Accounting standards require separate disclosure of net inter­est income and net trading income (see the tables below and on the next page). This required disclosure, however, does not take into account that net interest and trading income are generated by a range of different business activities. In many ­cases, a particular business activity can generate both net interest and trading income. Fixed income trading activity, for ­example, generates both trading profits and coupon income. UBS management therefore analyzes net interest and trading income according to the business activity generating it. The second table below (labeled Breakdown by business activity) provides information that corresponds to this management view. For example, net income from trading activities is further broken down into the four sub-components of Equities, Fixed income, Foreign exchange and Other. These activities generate both types of income (interest and trading revenue) and therefore this analysis is not comparable with the breakdown provided in the third table below and the table on the next page.

Financial liabilities designated at fair value include the impact of UBS's own credit where market information indicates that it is reflected in the price at which UBS transacts with third parties. Products with UBS's own credit as a valuation input ­include certain structured debt instruments where either at ­inception or over their life, UBS receives cash flows that provide funding and thereby expose the counterparty to UBS credit risk. In all periods presented, for counterparties entering into products which are financial liabilities from UBS's perspective, the perception of UBS's credit risk has remained stable.
