Selected Statistical Information

The tables below set forth selected statistical information regarding the Group's banking operations extracted from the Financial Statements. Unless otherwise indicated, average balances for the years ended 31 December 2007, 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2005 are calculated from monthly data. The distinction between domestic and foreign is generally based on the booking location. For loans, this method is not significantly different from an analysis based on the domicile of the borrower.

Average Balances and Interest Rates

The following table sets forth average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities, along with the average rates, for the years ended 31 December 2007, 2006 and 2005.

1 Due to customers in foreign offices consists mainly of time deposits.

The percentage of total average interest-earning assets attributable to foreign activities was 89% for 2007 (88% for 2006 and 86% for 2005). The percentage of total average interest-bearing liabilities attributable to foreign activities was 86% for 2007 (85% for 2006 and 84% for 2005). All assets and liabilities are translated into CHF at uniform month-end rates. Interest income and expense are translated at monthly average rates.

Average rates earned and paid on assets and liabilities can change from period to period based on the changes in interest rates in general, but are also affected by changes in the currency mix included in the assets and liabilities. This is especially true for foreign assets and liabilities. Tax-exempt income is not recorded on a tax-equivalent basis. For all three years presented, tax-exempt income is considered to be insignificant and the impact from such income is therefore negligible.

Analysis of Changes in Interest Income and Expense

The following tables allocate, by categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the changes in interest income and expense due to changes in volume and interest rates for the year ended 31 December 2007 compared with the year ended 31 December 2006, and for the year ended 31 December 2006 compared with the year ended 31 December 2005. Volume and rate variances have been calculated on movements in average balances and changes in interest rates. Changes due to a combination of volume and rates have been allocated proportionally. Refer to the appropriate section of Industry Guide 3 for a discussion of the treatment of impaired and non-performing loans.

1 Money market paper has a contractual maturity of less than one year and is not included in the table. 2 Average yields are calculated on an amortized cost basis. 3 Debt instruments available-for-sale recognized on UBS's balance sheet of CHF 1,034 million and disclosed in Note 13 include CHF 16 million of instruments without fixed maturity. Such instruments are not reflected in the table.

Due from Banks and Loans (gross)

The Group's lending portfolio is widely diversified across industry sectors with no significant concentrations of credit risk. CHF 164.4 billion (41% of the total) consists of loans to thousands of private households, predominantly in Switzerland, and mostly secured by mortgages, financial collateral or other assets. Exposure to Banks and Financial Institutions amounted to CHF 163 billion (41% of the total). This includes cash posted as collateral by UBS against negative replacement values on derivatives or other positions, which, from a risk perspective, is not considered lending but is a key component of the measurement of counterparty risk taken in connection with the underlying products. Exposure to banks includes money market deposits with highly rated institutions. Excluding Banks and Financial institutions, the largest industry sector exposure is CHF 17 billion (4% of the total) to Real estate and rentals. For further discussion of the loan portfolio, see the "Credit risk" section in Risk, Treasury and Capital Management 2007.

The following table illustrates the diversification of the loan portfolio among industry sectors at 31 December 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003. The industry categories presented are consistent with the classification of loans for reporting to the Swiss Federal Banking Commission and Swiss National Bank.

UBS does not, as a matter of policy, typically restructure loans to accrue interest at rates different from the original contractual terms or reduce the principal amount of loans. Instead, specific loan allowances are established as necessary. Unrecognized interest related to restructured loans was not material to the results of operations in 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 or 2003.

In addition to the non-performing loans shown above, the Group has CHF 911 million, CHF 710 million, CHF 1,071 million, CHF 1,144 million and CHF 2,241 million in "other impaired loans" for the years ended 31 December 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Other impaired loans are loans where the Group's credit officers have expressed doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to repay the loans. For the years ended 31 December 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, they are loans not considered "non-performing" in accordance with Swiss regulatory guidelines, and for the year ended 31 December 2003, they are loans that were current or less than 90 days in arrears with respect to payment of principal or interest. As of 31 December 2007, 31 December 2006, 31 December 2005 and 31 December 2004, specific allowances of CHF 124 million, CHF 106 million, CHF 200 million, CHF 241 million, respectively, had been established against these loans.

Cross-border Outstandings

Cross-border outstandings consist of general banking products such as loans and deposits with third parties, credit equivalents of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and securities financing, and the market value of the inventory of debt securities. Outstandings are monitored and reported on an ongoing basis by the credit risk control organization with a dedicated country risk information system. With the exception of the 33 most developed economies, these exposures are rigorously limited. The following analysis excludes Due from banks and Loans from Industrial Holdings.

Claims that are secured by third-party guarantees are recorded against the guarantor's country of domicile. Outstandings that are secured by collateral are recorded against the country where the asset could be liquidated. This follows the "Guidelines for the Management of Country Risk", which are applicable to all banks that are supervised by the Swiss Federal Banking Commission.

The following tables list those countries for which cross-border outstandings exceeded 0.75% of total assets at 31 December 2007, 2006 and 2005. At 31 December 2007, there were no outstandings that exceeded 0.75% of total assets in any country currently facing liquidity problems that the Group expects would materially affect the country's ability to service its obligations.

For more information on country exposure, see the "Credit risk" section in Risk, Treasury and Capital Management 2007.

Summary of Movements in Allowances and Provisions for Credit Losses

The following table provides an analysis of movements in allowances and provisions for credit losses.

UBS writes off loans against allowances only on final settlement of bankruptcy proceedings, the sale of the underlying assets and / or in case of debt forgiveness. Under Swiss law, a creditor can continue to collect from a debtor who has emerged from bankruptcy, unless the debt has been forgiven through a formal agreement.
