THE STUDENT LOAN CORPORATIONNotes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)March 31, 2003

1.       Significant
Accounting Policies

Interim
Financial Information

| | The
      financial information of The Student Loan Corporation (the "Company") as
      of March 31, 2003 and for the three-month periods ended
      March 31, 2003 and 2002 is unaudited and includes all adjustments
      (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of
      management, are necessary to fairly state the Company's financial position
      and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles
      generally accepted in the United States of America. The results for the
      three-month period ended March 31, 2003 may not be
      indicative of the results for the full year ended December 31, 2003. The
      accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
      financial statements and related notes included in the Company's 2002
      Annual Report and Form 10-K.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Certain
      amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to
      conform with the current year's presentation. Such reclassifications had
      no effect on the results of operations as previously
  reported.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use of Estimates

| | In
      preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management
      has used a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting
      of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
      liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
      reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and
      assumptions.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue Recognition

| | Revenues,
     which include interest, fees, and gains on loans securitized if any, are recognized as
     earned.  Interest income may include special allowance payments and other
     interest subsidies made by the federal government as prescribed under the
     Federal Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (the "Act").
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Premiums and discounts on loan portfolio purchases and loan origination and
     lender fees paid on disbursements are deferred and amortized to interest income
     on a level yield basis over the average life of the student loans in those
     portfolios.  Average life is determined based upon a consideration of a variety
     of factors, including customer prepayments and guarantor payments received
     through the claims process.  The average life of a student loan may be different
     from one portfolio to another based upon loan type, year of purchase or other
     factors.  Therefore, different lives are used for different portfolio types based
     upon these underlying loan characteristics and historical performance.  The average
     lives of these loans are reviewed periodically and compared to actual loan run off.
     The Company makes periodic adjustments to average life based on these comparisons
     and analyses.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loans

| | Loans
primarily consist of student loans originated under the Federal Family Education
Loan ("FFEL") Program authorized by the U.S. Department  of Education (the
"Department") under the Act, and are insured by guaranty agencies ("guarantors").
Student loan interest, inclusive of special allowance payments and floor income,
if any, is recognized as it is earned.  Federally mandated loan origination or
lender fees paid on disbursements, as well as other loan origination costs and
premiums and discounts on loan portfolio purchases, are deferred and amortized
to interest income on a level yield basis over the average life of the student
loans in those portfolios.  The determination of the average life is based
upon a consideration of a variety of factors, including customer pre-payments and
guarantor payments received through the claims process.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The Company also has a portfolio of alternative loans, primarily CitiAssist Loans.
Generally, such loans are insured against loss by private insurers or are covered
under risk-sharing agreements with creditworthy universities.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allowance for Loan Losses

| | Allowance
for loan losses primarily is a reserve for estimated losses on the Company's
FFEL Program loan portfolio under the risk-sharing provisions of the Act, which
provide for lender risk-sharing of 2% of the principal and accrued interest on most
claims of FFEL Program defaulted loans.  The allowance also reserves for
estimated losses on CitiAssist Loans.  Most of the Company's CitiAssist Loan
portfolio is insured by Globe Indemnity Company ("GIC"), a subsidiary of Royal
& Sun Alliance, and other investment-grade private third party insurers and are
generally subject to risk-sharing losses of 5% of the claimed amount.  Effective
April 1, 2003, the Company began to insure substantially all new CitiAssist
Loan originations and purchases through United Guaranty Corporation, a subsidiary
of American International Group ("AIG").  Under the new insurer, defaults on new
loan originations are generally subject to risk-sharing losses of 10% - 20%.  The
allowance also provides a reserve for certain CitiAssist Loans that are not
insured against loss.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The allowance is established based on estimates of probable losses inherent in
the FFEL Program and CitiAssist Loan portfolios and is determined through various
statistical analyses.  These include migration analyses, in which historical
delinquency and credit loss experience is applied to the current aging of the
portfolio, together with analyses that reflect current trends and conditions.  The
estimated losses (net of any third party risk-sharing) are accrued to the
allowance when the student loans reach 90 days of delinquency.  Actual losses,
including those that arise from claims with guarantors and private insurers, are
charged against the allowance as they occur.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Student Loan
Securitizations

| | The Company
accounts for its securitization transactions in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 140, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,
a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125".  Under the Company's program to securitize
student loans, the loans are removed from the financial statements of the Company and
ultimately sold to an independent trust.  In turn, the trust sells securities,
backed by the student loan assets, to outside investors.  Since the securitizations
meet the SFAS No. 140 criteria for sale recognition, gains or losses on the sale
of the student loans are recorded at the time of securitization.  Residual
interests that are retained in the loans securitized are accounted for as
investments in available-for-sale debt securities.  Initial and subsequent
measurements of the fair value of the residual retained interests are performed
using a discounted cash flow model.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loans
Available for Sale

| | Loans
      available for sale represent loans originated or purchased by the Company
      for future securitization. These loans are recorded at the lower of cost
      or market value. Any net credit losses on these loans are charged to other
      expense as incurred.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hedging Transactions

| | The Company's
     interest rate swap agreements are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended, which
requires that all derivatives be recorded at fair value on the balance sheet.  Fair
value is determined by discounting the cash flows using market interest rates through
the contractual maturity dates.  These derivatives, which have been designated
and are effective as cash flow hedges, are recorded in other liabilities.  Changes
in these derivatives' fair values, net of taxes, are recorded in the accumulated other
changes in equity from nonowner sources component of stockholders' equity.  These
changes in fair value will be included in earnings of future periods when earnings
are also affected by the variability of the hedged cash flows.  Accrued interest
receivable or payable related to the interest rate swap agreements is
recorded in interest expense.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 149,
"Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
(SFAS No.149).  SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts,
and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133.  In particular, this Statement
clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets
the characteristic of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing
component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows.  This
Statement is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after
June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.

2.       Accounting Changes

| | The
Company participates in various stock-based compensation plans under which Citigroup stock or stock
options are granted to certain of the Company's employees.  In January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the
fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",
prospectively to all awards granted, modified, or settled after December 31, 2002.  The prospective
method is one of the adoption methods provided for under SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", issued in December 2002.  The fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123 require that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and
recognized over the service period.  This compensation cost is determined using option pricing models,
intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date.  Prior to January 1, 2003, the
Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees",
application of which generally results in no charge to earnings for employee stock option awards because
the options granted under these plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying
stock at the grant date.   Effective January 1, 2003, the Company began recording an expense for these
awards.  The adoption of SFAS No. 123 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations. Changes have been made to various stock-based compensation plan
provisions for awards granted in 2003.  Other changes also may be made that may impact the expense
recognized under SFAS No. 123.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Also, in January 2003, the FASB released FASB Interpretation
No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46").  This interpretation changes the
method of determining whether certain entities, including securitization entities, should be included in
consolidated financial statements.  Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") are defined as entities: (1)
that have an equity investment that is not sufficient to finance their activities without additional
subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) that have equity investors that lack certain
essential characteristics of a controlling interest, such as the ability to make significant decisions
about the entity's activities or the obligation to absorb the expected losses or receive the expected
returns of the entity.  Certain entities, including transferors to qualifying special-purpose entities
("QSPEs") meeting the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 140, are specifically exempted from the scope of
FIN 46.  Since the Company's securitizations use trust arrangements that meet the QSPE conditions of
SFAS No. 140, its QSPE's financial statements will not be consolidated with the financial statements of
the Company.  Therefore, the impact of adopting FIN 46 was not material to the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

3.       Related Party
Transactions



| | Citibank (New York State) ("CNYS"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc., owns 80% of
         the outstanding common stock of the Company.  A number of significant transactions are carried out
         between the Company and Citigroup and its affiliates.  The Company's FFEL Program loan portfolio
         primarily consists of student loans originated through a trust agreement with CNYS.  The majority of the
         Company's loan originations and servicing is performed through the provisions of intercompany agreements
         with affiliates of Citigroup.  Expenses related to these agreements were $7.9 million and $7.2 million
         for the first quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively.  In addition, the Company recorded loan
         origination and servicing revenue of $2.8 million and $2.0 million for the first three months of 2003
         and 2002, respectively, for work performed by the Company on CitiAssist Loans held by CNYS prior to
         purchase by the Company.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | At March 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding short- and long-term unsecured borrowings with CNYS,
         pursuant to the terms of an Omnibus Credit Agreement (the "Omnibus Agreement"), of $14.4 billion and
         $6.7 billion, respectively.  At March 31, 2003 and 2002, the total outstanding borrowings had contracted
         weighted average interest rates of 1.8% and 3.6%, respectively, based on LIBOR, at the time the
         borrowings were established or rates reset.  For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,
         the Company incurred $93.4 million and $163.3 million, respectively, in interest expense payable to CNYS
         related to these borrowings.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In 2002, the Company entered into a number of interest rate swap agreements with a subsidiary of
         Citigroup.  At March 31, 2003, the agreements had notional amounts totaling $3.2 billion and remaining
         terms of between three and twenty-one months.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company
         realized $3.6 million in interest expense related to these swap agreements.  No interest expense was
         realized on the swap agreements during the first quarter of 2002.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In addition, Citigroup and its subsidiaries engage in other transactions and servicing activities with
         the Company, including cash management, data processing, income tax payments, loan servicing, employee
         benefits, payroll administration and facilities management.  Also, certain of the Company's employees
         perform services on behalf of other Citigroup entities, which are unrelated to the business of education
         financing, and for which the Company receives compensation.  Management believes that the terms under
         which these transactions and services are provided are, in the aggregate, no less favorable to the
         Company than those that could be obtained from unaffiliated parties.

4.       Interest Rate
Swap Agreements

| | To better match the interest rate characteristics of its borrowings with its loan assets, the Company,
         from time to time, enters into interest rate swap agreements on portions of its portfolio.  The swap
         agreements are intended to reduce the basis risk caused by differences between the Company's borrowing
         rates (based on LIBOR) and the student loan lending rates (based primarily on the 91-day Treasury Bill).
         The Company's hedges are in compliance with the hedge accounting provisions of SFAS No. 133, as amended,
         and management expects the Company's hedge program to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flows
         for the risk being hedged.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In 2002, the Company entered into a number of interest rate swap agreements with an affiliate of
         Citigroup to receive payments based on LIBOR and make payments based on the 91-day Treasury Bill rate.
         These agreements, which have been designated and are effective as cash flow hedges, have notional
         amounts totaling $3.2 billion and contractual terms of between six and twenty-four months.   The fair
         value of the swaps at March 31, 2003 was a $6.3 million liability and is reflected in other liabilities
         on the balance sheet with a corresponding amount, net of taxes of $2.5 million, recorded in the
         accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources component of stockholders' equity.
         Substantially all of this balance in accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources is
         expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.   No amounts have been excluded
         from the assessment of effectiveness and no hedge ineffectiveness has been recognized in earnings
         pursuant to these swap agreements.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources from cash flow hedges, net of tax, are
         summarized as follows:
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|                       | Three-Month Period  
|---------------------- | --------------------
|(Dollars in thousands) | Ended March 31, 2003

|Beginning Balance                         | ($7,010)
|----------------------------------------- | --------
|Net unrealized gain from cash flow hedges | 1,041   
|Net amounts reclassified to earnings      | 2,192   
|Ending Balance                            | ($3,777)

| | Net amounts reclassified from accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner
sources are reported in interest expense.  No changes in equity from nonowner
sources from cash flow hedges were reported for the first three months of 2002.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.       Commitments and
Contingencies

| | In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various litigation proceedings incidental
         to and typical of the business in which it is engaged.  In the opinion of the Company's management, the
         ultimate resolution of these proceedings would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the
         results of the Company's operations, financial condition or liquidity.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Amendments to the Act have reduced the net interest spread earned on the FFEL Program guaranteed student
         loan portfolio as new loans with lower yields are added to the portfolio and older, more profitable
         loans are repaid.  Despite reductions in funding costs and their expected effects on net income,
         pressure on margins will continue as more loans are originated with lower yields.  In addition,  the Act
         may be amended by Congress at any time, possibly resulting in further reductions in FFEL Program loan
         subsidies and reduced margins.  Any such amendment could adversely affect the Company's business and
         prospects.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.      Student Loan
Securitization

| | In 2002, the Company commenced a program to securitize certain portfolios of FFEL Program student loan
         assets.  The Company accounts for its securitization transactions in accordance with the provisions of
         SFAS No. 140.  Under the Company's program to securitize student loans, the loans are sold at par value,
         through a wholly owned special purpose subsidiary, to an independent trust that was established for that
         purpose.  The trust, in turn, sells debt securities, backed by the student loan assets, to outside
         investors.  The Company has retained the servicing relationship on the transferred portfolios and
         receives servicing and administrative fees from the trust.  Failure to service the loans in accordance
         with contractual obligations could lead to a termination of the servicing rights and the loss of future
         servicing revenue.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | At March 31, 2003, total student loan assets held by the trust were approximately $435.2 million. At
         that time, approximately $0.2 million of receivables was due from the trust for accrued interest on a
         note receivable and no amounts were payable to the trust.   During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the
         Company received cash flows from the trust of $0.2 million for loan servicing and administrative fees as
         the master servicer.   During the first quarter of 2003, there were no new securitizations of student
         loans.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | At March 31, 2003, the Company maintained an ownership interest in the assets securitized of
         approximately $28.5 million in the form of residual retained interests. These retained interests,
         composed of a note receivable and other retained interests, are included in other assets in the
         Company's financial statements. The Company accounts for the retained interests as investments in
         available-for-sale debt securities.  As of March 31, 2003, the Company had an unrealized holding gain of
         $4.6 million, net of taxes of $3.0 million, recorded in the accumulated other changes in equity from
         nonowner sources component of stockholders' equity.  Of this unrealized gain,   $4.1 million, net of
         taxes, was recorded in the first quarter of 2003.

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

Critical
Accounting Policies

| | There were no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies during the first quarter of
         2003.  The Company considers its accounting policies on revenue recognition, allowance for loan losses,
         student loan securitizations, and hedging transactions to be its critical accounting policies.  For a
         description of these and other significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the financial statements
         and the Company's 2002 Annual Report and Form 10-K.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Accounting Changes

| | For accounting
changes adopted in the first quarter of 2003, see Note 2 to the financial statements.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financial Condition

| | At March 31, 2003, the Company's student loan assets were composed of a $19.8 billion portfolio of loans
         held and a $2.0 billion inventory of loans available for sale.  These  $21.8 billion of loan assets,
         composed primarily of loans originated under the Federal Family Education Loan ("FFEL") Program,
         increased by $1.3 billion (6%) from $20.5 billion at December 31, 2002.  This growth was attributable to
         FFEL Program loan disbursements totaling $1,328 million and loan purchases of $1,080 million in the
         first quarter of 2003, partially offset by $1,151 million in loan reductions (attributable to borrower
         principal payments, loan consolidations and claims paid by guarantors) and other adjustments of $6
         million.  During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company had FFEL Program loan disbursements
         of $957 million, loan purchases of $570 million, loan securitizations of $249 million, loan reductions
         of $862 million and other adjustments of $4 million.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | An analysis of
loan disbursements for the first three months of 2003 and 2002 is presented below:
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(Dollars in millions)                      | 2003     | 2002 | Difference | % Change
|------------------------------------------ | -------- | ---- | ---------- | --------
|FFEL Program Stafford and PLUS Loans       | $    913 | $767 | $146       | 19%     
|FFEL Program Federal Consolidation Loans * | 415      | 190  | 225        | 118%    
|Total loan disbursements                   | $1,328   | $957 | $371       | 39%     

| | * Amounts exclude Federal Consolidation Loans generated through third party marketing relationships,
         which are reported as purchases since these Consolidation Loans require the payment of third party
         procurement costs in order to obtain the underlying loans for consolidation.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The increase in loan disbursements for the first three months of 2003, compared to the same period last
         year, is primarily due to increased Federal Consolidation Loan volumes resulting from the current
         interest rate environment, which has induced more borrowers to convert their existing student loans into
         fixed rate Consolidation Loans.  Also, increased disbursement volumes were generated by ongoing sales
         and electronic commerce initiatives.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | From time to time, the Company makes student loan purchases.  For the first three months of 2003, the
         Company's student loan purchases included $534 million purchased for its portfolio and $546 million
         purchased for its resale inventory.  The Company's total loan purchases for the first three months of
         2003 and 2002 are shown in the table below:
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(Dollars in millions)                    | 2003    | 2002    | Difference | %Change
|---------------------------------------- | ------- | ------- | ---------- | -------
|FFEL Program Stafford and PLUS Loans     | $    34 | $    50 | $   (16)   | (32%)  
|FFEL Program Federal Consolidation Loans | 720     | 325     | 395        | 122%   
|CitiAssist Loans                         | 326     | 195     | 131        | 67%    
|Total loan purchases                     | $1,080  | $  570  | $  510     | 89%    

| | The $510 million increase in loan purchases is primarily attributable to growth in Federal Consolidation
         Loan volumes, which are primarily targeted for its available for sale inventory.  This available for
         sale inventory was established to create a portfolio of loans available for future securitization and
         its size is dependent on the needs of the securitization program, as well as current market conditions.
         The growth in the Consolidation Loan volume is a result of the current interest rate environment, which
         has induced more borrowers to convert their existing student loans into fixed rate Consolidation
         Loans.   The Company's participation in securitization and secondary market loan activities is dependent
         upon market conditions.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In order to comply with certain regulatory requirements, CitiAssist Loans are originated by CNYS
         through an intercompany agreement.  Following full disbursement, the Company purchases all qualified
         CitiAssist Loans at the current value at the time of purchase, including contractual fees.  At March 31,
         2003, CitiAssist Loans of $489 million had been disbursed by CNYS, but not yet purchased by the Company
         and are not included in the Company's March 31, 2003 loan portfolio.  CitiAssist Loans are originated
         through an alternative loan program and do not carry federal government
         guarantees.

         taxes, was recorded in the first quarter of 2003.

| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In 2002, the Company entered into a number of interest rate swap agreements with an affiliate of
         Citigroup to receive payments based on LIBOR and make payments based on the 91-day Treasury Bill rate.
         These agreements, which have been designated and are effective as cash flow hedges, have notional
         amounts totaling $3.2 billion and contractual terms of between six and twenty-four months.   The fair
         value of the swaps at March 31, 2003 was a $6.3 million liability and is reflected in other liabilities

         from the assessment of effectiveness and no hedge ineffectiveness has been recognized in earnings
         pursuant to these swap agreements.  For additional information on the Company's interest rate swap
         agreements, see Note 4 to the financial statements.

| | Pursuant to federal tax regulations, the Company has elected to be included in the consolidated federal
         income tax return of Citigroup, and is also included in certain combined or unitary state/local income
         or franchise tax returns of Citicorp/Citigroup or its subsidiaries.  In the first three months of 2003,
         the Company paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $61 million, primarily pursuant to a tax-sharing
         agreement with CNYS, compared to $38 million paid in the same period last year.  The increase in taxes
         paid is primarily attributable to the timing of CNYS' requests for tax payments and is not reflective of
         any significant changes in the tax provision.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The Company's short- and long-term debt was procured primarily through an Omnibus Credit Agreement with
         CNYS, which provides for a maximum aggregate credit limit of $25 billion.   Short-term debt decreased by
         $1.4 billion to $14.4 billion at March 31, 2003, compared to that outstanding at December 31, 2002. The
         decrease was primarily attributable to a $13.8 billion repayment of short-term borrowings in the first
         quarter of 2003, partially offset by new short-term borrowings of $9.6 billion and a $2.8 billion
         reclassification of maturing long-term debt to short-term.  The $2.7 billion increase in long-term
         borrowings at March 31, 2003, compared to December 31, 2002, was primarily due to the procurement of
         $5.5 billion of new long-term borrowings, partially offset by the reclassification of $2.8 billion of
         maturing long-term debt to short-term.  The new borrowings were used primarily to fund new loan
         disbursements and purchases.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | At March 31, 2003 and 2002, the total outstanding borrowings had weighted average interest rates of 1.8%
         and 3.6%, respectively, based on LIBOR, at the time the borrowings were established or rates reset.  For
         the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company incurred $93.4 million and $163.3
         million, respectively, in interest expense payable to CNYS related to these borrowings.  The $69.9
         million decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to the decline in interest rates.
         During the first quarter of 2003, the Company made $133 million in interest payments to CNYS, compared
         to $23 million for the same period in 2002.   The difference in interest payments between the two
         periods primarily resulted from differences in the contractual interest due dates.

| | The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.77 per common share on March 3, 2003.  On April 17, 2003,
         the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.77 per
         share to be paid June 2, 2003 to stockholders of record on May 15, 2003.

Results of
Operations

Quarter Ended
March 31, 2003

| | Net income was $61.5 million ($3.08 basic and diluted earnings per share) for the first quarter of
         2003.  This was an increase of $11.9 million (24%) compared to earnings for the same period last year.
         The improvement is attributable to 17% portfolio growth, driven by record disbursement volume and
         increased floor income earned on both Consolidation and other FFEL Program loan assets.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2003 was 2.30%, up 14 basis points from the first
         quarter 2002 margin of 2.16%.  The improvement in net interest margin was driven by increased floor
         income resulting from the Company's ability to take advantage of favorable funding opportunities as
         market interest rates continued to decline.  The Company expects the floor income benefit on Stafford
         Loans, which represent the majority of the Company's loan assets, to end in July 2003, when current
         borrower interest rates on these Stafford Loans reset.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2003 were $26.3 million, an increase of  $2.6 million
         (11%) from the same period last year, reflecting both the incremental costs incurred to service the
         larger loan portfolio and the ongoing investments in sales and technology.  For the first quarter of
         2003, the Company's expense ratio, operating expenses as a percentage of average student loan assets,
         was 0.50%, reflecting a one basis point improvement from the first quarter of 2002.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | An allowance for loan losses provides a reserve for estimated losses on the Companys FFEL Program loan
         portfolio under the 2% risk-sharing provisions of the Act.   The allowance also provides a reserve for
         estimated losses on CitiAssist Loans, most of which are insured by Globe Indemnity Company (GIC), a
         subsidiary of Royal & Sun Alliance, and are generally subject to risk-sharing losses of 5% of the
         claimed amount. Effective April 1, 2003, the Company began to insure substantially all new CitiAssist
         Loan originations and purchases through United Guaranty Corporation, a subsidiary of American
         International Group ("AIG").  Under the new insurer's program, defaults on new loan originations are
         generally subject to risk-sharing losses of 10% - 20%.  However, since the increase in risk-sharing
         expense is generally expected to be offset by a decrease in insurance premiums, the Company does not
         expect a material change in  overall costs related to the CitiAssist Loan program.  The allowance also
         provides a reserve for certain CitiAssist Loans that are not insured against loss.  In the first quarter
         of 2003, the provision for loan losses increased by $0.5 million, compared to the same period in 2002.
         This increase is attributable primarily to growth in the repayment portfolio, including CitiAssist
         Loans, and is not indicative of any material changes in delinquency or other risk factors between the
         two periods.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The Company's return on equity was 31.6% for the first quarter of 2003, compared to 30.1% for the same
         period of 2002.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The Company's effective tax rate for the first three months of 2003 was approximately 37%, compared to
         40% for the same period in the prior year.  The effective tax rate decrease was primarily attributable
         to a change in certain estimated tax rates applicable to the Company for 2003 and its impact on the
         Company's existing deferred tax assets and liabilities.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Special
Allowance and Floor Income

| | Most FFEL Program Stafford and Parent Loans to Undergraduate Students ("PLUS") Loans originated
         subsequent to July 23, 1992 have variable rates and qualify for the federal government's special
         allowance payment ("SAP").  Whenever the stated interest rates on these FFEL Program loans provide less
         than prescribed rates of return, as defined by the Act, the federal government makes a SAP, which
         increases the lender's loan yield by markups ranging between 1.74 and 3.50 percentage points per annum,
         over a base rate tied to either the 91-day Treasury Bill auction yield or the 90-day Commercial Paper
         rate, depending on the loan's origination date.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The variable borrower rates on most of the Company's FFEL Program Stafford and PLUS Loans are generally
         subject to annual reset provisions.  In periods of declining interest rates, the stated borrower rates
         become, in effect, interest rate floors.  Floor income is generally earned in declining short-term
         interest rate environments when the Company's cost of funds declines while this borrower interest rate
         remains fixed, generating net interest margin in excess of the expected spread. Floor income may also be
         earned on certain Federal Consolidation Loans since the borrower interest rate for these loans is fixed
         for the life of the loan.   Depending on the manner in which the Company's assets are funded, the
         Company may earn higher interest margin spreads, which include floor income, on portions of its
         portfolio until the borrower interest reset date, which occurs annually for the majority of the
         Company's loans. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company earned $33.6 million of floor
         income, compared to $21.1 million for the same period of 2002.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Off-Balance
Sheet Transactions

| | The Company entered into two off-balance sheet transactions in 2002 in which certain FFEL Program
         portfolios of student loan assets were securitized, a process by which the loans are transferred to a
         special purpose entity ("SPE"), thereby converting the loans into cash before they would have been
         realized in the normal course of business.  The securitized loans are removed from the financial
         statements of the Company and ultimately sold to an independent trust that was established for that
         purpose.  In turn, the trust sells debt securities, backed by the student loan assets, to outside
         investors in order to provide the cash to pay for the transferred loans.  Investors have recourse to the
         assets in the trust and benefit from other credit enhancements, such as a cash collateral account and
         other specified enhancements. After securitization, the Company continues to provide servicing for the
         loans sold to the trust.  As a result, the Company earns administrative and servicing fees on the
         securitized portfolio. The Company can use the cash proceeds from the loan sale to retire debt, fund new
         loan originations, purchase loans or for other business purposes.  During the first quarter of 2003, there were no new
         securitizations of loan assets.  For additional information on the Company's student loan securitization activities,
         see Note 6 to the financial statements.

Regulatory
Impacts

| | Amendments to the Act that governs the FFEL Program have reduced the interest spread earned on the FFEL
         Program guaranteed student loan portfolio as new loans with lower yields are added to the portfolio and
         older, more profitable loans are repaid.  Despite reductions in funding costs and their expected effects
         on net income, pressure on margins is expected to continue as more loans are originated with lower
         lender yields. Amendments to the Act also introduced a competitor program, the Federal Direct Student
         Loan Program ("Direct Lending"), in which private lenders, such as the Company, do not participate.
         Direct Lending accounts for approximately 20-30%, on a national basis, of all student loans originated
         under federally sponsored programs.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The Company continues to search for ways to take advantage of greater economies of scale.  It is
         pursuing both new and existing marketing programs, including electronic commerce, and continues to expand its
         guarantor relationships and pursue alternative loan products, such as CitiAssist, that are not dependent
         on federal funding and program authorization.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Discussion About Market Risk

| | The Company's primary market risk exposure results from fluctuations in the spreads between the
         Company's borrowing and lending rates, which may be impacted by shifts in market interest rates.  Market
         risk is measured using various tools, including Earnings-at-Risk.  The Earnings-at-Risk calculation
         seeks to determine the effect that shifts in interest rates are expected to have on net interest margin
         in future periods.  The Company prepares Earnings-at-Risk calculations to measure the discounted pre-tax
         earnings impact over a preset time span of a specific upward and downward shift in the interest rate
         yield curve. The Earnings-at-Risk calculation, a static and passive measurement that excludes
         management's responses to prospective changes in market interest rates, reflects the repricing gaps in
         the position as well as option positions, both explicit and embedded, in the loan portfolio.
         Earnings-at-Risk is calculated by multiplying the gap between interest sensitive items, including
         assets, liabilities and derivative instruments, by a 100 basis point change in the yield curve.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The Earnings-at-Risk calculation measures the Company's position at one point in time.  As indicated in
         the table below, as of March 31, 2003, a 100 basis point increase in the interest yield curve would have
         a potential negative impact on the Company's pre-tax earnings of approximately $14.9 million for the
         next twelve months and approximately $156.4 million thereafter.  A 100 basis point decrease in the
         interest yield curve as of March 31, 2003 would have a potential positive impact on the Company's pre-tax
         earnings of approximately $22.6 million for the next twelve months and approximately $156.4 million
         thereafter.   The increase in the March 31, 2003 Earnings-at-Risk calculations, compared to those at
         March 31, 2002, was due to the interest rate environment at March 31, 2003 and its impact on floor
         income.

| | In addition, the Company has significantly greater exposure to uneven shifts in interest rate curves
         (i.e., the Treasury Bill to LIBOR rate spreads).  The Company, through its Asset/Liability Management
         Committee, actively manages these risks by setting Earnings-at-Risk limits and takes actions in response
         to interest rate movements against the existing structure.
