Through and including the quarter ended September 30, 2005, American Express
Company's (the "Company") holdings of "Section 13(f) securities" were included
in the Form 13F filed by American Express Financial Corporaton, formerly a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("AEFC"), and the Company filed a Form
13F-NT with the Commission on a quarterly basis to report that its Section 13(f)
securities were included in AEFC's Form 13F reports. On September 30, 2005, the
Company completed the spin-off of 100% of the common stock of AEFC (now known as
Ameriprise Financial, Inc.) to the Company's shareholders, the consequence of
which is that AEFC is no longer a subsidiary of the Company. The Company is
filing this Form 13F pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission notwithstanding that the market value of Section 13(f) securities
over which it exercises investment discretion is less than $100 million.
