individuals or legal entities are generally entitled to a full refund or tax credit for the withholding tax if they are the beneficial owners of such distributions at the time the distribution is due and duly report the receipt thereof in the relevant income tax return.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Non-resident recipients
|-----------------------

|The recipient of a taxable distribution who is an individual or a legal entity not resident in Switzerland for tax purposes may be entitled to a total or partial refund of the withholding tax if the country in which such recipient resides for tax purposes has entered into a bilateral treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with Switzerland and the further conditions of such treaty are met. Holders of Shares not resident in Switzerland should be aware that the procedures for claiming treaty benefits (and the time frame required for obtaining a refund) may differ from country to country. Holders of Shares not resident in Switzerland should consult their own legal, financial or tax advisors regarding receipt, ownership, purchases, sales or other dispositions of Shares and the procedures for claiming a refund of the withholding tax.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Residents of the United States
|------------------------------

|A non-Swiss resident holder who is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Treaty is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax on dividends equal to 15% of the dividend, provided that such holder: (i) qualifies for benefits under the Treaty; (ii) holds, directly or indirectly, less than 10% of our voting stock; and (iii) does not conduct business through a permanent establishment or fixed base in Switzerland to which Shares are attributable. Such an eligible US holder may apply for a refund of the amount of the withholding tax in excess of the 15% Treaty rate. The claim for refund must be filed on Swiss Tax Form 82 (82C for corporations; 82I for individuals; 82E for other entities), which may be obtained from any Swiss consulate general in the United States or from the Federal Tax Administration of Switzerland at the address below, together with an instruction form. Four copies of the form must be duly completed, signed before a notary public of the United States, and sent to the Federal Tax Administration of Switzerland, Eigerstrasse 65, CH-3003, Berne, Switzerland. The form must be accompanied by suitable evidence of deduction of Swiss tax withheld at source, such as certificates of deduction, signed bank vouchers or credit slips. The form may be filed on or after July 1 or January 1 following the date the dividend was payable, but no later than December 31 of the third year following the calendar year in which the dividend became payable.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Income and profit tax on dividends and similar distributions
|------------------------------------------------------------

|Individuals
|-----------

|An individual who is a Swiss resident for tax purposes, or who is a non-Swiss resident holding Shares as part of a Swiss business operation or Swiss permanent establishment, is required to report the receipt of taxable distributions received on the Shares in her or his relevant Swiss tax returns.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Legal entities
|--------------

|Legal entities resident in Switzerland and non-Swiss resident legal entities holding Shares as part of a Swiss establishment are required to include taxable distributions received on the Shares in their income subject to Swiss corporate income taxes. A Swiss corporation or co-operative or a non-Swiss corporation or co-operative holding Shares as part of a Swiss permanent establishment may, under certain circumstances, benefit from relief from taxation with respect to dividends (Beteiligungsabzug).
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Non-resident recipients
|-----------------------

|Recipients of dividends and similar distributions on Shares who are neither residents of Switzerland for tax purposes nor holders of Shares as part of a Swiss business operation or a Swiss permanent establishment are not subject to Swiss income taxes in respect of such distributions.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Capital gains tax realized on shares
|------------------------------------

|Individuals
|-----------

|Swiss resident individuals who hold Shares as part of their private property generally are exempt from Swiss federal, cantonal and communal taxes with respect to capital gains realized upon the sale or other disposal of Shares, unless such individuals are qualified as security trading professionals for income tax purposes. Gains realized upon a repurchase of Shares by us for the purpose of a capital reduction are characterized as a partial liquidation of the company. In this case, the difference between the nominal value of the shares and their repurchase price may qualify as taxable income. The same would be true for gains realized upon a repurchase of Shares if we were not to dispose of the repurchased Shares within six years after the repurchase, or if such Shares were repurchased in connection with a capital reduction, or if 10% of outstanding Shares were exceeded. Taxable income would be the difference between the repurchase price and the nominal value of the Shares. Individuals who are Swiss residents for tax purposes and who hold the Shares as business assets, or who are non-Swiss residents holding Shares as part of a Swiss business operation or Swiss permanent establishment, are required to include capital gains realized upon the disposal of Shares in their income subject to Swiss income tax.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Legal entities
|--------------

|Legal entities resident in Switzerland or non-Swiss resident legal entities holding Shares as part of a Swiss permanent establishment are required to include capital gains realized upon the disposal of Shares in their income subject to Swiss corporate income tax.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Non-resident individuals and legal entities
|-------------------------------------------

|Individuals and legal entities which are not resident in Switzerland for tax purposes and do not hold Shares as part of a Swiss business operation or a Swiss permanent establishment are not subject to Swiss income taxes on gains realized upon the disposal of the Shares.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net worth and capital taxes
|---------------------------

|Individuals
|-----------

|Individuals who are Swiss residents for tax purposes, or who are non-Swiss residents holding Shares as part of a Swiss business operation or Swiss permanent establishment, are required to include their Shares in their assets that are subject to cantonal and communal net worth taxes.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Legal entities
|--------------

|Legal entities resident in Switzerland or non-Swiss resident legal entities holding Shares as part of a Swiss permanent establishment are required to include their Shares in their assets that are subject to cantonal and communal capital tax.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Non-resident individuals and legal entities
|-------------------------------------------

|Individuals and legal entities, which are not resident in Switzerland for tax purposes and do not hold Shares as part of a Swiss business operation or a Swiss permanent establishment are not subject to Swiss cantonal and communal net worth and capital taxes.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Stamp duties upon transfer of securities
|----------------------------------------

|The transfer of Shares, whether by Swiss residents or non-resident holders, may be subject to a Swiss securities transfer duty of 0.15% (0.075% for each party to a transaction) of the transaction value if the transfer occurs through or with a Swiss bank or other Swiss or foreign securities dealer as defined in the Swiss Federal Stamp Duty Act. The stamp duty is paid by the securities dealer and may be charged to the parties in a taxable transaction who are not securities dealers. In addition to this stamp duty, the sale of Shares by or through a member of the SWX/virt-x may be subject to a minor SWX/virt-x levy on the sale proceeds (this levy also includes the SFBC surcharge).
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|US federal income tax
|---------------------

|For purposes of this discussion, a “US Holder” is any beneficial owner of Shares that is: (i) a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or (iii) any other person that is subject to US federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of Shares. A “Non-US Holder” is any beneficial owner of Shares that is a foreign corporation or non-resident alien individual.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Taxation of dividends
|---------------------

|US Holders
|----------

|For US federal income tax purposes a US Holder will be required to include the full amount (before reduction for Swiss withholding tax) of a dividend paid with respect to Shares, generally as ordinary income. Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the US dollar amount of dividends received by an individual prior to January 1, 2011, with respect to our Shares will be subject to taxation at a maximum rate of 15% if the dividends are “qualified dividends.” Dividends paid on the Shares will be treated as qualified dividends if we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company (PFIC). Based on our audited consolidated financial statements and relevant market and shareholder data, we believe that we were not treated as a PFIC for US federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2005 or 2006 taxable years. In addition, based on our audited consolidated financial statements and our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income and relevant market and shareholder data, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 2007 taxable year. Holders of our Shares should consult their own tax advisers regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in light of the considerations discussed above and their own particular circumstances. For this purpose, a “dividend” will include any distribution paid by us with respect to Shares, but only to the extent such distribution is not in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as defined for US federal income tax purposes. Such dividend will constitute income from sources outside of the United States. Subject to the limitations and conditions provided in the Code, a US Holder may deduct from its US federal taxable income, or claim as a credit against its US federal income tax liability, the Swiss withholding tax withheld. Under the Code, dividend payments by us on Shares are not eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporate shareholders. Any distribution that exceeds our earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the US Holder’s tax basis in Shares and thereafter as capital gain.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In general, a US Holder will be required to determine the amount of any dividend paid in CHF by translating the CHF into USD at the “spot rate” of exchange on the date of receipt. The tax basis of CHF received by the US Holder generally will equal the USD equivalent of such CHF, translated at the spot rate of exchange on the date such CHF dividends are received. Upon a subsequent exchange of such CHF for USD, or upon the use of such CHF to purchase property, a US Holder will generally recognize ordinary income or loss in the amount equal to the difference between such US Holder’s tax basis for the CHF and the USD received or, if property is received, the fair market value of the property. In addition, a US Holder may be required to recognize domestic-source foreign currency gain or loss on the receipt of a refund in respect of Swiss withholding tax to the extent the USD value of the refund differs from the USD equivalent of the amount on the date of receipt of the underlying dividend.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Non-US Holders
|--------------

|Dividends paid to a Non-US Holder in respect of Shares will generally not be subject to US federal income tax unless such dividends are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by such Non-US Holder.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Capital gains tax upon disposal of shares
|-----------------------------------------

|US Holders
|----------

|Gain or loss realized by a US Holder on the sale or other disposition of Shares will be subject to US federal income taxation as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the US Holder’s basis in Shares and the amount realized on the disposition. Such gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the US Holder holds Shares for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a US Holder that is an individual generally is subject to reduced rates.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Non-US Holders
|--------------

|A Non-US Holder will generally not be subject to US federal income tax in respect of gains realized on a sale or other disposition of Shares unless the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-US Holder in the United States.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements
|-------------------------------------------------------------

|Dividends paid on, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, Shares paid to a US Holder generally may be subject to the information reporting requirements of the Code and may be subject to backup withholding unless the holder: (i) establishes that it is a corporation or other exempt holder; or (ii) provides an accurate taxpayer identification number on a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a holder will be allowed as a credit against the US Holder’s US federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A Non-US Holder may be required to comply with certification and identification procedures in order to establish its exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

|Message from the Chairman

|
|

|Walter B. Kielholz
|------------------

|Chairman of the Board of Directors
|----------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group
|-------------------

|Dear shareholders, clients and colleagues
|-----------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse celebrated its long history of banking expertise and innovation in 2006 in the context of its 150th anniversary, while building a solid platform for its future growth. It is particularly satisfying to note that 2006 was also the year in which we reported our best ever financial result, confirming the success of our efforts to realign the business over the last three years.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our 150 years of banking experience have provided us with a strong foundation that allows us to constantly look ahead and anticipate the needs of our clients in a rapidly changing environment. It was this experience that enabled us to quickly adapt to the impact of globalization on our industry and to devise an appropriate response in the form of our integrated global banking model that mirrors the increasingly integrated global marketplace in which we operate. As a result, we began repositioning our business and – as one of the most highly integrated banks worldwide – now have the necessary structure, flexibility and resources to satisfy our clients’ demands for holistic solutions and global execution capabilities.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our efforts to create an integrated global bank in 2006 included the sale of our insurance business, Winterthur, to AXA S.A. for cash consideration of CHF 12.3 billion. This key strategic step provided us with the best opportunity to deliver the full value of Winterthur to our shareholders in a single transaction, while providing an opportunity for the future growth of the business within a leading global insurance company. The creation of an integrated bank and the sale of Winterthur mean that we now have a very clear strategic focus and can concentrate our capital and resources on our banking business and the global expansion of Credit Suisse.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We already have a leading presence in Europe and North America, as well as in rapidly developing emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, China, Russia and the Middle East. Going forward, we will continue to leverage our position in our existing markets and will target new high-growth regions throughout the world.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our integrated banking model not only provides us with a platform for growth, it also enables us to generate significant operating efficiencies, increase the scale of our business and generate the necessary cash flow and capital to fund our ambitious growth plans.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The strongest capital base in our history
|-----------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse today has the strongest capital base in its history. At the Annual General Meeting on May 4, 2007, the Board of Directors will propose a further share buyback program of up to CHF 8 billion over three years. It will also propose a distribution of CHF 2.70 per share for the financial year 2006, comprising a dividend of CHF 2.24 per share and a par value reduction of CHF 0.46 per share, the latter of which returns capital from the sale of Winterthur to our shareholders. This compares to a dividend of CHF 2.00 per share for the financial year 2005.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, the sale of Winterthur has provided us with   additional capital to invest in the growth of our business.   Of the total capital from the Winterthur sale, the majority – CHF 7.5 billion   – will be invested in the organic growth of the business as well as in small and medium-sized acquisitions, joint ventures and partnerships. Our plans for organic growth include investments in our highly promising alternative investments, commercial mortgage-backed securities and leveraged finance businesses, as well as in the expansion of our lending activities and our mortgage business for private banking clients.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We have set aside CHF 3.5 billion for targeted acquisitions of small and medium-sized institutions such as the Brazilian asset manager and private bank Hedging-Griffo, which we signed an agreement to purchase in the fourth quarter of 2006. HedgingGriffo will complement our already strong Investment and Private Banking operations in Brazil and enable us to offer asset and wealth management services and products to onshore clients, thus leveraging our integrated banking model in this market.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Strong leadership for sustained success
|---------------------------------------

|The future of every company is charted by its leaders. Having successfully positioned Credit Suisse for future growth, the Board of Directors had to reach an important decision regarding the bank’s future leadership in 2006. After more than 38 years with the company, Oswald J. Grübel informed the Board last year of his intention to retire from his position as Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse Group. He and his management team have worked relentlessly over the last three years to create a new organization and the integrated business model which leverages the expertise of the entire bank, combining its clear client focus with its truly global reach. Oswald J. Grübel has made an enormous contribution to the success of Credit Suisse, for which the Board of Directors owes him considerable thanks.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We are very fortunate that we were able to appoint a highly qualified and experienced successor to Oswald J. Grübel from within our management team. Brady W. Dougan, who has been with Credit Suisse for 17 years, will assume the position of CEO of Credit Suisse Group on May 5, 2007. He is currently the head of our Investment Banking business, which delivered a particularly pleasing performance in 2006 following its realignment under his expert guidance. As a member of the Executive Board, Brady W. Dougan was also instrumental in designing our integrated banking model. Together with his colleagues in Credit Suisse’s senior management team, he will continue to build on the strengths of our powerful organization and integrated banking model in the future.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|I personally look forward to working together with Brady Dougan and his management team.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Today, the global economy offers outstanding growth opportunities for internationally active financial institutions such as Credit Suisse. We believe that we have the right organizational structure and business model to capture this potential. At the same time, we are convinced that the systematic execution of our strategy will pave the way for sustained earnings growth in 2007 and beyond. 2006 was a vitally important year for Credit Suisse. We are confident that as we enter into our next growth phase, we will have the necessary financial strength, human capital and expert leadership to deliver results against our ambitious targets.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Message from the Chief Executive Officer
|----------------------------------------

|
|

|Oswald J. Grübel
|----------------

|Chief Executive Officer
|-----------------------

|Credit Suisse Group
|-------------------

|Dear shareholders, clients and colleagues
|-----------------------------------------

|2006 was a record year for Credit Suisse. Our new integrated banking model proved successful and provided us with an effective platform to capture the growth opportunities arising from high levels of client activity while significantly improving our profitability. Thanks to strong revenue generation and enhanced operating efficiency, we posted the best ever result in the history of the bank. Net income totaled CHF 11.3 billion, including a net capital gain of CHF 1.8 billion from the sale of Winterthur, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006. Basic earnings per share were CHF 10.30. Income from continuing operations was CHF 8.3 billion or CHF 7.53 per share. Our return on equity improved significantly to 27.5% in 2006 from 15.4% in 2005. We also generated net new assets of CHF 95.4 billion in 2006, compared to CHF 57.4 billion in 2005, reflecting our strength in asset gathering and our positioning as a trusted partner to private clients, companies and institutions worldwide.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|This outstanding performance is the result of our efforts to realign Credit Suisse and position it for success in a rapidly changing environment. If we consider the developments at Credit Suisse over the past five years, the extent of our achievement becomes clear. At the time, Credit Suisse – like the rest of the industry – faced major challenges in an environment characterized by global economic uncertainty and weak financial markets. Our financial performance was severely impacted as a result. Our subsequent efforts to return the bank to profitability centered on strengthening our core businesses, reducing costs and maintaining our leadership in key markets. By 2003, we had successfully achieved the turnaround and demonstrated the fundamental strength of our business. 2004 was a milestone year for Credit Suisse as we announced our plans for integration and our decision to focus exclusively on banking. We began to implement our new integrated business model and our growth strategy in 2005 with the merger of our two banking entities. With this, we created the foundations for the integrated bank, which we launched successfully at the start of 2006.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our record result in our first year as an integrated bank not only reflects our progress across all our businesses – as outlined below – but also the immense potential we can unlock by working together as one bank to create holistic solutions for our clients, drawing on our expertise in Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A strong performance in Investment Banking
|------------------------------------------

|We achieved record results in Investment Banking last year, reflecting a strong performance in all key businesses and regions benefiting from favorable market conditions, high levels of client activity and improved market share in a range of products. Against this backdrop, we generated record revenues in advisory and debt and equity underwriting and significantly increased our trading revenues. Income from continuing operations before taxes grew by 272% compared to 2005. Excluding credits from insurance settlements for litigation and related costs in 2006 and a charge to increase litigation reserves in 2005, income from continuing operations before taxes grew by 113%. Our strong results reflect continued progress against our strategy to deliver a more profitable business.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Highlights in Investment Banking in 2006 included our continued leadership position in some of the world’s fastest-growing emerging markets, such as China, Russia, Brazil and Mexico. This was demonstrated, among other things, by our number one market share ranking in equity issuance and announced mergers and acquisitions in Latin America and our recognition as the “China Equity House” in International Financing Review’s Asia Awards 2006. At the same time, we maintained our leadership position in other important growth areas such as commercial mortgage-backed securities, leveraged finance and financial sponsors. Credit Suisse also advised on a number of landmark deals in 2006, including the USD 21.9 billion IPO of China’s leading commercial bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, in the largest transaction of its type to date, and the USD 12.1 billion acquisition of Corus Group plc in the United Kingdom by Tata Steel of India.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Continued expansion in Private Banking
|--------------------------------------

|In our Private Banking segment, which comprises the Wealth Management and Corporate & Retail Banking businesses, we delivered very strong results with significantly higher net revenues in 2006. This revenue growth outpaced an increase in total operating expenses driven partly by ongoing strategic investments in the Wealth Management business. This resulted in record income from continuing operations before taxes for 2006. Asset gathering also reached a record level, with net new assets of CHF 50.5 billion in Wealth Management, representing a growth rate of 7.3%. We continued to expand our global reach in Wealth Management throughout 2006 and announced the launch of new onshore operations in Brazil, Russia, Australia, Qatar, Lebanon and Orange County, California.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Realignment of Asset Management
|-------------------------------

|In our Asset Management segment, we generated strong net new assets of CHF 50.8 billion in 2006, including alternative investment assets of CHF 15.3 billion. Our net revenues before private equity and other investment-related gains increased 12%, driven by higher asset management revenues and private equity commissions and fees. However, income from continuing operations before taxes decreased by half compared to 2005, reflecting higher total operating expenses, partly due to realignment expenses, and lower private equity and other investment-related gains.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We achieved progress in the realignment of Asset Management in the second half of the year, as part of the previously announced strategy to reposition businesses with low profitability, reshape the product offering, improve investment and sales processes and reduce the overall cost base. In addition, we continued to invest in expanding the geographic footprint of our Asset Management business in key markets, while also taking steps to broaden our alternative investment business with a series of strategic alliances aimed at adding new capabilities and at increasing our product offering.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Strategic priorities
|--------------------

|While we made excellent progress in strengthening our operating efficiency during our first year as an integrated bank, we still have great potential for further improvement. We are now embarking on the next phase in our growth plan and have defined three clear strategic priorities to accelerate the expansion of our business going forward.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|First, we will continue to capitalize on our integrated banking model by building on a series of targeted internal initiatives that drive revenue growth and reduce costs.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Second, we will deploy our capital as efficiently as possible. The target for our investments is an annual rate of return on equity of 20% or above in the medium term.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Finally, we will continue to expand our activities in high-growth markets and products. For example, we signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake in the Brazilian asset manager and private bank Hedging-Griffo in the fourth quarter of 2006. This strategic step will help us to leverage our integrated banking model in Brazil in order to provide a comprehensive range of investment banking, private banking and asset management services to onshore clients in this market. We also aim to realize our third priority through measures such as the expansion of our activities in dynamic emerging markets and the growth of leading businesses and products, including alternative investments and structured products. Our objective is to generate long-term, sustainable returns. We will therefore focus on and invest in businesses which fit our model and are in line with this objective.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our clients have responded well to our new business model. Credit Suisse is now very well positioned to capture the growth potential resulting from globalization, which we expect to create attractive business opportunities for the foreseeable future.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Yours sincerely

|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Further strengthening of the integrated organization
|----------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse continued to strengthen its operational structure and activities. Its efforts are based on five key initiatives that are designed to improve the use of its resources, increase focus on clients and improve productivity. In addition, the initiatives are expected to increase cost awareness as a foundation for sustained and profitable growth. These five initiatives are:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|One Bank Delivery
|-----------------

|The full potential of the integrated organization, including the generation of revenue synergies, can only be realized if cooperation is maximized and the combined execution and distribution capabilities are utilized. Credit Suisse implemented its One Bank Delivery initiative, which centers on the systematic identification of business opportunities that enable it to deliver its entire expertise to clients, including, but not limited to:
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Providing ultra-high-net-worth clients in Private Banking with customized solutions and access to Investment Banking and Asset Management;
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Leveraging Investment Banking relationships for referrals to Private Banking and Asset Management;
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Leveraging Investment Banking relationships to market cross-divisional solutions to pension funds globally;
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Growing sales of Asset Management’s alternative investment products and services to Private Banking clients; and
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Offering Investment Banking prime services and execution to hedge and mutual funds.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Client Centricity
|-----------------

|Credit Suisse has a long tradition of providing innovative solutions to its clients. The Client Centricity initiative is designed to ensure that Credit Suisse delivers its full capability to clients in a scalable and profitable manner, by adopting an increasingly client-oriented perspective rather than a product-driven approach. By applying Client Centricity, Credit Suisse is pursuing client-driven innovation. Using sophisticated segmentation analysis, as well as extensive client interviews, which consider aspects of client conduct such as behavior and buying patterns, Credit Suisse is able to identify the needs of existing and potential clients. Credit Suisse then draws on these insights to deliver comprehensive financial solutions using the capability of the entire organization.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Centers of Excellence
|---------------------

|In a competitive global marketplace, it is important for Credit Suisse to manage its resources and to expand its global infrastructure and footprint to meet the requirements of clients. Credit Suisse has responded to this need by establishing Centers of Excellence that leverage its global talent pool and resources in order to supply high-quality internal services at competitive costs.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In November 2006, Credit Suisse announced plans to open a Center of Excellence in India as part of its global sourcing initiative. The new Credit Suisse branded facility in Pune commenced operations in January 2007. The Pune site complements Credit Suisse’s existing Centers of Excellence in Singapore and Raleigh, North Carolina.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In February 2007, Credit Suisse announced the launch of a new Center of Excellence in Wroclaw, Poland, which is expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2007. The new site will support Credit Suisse’s global businesses and highlights Credit Suisse’s commitment to the Eastern European region.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In March 2007, Credit Suisse further expanded its Center of Excellence in Singapore to meet the increased demand.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Operational Excellence
|----------------------

|Operational Excellence is an initiative based on principles and methodologies such as Lean Sigma, which provides the tools and processes needed to deliver substantial and sustained improvements in service quality, control, productivity and revenues. Operational Excellence was first introduced in Private Banking in 2004 and was extended to the rest of Credit Suisse in 2006. The initiative is based on three basic principles:
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The creation of a cultural mindset for continuous improvement;
|----------------------------------------------------------------

|– The implementation of a standardized problem-solving methodology throughout the organization; and
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The creation of a management culture that is increasingly driven by client perspectives and focuses on data relating to client needs and process performance.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Examples of successful Operational Excellence projects in 2006 include: an improved real estate appraisal project resulting in faster mortgage application processing in Switzerland; a plan to reduce the administrative workload of relationship managers in Wealth Management, enabling them to devote more time to their clients; and a fund access project, providing financial institutions with funds trading services, such as settlement, execution and custody, allowing them to save internal resources and staffing costs. At the end of 2006, Credit Suisse had various Operational Excellence projects in its global project portfolio, generating significant benefits across all areas of the organization.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Cost Management
|---------------

|Credit Suisse can only make optimal use of the growth and synergies resulting from the integration of the business if it maintains a disciplined approach to costs. It therefore rolled out a Cost Management initiative with the aim of further developing a cost-conscious culture, more actively managing costs and increasing the flexibility of the cost structure and the efficiency of business processes. The cost savings generated by this initiative are expected to make a noticeable contribution towards sustained, long-term profitability.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Sale of the insurance business
|------------------------------

|In June 2006, Credit Suisse announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its insurance business, “Winterthur” Swiss Insurance Company (Winterthur), to AXA S.A. for cash consideration of CHF 12.3 billion. As part of the sale agreement, AXA S.A. agreed to repay approximately CHF 1.1 billion of debt outstanding between Credit Suisse and Winterthur. On December 22, 2006, the Group completed the sale of Winterthur and realized a net capital gain of CHF 1,817 million.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For further information on the sale of Winterthur, see note 4 “Discontinued operations” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Expansion of Credit Suisse’s global footprint
|---------------------------------------------

|In addition to maintaining a close proximity to its clients in mature markets, Credit Suisse is also committed to growing its footprint in emerging markets in order to meet the increasing demand for innovative and integrated financial services and advice. In 2006, Credit Suisse expanded its operations in a number of key growth markets by opening offices, expanding its onshore activities, recruiting staff and extending its range of product offerings.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Latin America is an important growth market for Credit Suisse. In December 2006, Credit Suisse announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire a majority interest in Hedging-Griffo, a leading independent asset management and private banking company in Brazil. Subject to the approval of the Central Bank of Brazil, the transaction is expected to close by mid-2007. This acquisition will significantly strengthen Credit Suisse’s onshore asset management businesses, expand its private banking operations and complement its leading position in investment banking in the Brazilian market.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In Russia, Credit Suisse launched an onshore wealth management business in Moscow in September 2006, which complements its leading investment banking business. Credit Suisse became one of the first international banks to offer onshore wealth management services to meet the needs of clients in Russia who are increasingly seeking local access to global execution capabilities and integrated solutions.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In South Africa, Credit Suisse formed a partnership with Standard Bank to expand its equities business, offering its clients access to the South African equities market, which is an important component of many emerging market indices. Credit Suisse also expects to leverage this partnership into developing relationships with local clients to benefit its other businesses.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In the Middle East, Credit Suisse further expanded its footprint through onshore initiatives in Qatar and Lebanon. Credit Suisse became one of the first major global financial institutions to be awarded a license to operate in the Qatar Financial Centre in March 2006. This license enabled Credit Suisse to open a subsidiary in Doha, from which it offers high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients a comprehensive range of investment advisory services and products. Furthermore, Credit Suisse’s subsidiary in Lebanon was registered as a financial institution in March 2006, enabling Credit Suisse to offer a comprehensive range of global and local products and services to clients in the Lebanese market. With these two new locations, in addition to the well-established full-service bank in Dubai, Saudi Swiss Securities, and the equities business in Saudi Arabia, Credit Suisse is well placed to respond to the demand for financial solutions in this dynamic region.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In China, Credit Suisse acted as a joint book runner on the USD 21.9 billion initial public offering (IPO) of China’s leading commercial bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, in the largest transaction of this type to date. Credit Suisse also acted as a joint book runner on the IPO of China Construction Bank, which was the largest IPO globally in 2005, making Credit Suisse the only international bank that has completed two large Chinese state-owned-bank privatizations so far. In addition, Credit Suisse received approval to participate in the Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor program launched by the Chinese government in 2006. This will allow Credit Suisse to provide tailored solutions for qualified domestic investors to access international investment opportunities.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In Vietnam, Credit Suisse received regulatory approval to engage in the trading of domestic equities and government and corporate bonds. Credit Suisse is one of the first foreign banks to receive certificates to trade both domestic equity and fixed income securities. This move further underpins Credit Suisse’s commitment to Vietnam, where we have been acting as a bridge between the country and the international investment community.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In Indonesia, PT Credit Suisse Investment Management Indonesia (PT CSIMI) became operational in February 2006. With its investment manager license, PT CSIMI offers investment advisory services to high-net-worth individuals in Indonesia and allows them to invest in local investment products.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse also announced the launch of private banking operations in Australia in a move to strengthen its presence in Asia Pacific. Credit Suisse already has well-established investment banking and asset management businesses in Australia. With the introduction of private banking activities, Credit Suisse should be well positioned to satisfy the growing need for comprehensive asset and liability management solutions among high-net-worth individuals in this market.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse continued to develop its business in India. India is one of the most promising markets, with significant business opportunities in wealth management and investment banking.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Launch of new business initiatives through joint ventures and alliances
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse believes that the establishment of joint ventures offers valuable opportunities for business development by enabling it to combine its know-how and distribution capabilities with the specialized expertise of proven partners. In 2006, Credit Suisse launched a number of new business initiatives across its different regions in conjunction with first-class providers.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As part of its strategy to develop its presence in Asia, Credit Suisse announced a joint venture in South Korea with Woori Asset Management in April 2006. This initiative created one of the largest joint venture asset management companies between a South Korean company and a foreign asset manager. The venture brings together Woori’s strong distribution network in South Korea with Credit Suisse’s expertise and knowledge of global markets.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse and General Electric Infrastructure announced the launch of Global Infrastructure Partners, a joint venture that combines the expertise, global footprint and financial strength of the two partners in order to meet the growing need for investment in energy and transportation infrastructure worldwide.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse started a new strategic alliance with Glencore International AG (Glencore) to build a new derivatives and structured products trading business in the metals business. The alliance will provide risk management and investment products to Credit Suisse and Glencore customers globally.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse also announced a series of strategic growth initiatives in conjunction with leading industry partners in September 2006 as part of its strategy to further expand its alternative investment capabilities. This included an investment partnership with the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company in the area of alternative energy projects and a strategic partnership with Ospraie Management to expand its private equity business into the commodities area. Credit Suisse also broadened its private equity activities with strategic partnerships in China and Latin America, including a partnership with China Renaissance Capital Investment to invest in smaller, developing companies in the Chinese market. Each of these strategic alliances represents a synergistic venture combining Credit Suisse’s investment ideas, client relationships and distribution capabilities with the specialized investment expertise of its partners.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Realignment of Asset Management
|-------------------------------

|Credit Suisse undertook the realignment of Asset Management as part of its efforts to better leverage the asset management capabilities within the integrated organization. It implemented a series of initiatives within the division, including the repositioning of businesses with low profitability, the streamlining of the product portfolio, the launch of new sales processes and initiatives, the enhancement of investment processes and capabilities and measures to lower its overall cost base.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Integration of Credit Suisse’s independent private banks
|--------------------------------------------------------

|In April 2006, Credit Suisse announced plans to merge its four independent private banks, Clariden, Bank Leu, Bank Hofmann and BGP Banca di Gestione Patrimoniale, as well as the securities dealer Credit Suisse Fides, to form a single private bank, Clariden Leu, effective January 1, 2007. The main aim of the merger is to create a platform for continued profitable growth by using the joint identity, wider product range and increased geographical reach to generate higher earnings, while still maintaining the specialized, individual service standards of these private banks. The integration process is expected to be completed by the end of 2007.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Appointment of Brady W. Dougan as the new CEO of Credit Suisse and other changes in the Executive Board

Philipp will focus on expanding strategic client relationships with a particular focus on the Middle East.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|150th anniversary celebrations
|------------------------------

|2006 marked the 150th anniversary of the founding of Credit Suisse by the Swiss pioneer and innovator, Alfred Escher. In addition to establishing the original “Schweizerische Kreditanstalt” bank, he was the inspiration behind a number of landmark institutions in Switzerland such as the Gotthard Railway, the Nordostbahn Railway, Swiss Life and the Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. Escher’s creativity and spirit of innovation are values that are still upheld by Credit Suisse today, as it draws on 150 years of tradition and banking expertise to provide intelligent and innovative solutions for its clients.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Throughout its anniversary year, Credit Suisse conducted a wide range of activities under the motto “150 Years of Tradition and Innovation”. In connection with the anniversary, Christo and Jeanne-Claude gave Credit Suisse the opportunity to exhibit the world premiere of The Gates, Central Park, New York City, USA, 1979–2005 – A documentation; and Over the River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado – A Work in Progress. The exhibition, which was a gift to the city of Zurich, ran for two weeks in March 2006. Credit Suisse also held a series of anniversary events for clients and stakeholders throughout the year at 20 international locations, including gala events in Zurich, New York, Hong Kong and London.

Credit Suisse purchased a controlling stake in Bank Leu in 1990, Schweizerische Volksbank in 1993, Neue Aargauer Bank in 1994 and Winterthur in 1997. In addition, Credit Suisse acquired Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Inc. in 2000. In 2006, Credit Suisse sold Winterthur, allowing it to focus on its banking operations.

|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse’s primary objective as an integrated organization is to use its combined experience and expertise to offer comprehensive financial solutions and global execution capabilities to its international clients. It also aims to capture synergies for revenue growth and to enhance efficiency through intense cross-business cooperation and the pooling of resources. Credit Suisse believes that the integrated organization is well positioned to respond rapidly and effectively to the impacts of globalization, new technologies and growing competitive pressure in the banking industry.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Divisions
|---------

|The three global divisions, which form Credit Suisse’s integrated organization, each have a management committee led by a divisional CEO. The management committee is responsible for developing strategic business plans for review by the Executive Board and for driving and coordinating significant business initiatives and monitoring performance. The CEOs of the three divisions report directly to the CEO of Credit Suisse and, together with the four regional CEOs, are responsible for ensuring a consistent strategic vision and direction across all divisions and regions.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Shared Services
|---------------

|Shared Services provides corporate services and business support in the fields of finance, operations, including human resources, legal and compliance, risk management and information technology:
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) area includes financial accounting, controlling, product control, tax, treasury, investor relations, new business and global insurance.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The Chief Operating Officer (COO) area encompasses the areas of human resources, the business school, corporate real estate and services, corporate development, supply management, corporate communications, public policy and operational excellence.

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) area comprises strategic risk management, credit risk management, risk measurement and management and operational risk oversight, which cooperate closely to maintain a strict risk control environment and to help ensure that Credit Suisse’s risk capital is deployed wisely.

|– Information Technology leverages technology across the business to facilitate execution and product delivery and innovative systems and platforms to meet the needs of the other areas within Shared Services.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Regions
|-------

|Credit Suisse’s regional structure is designed to promote cross-divisional collaboration while leveraging resources and synergies within each region. The four geographic areas are:
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The Americas region – comprising operations in the United States, Canada and Latin America.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The Asia Pacific region – primarily comprising operations in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The EMEA region – comprising operations in 28 countries, primarily managed in the United Kingdom.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Switzerland – comprising operations in Credit Suisse’s home market.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Each of the four regions is headed by a regional CEO, who plays a pivotal role in ensuring that the three divisions present one face to the client within the individual regions by cooperating to produce integrated solutions. This coordinated approach is designed to enable Credit Suisse to realize the increased earnings potential of its integrated organization.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The regions perform a number of essential functions to support the global operations of the three divisions. On a strategic level, they are responsible for corporate development and the establishment of regional business plans, projects and initiatives. They also have an oversight role in monitoring financial performance. Each region is responsible for the regulatory relationships within its boundaries, as well as for regulatory risk management and the resolution of significant issues in the region as a whole or its constituent countries. Other responsibilities include client and people leadership and the coordination of the delivery of Shared Services and business support in the region.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Vision, mission and principles
|------------------------------

|Credit Suisse’s vision is to become the world’s premier bank, renowned for its expertise in investment banking, private banking and asset management and most valued for its advice, innovation and execution.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse’s mission is to set new standards in partnering with its clients, providing them with innovative and integrated solutions. Cultural diversity is essential to the success of Credit Suisse, which strives to create a workplace in which people work openly and respectfully with each other and with clients to deliver superior results that will lead to success and prosperity for all its stakeholders.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Three principles guide Credit Suisse in all its decisions, actions and objectives:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– A relentless focus on client needs
|------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse knows that it can only set new standards in partnering with clients if it places them at the center of all that it does and has a complete understanding of their requirements and aspirations. Credit Suisse believes that nothing short of excellence will suffice. Building on its tradition to innovate, it strives to develop new and intelligent solutions and compelling value propositions to satisfy client needs.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Teamwork must be at the heart of all that Credit Suisse does
|--------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse employees are committed to working together as a team across businesses and regions to deliver added value to clients. As an integrated organization, Credit Suisse is well positioned to capitalize on the combined strengths and expertise of its people in order to provide holistic product offerings and a truly seamless service that sets it apart from its peers. Dedication, determination and dialog are the keys to successful teamwork at Credit Suisse.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Reputation is everything
|--------------------------

|Credit Suisse knows that a reputation takes years to build but can be lost in an instant. It is therefore committed to maintaining and enhancing its reputation at all times by delivering the best possible results, by generating value for clients and shareholders, by acting with professionalism, integrity and respect and by serving as a reliable partner to all its stakeholders.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Strategy
|--------

|Credit Suisse’s strategy builds on its integrated structure and client-centric business model and ensures that the Group can deliver its full range of products and services to clients from across its three divisions, Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We have defined three strategic priorities in order to accelerate the expansion of our business going forward.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We will continue to capitalize on our integrated banking model by building on a series of targeted internal initiatives that drive revenue growth and reduce costs. We believe that the integrated organization has the necessary flexibility and resources to provide innovative financial solutions and compelling advice. Credit Suisse is one of the few truly integrated global banks with a business model designed to enable it to meet the sophisticated requirements of institutional and private clients throughout the world, rapidly and effectively. Credit Suisse’s business model is the response to constantly changing client needs in an industry that is driven by globalization and rapid technological developments. These two trends are transforming the expectations and conduct of clients, who are demanding an even broader range of offerings, improved performance, greater transparency and continuous access to global execution capabilities.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Based on the strongest capital base in its history, Credit Suisse will use its capital resources to grow its business, while, at the same time, returning capital to its shareholders. Credit Suisse is committed to deploying its capital as efficiently as possible. The target for our annual return on equity is above 20% across business cycles over a three to five year period. Credit Suisse will expand its operations primarily through organic growth, as well as through select smaller acquisitions, joint ventures and similar alliances. Credit Suisse has set aside CHF 4 billion of capital for organic growth and CHF 3.5 billion for these targeted acquisitions.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We will continue to expand our activities in high-growth markets and products. The announcement of an agreement to acquire the Brazilian asset manager Hedging Griffo in December 2006 is an example of the strategic steps that we intend to take to leverage our integrated banking model in our growth markets. We also aim to realize this priority through measures such as the expansion of our activities in dynamic emerging markets and the growth of leading businesses and products, including alternative investments and structured products. Our objective is to generate long-term, sustainable returns. We will therefore focus on and invest in businesses which fit our model and are in line with that objective.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Strategic plans in our three divisions
|--------------------------------------

|Investment Banking
|------------------

|Investment Banking has made significant progress across businesses and is targeting the substantial opportunities as part of its ongoing strategic initiatives.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We are building on existing strengths that are well matched against market trends. These trends include the growth of the emerging markets, further growth in structured products, the role of financial sponsors and the move toward electronic execution. We are well positioned to benefit from these trends by further capitalizing on our industry-leading emerging markets platform, our leading commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) businesses, our leading franchise in leveraged finance and financial sponsors and our Advanced Execution Services (AES®) electronic trading platform.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We are also targeting areas where we see additional potential to close business gaps such as prime services, commodities and derivatives.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Private Banking
|---------------

|In Private Banking, we aim to establish Credit Suisse as the premier private bank worldwide and in Switzerland. We are improving our wealth management offering by anticipating the key trends that shape the wealth management industry. We will focus on total client wealth, including all asset classes as well as liabilities. We will look at our clients from three different angles: source of wealth, investment behavior and life cycle phase. These three dimensions allow us to advise and serve our clients according to their needs. Our integrated business model offers our clients access to comprehensive solutions by combining private banking, asset management and investment banking skills. We plan to further expand our global presence by offering onshore and offshore capabilities in all major regions.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Asset Management
|----------------

|Asset Management has made significant progress in realigning the various businesses that came together to create the new division over the course of the past year, putting its business on a sound platform for future growth.

|Operating environment and competition
|-------------------------------------

|Operating environment and competition for Investment Banking
|------------------------------------------------------------

|Operating environment
|---------------------

|The operating environment for Investment Banking is expected to remain favorable in the near term, reflecting expected continued growth in the global economy, high corporate earnings and capital flows into the equity markets and strong levels of client activity.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Investment Banking is well positioned to benefit from a number of trends in the industry. Holding a leading position in emerging markets, Investment Banking is likely to benefit from the rapid growth and increasing importance of these markets. The growth of hedge funds and alternative investments is expected to continue to fuel growth in the prime brokerage services business, which has been recognized as a top provider to hedge funds. Investment Banking, with its strengths in technology and its advanced execution services platform, is expected to benefit from the move towards electronic execution. Investment Banking is also well positioned in the structured products business, despite more volatile market conditions in the subprime sector within the mortgage market, which weakened towards the end of 2006 and in the first quarter of 2007. In addition, Investment Banking is likely to continue to benefit from leveraging its leadership position in the financial sponsor sector and leveraged finance, both of which have gained greater importance in the market.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Competition
|-----------

|Investment Banking faces intense global competition across each of its businesses. Investment Banking competes with investment and commercial banks, broker-dealers and other firms offering financial services. New entrants into the financial services and execution markets, such as commercial banks and technology companies, have contributed to further market fragmentation, fee and spread compression and product commoditization. In addition, Investment Banking faces continued competitive pressure to make loans or commit capital to clients.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Operating environment and competition for Private Banking
|---------------------------------------------------------

|Operating environment
|---------------------

|Credit Suisse expects stable growth in its markets as in previous years, accompanied by greater concentrations of wealth, asset accumulation and market appreciation. Growth rates are expected to be higher in onshore than offshore markets, as a result of greater political stability in newly industrialized countries and the deregulation of local markets in industrialized nations. Asian countries, the Middle East and Eastern Europe have seen substantial wealth generation, which has created significant opportunities for global wealth managers. Also, the strong world economy has paved the way for a recovery in many Western European economies, which has led to higher revenues from net inflows as well as trading activities. The high-net-worth markets are expected to record significant growth rates as a result of the inter-generational wealth transfer in many Western European countries. However, further regulations, as well as enhanced risk and transparency requirements, will put pressure on traditional offshore locations. Credit Suisse anticipated this development several years ago and has built its onshore operations in several markets.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Two demographic trends are leading to significant changes in the wealth management business. First, general social security can no longer guarantee an appropriate level of pension benefits in the face of growing demand. Since governments are increasingly encouraging the accumulation of private wealth, the baby boomer generation is seeking to invest for its retirement, thus suggesting medium-term growth opportunities. Second, the generation that will inherit this wealth has a detailed knowledge of the capital markets. They will have a growing need for a diverse range of complex products, including alternative investments, to protect their assets. Since they are expected to be more active in financial decision-making and are also more sensitive to costs, this generation tends to be less loyal and switch between financial institutions more readily. A key success factor for these institutions is therefore to provide clients with a greater quantity of high-quality information, while providing them with easy and transparent access to the products they require.

|The Swiss corporate and retail banking industry is largely dependent on the overall economic development in Switzerland, where Corporate & Retail Banking expects to achieve growth in line with the development of the economy. Swiss retail banking clients generally have comparatively high incomes and savings rates, resulting in a large demand for personal investment management solutions. Furthermore, the Swiss private mortgage business has developed positively in recent years and this trend is expected to continue going forward. The home ownership rate in Switzerland is still low, at approximately 37%, thus offering further potential for mortgage business growth, although this is likely to be subject to declining margins.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Competition
|-----------

|There is a continued high level of competitive pressure, which is set to increase further as wealth management clients increasingly seek expert advice, an integrated approach to the management of their assets and innovative products. It is therefore essential for financial institutions to invest in a modern infrastructure, the further development of their employees and the recruitment of leading talent, particularly in the United States and Asia, where there is a lot of competition for relationship managers.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The consolidation in the wealth management market is continuing in order to meet the future requirements of clients and to produce synergies. Wealth Management’s competitors include major financial institutions with dedicated wealth management activities, such as UBS, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank and HSBC, as well as a number of independent private and retail banks in the Swiss market. In the business with ultra-high-net-worth individuals, major competitors such as the US investment banks are building upon their investment banking expertise and client relationships. In the Swiss market, Wealth Management’s largest competitor is UBS, followed by a number of independent private banks.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In the Swiss corporate and retail business, competition has increased significantly in recent years, especially in the area of private mortgages, where existing and new competitors have adopted aggressive pricing practices. The need to invest heavily in quality advisory capabilities, product innovation and customized client solutions through an open architecture underlines this development. The largest competitor in the Swiss corporate and retail banking market is UBS. Other competitors include the cantonal banks – many of which have state guarantees – as well as regional savings and loan institutions, Raiffeisen Switzerland and other cooperative banks.

|Operating environment and competition for Asset Management
|----------------------------------------------------------

|Operating environment
|---------------------

|With the exception of investment grade fixed income markets, most asset classes generated significant positive returns in 2006. Many emerging equity markets saw performance numbers in excess of 30%, while the returns available in the Eurozone were above 20%. After a mediocre performance in 2005, returns in US equity markets were approximately 15%. The top-performing sectors were Base Metals, Real Estate and Utilities. Investor capital flows were particularly powerful into private equity and hedge funds, which in turn supported the equity markets at a time of strong corporate earnings growth. The potential negative factors of a slowdown in the US economy, rising interest rates in Europe and Japan and the impact of higher commodity prices did not adversely affect markets.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Competition
|-----------

|The asset management industry is experiencing a number of competitive trends. The trend of managers outperforming in less liquid markets, such as small and mid-cap equities and emerging markets, while finding it difficult to add “alpha” in developed, liquid markets, has persisted in the current market environment. This has encouraged investors to focus on enhanced indexation and quantitatively driven products as the “core” of their portfolios and to look to add additional return to diversified portfolios through the addition of non-core, or “satellite” products, such as absolute return strategies, including hedge funds and other alternative investments, such as private equity and real estate.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As a result, institutional investors, including pension funds, are increasingly allocating assets to both index strategies and to alternative investments. Despite the fact that traditional asset classes continue to be the primary portion of professionally managed assets, the current trend is clear. As a result, many traditional asset managers are seeking to expand into the hedge fund arena, either through organic growth or acquisition. There is also convergence between traditional active asset management and hedge funds, as managers in both fields broaden their investment strategies and approaches. Another competitive trend is increased competition from products that seek to replicate performance of both traditional and alternative investment strategies through structured derivatives.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Finally, the divergence in performance between different asset classes has led to strong client demand for asset allocation advice and products and encouraged the development of products that combine multiple asset classes.

|Operating and financial review
|------------------------------

|Overview
|--------

|Factors affecting results of operations
|---------------------------------------

|In the first quarter of 2006, the main developed economies maintained their gross domestic product growth, which was reflected in increased equity market valuations. This increase in equity values was accompanied by high energy prices, which pushed up inflation rates in most countries. However, core inflation rates and indicators remained moderate and the corporate and consumer confidence level continued on an upward trend. In light of higher inflation risk, both the US Federal Reserve (FRB) and the European Central Bank (ECB) raised short-term interest rates.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|At the beginning of the second quarter, the confident financial markets sentiment started to wane. The FRB and the ECB continued raising their interest rates and the high prices for oil and other commodities increased the volatility in the equity markets. As a consequence, all main equity indices were lower in May and early June, but recovered towards the end of the quarter. In the United States, there were concerns that real estate markets were overvalued.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The expansion of the global economy continued during the third quarter, despite strong fluctuations in oil prices, which reached a new peak in the third quarter. The majority of the equity markets made up for the losses in the second quarter and continued to report record highs. This development was boosted by a robust economic climate and solid corporate earnings. Some central banks, including the ECB and the Bank of Japan, increased their interest rates.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The conditions present in the third quarter continued into the fourth quarter. The global economy was still growing, equity markets continued rising and the risk of inflation declined. However, due to the higher core inflation rates, the Swiss National Bank and the ECB raised their short-term interest rates modestly.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|During 2006, the broad US equity markets recorded gains of approximately 15%. In Switzerland, the Swiss Market Index (SMI) reached a new all-time high, with a significant part of the increase driven by gains on the value of medium-sized companies. Other financial indexes, such as the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE 100) and the Nikkei 225, increased significantly during the year. Yield curves further flattened at the long end towards the end of the year. In some countries, including the United States, the short-term yield remained higher than the long-term interest rate.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|2006 was also a record year for global debt underwriting activity. A high level of financing and mergers and acquisitions activity across many sectors helped drive debt issuance volume in both investment-grade and high-yield debt.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Global equity underwriting volumes reached a record level for the year, driven by the record volumes in the initial public offering market and the revival of convertible issuances. Global initial public offering volume rose for the third successive year, surpassing the previous record in 2000. On a regional basis, Europe accounted for the largest number and dollar volume of initial public offerings and China was highest on an individual country basis.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The total volume of announced mergers and acquisitions transactions in 2006 exceeded the previous record set in 2000. Financial sponsors continued to drive mergers and acquisitions activity and European volume growth outpaced the United States, compared to the prior year.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Presentation of results
|-----------------------

|Effective January 1, 2006, Credit Suisse aligned its organizational structure to form a fully integrated organization, with three segments: Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Prior-period segment results have been revised to reflect the operational and management structure in place during 2006. The Group’s segments are managed and reported on a pre-tax basis. Minority interest-related revenues and expenses resulting from the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities in which the Group does not have a significant economic interest in such revenues and expenses are reported in the Corporate Center. Net incomeis unaffected by the consolidation of these entities due to offsetting minority interests.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Responsibility for each product is allocated to a segment, which records all related revenues and expenses. Revenue sharing agreements govern the compensation received by one segment for generating revenue on behalf of another. These agreements are negotiated periodically by the relevant segments on a product-by-product basis.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Revenues are evaluated in the aggregate, including an assessment of trading gains and losses and the related interest income and expense from financing and hedging positions. For this reason, individual revenue categories may not be indicative of the performance of a segment.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Shared Services, with approximately 15,000 employees as of December 31, 2006, provides corporate services and business support in finance, operations, including human resources, legal and compliance, risk management and information technology. Compensation and benefits and Other expenses of Shared Services are allocated to the segments based on support requirements of the segments, revenues or other relevant measures.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Global Treasury department allocates interest income and expense relating to balance sheet funding requirements to the segments. In addition, the Global Treasury department allocates to the segments gains and losses related to certain treasury funding transactions based upon the expected funding needs of the segments.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For further information on expenses that are not allocated to the segments, see “Operating and financial review – Corporate Center” and note 5 “Segment information” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

|Summary of Credit Suisse Group results
|--------------------------------------

|The Group recorded Net income of CHF 11,327 million, an increase of CHF 5,477 million, or 94%, compared to 2005. 2006 Net income included a net capital gain of CHF 1,817 million from the sale of Winterthur. Income from continuing operations before extraordinary items and cumulative effect of accounting changes in 2006 was CHF 8,281 million, an increase of 83%. Investment Banking results improved significantly as a result of favorable market conditions and increased client and deal activity and included credits from insurance settlements for litigation and related costs of CHF 508 million. Private Banking also reported good results as higher revenues associated with client activity were partially offset by higher compensation expenses, including strategic investments in Wealth Management’s global franchise. Asset Management results declined reflecting lower Private equity and other investment-related gains and higher Compensation and benefits and Other expenses, partly due to the business realignment.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group recorded Net income of CHF 5,850 million in 2005, compared to CHF 5,628 million in 2004, an increase of CHF 222 million, or 4%. 2005 Net income included a non-cash charge of CHF 421 million after tax relating to a change in the Group’s accounting for share-based awards and a CHF 624 million after-tax charge in Investment Banking to increase the reserve for certain private litigation matters. Net revenues in 2005 increased to CHF 30,489 million, a 13% increase, compared to 2004, benefiting from high levels of client activity during the year. Total operating expenses increased 19% to CHF 23,232 million and there was a net release in Provision for credit losses of CHF 144 million, reflecting the continued positive credit environment. Income from continuing operations before taxes increased in Private Banking and Asset Management, reflecting strong Private equity and other investment-related gains, partially offset by a decrease in Investment Banking, mainly driven by the litigation charge.

|Credit Suisse remains focused on its strategy to provide more value to its clients through its integrated banking model and active growth of its global footprint. During the fourth quarter of 2006, Credit Suisse announced additional onshore operations in the high-growth market of Brazil through the acquisition of a majority interest in Hedging-Griffo. The Group expects to acquire the remaining interest over a period of five years. Hedging-Griffo is a leading asset management company with a large and well-established client base and also serves high-net-worth individuals through its private banking platform in Brazil. Hedging-Griffo manages CHF 9.2 billion in assets for high-net-worth individuals in Brazil and has increased Assets under management at an average annual growth rate of 38.5% over the past three years. The acquisition will support Credit Suisse’s integrated banking model by adding significant scale to its onshore asset management business, strengthening its private banking businesses and complementing Credit Suisse’s position as a premier investment bank in Brazil. The acquisition is expected to close by the middle of 2007, subject to regulatory approval.

|---------------------

|Net revenues
|------------

|The Group reported Net revenues of CHF 38,603 million in 2006, an increase of CHF 8,114 million, or 27%, compared to 2005. This increase reflected a very strong performance in Investment Banking in favorable market conditions and a solid performance in Private Banking, with increased client activity and asset-based fees. Asset Management Net revenues increased slightly, reflecting lower Private equity and other investment-related gains.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net interest income in 2006 decreased CHF 352 million, or 5%, to CHF 6,566 million, compared to CHF 6,918 million in 2005. Interest and dividend income increased CHF 14,153 million, or 39%, mainly due to higher Interest and dividend income on trading assets and a strong result from higher average balances in both government and corporate bonds. This was offset by a greater increase in Interest expense, primarily on deposits and trading liabilities.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Commissions and fees in 2006 increased CHF 3,324 million, or 23%, to CHF 17,647 million, compared to CHF 14,323 million in 2005, primarily reflecting very strong results in the underwriting, advisory and leveraged finance businesses and the higher levels of Assets under management.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Trading revenues increased 67% to CHF 9,428 million in 2006, compared with CHF 5,634 million in 2005, mainly from strong equity and fixed income trading in Investment Banking, which benefited from favorable market conditions and increased client activity.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other revenues in 2006 increased to CHF 4,962 million, or 37%, from CHF 3,614 million in 2005, which was mainly from higher minority interest-related revenues, recorded in the Corporate Center, from consolidated private equity funds and other entities in which the Group does not have a significant economic interest in such revenues.

|------------------------

|Total operating expenses were CHF 24,414 million in 2006, an increase of CHF 1,182 million, or 5%, compared to CHF 23,232 million in 2005.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Compensation and benefits increased CHF 1,723 million, or 12%, compared to 2005, which included a CHF 630 million expense, recorded in the Corporate Center, relating to a change in the Group’s accounting for share-based compensation awards subject to a non-competition provision that have scheduled vesting beyond an employee’s eligibility for early retirement. 2006 Compensation and benefits primarily reflected higher performance-based compensation in Investment Banking and Private Banking.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other expenses in 2006 included credits from insurance settlements for litigation and related costs of CHF 508 million, while Other expenses in 2005 included the reserve for private litigation matters of CHF 960 million. Excluding these items, Other expenses increased CHF 927 million, or 11%, reflecting a 21% increase in Commission expenses, in line with increased Net revenues.In addition, Professional servicesincreased 12%, primarily reflecting higher marketing activity and re-branding costs and, to a lesser extent, the realignment in Asset Management. Amortization and impairment of other intangible assets increased 89% as a result of intangible asset impairments of CHF 139 million in connection with the realignment of Asset Management. In addition, there were increases in Occupancy expenses and Travel and entertainment expenses.

|Minority interests
|------------------

|Minority interests were CHF 3,630 million in 2006, an increase of CHF 1,682 million, or 86%, compared to 2005. This increase was primarily due to revenues from certain private equity funds and other entities that were consolidated for the first time in 2006. For further information on the consolidation of these additional private equity funds and other entities, see note 2 “Recently issued accounting standards” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Group’s Net revenues and Total operating expenses reflect the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities in which the Group does not have a significant economic interest in such revenues and expenses.

|2006 compared to 2005
|---------------------

Excluding the CHF 508 million of credits from insurance settlements for litigation and related costs in 2006 and the CHF 960 million charge to increase the reserve for certain private litigation matters in 2005, Income from continuing operations before taxes increased 113% compared to 2005. These record results in 2006 reflected strong performance in all key businesses and regions amid favorable market conditions, high levels of deal activity and improved market share in certain products.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pre-tax income margin was 29.1% compared to 10.3% in 2005, and Pre-tax return on average utilized economic capital was 40.3% compared to 15.4% in 2005. Excluding the 2006 insurance settlements and the 2005 litigation charge, Pre-tax income margin was 26.6% and 16.5%, and Pre-tax return on average utilized economic capital was 37.1% and 23.1% in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

|Investment Banking’s progress in implementing its strategy to deliver a more profitable franchise positioned it to capitalize on favorable market conditions prevalent during 2006. For 2006, Investment Banking delivered strong revenue growth and began to make progress on cost management initiatives. Consequently, Investment Banking was able to achieve a number of its financial objectives set out in December 2004 and continues to make incremental progress in other areas of its strategy. Investment Banking reported Net revenues of CHF 20,469 million in 2006, up CHF 4,922 million, or 32%, versus 2005, reflecting significantly higher Total investment banking and Total trading revenues, demonstrating Investment Banking’s strength and leadership position in key business areas, including the emerging markets, leveraged finance, and mortgage businesses. Revenues were well diversified across most product classes and regions.

|Provision for credit losses amounted to a net release of CHF 38 million in 2006 compared to a net release of CHF 73 million in 2005, reflecting the continued favorable credit environment. Any losses on real estate loans held for securitization are recorded in Trading revenues, not as part of Provision for credit losses. Total impaired loans, gross as of December 31, 2006, decreased CHF 324 million, or 63%, to CHF 188 million compared to December 31, 2005, due to the continued favorable credit environment. Valuation allowances as a percentage of total impaired loans, gross increased 45 percentage points from December 31, 2005 to 136% as of December 31, 2006. While the credit environment is likely to remain favorable in the near term, the benign credit environment is not expected to continue, which may result in a modest increase in net new provision levels towards the end of 2007.

|Investment Banking reported Total operating expenses of CHF 14,556 million, up CHF 535 million, or 4%, compared to 2005. Excluding the 2006 insurance settlements and the 2005 litigation charge, Total operating expenses increased CHF 2,003 million, or 15%. Compensation and benefits increased CHF 1,640 million, or 19%, due primarily to higher compensation expenses in line with higher revenues, with discretionary bonus representing a considerable portion of the total amount. Compensation and benefits for a given year are determined by the strength and breadth of business results, staffing levels and the impact of share-based compensation programs. The Compensation/revenue ratio of 50.1% in 2006 was below the targeted level of 53.5% and declined from 55.5% for 2005. Other expenses decreased CHF 1,105 million, or 20%, compared to 2005. Excluding the insurance settlements and the litigation charge, Other expenses were up CHF 363 million, or 8%, from 2005, due primarily to higher commissions in line with higher business activity, higher professional fees due to increased deal activity and the Centers of Excellence start-up initiatives and higher premises and equipment expenses.

Debt underwriting revenues were CHF 2,206 million, up CHF 722 million, or 49%, versus 2005, primarily reflecting higher results in leveraged finance amid more favorable market conditions and higher industry volumes, increased market share and continued strength in the financial sponsor client sector.

Equity underwriting revenues were CHF 1,270 million, up CHF 339 million, or 36%, versus 2005. This improvement was primarily due to record industry-wide equity issuance volumes resulting from improvement in both the initial public offering and convertibles markets. Advisory and other feesincreased CHF 425 million, or 29%, to CHF 1,900 million versus 2005, due primarily to a significant increase in industry-wide mergers and acquisitions activity and increased market share. The Advisory and other fees results also reflected significantly higher revenues from the private fund group, which raises capital for hedge funds, private equity funds and real estate funds.

Fixed income trading revenues increased CHF 2,594 million, or 37%, to CHF 9,598 million versus 2005. These results primarily reflected strong performance in the commercial mortgage-backed securities, emerging markets, leveraged finance and global foreign exchange businesses. Investment Banking continued to expand its residential mortgage-backed securities business, and revenues in 2006 were slightly higher compared to 2005, despite softer market conditions in the United States towards the end of 2006. The market conditions in the subprime sector continued to weaken in the first quarter of 2007. The commodities business continued its growth in 2006 with a solid revenue contribution in the year. Equity trading revenues increased CHF 1,541 million, or 36%, to CHF 5,881 million versus 2005. These results reflected higher revenues in all key business areas.

|Investment Banking’s Average one-day, 99% VaR in 2006 was CHF 79 million, up from CHF 66 million in 2005, mainly due to higher equity VaR, partly offset by an increase in the diversification benefit across risk types. Average utilized economic capital increased CHF 3.3 billion to CHF 15.9 billion, compared to 2005, in line with the strategy to increase capital in support of high-growth and high-margin activities.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other (including loan portfolio) had losses of CHF 386 million in 2006 compared to revenues of CHF 313 million in 2005. These results reflected lower gains from private equity-related investments not included within the Asset Management segment and losses on credit default swaps used to hedge the loan portfolio compared to gains on such credit default swaps in 2005.

|---------------------

|Investment Banking reported Income from continuing operations before taxes of CHF 1,599 million in 2005, a decrease of CHF 424 million, or 21%, compared to 2004.

This improvement, excluding the litigation charge, was driven by higher Net revenues and lower Provision for credit losses (including the release of significant credit provisions), offset in part by higher Total operating expenses.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pre-tax income margin in 2005 decreased to 10.3% from 14.7% in 2004, and Pre-tax return on average utilized economic capital decreased from 22.6% in 2004 to 15.4% in 2005.

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Investment Banking reported Net revenues of CHF 15,547 million in 2005, up CHF 1,806 million, or 13%, versus 2004, reflecting higher Total investment banking and Total trading revenues amid increased industry-wide activity.

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Provision for credit losses amounted to a net release of CHF 73 million in 2005, reflecting the continued favorable credit environment for lenders. This compares to a net release of CHF 34 million in 2004, which included a significant recovery related to the sale of an impaired loan. Total impaired loans, gross as of December 31, 2005, decreased CHF 137 million, or 21%, to CHF 512 million compared to December 31, 2004, due to the continued favorable credit environment.

|Investment Banking reported Total operating expenses of CHF 14,021 million in 2005, an increase of CHF 2,269 million, or 19%, versus 2004. This included the impact of the CHF 960 million charge in 2005 to increase the reserve for certain private litigation matters. Excluding the impact of this litigation charge, Total operating expensesin 2005 increased CHF 1,309 million, or 11%. Compensation and benefits expense increased CHF 856 million, or 11%, to CHF 8,621 million, reflecting higher costs related to deferred compensation plans and higher salaries and benefits due primarily to increased headcount, offset in part by lower severance costs. The Compensation/revenue ratio was 55.5% in 2005 compared to 56.5% in 2004. Other expenses increased CHF 1,413 million, or 35%, to CHF 5,400 million, primarily reflecting the impact of the litigation charge and increased commissions and professional fees.

|Total investment banking revenues improved CHF 581 million, or 18%, to CHF 3,890 million in 2005, with increases in both Total underwriting and Advisory and other fees. This strong investment banking performance reflected the impact of the newly established financing platform, which integrated the capital markets, leveraged finance origination and structuring teams. Investment Banking also benefited from a leading position in the financial sponsors business. Debt underwriting revenues were CHF 1,484 million, up CHF 83 million, or 6%, versus 2004, primarily reflecting higher results in investment grade capital markets and leveraged finance. Equity underwriting revenues were CHF 931 million, up CHF 184 million, or 25%, versus 2004. This improvement was due to higher industry-wide equity issuance activity and increased initial public offering market share in the Americas and Europe. Advisory and other fees increased CHF 314 million, or 27%, to CHF 1,475 million versus 2004, due primarily to an increase in industry-wide activity and increased market share. Advisory and other fees also reflected higher revenues from the private fund group.

|Total trading revenues of CHF 11,344 million increased CHF 1,358 million, or 14%, compared to 2004. Fixed income trading revenues increased CHF 813 million, or 13%, to CHF 7,004 million versus 2004. The fixed income results reflected improvement in commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities and Latin America and other emerging markets trading, all of which are key growth areas in the industry, partially offset by weaker results in US high grade and global foreign exchange positioning. Fixed income trading revenues also reflected a CHF 125 million positive adjustment to the valuation of OTC derivatives in connection with enhancements to better align internal estimates of fair value with dealer market estimates of fair value and a CHF 216 million positive adjustment resulting from a change in the estimate of fair value of retained interests in residential mortgage-backed securities. Equity trading revenues increased CHF 545 million, or 14%, to CHF 4,340 million versus 2004. These results reflected higher revenues in prime services, the global cash business and equity proprietary trading, partially offset by lower revenues in the convertibles business.

|Investment Banking’s Average one-day, 99% VaR in 2005 was CHF 66 million, up from CHF 63 million in 2004, mainly due to higher interest rate and credit spread and equity VaR, partly offset by an increase in the diversification benefit across risk types. Average utilized economic capital increased CHF 2.5 billion to CHF 12.6 billion, compared to 2004 in line with the strategy to increase capital in support of high-growth and high-margin activities.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other (including loan portfolio) revenues decreased CHF 133 million, or 30%, to CHF 313 million in 2005, due primarily to lower interest costs related to allocated goodwill and lower gains from private equity-related investments not managed as part of the Asset Management segment.

|2006 compared to 2005
|---------------------

|Private Banking reported Income from continuing operations before taxes of CHF 4,596 million in 2006, CHF 630 million, or 16%, higher than in 2005. Net revenues were CHF 11,678 million in 2006, up CHF 1,183 million, or 11%, compared to 2005, mainly due to higher Commissions and fees and Net interest income. Total operating expenses were CHF 7,155 million in 2006, an increase of CHF 555 million, or 8%, compared to 2005, mainly reflecting higher performance-related compensation expenses in line with better results and strategic investments in Wealth Management's global franchise. Assets under management as of December 31, 2006, increased 12.3% to CHF 940.3 billion compared to December 31, 2005, including record Net new assets of CHF 52.2 billion, up 3.6% from December 31, 2005.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Private Banking continued to make considerable progress in the international expansion of its global franchise in 2006, building on its momentum in 2005, when it opened six new offices in high-growth markets in the Middle East, Asia and Russia. During 2006, Private Banking invested in additional onshore operations in Doha, Beirut, California, Moscow, Sydney and São Paolo in order to strengthen its presence in these strategic growth markets.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net revenues were CHF 11,678 million in 2006, up CHF 1,183 million, or 11%, compared to 2005. Commissions and fees were up CHF 811 million or 14%, mainly driven by higher asset-based fees related to the higher level of Assets under management. The increase in Commissions and fees was also due to higher brokerage volumes and product issuances, reflecting increased client activity. Net interest income increased CHF 379 million, or 10%, primarily driven by higher liability volumes and margins. In addition, Net interest income benefited from higher dividend income from the equity portfolio of the independent private banks. Trading revenues decreased slightly, mainly related to the lower valuation of the independent private banks’ equity portfolio, offset in part by higher foreign exchange trading from clients.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net releases of Provision for credit losses amounted to CHF 73 million in 2006 compared to net releases of CHF 71 million in 2005, reflecting the continued favorable credit environment.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Total operating expenses were CHF 7,155 million in 2006, an increase of CHF 555 million, or 8%, from 2005. Compensation and benefits increased CHF 450 million, or 13%, mainly reflecting higher performance-related compensation expenses in line with the better results and strategic investments in Wealth Management’s global franchise. In 2006, Wealth Management added 115 relationship managers, taking the total number of relationship managers to over 2,800. Other expenses increased CHF 105 million, or 3%, compared to 2005, due to higher Commission expenses related to higher Commissions and fees, costs associated with the re-branding implementation, expenses related to Wealth Management’s strategic growth in international locations and higher non-credit related provisions.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Private Banking reported a Pre-tax income margin of 39.4% for 2006, an increase of 1.6 percentage points compared to 2005, primarily reflecting the strong increase in Net revenues. Assets under management were CHF 940.3 billion as of December 31, 2006, an increase of CHF 102.7 billion, or 12.3%, compared to December 31, 2005. This increase was due to strong Net new assets generation of CHF 52.2 billion and higher equity valuations, offset in part by the adverse impact of foreign exchange-related movements, mainly the weaker US dollar.

|Wealth Management reported Income from continuing operations before taxes of CHF 3,237 million for 2006, up CHF 576 million, or 22%, from 2005. Net revenues increased CHF 1,056 million, or 15%, in 2006 to CHF 8,181 million compared to 2005, primarily due to higher Commissions and fees from brokerage volumes and product issuances, reflecting stronger client activity, increased asset-based Commissions and fees due to the increased Assets under management, and higher Net interest income, largely due to an increase in liability volumes and margins. Net interest income also benefited from higher dividend income from the equity portfolio of the independent private banks.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net releases of Provision for credit losses for 2006 amounted to CHF 19 million compared to net new provisions of CHF 25 million in 2005.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Total operating expenses for 2006 were CHF 4,963 million, up CHF 524 million, or 12%, from 2005. Compensation and benefits increased CHF 413 million, or 17%, primarily reflecting higher performance-related compensation expenses in line with the better results and strategic investments in the global franchise. Other expenses increased by CHF 111 million, or 5%, from 2005, due to higher Commission expenses related to the increases in Commissions and fees, expenses related to the strategic growth in international locations and higher non-credit related provisions.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pre-tax income margin improved 2.3 percentage points to 39.6% from 2005, reflecting the strong increase in Net revenues, which outpaced the increase in expenses. Assets under management were CHF 784.2 billion as of December 31, 2006, up CHF 90.9 billion, or 13.1%, compared to December 31, 2005. The main drivers of this growth were strong Net new assets generation and higher equity valuations, offset in part by the adverse impact of foreign exchange-related movements, mainly the weaker US dollar. Net new assets inflows were CHF 50.5 billion, an annual growth rate of 7.3% in 2006, exceeding the 6% mid-term target and showing continued momentum in asset gathering. Asset inflows were strongest in Europe and the United States. The slower asset inflows in Asia in the first half of 2006 improved in the second half.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Gross margin on assets under management was 111.6 basis points for 2006, reflecting a slight decrease of 1.0 basis points compared to 2005. This decrease was primarily driven by the decline in the asset-based margin from the slower growth of underlying Net interest income compared to the growth in average Assets under management and the dilution effect from the strong growth in Net new assets during the year.

|Corporate & Retail Banking reported Income from continuing operations before taxes of CHF 1,359 million for 2006, an increase of CHF 54 million, or 4%, compared to 2005. Net revenues increased CHF 127 million, or 4%, in 2006 to CHF 3,497 million, due to increased Net interest income, reflecting higher liability volumes and margins, partially offset by asset margin pressure, and higher asset-based Commissions and fees.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net releases of Provision for credit losses were CHF 54 million for 2006 compared with net releases of CHF 96 million for 2005, reflecting the continued favorable credit environment. However, a reduction in future releases of credit provisions is expected due to a decline in the amount of impaired loans.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Total operating expenses were CHF 2,192 million in 2006, an increase of CHF 31 million, or 1%, compared to 2005. This increase was mainly driven by higher personnel costs from salary increases and related benefits and higher performance-related compensation expenses due to the better results. Other expenses were flat, reflecting higher costs associated with the re-branding implementation, offset by lower costs as a result of cost management initiatives.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pre-tax income margin for 2006 was 38.9%, 0.2 percentage points higher than in 2005, as higher Net revenues exceeded the increase in Total operating expenses and the decrease in net releases of Provision for credit losses. The 2006 Pre-tax return on average utilized economic capital was 49.0%, an increase of 7.1 percentage points compared to 2005 due to a decrease in the Average utilized economic capital, reflecting the risk profile of the lending portfolio, and indicating strong profitability in a very competitive and mature market.

|Private Banking
|---------------

|Private Banking reported Income from continuing operations before taxes of CHF 3,966 million in 2005, up CHF 249 million, or 7%, compared to 2004. Net revenues were CHF 10,495 million in 2005, up CHF 543 million, or 5%, compared to 2004. Commissions and fees were up CHF 378 million, or 7%, mainly reflecting higher asset-based fees and brokerage volumes. Trading revenues increased CHF 164 million, or 26%, primarily due to improved revenues from foreign exchange trading, reflecting higher client transaction volume. Net interest income was up CHF 65 million, or 2%, largely from increases in asset and liability volumes as well as higher liability margins, which were partially offset by pressure on asset margins as a result of the low interest rate environment.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net releases of Provision for credit losses were CHF 71 million in 2005 compared to net new provisions of CHF 116 million in 2004, reflecting a favorable credit environment.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Total operating expenses were CHF 6,600 million in 2005, an increase of CHF 481 million, or 8%, compared to 2004. This increase was mainly driven by higher Compensation and benefits, up CHF 433 million, or 14%, reflecting ongoing investments in the Wealth Management global franchise and higher performance-related compensation expenses due to the improved results. Other expenses were stable in 2005 compared to 2004, as strict cost containment was offset by higher Commission expenses and project costs in 2005 related to the implementation of the integrated banking strategy.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Private Banking reported a Pre-tax income margin of 37.8% for 2005, a slight increase from 37.3% in 2004, reflecting the net release of Provision for credit losses in 2005 versus net new provisions in 2004 and a greater increase in Net revenues than in Total operating expenses. Assets under management were CHF 837.6 billion as of December 31, 2005, up CHF 146.1 billion, or 21.1%, compared to December 31, 2004. The main drivers of this growth were higher equity valuations, strong Net new assets inflows, mainly from strategic key markets, and the impact of favorable foreign exchange-related movements. Net new assets increased 37.0% to CHF 50.4 billion.

|Wealth Management
|-----------------

|Wealth Management reported Income from continuing operations before taxes of CHF 2,661 million for 2005, up CHF 79 million, or 3%, from 2004. Net revenues were CHF 7,125 million in 2005, up CHF 473 million, or 7%, compared to 2004, mainly driven by higher Commissions and fees, reflecting an increase in brokerage volumes and the level of Assets under management. Trading revenues also increased mainly due to improved revenues from higher client foreign exchange transaction volume. Net interest income was 4% higher, reflecting increases in asset and liability volumes, as well as higher liability margins, which were partially offset by pressure on the asset margins.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Provision for credit losses amounted to CHF 25 million compared to net releases of CHF 5 million in 2004.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Total operating expenses in 2005 were CHF 4,439 million, up CHF 364 million, or 9%, compared to 2004. This was mainly due to a 14% increase in Compensation and benefits, reflecting ongoing investments in strategic growth markets, including front-office recruitment and higher performance-related compensation expenses in line with the improved results. Other expenses increased 3%, mainly due to higher Commission expenses and project costs related to the implementation of the integrated banking strategy.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pre-tax income margin was 37.3%, 1.5 percentage points lower due to increased Total operating expenses and net new Provision for credit losses, offset in part by higher Net revenues. Assets under management were CHF 693.3 billion as of December 31, 2005, up CHF 125.5 billion, or 22.1%, compared to December 31, 2004. The main drivers of this growth were higher equity valuations, strong Net new assets inflows of CHF 42.8 billion and the impact of favorable foreign exchange-related movements. Net new assets grew at an annual rate of 7.5%, substantially exceeding the growth rate of 5.8% in 2004. Private Banking continued to achieve healthy Net new assets inflows from strategic key markets in Asia and the European onshore business, recording double-digit growth rates.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Gross margin on assets under management was 112.6 basis points in 2005, down 4.8 basis points from 2004 mainly related to the decline in the asset-based margin from the slower growth in underlying interest income compared to the growth in average Assets under management and the dilution effect from the strong growth in Net new assets during the year.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Corporate & Retail Banking
|--------------------------

|Corporate & Retail Banking reported Income from continuing operations before taxes of CHF 1,305 million for 2005, up CHF 170 million, or 15%, from 2004. Net revenues were CHF 3,370 million in 2005, up CHF 71 million, or 2%, compared to 2004, mainly driven by increases in Commissions and fees, reflecting higher asset-based fees and higher brokerage volumes, and an increase in Trading revenues. Net interest income remained stable as increases in asset and liability volumes as well as liability margins were offset by pressure on asset margins as a result of the low interest rate environment.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net releases of Provision for credit losses of CHF 96 million were recorded in 2005 compared to net new provisions of CHF 122 million in 2004, reflecting the favorable credit environment in 2005.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Total operating expenses were CHF 2,161 million in 2005, up CHF 119 million, or 6%, compared to 2004. This increase was driven by increases in salaries and related benefits as well as higher performance-related compensation expenses in line with the improved results. Other expenses were slightly lower compared to 2004, reflecting efficiency gains on infrastructure expenses, which more than offset project costs in 2005 related to the implementation of the integrated banking strategy.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pre-tax income margin was 38.7% in 2005, 4.3 percentage points higher than 2004, due mainly to the net release of Provision for credit losses in 2005 versus net new provisions in 2004. The Pre-tax return on average utilized economic capital in 2005 was 41.9%, up 7.1 percentage points compared to 2004, reflecting the decline in Average utilized economic capital, as the lending portfolio improved, and the change in Provision for credit losses.

|2006 compared to 2005
|---------------------

|Asset Management Income from continuing operations before taxes was CHF 508 million, a decrease of CHF 498 million, or 50%, compared to 2005. The decrease reflected lowerPrivate equity and other investment-related gains and higherTotal operating expenses, partly due to CHF 225 million of realignment costs in 2006.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In 2006, Asset Management launched a number of initiatives in line with its strategy to strengthen the business through repositioning franchises with low profitability, reshaping the product offering, improving investment and sales processes and reducing the overall cost base. The goal of the realignment is to put the US business on a solid and sustainable platform for future growth through a change in its investment approach in a number of its traditional asset management strategies. Additionally, the US business will focus on areas for future growth such as enhanced index, quantitative strategies and structured products, and other areas of strength, including alternative investments and core competencies in other equity and fixed income strategies. Asset Management exited from its retirement-related investment platform in Australia, and, in Japan, continues to refocus its business to import capabilities and products that exist in its global networks for both individual and institutional investors. Realignment costs in 2006 were CHF 225 million, including CHF 139 million of intangible asset impairments, severance costs of CHF 53 million and professional fees and other expenses.

|Asset Management continued to focus on strengthening its presence in key markets and building its investment platform in attractive, high-margin businesses. This was demonstrated in 2006 when Credit Suisse announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire, subject to local regulatory approval, a majority interest in Hedging-Griffo, a leading asset management company with a large and well-established client base. Hedging-Griffo manages CHF 9.2 billion in assets for high-net-worth individuals in Brazil and has increased these assets at an average growth rate of 38.5% over the past three years. The transaction is expected to close in the middle of 2007. The Group expects to acquire the remaining interests over a period of five years.

|In addition, as part of the strategy to expand Asset Management’s alternative investments business, Credit Suisse launched several growth initiatives through close collaboration with other firms with investment expertise in a variety of different asset classes and investment styles. These initiatives will enable Asset Management to grow its leading alternative investments business across a variety of new products, sectors and regions. This included a joint initiative with Ospraie Management, an investment partnership with Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company and joint ventures with China Renaissance Capital Group and General Electric Infrastructure (Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP)). GIP had its first important and high profile deal to acquire London City Airport together with AIG Financial Products Corporation, each owning 50%. As part of its strategy to develop its presence in Asia, Credit Suisse announced a joint venture in South Korea with Woori Asset Management, in which Credit Suisse acquired a 30% stake. Asset Management also expects to continue to increase the commitments it makes to private equity funds.

|Asset Management measures business performance based on Assets under management and Net new assets. Assets under management of CHF 669.9 billion as of December 31, 2006 increased CHF 80.5 billion, or 13.7%, from CHF 589.4 billion as of December 31, 2005, reflecting Net new assets of CHF 50.8 billion and market and foreign exchange-related movements of CHF 29.7 billion. These substantial net asset inflows demonstrate Asset Management’s asset gathering capabilities despite the realignment. Net new assets for 2006 included CHF 32.5 billion of Money market assets, CHF 15.3 billion of Alternative investment assets and CHF 9.4 billion of Balanced assets. The strong growth in Alternative investment assets reflects Asset Management’s strategy of continuing to strengthen its alternative investments business. Net asset inflows were partially offset by net outflows of CHF 7.0 billion in Equities, which were partially related to the realignment.

|Pre-tax income margin for 2006 was 17.8%, an 18.1 percentage point decrease compared to 2005, mainly driven by the significant increase in Total operating expenses and lowerPrivate equity and other investment-related gains.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Gross margin on assets under management was 45.3 basis points for 2006 compared to 54.5 basis points for 2005, largely reflecting the 28% decrease in Private equity and other investment-related gains. Gross margin on assets under management, excluding private equity and other investment-related gains, was 37.3 basis points for 2006 compared to 40.9 basis points for 2005, primarily as a result of the change in asset mix.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pre-tax return on average utilized economic capital was 44.7% in 2006 compared to 99.9% in 2005, reflecting higher position risk from growth initiatives in alternative investments.

|---------------------

|Asset Management reported Income from continuing operations before taxes of CHF 1,006 million in 2005, an increase of CHF 190 million, or 23%, compared to 2004.

In 2005, the Pre-tax income margin was 35.9%, an increase of 3.9 percentage points from 2004.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Asset Management reported Net revenues of CHF 2,801 million in 2005, an increase of CHF 253 million, or 10%, compared to 2004, reflecting higher Private equity and other investment-related gains, which are cyclical in nature and in 2005 were considered to be at the high end of the private equity cycle for Asset Management. Net revenues before private equity and other investment-related gains increased 4% from 2004 to CHF 2,103 million, due to the 8% increase in Asset Management revenues, which was in line with the development in Assets under management. This was partially offset by a CHF 62 million, or 24%, decrease in Private equity commissions and fees as a result of the decreasing fee base of maturing funds and higher interest charges reflecting the launch of new funds.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Total operating expenses in 2005 increased CHF 63 million, or 4%, to CHF 1,795 million from 2004, primarily reflecting higher professional fees in the alternative investments business as a result of consulting fees paid to managers who continue to assist in managing portfolios of certain funds that were spun off. Compensation and benefits expense was CHF 947 million in 2005, flat compared to 2004, reflecting higher performance-related compensation offset by lower severance costs.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pre-tax income margin for 2005 was 35.9%, a 3.9 percentage point increase compared to 2004, mainly driven by the strong Private equity and other investment-related gains.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Gross margin on assets under management was 54.5 basis points in 2005, a 0.1 basis point decrease from 2004. Excluding Private equity and other investment-related gains, Gross margin on assets under management was 40.9 basis points in 2005 and 43.4 basis points in 2004. In both cases, the decrease primarily reflected the change in asset mix as a result of the Money market assets transfer from Investment Banking.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pre-tax return on average utilized economic capital was 99.9% in 2005 compared to 94.7% in 2004, primarily reflecting higher Private equity and other investment-related gains, which more than offset the increased capital utilization due to the growth and higher valuations in the alternative investments businesses.

|2006 compared to 2005
|---------------------

|Income from continuing operations before taxes, minority interests, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of accounting changes was CHF 3,245 million for 2006, an increase of CHF 2,415 million, or 291%, compared to CHF 830 million in 2005. The increase primarily reflected the first-time consolidation in 2006 of additional private equity funds and other entities in which Credit Suisse does not have a significant economic interest in such revenues and expenses, and a charge in 2005 of CHF 630 million resulting from a change in Credit Suisse’s accounting for share-based compensation awards subject to a non-competition provision that have scheduled vesting beyond an employee’s eligibility for early retirement. This non-cash charge represented the acceleration of compensation expense for share-based awards granted in 2005, principally to employees in the Investment Banking and Asset Management segments, that otherwise would have been recorded generally over vesting periods of three to five years. Excluding this charge and the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities, the Income from continuing operations before taxes, minority interests, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of accounting changes would have been a loss of CHF 315 million in 2006 compared to a loss of CHF 582 million in 2005, reflecting CHF 128 million of charges in 2005 relating to the integration of the banking businesses.

|Compensation and benefits in 2005 were impacted by the CHF 630 million charge for the change in Credit Suisse’s accounting for share-based compensation awards. Excluding this charge and the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities, Income from continuing operations before taxes, minority interests, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of accounting changes would have been a loss of CHF 582 million in 2005, compared to a loss of CHF 259 million in 2004. 2005 results included a CHF 128 million expense relating to the integration of the banking businesses. Net revenues in 2004 included a CHF 157 million loss on the sale of Credit Suisse’s stake in Warburg Pincus.

|Assets under management
|-----------------------

|Assets under management comprise assets which are placed with Credit Suisse entities for investment purposes and include discretionary and advisory counterparty assets.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Discretionary assets are assets for which the customer fully transfers the discretionary power to a Credit Suisse entity with a management mandate. Advisory assets include assets placed with Credit Suisse where the client is provided access to investment advice but retains discretion over investment decisions.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Compared to December 31, 2005, Credit Suisse’s Assets under management increased CHF 165.7 billion, or 12.6%, as of December 31, 2006. Private Banking recorded an increase in Assets under management of CHF 102.7 billion, or 12.3%, from December 31, 2005, due to strong Net new asset growth and higher equity valuations, offset in part by the adverse impact of foreign exchange-related movements. Asset Management recorded an increase of CHF 80.5 billion, or 13.7%, in Assets under management from December 31, 2005, due to Net new assets of CHF 50.8 billion and market and foreign exchange-related movements of CHF 29.7 billion.

|Risk management
|---------------

|Overview
|--------

|Risk management principles
|--------------------------

|The prudent taking of risk is fundamental to the business of Credit Suisse Group. The primary objectives of risk management are to protect the financial strength and the reputation of the Group, while looking to ensure that capital is well deployed to support business activities and grow shareholder value. The Group’s risk management framework is based on the following principles, which apply universally across all businesses and risk types.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Protection of financial strength: Credit Suisse Group controls risk in order to limit the impact of potentially adverse events on the Group’s capital and income. The Group’s risk appetite is to be consistent with its financial resources.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Protection of reputation: The value of the Credit Suisse Group franchise depends on the Group’s reputation. Protecting a strong reputation is both fundamental and an overriding concern for all staff members.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Risk transparency: Risk transparency is essential so that risks are well understood by senior management and the Board of Directors and can be balanced against business goals.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Management accountability: The Group is organized into segments that own the comprehensive risks assumed through their operations. Management for each segment is responsible for the ongoing management of their respective risk exposures and earning a sufficient long-term return for the risks taken.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Independent oversight: Risk management is a structured process to identify, measure, monitor and report risk. The risk management and legal and compliance functions operate independently of the front office to ensure the integrity of the Group’s control processes. The risk management functions are responsible for implementing all relevant risk policies, developing tools to assist senior management to determine risk appetite and assessing the overall risk profile of the Group.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Risk management oversight

|Risk categories
|---------------

|The Group is exposed to many risks and differentiates between them using the following seven major risk categories:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Market risk – the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices and other relevant market rates and prices, such as commodity prices and volatilities;
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Credit risk – the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the creditworthiness of counterparties;
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Expense risk – the risk that the businesses are not able to cover their ongoing expenses with ongoing income subsequent to a severe crisis, excluding expense and income items already captured by the other risk categories;
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Liquidity and funding risk – the risk that the Group or one of its businesses is unable to fund assets or meet obligations at a reasonable or, in the case of extreme market disruptions, any price;
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Operational risk – the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events;
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Strategy risk – the risk that the business activities are not responsive to changes in industry trends; and
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Reputational risk – the risk that the Group’s market or service image declines.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|While most businesses are exposed to all risk types, their relative significance varies. Group-wide risk management and measurement approaches are applied where appropriate and meaningful.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Risk limits
|-----------

|A sound system of risk limits is fundamental to efficient control of the range of risks inherent in the business activities. The size of the limits reflects the Group’s risk appetite given the market environment, the business strategy and the financial resources available to absorb losses.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group uses an Economic Risk Capital (ERC) limit structure to limit overall position risk-taking. The level of risk incurred by the segments is further restricted by a variety of specific limits. For example, there are consolidated controls over trading exposures (Value-at-Risk (VaR)), the mismatch of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, private equity and seed money investments, and emerging market country exposures. Risk limits are allocated to lower organizational levels within the businesses, and numerous other limits are established to control specific risks, including a system of individual counterparty credit limits that is used to control concentration risks.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Economic risk capital
|---------------------

|Introduction
|------------

|Economic Risk Capital represents current market best practice for measuring and reporting all quantifiable risks. It is called economic risk capital because it measures risk in terms of economic realities rather than regulatory or accounting rules. Credit Suisse Group uses an economic risk capital model as a consistent and comprehensive tool for risk management, capital management and planning and performance measurement.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As the Group’s standard for assessing risk, ERC provides a strong framework for managing the Group’s risk profile on a consolidated basis and to assess aggregate risk appetite in relation to the financial resources. By providing a common terminology for risk across the Group, ERC has also increased risk transparency and knowledge-sharing across the Group. The ERC model is subject to regular methodology reviews to ensure it appropriately reflects the risk profile of our portfolio in the current market environment.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The development and usage of ERC methodologies and models has increased across the industry over recent years. In the absence of a standardized ERC approach, comparisons across firms may not be meaningful.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Concept
|-------

|The ERC model is designed to measure all quantifiable risks associated with the Group’s activities on a consistent and comprehensive basis. ERC is the economic capital needed to remain solvent and in business even under extreme market, business and operational conditions, given the institution’s target financial strength (i.e., long-term credit rating).
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|ERC is calculated separately for position risk, operational risk and expense risk. These three risk categories measure very different types of risk:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Position risk  the level of unexpected loss in economic value on the Group’s portfolio of positions over a one-year horizon that is exceeded with a given, small probability (1% for risk management purposes; 0.03% for capital management purposes).
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Operational risk  the level of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events over a one-year horizon that is exceeded with a small probability (0.03%). Estimating this type of ERC is inherently more subjective, and reflects both quantitative tools as well as senior management judgment.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Expense risk  the difference between expenses and revenues in a severe market event, exclusive of the elements captured by position risk and operational risk.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Position risk, operational risk and expense risk are used to determine the Group’s utilized economic capital.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Application
|-----------

|ERC represents Credit Suisse Group’s core top-level risk management tool. ERC is used to assess, monitor, report and limit risk exposures at many levels of the organization. The Board of Directors and senior management at the Group and the segments are regularly provided with ERC results, trends and ratios, together with supporting explanations to create risk transparency and to support senior management in managing risk.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group uses ERC in its capital allocation process and related performance measures. Moreover, ERC serves as a reference point for the structured assessment of the Group’s aggregate risk appetite in relation to its financial resources, recognizing that a comprehensive analysis must also take into account factors that are outside the scope of the ERC framework (for example, strategy, economic and competitive environment and external constraints such as those imposed by regulators or rating agencies).
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The ERC methodology is continually reviewed in order to make sure the model remains relevant as markets and business strategies evolve. If the ERC methodology changes based on these reviews, prior-period balances are restated in order to show meaningful trends.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Key position risk trends 2006
|-----------------------------

|Over the course of 2006, the 1-year, 99% position risk increased by 21% year-on-year. The key movements by segment were as follows:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Investment Banking +29%: The increase in position risk was largely driven by commercial real estate loan originations and increased syndication and bridge loan exposures. Smaller increases in emerging market exposures, interest rate risk on traded positions and commodity exposures also contributed to the overall Investment Banking increase.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Private Banking -8%: Private Banking position risk decreased over the year primarily due to improvements in the credit risk profile.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Asset Management +37%: An increase in funded private equity exposures in the latter half of 2006 drove the increase in Asset Management position risk.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Market risk
|-----------

|Overview
|--------

|Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices and other relevant market parameters, such as market volatilities. The Group defines its market risk as potential changes in fair values of financial instruments in response to market movements. A typical transaction may be exposed to a number of different market risks.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group devotes considerable resources to ensuring that market risk is comprehensively captured, accurately modeled and reported, and effectively managed. Trading and non-trading portfolios are managed at various organizational levels, from Credit Suisse Group overall down to specific business areas. Credit Suisse Group uses market risk measurement and management methods designed to meet or exceed industry standards. These include both general tools capable of calculating comparable exposures across the Group’s many activities as well as focused tools that can specifically model unique characteristics of certain business areas’ functions. The tools are used for internal market risk management, internal market risk reporting and external disclosure purposes. The principal measurement methodologies are VaR and scenario analysis. Additionally, the market risk exposures are also reflected in the Group’s ERC calculations. The risk management techniques and policies are regularly reviewed to ensure that they remain appropriate.

|Value-at-Risk
|-------------

|VaR measures the potential loss in terms of fair value changes over a given time interval under normal market conditions at a given confidence level. VaR as a concept is applicable for all financial risk types with valid regular price histories. Positions are aggregated by risk type rather than by product. For example, interest rate risk includes risk arising from money market and swap transactions, bonds, and interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and commodity options. The use of VaR allows the comparison of risk in different businesses, such as fixed income and equity, and also provides a means of aggregating and netting a variety of positions within a portfolio to reflect actual correlations and offsets between different assets.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Historical financial market rates and prices serve as a basis for the statistical VaR model underlying the potential loss estimation. Credit Suisse Group uses a ten-day holding period and a confidence level of 99% calculated using, in general, a rolling two-year history of market data to model the risk in its trading portfolios. These assumptions are compliant with the standards published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and other related international standards for market risk management. For some purposes, such as backtesting, disclosure and benchmarking with competitors, the resulting VaR figures are scaled down or calculated using one-day holding period values.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse has approval from the Swiss Federal Banking Commission, as well as from certain other regulators of its subsidiaries, to use its VaR model in the calculation of trading book market risk capital requirements. Credit Suisse continues to receive regulatory approval for ongoing enhancements to the methodology, and the model is subject to regular reviews by regulators and auditors.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Assumptions
|-----------

|Credit Suisse Group uses a historical simulation model for the majority of risk types and businesses within its trading portfolios. Where insufficient data is available for such an approach, an “extreme-move” methodology is used. The model is based on the profit and loss distribution resulting from the historical changes of market rates applied to evaluate the portfolio using, in general, a rolling two-year history. This methodology also avoids any explicit assumptions on correlation between risk factors. The VaR model uses assumptions and estimates that Credit Suisse Group believes are reasonable, but different assumptions or estimates could result in different estimates of VaR.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Limitations
|-----------

|As a risk measure, VaR only quantifies the potential loss on a portfolio under normal market conditions. It is not intended to cover losses associated with unusually severe market movements (these are intended to be covered by scenario analysis). VaR also assumes that the price data from the recent past can be used to predict future events. If future market conditions differ substantially from past market conditions, then the risk predicted by VaR may be too conservative or too liberal.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Scenario analysis
|-----------------

|Credit Suisse Group regularly performs scenario analysis for all of its business areas exposed to market risk to estimate the potential economic loss that could arise from extreme, but plausible, stress events. The scenario analysis calculations performed are specifically tailored towards their respective risk profile. In addition, to identify areas of risk concentration and potential vulnerability to stress events across Credit Suisse Group, the Group has developed a set of scenarios which are consistently applied across all business areas. Key scenarios include significant movements in interest rates, equity prices and exchange rates, as well as adverse changes in counterparty default rates. The scenario analysis framework also considers the impact of various scenarios on key capital adequacy measures such as regulatory capital and economic capital ratios. The Board of Directors and senior management are regularly provided with scenario analysis estimates, scenario analysis trend information and supporting explanations to create transparency on key risk exposures and to support senior management in managing risk.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Assumptions
|-----------

|Scenario analysis estimates the impact that could arise from extreme, but plausible, stress events by applying predefined scenarios to the relevant portfolios. Scenarios are typically defined in light of past economic or financial market stress periods, but statistical analysis is also used to define the less severe scenarios in the framework.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Limitations
|-----------

|Scenario analysis estimates the loss that could arise if specific events in the economy or in financial markets were to occur. Seldom do past events recur in exactly the same way. Therefore, it is necessary to use business experience to choose a set of meaningful scenarios and to assess the scenario results in light of current economic and market conditions.

|Trading portfolios
|------------------

|Risk measurement and management
|-------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group assumes market risk in its trading portfolios primarily through the trading activities of the Investment Banking segment. The Group’s other segments also engage in trading activities, but to a much lesser extent.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For the purposes of this disclosure, VaR is used for the trading portfolio, which includes those financial instruments treated as part of the trading book for Group regulatory capital purposes. This classification of assets as trading is done for purposes of analyzing the Group’s market risk exposure, not for financial statement purposes.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group is active in most of the principal trading markets of the world, using the majority of the common trading and hedging products, including derivatives such as swaps, futures, options and structured products (which are customized transactions using combinations of derivatives and executed to meet specific client or proprietary needs). As a result of its broad participation in products and markets, the Group’s trading strategies are correspondingly diverse and variable, and exposures are generally spread across a diversified range of risk factors and locations.

|Development of trading portfolio risks
|--------------------------------------

|The table below shows the trading-related market risk exposure for Credit Suisse Group, as measured by scaled one-day, 99% VaR. As Credit Suisse Group measures trading book VaR for internal risk management purposes using the US dollar as the base currency, the VaR figures were translated into Swiss francs using the respective daily currency translation rates. VaR estimates are computed separately for each risk type and for the whole portfolio using the historical simulation methodology. Diversification benefit reflects the net difference between the sum of the 99th percentile loss for each individual risk type and for the total portfolio.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group’s one-day, 99% VaR as of December 31, 2006, was CHF 89 million, compared to CHF 87 million as of December 31, 2005. The change in VaR was caused primarily by increased foreign exchange VaR due to increased foreign exchange exposures, partly offset by an increase in the diversification benefit across risk types, reflecting a more even spread of risks across businesses. The average VaR for Credit Suisse Group was CHF 80 million for 2006, compared to CHF 66 million for 2005. The increase in average VaR was driven primarily by an increase in equity and foreign exchange exposures, partly offset by an increase in the diversification benefit across risk types.

|VaR results and distribution of trading revenues
|------------------------------------------------

|Various techniques are used to assess the accuracy of the VaR model used for trading portfolios, including backtesting. Backtesting of the trading portfolio is performed at various organizational levels, from Credit Suisse Group overall down to more specific business areas. The backtesting process compares daily backtesting profit and loss to VaR calculated using a one-day holding period. Backtesting profit and loss is a subset of the actual trading revenues and includes only the profit and loss effects due to changes in financial market variables such as interest rates, equity prices, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices on the previous night’s positions. It excludes such items as fees, commissions, certain provisions and any trading subsequent to the previous night’s positions. It is appropriate to compare this measure with VaR for backtesting purposes, since VaR assesses only the potential change in position value due to overnight movements in financial market variables. An accurate one-day, 99% VaR model should have no more than four backtesting exceptions per year. A backtesting exception occurs when the daily loss exceeds the daily VaR estimate.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group had four backtesting exceptions in 2006, after a period of two years with no exceptions. The four backtesting exceptions occurred during the second quarter of 2006 and were driven by equity and foreign exchange market volatility during May 2006. During this period, equity and foreign exchange market volatility was significantly larger than the volatility reflected in the VaR model, which uses historical data on a preceding two-year rolling basis. The VaR model is subject to regular assessment and evaluation to seek to maintain accuracy given current market conditions and positions.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The following histogram compares the trading revenues for 2006 with those for 2005. The trading revenues shown in this graph are the actual daily trading revenues, which include not only backtesting profit and loss but also such items as fees, commissions, certain provisions and the profit and loss effects associated with any trading subsequent to the previous night’s positions. The dispersion of trading revenues indicates the day-to-day volatility in the Group’s trading activities.

|Non-trading portfolios
|----------------------

|Risk measurement and management
|-------------------------------

|The market risks associated with the Group’s non-trading portfolios primarily relate to the banking books of the banking businesses, which include: asset and liability mismatch exposures, equity instrument participations and investments in bonds and money market instruments. All of the Group’s businesses and the Corporate Center have non-trading portfolios that carry some market risks.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The market risks associated with the non-trading portfolios are measured, monitored and limited using several tools, including ERC, scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis and VaR. For the purpose of this disclosure, the aggregated market risks associated with the non-trading portfolios of Credit Suisse Group are measured using sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis for the non-trading activities measures the amount of potential change in economic value resulting from specified hypothetical shocks to market factors. It is not a measure for the potential impact on reported earnings in the current period, since the non-trading activities generally are not marked to market through earnings. Real estate investments and foreign exchange translation risks are not included in the following analysis. As a result of the sale of Winterthur in December 2006, figures for December 31, 2005 have been restated on a consistent basis to December 31, 2006 figures.

|Development of non-trading portfolio risks
|------------------------------------------

|Equity risk on non-trading positions is measured using sensitivity analysis that estimates the potential change in value resulting from a 10% decline in the equity markets of developed nations and a 20% decline in the equity markets of emerging market nations. Credit Suisse Group’s non-trading equity portfolio includes positions in hedge funds and other instruments that may not be strongly correlated with general equity markets. The estimated impact for Credit Suisse Group would be a decrease of approximately CHF 454 million in the value of the non-trading portfolio as of December 31, 2006 compared to a decrease of approximately CHF 367 million in the value of the non-trading portfolio as of December 31, 2005. The main reason for the change was increased exposure to hedge funds and private equity investments.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Interest rate risk on non-trading positions is measured using sensitivity analysis that estimates the potential change in value resulting from a 50 basis point decline in the interest rates of developed nations and a 200 basis point decline in the interest rates of emerging market nations. The estimated impact for Credit Suisse Group would be an increase of approximately CHF 131 million in the value of the non-trading portfolio as of December 31, 2006 compared to an increase of approximately CHF 24 million in the value of the non-trading portfolio as of December 31, 2005. The main reason for the change was an increase in treasury positions benefiting from a reduction in interest rates.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Foreign exchange risk on non-trading positions is measured using sensitivity analysis that estimates the potential change in value resulting from a 10% strengthening of the Swiss franc against developed nation currencies and a 20% strengthening of the Swiss franc against emerging market nation currencies. The estimated impact for Credit Suisse Group would be an increase of approximately CHF 82 million in the value of the non-trading portfolio as of December 31, 2006 compared to an increase of approximately CHF 30 million in the value of the non-trading portfolio as of December 31, 2005. The change was driven by increased foreign exchange exposures in the Private Banking and Investment Banking divisions.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Commodity risk on non-trading positions is measured using sensitivity analysis that estimates the potential change in value resulting from a 20% weakening in commodity prices. The estimated impact for Credit Suisse Group would be a decrease of approximately CHF 1 million in the value of the non-trading portfolio as of December 31, 2006 compared to a decrease of approximately CHF 3 million in the value of the non-trading portfolio as of December 31, 2005. The relatively insignificant impact is due to the current size of commodity exposures in the non-trading portfolio.

|Credit risk
|-----------

|Definition of credit risk
|-------------------------

|Credit risk is the possibility of a loss being incurred as the result of a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations. In the event of a default, a bank generally incurs a loss equal to the amount owed by the debtor, less any recoveries resulting from foreclosure, liquidation of collateral or the restructuring of the debtor company.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The majority of Credit Suisse Group’s credit risk is concentrated in its Investment Banking and Private Banking segments. The credit risks taken on by Private Banking are usually collateralized. Credit risk exists within lending products, commitments and letters of credit, and results from counterparty exposure arising from derivative, foreign exchange and other transactions.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit risk management approach
|-------------------------------

|Effective credit risk management is a structured process to assess, quantify, price, monitor and manage risk on a consistent basis. This requires careful consideration of proposed extensions of credit, the setting of specific limits, diligent ongoing monitoring during the life of the exposure, active use of credit mitigation tools and a disciplined approach to recognizing credit impairment.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|This credit risk management framework is regularly refined and covers all banking business areas that are exposed to credit risk. The framework is designed to cover virtually all of the credit exposures in the banking business and comprises seven core components:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– An individual counterparty and country rating system;
|-------------------------------------------------------

|– A transaction rating system;
|------------------------------

|– A counterparty credit limit system;
|-------------------------------------

|– Country and regional concentration limits;
|--------------------------------------------

|– A risk-based pricing methodology;
|-----------------------------------

|– Active credit portfolio management; and
|-----------------------------------------

|– A credit risk provisioning methodology.
|-----------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group evaluates credit risk through a credit request and approval process, ongoing credit and counterparty monitoring and a credit quality review process. Experienced credit officers analyze credit requests and assign internal ratings based on their analysis and evaluation of the client’s creditworthiness and the type of credit transaction. The analysis emphasizes a forward-looking approach, concentrating on economic trends and financial fundamentals. In addition, analysts make use of peer analysis, industry comparisons and other quantitative tools. The final rating also requires the consideration of qualitative factors relating to the counterparty, its industry and management. Credit Suisse Group has established a counterparty credit risk classification system with which counterparties are rated and classified on a regular basis. This system affords consistency in: (i) statistical and other credit risk analysis; (ii) credit risk monitoring; (iii) risk-adjusted performance measurement; and (iv) economic risk capital usage/allocation. It is also used for certain financial accounting purposes.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Each counterparty that generates a potential or actual credit risk exposure is assigned a risk rating. Based on the structure of each transaction, an estimate of expected loss in the event of a counterparty default is also assigned. The counterparty credit rating is used in combination with credit (or credit equivalent) exposure and the loss given default assumption to estimate the potential credit loss. These inputs allow Credit Suisse Group to price transactions involving credit risk more accurately, based on risk/return estimates. Pricing and the terms of the credit extension are sensitive to many of the credit risk factors described in this section, and are intended to reflect more accurately the situation of the borrower as well as Credit Suisse Group’s interests and priorities in negotiating the extension of credit.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Senior credit managers make credit decisions on a transaction-by-transaction basis, determined by levels appropriate to the amount and complexity of the transactions, as well as based on the overall exposures to counterparties and their related entities. These approval authority levels are set out within the governing principles of the legal entities.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A system of individual credit limits is used to manage individual counterparty credit risk. Other limits are also established to address concentration issues in the portfolio, including a comprehensive set of country and regional limits and limits for certain products. Credit exposures to individual counterparties, industry segments or product groupings and adherence to the related limits are monitored by credit officers, industry analysts and other relevant specialists. In addition, credit risk is regularly supervised by credit and risk management committees taking current market conditions and trend analysis into consideration. Credit Suisse Group regularly analyzes its industry diversification and concentration in selected areas.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A rigorous credit quality review process has been established to provide an early identification of possible changes in the creditworthiness of clients and includes regular asset and collateral quality reviews, business and financial statement analysis and relevant economic and industry studies. Other key factors considered in the review process include current and projected business and economic conditions, historical experience, regulatory requirements and concentrations of credit volume by industry, country, product and counterparty rating. Regularly updated watch-lists and review meetings are used for the identification of counterparties where adverse changes in creditworthiness could occur due to events such as announced mergers, earnings weakness and lawsuits.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The review process culminates in a quarterly determination of the appropriateness of allowances for credit losses. A systematic provisioning methodology is used to identify potential credit risk-related losses. Impaired transactions are classified as potential problem exposure, non-performing exposure or noninterest-earning exposure and the exposures are generally managed within credit recovery units. The risk management committees of Credit Suisse Group determine the adequacy of allowances, taking into consideration whether the levels are sufficient for credit losses and whether allowances can be released or if they should be increased.

|Ratings and risk mitigation
|---------------------------

|Additional information on the lending portfolio (loans and undrawn irrevocable credit facilities) of Credit Suisse Group distributed across internal rating classifications, both before and after risk mitigation, is presented below. The internal rating scale is benchmarked to the external rating agencies utilizing the historical probability of default associated with external ratings. The relationship between the probability of default and external agency ratings is reviewed annually and adjustments are made to calibrate the internal rating classification to the assumed probability of default in the external ratings. In 2006, the internal rating models in Private Banking were significantly expanded to provide more robust and granular expectations of the probability of default. These improvements, together with adjustments to the mapping of the probability of default onto external ratings, resulted in a shift of lending exposures, particularly from BBB to BB.

|Credit Suisse Group actively manages its credit exposure utilizing credit hedges and collateral (cash and marketable securities) for risk mitigation. Credit hedges represent the notional exposure that has been transferred to other market counterparties, generally through the use of credit default swaps. Credit hedges are not available for many of its Private Banking counterparties; however, a large portion of the Private Banking lending portfolio is secured with collateral that can be readily liquidated, primarily cash and marketable securities. The tables below illustrate the effects of risk mitigation on loans and undrawn irrevocable credit facilities.

|Loss given default
|------------------

|The tables below present loans, net of risk mitigation, of Credit Suisse Group spread across loss given default (LGD) buckets. LGD represents the expectation of the extent of loss on a transaction should default occur and takes into account structure, collateral, seniority of the claim and in certain areas, the type of counterparty. LGD estimates have been developed separately by Investment Banking and Private Banking based on historical experience. The concentration in BBB- and BB-rated counterparties with low loss given default exposure largely reflects the Private Banking residential mortgage business, which is highly collateralized. Over half of net loans in Investment Banking are senior unsecured loans, which have an expected LGD of 55%.

|Non-performing loans
|--------------------

|A loan is considered impaired when the Group believes it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A loan is classified as non-performing when the contractual payments of principal and/or interest are in arrears for 90 days. A loan can also be classified as non-performing if the contractual payments of principal and/or interest are less than 90 days past due, based on the judgment of the respective credit officer. Credit Suisse Group continues to accrue interest for collection purposes; however, a corresponding provision against the accrual is booked through the consolidated statement of income. In addition, for any accrued but unpaid interest at the date the loan is deemed non-performing, a corresponding provision is booked against the accrual through the consolidated statement of income. At the time a loan is deemed non-performing and on a periodic basis, the remaining principal is evaluated for collectibility and an allowance is established for any shortfall between the net recoverable amount and the remaining principal balance.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A loan can be further downgraded to noninterest-earning when the collection of interest is in such a doubtful state that further accrual of interest is deemed inappropriate. At that time and on a periodic basis going forward, any unreserved remaining principal balance is evaluated for collectibility and an additional provision is established as required. A write-off of a loan occurs when it is determined that there is no possibility to recover the principal. Write-offs also occur due to sales, settlements or restructurings of loans or when uncertainty as to the repayment of either principal or accrued interest exists.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Generally, a loan may be restored to performing status when all delinquent principal and interest payments become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and certain performance criteria are met. These policies are applied worldwide.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Total impaired loans, gross declined CHF 1.2 billion for Credit Suisse Group in 2006, as Total non-performing loans declined CHF 576 million and Total other impaired loans declined CHF 612 million. This reduction was a result of the continued favorable credit environment as well as continued settlements and recoveries.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Potential problem loans
|-----------------------

|As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Group had Potential problem loans amounting to CHF 517 million and CHF 1.1 billion, respectively. These loans are considered potential problem loans because, although interest payments are being made, doubt exists as to the timing and/or certainty of the repayment of contractual principal. These loans are classified as impaired.

|Credit provisions
|-----------------

|Credit Suisse Group maintains valuation allowances on loans that it considers adequate to absorb losses arising from the existing credit portfolio. Valuation allowances are deducted from total assets, while provisions are included in total liabilities. The Group provides for credit losses based on a regular and detailed analysis of every counterparty, taking collateral value into consideration. If uncertainty exists as to the repayment of either principal or interest, a valuation allowance is either created or adjusted accordingly. Credit provisions are reviewed on a quarterly basis by senior management.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In determining the amount of the credit provisions, loans are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and the following factors are considered:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The financial standing of a customer based on financial and business information, including a realistic assessment of the likelihood of repayment of the loan within an acceptable period of time considering the net present value of future cash flows;
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The extent of the Group’s other commitments to the same customer;
|-------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The realizable fair value of any collateral for the loans;
|------------------------------------------------------------

|– The recovery rate; and
|------------------------

|– The costs associated with obtaining repayment and realization of any such collateral.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Judgment is exercised in determining the extent of the valuation allowance and is based on management’s evaluation of the risk in the portfolio, current economic conditions, recent loss experience, and credit and geographic concentration trends. Vulnerable sectors continue to be tracked and monitored closely, with active management leading to the requirement of collateral, the purchase of credit protection facilities and/or the tightening of credit terms or maturities where appropriate.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Loan valuation allowances and provisions for inherent credit losses
|-------------------------------------------------------------------

|In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (SFAS 5), the inherent loss allowance is estimated for all loans not specifically identified as impaired, which on a portfolio basis are considered to contain probable inherent loss. Inherent losses in the consumer portfolio are determined by applying a historical loss experience, adjusted to reflect current market conditions, to unimpaired homogeneous pools based on risk rating and product type. Commercial loans are segregated by risk, industry or country rating in order to estimate the inherent losses. Inherent losses on loans and lending-related commitments are estimated based on historical loss and recovery experience and recorded in valuation allowances and provisions. A provision for inherent loss for off-balance sheet lending related exposure (contingent liabilities and irrevocable commitments) is also determined, using a methodology similar to that used for the loan portfolio.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Summary of loan valuation allowance experience
|----------------------------------------------

|Net reductions of the loan valuation allowance in 2006 were CHF 128 million, compared to net reductions of CHF 134 million in 2005. Net reductions of the loan valuation allowance in 2006 were a result of the favorable credit environment, the release of valuation allowances no longer required and CHF 51 million due to discontinued operations. While the credit environment is likely to remain favorable in the near term, the Group does not expect these benign conditions to continue.

|Liquidity and funding risk
|--------------------------

|Liquidity and funding risk is defined as the risk that the Group will not be able to fund assets or meet obligations at a reasonable price or, in the case of extreme market disruptions, at any price. The funding process is centralized within Global Treasury, which is responsible for liquidity, funding and capital management. In addition, liquidity and funding risks, policies and practices are overseen by CARMC.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group manages its funding requirements based on business needs, regulatory requirements, rating agency criteria, tax, capital, liquidity and other considerations. Structures and processes are in place to manage the relevant liquidity risks and to ensure appropriate liquidity profiles under various stress scenarios. In addition, Credit Suisse has established a three-stage framework for contingency planning, including the specific actions that would be taken in the event of a liquidity crisis.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Operational risk
|----------------

|Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. The Group’s primary aim is the early identification, recording, assessment, monitoring, prevention and mitigation of operational risks, as well as timely and meaningful management reporting. Where appropriate, the Group transfers operational risks to third-party insurance companies.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Operational risk is inherent in most aspects of the Group’s activities and comprises a large number of disparate risks. While market and credit risk are often chosen for the prospect of gain, operational risk is normally accepted as a necessary consequence of doing business. In comparison to market or credit risk, the sources of operational risk are difficult to identify comprehensively and the amount of risk is also intrinsically difficult to measure. The Group therefore manages operational risk differently from market and credit risk. The Group believes that effective management of operational risks requires a common bank-wide framework with ownership residing with the management responsible for the relevant business process. Additionally, the Group has established a central team within the Chief Risk Officer area that focuses on the coordination of consistent policy, tools and practices throughout Credit Suisse for the management, measurement, monitoring and reporting of relevant operational risks. This team is also responsible for the overall operational risk framework, measurement methodology and capital calculations. Knowledge and experience are shared throughout the Group to maintain a coordinated approach.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Within the Group, each individual business area and management level takes responsibility for its own operational risks and provides adequate resources and procedures for the management of those risks. Operational risk is thus controlled through a network of controls, procedures, reports and responsibilities. In addition to the quarterly firm-level CARMC meetings covering operational risk, operational risk exposures are discussed at divisional risk management committees, which have senior staff representatives from all the relevant functions. Credit Suisse Group utilizes a number of firm-wide tools for the management, measurement, monitoring and reporting of operational risk. These include: self-assessments; the collection, reporting and analysis of internal and external loss data; and key risk indicator reporting.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group has employed the same methodology to calculate ERC for operational risk since 2000, and plans to use a similar methodology for the Advanced Measurement Approach under the Basel II Accord. This methodology is based upon the identification of a number of key risk scenarios that describe all of the major operational risks that the Group faces. Groups of senior staff review each scenario and discuss the likelihood of occurrence and the potential severity of loss. Internal and external loss data, along with certain business environment and internal control factors (for example, self-assessment results and key risk indicators) are considered as part of this process. Based on the output from these meetings, the Group enters the scenario probabilities and severities into an event model that generates a loss distribution. Insurance mitigation is included in the capital assessment where appropriate, by considering the level of insurance coverage for each scenario, incorporating haircuts as appropriate. Based on the loss distribution, the level of capital required to cover operational risk can then be calculated.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Legal risk
|----------

|The Group faces significant legal risks in its segments and business areas. The financial services industry is operating in a challenging legal and regulatory environment with a high level of scrutiny from regulators and clients around the world. The volume and amount of damages claimed in litigation, and the penalties and fines sought by regulators against financial services firms, are increasing substantially.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Legal risks in the investment banking business include, among other things, disputes over the terms of trades and other transactions in which the Group acts as principal; potential liability under securities law or other law for materially false or misleading statements made in connection with transactions in which the Group acts as underwriter, placement agent or financial adviser; potential liability for the “fairness opinions” and other advice the Group provides to participants in corporate transactions; disputes over the terms and conditions of complex trading arrangements; disputes over sales and trading practices; and disputes concerning the adequacy or enforceability of documents relating to some of the Group’s transactions. The Group faces the possibility that counterparties in complex or risky trading transactions will claim that the Group improperly failed to inform them of the risks or that they were not authorized or permitted to enter into these transactions with the Group and that their obligations to the Group are not enforceable. The Group is also subject to claims arising from disputes with employees for, among other things, discrimination or harassment. These risks often may be difficult to assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude often remain unknown for substantial periods of time.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For more information on legal risks which the Group faces, see Item 3 “Key Information – Risk factors” and Item 4 “Information on the company – Regulation and supervision” in the Supplemental Information 2006.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group seeks to minimize legal risk through the adoption of compliance and other policies and procedures, continual refinement of controls over business practices and behavior, extensive employee training sessions, the use of appropriate legal documentation and the involvement of the legal and compliance department and outside legal counsel.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Changes in laws, rules or regulations affecting the Group’s operations, or in the interpretation or enforcement of such laws, rules and regulations, may adversely affect its results. The Group may be materially affected not only by regulations applicable to it as a financial services company, but also by regulations of general application.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Reputational risk
|-----------------

|Credit Suisse Group’s policy is to avoid any action or transaction that brings with it a potentially unacceptable level of risk of damage to Credit Suisse Group’s reputation.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Reputational risks may arise from a variety of sources, including the nature or purpose of a proposed transaction, the identity or nature of a potential client, the regulatory or political climate in which the business will be transacted or significant public attention surrounding the transaction itself. Where the presence of these or other factors gives rise to potential reputational risk for Credit Suisse Group, the relevant business proposal is required to be submitted to the Reputational Risk Review Process. This involves a vetting of the proposal by senior management, and its subsequent referral to one of the Reputational Risk Approvers, each of whom is independent of the business segments and who has authority to approve, reject, or impose conditions on Credit Suisse Group’s participation.

|Corporate governance
|--------------------

|Introduction
|------------

|The importance of corporate governance
|--------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group’s corporate governance policies and procedures comply with internationally accepted standards of corporate governance. The Group is committed to safeguarding the interests of its stakeholders and recognizes the importance of good corporate governance in achieving this objective. The Group knows that transparent disclosure of its organizational and management structure as well as other aspects of its corporate governance helps stakeholders to assess the quality of the Group and its management and assists investors in their investment decisions.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Complying with rules and regulations
|------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group adheres to the principles set out in the Swiss Code of Best Practice. In connection with its primary listing on the SWX Swiss Exchange, it is subject to the SWX Directive on Information Relating to Corporate Governance. Credit Suisse Group’s shares are also listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the form of American Depositary Shares. As a result, the Group is subject to certain US rules and regulations. Moreover, the Group adheres to the NYSE’s Corporate Governance rules (NYSE rules), with a few exceptions where the rules are not applicable to foreign private issuers such as Credit Suisse Group.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The following are the significant differences between the Credit Suisse Group’s corporate governance standards and the corporate governance standards applicable to US domestic issuers listed on the NYSE:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Approval of employee benefit plans: the NYSE rules require shareholder approval of the establishment of, and material revisions to, all equity compensation plans. The definition of “equity compensation plans” covers plans or other arrangements that provide for the delivery to employees or directors of either newly issued securities or securities acquired by the issuer in the secondary market. The Group complies with Swiss law, which requires that shareholders approve the creation of the conditional capital used to set aside shares for employee benefit plans and other equity compensation plans but does not require shareholders to approve the terms of those plans.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Risk Assessment and Risk Management: the NYSE rules allocate responsibility for the discussion of guidelines and policies governing the process by which risk assessment and risk management is undertaken to the Audit Committee, while the Group’s corporate governance standards allocate these duties to the separate Risk Committee. While the Group’s Audit Committee members satisfy the NYSE independence requirements, the Group’s Risk Committee may include non-independent members.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Reporting: the NYSE rules require that certain board committees report specified information directly to shareholders, while under Swiss law only the Board of Directors reports directly to the shareholders, and the committees submit their reports to the full Board.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Appointment of the external auditor: the NYSE rules require the Audit Committee to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the External Auditor unless there is a conflicting requirement under home country law. Under Swiss law, the appointment of the External Auditor must be approved by the Group’s shareholders at the Annual General Meeting based on the proposal of the Board of Directors, which receives the advice and recommendation of the Audit Committee.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Corporate governance framework
|------------------------------

|The Group’s corporate governance policies and procedures are defined in a series of documents governing the organization and management of the company. The Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group has adopted a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines aimed at explaining and promoting an understanding of its governance structures. These guidelines form the basis of a sound corporate governance framework and refer to other documents that regulate aspects of governance in greater detail. Other important corporate governance documents, all of which can be downloaded from the Group’s website at www.credit-suisse.com/governance/en/, include:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Credit Suisse Group’s Articles of Association, which define the purpose of the business and its basic organizational framework;
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Credit Suisse Group’s Organizational Guidelines and Regulations, which define the responsibilities and sphere of authority of the various bodies within Credit Suisse Group, as well as the relevant reporting procedures;
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Credit Suisse Group’s Board of Directors Committee Charters, which define the duties and responsibilities of each committee; and
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Credit Suisse Group’s Code of Conduct, which lists 12 core ethical and performance-related values that are binding on all employees worldwide. The Code was first established in 1999 in an effort to ensure that all employees worldwide share a common set of values across the organization and to guide the Group’s efforts to inspire and maintain the trust and confidence of all its stakeholders. The Code of Conduct implements requirements stipulated in the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by including provisions on ethics for the Group’s Chief Executive Officer and the Group’s principal financial and accounting officers, or other persons performing similar functions. No waivers to the Code of Conduct have been made since its adoption. Information regarding any future amendments or waivers granted will be published on the Group’s website.

|Capital structure
|-----------------

|Credit Suisse Group’s total outstanding share capital as of December 31, 2006, was CHF 607,431,006.50, divided into 1,214,862,013 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.50 per share. Credit Suisse Group’s shares are listed on the SWX Swiss Exchange and in the form of American Depositary Shares on the NYSE. For details on the shareholder rights associated with the Credit Suisse Group shares, see the description provided below under “Shareholder rights.”
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For details of changes to the share capital occurring in the course of the business year and information as to the authorized and conditional capital and changes thereto during the year, see note 11 “Share capital, conditional and authorized capital of Credit Suisse Group” in the Notes to the parent company financial statements as well as in the Group’s Articles of Association (Articles 26, 26a-c and 27). For the two previous years’ information, reference is made to Credit Suisse Group’s 2005 Annual Report or the 2005 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

|For further information on employee compensation plans, including option plans, see note 24 “Employee share-based compensation and other benefits” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries issuing such instruments to the capital markets pursue independent hedging strategies.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Board of Directors
|------------------

|Membership and qualifications
|-----------------------------

|The Articles of Association provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of a minimum of seven members. The Board of Directors currently consists of 13 members. The Group believes that the size of the Board must be such that the committees can be staffed with qualified members, but, at the same time, the Board must be small enough to ensure an effective and rapid decision-making process. The members are elected individually for a period of three years and are eligible for re-election. There is no requirement in the Articles of Association for a staggered board. One year of office is understood to be the period of time from one ordinary Annual General Meeting (AGM) of shareholders to the close of the next ordinary AGM. While the Articles of Association do not provide for any age or term limitations, Credit Suisse Group’s Organizational Guidelines and Regulations specify that the members of the Board shall retire at the ordinary AGM in the year in which they reach the age of 70. The Group does not believe that imposing a term limitation for its Board members is appropriate. However, the Board considers the number of years a Board member has served on the Board when performing the annual independence review. Currently two members of the Board have served for more than nine years. The annual independence review did not conclude that the independence of the respective individuals would be impaired as a result of this tenure. None of the Group’s directors has a service contract with the Group or any of its subsidiaries providing for benefits upon termination of service.

|The Chairman’s and Governance Committee regularly considers the composition of the Board as a whole and in light of staffing requirements for the committees. The Chairman’s and Governance Committee recruits and evaluates candidates for Board membership based on a set of criteria established by the Committee. The Committee may also retain outside consultants with respect to the identification and recruitment of potential new Board members. In assessing candidates, the Chairman’s and Governance Committee considers the requisite skills and characteristics of Board members as well as the composition of the Board as a whole. Among other considerations, the Committee takes into account independence, diversity, age, skills and management experience in the context of the needs of the Board to fulfill its responsibilities. The Board also considers other activities and commitments of an individual in order to be satisfied that a proposed member of the Board can devote enough time to a Board position at Credit Suisse Group.

|Any newly appointed director participates in an orientation program to familiarize himself or herself with the Group’s organizational structure, strategic plans, significant financial, accounting and risk issues and other important matters. The orientation program is designed to take into account the new Board member’s individual background and level of experience in each specific area. Moreover, the program’s focus is aligned with any committee memberships of the person concerned. Board members are encouraged to engage in continuous training. From time to time, the Board or a committee of the Board may ask a specialist within the Group to speak about a specific topic at one of its meetings to improve the Board members’ understanding of emerging issues that already are or may become of particular importance to the Group’s business.

|Independence
|------------

|The Board currently consists solely of directors who have no executive functions within the Group. As of December 31, 2006, all but one member of the Board was independent. In its independence determination, the Board takes into account the factors set forth in the Organizational Guidelines and Regulations, the Committee Charters and applicable laws and listing standards. The Group’s independence standards are also periodically measured against other emerging best practice standards.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Chairman’s and Governance Committee performs an annual assessment of the independence of each Board member and reports its findings to the full Board for the final determination of independence of each individual member. In general, a director is considered independent if he or she is not, and has not been for the prior three years, employed as an executive officer of Credit Suisse Group or any of its subsidiaries, is not and has not been for the prior three years an employee or affiliate of the Group’s external auditor and does not maintain a material direct or indirect business relationship with Credit Suisse Group or any of its subsidiaries. Moreover, a Board member is not considered independent if he or she is, or has been at any time during the prior three years, part of an interlocking directorate in which a member of the Group Executive Board serves on the compensation committee of another company that employs the Board member. Board members with immediate family members who would not qualify as independent are also not considered independent. The Group’s definition of independence is in line with the NYSE definition. In addition to measuring Board members against the independence criteria, the Chairman’s and Governance Committee also considers whether there are any indications that other commitments of an individual prevent the person from devoting enough time to the Credit Suisse Group Board mandate.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Whether or not a relationship between Credit Suisse Group or any of its subsidiaries and a member of the Board is considered material depends in particular on the following factors:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– the volume and size of any transactions concluded in relation to the financial status and credit rating of the Board member concerned or the organization in which he or she is a partner, significant shareholder or executive officer;
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– the terms and conditions applied to such transactions in comparison to those applied to transactions with counterparties of a similar credit standing;
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– whether the transactions are subject to the same internal approval processes and procedures as transactions that are concluded with parties that are not related to a Board member;
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– whether the transactions are performed in the ordinary course of business; and
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– whether the transactions are structured in such a way and on such terms and conditions that the transaction could be concluded with a third party on comparable terms and conditions.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Credit Suisse Group, together with its subsidiaries, is a global financial services provider. Many of the members of the Board or companies associated with them maintain banking relations with the Group. All relationships with members of the Board or such companies are in the ordinary course of business, are entered into on an arm’s-length basis and are immaterial. For further information on relationships with members of the Board of Directors, see note 25 “Related parties” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Meetings
|--------

|In 2006, the Board held six full-day meetings in person. Furthermore, the Board held two additional meetings to address urgent matters. From time to time, the Board may also take certain urgent decisions via circular resolution. Such matters have usually been discussed at a previous Board meeting or are administrative in nature.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The members of the Board are expected to attend all or substantially all meetings of the Board and the committees on which they serve. All members of the Board are also expected to spend the necessary time outside these meetings needed to discharge their responsibilities appropriately. The Chairman calls the meeting with sufficient notice and prepares an agenda for each meeting. However, any other Board member has the right to call an extraordinary meeting, if deemed necessary. The Chairman has the discretion to invite members of management or others to attend the meetings. Generally, all members of the Group Executive Board and the Executive Board of the Bank attend the meetings to ensure effective interaction with the Board. At most meetings, the Board holds separate private sessions, without management present, to discuss particular issues. Minutes are kept of the proceedings and resolutions of the Board.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Meeting attendance
|------------------

|The members of the Board of Directors are expected to attend all or substantially all meetings of the Board and the committees on which they serve. The Chairman attends most committee meetings as a guest. In 2006, each member of the Board and its committees attended most of the scheduled meetings.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Board of Directors meetings: Eight meetings were held during the year. Nine members of the Board attended all meetings, one member of the Board attended at least 90% and three members attended at least 80% of the scheduled meetings.

|Chairman of the Board
|---------------------

|The Chairman of the Board coordinates the work of the Board and its committees and ensures that the Board members are provided with the information relevant for performing their duties. The Chairman has no executive function within the Group. However, he is actively involved in developing the strategic business plans and objectives of the Group. Furthermore, he works closely with the Chief Executive Officer in establishing succession plans for key management positions.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Chairman of the Board takes an active role in representing the Group to important investors, other stakeholders and the general public.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Board responsibilities
|----------------------

|In the Organizational Guidelines and Regulations, the Board delegates certain tasks to Board committees and delegates the management of the company and the preparation and implementation of Board resolutions to certain management bodies or executive officers to the extent permitted by law, in particular article 716a and 716b of the Swiss Code of Obligations, and Credit Suisse Group’s Articles of Association.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|With responsibility for the overall direction, supervision and control of the company, the Board regularly assesses the Group’s competitive position and approves its strategic and financial plans. At each meeting, the Board receives a status report on the financial results of the Group. In addition, on a quarterly (or more frequent) basis, the Board receives management information packages, which provide detailed information on the performance and financial status of the Group, as well as risk reports outlining recent developments and outlook scenarios. Management also provides the Board members with regular updates on key issues, as is deemed appropriate or requested. All members of the Board have access to all information concerning the Group. Should a member of the Board require information or wish to review Group documents outside a meeting, he or she can address this request to the Chairman of the Board.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Board also reviews and approves significant changes in the Group’s structure and organization and is actively involved in significant projects including acquisitions, divestitures, investments and other major projects. The Board and its committees are entitled, without consulting with management and at the expense of the Group, to engage independent legal, financial or other advisors – as they deem appropriate – with respect to any matters subject to their respective authority. The Board also performs a self-assessment once a year where it reviews its own performance and sets objectives and a work plan for the coming year.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Board Committees
|----------------

|The Board currently has four committees: the Chairman’s and Governance Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Risk Committee. The committee members are appointed for a term of one year.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|At each Board meeting, the committee chairmen report to the Board about their activities. In addition, the minutes of the committee meetings are accessible to all Board members.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Chairman’s and Governance Committee
|-----------------------------------

|The Chairman’s and Governance Committee consists of the Chairman of the Board, the chairmen of the committees of the Board and other members appointed by the Board. A majority of the committee’s members must be independent. Currently all members of the Chairman’s and Governance Committee are independent. The members are:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Walter B. Kielholz (Chairman)
|-------------------------------

|– Hans-Ulrich Doerig
|--------------------

|– Aziz R.D. Syriani
|-------------------

|– Peter F. Weibel
|-----------------

|
|

|The Chairman’s and Governance Committee has its own charter, which has been approved by the Board. It meets as often as required to discharge its responsibilities, generally about six times per year. The length of its meetings depends on the agenda, but they usually last approximately two hours. The Chairman may ask members of management or others to attend all or part of a meeting.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Chairman’s and Governance Committee acts as an advisor to the Chairman of the Board and discusses a broad variety of topics in preparation for Board meetings. In addition, the Chairman’s and Governance Committee is responsible for the development and occasional review of a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are then recommended to the full Board for approval. At least once annually, the Chairman’s and Governance Committee evaluates the independence of the Board members and reports its findings to the Board for final determination. The Chairman’s and Governance Committee is also responsible for identifying, evaluating, recruiting and nominating new Board members in accordance with the criteria established by the Committee, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, the Chairman’s and Governance Committee guides and supervises the Board’s annual performance assessment of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and the members of the Group Executive Board and the Executive Board of the Bank. The Chairman of the Board does not participate in the discussion of his own performance. The Chairman’s and Governance Committee proposes to the Board the appointment, promotion, dismissal or replacement of members of the Executive Boards of Credit Suisse Group and the Bank. The Chairman’s and Governance Committee also reviews succession plans for senior executive positions in the Group with the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Audit Committee
|---------------

|The Audit Committee consists of not less than three members, all of whom must be independent. The current members are:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Peter F. Weibel (Chairman)
|----------------------------

|– Jean Lanier
|-------------

|– Aziz R.D. Syriani
|-------------------

|– David W. Syz
|--------------

|
|

|The Audit Committee has its own charter, which has been approved by the Board. The members of the Audit Committee are subject to additional independence requirements, exceeding those that apply to other members of the Board. None of the Audit Committee members may be an affiliated person of the Group or may, directly or indirectly, accept any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from the Group other than their regular compensation as members of the Board and its committees. The Audit Committee charter stipulates that all Audit Committee members must be financially literate. In addition, they may not serve on the audit committee of more than two other companies, unless the Board deems that such membership would not impair their ability to serve on Credit Suisse Group’s Audit Committee. All of the Group’s Audit Committee members meet these criteria.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires disclosure about whether a member of the Audit Committee is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Board has determined that Peter F. Weibel is an audit committee financial expert.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee holds full-day or half-day meetings at least once each quarter, prior to the publication of the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Typically, the Audit Committee convenes for a number of additional meetings and conference calls throughout the year in order to adequately discharge its responsibilities. The regular meetings are attended by management representatives, as appropriate, the Head of Internal Audit and senior representatives of the external auditor. At most Audit Committee meetings, a private session with Internal Audit and the external auditors is scheduled to provide them with an opportunity to discuss issues with the Audit Committee without management being present. At some meetings, a joint session with the Risk Committee members is arranged at which topics of relevance to both committees are discussed.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight role by:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– monitoring and assessing the integrity of the consolidated financial statements as well as disclosures of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Group;
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– monitoring processes designed to ensure the Group’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– monitoring the qualifications, independence and performance of the external auditors and of Internal Audit; and
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– monitoring the adequacy of financial reporting processes and systems of internal accounting and financial controls.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|The Audit Committee is regularly informed about significant projects aimed at further improving such processes. It also oversees the work of the Group’s external auditor and pre-approves the retention of, and fees paid to, the external auditor for all audit and non-audit services. For this purpose, it has developed and approved a policy that is designed to help ensure that the independence of the external auditor is maintained at all times. The policy limits the scope of services that the external auditor may provide to Credit Suisse Group or any of its subsidiaries to audit and certain permissible types of non-audit services, including audit-related services, tax services and other services that have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee pre-approves all other services on a case-by-case basis. The external auditor is required to report periodically to the Audit Committee about the scope of the services it has provided and the fees for the services it has performed to date. Furthermore, the Audit Committee has established procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding the accounting, internal controls or auditing matters including a so-called whistleblower hotline to provide the option to report complaints on an anonymous basis. The Audit Committee performs a self-assessment once a year where it reviews its own performance against the responsibilities listed in the charter and the committee’s objectives and determines any special focus objectives for the coming year.

Other duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include reviewing newly established compensation plans or amendments to existing plans and recommending them to the Board for approval. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee decides on the attendance of management or others at the committee meetings.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Compensation Committee is assisted in its work by external legal counsel and an independent global compensation consulting firm. Information on the compensation approach, principles and objectives of the Group can be found in the section entitled “Compensation” below. The Compensation Committee performs a self-assessment once a year where it reviews its own performance against the responsibilities listed in the charter and the committee’s objectives and determines any special focus objectives for the coming year.

The Risk Committee approves selected risk limits and makes recommendations to the Board regarding all its risk-related responsibilities, including the review of major risk management and capital adequacy requirements.

|Compensation
|------------

|Compensation approach, principles and objectives
|------------------------------------------------

|In addition to the following, for further information on the funding and expensing of share-based compensation, see note 24 “Employee share-based compensation and other benefits” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements. For information on compensation for the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Board, see note 25 “Related parties” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our approach to compensation
|----------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group’s approach to compensation is designed to recognize excellence, encourage personal contribution and professional development and align the interests of employees and shareholders. This is a key part of our plan to develop our human capital as we implement our strategy. Compensation is strongly linked to our guiding principles of client focus, teamwork and protecting our reputation as well as to our Code of Conduct.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Principles and objectives
|-------------------------

|Our approach has been developed according to the principles that compensation should be:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– based on performance;
|-----------------------

|– an incentive for employees to create value; and
|-------------------------------------------------

|– aligned with the market place in which Credit Suisse Group operates.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|These principles help ensure that our approach to compensation achieves our objectives to:
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– support a performance culture that is based on merit and differentiates and rewards excellent performance;
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– reward and recognize individual employee contributions that benefit the entire bank;
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– attract and retain employees and motivate them to achieve results with integrity and fairness; and
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– ensure employees create sustainable value for our shareholders.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Share-based awards are a key feature of our compensation program and are designed to closely align the interests of employees and shareholders.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We aim to compensate employees in line with the market, assuming our performance goals are met. We measure ourselves against a peer group of European and American banks and derive our market position by looking at fixed and variable elements of compensation, assuming that business and individual goals are met. In practice, the market will guide the mix between fixed or variable compensation and the balance between cash and share-based compensation.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Compensation Committee
|--------------------------

|The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is the supervisory and governing body for compensation policy and practices within the Group and has responsibility for determining, reviewing and proposing compensation for approval to the Board. The committee consists of not less than three members of the Board of Directors and the committee’s charter states that all members must be independent.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The current members of the Compensation Committee are Aziz R.D. Syriani (Chairman), Thomas W. Bechtler, Robert H. Benmosche and Anton van Rossum. The Compensation Committee has its own charter, which has been approved by the Board. Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee holds at least four meetings per year. Additional meetings may be scheduled if required to discuss urgent matters. The length of the meetings varies and depends on the agenda. In 2006, the Compensation Committee held eight meetings. The main meeting is held in January with the primary purpose of reviewing the performance of the businesses and the respective management teams, and determining and/or recommending to the Board for approval the overall compensation pools and the compensation payable to the members of the Board, the Executive Boards of Credit Suisse Group and the Bank, the head of Internal Audit and certain other members of senior management. Other duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include reviewing and assessing newly established compensation plans or amendments to existing plans and recommending them for approval to the Board. The Chairman of the Compensation Committee decides on the attendance of management at the committee meetings.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Compensation Committee is assisted in its work by external legal counsel and an independent global compensation consulting firm to ensure that the compensation programs, in the judgment of the Compensation Committee, remain competitive, correspond to market practice and are in line with Credit Suisse Group’s compensation approach.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Overview of the components of compensation at Credit Suisse Group
|-----------------------------------------------------------------

|The pay of most employees is linked to performance, which is measured on several levels:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Financial performance on a Group and divisional level (compared with strategic business plans, prior periods and peer performance) and on a team and individual level; and
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Success in meeting certain non-financial performance objectives, such as safeguarding our reputation.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|There are two types of compensation: fixed and variable. The mix varies according to the employee’s seniority, business and location. Most of the compensation awarded to the majority of employees is fixed.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Fixed compensation
|------------------

|Base salaries for employees reflect seniority, experience, skill sets and individual performance. Credit Suisse Group seeks to pay all employees competitive base salaries in order to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified professionals. Our base salary structure is generally aimed at the median compensation level within the industry in the relevant markets (investment banking, private banking, Swiss corporate and retail banking and asset management). The review period is generally annual and set according to local practice. We also seek to provide competitive pension and other benefits in accordance with local market requirements and practice in each jurisdiction in which we operate.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Variable compensation (annual incentive performance bonus)
|----------------------------------------------------------

|Payment of variable compensation is determined by the nature of the business, role, location and performance of the employee. Unless there is a contractual obligation, an incentive performance bonus is solely at the discretion of the Group.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The cashbonus component is aimed at rewarding and driving performance above and beyond the requirements of the job function and providing greater earning potential for employees who exceed predetermined targets. In addition, the Group may pay commissions to employees operating in specific areas of the business where such compensation practices are warranted. The value of commissions paid is determined by formulae, which are reviewed regularly to ensure that they remain competitive.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The share-based bonus component is designed to promote employee retention and align employee and shareholder interests. Share-based compensation programs are typically based on a mandatory deferral rate. The mandatory deferral means only part of the bonus is received in cash, with the remainder in share-based compensation awards.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– The Group also has employed other long-term incentive bonus plans or programs to assist in hiring at competitive levels, and to support the retention of talent.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Share-based compensation plans
|------------------------------

|Share-based compensation
|------------------------

|The Group’s share-based compensation is an important part of the overall compensation package for select employees and senior executives. Share-based compensation is designed to promote employee retention and align the interests of employees and shareholders. The majority of share-based compensation is granted as part of the annual incentive performance bonus subsequent to the fiscal year to which the incentive performance bonus relates. Share-based compensation is generally subject to restrictive features such as vesting, forfeiture and blocking rules.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group generally repurchases its own shares in the open market to satisfy obligations in connection with share-based compensation but can also issue new shares out of available conditional capital.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Special awards
|--------------

|Special awards are generally shares granted to new employees and are in addition to the annual bonus grants. These special awards may contain vesting depending on the terms of employment.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For information on fair value and expensing of share-based compensation, see note 24 “Employee share-based compensation and other benefits” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Share-based compensation for 2006
|---------------------------------

|Following the integration of Credit Suisse Group’s banking business in 2005 and the launch of the integrated bank in 2006, Credit Suisse Group aligned its share-based compensation plans and introduced theIncentive Share Unit (ISU). This replaced compensation programs that existed in specific businesses and countries with a new Group-wide approach to compensation for all award grants for 2006 performance. ISUs ensure a unified approach to share-based compensation as it applies to all employees who receive a bonus above a certain threshold.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|An ISU is a unit that is similar to shares, but offers additional upside depending on the development of the Credit Suisse Group share price.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The ISUs granted in January 2007 were based on 2006 performance, and 8,550 employees with an annual incentive bonus of at least CHF 125,000 were awarded ISUs with a mandatory deferral rate that ranged from 12.5% to 50% of the annual incentive performance bonus.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For each ISU granted, the employee will receive at least one Credit Suisse Group share. In addition, the leverage component can deliver additional upside which will be determined by the monthly average Credit Suisse Group share price over the three year period following grant. The final value of each ISU is paid in registered shares of Credit Suisse Group. The total number of shares received for each ISU will equal the final value divided by the share price at maturity (i.e., three years), however, holders will always receive at least one Credit Suisse Group share per ISU. The total payout for each ISU is subject to a cap of three times the value of a Credit Suisse Group share at grant date (CHF 86.24 per share), which is reached at an average share price of CHF 132.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The ability to deliver the leverage component is achieved by spending 25% of the value of a share in respect of each ISU on a derivative instrument comprising a number of options. Any gains on these options will be paid to the Group in the form of Credit Suisse Group shares which will be used to settle the upside component of the ISU.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For the ISUs granted in January 2007 for 2006 performance, employees participating in the program received a number of ISUs equal to the amount of their deferred bonus divided by CHF 86.24, which represents the daily volume weighted average price for Credit Suisse Group registered shares for the five consecutive trading days at the SWX Swiss Exchange that ended on the grant date of January 23, 2007.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Each ISU will vest at a rate of one third of a share per year over three years, with the potential additional shares vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date, depending on the development of the leverage component. Shares will be delivered for vested ISUs within 120 days of each vesting date. Settlement of ISUs is subject to continued employment at the Group and certain retirement arrangements.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The ISU program for 2006 performance includes a provision that does not permit early retirement eligibility for employees that would otherwise qualify until two years from grant (the “two-year moratorium period”).
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Share-based compensation in prior years
|---------------------------------------

|For share-based awards granted in or prior to March 2006 for 2005 and prior year performance, Credit Suisse Group used various instruments to grant share-based compensation in the different businesses and locations.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Share awards
|------------

|Shares granted to employees entitle the holder to receive one Credit Suisse Group registered share subject to continued employment with the Group, restrictive covenants and cancellation provisions. Shares granted as compensation awards generally vest on the grant date, whereas shares granted as retention incentive awards and special awards generally vest immediately or over a period of up to three years. The following types of share awards were used:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Phantom or blocked shares: Phantom shares vest in three equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date and convert to registered Credit Suisse Group shares within 120 days of vesting or are blocked for a period of one year after the shares vest depending on the location of the grant recipient.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Longevity Premium Awards (LPA): Shares awarded through the LPA program vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date and either convert to shares within 120 days of vesting or are blocked for a period of one year after the shares vest depending on the location of the grant recipient.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Performance Incentive Plan:
|---------------------------

|Performance Incentive Plan (PIP) is a share-based long-term retention incentive program that was used in compensation for 2004 and 2005 performance, granted in early 2005 and early 2006, respectively.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Background
|----------

|Credit Suisse Group’s PIP was designed to compensate, incentivize and retain senior management and executives during 2004 and 2005, a period of fundamental change for Credit Suisse Group. Rebuilding the business particularly in Investment Banking during 2003 and 2004, restructuring the Group’s banking business and creating the integrated bank in 2005 were critical steps that demanded special management effort. Management was incentivized and rewarded with PIP units. This period was also characterized by intense international competition for employees in some of the Group’s businesses. Hence, PIP was also used as a tool to retain key senior management. PIP closely links senior management with the delivery of the Group’s strategy. PIP requires continued employment with the Group during a five-year vesting period and contains strict rules for participants leaving to join a competitor.

|Value development over five-year vesting period
|-----------------------------------------------

|All or a portion of the mandatory deferral of the annual performance incentive bonus was converted into PIP units using the Group’s share price of CHF 47.45 for the 2004 PIP (PIP I) and CHF 72.00 for the 2005 PIP (PIP II). PIP units vest over a five-year period. If all financial targets over the five-year vesting period of a PIP are achieved, and if the share price in absolute and relative terms meets the performance criteria, PIP units could convert into up to nine Group shares in PIP I and up to six Group shares in PIP II. It is also possible that PIP units could become worthless should the Group fail to meet all performance targets or share price targets.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|PIP units initially granted turn into final gain for participants by accruing value from three sources: i) Performance Multiplier, based on achieving sustainable (i.e., over five years) earnings targets; ii) Share Price Multiplier – based on creating sustainable shareholder value; and iii) Share price appreciation – like any other shareholder owning an equal number of shares, the participant can, given the share price performance, benefit from a capital gain at settlement of the plan.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Mechanism
|---------

|Each PIP unit will settle for a specified number of Credit Suisse Group registered shares subsequent to the fifth anniversary of the grant date based on the achievement of: i) earnings per share performance as compared to predefined targets (“performance conditions”); and ii) share price performance compared to predefined targets and share price performance relative to peers (“market conditions”). The performance conditions may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee if appropriate to exclude effects that do not relate to the normal banking business (including, for example, gains merely triggered by accounting changes or the gain on the sale of Group companies). The performance conditions will determine the multiplier, ranging between zero and three, for the final number of PIP units. The market conditions will determine the number of shares that each PIP unit will convert into at settlement. This will be in a range of between zero and three shares for PIP I and zero and two shares for PIP II. The PIP I units granted in 2005 will ultimately settle for between zero and nine shares and the PIP II units granted in 2006 will ultimately settle for between zero and six shares.

|The achievement of the share price targets and relative share price performance for PIP I is measured based on the Group’s average share price over a three-month period prior to settlement and can result in the delivery of a minimum of zero shares at a share price below CHF 30 and a maximum of three shares at a share price of CHF 90 or higher. The achievement of the share price targets and relative share price performance for PIP II is measured based on the Group’s average share price over a three month period prior to settlement and can result in the delivery of a minimum of zero shares at a share price below CHF 47 and a maximum of two shares at a share price of CHF 160 or higher.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|PIP II includes the two-year moratorium period for early retirement eligibility.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Share options
|-------------

|Options were a substantial component of the Group’s share-based program prior to 2004. The Group has discontinued the practice of issuing options and the majority of the original grants have since vested. Share options were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Credit Suisse Group’s shares on the date of grant and expire after ten years.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Share options granted to employees entitle the holder to purchase one Credit Suisse Group common share at a stated exercise price subject to continued employment with the Group through the vesting period, restrictive covenants and cancellation provisions.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Share options granted as compensation awards generally vest on the grant date, whereas share options granted as retention incentive awards generally vest between one and five years.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For information on fair value and expensing of options, see note 24 “Employee share-based compensation and other benefits” in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

|Board of Directors compensation
|-------------------------------

|Compensation of members of the Board of Directors is set in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Compensation Committee Charter. The annual compensation paid to members of the Board is fixed and set by the Board of Directors based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. Compensation for members of the Board of Directors with no functional duties (ten individuals) is in the form of cash (35%) and Credit Suisse Group registered shares (65%), which are blocked for a period of four years.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Members of the Board of Directors with functional, non-executive duties (three individuals) received variable compensation for their services, in addition to fixed compensation as set by the Board of Directors. Such compensation is paid in the form of cash and/or Credit Suisse Group registered shares, blocked for a period of four years, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

|Executive compensation
|----------------------

|Credit Suisse Group’s approach to executive compensation
|--------------------------------------------------------

|In line with Credit Suisse Group’s overall approach to compensation, the Group’s executive compensation policies are designed to attract executives of the highest quality, to retain them by rewarding them for superior performance and to motivate them for outstanding performance in the future. In addition, compensation should encourage strong teamwork and a meaningful alignment with the One Bank strategy and the interests of shareholders.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Furthermore, and in support of the above objectives, the Compensation Committee established a bonus pool framework linked directly to the performance of Credit Suisse for the Group Executive Board, including the Chief Executive Officer. The bonus pool was used to define the total amount available for bonus payments, which were then delivered in cash and deferred share-based compensation. At the beginning of the year, a target bonus pool for this executive population was set assuming specific, pre-defined Credit Suisse financial and non-financial performance goals would be achieved in 2006. At the conclusion of the year, the Compensation Committee performed an assessment versus those goals and then modified the size of the available bonus pool based on actual results. The final bonus pool was then distributed to the members of the Group Executive Board and the Chief Executive Officer based on individual contributions, business performance and competitive compensation levels.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The performance criteria used in this framework of determining the size of the total bonus pool for the Group Executive Board and the Chief Executive Officer included the following:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– the financial performance of the Group adjusted for extraordinary items compared to the strategic business plan;
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– assessment of delivery of defined non-financial targets in relation to the Group’s strategy;
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– consideration of the Group’s performance against the performance of its peer companies;
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– measurement against market information of companies with similar scope and complexity; and
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– measurement of shareholder satisfaction, assessed by reviewing objective data regarding the Group’s financial performance, with a focus on revenue growth, pre-tax margin growth, return on equity and earnings per share.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|This approach is designed to assess performance in relation to the delivery of the strategic plan and satisfaction of the expectations of shareholders.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Executive compensation components
|---------------------------------

|In line with the Group’s overall approach, executive compensation consists of a fixed salary and a variable performance bonus. Salaries for members of the Group Executive Board are reviewed annually. Salaries are set at similar levels for each member. The annual performance bonus usually represents the most significant part of an executive’s total compensation package and varies from year to year depending on the executive’s performance. Part of the bonus is awarded in cash and a part in share-based awards. As a matter of policy, share-based awards are usually a material portion of each executive’s compensation and are subject to vesting, holding and future performance requirements.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group’s executive compensation in 2006
|----------------------------------------------------

|Executive compensation for 2006 was based on the general approach set out above. In 2006, the members of the Group Executive Board (eight individuals) received on average, as a percentage of their total compensation, 6% salary, 49% cash bonus and 45% share-based awards.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The mandatory deferral amount of the total bonus for the Chief Executive Officer and the Group Executive Board was based on the approved share plan deferral schedule.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In previous years, members of the Group Executive Board participated in the Group-wide share-based compensation plan, and for 2006 performance received ISUs or shares granted in January 2007. This participation is designed to ensure that executive compensation is in line with the Group’s overall approach to compensation.

|Additional fees and remuneration
|--------------------------------

|Certain former members of the Group’s most senior executive body (three individuals) are entitled to receive office infrastructure and secretarial support. These services are based on existing resources and are not used on a regular basis.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|No additional fees, severance payments or forms of remuneration were paid to current or former members of the most senior executive body or related parties during 2006.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Shareholder rights
|------------------

|Credit Suisse Group is fully committed to the principle of equal treatment of all shareholders and encourages shareholders to actively participate at the Group’s AGM. The following is a summary of shareholder rights at Credit Suisse Group. For further details, see the Group’s Articles of Association (AoA), which is available on the Group’s website.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Voting rights, transfer of shares
|---------------------------------

|There is no limitation under Swiss law or Credit Suisse Group’s AoA on the right to own Credit Suisse Group shares.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In principle, each share represents one vote at the AGM, with the exception of the shares held by Credit Suisse Group, which do not have any voting rights. Shares for which a single shareholder or shareholder group can exercise voting rights may not exceed 2% of the total outstanding share capital, unless one of the exemptions discussed below applies.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The restrictions on voting rights do not apply to:
|--------------------------------------------------

|– the exercise of voting rights by the Credit Suisse Group proxy or by the independent proxy as designated by Credit Suisse Group or by persons acting as proxies for deposited shares;
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– shares in respect of which the shareholder confirms to Credit Suisse Group that he or she has acquired the shares in his or her name for his or her own account and in respect of which the disclosure requirements in accordance with the Federal Act on Stock Exchange and Securities Trading and the relevant ordinances and regulations have been fulfilled; and
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– shares that are registered in the name of a nominee, provided that this nominee is willing to furnish Credit Suisse Group on request with the name, address and shareholding of the person(s) for whose account he or she holds 0.5% or more of the total share capital and any applicable disclosure requirements under the Federal Act on Stock Exchange and Securities Trading have been fulfilled.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Except upon specific request, Credit Suisse Group shares are not physically represented by certificates. The transfer of shares is executed by a corresponding entry in the custody records of a bank or depositary institution following an assignment in writing by the selling shareholder and notification of such assignment to Credit Suisse Group by the transferor, the bank or the depositary institution. In order to be registered in the share register, the purchaser must file a share registration form. Failing such registration, the purchaser may not vote or participate in shareholders’ meetings. Each shareholder, whether registered in the share register or not, is entitled to receive dividends or other distributions, if, and when, approved at the AGM.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Annual General Meeting
|----------------------

|Under Swiss law, the AGM must be held within six months after the end of the fiscal year. Notice of an AGM, including agenda items and proposals submitted by the Board of Directors and by shareholders, must be published in the Swiss Gazette of Commerce (Schweizerisches Handelsamtsblatt) at least 20 days prior to the meeting.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Holders of shares may request registration in the share register at any time. There is, in particular, no deadline for registering shares before an AGM. However, technical considerations may make registration on the same day as the AGM impossible.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Convocation of shareholder meetings
|-----------------------------------

|The AGM is convened by the Board of Directors or, if necessary, by the statutory auditors, with 20 days’ advance notice. The Board of Directors is further required to convene an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting if so resolved at a shareholders’ meeting or if so requested by shareholders holding in aggregate at least 10% of the nominal share capital. The request to call an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting must be submitted in writing to the Board of Directors, and, at the same time, shares of Credit Suisse Group representing at least 10% of the nominal share capital must be deposited for safekeeping. The shares remain in safekeeping until the day after the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Request to place an item on the agenda
|--------------------------------------

|Shareholders holding shares with an aggregate nominal value of at least CHF 0.5 million have the right to request that a specific item be put on the agenda and voted upon at the next AGM. The request to include a particular item on the agenda, together with a relevant proposal, must be submitted in writing to the Board of Directors not later than 45 days before the meeting and, at the same time, shares of Credit Suisse Group with an aggregate nominal value of at least CHF 0.5 million must be deposited for safekeeping. The shares remain in safekeeping until the day after the AGM.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Statutory quorums
|-----------------

|The AGM may, in principle, pass resolutions without regard to the number of shareholders present at the meeting or represented by proxy. Resolutions and elections generally require the approval of a majority of the votes represented at the meeting, except as otherwise provided by mandatory provisions of law or by the AoA.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For example, shareholders’ resolutions that require a vote by a majority of the votes represented include:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– amendments to the AoA, unless a supermajority is required;
|------------------------------------------------------------

|– election of directors and statutory auditors;
|-----------------------------------------------

|– approval of the annual report and the statutory and consolidated accounts; and
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– determination of allocation of distributable profit.
|------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|A quorum of at least half of the share capital and approval by a two-thirds majority of the votes represented is required for resolutions on:
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– change of the purpose of the company;
|---------------------------------------

|– creation of shares with increased voting powers;
|--------------------------------------------------

|– implementation of transfer restrictions on shares;
|----------------------------------------------------

|– authorized or conditional increase in the share capital;
|----------------------------------------------------------

|– increase of capital by way of conversion of capital surplus or by contribution in kind;
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– restriction or suspension of preferential rights;
|---------------------------------------------------

|– change of location of the principal office; and
|-------------------------------------------------

|– dissolution of the company without liquidation.
|-------------------------------------------------

|
|

|A quorum of at least half of the share capital and approval by at least three-quarters of the votes cast is required for resolutions on:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– the conversion of registered shares into bearer shares;
|---------------------------------------------------------

|– amendments to the provision of the AoA relating to registration and voting rights of nominee holders; and
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– the dissolution of the company.
|---------------------------------

|
|

|A quorum of at least half of the share capital and the approval of at least seven-eighths of the votes cast is required for amendments to provisions of the AoA relating to voting rights.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Changes of control and defense measures
|---------------------------------------

|Duty to make an offer
|---------------------

|Swiss law provides that anyone who, directly or indirectly or acting in concert with third parties, acquires 33 1/3% or more of the voting rights of a listed Swiss company, whether or not such rights are exercisable, must make an offer to acquire all of the listed equity securities of such company, unless the AoA of the company provides otherwise. Credit Suisse Group’s AoA does not include a contrary provision. This mandatory offer obligation may be waived under certain circumstances by the Swiss Takeover Board or the Swiss Federal Banking Commission. If no waiver is granted, the mandatory offer must be made pursuant to procedural rules set forth in the Stock Exchange Act and the implementing ordinances.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Clauses on changes of control
|-----------------------------

|Subject to certain provisions in the Group’s employee compensation plans providing for the treatment of outstanding awards in the case of a change of control, there are no provisions that require the payment of extraordinary benefits in the case of a change of control in the agreements and plans benefiting members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Boards of Credit Suisse Group and the Bank or any other members of senior management. Specifically, there are no contractually agreed severance payments in the case of a change of control of the Group. Moreover, none of the employment contracts with members of the Executive Boards of Credit Suisse Group and the Bank or other members of senior management provides for extraordinary benefits that would be triggered by a change of control.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Internal and external auditors
|------------------------------

|Auditing forms an integral part of corporate governance at Credit Suisse Group. Both internal and external auditors have a key role to play by providing an independent assessment of the Group’s operations and internal controls.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Internal Audit
|--------------

|The Group’s Internal Audit function comprises a team of around 250 professionals, more than 220 of whom are directly involved in auditing activities. The Head of Internal Audit, Heinz Leibundgut, reports directly to the Audit Committee.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Internal Audit performs an independent and objective assurance and consulting function that is designed to add value to the Group’s operations. Using a systematic and disciplined approach, the Internal Audit team evaluates and enhances the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management, control and governance processes.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Internal Audit is responsible for carrying out periodic audits in line with the Auditing Regulations approved by the Audit Committee. It regularly and independently assesses the risk exposure of the Group’s various business activities, taking into account industry trends, strategic and organizational decisions, best practice and regulatory matters. Based on the results of its assessment, Internal Audit develops detailed annual audit objectives, defining areas of audit concentration and specifying resource requirements for approval by the Audit Committee.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As part of its efforts to achieve best practice, Internal Audit regularly benchmarks its methods and tools against those of its peers. In addition, it submits periodic internal reports and summaries thereof to the management teams as well as the Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The head of Internal Audit reports to the Audit Committee at least quarterly and more frequently as appropriate. Internal Audit coordinates its operations with the activities of the external auditor for maximum effect.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|External auditors
|-----------------

|Credit Suisse Group’s statutory and group auditor is KPMG Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler SA, Zurich, or KPMG. The mandate was first given to KPMG for the business year 1989/1990. The lead Group engagement partners are David L. Jahnke, Global Lead Partner (since 2005), Robert S. Overstreet, Group Engagement Partner (since 2006), and Philipp Rickert, Leading Bank Auditor (since 2006). In addition, Credit Suisse Group has mandated BDO Visura, Zurich, as special auditor for the purposes of issuing the legally required report for capital increases in accordance with Article 652f of the Swiss Code of Obligations.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Audit Committee monitors and pre-approves the fees to be paid to KPMG for its services.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|KPMG attends all meetings of the Audit Committee. At each meeting, KPMG reports on the findings of its audit and/or review work. The Audit Committee reviews on an annual basis KPMG’s audit plan and evaluates the performance of KPMG and its senior representatives in fulfilling its responsibilities. Moreover, the Audit Committee recommends to the Board the appointment or replacement of the external auditor, subject to shareholder approval as required by Swiss law.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|KPMG provides a report as to its independence to the Audit Committee at least once a year. In addition, Credit Suisse Group’s policy on the engagement of public accounting firms, which has been approved by the Audit Committee, strives to further ensure an appropriate degree of independence of its external auditor. The policy limits the scope of services that may be provided to Credit Suisse Group or any of its subsidiaries by KPMG to audit and certain permissible types of non-audit services, including audit-related and tax services that have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee pre-approves all other services on a case-by-case basis. All KPMG services in 2006 were pre-approved, except in the case of certain de minimis non-audit services as permitted by Section 10A(i)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In 2006, non-audit services with fees of CHF 0.6 million have been retrospectively approved by the Audit Committee under the de minimis provision. KPMG is required to report to the Audit Committee periodically regarding the extent of services provided by KPMG and the fees for the services performed to date.

|Notes to the consolidated financial statements
|----------------------------------------------

|1 Summary of significant accounting policies
|--------------------------------------------

|The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Credit Suisse Group (the Group) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and are stated in Swiss francs (CHF). The financial year for the Group ends on December 31. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation and had no impact on Net income or Total shareholders’ equity.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Principles of consolidation
|---------------------------

|The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries. The Group’s subsidiaries are entities in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights or where it exercises control. The Group also consolidates variable interest entities (VIEs) where the Group is the primary beneficiary in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation (FIN) No. 46, as revised (FIN 46(R)). The effects of intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group accounts for investments in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence, which generally are investments in which the Group holds 20% to 50% of the voting rights, using the equity method of accounting. These investments are classified as Other investments, while the Group’s share of the profit or loss, as well as any impairment losses on the investee, if applicable, are included in Other revenues.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Where a Group subsidiary is a separate legal entity and determined to be an investment company as defined under the AICPA Investment Company Guide, interests in other entities held by this Group subsidiary are not consolidated and carried at fair value.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Foreign currency translation
|----------------------------

|Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the related entity are recorded by remeasuring them in the functional currency of the related entity using the foreign exchange rate on the date of the transaction. At the dates of the consolidated balance sheets, monetary assets and liabilities, such as receivables and payables, are reported using the year-end spot foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange rate differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For the purpose of consolidation, the assets and liabilities of Group companies with functional currencies other than CHF are translated into CHF equivalents using year-end spot foreign exchange rates, whereas revenues and expenses are translated using the weighted average foreign exchange rate for the year. Translation adjustments arising from consolidation are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (AOCI) within Total shareholders’ equity.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Cash and cash equivalents
|-------------------------

|Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less, which are held for cash management purposes. For purposes of these consolidated financial statements, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are cash and due from banks.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements
|--------------------------------------------

|Purchases of securities under resale agreements (reverse repurchase agreements) and securities sold under agreements to repurchase substantially identical securities (repurchase agreements) normally do not constitute economic sales and are therefore treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at the amount of cash disbursed or received, respectively. Reverse repurchase agreements are recorded as collateralized assets while repurchase agreements are recorded as liabilities, with the underlying securities sold continuing to be recognized in Trading assets orInvestment securities. Assets and liabilities recorded under these agreements are accounted for on an accrual basis, with interest earned on reverse repurchase agreements and interest incurred on repurchase agreements reported in Interest and dividend income and Interest expense, respectively. Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements are netted if they are with the same counterparty, have the same maturity date, settle through the same clearing institution and are subject to the same master netting agreement.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Securities lending and borrowing (SLB) transactions
|---------------------------------------------------

|Securities borrowed and securities loaned that are cash-collateralized are included in the consolidated balance sheets at amounts equal to the cash advanced or received. If securities received in an SLB transaction as collateral may be sold or re-pledged, they are recorded as securities received as collateral and a corresponding liability to return the security is recorded. Fees and interest received or paid are recorded in Interest and dividend income and Interest expense, respectively, on an accrual basis.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Trading assets and liabilities
|------------------------------

|Trading assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities, derivative instruments, loans held in broker/dealer entities, commodities and precious metals. Items included in the trading portfolio are carried at fair value and classified as held for trading purposes based on management’s intent for the individual item. Regular-way security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s-length transaction other than an involuntary liquidation or distressed sale. Quoted market prices are used, when available, to measure fair value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using valuation models that consider prices for similar assets or similar liabilities and other valuation techniques.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Unrealized and realized gains and losses on trading positions, including amortization of the premium/discount arising at acquisition of debt securities, are recorded in Trading revenues.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Derivatives
|-----------

|Freestanding derivative contracts are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets regardless of whether these instruments are held for trading or risk management purposes. Commitments to originate mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivatives for accounting purposes. When derivative features embedded in certain contracts that meet the definition of a derivative are not considered clearly and closely related to the host instrument, either the embedded feature is accounted for separately at fair value or the entire contract, including the embedded feature, is accounted for at fair value. In both cases, changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of income. Once separated, the derivative is recorded in the same line item in the consolidated balance sheet as the host instrument.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Derivatives classified as trading assets and liabilities include those held for trading purposes and those used for risk management purposes that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Derivatives held for trading purposes arise from proprietary trading activity and from customer-based activity. Changes in realized and unrealized gains and losses and interest flows are included in Trading revenues. Derivative contracts designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or net investment hedges are reported as Other assetsor Other liabilitiesand hedge accounting is applied.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Fair values recorded for derivative instruments do not indicate future gains or losses, but rather the unrealized gains and losses from valuing all derivatives at a particular point in time. The fair value of exchange-traded derivatives is typically derived from observable market prices and/or observable market parameters. Fair values for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives are determined on the basis of internally developed proprietary models using various input parameters. Where the input parameters cannot be validated using observable market data, reserves are established for unrealized gains and losses evident at the inception of the contracts so that no gain or loss is recorded at inception. Such reserves are amortized to income over the life of the instrument or released into income when observable market data becomes available. Derivative contracts are recorded on a net basis per counterparty, where an enforceable master netting agreement exists. Where no such agreement exists, replacement values are recorded on a gross basis.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Where hedge accounting is applied, the Group formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, including the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. At inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis, the hedge relationship is formally assessed to determine whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items attributable to the hedged risk. The Group discontinues hedge accounting prospectively in the following circumstances:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(i) it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item (including forecasted transactions);
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised;
|-----------------------------------------------------------------

|(iii) the derivative is no longer designated as a hedging instrument because it is unlikely that the forecasted transaction will occur; or
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(iv) the Group otherwise determines that designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|For derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the carrying value of the underlying hedged items is adjusted to fair value for the risk being hedged. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in the same line item of the consolidated statement of income as the change in fair value of the risk being hedged for the hedged assets or liabilities to the extent the hedge is effective. The change in fair value representing hedge ineffectiveness is recorded separately in Trading revenues.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|When the Group discontinues fair value hedge accounting because it determines that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective fair value hedge, the derivative will continue to be carried in the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value, and the hedged asset or liability will no longer be adjusted for changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk. Interest-related fair value adjustments made to the underlying hedged items will be amortized to the consolidated statement of income over the remaining life of the hedged item. Any unamortized interest-related fair value adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statement of income upon sale or extinguishment of the hedged asset or liability, respectively. Any other fair value hedge adjustments remain part of the carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability and are recognized in the consolidated statement of income upon disposition of the hedged item as part of the gain or loss on disposition.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For hedges of the variability of cash flows from forecasted transactions and floating rate assets or liabilities, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of a designated derivative is recorded in AOCI. These amounts are reclassified into the line item in the consolidated statement of income in which the hedged item is recorded when the variable cash flow from the hedged item impacts earnings (e.g., when periodic settlements on a variable rate asset or liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of income or when the hedged item is disposed of). The change in fair value representing hedge ineffectiveness is recorded separately in Trading revenues.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|When hedge accounting is discontinued on a cash flow hedge, the net gain or loss will remain in AOCI and be reclassified into the consolidated statement of income in the same period or periods during which the formerly hedged transaction is reported in the consolidated statement of income. When the Group discontinues hedge accounting because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur within the specified date or period plus two months, the derivative will continue to be carried in the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value, and gains and losses that were previously recorded in AOCI will be recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative is recorded in AOCI, to the extent the hedge is effective. The change in fair value representing hedge ineffectiveness is recorded in Trading revenues. The Group uses the forward method of determining effectiveness for net investment hedges, which results in the time value portion of a foreign currency forward being reported in AOCI, to the extent the hedge is effective.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Investment securities
|---------------------

|Investment securities include debt securities classified as held-to-maturity and debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale. Regular-way security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Debt securities where the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold such securities to maturity are classified as such and are carried at amortized cost, net of any unamortized premium or discount.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, which represent the difference between fair value and amortized cost, are recorded in AOCI within Total shareholders’ equity. Amounts reported in AOCI are net of income taxes.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Amortization of premiums or discounts is recorded in Interest and dividend income using the effective yield method through the maturity date of the security. Gains or losses on the sales of securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded in Realized gains/(losses) from investment securities, net at the time of sale on the basis of the weighted average method.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Recognition of an impairment loss on debt securities is recorded in the consolidated statement of income if a decline in fair value below amortized cost is considered other-than-temporary, that is, amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security are not considered collectible, typically due to a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuer. No impairment is recorded in connection with declines resulting from changes in market interest rates to the extent the Group has the intent and ability to hold the debt security for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of the decline in market value below cost.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Recognition of an impairment loss on equity securities is recorded in the consolidated statement of income if a decline in fair value below the cost basis of an investment is considered other-than-temporary. The Group generally considers unrealized losses on equity securities to be other-than-temporary if the fair value has been below cost for more than six months or by more than 20%.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Recognition of an impairment loss for debt or equity securities establishes a new cost basis, which is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when a decision has been taken to sell a security.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other investments
|-----------------

|Other investments include equity method investments and non-marketable equity securities such as private equity and restricted stock investments, certain investments in non-marketable mutual funds for which the Group has neither significant influence nor control over the investee, and real estate held for investment.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The valuation for non-marketable equity securities depends on the type of entity in which the securities are held. Non-marketable equity securities held by the Group’s subsidiaries that are determined to be investment companies as defined in the AICPA Investment Company Guide or broker/dealer entities, in each case, to the extent held by separate legal entities, are carried at their estimated fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of income. The Group’s other non-marketable equity securities are carried at cost less other-than-temporary impairment.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Real estate held for investment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated over its estimated useful life, generally 40 to 67 years. Land is carried at historical cost and is not depreciated.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Loans
|-----

|Loans held-to-maturity
|----------------------

|Loans which the Group intends to hold until maturity are carried at outstanding principal balances and past due interest, net of the following items: unamortized premiums, discounts on purchased loans, deferred loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance and net deferred premiums/discounts and fees/costs are generally amortized as an adjustment to the loan yield over the term of the related loans.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Allowance for loan losses on loans held-to-maturity
|---------------------------------------------------

|The Allowance for loan losses is comprised of two components: probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio and those losses specifically identified. Changes in the Allowance for loan losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of income in Provision for credit lossesandinInterest income(for provisions on past due interest).
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Many factors can affect the Group’s estimate of the Allowance for loan losses, including volatility of default probabilities, rating migrations and estimated loss severity. The component of the allowance representing probable losses inherent in the portfolio is for loans not specifically identified as impaired which, on a portfolio basis, are considered to contain probable inherent loss. The estimation of this component of the allowance for the consumer portfolio involves applying historical loss experience, adjusted to reflect current market conditions, to homogenous loans based on risk rating and product type. To estimate this component of the allowance for commercial loans, the Group segregates loans by risk, industry or country rating. Excluded from this estimation process are consumer and commercial loans that have been specifically identified as impaired. For lending-related commitments, a provision for losses is estimated based on historical loss and recovery experience, which is recorded in Other liabilities. Changes in the estimated calculation of losses for lending-related commitments are recorded in the consolidated statement of income in Provision for credit losses.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The estimate of the component of the allowance for specifically identified credit losses on impaired loans is based on a regular and detailed analysis of each loan in the portfolio considering collateral and counterparty risk. The Group considers a loan impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Group will be unable to collect the amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For certain non-collateral dependent impaired loans, impairment charges are measured using the present value of estimated future cash flows. For collateral dependent impaired loans, impairment charges are measured using the value of the collateral.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A loan is classified as non-performing no later than when the contractual payments of principal and/or interest are more than 90 days past due. However, management may determine that a loan should be classified as non-performing notwithstanding that contractual payments of principal and/or interest are less than 90 days past due. For non-performing loans, for any accrued but unpaid interest at the date the loan is classified as non-performing, a provision is recorded in the amount of the accrual, resulting in a charge to the consolidated statement of income. In addition, the Group continues to add accrued interest receivable to the loans balance for collection purposes; however, a provision is recorded resulting in no interest income recognition. On a regular basis thereafter, the outstanding principal balance is evaluated for collectibility and a provision is established, as necessary.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A loan can be further downgraded to noninterest-earning when the collection of interest is considered so doubtful that further accrual of interest is deemed inappropriate. At that time, and on a regular basis thereafter, the outstanding principal balance, net of provisions previously recorded, is evaluated for collectibility and additional provisions are established as required. Write-off of a loan occurs when it is considered certain that there is no possibility of recovering the outstanding principal. Recoveries of loans previously written off are recorded based on the cash or estimated fair market value of other amounts received.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The amortization of net loan fees or costs on impaired loans is generally discontinued during the periods in which matured and unpaid interest or principal is outstanding. On settlement of a loan, if the loan balance is not collected in full, an allowance is established for the uncollected amount, if necessary, and the loan is then written off, net of any deferred loan fees and costs.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Interest collected on non-performing loans and noninterest-earning loans is accounted for using the cash basis or the cost recovery method or a combination of both, as appropriate.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Generally, a non-performing loan may be restored to performing status only when delinquent principal and interest are brought up to date in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and when certain performance criteria are met.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Lease financing transactions where the Group is the lessor are classified as Loans. Unearned income is amortized to Interest and dividend income over the lease term using the effective interest method.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Loans held-for-sale
|-------------------

|Loans, which the Group has the intent and ability to sell in the foreseeable future, are considered held-for-sale and are carried at the lower of amortized cost or market value determined on either an individual method basis, or in the aggregate for pools of similar loans if sold or securitized as a pool. Loans held-for-sale are included in Other assets.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Purchased impaired loans
|------------------------

|Purchased loans for which it is probable at acquisition that all contractually required payments will not be received are recorded at their net purchase price and no allowances are carried over. The excess of the estimated cash flows to be collected over the amount paid is accreted into interest income over the estimated recovery period when reasonable estimates can be made about the timing and amount of recovery. The Group does not consider such loans to be impaired at the time of acquisition. Such loans are deemed impaired only after acquisition if the Group’s estimate of cash to be received decreases below the estimate that existed at the time of acquisition. Increases in the estimated expected recovery is recorded as a reversal of allowances, if any, and then recognized as an adjustment of the effective yield of the loan.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Premises and equipment
|----------------------

|Premises are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, generally 40 to 67 years. Land is carried at historical cost and is not depreciated. Alterations and improvements to rented premises are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives. Other tangible fixed assets such as computers, machinery, furnishings, vehicles and other equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, generally three to five years.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group capitalizes costs relating to the acquisition, installation and development of software with a measurable economic benefit, but only if such costs are identifiable and can be reliably measured. The Group depreciates capitalized software costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, generally not exceeding three years, taking into consideration the effects of obsolescence, technology, competition and other economic factors.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group reflects finance leasing activities for which it is the lessee by recording an asset in Premises and equipment, and a corresponding liability in Other liabilities at an amount equal to the smaller of the present value of the minimum lease payments or fair value, and the leased asset is generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s estimated useful life or the lease term.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Goodwill and other intangible assets
|------------------------------------

|Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the estimated fair value of its net assets acquired at the acquisition date. Goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that Goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s reporting units for the purposes of the impairment test.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other intangible assets may be acquired individually or as part of a group of assets assumed in a business combination. Other intangible assets include but are not limited to: patents, licenses, copyrights, trademarks, branch networks, mortgage servicing rights, customer base and deposit relationships. Acquired intangible assets are initially measured based on the amount of cash disbursed or the fair value of other assets distributed. Other intangible assets that have a finite useful life are amortized over that period. Other intangible assets acquired after January 1, 2002, that are determined to have an indefinite useful life, are not amortized. Beginning January 1, 2006, mortgage servicing rights are included in Unamortized other intangible assetsand are carried at fair value, with changes recognized through earnings in the period in which they occur. Prior to this date, mortgage servicing rights were classified as Amortized other intangible assets. Mortgage servicing rights represent the right to perform specified mortgage servicing activities on behalf of third parties. Mortgage servicing rights are either purchased from third parties or retained upon sale of acquired or originated loans.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Recognition of impairment losses on tangible fixed assets and other intangible assets
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group evaluates Premises and equipment and Other intangible assets for impairment losses at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the asset is considered not to be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded in Other expenses to the extent the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. Recognition of an impairment loss on such assets establishes a new cost base, which is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in value.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Income taxes
|------------

|Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed using currently enacted tax rates and are recorded in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively. Income tax expense or benefit is recorded in Income tax expense/(benefit), except to the extent the change relates to transactions recorded directly in Total shareholders’ equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to the amount that management believes will more likely than not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates in the period in which changes are approved by the relevant authority. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented on a net basis for the same tax-paying component within the same tax jurisdiction.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For further information on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which is effective as of January 1, 2007, see note 2 “Recently issued accounting standards – FIN 48.”
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Life settlement contracts
|-------------------------

|Life settlement contracts are initially recognized at the transaction price and are recorded in Trading assetsunless the Group elects to apply the investment method. Subsequently, the contracts which are not accounted for under the investment method are carried at fair value.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Under the investment method, the contracts are initially recognized at the transaction price plus any directly related external costs and are recorded in Other investments. Subsequently, all continuing premium payments made are capitalized unless the aggregated carrying value exceeds fair value in which case an impairment allowance is established such that the carrying value does not exceed fair value.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other assets
|------------

|Derivative instruments used for hedging
|---------------------------------------

|Derivative instruments are carried at fair value. The fair values of derivative instruments held for hedging are included as Other assets or Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The accounting treatment used for changes in fair value of hedging derivatives depends on the designation of the derivative as either a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Changes in fair value representing hedge ineffectiveness are reported in Trading revenues.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other liabilities
|-----------------

|Guarantees
|----------

|In cases where the Group acts as a guarantor, the Group recognizes in Other liabilities, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing such a guarantee, including its ongoing obligation to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event that certain events or conditions occur.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pensions and other post-retirement benefits
|-------------------------------------------

|The Group uses the projected unit credit actuarial method to determine the present value of its projected benefit obligations and the current and past service costs related to its defined benefit and other postretirement benefit plans. The measurement date used by the Group to perform the actuarial revaluations is September 30.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Certain key assumptions are used in performing the actuarial valuations. These assumptions must be made concerning the future events that will determine the amount and timing of the benefit payments and thus require significant judgment and estimate by Group management. Among others, assumptions have to be made with regard to discount rates, expected return on plan assets and salary increases.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The assumed discount rates reflect the rates at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. These rates are determined based on yields of high-quality corporate bonds currently available and are expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension benefits. In countries where no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds exists, the estimate is based on governmental bonds adjusted to include a risk premium reflecting the additional risk for corporate bonds.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined on a plan-by-plan basis, taking into account asset allocation, historical rate of return, benchmark indices for similar type pension plan assets, long-term expectations of future returns and investment strategy.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Health care cost trend rates are determined by reviewing external data and the Group’s own historical trends for health care costs. Salary increases are determined by reviewing external data.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Beginning in 2006, the funded status of the Group’s defined benefit postretirement and pension plans are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits and net transition assets or obligations are recognized in AOCI within Total shareholders’ equity. For further information, see note 2 “Recently issued accounting standards - SFAS 158.”
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market value of plan assets and unrecognized prior service costs and transition obligations and assets are amortized to net periodic pension and other post-retirement cost on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service life of active employees expected to receive benefits.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group records pension expense for defined contribution plans when the employee renders service to the company, essentially coinciding with the cash contributions to the plans.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Share-based compensation
|------------------------

|Through December 31, 2002, the Group accounted for its employee share-based compensation program under the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25). Under APB 25, for shares granted as compensation in relation to the annual bonus that vested immediately upon grant, compensation expense was recognized in the applicable performance year in which the award was earned. For shares granted as retention incentive awards, compensation expense was recognized over the required service period on a straight-line basis. For share awards granted, compensation expense was measured based on the number of shares granted and the market value of the share at the date of grant. No compensation expense was generally recognized for share options because they were granted with an exercise price greater than or equal to the market price at the date of grant.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Through December 31, 2004, the Group accounted for all equity-based compensation awards granted to employees and existing awards modified on or after January 1, 2003, at fair value in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation (SFAS 123) as Amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (SFAS 148). Compensation expense was measured at the grant or modification date based on the fair value of the award and recognized in the consolidated statement of income over the required service period on a straight-line basis. Share options outstanding as of December 31, 2002, if not subsequently modified, continued to be accounted for under APB 25.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Effective January 1, 2005, the Group early adopted, using the modified prospective method, SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” (SFAS 123(R)). Under the modified prospective method for all share-based equity awards granted to employees and existing equity awards modified on or after January 1, 2005, compensation expense is measured at grant date or modification date based on the fair value of the number of awards for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered and is recognized in the consolidated statement of income over the required service period on a straight-line basis. For all outstanding unvested equity awards as of January 1, 2005, that were previously accounted for under APB 25, compensation expense is measured based on the original grant date fair value of the award and is recognized over the remaining requisite service period of each award on a straight-line basis. There would have been no impact on Net income and basic and diluted earnings per share as reported in 2004 if all outstanding awards were accounted for at fair value under SFAS 123.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group uses the tax law ordering approach to determine the portion of the total tax expense that relates to windfall tax benefits that are to be recorded in additional paid-in capital. In addition, it elected to use the practical transition option allowed under FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards”, in determining the amount of windfall tax benefits recorded in Additional paid-in capital arising on awards that were fully vested prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R).
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Compensation costs for share-based equity awards with only a service condition that affects vesting and that are subject to graded vesting are recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award. Further, upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), recognition of compensation costs is accelerated to the date an employee becomes eligible for retirement. For awards granted to retirement-eligible employees prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Group’s policy is to record compensation cost over the requisite service period.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Certain employees own nonsubstantive equity interests in the form of carried interests in private equity funds managed by the Group. Expenses recognized under these ownership interests are reflected in the consolidated statement of income in Compensation and benefits.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group has certain option plans outstanding, primarily related to 1999 and prior years, which include a cash settlement feature. For those plans, liability award accounting will continue to be applied until settlement of the awards.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Own shares and own bonds
|------------------------

|The Group may buy and sell own shares, own bonds and derivatives on own shares within its normal trading and market-making activities. In addition, the Group may hold its own shares to satisfy commitments arising from employee share-based compensation awards. Own shares are recorded at cost and reported as Treasury shares, resulting in a reduction to Total shareholders’ equity. Derivatives on own shares are recorded as assets or liabilities or as equity. Dividends received on own shares and unrealized and realized gains and losses on own shares classified in Total shareholders’ equity are excluded from the consolidated statement of income. Purchases of own bonds are recorded as an extinguishment of debt.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net interest income
|-------------------

|Interest income and interest expense arising from interest-bearing assets and liabilities other than those carried at fair value or the lower of cost or market (LOCOM) are accrued, and any related net deferred premiums, discounts, origination fees or costs are amortized as an adjustment to the yield over the life of the related asset and liability. Interest from debt securities and dividends on equity securities carried as Trading assets and Trading liabilities are recorded in Interest and dividend income. See “Loans” above for further information on interest on loans.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Commissions and fees
|--------------------

|Fee revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Commissions and fees earned for investment and portfolio management, customer trading and custody services are recognized at the time or over the period that the related service is provided. Performance-related fees are recognized at the end of the measurement period when the contractually agreed thresholds are met.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Revenues from underwriting and fees from mergers and acquisitions and other corporate finance advisory services are recorded at the time the underlying transactions are substantially completed and there are no other contingencies associated with the fees. Transaction-related expenses are deferred until the related revenue is recognized.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|2 Recently issued accounting standards
|--------------------------------------

|Recently adopted accounting standards
|-------------------------------------

|EITF 04-5, FSP SOP 78-9-1 and EITF 96-16
|----------------------------------------

|In June 2005, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (EITF 04-5). EITF 04-5 provides a framework for evaluating whether a general partner or a group of general partners controls a limited partnership and therefore should consolidate it. EITF 04-5 states that the presumption of general partner control would be overcome only when the limited partners have substantive “kick-out rights” or “participating rights.” These rights would allow a simple majority of the limited partners to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or otherwise remove the general partner “without cause” or effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnership business. EITF 04-5 was effective upon ratification for all newly formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that have been modified. The guidance was effective for the Group with respect to existing unmodified partnerships as of January 1, 2006.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As a result of the ratification of EITF 04-5, EITF Issue No. 96-16, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders Have Certain Approval or Veto Rights” (EITF 96-16) was updated and FSP No. SOP 78-9-1, “Interaction of AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 and EITF Issue No. 04-5” (FSP SOP 78-9-1) was issued. The amendments to EITF 96-16 were effective on a prospective basis upon issuance, whereas, similar to EITF 04-5, FSP SOP 78-9-1 was effective upon issuance for all new partnerships formed and for existing partnership agreements modified after June 29, 2005, and was effective for the Group with respect to existing unmodified partnerships as of January 1, 2006.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The changes to EITF 96-16 and the provisions of EITF 04-5 and FSP SOP 78-9-1 in effect during 2005 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. As of January 1, 2006, the Group increased its assets and liabilities by CHF 8.2 billion, primarily due to the consolidation of certain unmodified private equity partnerships which existed prior to June 29, 2005.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|FIN 46, FIN 46(R) and FIN 46(R)-6
|---------------------------------

|In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – An Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46), which requires the Group to consolidate all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary, defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of expected losses, receive a majority of the expected residual returns or both. In December 2003, the FASB modified FIN 46, through the issuance of FIN 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – An Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46(R)), to provide companies with the option of deferring the adoption of FIN 46 to periods ending after March 15, 2004, for certain VIEs. As of December 31, 2003, the Group consolidated all VIEs under FIN 46 for which it is the primary beneficiary, with the exception of certain private equity investment companies, mutual funds and VIE counterparties to certain derivatives transactions that were subject to deferral under FIN 46(R). As a result of the adoption of FIN 46(R) as of March 31, 2004, the Group consolidated certain private equity funds with third-party and employee investors, resulting in an increase in assets and liabilities of CHF 1.5 billion. The effect of initially adopting FIN 46(R) was reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the 2004 results of operations as an after-tax loss of CHF 7 million. In addition, the Group deconsolidated certain entities that issue redeemable preferred securities as of March 31, 2004. For further information on VIEs, see note 29 “Transfers and servicing of financial assets.”
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In April 2006, the FASB issued FSP No. FIN 46(R)-6, “Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (FSP FIN 46(R)-6). FSP FIN 46(R)-6 provides guidance regarding how contracts or arrangements that create or reduce variability should be assessed when determining if they are VIEs and when assessing the need for consolidation of VIEs. FSP FIN 46(R)-6 requires that evaluations of the variability created or absorbed in an entity from its contracts or arrangements be based on an analysis of the entity’s design. In evaluating the design of an entity, an analysis must be performed as to the potential risks to which the entity is exposed as well as the risks that the entity was designed to create and pass along to its interest holders based on the purpose for which the entity was formed. The guidance of FSP FIN 46(R)-6 was adopted by the Group and applied effective July 1, 2006, to all new entities as well as entities previously analyzed under FIN 46(R) when a reconsideration event occurs. FSP FIN 46(R)-6 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|SFAS 154
|--------

|In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 requires retrospective application, unless impracticable, to prior-period financial statements for voluntary changes in accounting principles and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual circumstances in which the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This statement also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets should be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle (i.e., as a retrospective application). The guidance for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and the change of an accounting estimate does not change from APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes.” SFAS 154 was effective for the Group as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|SFAS 155
|--------

|In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (SFAS 155), which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (SFAS 140). Under SFAS 155, hybrid financial instruments which contain embedded derivatives that would otherwise require bifurcation may be accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The fair value designation may be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis; however, the election to apply fair value accounting is irrevocable. SFAS 155 is effective for those instruments acquired or issued on or after an entity’s fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year for which an entity has not previously issued interim financial statements. SFAS 155 allows limited retrospective application for existing bifurcated hybrid financial instruments. The Group elected to early adopt SFAS 155 as of January 1, 2006, and the impact of adoption was an increase to the Group’s consolidated retained earnings of CHF 33 million, which included gross gains after tax of CHF 119 million and gross losses after tax of CHF 86 million, and a corresponding decrease to the Group’s consolidated liabilities of CHF 33 million.

|SFAS 156
|--------

|In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (SFAS 156), which amended SFAS 140. SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing rights after the effective date be initially measured at fair value and permits separately recognized servicing rights to be accounted for at fair value in subsequent periods with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income. SFAS 156 permits an irrevocable election to apply fair value measurement for classes of servicing rights based on the different valuation and risk characteristics of the underlying assets and the method in which the economic risks are managed. SFAS 156 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year for which an entity has not previously issued interim financial statements. SFAS 156 allows limited retrospective application for existing separately recognized servicing rights. The Group elected to early adopt SFAS 156 as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 156 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

|FSP FTB 85-4-1
|--------------

|In March 2006, the FASB issued FSP No. FTB 85-4-1, “Accounting for Life Settlement Contracts by Third-Party Investors” (FSP FTB 85-4-1). FSP FTB 85-4-1 allows a contract-by-contract election to account for life settlement contracts on either a fair value basis, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income, or through use of the investment method. Under the investment method, the initial investment and continuing costs are capitalized and no income is recognized until death of the insured party. The guidance of FSP FTB 85-4-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted; however, upon adoption, limited retrospective application of the measurement guidance is required. The Group elected to early adopt FSP FTB 85-4-1 as of January 1, 2006, and the impact of adoption was an increase to the Group’s consolidated assets and retained earnings of CHF 27 million.

|SFAS 158
|--------

|In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an employer to:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(i) recognize in the statement of financial condition the funded status of a defined benefit plan on a prospective basis;
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(ii) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions” (SFAS 87) or No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions” (SFAS 106). Amounts recognized in AOCI, including gains or losses, prior service costs or credits and transition assets or obligations remaining from the initial application of SFAS 87 and SFAS 106, are to be adjusted as they are subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost;
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(iii) measure the defined benefit plan assets and obligations at the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial condition; and
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(iv) disclose in the notes to the financial statements additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits and transition asset or obligation.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|SFAS 158 recognition provisions associated with the funded status of a defined benefit plan are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The provision to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial condition is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The cumulative effect of the Group adopting the recognition provisions of SFAS 158 as of December 31, 2006, was an after-tax decrease in AOCI and consolidated net assets of CHF 1.8 billion. For further information on the impact of initially applying SFAS 158, see note 21 “Accumulated other comprehensive income” and note 26 “Pension and other post-retirement benefits.”
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group did not early adopt the measurement date provisions and is evaluating the impact of those provisions for adoption in 2008.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|SAB 108
|-------

|In September 2006, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 on Quantifying Misstatements (SAB 108). SAB 108 requires registrants to use both a balance sheet approach and an income statement approach when quantifying and evaluating the materiality of a misstatement. In addition, SAB 108 provides guidance on correcting errors under this approach as well as providing transition guidance on correcting errors that existed prior to application of SAB 108. The guidance in SAB 108 is effective for the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of SAB 108 as of December 31, 2006, did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows nor were any prior periods restated.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|SOP 03-3
|--------

|In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (SOP 03-3). SOP 03-3 provides guidance on the accounting for differences between contractual and expected cash flows from the purchaser’s initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer, if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. Among other things, SOP 03-3:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(i) prohibits the recognition of the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected through an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance at the time of purchase;
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(ii) requires that subsequent increases in expected cash flows be recognized prospectively through an adjustment of yield; and
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(iii) requires that subsequent decreases in expected cash flows be recognized as an impairment.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|In addition, SOP 03-3 prohibits the creation or carrying over of a valuation allowance in the initial accounting of all loans and debt securities within its scope that are acquired in a transfer. SOP 03-3 became effective for the Group as of January 1, 2005. The adoption of SOP 03-3 did not have a material impact on the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Standards to be adopted in future periods
|-----------------------------------------

|FIN 48
|------

|In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions by prescribing a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|FIN 48 requires a two-step process in evaluating income tax positions. In the first step, an enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that an income tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Income tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are then measured to determine the amount of benefit eligible for recognition in the financial statements. Each income tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, did not result in a material change to the Group’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|SFAS 157
|--------

|In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures for instruments carried at fair value. The statement applies only to fair value measurements which are already required or permitted by other accounting standards. It will affect current practice by eliminating the EITF Issue No. 02-3 “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities” (EITF 02-3) guidance which prohibits the recognition of gains or losses at the inception of derivative transactions whose fair value is primarily estimated based upon unobservable market data. SFAS 157 will also eliminate the use of blockage factors on instruments that trade in an active market by brokers, dealers and investment companies that have been applying the applicable AICPA Audit and Accounting Guides. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|SFAS 159
|--------

|In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 creates an alternative measurement treatment for certain financial assets and financial liabilities that permits fair value to be used for initial and subsequent measurement with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The availability of this alternative measurement treatment is referred to as the fair value option. The statement also provides for additional financial statement presentation and disclosures relating to the alternative measurement treatment. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159.

|3 Business developments and subsequent events
|---------------------------------------------

|The Group’s significant divestitures and acquisitions for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2004, are discussed below. There were no significant divestitures or acquisitions related to the banking business in 2005.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Divestitures
|------------

|Effective December 22, 2006, the Group sold Winterthur to AXA S.A. for cash consideration of CHF 12.3 billion. As part of the sale agreement, AXA S.A. agreed to repay approximately CHF 1.1 billion of debt outstanding between the Group and Winterthur at the time of the agreement. The net capital gain of CHF 1,817 million on the sale was recognized at the time of closing. For further information on this divestiture, see note 4 “Discontinued operations.”
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In December 2004, the Group agreed to sell its 19.9% stake in the private equity activities of Warburg Pincus, which it acquired in July 1999. The investment was repurchased by Warburg Pincus with effect from January 1, 2005. In connection with this transaction, the Group recorded a pre-tax loss of CHF 157 million, which was comprised of a CHF 32 million loss compared to the carrying value at the time of the sale and a foreign exchange loss of CHF 125 million recognized earlier as a reduction to equity.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For information on contingencies with respect to indemnification provisions provided by the Group, see note 28 “Guarantees and commitments.”
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Acquisitions
|------------

|In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Group signed an agreement to acquire a majority interest in the Brazilian asset manager Hedging-Griffo. Hedging-Griffo is a leading asset management company with a large and well-established client base and also serves high-net-worth individuals through its private banking platform in Brazil. This transaction is expected to close by the middle of 2007, subject to regulatory approval. The Group expects to acquire the remaining interests over a period of five years.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Significant shareholders
|------------------------

|The Group was informed through disclosure notifications on September 19 and 20, 2006, that AXA S.A.’s holdings of the Group’s shares have exceeded 5% of the voting rights entered in the Commercial Register. All outstanding shares have the same voting rights.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Subsequent events
|-----------------

|On March 26, 2007, the Group and its Swiss bank subsidiary, Credit Suisse together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the Bank), expect to issue full, unconditional and several guarantees on a subordinated and senior basis, respectively, of Credit Suisse (USA), Inc.’s outstanding SEC-registered debt securities. For further information on the subsidiary guarantees, see note 36 “Supplementary subsidiary guarantee information.”
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|4 Discontinued operations
|-------------------------

|On December 22, 2006, the Group completed the sale of Winterthur to AXA S.A. for cash consideration of CHF 12.3 billion. In addition, AXA S.A. repaid approximately CHF 1.1 billion of debt outstanding between the Group and Winterthur at the time of the sale agreement. As a result of the completed sale, a net capital gain on the sale of CHF 1,817 million was recognized. The Group did not provide any indemnification in respect of Winterthur’s insurance reserves in the sale agreement.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|According to the sale agreement, certain banking and service agreements will continue to exist for a period not to exceed three years. These agreements may be terminated or renewed at any time. The revenues and costs associated with these agreements are insignificant.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The results of operations of the businesses sold are reflected in Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, has not been reclassified to reflect the discontinued operations.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Provisions from the insurance business were CHF 154,584 million and CHF 145,039 million as of December 22, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the overall growth of the business and foreign exchange impacts. The major components of Provisions from the insurance businessare Provisions for future policyholder benefitsandProvisions for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The corresponding accounting policies for these major components are outlined below.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Provisions from the insurance business
|--------------------------------------

|Provisions for future policyholder benefits
|-------------------------------------------

|The provisions for future policyholder benefits for participating and other traditional life products are computed using the net level premium method, which represents the present value of future policyholder benefits less the present value of future net premiums. The provisions for future policyholder benefits also include liabilities for non-traditional life products for which the assets cannot be legally segregated.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|When the provisions for future policyholder benefits plus the present value of expected future gross premiums for a product are insufficient to provide for expected future benefits and expenses for the line of business, deferred policy acquisition costs are written off to income and, if required, a premium deficiency reserve is established by a charge to income. A premium deficiency reserve is adjusted for the impact of net unrealized gains and losses.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Provisions for future policyholder benefits also include liabilities for guaranteed minimum death and similar mortality and morbidity benefits related to life products, where the investment risk is borne by the policyholder, annuitization options as well as sales inducements. An additional liability for annuitization benefits is accrued over the period of the contract. Contractually agreed sales inducements to policyholders include persistency bonuses and are recorded as expenses over the period in which the insurance contract must remain in force to qualify for the inducement.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Provisions for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses
|---------------------------------------------------------

|Losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) are recorded as incurred. The provisions are comprised of estimates of the unpaid portion of the reported losses and loss adjustment expenses as well as estimates of the amount of losses incurred but not yet reported.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Certain provisions for unpaid losses and LAE for which the payment pattern and the ultimate cost are fixed and reliably determinable on an individual claim basis are discounted at the rate used for statutory accounting but not exceeding the risk-free rate.

|5 Segment information
|---------------------

|Overview
|--------

|The Group is a global financial services company domiciled in Switzerland. Effective January 1, 2006, the Group aligned its organizational structure to its new strategic orientation, which is to focus on banking. As a result of this realignment, the Group’s business consists of three segments: Investment Banking, Private Banking and Asset Management. The three segments are complemented by Shared Services, which provides support in the areas of finance, operations, legal and compliance, risk management and information technology.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The segment information reflects the Group’s reportable segments as follows:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– Investment Banking supplies investment banking and securities products and services to corporate, institutional and government clients around the world. Its products and services include debt and equity underwriting, sales and trading, mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, corporate sales, restructuring and investment research.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|– Private Banking offers comprehensive advice and a broad range of wealth management solutions, including pension planning, life insurance products, tax planning and wealth and inheritance advice, which is tailored to the needs of high-net-worth individuals worldwide. In Switzerland, it supplies banking products and services to high-net-worth, corporate and retail clients.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|– Asset Management supplies products from the full range of investment classes (money market, fixed-income, equities, balanced and alternative investments) to meet the needs of institutional, government and private clients globally.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|In addition to the Group’s operating segments, the Corporate Center performs typical holding company functions for the benefit of the Group as a whole. The Corporate Center balances include expenses for projects sponsored by the Group, and consolidation adjustments. Minority interest-related revenues and expenses resulting from the consolidation of certain private equity funds and other entities in which the Group does not have a significant economic interest in such revenues and expenses are reported in the Corporate Center. Net income is unaffected by the consolidation of these entities due to offsetting minority interests.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The results of operations of the Winterthur segments, which were reported separately in prior years, are reflected in Income from discontinued operations, net of tax for all periods presented. For further information on the sale of Winterthur, see note 4 “Discontinued operations.”
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Revenue sharing and cost allocation
|-----------------------------------

|Responsibility for each product is allocated to a segment, which records all related revenues and expenses. Revenue-sharing agreements govern the compensation received by one segment for generating revenue on behalf of another. These agreements are negotiated periodically by the relevant segments on a product-by-product basis.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Certain administrative, finance and information technology services are managed by a Shared Services function, while certain services (primarily processing) are based within the segments. The Shared Services function is fully allocated to the segments. In addition, supplying segments receive compensation from the recipient segment on the basis of service level agreements and transfer payments. Service level agreements are negotiated periodically with regard to each individual service.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The aim of the revenue-sharing and cost allocation agreements is to reflect the pricing structure of unrelated third-party transactions.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements represent collateralized financing transactions used to earn Net interest income, increase liquidity or facilitate trading activity. These instruments are collateralized principally by government securities and money market instruments and have terms ranging from overnight to a longer or unspecified period of time. The Group monitors the fair value of securities received or delivered on a daily basis. For reverse repurchase agreements, the Group requests additional securities or the return of a portion of the cash disbursed in response to a decline in the market value of the securities received. Similarly, the return of excess securities or additional cash is requested in response to an increase in the market value of securities sold under repurchase agreements.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Securities borrowing and securities lending transactions are principally collateralized by cash or marketable securities. Securities borrowed and securities lent that are collateralized by cash are recorded at the amount of cash advanced and received. Securities lending transactions against non-cash collateral in which the Group has the right to resell or repledge the collateral received are recorded at the fair value of the collateral initially received. For securities lending transactions, the Group receives cash or securities collateral in an amount generally in excess of the market value of securities lent. The Group monitors the market value of securities borrowed and securities lent on a daily basis and additional collateral is obtained as necessary.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In the event of counterparty default, the repurchase agreement or securities lending agreement provides the Group with the right to liquidate the collateral held. In the Group’s normal course of business, substantially all of the collateral received that may be sold or repledged has been sold or repledged as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

|Management determined that the unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily attributable to general market interest rate, credit spread or exchange rate movements. No impairment charges were recorded as the Group has the intent and ability to hold the debt securities for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of the decline in market value below cost. The unrealized losses on investments in equity securities are primarily attributable to market fluctuations rather than to specific adverse conditions. Thus, no impairment charges were recorded on equity securities.

|The Group performs a regular impairment analysis of real estate portfolios. The carrying values of the impaired properties were written down to their respective fair values, establishing new cost bases. For these properties, the fair values were measured based on either discounted cash flow analyses or external market appraisals. In 2005 and 2004, impairment charges of CHF 20 million and CHF 6 million, respectively, were recorded and are included in Other revenues in the consolidated statements of income. There were no impairment charges in 2006.

|1) Primarily due to foreign currency translation impact on non-CHF-denominated goodwill.

|
|

|As a result of the integrated global bank reorganization on January 1, 2006, Goodwill was reallocated to the new operating segments. The decrease in Goodwill in 2006, which is included in Discontinued operations, is due to the sale of Winterthur. For further information on this divestiture, see note 4 “Discontinued operations.” The remaining decrease in Goodwill in 2006 and the increase in Goodwill in 2005 were caused primarily by foreign exchange fluctuations in Goodwill denominated in US dollars.

|Central for the calculation of fair value for life settlement contracts is the estimate of mortality rates. Individual mortality rates are typically obtained by multiplying a base mortality curve for the general insured population provided by a professional actuarial organization together with an individual-specific multiplier. Individual-specific multipliers are determined based on data obtained from third-party life expectancy data providers, which examine insured individual’s medical conditions, family history and other factors to arrive at a life expectancy estimate.

|1) Winterthur related line items which were previously disclosed separately comprised of net premiums and insurance balances receivable (CHF 6,029 million), reinsurance recoverables (CHF 1,229 million) and net deferred policy acquisition costs (CHF 3,940 million) as of December 31, 2005.

|As of December 31, 2006, the Group held CHF 53.2 billion of loans held-for-sale, which included CHF 14.3 billion in restricted loans, which represented collateral on secured borrowings, and CHF 4.7 billion in loans held in trusts, which are consolidated under FIN 46(R) as a result of failed sales.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group acquired certain loans during 2006 for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable at acquisition that all contractually required payments would not be collected. Those loans are held-for-sale and accounted for at LOCOM, consistent with other loans held-for-sale. No yield adjustment is recorded for the anticipated receipt of excess cash flows over the acquisition amount as the Group cannot reasonably estimate the cash flows which ultimately may be collected. At acquisition date, these loans amounted to CHF 981 million with remaining contractually required payments of CHF 1,244 million. As of December 31, 2006, the carrying amount of purchased impaired loans was CHF 470 million.

|The Group issues both CHF- and non-CHF-denominated fixed and variable rate bonds. The weighted average coupon is based on the contractual terms, although for zero coupon bonds the yield to maturity is applied. The Group uses derivative contracts, primarily interest rate and currency swaps, as hedges for some of its debt issues. The effects of these derivatives are not included in the interest rate range on the associated debt. Included are various equity-linked and other indexed instruments.

|The Group maintains a shelf registration statement with the SEC, which allows it to issue, from time to time, senior and subordinated debt securities, trust preferred securities and warrants to purchase equity, debt or other securities. The shelf registration statement also allows the Group to guarantee securities issued by a finance subsidiary. The Group expects to amend its shelf registration statement at the end of March 2007 to add the Bank as an issuer of non-convertible debt securities. For further information on the subsidiary guarantees, see note 36 “Supplementary subsidiary guarantee information.”

|In May 2006, the Group established a Euro medium-term note program, that allows it and its finance subsidiaries (guaranteed by the Group) to issue notes denominated in any currency up to EUR 10 billion.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In June 2006, Credit Suisse Group Finance (Guernsey) Limited, a finance subsidiary of the Group, filed with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau a Yen 500 billion shelf registration statement that allows it to issue, from time to time, senior and subordinated debt securities, guaranteed by the Group.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group Finance (Guernsey) Limited and Credit Suisse Group Finance (Luxembourg) S.A. (collectively, the “Finance Subsidiaries”) are 100% owned finance subsidiaries of the Group. In 2005, the Group guaranteed the securities previously issued by the Finance Subsidiaries and will fully and unconditionally guarantee any securities issued by the Finance Subsidiaries pursuant to its SEC registration statement. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Group to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividends or loans.

|1) The allocation of undistributed income related to the mandatory convertible securities is a reduction to the net income available to common shareholders for the purposes of the basic earnings per share calculation.      2) Under the if-converted method for calculating diluted EPS, the interest on the mandatory convertible securities is included when the effect is dilutive.      3) Weighted-average potential common shares relating to instruments that were not dilutive for the respective periods (and therefore not included in the diluted EPS calculation above), but could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future, were 38.0 million, 56.0 million and 39.2 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

|1) In 2005, following changes in the Zurich cantonal tax law, the statutory tax rate applicable to the Group decreased to 22%.       2) In 2006 and 2005 there was a tax benefit of CHF 115 million and CHF 325 million, respectively, resulting from the release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets on net operating loss carry-forwards, offset by additions.      3) Included in 2006, 2005 and 2004 is an amount of CHF 109 million, CHF 131 million and CHF 213 million, respectively, relating to the release of tax contingency accruals following the favorable resolution of tax matters. 2005 also included a charge of CHF 146 million relating to the reversal of deferred tax assets on net operating loss carry-forwards, which was offset by an equivalent release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets on net operating loss carry-forwards.

|As of December 31, 2006, the Group had accumulated undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries of CHF 11.4 billion. No deferred tax was recorded in respect of those amounts, as these earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for these undistributed foreign earnings.

|Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the temporary differences are deductible and tax loss carry-forwards are realizable, management believes it is more likely than not that the Group will realize the benefits of these deductible differences and tax loss carry-forwards, net of existing valuation allowances as of December 31, 2006. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are reduced.

|Significant judgment is required in evaluating certain tax positions. The Group accrues for tax contingencies when, despite the belief that its tax return positions are fully supportable, certain positions could be challenged and the Group’s positions may not be probable of being fully sustained. Once established, tax contingency accruals are adjusted due to changing facts and circumstances, such as case law, progress of tax audits or when an event occurs requiring a change to the tax contingency accruals. Management regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes to determine the appropriateness of provisions for income taxes. Although the outcome of any dispute is uncertain, management believes that it has appropriately accrued for any unfavorable outcome.

|Tax benefits associated with share-based compensation
|-----------------------------------------------------

|Tax benefits associated with share-based compensation recorded in the consolidated statements of income was CHF 518 million, CHF 683 million and CHF 276 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For further information on share-based compensation, see note 24 "Employee share-based compensation and other benefits."
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|If, upon settlement of share-based compensation, the tax deduction exceeds the cumulative compensation cost that the Group had recognized in the consolidated financial statements, the tax benefit associated with any excess deduction is considered a "windfall" and recognized in Shareholders' equity as Additional paid-in capital and reflected as a financing cash inflow in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Group realized windfall tax benefits of CHF 252 million, CHF 46 million and CHF 143 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, upon settlement of share-based compensation. However, windfall deductions of CHF 567 million relating to share-based compensation in 2005 did not result in a reduction of income taxes payable because certain entities are in a net operating loss position. When the income tax benefit of these deductions is realized, CHF 198 million tax benefit will be recorded in Additional paid-in capital.

|24 Employee share-based compensation and other benefits
|-------------------------------------------------------

|Share-based compensation
|------------------------

|The Group’s share-based compensation is an important part of the overall compensation package for select employees and senior executives. Share-based compensation is designed to promote employee retention and align the interests of employees and shareholders. The majority of share-based compensation is granted as part of the annual incentive performance bonus subsequent to the fiscal year to which the incentive performance bonus relates. Share-based compensation is generally subject to restrictive features such as vesting, forfeiture and blocking rules.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Compensation expense
|--------------------

|Compensation expense in any year includes a variable compensation expense for that year’s discretionary cash performance bonus and fixed expenses for share-based awards granted in prior years. Recognition in the consolidated statements of income of expense relating to awards granted in prior years is dependent primarily upon the vesting period, which is determined by the plan, retirement eligibility of employees, moratorium periods and certain other terms.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Total compensation expense for share-based compensation recognized in the consolidated statements of income in Compensation and benefitswas CHF 1,646 million, CHF 2,181 million and CHF 891 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in 2006 versus 2005 was due to the introduction of a two year minimum service period for the 2006 grants to retirement-eligible employees and the recognition of less expense in 2006 as a result of the acceleration in vesting of share-based awards granted in 2005. The increase in 2005 was primarily caused by the recognition of expense for shared-based compensation to employees eligible for early retirement and the initial recognition of expense for Performance Incentive Plan (PIP) units granted in January 2005. As of December 31, 2006, the total estimated unrecognized compensation expense of CHF 1,808 million related to non-vested share-based compensation will be recognized over the remaining weighted-average requisite service period of 1.5 years.

|The Group generally repurchases its own shares in the open market to satisfy these obligations but can also issue new shares out of available conditional capital. In 2006, the Group delivered approximately 20.1 million shares to employees. The Group expects to repurchase approximately 28 million shares during 2007 in connection with its share-based compensation.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Fair value assumptions for share-based compensation
|---------------------------------------------------

|In estimating the fair value for shared-based compensation, where an observable independent quoted market price is not available, the fair value is calculated on the grant date based on valuation techniques and/or option-pricing models that most accurately reflect the substantive characteristics of the instrument being valued. The underlying assumptions used in the models are determined based on management’s assessment of the current market and historical information available at the date of grant that marketplace participants would likely use in determining an exchange price for the instruments.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The inputs for expected volatility and dividend yield used in estimating fair values are based upon the implied market volatility and dividend yield of traded options on Credit Suisse Group shares, the historical volatility and dividend yield of the Group’s stock and other relevant factors that indicate how the future is expected to differ from the past. The expected risk-free interest rate is based on the current LIBOR rate at the date of grant that corresponds with the expected term of the award. LIBOR rates are used as a proxy for risk-free interest rates because zero-coupon government issues do not exist in Switzerland. The expected term represents the period of time that the awards are expected to be outstanding and is based on the contractual term of each instrument, taking into account employees’ historical exercise and termination behavior.

|Shares
|------

|The Group’s share-based compensation in prior years has included three different types of share awards: phantom shares; longevity premium awards (LPA); and special awards. These share awards entitle the holder to receive one Credit Suisse Group registered share subject to continued employment with the Group, restrictive covenants and cancellation provisions, and generally vest between zero and three years. In 2006, the Group introduced the Incentive Share Unit (ISU) share-based plan described below to replace the phantom share and LPA awards granted in prior years.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Phantom shares vest in three equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date and convert to registered Credit Suisse Group shares within 120 days of vesting or are blocked for a period of one year after the shares vest depending on the location of the grant recipient.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|LPAs vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date and either convert to Credit Suisse Group shares within 120 days of vesting or are blocked for a period of one year after the shares vest depending on the location of the grant recipient.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Special awards are generally shares granted to new employees and are in addition to the annual bonus grants. These special awards may contain vesting depending on the terms of employment.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The compensation expense recognized in 2006 related to shares awarded under phantom share, LPA and special awards was CHF 1,184 million. The estimated unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards as of December 31, 2006, was CHF 1,113 million.

|Share options
|-------------

|Options were a substantial component of the Group’s share-based program prior to 2004. The Group has discontinued the practice of issuing options and the majority of the original grants have since vested. Share options were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Credit Suisse Group’s shares on the date of grant and expire after ten years.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 2006, 2005 and 2004 was CHF 12.12, CHF 9.50 and CHF 14.62, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was CHF 1,256 million and the weighted-average remaining contractual term was 4.5 years. As of December 31, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was CHF 1,104 million and the weighted-average remaining contractual term was 4.4 years. As of the exercise date, the total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2006, 2005 and 2004 was CHF 235 million, CHF 141 million and CHF 97 million, respectively. Cash received from option exercises during 2006, 2005 and 2004 was CHF 330 million, CHF 196 million and CHF 83 million, respectively.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As of December 31, 2006, there were 3.5 million fully vested and exercisable options outstanding containing a cash settlement feature. These options had a weighted-average exercise price of CHF 67.11 and a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 2.7 years. During 2006 there were no exercises or forfeitures of options with a cash settlement feature and 0.6 million of these options were settled for CHF 13.5 million in cash.

|Performance Incentive Plan (PIP)
|--------------------------------

|As part of its annual incentive performance bonus process for 2004 and 2005, the Group granted performance incentive plan units (“PIP units”) during 2005 (PIP I) and 2006 (PIP II), respectively. PIP units are long-term retention incentive awards requiring continued employment with the Group, subject to restrictive covenants and cancellation provisions, and vest evenly over a five-year period. Each PIP unit will settle for a specified number of Credit Suisse Group registered shares subsequent to the fifth anniversary of the grant date based on the achievement of: i) earnings performance as compared to predefined targets (“performance conditions”); and ii) share price performance compared to predefined targets and share price performance relative to peers (“market conditions”). The performance conditions will determine the multiplier, ranging between zero and three for the final number of PIP units. The market conditions will determine the number of shares that each PIP unit will convert into at settlement date. This will range between zero and three shares for PIP I and zero and two shares for PIP II. The PIP I units granted in 2005 will ultimately settle for between zero and nine shares and the PIP II units granted in 2006 will ultimately settle for between zero and six shares.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The achievement of the share price targets and relative share price performance for PIP I is measured based on the Group’s average share price over a three-month period prior to settlement and can result in the delivery of a minimum of zero shares at a share price below CHF 30 and a maximum of three shares at a share price of CHF 90 or higher. The achievement of the share price targets and relative share price performance for the PIP II is measured based on the Group’s average share price over a three-month period prior to settlement and can result in the delivery of a minimum of zero shares at a share price below CHF 47 and a maximum of two shares at a share price of CHF 160 or higher.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Compensation expense for employees who are eligible for retirement at the grant date, or who become eligible for retirement during the scheduled vesting period, is determined by taking the number of PIP units expected to vest multiplied by their grant date fair value. The fair values of the PIP I and PIP II units granted to these employees were CHF 83.75 and CHF 145.36, respectively. These fair values were determined taking into account the estimated outcome of both the performance and market conditions, are fixed at the grant date, and are not remeasured or adjusted subsequent to the grant date unless the terms and conditions of the award are modified.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Compensation expense for employees who do not become eligible for retirement during the scheduled vesting period is determined by taking the number of PIP units expected to vest multiplied by both their grant date fair value and estimated outcome of the performance condition. The grant date fair values of the PIP I and PIP II units granted to these employees were CHF 51.70 and CHF 79.87, respectively. These fair values consider an estimated outcome for the market conditions, are fixed at the grant date and are not remeasured or adjusted subsequent to the grant date unless the terms and conditions of the award are modified. Management reassesses its estimate of the outcome of the performance conditions annually and adjusts compensation expense accordingly. Based on the estimated outcome of the performance condition as of December 31, 2006, the compensation expense reflects a conversion of each initial PIP I and PIP II award into 3.0 PIP units at the end of the vesting period. However, these estimates depend upon the market environment and the Group’s financial performance over the remainder of the vesting periods and, therefore, management cannot predict whether the number of PIP units will be the maximum of three or a lesser amount.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The compensation expense recognized during 2006 related to PIP I and PIP II was CHF 462 million. The estimated unrecognized compensation expense related to PIP I and PIP II as of December 31, 2006, is CHF 695 million. None of the PIP units were convertible as of December 31, 2006.

|Credit Suisse Incentive Share Unit (ISU)
|----------------------------------------

|In January 2007, as part of the 2006 remuneration process, the Group aligned its share-based compensation plans and introduced ISUs. Previously granted awards will continue to settle under their original terms and are not affected by the ISU.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For each ISU granted, the employee will receive at least one Credit Suisse Group share. In addition, the leverage component can deliver additional upside which will be determined by the monthly average Credit Suisse Group share price over the three year period following grant. The final value of each ISU is paid in registered shares of Credit Suisse Group. The total number of shares received for each ISU will equal the final value divided by the share price at maturity (i.e., three years), however, holders will always receive at least one Credit Suisse Group share per ISU. The total payout for each ISU is subject to a cap of three times the value of a Credit Suisse Group share at grant date (CHF 86.24 per share), which is reached at an average share price of CHF 132.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Each ISU will vest at a rate of one third of a share per year over three years, with the potential additional shares vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date, depending on the development of the leverage component. Shares will be delivered for vested ISUs within 120 days of each vesting date. Settlement of ISUs is subject to continued employment at the Group and certain retirement arrangements.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The recognition of accounting expense for the 26.7 million ISUs granted on January 23, 2007, began in 2007 and thus had no impact on the 2006 consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the ISU base component of CHF 87.30 was based on the closing price of a Credit Suisse Group share on the grant date. The fair value of the ISU leverage component of CHF 20.85 was based on a valuation using an expected volatility of 22.95%, an expected dividend yield of 2.4%, an expected risk-free interest rate of 2.6% and an expected term of three years. The estimated unrecognized compensation expense of CHF 2,371 million will be recognized over a period of three years, subject to the early retirement rules.

|Board of Directors compensation
|-------------------------------

|Overview
|--------

|Compensation to members of the Board of Directors is set in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Compensation Committee Charter. The annual compensation paid to members of the Board is fixed and set by the Board of Directors based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. Compensation for members of the Board of Directors with no functional duties (ten individuals) is in the form of cash (35%) and Credit Suisse Group registered shares (65%), which are blocked for a period of four years.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Members of the Board of Directors with functional, non-executive duties (three individuals) receive variable compensation for their services, in addition to fixed compensation as set by the Board of Directors. Such compensation is paid in the form of cash and/or Credit Suisse Group registered shares, blocked for a period of four years, as determined by the Compensation Committee.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Executive compensation
|----------------------

|Credit Suisse Group’s approach to executive compensation
|--------------------------------------------------------

|In line with Credit Suisse Group’s overall approach to compensation, the Group’s executive compensation policies are designed to attract executives of the highest quality, to retain them by rewarding them for superior performance and to motivate them for outstanding performance in the future. In addition, compensation should encourage strong teamwork and a meaningful alignment with the One Bank strategy and the interests of shareholders.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Furthermore, and in support of the above objectives, the Compensation Committee established a bonus pool framework linked directly to the performance of Credit Suisse for the Group Executive Board, including the Chief Executive Officer. The bonus pool was used to define the total amount available for bonus payments, which were then delivered in cash and deferred share-based compensation. At the beginning of the year, a target bonus pool for this executive population was set assuming specific, pre-defined Credit Suisse financial and non-financial performance goals would be achieved in 2006. At the conclusion of the year, the Compensation Committee performed an assessment versus those goals and then modified the size of the available bonus pool based on actual results. The final bonus pool was then distributed to the members of the Group Executive Board and the Chief Executive Officer based on individual contributions, business performance and competitive compensation levels.

|The performance criteria used in this framework of determining the size of the total bonus pool for the Group Executive Board and the Chief Executive Officer included the following:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- the financial performance of the Group adjusted for extraordinary items compared to the strategic business plan;
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- assessment of delivery of defined non-financial targets in relation to the Group’s strategy;
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- consideration of the Group’s performance against the performance of its peer companies;
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- measurement against market information of companies with similar scope and complexity; and
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|- measurement of shareholder satisfaction, assessed by reviewing objective data regarding the Group’s financial performance, with a focus on revenue growth, pre-tax margin growth, return on equity and earnings per share.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|This approach is designed to assess performance in relation to the delivery of the strategic plan and satisfaction of the expectations of shareholders.

|Executive compensation components
|---------------------------------

|In line with the Group’s overall approach, executive compensation consists of a fixed salary and a variable performance bonus. Salaries for members of the Group Executive Board are reviewed annually. Salaries are set at similar levels for each member. The annual performance bonus usually represents the most significant part of an executive’s total compensation package and varies from year to year depending on the executive’s performance. Part of the bonus is awarded in cash and a part in share-based awards. As a matter of policy, share-based awards are usually a material portion of each executive’s compensation and are subject to vesting, holding and future performance requirements.

|Credit Suisse Group’s executive compensation in 2006
|----------------------------------------------------

|Executive compensation for 2006 is based on the general approach set out above. In 2006, the members of the Group Executive Board (eight individuals) received on average, as a percentage of their total compensation, 6% salary, 49% cash bonus and 45% share-based awards.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The mandatory deferral amount of the total bonus for the Chief Executive Officer and the Group Executive Board was based on the approved share plan deferral schedule.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In previous years, members of the Group Executive Board participated in the bank-wide share-based compensation plan, and for 2006 performance received ISUs or shares granted in January 2007. This participation is designed to ensure that executive compensation is in line with the Group’s overall approach to compensation.

|1) The number of individuals with outstanding loans at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year was five and six, respectively.

|
|

|A large majority of loans outstanding to members of the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group and the Group Executive Board are mortgages or loans against securities. Such loans are made on the same terms available to third-party customers or pursuant to widely available employee benefit plans.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|All mortgage loans to members of the Group Executive Board are granted either with variable interest rates or with fixed interest rates over a certain period. Typically, fixed mortgages are granted for periods of up to five years, in some cases up to ten years. Interest rates applied are based on refinancing costs plus a margin and interest rates and other terms are consistent with those applicable to other employees. Loans against securities are granted at interest rates and on terms applicable to such loans granted to other employees. Interest rates applied are based on refinancing costs plus a margin. When granting a loan to these individuals, the same credit approval and risk assessment procedures apply as for loans to other employees.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Members of the Board of Directors are not granted employee conditions on any loans extended to them, but such loans are subject to conditions applied to customers with a comparable credit standing. In addition to loans extended directly to members of the Board of Directors, banking subsidiaries of Credit Suisse Group have entered into financing and other banking agreements with companies in which current members of the Board of Directors have a significant influence. As of December 31, 2006, the total exposure to such related parties amounted to CHF 3.6 million, including all advances and contingent liabilities, and was in the ordinary course of business and granted at arm’s-length. The highest exposure to such related parties for any of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, did not exceed in aggregate CHF 61 million.

|Credit Suisse Group, together with its subsidiaries, is a global financial services provider and, in particular, has major corporate banking operations in Switzerland. The Group, therefore, typically has relationships with many large companies including those in which Credit Suisse Group Board members assume management functions or board member responsibilities. All relationships between Credit Suisse Group or its banking subsidiaries and members of the Board of Directors and their affiliated companies are in the ordinary course of business and at arm’s-length.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition, one of the Group’s indirect subsidiaries has invested USD 60 million in an investment fund managed by a registered investment adviser owned and controlled by two close family members of a member of the Executive Board of the Bank. The terms of the investment, including the fund’s structure and fee arrangements, were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis with the investment adviser.

|Liabilities due to own pension funds
|------------------------------------

|Liabilities due to the Group’s own pension funds as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, of CHF 864 million and CHF 791 million, respectively, are reflected in various liability accounts in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|26 Pension and other post-retirement benefits
|---------------------------------------------

|The Group has defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution pension plans and other post-retirement defined benefit plans. The Group’s principal plans are located in Switzerland, the United States and the United Kingdom. The measurement date for the Group’s defined benefit pension and other post-retirement defined benefit plans is September 30.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Swiss pension plans
|-------------------

|The Group’s Swiss pension funds cover its employees in Switzerland, and are defined benefit plans set up as trusts domiciled in Zurich. The pension plan benefits meet or exceed the minimum benefits required under Swiss law. The defined benefit plans in Switzerland comprise approximately 70% of all the Group’s employees participating in defined benefit plans, approximately 85% of the fair value of plan assets and approximately 80% of the pension benefit obligation of the defined benefit plans of the Group.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Employee contributions are calculated as a percentage of the employees’ salary level and age, varying between 7.5% and 10.5%. The Group’s contributions are 167% of the employees’ contributions for the Credit Suisse Group main pension plan.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|International pension plans
|---------------------------

|Various pension plans, including both defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, cover the Group’s employees in non-Swiss locations. These plans provide defined benefits in the event of retirement, death, disability or employment termination. Retirement benefits under the plans depend on age, contributions and salary. The Group’s funding policy with respect to these plans is consistent with local government and tax requirements. The assumptions used are derived based on local economic conditions.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other post-retirement defined benefit plans
|-------------------------------------------

|In the United States, the Group sponsors other post-retirement defined benefit plans that provide health and welfare benefits for certain retired employees.

|As of December 31, 2006, CHF 2,110 million of actuarial losses and CHF 117 million of prior service costs included in AOCI have not yet been recognized as a component of Net periodic pension costs. At December 31, 2006, no net transition obligation is included in AOCIand as a consequence, no further amortization will be recorded inNet periodic pension costs. In the 2007 fiscal year, the Group expects to recognize CHF 116 million of AOCI as components of Net periodic pension costs.

|As of September 30, 2006 and 2005, an annual weighted-average discount rate of 5.8% and 5.5%, respectively, was assumed in measuring the other post-retirement defined benefit obligation. For 2006 and 2005, an average discount rate of 5.5% and 6.0%, respectively, was assumed in measuring the other post-retirement defined benefit costs.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In determining other post-retirement defined benefit costs for 2006 and 2005, an annual weighted-average rate of 10.0% for both years in the cost of covered health care benefits was assumed. The rate is assumed to decrease gradually to 4.5% by 2012 and remain at that level thereafter. A 1% increase or decrease in the health care cost trend rate assumption would not have had a material impact on the amount of the accumulated post-retirement defined benefit obligation or expense in 2006 or 2005.

|The Credit Suisse Group defined benefit pension plans employ a total return investment approach, whereby a diversified mix of equity and fixed income securities and alternative investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets while incurring a prudent level of risk. The intent of this strategy is to outperform plan liabilities over the long term in order to minimize plan expenses. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial condition. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across Swiss and non-Swiss stocks as well as among growth, value, and small and large capitalization stocks. Other assets, such as real estate, private equity and hedge funds, are used to enhance long-term returns while improving portfolio diversification. Derivatives may be used to take market exposure, but are not used to leverage the portfolio beyond the market value of the underlying investments. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through periodic asset/liability studies and quarterly investment portfolio reviews. To limit investment risk, the Credit Suisse Group pension plan follows defined strategic asset allocation guidelines. Depending on the market conditions, these guidelines are even more limited on a short-term basis.

|Defined contribution pension plans
|----------------------------------

|Credit Suisse Group also contributes to various defined contribution pension plans primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom but also in other countries throughout the world. The Group’s contributions to these plans during 2006, 2005 and 2004 were CHF 247 million, CHF 253 million and CHF 114 million, respectively.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|27 Derivatives and hedging activities
|-------------------------------------

|Derivatives are generally either privately negotiated OTC contracts or standard contracts transacted through regulated exchanges. The Group’s most frequently used freestanding derivative products, entered into for trading and risk management purposes, include interest rate, cross-currency and credit default swaps, interest rate and foreign currency options, foreign exchange forward contracts, and foreign currency and interest rate futures.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Further, the Group enters into contracts that are not considered derivatives in their entirety but include embedded derivative features. Such transactions primarily include issued and purchased structured debt instruments where the return may be calculated by reference to an equity security, index, or third-party credit risk, or that have non-standard interest or foreign currency terms.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Group designates the derivative as belonging to one of the following categories:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(i) trading activities;
|-----------------------

|(ii) a risk management transaction that does not qualify as a hedge under accounting standards (referred to as an economic hedge);
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(iii) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability;
|-------------------------------------------------------------------

|(iv) a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability or a forecasted transaction; or
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(v) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
|-------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Trading activities
|------------------

|The Group is active in most of the principal trading markets and transacts in many popular trading and hedging products. As noted above, this includes the use of swaps, futures, options and structured products (custom transactions using combinations of derivatives) in connection with its sales and trading activities. Trading activities include market-making, positioning and arbitrage activities. The majority of the Group’s derivatives held as of December 31, 2006 were used for trading activities.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Economic hedges
|---------------

|Economic hedges arise when the Group enters into derivative contracts for its own risk management purposes, but the contracts entered into do not qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP.  These economic hedges include the following types:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– interest rate derivatives to manage net interest rate risk on certain core banking business assets and liabilities;
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– foreign exchange derivatives to manage foreign exchange risk on certain core banking business revenue and expense items, as well as on core banking business assets and liabilities; and
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– credit derivatives to manage credit risk on certain loan portfolios.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Hedge accounting
|----------------

|Fair value hedges
|-----------------

|The Group designates fair value hedges as part of an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In addition to hedging changes in fair value due to interest rate risk associated with fixed-rate loans, repos and long-term debt instruments, the Group uses:
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– cross-currency swaps to convert foreign currency denominated fixed rate assets or liabilities to floating rate functional currency assets or liabilities; and
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|– foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with available-for-sale securities.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|Cash flow hedges
|----------------

|The Group uses cash flow hedging strategies to mitigate its risk to variability of cash flows on loans, deposits and other debt obligations by using interest rate swaps to convert variable rate assets or liabilities to fixed rates. The Group also uses cross-currency swaps to convert foreign currency denominated fixed and floating rate assets or liabilities to fixed rate assets or liabilities based on the currency profile that the Group elects to be exposed to. This includes, but is not limited to, Swiss francs and US dollars. Further, the Group uses derivatives to hedge its cash flows associated with forecasted transactions.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The maximum length of time over which the Group hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions, excluding those forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments, is 22 months.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Net investment hedges
|---------------------

|The Group typically uses forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge selected net investments in foreign operations. The objective of these hedging transactions is to protect against adverse movements in foreign exchange rates.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Hedge effectiveness assessment
|------------------------------

|The Group assesses the effectiveness of hedging relationships both prospectively and retrospectively. The prospective assessment is made both at the inception of a hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis and requires the Group to justify its expectation that the relationship will be highly effective over future periods. The retrospective assessment is also performed on an ongoing basis and requires the Group to determine whether or not the hedging relationship has actually been effective. If the Group concludes, through a retrospective evaluation, that hedge accounting is appropriate for the current period, then it measures the amount of hedge ineffectiveness to be recognized in earnings.

|Credit guarantees and similar instruments
|-----------------------------------------

|Credit guarantees and similar instruments are contracts that require the Group to make payments should a third party fail to do so under a specified existing credit obligation. For example, in connection with its corporate lending business and other corporate activities, the Group provides guarantees to counterparties in the form of standby letters of credit, which represent obligations to make payments to third parties if the counterparties fail to fulfill their obligations under a borrowing arrangement or other contractual obligation.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As part of the Group’s commercial mortgage activities in the United States, the Group sells certain commercial and residential mortgages that it has originated or purchased to the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and agrees to bear a percentage of the losses should the borrowers fail to perform. The Group also issues guarantees that require it to reimburse the FNMA for losses on certain whole loans underlying mortgage-backed securities issued by the FNMA.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group also provides guarantees to VIEs and other counterparties under which it may be required to buy assets from such entities upon the occurrence of certain triggering events.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Performance guarantees and similar instruments
|----------------------------------------------

|Performance guarantees and similar instruments are arrangements that require contingent payments to be made when certain performance-related targets or covenants are not met. Such covenants may include a customer’s obligation to deliver certain products and services or to perform under a construction contract. Performance guarantees are frequently executed as part of project finance transactions.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Under certain circumstances, the Group has provided investors in private equity funds sponsored by a Group entity guarantees of potential obligations of certain general partners to return amounts previously paid as carried interest to those general partners. To manage its exposure, the Group generally withholds a portion of carried interest distributions to cover any repayment obligations. In addition, pursuant to certain contractual arrangements, the Group is obligated to make cash payments to certain investors in certain private equity funds if specified performance thresholds are not met.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Further, as part of the Group’s residential mortgage securitization activities in the United States, the Group may guarantee the collection by the servicer and remittance to the securitization trust of prepayment penalties.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Securities lending indemnifications
|-----------------------------------

|Securities lending indemnifications are arrangements in which the Group agrees to indemnify securities lending customers against losses incurred in the event that security borrowers do not return securities subject to the lending agreement and the collateral held is insufficient to cover the market value of the securities borrowed.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Derivatives
|-----------

|Derivatives disclosed as guarantees are issued in the ordinary course of business, generally in the form of written put options and credit default swaps. Derivative contracts that may be cash settled, and which the Group has no basis for concluding that it is probable that the counterparties held the underlying instruments at the inception of the contracts, are not considered guarantees under FIN No. 45, “Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others - An Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34.” For derivative contracts executed with counterparties which generally act as financial intermediaries, such as investment banks, hedge funds and security dealers, the Group has concluded that there is no basis to assume that these counterparties hold the underlying instruments related to the derivative contracts and, therefore, does not report such contracts as guarantees.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group manages its exposure to these derivatives by engaging in various hedging strategies to reduce its exposure. For some contracts, such as written interest rate caps or foreign exchange options, the maximum payout is not determinable as interest rates or exchange rates could theoretically rise without limit. For these contracts, notional amounts are disclosed in the table above in order to provide an indication of the underlying exposure. In addition, the Group carries all derivatives at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other guarantees
|----------------

|Other guarantees include bankers’ acceptances, residual value guarantees, deposit insurance, contingent considerations in business combinations, the minimum value of an investment in mutual funds or private equity funds and all other guarantees that are not allocated to one of the captions above.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Deposit-taking banks in Switzerland and certain other European countries are required to ensure the payout of privileged deposits in case of specified restrictions or compulsory liquidation of a deposit-taking bank. Upon occurrence of a payout event, the Group’s contribution will be calculated based on its share of privileged deposits in proportion to total privileged deposits. These deposit insurance guarantees are reflected in Other guarantees in the table above. The Group believes that the likelihood of having to pay under these agreements is remote.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Disposal-related contingencies and other indemnifications
|---------------------------------------------------------

|The Group has certain guarantees for which its maximum contingent liability cannot be quantified. These guarantees are not reflected in the table above and are discussed below.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Disposal-related contingencies
|------------------------------

|In connection with the sale of assets or businesses, the Group sometimes provides the acquirer with certain indemnification provisions. These indemnification provisions vary by counterparty in scope and duration and depend upon the type of assets or businesses sold. These indemnification provisions generally shift the potential risk of certain unquantifiable and unknowable loss contingencies (e.g., relating to litigation, tax and intellectual property matters) from the acquirer to the seller. The Group closely monitors all such contractual agreements in order to ensure that indemnification provisions are adequately provided for in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Other indemnifications
|----------------------

|The Group provides indemnifications to certain counterparties in connection with its normal operating activities, for which it is not possible to estimate the maximum amount that it could be obligated to pay. As a normal part of issuing its own securities, the Group typically agrees to reimburse holders for additional tax withholding charges or assessments resulting from changes in applicable tax laws or the interpretation of those laws. Securities that include these agreements to pay additional amounts generally also include a related redemption or call provision if the obligation to pay the additional amounts result from a change in law or its interpretation and the obligation cannot be avoided by the issuer taking reasonable steps to avoid the payment of additional amounts. Since such potential obligations are dependent on future changes in tax laws, the related liabilities the Group may incur as a result of such changes cannot be reasonably estimated. In light of the related call provisions typically included, the Group does not expect any potential liabilities in respect of tax gross-ups to be material.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group is a member of numerous securities exchanges and clearing houses and may, as a result of its membership arrangements, be required to perform if another member defaults. The Group has determined that it is not possible to estimate the maximum amount of these obligations and believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these arrangements is remote.

|Securitization activity
|-----------------------

|The Group originates and purchases commercial and residential mortgages for the purpose of securitization. The Group sells these mortgage loans to qualified special purpose entities (QSPEs) or other VIEs, which are not consolidated by the Group. These QSPEs issue securities that are backed by the assets transferred to the QSPEs and pay a return based on the returns on those assets. Investors in these mortgage-backed securities typically have recourse to the assets in the QSPEs. The investors and the QSPEs have no recourse to the Group’s assets. The Group is an underwriter of, and makes a market in, these securities.

|1) Includes underwriting revenues, deferred origination fees, gains or losses on the sale of collateral to the QSPE or VIE and gains or losses on the sale of the newly issued securities to third parties, but excludes net interest revenues on assets prior to securitization. The gains or losses on the sale of the collateral is the difference between the fair value on the day prior to the securitization pricing date and the sale price of the loans.       2) Primarily home equity loans.

|The Group may retain interests in these securitized assets in connection with its underwriting and market-making activities. The Group’s exposure in its securitization activities is generally limited to its retained interests. Retained interests in securitized financial assets are included at fair value in Trading assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Any changes in the fair value of these retained interests are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The fair values of retained interests are determined using fair value estimation techniques, such as the present value of estimated future cash flows that incorporate assumptions that market participants customarily use in these valuation techniques. The Group does not retain material servicing responsibilities from its securitization transactions.

|Gains and losses on securitization transactions depend in part on the carrying values of mortgages and CDOs involved in the transfer, and are allocated between the mortgages and CDOs sold and any retained interests according to the relative fair values at the date of sale.

|1) To deter prepayment, commercial mortgage loans typically have prepayment protection in the form of prepayment lockouts and yield maintenances.       2) CDOs are generally structured to be protected from prepayment risk.       3) Prepayment speed assumption (PSA) is an industry standard prepayment speed metric used for projecting prepayments over the life of a residential mortgage loan. PSA utilizes the Constant Prepayment Rate (CPR) assumptions. A 100% prepayment assumption assumes a prepayment rate of 0.2% per annum of the outstanding principal balance of mortgage loans in the first month. This increases by 0.2% thereafter during the term of the mortgage loan, leveling off to a CPR of 6% per annum beginning in the 30th month and each month thereafter during the term of the mortgage loan. 100 PSA equals 6 CPR.       4) The rate is based on the weighted-average yield on the retained interest.      5) of which CHF 55 million, or 9%, CHF 570 million, or 13%, CHF 82 million, or 11%, and CHF 66 million, or 100% relating to CMBS, RMBS, CDO and ABS, respectively, is non-investment grade.

|These sensitivities are hypothetical and do not reflect the benefits of hedging activities. Changes in fair value based on a 10% or 20% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interests is calculated without changing any other assumption. In practice, changes in one assumption may result in changes in other assumptions (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

|Variable interest entities
|--------------------------

|FIN 46(R) requires the Group to consolidate all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary, defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of expected losses, receive a majority of the expected residual returns, or both.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As a normal part of its business, the Group engages in transactions with entities that are considered VIEs. These transactions include selling or purchasing assets, acting as a counterparty in derivatives transactions and providing liquidity, credit or other support. Transactions with VIEs are generally executed to facilitate securitization activities or to meet specific client needs, such as providing liquidity or investment opportunities, and as part of these activities, the Group may retain interests in VIEs. In general, investors in consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Group in the event of a default, except where a guarantee was provided to the investors or where the Group is the counterparty to a derivative transaction involving VIEs.

|As of December 31, 2006, the Group consolidated all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary under FIN 46(R). Net income was unaffected as offsetting minority interests were recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

|The Group’s involvement with VIEs may be broadly grouped into three primary categories: CDOs, Commercial paper conduits (CP conduits) and Financial intermediation.

|Collateralized debt obligations
|-------------------------------

|As part of its structured finance business, the Group purchases loans and other debt obligations from and on behalf of clients for the purpose of securitization. The loans and other debt obligations are sold to QSPEs or VIEs that issue CDOs. VIEs issue CDOs to fund the purchase of assets such as investment-grade and high-yield corporate debt instruments. The Group engages in CDO transactions to meet client and investor needs, earn fees and sell financial assets.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In connection with its CDO activities, the Group may act as underwriter, placement agent or asset manager and may warehouse assets prior to the closing of a transaction. The Group may also act as a derivatives counterparty to the VIEs and may invest in portions of the notes or equity issued by the VIEs. The Group also participates in synthetic CDO transactions, which use credit default swaps to exchange the underlying credit risk instead of using cash assets in a separate legal entity. The CDO entities may have actively managed (open) portfolios or static or unmanaged (closed) portfolios.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group has consolidated all CDO VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary resulting in the inclusion by the Group of approximately CHF 6.5 billion and CHF 3.4 billion of assets and liabilities of these VIEs as of December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. The increase in Total assets consolidated primarily reflected the application of FSP FIN 46(R)-6. The beneficial interests issued by these VIEs are payable solely from the cash flows of the related collateral, and the creditors of these VIEs do not have recourse to the Group in the event of default.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group also retains certain debt and equity interests in open CDO VIEs that are not consolidated because the Group is not the primary beneficiary. The Group’s exposure in these CDO transactions typically consists of the interests retained in connection with its underwriting or market-making activities. The Group’s maximum loss exposure is generally equal to the carrying value of these retained interests, which are reported as Trading assets and carried at fair value and totaled CHF 1.7 billion and CHF 1.0 billion as of December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Commercial paper conduits
|-------------------------

|The Group continues to act as the administrator and provider of liquidity and credit enhancement facilities for several CP conduits. These CP conduits purchase assets, primarily receivables, from clients and provide liquidity through the issuance of commercial paper backed by these assets. The clients provide credit support to investors of the CP conduits in the form of over-collateralization and other asset-specific enhancements as described below. The Group does not sell assets to the CP conduits and does not have any ownership interest in the CP conduits.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group’s commitments to CP conduits consist of obligations under liquidity and credit enhancement agreements. The liquidity agreements are asset-specific arrangements, which require the Group to purchase assets from the CP conduits in certain circumstances, such as if the CP conduits are unable to access the commercial paper markets. Credit enhancement agreements, which may be asset-specific or program-wide, require the Group to purchase certain assets under any condition, including default. In entering into such agreements, the Group reviews the credit risk associated with these transactions on the same basis that would apply to other extensions of credit.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As of December 31, 2006, the Group’s maximum loss exposure to non-consolidated CP conduits was CHF 12.5 billion, which consisted of CHF 7.0 billion of funded assets and the CP conduits’ commitments to purchase CHF 5.5 billion of additional assets. As of December 31, 2005, the Group’s maximum loss exposure was CHF 14.2 billion.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group believes that the likelihood of incurring a loss equal to this maximum exposure is remote because the assets held by the CP conduits, after giving effect to related asset-specific credit enhancement primarily provided by the clients, must be classified as investment grade when acquired by the CP conduits.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Financial intermediation
|------------------------

|The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients. These activities include the use of VIEs to structure various fund-linked products to provide clients with investment opportunities in alternative investments. In addition, the Group provides financing to client-sponsored VIEs, established to purchase or lease certain types of assets. For certain products structured to provide clients with investment opportunities, a VIE holds underlying investments and issues securities that provide investors with a return based on the performance of those investments. The investors typically retain the risk of loss on such transactions but the Group may provide principal protection on the securities to limit the investors’ exposure to downside risk.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As a financial intermediary, the Group may administer or sponsor the VIE, transfer assets to the VIE, provide collateralized financing, act as a derivatives counterparty, advise on the transaction, act as investment advisor or investment manager, act as underwriter or placement agent or provide credit enhancement, liquidity or other support to the VIE. The Group also owns securities issued by the VIEs which have been structured to provide clients with investment opportunities, for market-making purposes and as investments. The Group’s maximum loss exposure to non-consolidated VIEs related to Financial intermediation activities was CHF 19.1 billion and CHF 12.8 billion as of December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively, which represents the notional amount of any guarantees from the Group and the fair value of all other Group interests held, rather than the amount of Total assets of the VIEs. Further, the Group considers the likelihood of incurring a loss equal to the maximum exposure to be remote because of the Group’s risk mitigation efforts, including hedging strategies, and the risk of loss that is retained by investors.

|Concentrations of credit risk
|-----------------------------

|Credit risk concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business, activities, or the same geographic region, or when they have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly impacted by changes in economic conditions.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group regularly monitors the credit risk portfolio by counterparties, industry, country and products to ensure that such potential concentrations are identified, using a comprehensive range of quantitative tools and metrics. Credit limits relating to counterparties and products are managed through counterparty limits which set the maximum credit exposures the Group is willing to assume to specific counterparties over specified periods. Country limits are established to avoid any undue country risk concentration.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|From an industry point of view, the combined credit exposure of the Group is diversified. A large portion of the credit exposure is with individual clients, particularly through residential mortgages in Switzerland, or relates to transactions with financial institutions. In both cases, the customer base is extensive and the number and variety of transactions are broad. For transactions with financial institutions, the business is also geographically diverse, with operations focused in the Americas, Europe and, to a lesser extent, Asia Pacific.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Fair value of financial instruments
|-----------------------------------

|The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (SFAS 107), encompass the disclosure of the fair values of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate those values, whether or not they are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 107 excludes all non-financial instruments such as lease transactions, Real estate, Premises and equipment, Equity method investments and pension and benefit obligations.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Quoted market prices, when available, are used as the measure of fair value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are determined using present value estimates or other valuation techniques, for example, the present value of estimated expected future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved, option-pricing models, matrix pricing, option-adjusted spread models and fundamental analysis. Fair value estimation techniques normally incorporate assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of values, future revenues, and future expenses, including assumptions about interest rates, default, prepayment and volatility. Since assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, estimated fair values would not necessarily be realized in immediate sales or settlement of the instruments.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For cash and other liquid assets and money market papers maturing within three months, fair values are assumed to approximate book values, given the short-term nature of these instruments. For those items with a stated maturity exceeding three months, fair values are calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For non-impaired Loans where quoted market prices are available, fair values are based on such prices. For variable rate Loans which re-price within three months, book values are used as reasonable estimates of fair values. For other non-impaired Loans, fair values are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using market interest rates for Loans with similar characteristics. For impaired Loans, book values, net of valuation adjustments, approximate fair values.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The securities and precious metals trading portfolio is carried in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Fair values of derivative instruments used for hedging, financial investments from the banking business and non-consolidated participations are based on quoted market prices. Where these are not available, fair values are based on the quoted market prices of comparable instruments, or are estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows or by using other valuation techniques.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For deposit instruments with no stated maturity and those with original maturities of less than three months, book values are assumed to approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these liabilities. For deposit instruments with a stated maturity exceeding three months, fair values are calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For medium-term notes, bonds and mortgage-backed bonds, fair values are estimated using quoted market prices or by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows using a rate at which the Group could issue debt with a similar remaining maturity as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|32 Capital adequacy
|-------------------

|The Group, on a consolidated basis, is subject to risk-based capital and leverage guidelines under Swiss Federal Banking Commission (Eidgenössische Bankenkommission, or EBK) and Bank for International Settlements (BIS) guidelines. These guidelines are used to evaluate risk-based capital adequacy. Since January 1, 2004, the Group has based its capital adequacy calculations on US GAAP, as permitted by EBK newsletter 32 (dated December 18, 2003). The EBK has advised the Group that it may continue to include as Tier 1 capital CHF 2.2 billion of equity from VIEs (referred to as non-cumulative perpetual preferred securities) that have been deconsolidated under FIN 46(R).
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|According to EBK and BIS capital requirements, total regulatory capital is comprised of two categories. Tier 1 capital comprises shareholders’ equity according to US GAAP, and the equity from VIEs as described above. Among other items, this is adjusted by anticipated dividends, the Group’s holdings of its own shares outside the trading book, goodwill, pensions and an adjustment for the Group’s investment in insurance entities. Tier 1 capital is supplemented for capital adequacy purposes by Tier 2 capital, which consists primarily of perpetual and dated subordinated debt instruments. The sum of these two capital tiers, less non-consolidated participations in the industries of banking, finance and insurance, equals total available capital. Under both EBK and BIS guidelines, a bank must have a ratio of total eligible capital to aggregate risk-weighted assets of at least 8%, of which the Tier 1 capital element must be at least 4%.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The ratios measure capital adequacy by comparing eligible capital with risk-weighted assets positions, which include consolidated balance sheet assets, net positions in securities not held in the trading portfolio, off-balance sheet transactions converted into credit equivalents and market positions in the trading portfolio.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group’s consolidated BIS Tier 1 ratio was 13.9% as of December 31, 2006, an increase from 11.3% as of December 31, 2005. Risk-weighted assets increased compared to December 31, 2005, due to increases in lending activities and OTC derivatives partially offset by a decrease in banking book securities. Tier 1 capital increased CHF 8,799 million from December 31, 2005, with the positive contribution of Net income offset by additional dividend accruals and the deduction for shares repurchased through the Group’s share buyback program. In addition, the deduction relating to investment in insurance entities was substantially reduced due to the sale of Winterthur. The Group continued the share buyback program approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in 2005, repurchasing 76.4 million common shares in the amount of CHF 5.0 billion since the initiation of the program through December 31, 2006. In 2006, 50.3 million common shares in the amount of CHF 3.7 billion were repurchased. The Group’s shareholders’ equity increased from CHF 42.1 billion as of December 31, 2005, to CHF 43.6 billion as of December 31, 2006. This was primarily due to the full year Net income partially offset by the payment of dividends, shares repurchased through the Group’s share buyback program and the change in US GAAP pension accounting. This change requires an employer to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the consolidated balance sheet, which reduced shareholders’ equity by CHF 1.8 billion but had no effect on Tier 1 capital. For further information on the change in pension accounting, see note 2 “Recently  issued accounting standards – SFAS 158.”

|As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Group was adequately capitalized under the regulatory provisions outlined under both EBK and BIS guidelines.

Assets of corporate clients and public institutions that are used primarily for cash management or transaction-related purposes are also not considered Assets under management. The classification of Assets under management is individually assessed on the basis of each client’s intentions and objectives and the banking services provided to the client. Reclassifications between Assets under management and assets held for transaction-related or safekeeping purposes result in corresponding Net new assets inflows or outflows.

|Net new assets measure the degree of success in acquiring Assets under management. The calculation is based on the direct method, taking into account individual cash and securities transactions, and any new or repaid loans. Interest and dividend income credited to clients and commissions, interest and fees charged for banking services are not taken into account when calculating Net new assets, as such charges are not directly related to the Group’s success in acquiring Assets under management. Similarly, changes in Assets under management due to currency and market volatility as well as asset inflows and outflows due to the acquisition or divestiture of businesses are not part of Net new assets.

|A portion of the Group’s Assets under management result from double counting. Double counting arises when Assets under management are subject to more than one level of asset management services. Each such separate advisory or discretionary service provides additional benefits to the client and represents additional income for the Group. Specifically, double counting primarily results from the investment of Assets under management in internally-managed funds. The extent of double counting is disclosed in the following table.

|34 Litigation and other contingencies
|-------------------------------------

|In accordance with SFAS 5 the Group recorded in 2005 a CHF 960 million (USD 750 million) charge before tax (CHF 624 million after tax) in Investment Banking to increase the reserve for private litigation involving Enron, certain IPO allocation practices, research analyst independence and other related litigation. The charge was in addition to the reserve for these private litigation matters of CHF 702 million (USD 450 million), before tax, originally established in 2002, and brings the total reserve for these private litigation matters to CHF 1.2 billion (USD 1.0 billion) as of December 31, 2006, after deductions for settlements.

|The Group is also involved in a number of other judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. These actions have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and, unless otherwise specified, seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts. The Group believes, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, are not likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but might be material to operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|It is inherently difficult to predict the outcome of many of these matters. In presenting the consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates regarding the outcome of these matters and records a reserve and takes a charge to income when losses with respect to such matters are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and currently available information and involve a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and nature of the litigation, claim or proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of legal counsel, the Group’s defenses and its experience in similar cases or proceedings, as well as its assessment of matters, including settlements, involving other defendants in similar or related cases or proceedings.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Further charges or releases of litigation reserves may be necessary in the future as developments in such litigation, claims or proceedings warrant.

|37 Significant valuation and income recognition differences between US GAAP and Swiss GAAP (true and fair view)
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. For a detailed description of the Group’s accounting policies, see note 1 “Summary of significant accounting policies.”
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Swiss Federal Banking Commission requires Swiss-domiciled banks which present their financial statements under either US GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to provide a narrative explanation of the major differences between Swiss GAAP and its primary accounting standard.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The principle provisions of the Banking Ordinance and the Guidelines of the Swiss Federal Banking Commission governing financial statement reporting (Swiss GAAP) differ in certain aspects from US GAAP. The following are the major differences:
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Scope of consolidation
|----------------------

|Under US GAAP, the Group deconsolidated certain entities that issue redeemable preferred securities under FIN 46(R). Under Swiss GAAP, these entities would continue to be consolidated as the Group holds 100% of the voting rights.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Under Swiss GAAP, majority-owned subsidiaries that are not considered long-term investments or do not operate in the core business of the Group are either accounted for as financial investments or as equity method investments. US GAAP has no such exception relating to the consolidation of majority-owned subsidiaries.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Discontinued operations
|-----------------------

|Under US GAAP, the assets and liabilities of an entity held-for-sale are separated from the ordinary balance sheet captions into a separate discontinued operations item and are measured at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Under Swiss GAAP, these positions remain in their initial balance sheet captions until disposed of and are valued according to the respective captions.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Real estate held for investment
|-------------------------------

|Under US GAAP, Real estate held for investmentis valued at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairments.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|For Swiss GAAP, Real estate held for investment that the Group intends to hold permanently is also accounted for at cost less accumulated depreciation. If the Group does not, however, intend to hold real estate permanently, real estate is accounted for at LOCOM.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Investments in securities
|-------------------------

|Available-for-sale securities
|-----------------------------

|Under US GAAP, available-for-sale securities are valued at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses (including foreign exchange) due to fluctuations in fair value are not recorded in the consolidated statements of income but reported in AOCI, which is part of Total shareholders’ equity. Declines in fair value below cost deemed to be other-than-temporary are recognized as impairment losses through the consolidated statements of income. The new cost basis will not be changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Under Swiss GAAP, available-for-sale securities are accounted for at LOCOM with market fluctuations where required recorded in Other revenues. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized as Trading revenues.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Non-marketable equity securities are valued at cost less other-than-temporary impairment or at fair value (depending on the status of reporting entity) under US GAAP, whereas under Swiss GAAP non-marketable equity securities are accounted for at LOCOM.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Impairments on held-to-maturity securities
|------------------------------------------

|Under US GAAP, declines in fair value of held-to-maturity securities below cost deemed to be other-than-temporary are recognized as impairment losses through the consolidated statements of income. The impairment cannot be reversed in future periods.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Under Swiss GAAP, impairment losses recognized on held-to-maturity securities should be reversed up to the amortized cost if the fair value of the instrument subsequently recovers. The reversal is recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Trading positions
|-----------------

|Under both US GAAP and Swiss GAAP, positions classified as trading assets are valued at fair value. Under US GAAP, this classification is based on management’s intent for the specific instrument, whereas the prevailing criteria under Swiss GAAP is the active management of the specific instrument.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Bifurcation of precious metal loans
|-----------------------------------

|Under US GAAP, precious metal loans and deposits are considered hybrid instruments. US GAAP permits such instruments to be carried at fair value with changes recorded in the consolidated statement of income. Alternatively, under US GAAP as precious metals are considered a commodity, which is not clearly and closely related to a loan or deposit host, the embedded derivative may be bifurcated under US GAAP and carried at fair value with the host instrument carried on an accrual basis.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Under Swiss GAAP, precious metal loans and deposits are not considered hybrid instruments. Precious metals are rather considered a currency, not a commodity accounted for at fair value.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Goodwill and intangible assets
|------------------------------

|Goodwill amortization
|---------------------

|Under US GAAP, goodwill is not amortized but must be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that goodwill may be impaired.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Under Swiss GAAP, goodwill is amortized over its useful life, normally not exceeding five years, except in justified cases (up to 20 years). In addition, goodwill is tested for impairment.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Intangible assets with indefinite lives
|---------------------------------------

|Under US GAAP, intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Under Swiss GAAP, intangibles assets with indefinite lives are amortized over a useful life, up to a maximum of five years. Additionally, these assets are tested for impairment.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Pensions and post-retirements benefits
|--------------------------------------

|Under US GAAP, the liability and related pension expense is determined based on the projected unit credit actuarial calculation of the benefit obligation. Under Swiss GAAP, the liability and related pension expense is determined based on the required contributions defined by Swiss law and any additional contribution mandated by the pension fund trustees.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Reserves for general banking risks
|----------------------------------

|Under Swiss GAAP, reserves for general banking risks are recorded as a separate component of Total shareholders’ equity. US GAAP does not allow general unallocated provisions.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Nontrading assets measured at fair value
|----------------------------------------

|Under US GAAP, the following nontrading assets are measured at fair value: Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs), Life Settlement Contracts (LSC) and hybrid instruments. Changes in value are reported in the consolidated statement of income. Under Swiss GAAP, MSRs and LSC are measured at LOCOM. Hybrid instruments are bifurcated for Swiss GAAP purposes.

|Report of the Group Auditors and the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to the General Meeting of Credit Suisse Group, Zurich
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Credit Suisse Group and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income and cash flows, and notes thereto, for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group's management and the Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We confirm that we meet the legal requirements concerning professional qualification and independence.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and comply with Swiss law.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In accordance with Swiss law, we recommend that the consolidated financial statements submitted to you be approved.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|As discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2006 the Group changed its method of accounting for defined benefit pension plans, in 2005 the Group changed its method of accounting for share-based compensation and in 2004 the Group changed its method of accounting for certain variable interest entities.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Group's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 23, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.

|Controls and procedures
|-----------------------

|Evaluation of controls and procedures
|-------------------------------------

|The Group has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Group’s Chief Executive Officer and the Group’s Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of the Group’s controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Group files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Changes in internal control over financial reporting
|----------------------------------------------------

|There has been no change in the Group’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Group’s internal control over financial reporting.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Management report on internal control over financial reporting
|--------------------------------------------------------------

|The management of the Group is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Group’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Group’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|All internal control systems, no matter how well designed and implemented, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Management has made a comprehensive review, evaluation and assessment of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. The standard measures adopted by management in making its evaluation are the measures in the “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Based upon its review and evaluation, management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the Group’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2006.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|KPMG, Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler SA, the Group’s independent auditors, have issued an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, as stated in their report on page 230.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Report of the Group Auditors and the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to the General Meeting of Credit Suisse Group, Zurich
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Credit Suisse Group and subsidiaries (the “Group”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Group's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

|Report of the Capital Increase Auditors to the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group, Zurich, on Conditional Capital Increase
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
|

|We have examined the issuance of shares for the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 in accordance with the resolutions passed by the General Meetings of Shareholders of September 29, 2000 and May 31, 2002 in accordance with Swiss law and Credit Suisse Group’s (the “Group”) Articles of Association.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to execute the issuance of new shares in accordance with the Group’s Articles of Association. Our responsibility is to examine whether the issuance of new shares was done in accordance with Swiss law, the Group’s Articles of Association, regulations and contracts. We confirm that we meet the legal requirements concerning professional qualification and independence.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Our examination was conducted in accordance with Swiss Auditing Standards, which require that our examination be planned and performed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the issuance of new shares is free from material misstatement. We have examined on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts of the issuance. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|In our opinion the issuance of 1,109,847 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.50 each and a total nominal value of CHF 554,923.50, is in agreement with Swiss law, the Group’s Articles of Association, regulations and contracts.

|42,435,000 registered shares repurchased under the share buyback program and held as of December 31, 2006 are not eligible for dividend. The number of registered shares eligible for dividend at the dividend payment date may change due to the repurchases under the share buyback program and the issuance of new registered shares.

|A sparing and sustainable approach to dealing with nature’s resources is important to Credit Suisse. For this reason, we have printed the “Annual Report 2006” edition on paper that is made from at least 50 percent recycled fibers. And at least 17.5 percent of the fiber used to manufacture this paper comes from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

|This Annual Report contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. In addition, in the future we, and others on our behalf, may make statements that constitute forward-looking statements.

|Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends” and “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that predictions, forecasts, projections and other outcomes described or implied in forward-looking statements will not be achieved. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements.
