4.   Asset Securitizations

     In the first six months of 2002, the American Express Master Trust (the
     "Trust") securitized $1.75 billion of Charge Card receivables through
     the public issuance of one class of investor certificates and privately
     placed collateral interests in the assets of the Trust. At the time of
     these issuances, Credco Receivables Corp. ("CRC"), a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of Credco, sold $1.93 billion of gross seller's interest
     ($1.86 billion, net of reserves) to American Express Receivables
     Financing Corporation ("RFC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of American
     Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. ("TRS"), which is a
     wholly-owned subsidiary of American Express Company ("American
     Express"). In addition, at the time of the issuances, CRC purchased, as
     an investment, $141.89 million of Class B Certificates collateralized
     by the receivables held by the Trust.

     In the first six months of 2002, the American Express Credit Account
     Master Trust (the "Master Trust") securitized $2.78 billion of
     revolving credit loans through the public issuances of two classes of
     investor certificates and privately placed collateral interests in the
     assets of the Master Trust. At the time of these issuances, CRC sold
     $6.99 million of gross seller's interest ($6.79 million, net of
     reserves) to American Express Receivables Financing Corporation II
     ("RFCII"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRS. In addition, at the time
     of the issuances, CRC purchased, as an investment, $264.10 million of
     Class C Certificates collateralized by the revolving credit receivables
     held by the Master Trust.

     In addition, in July 2002, the Master Trust securitized an additional
     $1.10 billion of revolving credit loans through the public issuances of
     two classes of investor certificates and privately placed collateral
     interests in the assets of the Master Trust. At the time of these
     issuances, CRC sold $1.60 million of gross seller's interest ($1.56
     million, net of reserves) to RFCII. In addition, at the time of the
     issuances, CRC purchased, as an investment, $104.50 million of Class C
     Certificates collateralized by the revolving credit receivables held by
     the Master Trust.

     In July 2002, $47.5 million of Class C Certificates owned by CRC matured.
     In August 2002 an additional $47.5 million of Class C Certificates are
     scheduled to mature.

     The Master Trust expects to securitize an additional $720 million of loans
     in August 2002.

5.   Taxes and Interest

     For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, Credco paid $1
     million and $100 million of income taxes, respectively. Interest paid was
     $308 million and $640 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002
     and 2001, respectively.

                     Travel Related Services Company, Inc.)


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In light of the current market environment, and as part of the company's ongoing
funding activities, during the six months ended June 30, 2002, American Express
Credit Corporation, including its subsidiaries where appropriate ("Credco"),
issued an aggregate of $6.0 billion of medium-term notes at fixed and floating
rates with maturities of one to three years which reflects a change in the
company's approach toward managing liquidity by placing a higher reliance on
medium-term notes and a lesser reliance on commercial paper. Proceeds from the
sale of these securities have contributed toward an overall reduction in total
commercial paper outstanding from $18 billion at December 31, 2001 to $10
billion at June 30, 2002 and an increase in committed bank line coverage of net
short-term debt from 58% to 107%.

As of June 30, 2002 Credco had the ability to issue approximately $4.0 billion
of debt securities and warrants to purchase debt securities available for
issuance under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

At June 30, 2002, Credco had the ability to issue $5.1 billion of debt under a
Euro Medium-Term Note program for the issuance of debt outside the United States
to non-U.S. persons. This program was established by Credco, American Express
Travel Related Services Company, Inc. ("TRS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
American Express Company ("American Express"), American Express Centurion Bank
("Centurion Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRS, American Express Overseas
Credit Corporation Limited ("AEOCC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Credco, and
American Express Bank Ltd., a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of American
Express. The maximum aggregate principal amount of debt instruments outstanding
at any one time under the program will not exceed $6.0 billion.

Committed credit line facilities at June 30, 2002 and 2001 totaled $9.35 billion
and $10.42 billion, respectively. In April 2002, Credco, American Express and
Centurion Bank renegotiated their committed credit line facilities. As of June
30, 2002, total available credit lines were $11.45 billion, including $1.50
billion allocated to American Express and $9.35 billion allocated to Credco. As
a result of an internal change in allocations on July 25, 2002, credit lines
were reallocated to include $1.60 billion allocated to American Express and
$9.42 billion allocated to Credco. As of July 31, 2002, Credco's allocated
committed bank line coverage of its net short-term debt was 111%. Credco has the
right to borrow up to a maximum amount of $11.02 billion, with a commensurate
reduction in the amount available to American Express. Based on this maximum
amount of available borrowing, Credco's committed bank line coverage of its net
short-term debt would have been 130% as of July 31, 2002. These facilities
expire in increments from 2003 through 2007.

Subsequent to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, American Express' A+ and
its subsidiaries' (including Credco's) credit ratings were affirmed by Standard
& Poor's and Fitch, two credit rating agencies. At the same time, however, each
agency revised its respective rating outlook on American Express and its
subsidiaries from stable to negative in light of the ensuing weak climate for
business and consumer travel and spending and weaker capital markets. On April
19, 2002, Fitch affirmed American Express' A+ and its subsidiaries' credit
rating and revised its ratings outlook to stable from negative citing American
Express' diversified financial services franchise, steady operating cash flows,
recurring profitability, good capitalization, and strong balance sheet
liquidity.

In the first six months of 2002, Credco recorded $9 million pretax ($6 million
after tax) of foreign exchange losses related to its exposure to receivables
denominated in Argentine pesos, which devalued by 123% during the first six
months of 2002. This exposure, totaling approximately $10 million U.S. Dollars
at June 30, 2002, was a result of the action taken by the Argentine government
at year end 2001 at which time the conversion of dollar denominated assets into
pesos was mandated and the peso simultaneously devalued. These actions are
likely to continue to impact Credco's results of operations throughout 2002.
Credco continues to evaluate economical ways to manage its Argentine exposure.

Results of Operations

Credco purchases Cardmember receivables without recourse from TRS.
Non-interest-bearing charge Cardmember receivables are purchased at face amount
less a specified discount agreed upon from time to time, and interest-bearing
revolving credit Cardmember receivables are generally purchased at face amount.
Non-interest-bearing receivables are purchased under Receivables Agreements that
generally provide that the discount rate shall not be lower than a rate that
yields earnings of at least 1.25 times fixed charges on an annual basis. The
ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 was 1.35 and 1.31, respectively. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges
for American Express, the parent of TRS, for the six-month periods ended June
30, 2002 and 2001 was 2.41 and 1.54, respectively. The Receivables Agreements
also provide that consideration will be given from time to time to revising the
discount rate applicable to purchases of new receivables to reflect changes in
money market interest rates or significant changes in the collectibility of the
receivables. Pretax income depends primarily on the volume of Cardmember
receivables purchased, the discount rates applicable thereto, the relationship
of total discount to Credco's interest expense and the collectibility of
receivables purchased.

Credco purchased $92 billion and $104 billion of Cardmember receivables during
the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. At June 30,
2002 and December 31, 2001, Credco owned $16.4 billion and $19.1 billion,
respectively, of charge Cardmember receivables of which $2.2 billion and $3.8
billion, respectively, were participation interests owned by Credco Receivables
Corp. ("CRC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Credco. CRC owns a participation in
the seller's interest in charge Cardmember receivables that have been conveyed
to the American Express Master Trust (the "Trust").

In addition, at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, Credco owned extended
payment plan receivables totaling $4.6 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively,
including revolving credit loans purchased directly from Centurion Bank. The
extended payment plan receivables owned at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001
include $194 million and $212 million, respectively, of participation interest
owned by CRC. This represents a participation interest in the seller's interest
in revolving credit receivables that have been conveyed to the American Express
Credit Account Master Trust (the "Master Trust"), formed in 1996 to securitize
revolving credit loans.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the average life of
Cardmember receivables owned by Credco was 42 days and 40 days, respectively.

Credco's write-offs, net of recoveries, as a percentage of the volume of
Cardmember receivables purchased for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 was .51 percent and .36 percent, respectively.

Credco's decrease in revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 is
attributable to a decrease in the volume of receivables purchased as well as
lower discount and interest rates. Interest income and interest expense both
decreased for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 primarily as a result of
lower interest rates. Provision for doubtful accounts increased slightly
compared with the prior year as an increase in the provision rates and volume of
recoveries was partially offset by a decrease in the volume of receivables
purchased.
