In re Washington Mutual, Inc., et al

Case No. 08-12229 (MFW)

DISCLAIMER

Washington Mutual, Inc. (“WMI”) and WMI Investment Corp. (together, the “Debtors”) caution investors and potential investors in WMI not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in this Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of WMI. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly operating guidelines as described in the Chapter 11 Trustee Handbook, United States Department of Justice, May 2004 in accordance with 28 U.S.C §586(a)(3). The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants; does not purport to present the financial statements of WMI in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; does not purport to present the market value of WMI’s assets and liabilities or the recoverability of WMI’s assets; is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws; and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in WMI’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results. This disclaimer applies to all information contained herein.

On September 26, 2008 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtors each commenced voluntary cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Prior to the Petition Date, on September 25, 2008, the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) as receiver for Washington Mutual Bank (“WMB”) and advised that the receiver was immediately taking possession of WMB’s assets. Immediately after its appointment as receiver, the FDIC sold substantially all the assets of WMB, including the stock of Washington Mutual Bank fsb, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPMorgan”) pursuant to that certain Purchase and Assumption Agreement, Whole Bank, dated as of September 25, 2008 (the “Sale”).

Prior to the Petition Date, WMI and WMB jointly maintained their respective financial records. As a result of the Sale, many of the Debtors’ books and records were seized by the FDIC and transferred to the custody of JPMorgan. Accordingly, the Debtors are not in control of certain information relating to their operations and financial affairs, including, but not limited to, certain accounting information. In addition, as of the date of the Sale, substantially all of WMB’s employees became employees of JPMorgan. Accordingly, this Monthly Operating Report was prepared, in part, based upon the information and work product and/or representations made available to the Debtors and their professionals by representatives of WMB and JPMorgan.

Results represented in this Monthly Operating Report are consistent with WMI’s accounting practices as of the Petition Date. However, records of prepetition assets and liabilities, including, among other things, liabilities owed by WMI to WMB and its affiliates are likely to be adjusted. Further, claims have been filed against the Debtors in their chapter 11 cases that are not currently recorded on WMI’s books that, if allowed, would change the reported balances for pre-petition liabilities. The Debtors reserve all rights to amend the results represented in this Monthly Operating Report.

Bank Reconciliations

The above-captioned debtors (the "Debtors") hereby submit this attestation regarding bank account reconciliations in lieu of providing copies of bank statements and copies of all account reconciliations.

I attest that each of the Debtors’ bank accounts is reconciled to the most current monthly bank statements except those certain accounts ending in 0667, 9626, 9663 and 4704 (the “Excluded Accounts”). The Debtors’ standard practice is to ensure that each bank account is reconciled to monthly bank statements for each calendar month 30 days after month end.

In May 2009, JPMorgan started transitioning bank accounts from the WMB deposit platform to the JPMorgan deposit platform. Since the transition, JPMorgan has only provided the Debtors with bank account statements for certain months. The Debtors have not received bank statements for the period covered by this MOR for the Excluded Accounts. Therefore, the Debtors are unable to reconcile information related to the Excluded Accounts against a related bank statement. The Debtors have continued to record interest income on the accounts consistent with prior practice and based on an existing agreement with JPMorgan.

In December 2011, WMI received a bank statement, dated December 14, 2011, for the account ending in 4234. Because the Debtors had not receive any bank account statements with respect to the account ending in 4234 during the period between November 2010 and December 2011, a complete reconciliation of amounts on deposit in that account, as well as other accounts, held at JPMorgan was not possible. Upon reviewing the statement received in December 2011, the Debtors determined that certain interest accrual adjustments were required with respect to all amounts held in accounts at JPMorgan, including the account ending in 4234. The interest adjustments are reflected on the MOR 1 labeled “interest adjustment” as a reduction to the balances in the accounts.

Case No. 08-12229 (MFW)

NOTES TO MOR-2 and MOR-3

Note 1: Plan of Reorganization and Settlement Agreement

On March 26, 2010, the Debtors filed a proposed plan of reorganization pursuant to chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and related disclosure statement, which were subsequently amended.

On October 6, 2010, the Debtors filed their Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code [D.I. 5548] (as amended, the “Sixth Amended Plan”) and a related disclosure statement [D.I. 5549] with the Bankruptcy Court. The Sixth Amended Plan was premised upon implementation of an Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement (as amended on December 7, 2010, the “Settlement Agreement”), which represents a compromise of certain disputes among the Debtors, JPMorgan, the FDIC (as receiver for WMB and in its corporate capacity), the Creditors’ Committee and certain other parties-in-interest. After hearing testimony and argument regarding confirmation of the Sixth Amended Plan, on January 7, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued an opinion [D.I. 6528], pursuant to which, among other things, the Bankruptcy Court found the settlement and compromise represented by the Settlement Agreement to be fair and reasonable; however, the Bankruptcy Court nonetheless denied confirmation of the Sixth Amended Plan unless certain modifications were made thereto.

Accordingly, on February 8, 2011, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court their Modified Sixth Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (as amended, the “Modified Plan”) and a related supplemental disclosure statement. The Settlement Agreement also has been amended and restated by the Second Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2011, to conform to certain revisions reflected in the Modified Plan, or otherwise required by the Opinion (as it has and may be further amended, modified or supplemented, the “Amended Settlement Agreement”). In addition, the Amended Settlement Agreement excludes certain creditors who were previously parties to the Settlement Agreement. Otherwise, the Amended Settlement Agreement’s material financial terms remain unchanged as in the Settlement Agreement. .

After hearing testimony and argument regarding confirmation of the Modified Plan, on September 13, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued an opinion (the “September Opinion”) [D.I. 8612], pursuant to which, among other things, the Bankruptcy Court reaffirmed its prior determination that the settlement and compromise represented by the Amended Settlement Agreement is fair and reasonable and determined that substantially all aspects of the Modified Plan complied with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code; however, the Court identified a handful of issues requiring resolution in advance of confirming the Modified Plan. In connection therewith, the Bankruptcy Court referred certain matters to mediation, including issues associated with commencement of litigation against the “Settlement Noteholders” and remaining impediments to confirmation of the Modified Plan. Certain parties filed notices of appeal or sought leave to appeal the findings of law and fact set forth in the Bankruptcy Court’s September Opinion.

On December 12, 2011, the Debtors announced that the Debtors, the Creditor’s Committee, the Equity Committee and certain significant parties in the Debtors’ chapter 11 proceedings have reached a comprehensive resolution which resolves certain pending motions, appeals and potential impediments to confirmation. Accordingly, the Debtors filed the Seventh Amended Joint Plan of Affiliated Debtors (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Seventh Amended Plan”) [D.I. 9178] and a related disclosure statement for the Seventh Amended Plan (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Disclosure Statement”) [D.I. 9179] with the Bankruptcy Court. The Seventh Amended Plan continues to be premised upon and incorporates the terms of the Amended Settlement Agreement.

By order, dated January 13, 2012 [D.I. 9414], the Bankruptcy Court, among other things, approved the adequacy of the information contained in the Disclosure Statement, authorized the commencement of the solicitation of acceptances and rejections of the Seventh Amended Plan, established February 9, 2012 as the deadline for parties to submit votes on the Seventh Amended Plan, and scheduled a hearing to consider confirmation of the Seventh Amended Plan to commence on February 16, 2012. The Seventh Amended Plan would become effective upon receipt of the requisite stakeholder approvals and subsequent confirmation of the Bankruptcy Court.

The Amended Settlement Agreement is an integral part of the Seventh Amended Plan and is subject to confirmation of the Seventh Amended Plan. On the basis of the foregoing, the balance sheet and operating statement in this monthly operating report do not reflect any of the financial arrangements or settlements set forth in the Amended Settlement Agreement.

The foregoing notwithstanding, aspects of the Seventh Amended Plan and Amended Settlement Agreement are referred to in the Notes to MOR 2 and MOR 3 herein; however, users of this monthly operating report should refer to the Seventh Amended Plan and related documents directly for complete information.

Note 2: Washington Mutual Preferred Funding

On September 25, 2008, the Office of Thrift Supervision concluded that an “Exchange Event” had occurred with respect to the following securities (the “Securities”):

l	Washington Mutual Preferred Funding Trust I Fixed-to-Floating Rate Perpetual Non-cumulative Trust Securities (to be exchanged into depositary shares representing Series I Perpetual Non-Cumulative Fixed-to-Floating Rate Preferred Stock of WMI);

l	Washington Mutual Preferred (Cayman) I Ltd. 7.25% Perpetual Non-cumulative Preferred Securities, Series A-1 (to be exchanged into depositary shares representing Series J Perpetual Non-Cumulative Fixed Rate Preferred Stock of Washington Mutual, Inc. (“WMI”));

l	Washington Mutual Preferred (Cayman) I Ltd. 7.25% Perpetual Non-cumulative Preferred Securities, Series A-2 (to be exchanged into depositary shares representing Series J Perpetual Non-Cumulative Fixed Rate Preferred Stock of WMI);

l	Washington Mutual Preferred Funding Trust II Fixed-to-Floating Rate Perpetual Non-cumulative Trust Securities (to be exchanged into depositary shares representing Series L Perpetual Non-Cumulative Fixed-to-Floating Rate Preferred Stock of WMI);

l	Washington Mutual Preferred Funding Trust III Fixed-to-Floating Rate Perpetual Non-cumulative Trust Securities (to be exchanged into depositary shares representing Series M Perpetual Non-Cumulative Fixed-to-Floating Rate Preferred Stock of WMI); and

l	Washington Mutual Preferred Funding Trust IV Fixed-to-Floating Rate Perpetual Non-cumulative Trust Securities (to be exchanged into depositary shares representing Series N Perpetual Non-Cumulative Fixed-to-Floating Rate Preferred Stock of WMI).

In accordance with the terms of the documents governing the Securities, the Conditional Exchange (as defined in the disclosure materials related to the Securities) of the Securities occurred on Friday, September 26, 2008 at 8:00 A.M. (New York time). The documentation governing the Securities contemplates that at the time of the Conditional Exchange, each outstanding Security was intended to be exchanged automatically for a like amount of newly issued Fixed Rate Depositary Shares or newly issued Fixed-to-Floating Rate Depositary Shares, as applicable, each representing a 1/1000th interest in one share of the applicable series of preferred stock of WMI. If and until such depositary receipts are delivered or in the event such depositary receipts are not delivered, any certificates previously representing Securities are deemed for all purposes, effective as of 8:00 AM (New York time) on September 26, 2008, to represent Fixed Rate Depositary Shares or Fixed-to-Floating Rate Depositary Shares, as applicable.

On July 6, 2010, certain institutional investors filed an adversary proceeding captioned Black Horse Capital LP et al. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. et al., Adv. No. 10-51387 (MFW) (the "Black Horse Litigation") against WMI and JPMorgan asserting that the Conditional Exchange did not occur due to the failure of certain alleged conditions precedent. On January 7, 2011, the Court entered an opinion and order granting summary judgment in favor of WMI and JPMC in the Black Horse Litigation, holding, among other things, that the Conditional Exchange occurred

automatically on September 26, 2008, and as a result the plaintiffs in the Black Horse Litigation (and other similarly situated investors) are now deemed to be holding Fixed Rate or Fixed-to-Floating Rate Depositary Shares, as applicable, tied to the applicable series of preferred stock of WMI. On January 13, 2011, certain plaintiffs appealed the judgment to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Because the appeals process and confirmation of the Modified Plan are pending, WMI has not yet reflected the Conditional Exchange and/or its attendant transactions on its financial statements, including any possible interests (direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise) in the Securities and the assets, as the case may be, of Washington Mutual Preferred Funding LLC.

Assuming that the Conditional Exchange had been completed in accordance with the terms of the relevant documentation, on a pro forma basis, WMI’s financial statements would reflect (a) a credit to shareholders’ equity of approximately $3.9 billion upon issuance of the new classes of preferred stock; (b) an investment in subsidiary (i.e. WMB) of approximately $3.9 billion upon contribution of the Preferred Securities by WMI to WMB; and (c) an immediate and corresponding write-down of such investment in subsidiary.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Settlement Agreement, upon consummation of a chapter 11 plan, WMI and relevant third parties will complete the ministerial actions attendant to the Conditional Exchange.

Note 3: American Savings Litigation

In April 2009, WMI recorded a receivable of $55 million on account of funds paid by the United States into the registry of the Bankruptcy Court in connection with a partial final judgment entered in that certain action styled as American Savings Bank, F.A. et al. v. United States, Case No. 92-872C. In December 2011, after a compromise and settlement of the balance of this litigation, WMI recorded a receivable for an additional $50 million on account of funds paid by the United States into the registry of the Bankruptcy Court in connection with such compromise and settlement. The total amount paid into the registry of the Bankruptcy Court is $105 million. JPMorgan has asserted claims to such proceeds. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Settlement Agreement, upon consummation of a chapter 11 plan, WMI will take possession of the $105 million in the registry of the Bankruptcy Court, plus any interest earned while in the registry of the Bankruptcy Court, free and clear of any claims asserted by JPMorgan.

In accordance with that certain escrow agreement dated December 20, 1996 (as amended, the “Escrow Agreement”), by and among The Bank of New York, as escrow agent, WMI, Keystone Holdings Partners, L.P. and Escrow Partners, L.P., an escrow account (the “ASB Escrow”) was established which contains $38.8 million as of December 31, 2011. In conjunction with the $50 million payment by the United States in December 2011, WMI filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking authority, which was granted, to release $33.6 million and 1.7 million shares of WMI common stock from the ASB Escrow to Keystone Holdings Partners, L.P. and Escrow Partners, L.P and $5.2 million and the remaining 1.6 million shares of WMI common stock in the ASB Escrow to WMI.

Of the $38.8 million in the ASB Escrow, WMI reported a balance of $30 million in Restricted Cash. The Restricted Cash balance represented dividends paid on the shares of WMI common stock. As a result of the judgment and the obligation to release funds from the ASB Escrow, WMI reduced its Restricted Cash and Retained Earnings to reflect the dividends as being paid to the counterparties to the ASB Escrow.

Note 4: Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

WMI’s restricted cash and cash equivalents of $58 million includes $53 million in a deposit account pledged as collateral to secure prepetition intercompany transactions between WMI and WMB and $5 million held as part of a Rabbi Trust. Restricted cash has been reduced in regard to the American Savings Litigation discussed in Note 3.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Settlement Agreement, upon consummation of a chapter 11 plan, WMI will take possession of the $53 million deposit account pledged as collateral for prepetition intercompany transactions with WMB, free and clear of any interest or liens asserted by JPMorgan.

Note 5: Investment in Subsidiaries

WMI’s investment in subsidiaries represents the book value of WMI’s subsidiaries, including WMI Investment. This balance does not represent the market value of these entities.

WMI subsidiaries hold unsecured notes receivable from WMB or JPMorgan, as the case may be, totaling approximately $182 million.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Settlement Agreement, upon consummation of a chapter 11 plan, JPMorgan will repay with interest the unsecured notes receivable to WMI subsidiaries.

Note 6: Funded Pension

The funded pension balance reflects the (1) the market value of assets as of December 2, 2008 less (2) the November 2008 actuarial estimated settlement value of September 25, 2008 liabilities. The value does not reflect any recent changes in market values, interest rate assumptions and the participants since November 2008 which could materially affect the results.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Settlement Agreement, upon consummation of a chapter 11 plan, WMI will transfer sponsorship of the pension plan to JPMorgan, including certain related assets, and JPMorgan will assume the pension plan liabilities.

Note 7: Taxes

The tax asset and liability balances are recorded consistent with WMI’s historical accounting practices as of the Petition Date and adjusted for refunds collected. Generally, tax related claims and payables are recorded on WMI’s books and records on a consolidated basis with the other members of the consolidated tax group and have not been adjusted for any potential claims against these assets. The current recorded balances do not reflect all expected refunds or payments as these amounts are currently being reviewed. The current estimate for the total expected refunds, net of potential payments, is in the range of approximately $2.7 - $3.0 billion (including interest but excluding tax refunds attributable to the Act, as described below). Various parties claim ownership rights to these refunds and to tax refunds in the amount of $250 million received by WMI during the period from the Petition Date to May 21, 2010. As set forth in the Amended Settlement Agreement, upon consummation of a chapter 11 plan, WMI and JPMorgan will split the above-referenced net tax refunds 20%/80%, respectively (once received).

On November 6, 2009, the Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 (the “Act”) was enacted into law. The Act provides, in pertinent part, that corporate taxpayers, subject to certain limitations, may elect to extend the permitted Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carryback period from two years to five years (with such taxpayers only receiving half this benefit in the fifth year). Pursuant thereto, WMI elected to carry back its 2008 NOL five years. WMI estimates the amount of the additional tax refunds received that were attributable to the Act to be approximately $2.8 billion, including interest, as to which there are competing claims of ownership. As set forth in the Amended Settlement Agreement, upon consummation of a chapter 11 plan, WMI and the FDIC will split the tax refunds attributable to the Act (and actually received) 69.643%/30.357%, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Modified Plan and the Amended Settlement Agreement, a certain portion of WMI’s share of such refunds will be distributed to certain holders of WMB Senior Notes in an amount equal to $335 million.

As of December 31, 2011, refunds totaling approximately $5.3 billion of the estimated $5.5 - $5.8 billion in total refunds have been paid into a segregated escrow account that was established with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). The refunds, together with any interest and income relating thereto, shall remain in the escrow account until (a)(i) the effective date of the Amended Settlement Agreement, and (ii) the receipt by the Escrow Agent of a joint written notice from an authorized officer of each of WMI, JPMorgan and the FDIC Receiver, (b) the mutual agreement of WMI, JPMorgan and the FDIC, which agreement is approved by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, or (c) entry of a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction that determines the ownership of the refunds between WMI, JPMorgan and the FDIC.

No provision or benefit from income taxes has been recorded as the NOL carry-forward amounts from prior years are expected to be sufficient to offset income during the reported period. Income tax expense contains minimum taxes paid in certain states.

Note 8: Liabilities Subject to Compromise (Pre-Petition) – Payroll and Benefit Accruals

WMI’s pre-petition payroll and benefit accruals include balances reflecting WMI’s historic accounting policies related to pension accounting. Prior to the Petition Date, WMI recorded a $274 million liability in respect of such accruals and WMB recorded a $274 million asset, which amounts were netted out and eliminated on a consolidated basis. Neither balance was reported as an intercompany balance. WMI is analyzing these accounting entries and treatment within the context of its bankruptcy proceedings.

As set forth in the Amended Settlement Agreement, upon consummation of a chapter 11 plan, any potential liability related to this pension accounting will be waived.
