INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REPORT ON

APPLYING AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES



To the Board of Directors

Student Loan Finance Corporation

Education Loans
Incorporated

Aberdeen, South Dakota



We have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Student Loan Finance
Corporation (SLFC) and wholly-owned subsidiaries, Education Loans Incorporated (EdLinc), Surety Loan Funding Company, Goal Funding I, Incorporated and Goal Funding II, Incorporated as of December 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and have issued our report thereon dated March 11, 2005.



Our audit, referred to in the preceding paragraph, included procedures applied to the documents and records relating to SLFCs servicing agreement with EdLinc
regarding the acquisition process, due diligence, and the servicing of student loans. These procedures were determined on the basis of our objective to issue an opinion on the financial statements referred to above taken as a whole. Because the
procedures referred to in this paragraph and described below do not constitute an audit of the documents and records relating to the servicing of student loans or other information relating to the Corporations student loan portfolio, we do not
express an opinion on those documents or records.



The procedures we performed
on these documents and records as part of our audit of the financial statements of the Corporation were as follows:



|1. | Read the servicing agreement between EdLinc, beneficial owner of the student loan receivables, and SLFC, servicer of the student loan receivables. Recalculated and analyzed the
reasonableness of the annual service fee expense.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. | To satisfy ourselves as to the validity of the outstanding balance of student loans, we sent confirmation requests directly to 194 borrowers as of September 27, 2004 and 248
borrowers as of December 28, 2004 requesting they confirm the terms and outstanding balance of their loans if they disagreed with the confirmation details. There were no unresolved discrepancies noted as a result of the confirmations, which were
selected by cumulative monetary sampling techniques.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. | Determined the reasonableness of fluctuations of student loan receivable balances and related accounts for the year ended December 31, 2004.
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|4. | Agreed the receivable subsidiary records to the general ledger.
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------



|5. | Analyzed the reserve for loan loss account for reasonableness based on loan type, origination credit standards, historical and estimated future default rates, claim rates, and
recovery rates.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|6. | Selected 25 daily statistical reports (ACT 400) and recalculated the daily accrual for special allowance, government interest and borrower interest for one bond code category for
each date. We traced the daily accrual into the general ledger for the bond code selected.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7. | Agreed the net amounts of government interest, special allowance, loan origination fees, and lender fees received for the quarters ended March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004 and September
30, 2004 as reported on LaRS Reports prepared by SLFC to Lender Search Reports provided directly from the Department of Education.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8. | Agreed the amounts of government interest, special allowance, loan origination fees, and lender fees due from/to the Department of Education at December 31, 2003, March 31, 2004,
June 30, 2004, September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 to subsequent receipt and the Department of Educations letter of notification of payment scheduled by electronic funds transfer (EFT).
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|9. | SLFC has contracted with Educational Assistance Service Company, Inc. (EASCI), Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) and Great Lakes Higher Education Servicing Corporation (Great
Lakes) and Nelnet, Inc. (Nelnet) to service a portion of the student loan receivables. With respect to this portion of the portfolio, we:
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | a) | Obtained and read EASCIs, ACSs and Great Lakes audit/attestation reports prepared in accordance with the U.S. Department of Educations audit guide
Compliance Audits (Attestation Engagements) for Lenders and Lender Servicers Participating in the Federal Family Education Loan Program. This audit examines the servicer managements assertions about the servicers compliance
and internal control over compliance with specified U.S. Department of Education FFEL Program requirements.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b) | Confirmed the student loan receivable balances with EASCI, ACS and Great Lakes and Nelnet as of December 31, 2004.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We also performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by the Audit
Committee and management of SLFC as servicer for EdLinc, solely to assist the users in evaluating managements assertion about compliance and operational performance as it relates to the documents and records relating to the acquisition
process, due diligence, and the servicing of student loans during the year ended December 31, 2004. Management has represented in a letter dated March 24, 2005 that the procedures with respect to loan servicing have been designed to assure loans are
processed in a manner that conforms to federal regulations and requirements of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) or with Company loan servicing policy for alternative loans. SLFCs management is responsible for ensuring loans
are processed and serviced in a manner that conforms to federal regulations and requirements and Company policy. This agreed-upon procedures engagement was performed in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in the report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for
the purpose for which this letter has been requested or for any other purpose.

The procedures that follow were performed for the period January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004 (hereafter referred to as the year ended December 31, 2004), unless otherwise indicated.



Acquisition Process and Origination Process



|1. | FFELP Acquisition Process and Loan Data
|-- | ---------------------------------------



We inquired and documented the procedures used during the acquisition process and selected 25 FFELP loans purchased during the period of October 1, 2003
to September 30, 2004. We traced the selected purchase into the daily monetary transaction journal (MTJ), which listed all transactions for each lender. We then traced the total daily purchase amount for 10 lenders to the transaction breakdown
report, which summarizes the MTJ by bond issue and is used to post to the general ledger.



For the same 25 loans noted above, we agreed the total daily purchase amount for each lender to the eligible loan acquisition certificates unless a loan acquisition certificate was not needed because of loan volume.
For the 25 loans, summaries of the acquisition certificates were then traced to the trustee reports.



We recalculated the premium for all 25 loans. For the 25 loans, we verified that the correct premium level indicator was used on the system in accordance
with Company policies and lender agreements.



For 2 of the 25
loans, premiums were calculated based on an incorrect premium percentage. The incorrect calculations resulted in overpayment of premiums to one lender during 2004. No other exceptions were noted.



|2. | National Credit Bureau Reporting
|-- | --------------------------------



For 25 FFELP loans purchased from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004, we traced the purchase to the tape history of information reported to the
credit bureau to ensure that the national credit bureaus were notified of the total amount of loans the lender has made to each borrower within 90 days of each acquisition and that other information as required by 34 CFR §682.208(b) was
reported as required.



No exceptions were noted.



|3. | Alternative Loan Origination and Disbursement Process
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------



We inquired and documented the procedures used during the alternative loan origination process and selected 25 alternative loans originated during the
period from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004. We traced the disbursement to Credit Review to determine whether the truth-in-lending disclosure statement was generated and sent prior to first disbursement.



For the 25 loans selected, we recalculated the origination fee based on the
alternative loan program the borrower is participating in and the borrowers credit score. We compared the borrowers application for their alternative loan to the program in which they were participating to ensure, based on the note level
indicator, the borrower was in the program for which they applied. We traced the borrowers school to the program eligibility report that lists which schools can participate in which alternative loan programs.

For the 25 loans selected, we traced the originated loan amount as applicable to either (a) the disbursement roster and to the alternative loan ACH processing sheets, (b) the ELM disbursement report sent and received,
or (c) the check disbursement roster and verified that the disbursement was not in excess of the authorized amount.



No exceptions were noted.



|4. | Cancelled Loan Processing
|-- | -------------------------



We selected 25 loan cancellations during the period from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004 and traced the information to the documentation
received from the school and to the loan servicing system to determine whether cancellations are processed correctly.



No exceptions were noted.



|5. | Alternative Loan Rejections
|-- | ---------------------------



We obtained a report of all alternative loan application rejections for the period from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004. For 25 rejections, we
compared the loan application information to the Companys credit policies to ensure that denial of the loan application was in accordance with the Companys credit policies.



No exceptions were noted.



Servicing and Due Diligence



|1. | Borrower File Review
|-- | --------------------



From the student loan master file, selected 25 loans for file review.



For the FFELP loans selected, our procedures included ensuring the original application, notice of guarantee and disclosure
statements, evidence of disbursement, promissory notes, loan type, enrollment status, loan status conversions, repayment history, collection history and other documents or administrative procedures required by current federal regulations were
present in the file and/or on the loan servicing system.



For
the alternative loans selected, our procedures included ensuring borrower files were complete, and included in the file and/or on the loan servicing system the original application, disclosure statements, evidence of disbursement, promissory notes,
enrollment status information, loan conversion information, and a complete repayment history.



No exceptions were noted.

|2. | Transfer to Repayment
|-- | ---------------------



For 46 loans entering repayment from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004, we reviewed the loan servicing system to ensure the repayment disclosure
letter was sent within the period set by federal regulations or Company policy and that the correct first payment due date was established. For the same 46 loans, reviewed the scheduled number of payments per the loan servicing system
and compared to the period of repayment as allowed by the type and amount of loan.



No exceptions were noted.



|3. | Delinquent Accounts
|-- | -------------------



Selected 46 borrowers that were delinquent during the period of October 1, 2003 and September 30, 2004 and compared SLFCs due diligence activities
for the period hereafter defined to lender due diligence activities required by 34 CFR §682.411 for FFELP loans and Company policy for alternative loans. The due diligence period was from October 1, 2003 to the date of the procedure unless the
borrower was delinquent, in which case the period for due diligence began on the date the payment was due.



For 46 of the borrowers noted above, we also selected one telephone call made to borrowers as documented on the student loan servicing system collection
history and traced them to actual telephone bills to ensure contacts were made as indicated.



No exceptions were noted.



|4. | Deferment and Forbearance
|-- | -------------------------



We selected 46 loans that were in a deferment or forbearance status for a period of time between October 1, 2003 and September 30, 2004. For the loans
selected, we examined the file for the signed requests if required by regulation or policy, verified the beginning and ending dates of the change in status, and determined whether only authorized circumstances for deferment were allowed.



No exceptions were noted.



|5. | Return Mail
|-- | -----------



We selected 46 pieces of return mail from workflow to determine if return mail was processed timely and skip tracing procedures were initiated within the 10-day requirement.



No exceptions were noted.

|6. | Payments
|-- | --------



For 25 loans, we recalculated the application of principal, interest, and late fees for a payment received on the borrowers account between October 1, 2003 and September 30, 2004.



For the 25 payments described above, we traced individual payments to the
appropriate daily support for borrower payments. We agreed the total payment amount to the transaction breakdown report. For all payments selected, we traced the transaction breakdown totals to the general ledger.



No exceptions were noted.



|7. | Special Allowance and Interest Subsidies
|-- | ----------------------------------------



For 25 loans, we compared the interest rate on the servicing system to the federal regulation requirements for FFELP loans and Company interest rate
schedules for alternative loans to ensure that the correct interest rate was assigned to each loan.



For the FFELP loans selected in the paragraph above, we compared the special allowance code on the servicing system to the federal regulation requirements
to ensure the correct special allowance code was assigned to each loan. For the alternative loans selected in the paragraph above, we examined the special allowance code on the servicing system to ensure it was a code that indicated the loan was not
eligible for special allowance.



A significant amount of the
Corporations accounting and statistical data is generated by electronic data processing systems. Amounts billed to the Department of Education for interest subsidy and special allowance are generated from such programs. For the quarters ended
March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004, we used computer assisted audit tools and techniques (CAATTS) to reperform certain calculations and routines, which are an integral part of generating the information (ACT 400 and ACT 395) used in preparing the
government billings (LaRS reports).



No exceptions were noted.



|8. | Timely Claim Filings
|-- | --------------------



We selected 25 claims filed during the period of October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004. For the disability, death and bankruptcy claims, we
recomputed the number of days from receipt of required documents to the date the claim was filed to ensure compliance with federal regulations. For default claims, we recomputed the number of days delinquent and compared it to the date the claim was
filed to ensure compliance with federal regulations.

We selected 25 claims
that were rejected during the period of October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004. If the rejected claim was refiled with the guarantor, we the agreed the refiling date to the loan servicing system to ensure it was refiled within 30 days. If the
rejected claim needed to be cured, we determined whether the loan was recategorized to uninsured status on the loan servicing system and correctly reported on the LaRS reports.



No exceptions were noted.



|9. | Defaulted Alternative Loans
|-- | ---------------------------



From the quarter-end master files, we summarized the total dollar amount of alternative loans over 180 days delinquent within the 1999-1 Indenture as of
December 31, 2003, March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004. We then traced the totals to the journal entries in the subsequent month to verify that defaulted alternative loans were transferred out of the 1999-1 Indenture.



For 25 defaulted alternative loans that reached their 270thday of delinquency during the period from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004, we traced the borrower information to
the loan servicing system to determine if the loans were transferred to a collection agency in accordance with SLFC policy.



No exceptions were noted.



|10. | LaRS Reports
|--- | ------------



For LaRS reports prepared by SLFC during the year ended December 31, 2004, we traced 25 line items by categories as reported on LaRS reports to supporting
documentation to ensure that information reported to the Department of Education is supported by Corporation books and records.



We recalculated prior quarter special allowance adjustments for 25 borrower loans reported on LaRS reports prepared by SLFC during the year ended December
31, 2004. We agreed the adjustment to appropriate documentation and determined the propriety of the adjustment.



We recalculated prior quarter government interest adjustments for 25 borrower loans reported on LaRS reports prepared by SLFC during the year ended
December 31, 2004. We agreed the adjustment to appropriate documentation and determined the propriety of the adjustment.



We recalculated prior quarter origination fee adjustments for 25 borrower loans reported on LaRS reports prepared by SLFC during the year ended December
31, 2004. We agreed the adjustment to appropriate documentation and determined the propriety of the adjustment.



We recalculated current quarter origination fees for 25 borrower consolidation loans reported on LaRS reports prepared by SLFC during the year ended
December 31, 2004.



No exceptions were noted.

|11. | Loan Classification and Status
|--- | ------------------------------



We selected 25 status changes from the student status confirmation reports sent to and received from schools and guarantor status change information to
ensure the changes were made to the student loan servicing system.



No exceptions were noted.



|12. | Cures
|--- | -----



There were six cures reported on the LaRS reports submitted during the year ended December 31, 2004. For three loans cured, we examined the student loan servicing records to determine that the required cure procedures
were performed.



No exceptions were noted.



We also performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by the Audit
Committee and management of SLFC, as servicer for EdLinc, solely to assist the users in evaluating managements assertion regarding the accuracy of the 2004 Servicing Reports (Indenture 1999-1) and the loan information which collateralizes the
Student Loan Asset-Based Notes, Series 1999-1, 2000-1, 2001-1, 2002-1, and 2003-1, as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended. SLFCs management is responsible for ensuring the 2004 servicing reports are accurate. This agreed-upon
procedures engagement was performed in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in the
report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this letter has been requested or for any other purpose.



Our procedures and findings are as follows:



|1. | We have read the following, set forth in the applicable monthly 2004 Servicing Reports for the 1999-1 Indenture on the indicated pages, and have performed the additional procedures
stated below with respect to such information which were applied as indicated with respect to the references explained below:
