See individual segment and product discussions on pages 10 - 23 for additional discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations.
Revenues, Net of Interest Expense
Total revenues, net of interest expense as calculated from the Consolidated Statement of Income, of $15.4 billion in the 2004 first quarter were up $2.2 billion or 16% from the 2003 first quarter. Global Consumer revenues were up $1.7 billion or 18% in the 2004 first quarter to $11.0 billion, led by a $1.3 billion or 39% increase in Cards, reflecting the results of the acquisition of the Sears and Home Depot portfolios, an increase of $315 million or 9% in Retail Banking, and a $128 million or 5% increase in Consumer Finance from the prior-year period.
GCIB revenues of $3.0 billion in the 2004 first quarter increased $156 million or 6% from the 2003 first quarter, including a $121 million or 6% increase in Capital Markets and Banking, reflecting stronger performances in global equities. There was also an increase of $35 million or 4% in Transaction Services from the 2003 first quarter.
Global Investment Management revenues of $1.0 billion in the 2004 first quarter were up $207 million or 28% from the 2003 first quarter, reflecting increases of $47 million or 26% in Life Insurance and Annuities, $113 million or 25% in Private Bank, and $47 million or 42% in Asset Management. Revenues from Proprietary Investment Activities in the 2004 first quarter increased $43 million or 48% from a year ago.
Selected Revenue Items
Net interest revenue of $9.5 billion increased $1.3 billion or 15% from year-ago levels, reflecting the impact of a changing rate environment, business volume growth in certain markets and the impact of acquisitions. Fees and Commissions of $3.2 billion were up $498 million or 18% from the 2003 first quarter primarily due to increases in business volumes and the Sears acquisition. Foreign exchange revenues of $492 million decreased $415 million or 46% from the prior-year quarter.
Trading account revenues increased $504 million from the prior-year quarter and investment transactions revenues remained flat year-over-year at $112 million. Other revenue of $1.6 billion increased $300 million or 23%, primarily reflecting the gain on the divestiture of Citicorp's Electronic Financial Services Inc.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $7.2 billion for the 2004 first quarter, up $741 million or 11% from the comparable 2003 period. The increase primarily reflected increased costs related to acquisitions as well as spending undertaken to support customer initiatives in a number of businesses, and expense increases related to higher options, pension and legal costs.
Global Consumer expenses were up 18% from the 2003 first quarter, driven by acquisitions as well as increased marketing and advertising costs. Global Investment Management expenses increased 20% primarily due to higher incentive compensation, legal expenses and commissions reflecting increased trading volumes, while GCIB expenses decreased 4%, primarily reflecting lower incentive compensation.
Benefits, Claims, and Credit Losses
Benefits, claims, and credit losses were $2.4 billion in the 2004 first quarter, up $166 million or 8% from the 2003 first quarter. Global Consumer provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses of $2.3 billion were up 17% from the 2003 first quarter, reflecting the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by an improved credit environment.
GCIB provision for credit losses of ($60) million in the 2004 first quarter decreased $176 million from the year-ago level, due to improved credit quality in the corporate loan portfolio.
6
Corporate cash-basis loans at March 31, 2004 and 2003 were $2.9 billion and $4.1 billion, respectively, while the corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) portfolio totaled $41 million and $59 million, respectively. The decrease in corporate cash-basis loans from March 31, 2003 was related to improvements in the overall credit environment, write-offs, as well as sales of loans in the portfolio. Corporate cash-basis loans at March 31, 2004 decreased $494 million from December 31, 2003.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate of 31.4% in the 2004 first quarter increased 10 basis points from 31.3% in the 2003 first quarter. The 2004 rate included a credit to the tax provision of $121 million as a result of the closing of certain audit cycles. The effective tax rate for full-year 2003 was 29.7%.
Regulatory Capital
Total capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) was $79.1 billion or 13.00% of net risk-adjusted assets, and Tier 1 capital was $53.5 billion or 8.80% of net risk-adjusted assets at March 31, 2004, compared to $76.2 billion or 12.68% and $50.7 billion or 8.44%, respectively, at December 31, 2003.

EVENTS IN 2004 and 2003
Charge for Regulatory and Legal Matters
On May 10, 2004, Citigroup Inc. announced that it was taking a charge of $4.95 billion after-tax to cover the cost of resolving numerous lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of the transactions and activities that were the subjects of (i) the April 2003 settlement of research and IPO spinning-related inquiries conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, the New York Stock Exchange and the New York Attorney General, (ii) the July 2003 settlement of the Enron-related inquiries conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Manhattan District Attorney, (iii) underwritings for, and research coverage of, WorldCom, and (iv) the allocation of, and aftermarket trading in, securities sold in initial public offerings. The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of the transactions and activities described in (ii) above. Subject to further review and adjustment, it is anticipated that the Company will record an after-tax charge of approximately $950 million in the second quarter of 2004.
The Company believes that its reserve, subject to any further adjustments in allocation, is adequate to meet all of its remaining exposure for these matters. However, in view of the large number of these matters, the uncertainties of the timing and outcome of this type of litigation, and the significant amounts involved, it is possible that the ultimate costs of these matters may exceed or be below the reserve. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in these cases, and to resolve them in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of these lawsuits and other proceedings, while not likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, may be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period.
Acquisition of KorAm Bank
On February 22, 2004, Citigroup and KorAm Bank announced that they, together with an investor consortium led by The Carlyle Group and JP Morgan Corsair II (the investor consortium), signed an agreement for Citigroup to acquire a controlling interest in KorAm. Based on 2003 revenues, KorAm Bank is the seventh-largest commercial bank in Korea, with 222 domestic branches and total assets of $35.9 billion.
The terms of the transaction included the acquisition of the investor consortium's 36.6% stake in KorAm Bank and a tender offer for all of the remaining shares at a price of KRW 15,500 per share in cash.
Under the tender offer, which expired on April 30, 2004, approximately 60.9% of the outstanding shares were tendered. When combined with the investor consortium's stake in KorAm Bank, Citigroup's overall shareholding will be approximately 97.5%, with a total purchase price of KRW 3.07 trillion ($2.6 billion). The acquisition is expected to close during the 2004 second quarter.
The businesses of Citigroup and KorAm Bank, taken together, will create the sixth-largest commercial bank in Korea, based on 2003 revenues. Citigroup expects that the transaction will be accretive to 2004 earnings. The operations of KorAm will be integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.
Certain of the above statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 42.
Divestiture of Citicorp Electronic Financial Services Inc.
During January 2004, the Company completed the sale of Electronic Financial Services Inc. (EFS) for $390 million. EFS is a provider of government-issued benefits payments and prepaid stored value cards used by state and federal government agencies, as well as of stored value services for private institutions. The sale of EFS resulted in an after-tax gain of $180 million in the 2004 first quarter.
Acquisition of Washington Mutual Finance Corporation
On January 9, 2004, Citigroup acquired Washington Mutual Finance Corporation (WMF) for $1.25 billion. WMF was the consumer finance subsidiary of Washington Mutual, Inc. WMF provides direct consumer installment loans and real-estate-secured loans, as well as sales finance and the sale of insurance. The acquisition includes 427 WMF offices located in 26 states, primarily in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. WMF has more than 2,300 employees and total assets of $3.8 billion. Citicorp has guaranteed all outstanding unsecured indebtedness of WMF in connection with this acquisition. The operations of WMF were integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.
8
Acquisition of Sears' Credit Card and Financial Products Business
On November 3, 2003, Citigroup acquired the Sears' Credit Card and Financial Products business (Sears). $28.6 billion of gross receivables were acquired for a 10% premium of $2.9 billion and annual performance payments over the next 10 years based on new accounts, retail sales volume, and financial product sales. $5.8 billion of intangible assets and goodwill have been recorded as a result of this transaction. In addition, the companies signed a multi-year marketing and servicing agreement across a range of each company's businesses, products, and services. The results of Sears are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from November 2003 forward. The operations of Sears were integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.
Acquisition of The Home Depot's Private-Label Portfolio
In July 2003, Citigroup completed the acquisition of The Home Depot's private-label portfolio (Home Depot), which added $6 billion in receivables and 12 million accounts. The results of Home Depot are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from July 2003 forward. The operations of Home Depot were integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. The Company has identified five policies as being significant because they require management to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. These policies relate to Valuations of Financial Instruments, Allowance for Credit Losses, Securitizations, Argentina and Legal Reserves. The Company, in consultation with the Citigroup Audit and Risk Management Committee, has reviewed and approved these significant accounting policies, which are further described in the Company's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

Global Consumer reported net income of $2.438 billion in the 2004 first quarter, up $447 million or 22% from the prior-year period, driven by double digit growth across all products. Cards net income increased $263 million or 37% in the 2004 first quarter compared to the 2003 first quarter, mainly reflecting the addition of the Sears and Home Depot portfolios and growth in Mexico, Asia, and EMEA, combined with a lower effective tax rate in International Cards. Retail Banking net income increased $186 million or 23% in the 2004 first quarter, primarily reflecting strong international growth in all regions driven by increases in wealth management products, combined with growth in mortgages and improved credit in North America. Consumer Finance net income increased $64 million or 13% from the 2003 first quarter, primarily reflecting growth in North America, including the acquisition of the WMF consumer finance business, partially offset by the impact of portfolio contraction and lower spreads in Japan.
In January 2004, Citigroup completed the acquisition of WMF, which added $3.8 billion in average loans and 427 loan offices. In November 2003, Citigroup completed the acquisition of Sears, which added $15.4 billion of private-label card receivables, $13.2 billion of bankcard receivables and 32 million accounts. In July 2003, Citigroup completed the acquisition of the Home Depot portfolio, which added $6 billion in receivables and 12 million accounts. In July 2003, Citigroup also acquired the remaining stake in Diners Club Europe, adding 1 million accounts and $0.6 billion of receivables. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases; therefore, their results are included in the Global Consumer results from the dates of acquisition.

North America Cards reported net income of $832 million in the 2004 first quarter, up $214 million or 35% over the same period in 2003, mainly reflecting the Sears and Home Depot acquisitions and increased volumes and spreads in the U.S. and Mexico. International Cards net income of $148 million increased $49 million or 49% over the first quarter of 2003, reflecting receivables growth and improved credit combined with a lower effective tax rate.
10
As shown in the following table, average managed loans grew 21% from the prior-year period, reflecting growth of 21% in North America and 25% in International Cards. In North America, the addition of the Sears and Home Depot portfolios and growth in Mexico was partially offset by a decline in introductory promotional rate balances that was driven by a change in account acquisition marketing strategies in 2003, as well as the sale of $1.7 billion of non-strategic portfolios in 2003. International Cards growth reflected increases in Asia and EMEA, and also included the benefit of strengthening currencies and the addition of Diners Club Europe.
Total card sales were $79.1 billion, up 20% from the 2003 first quarter. North America sales were up 19% over the prior-year quarter to $67.8 billion, reflecting the impact of acquisitions and higher purchase volumes, and was partially offset by the change in account acquisition marketing strategies. International Cards sales grew 31% over the prior-year quarter to $11.3 billion reflecting broad-based growth, led by Asia, as well as the addition of Diners Club Europe and the benefit of strengthening currencies.

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $4.598 billion in the 2004 first quarter increased $1.292 billion or 39% from the prior-year quarter, reflecting growth in North America of $1.152 billion or 43% and in International Cards of $140 million or 23%. Revenue growth in North America was mainly due to the impact of acquisitions, net interest margin expansion, the benefit of increased purchase volumes and increased loans in Mexico. Revenue growth in North America was partially offset by increased credit losses on securitized receivables (which are recorded as a contra-revenue item after receivables are securitized) and the absence of prior-year net gains of $146 million that resulted from changes in estimates related to the timing of revenue recognition on securitized portfolios. Revenue growth in International Cards reflected the benefit of loan and sales growth in all regions. Revenue growth in the international markets also reflected the benefit of foreign currency translation and the addition of Diners Club Europe.
Operating expenses in the 2004 first quarter of $1.938 billion were $492 million or 34% higher than the prior-year quarter, reflecting the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation combined with increased advertising and marketing costs in the U.S. and international markets.
The provision for credit losses in the 2004 first quarter was $1.228 billion, compared to $774 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase in the provision for credit losses was mainly in North America and reflected the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in the level of securitized receivables.
The securitization of credit card receivables is limited to the Citi Cards business within North America. At March 31, 2004, securitized credit card receivables were $76.2 billon, compared to $71.0 billion at March 31, 2003. There were no credit card receivables held-for-sale at March 31, 2004, compared to $3.0 billion at March 31, 2003. Because securitization changes Citicorp's role from that of a lender to that of a loan servicer, it removes the receivables from Citicorp's balance sheet and affects the amount of revenue and the manner in which revenue and the provision for credit losses are classified in the income statement. For securitized receivables and receivables held-for-sale, gains are recognized upon sale and amounts that would otherwise be reported as net interest revenue, fee and commission revenue, and credit losses on loans are instead reported as fee and commission revenue (for servicing fees) and other revenue (for the remaining revenue, net of credit losses and the amortization of previously recognized securitization gains). Because credit losses are a component of these cash flows, revenues over the term of the transactions may vary depending upon the credit performance of the securitized receivables. However, Citicorp's exposure to credit losses on the securitized receivables is contractually limited to the cash flows from the receivables.
Including securitized receivables and receivables held-for-sale, managed net credit losses in the first quarter of 2004 were $2.554 billion, with a related loss ratio of 6.69%, compared to $2.186 billion and 6.02% in the 2003 fourth quarter and $1.832 billion and 5.86% in the prior-year quarter. The increase in the ratio from the prior-year period reflected the addition of the Sears portfolio, which impacted both the bankcard and private label portfolios in North America, as well as the impact of lower introductory promotional rate balances, and was partially offset by improvements in Asia. The increase in the ratio from the prior quarter was primarily due to seasonality and the timing of the Sears acquisition.

Loans delinquent 90 days or more on a managed basis were $3.152 billion or 2.08% of loans at March 31, 2004, compared to $3.392 billion or 2.14% at December 31, 2003 and $2.406 billion or 1.92% at March 31, 2003. The increase in delinquent loans from a year ago was primarily attributable to the addition of the Sears and Home Depot portfolios.

As shown in the preceding table, average loans grew 10% compared to the 2003 first quarter, resulting from the WMF acquisition which contributed $3.8 billion in average loans, growth in real-estate secured loans in North America and EMEA, and the impact of strengthening currencies in the international markets. In Japan, average loans in the 2004 first quarter declined 6% from the prior-year quarter, as the benefit of foreign currency translation was more than offset by the impact of charge-offs, higher pay-downs, reduced loan demand and tighter underwriting standards.
As shown in the following table, the average net interest margin of 10.16% in the 2004 first quarter declined 52 basis points from the 2003 first quarter, reflecting compression in International Consumer Finance. The average net interest margin for International Consumer Finance was 15.35% in the 2004 first quarter, declining 202 basis points from the prior-year quarter, driven by Japan. The compression of net interest margin in Japan reflected a decline in higher-yielding personal loans as well as increased non-performing loans, combined with a change in the treatment of adjustments and refunds of interest. Beginning in the 2003 second quarter, adjustments and refunds of interest charged to customer accounts are accounted for as a reduction of net interest margin whereas in prior periods, such amounts were treated as credit costs. The net interest margin decline in Japan was offset, in part, by margin expansion in Europe, reflecting lower funding costs. In North America, the average net interest margin was 8.69% in the 2004 first quarter, increasing 9 basis points from the prior-year quarter as the benefit of lower cost of funds and the addition of WMF was partially offset by lower yields. The decline in yields in North America was mainly due to the lower interest rate environment and the continued shift to higher-quality credits, particularly in the auto loan business.

Revenues, net of interest expense, of $2.688 billion in the 2004 first quarter increased $128 million or 5% from the prior-year quarter. Revenue in North America increased $200 million or 12% from the first quarter of 2003, primarily driven by the acquisition of WMF and growth in receivables, partially offset by declines in insurance-related revenue. Revenue in International Consumer Finance declined $72 million or 8% from the first quarter of 2003, mainly due to lower volumes and spreads in Japan, partially offset by the benefit of foreign currency translation and growth in EMEA and Asia.
Operating expenses of $923 million in the 2004 first quarter increased $58 million or 7% from the prior-year period, reflecting increases of $50 million or 9% in North America and $8 million or 2% in International Consumer Finance. The increase in North America was due to the acquisition of WMF. In International Consumer Finance, the impact of foreign currency translation, volume
12
growth and front office expansion in Asia and EMEA was partially offset by lower operating expenses in Japan, reflecting expense savings from branch closings, headcount reductions and the absence of prior-year repositioning costs.
The provisions for benefits, claims, and credit losses were $916 million in the 2004 first quarter, down from $930 million in the 2003 first quarter, as a lower provision for credit losses in Japan and the U.S. was partially offset by the impact of the WMF acquisition. Net credit losses and the related loss ratio were $870 million and 3.57% in the 2004 first quarter, compared to $867 million and 3.68% in the 2003 fourth quarter and $855 million and 3.91% in the 2003 first quarter. In North America, the net credit loss ratio of 2.79% in the 2004 first quarter was down from 2.81% in the 2003 fourth quarter and 3.06% in the 2003 first quarter, reflecting improvements across all products. The net credit loss ratio for International Consumer Finance was 6.31% in the 2004 first quarter, down from 6.65% in the 2003 fourth quarter and 6.69% in the 2003 first quarter, primarily due to improved conditions in Japan, where lower bankruptcy losses were partially offset by the impact on the ratio of lower loan volumes. The net credit loss ratio for International Consumer Finance was reduced by 37 basis points and 64 basis points in the 2004 first quarter and 2003 fourth quarter, respectively, as a result of the change in treatment of adjustments and refunds of interest as discussed above.
Loans delinquent 90 days or more were $2.127 billion or 2.15% of loans at March 31, 2004, compared to $2.221 billion or 2.36% at December 31, 2003 and $2.183 billion or 2.45% a year ago. The decrease in the delinquency ratio versus the prior year and prior quarter was mainly due to improvements in North America, partially offset by an increase in Japan.

Retail Banking reported net income of $985 million in the 2004 first quarter, up $186 million or 23% from the 2003 first quarter. The increase in Retail Banking was driven by growth in both North America and International Retail Banking of $89 million or 17% and $97 million or 36%, respectively. Growth in North America was mainly driven by revenue increases in all businesses except CitiCapital, combined with improved credit in the U.S. and Mexico. The increase in International Retail Banking reflected growth in all regions, led by increases in wealth management products.

As shown in the preceding table, Retail Banking grew average loans and customer deposits by 4% and 7%, respectively. Average customer deposit growth in North America primarily reflected increases in higher-margin demand and savings deposits that were partially offset by declines in time and mortgage escrow deposits. Average loan growth in North America reflected increased mortgages and student loans in Consumer Assets that were partially offset by a decline in CitiCapital resulting from the run-off of non-core portfolios and the sale of the $1.2 billion CitiCapital Fleet Services portfolio in 2003. In the international markets, average customer deposits grew 18% driven by growth in Asia, EMEA and Japan and the impact of foreign currency translation. International Retail Banking average loans increased 10% from the prior-year quarter reflecting the impact of foreign currency translation and growth in installment loans in Germany and Asia. Growth in both average loans and customer deposits were negatively impacted by volume declines in Latin America, largely reflecting the impact of strategic repositioning in the region.

As shown in the following table, revenues, net of interest expense, of $3.698 billion in the 2004 first quarter increased $315 million or 9% from the 2003 period. Revenues in North America increased $66 million or 3% in the 2004 first quarter driven by growth in all businesses except CitiCapital. Growth in North America, excluding Mexico, was driven by higher mortgage servicing revenue and the benefit of increased deposit volumes and investment product sales. These increases were partially offset by spread compression in the deposit business of Citibanking North America, the impact of lower volumes in CitiCapital and a decline in mortgage securitization-related revenue. Revenues in Mexico increased $45 million or 10% in the 2004 first quarter, primarily reflecting increased deposit volumes and banking fees, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation. International Retail Banking revenues increased $249 million or 22% in the 2004 first quarter, reflecting improvements across all regions, as well as the impact of strengthening currencies. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, higher investment product sales and increased branch lending, mainly in Germany, drove growth in EMEA. Revenue increases in Asia and Japan reflected continued growth in investment product sales and deposit volumes, while revenue growth in Latin America was driven by improvements in Argentina combined with net interest margin expansion.

Operating expenses in the 2004 first quarter increased $155 million or 8% from the comparable 2003 period. In North America, operating expense growth of $73 million or 6% was primarily due to higher advertising spending in Citibanking North America and Mexico, volume-related increases in Consumer Assets, and increased legal costs in Mexico. International Retail Banking operating expenses increased $82 million or 12%, mainly reflecting the impact of foreign currency translation, volume-related increases, and higher advertising and marketing costs, partially offset by the absence of prior-year repositioning costs, mainly in EMEA and Latin America.
The provisions for benefits, claims and credit losses were $188 million in the 2004 first quarter, down from $283 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to improvements in the North America Commercial Markets portfolio. Net credit losses (excluding commercial markets) were $155 million and the related loss ratio was 0.49% in the 2004 first quarter, compared to $119 million and 0.39% in the 2003 fourth quarter and $120 million and 0.42% in the prior-year quarter. The increase in the net credit loss ratio (excluding commercial markets) in the 2004 first quarter was primarily driven by an increase in Germany that was partially offset by improvements in Mexico and Asia. Commercial Markets net credit losses were $50 million and the related loss ratio was 0.51% in the 2004 first quarter, compared to $94 million and 0.93% in the 2003 fourth quarter and $179 million and 1.65% in the prior-year quarter. The improvement in Commercial Markets net credit losses in the 2004 first quarter was due to declines in CitiCapital, Citibanking North America and Mexico.
Loans delinquent 90 days or more (excluding Commercial Markets) were $3.698 billion or 2.86% of loans at March 31, 2004, compared to $3.802 billion or 3.07% at December 31, 2003, and $3.644 billion or 3.18% a year ago. Compared to a year ago, the increase in delinquent loans was primarily due to an increase in Germany, including the impact of foreign currency translation, and was partially offset by declines in Consumer Assets and Asia (primarily in Taiwan). The decline in Consumer Assets mainly reflected a lower level of buybacks from GNMA pools where credit risk is maintained by government agencies.
Cash-basis loans in Commercial Markets were $1.213 billion or 3.11% of loans at March 31, 2004, compared to $1.350 billion or 3.38% at December 31, 2003 and $1.250 billion or 2.88% a year ago. The decrease in cash-basis loans from the prior year mainly reflected improvements in Mexico and Citibanking North America and was partially offset by an increase in CitiCapital.

Capital Markets and Banking net income of $923 million in the 2004 first quarter increased $182 million or 25% compared to the 2003 first quarter, primarily due to the absence of prior-year mark-to-market losses on credit derivative hedges (which serve as an economic hedge for the loan portfolio), increases in derivatives trading and a lower provision for credit losses.
Transaction Services net income of $234 million in the 2004 first quarter increased $43 million or 23% from the 2003 first quarter primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses, higher assets under custody and liability balances and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by lower spreads and higher expenses.
The businesses of GCIB are significantly affected by the levels of activity in the global capital markets which, in turn, are influenced by macro-economic and political policies and developments, among other factors, in approximately 100 countries in which the businesses operate. Global economic and market events can have both positive and negative effects on the revenue performance of the businesses and can affect credit performance.

Fixed Income trading increased primarily due to higher interest rate and mortgage trading.
Operating expenses of $734 million in the 2004 first quarter decreased $85 million or 10% from the 2003 first quarter primarily due to lower compensation and benefits expense (primarily reflecting lower incentive compensation accrual).
The provision for credit losses of ($26) million in the 2004 first quarter includes a release of $128 million resulting from improved credit quality in the corporate loan portfolio in the following regions: $86 million in Latin America, $29 million in North America, $8 million in Asia, and $5 million in EMEA.

Operating expenses of $658 million in the 2004 first quarter increased $33 million or 5% from the 2003 first quarter, primarily due to the acquisition of new businesses including Forum Financial, as well as increased compensation and benefits costs.
The provision for credit losses of ($34) million in the 2004 first quarter decreased $43 million from the 2003 first quarter, primarily due to general reserve releases of $22 million reflecting improved credit trends and prior-year write-offs in Latin America. Taxes of $80 million in the 2004 first quarter increased $1 million from 2003 first quarter, while pre-tax income of $315 million in the 2004 first quarter increased $45 million from the prior-year period reflecting a lower effective tax rate in the current period.
Cash-basis loans, which are primarily trade finance receivables, in the Transaction Services business were $102 million, $156 million, and $539 million at March 31, 2004, December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2003, respectively. Cash-basis loans decreased $437 million from March 31, 2003, primarily due to a reclassification of cash-basis loans ($248 million) in Mexico from Transaction Services to Capital Markets and Banking, along with charge-offs in Argentina and Poland. The decrease of $54 million from December 31, 2003 was primarily due to reductions in cash basis loans in Latin America.

Private Bank net income of $159 million in the 2004 first quarter was up $34 million or 27% from the 2003 first quarter primarily reflecting increased investment management and capital markets activity, and increased lending and banking activities, partially offset by increased incentive compensation associated with higher revenues, increased salary and benefits costs, and the impact of a narrowing net interest margin. Asset Management net income of $33 million in the 2004 first quarter was up $18 million from the 2003 first quarter, primarily reflecting the absence of prior-year insurance costs on fees earned in a Latin America Retirement Services (LARS) business and lower capital funding costs in Mexico.

Life Insurance and Annuities reported net income of $37 million in the 2004 first quarter, a $16 million or 76% increase from $21 million in the prior-year period. The $16 million increase reflects a $13 million increase in IIM, primarily resulting from a partial recovery in the value of Argentine GPNs, lower capital funding costs in Mexico, and business volume growth in Japan.
Revenues, net of interest expense, of $226 million increased $47 million or 26% in the 2004 first quarter, primarily driven by higher business volumes in Asia, EMEA and Japan, as well as lower capital funding costs in Mexico. Operating expenses of $84 million increased $26 million or 45% in the 2004 first quarter, reflecting the higher business volumes in EMEA and Asia.

International Insurance Manufacturing
The majority of the annuity business and a substantial portion of the life business written by IIM are accounted for as investment contracts, such that the premiums are considered deposits and are not included in revenues. Combined net written premiums and deposits is a non-GAAP financial measure which management uses to measure business volumes, and may not be comparable to similarly captioned measurements used by other life insurance companies.
The following table shows combined net written premiums and deposits, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, by product line for the three-month periods ended March 31:

IIM annuity product net written premiums and deposits increased $1.3 billion in the 2004 first quarter to $1.6 billion from $365 million in the 2003 first quarter. The increase was driven by strong variable annuity sales in Japan through the Company's joint venture with Mitsui Sumitomo.
IIM life products net written premiums and deposits were $336 million in the 2004 first quarter, an increase of $238 million from $98 million in the 2003 first quarter, primarily driven by a $168 million increase in variable universal life sales in Mexico.
In Argentina, the restructuring of customer annuity liabilities was approved by the Argentine Ministry of Insurance on July 3, 2003. An insurance subsidiary of the Company offered the plan to its voluntary annuity holders. The election period expired on January 31, 2004, at which time 70% of the voluntary annuity customers elected to participate. During the 2003 fourth quarter, the Company contributed $55 million of new capital to its Argentine Global Investment Management companies, primarily to fund the voluntary annuity restructuring plan. Additional capital totaling $45 million was contributed during the 2004 first quarter to maintain required regulatory capital and to fund ongoing operating expenses.

Private Bank reported net income of $159 million in the 2004 first quarter, up $34 million or 27% from the 2003 first quarter, primarily reflecting increased investment management and capital markets activity, and increased lending and banking activities, partially offset by increased incentive compensation associated with higher revenues, increased salary and benefit costs associated with an investment in increased front-end staff, and the impact of a narrowing net interest margin. Investment management and capital markets activity includes client trading, management, performance and placement fees, and investment products fees.
Client business volumes under management, which include custody accounts, assets under fee-based management, deposits and loans, were $202 billion as of March 31, 2004, up 17% from $172 billion as of March 31, 2003, reflecting increases in other (principally custody) accounts of $15 billion, banking and fiduciary deposits of $6 billion, assets under fee based management of $5 billion, and loans of $4 billion. Regionally, the increase reflects continued growth in EMEA (primarily in Europe), Asia, North America (including Mexico), Japan and Latin America. The regional disclosures contained in this Private Bank discussion are aligned with the Citicorp management structure and therefore the business in Mexico is reflected in the results of North America and is excluded from Latin America.

Revenues, net of interest expense, were $573 million in the 2004 first quarter, up $113 million or 25% from the 2003 first quarter, primarily driven by revenue increases from investment management and capital markets activity, and increases in lending and banking activities, partially offset by the impact of a narrowing net interest margin. The 2004 increase also reflects an increase in North America (including Mexico) of $11 million or 5% from the prior-year period, primarily in banking and lending activity. International revenues increased $102 million or 41% from the prior-year period, primarily due to growth in Asia of $46 million or 53% (client trading), in Japan of $23 million or 38% (client trading), in EMEA of $22 million or 39% (client trading and management and placement fees), and in Latin America of $11 million or 24% (client trading, placement and management fees).
Operating expenses of $339 million in the 2004 first quarter were up $64 million or 23% from the 2003 first quarter, primarily reflecting increased incentive compensation associated with higher revenues, and increased salary and benefit costs associated with an investment in increased front end staff. The increased expenses in North America (including Mexico) reflect the increased revenues in the region, with expenses up $11 million or 12%, driven by higher incentive compensation. International expenses increased $53 million or 29% from the 2003 first quarter, primarily due to higher employee-related costs, including incentive compensation, in Asia, Latin America and Japan. The $53 million increase in operating expenses internationally was driven by increases in Asia of $31 million or 62%, in Japan of $10 million or 29% and in Latin America of $10 million or 28%.
The provision for credit losses was $4 million in the 2004 first quarter, unchanged from the 2003 first quarter. Net credit losses in the 2004 first quarter remained at a nominal level of 0.04% of average loans outstanding, compared with 0.03% in the 2003 first quarter. Loans 90 days or more past due as of March 31, 2004 were $155 million or 0.43% of total loans outstanding, compared with $157 million or 0.49% at March 31, 2003.
Average assets of $41 billion in the 2004 first quarter increased $7 billion or 21% from $34 billion in the 2003 first quarter. The increase from the prior-year period was primarily related to increased lending activity (higher margin lending and mortgage financing and re-financing) and the consolidation of a previously unconsolidated entity due to changes in the contractual relationship with this entity.

Assets under management for the 2004 first quarter were $172 billion, an increase of $7 billion or 4% from the 2003 first quarter.
Revenues, net of interest expense, increased $47 million or 42% from the prior-year period to $159 million in the 2004 first quarter, resulting from an increase related to certain assets consolidated under FIN 46-R, the absence of prior-year insurance costs on fees earned in a LARS business and increases in Mexico due to lower capital funding costs. The assets consolidated under FIN 46-R (which are denominated in euro) generated $10 million of gains (offset in minority interest) due to foreign currency translation.
Operating expenses of $108 million in the 2004 first quarter were down $1 million or 1% from the 2003 first quarter, primarily reflecting continued expense management.
Minority interest, after tax, of $6 million in the 2004 first quarter was due to the impact of consolidating certain assets under FIN 46-R.

Proprietary Investment Activities reported revenues, net of interest expense, of $132 million in the 2004 first quarter, which increased $43 million or 48% from the 2003 first quarter, reflecting higher Other Investment Activities revenues of $31 million, primarily related to hedge fund investments and higher Private Equity revenues of $12 million. Operating expenses of $56 million in the 2004 first quarter increased $3 million from the 2003 first quarter primarily reflecting increased expenses in CAI and hedge funds resulting from business growth, partially offset by lower expenses in Private Equity. Minority interest, after-tax, of $36 million in the 2004 first quarter increased $28 million from the 2003 first quarter due to a mark-to-market valuation on the recapitalization of investments held within the Emerging Markets private equity portfolio and stronger performance in hedge funds.
See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on investments in fixed maturity and equity securities.
The following sections contain information concerning revenues, net of interest expense, for the two main investment classifications of Proprietary Investment Activities:
Private Equity includes equity and mezzanine debt financing on both a direct and indirect basis, including investments made by CVC Equity Partners Fund, to companies primarily located in the United States and Western Europe, investments in companies located in developing economies with a private equity focus, the investment portfolio related to the Banamex acquisition in August 2001, and CVC/Opportunity Equity Partners, LP (Opportunity). Opportunity is a third-party managed fund through which Citicorp co-invests in companies that were privatized by the government of Brazil in the mid-1990s. The remaining investments in the Banamex portfolio were liquidated during 2003.
Certain private equity investments held in investment company subsidiaries and Opportunity are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in income. Direct investments in companies located in developing economies are principally carried at cost with impairments recognized in income for "other than temporary" declines in value.
As of March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, Private Equity included assets of $5.103 billion and $5.886 billion, respectively, with the portfolio primarily invested in industrial, consumer goods, communication and technology companies. The decline in the portfolio of $783 million relates to sales of U.S. private and public equity investments, the impact of valuation adjustments, and the liquidation of the Banamex portfolio.

Revenues, net of interest expense | $ | 76 | $ | 64 | |||
Revenues, net of interest expense, of $76 million in the 2004 first quarter increased $12 million from the 2003 first quarter primarily resulting from higher net impairment/valuation revenues of $98 million and higher other revenues of $38 million resulting from increased dividends and fees and lower funding costs, partially offset by higher net mark-to-market losses on public securities of $117 million and lower net realized gains on sales of investments of $7 million. The higher net mark-to-market losses on public securities in the 2004 first quarter was primarily driven by higher net mark-to-market losses on an investment in an Indian software company, reflecting a general decline in the Indian software market.
21
Other Investment Activities includes CAI, various proprietary investments, including certain hedge fund investments and the LDC Debt/Refinancing portfolios. The LDC Debt/Refinancing portfolios include investments in certain countries that refinanced debt under the 1989 Brady Plan or plans of a similar nature and earnings are generally derived from interest and restructuring gains/losses.
Other Investment Activities investments are primarily carried at fair value, with impairment write-downs recognized in income for "other than temporary" declines in value. As of March 31, 2004, Other Investment Activities included assets of $1.510 billion, including $1.081 billion in hedge funds, the majority of which represents money managed for third-party customers, $326 million in the LDC Debt/ Refinancing portfolios, and $103 million in other assets. As of March 31, 2003, total assets of Other Investment Activities were $1.537 billion, including, $885 million in hedge funds, $520 million in the LDC Debt/Refinancing portfolios and $132 million in other assets.

Corporate/Other reported net income of $95 million in the 2004 first quarter, an increase of $74 million from the 2003 first quarter. The increase was primarily attributed to the sale of EFS, which resulted in an after-tax gain of $180 million in the 2004 first quarter, partially offset by lower treasury results.
Revenues, net of interest expense, of $389 million in the 2004 first quarter, increased $47 million from the 2003 first quarter primarily driven by the EFS gain, partially offset by lower treasury results and lower intersegment eliminations. The decreased treasury revenues predominantly related to increased funding costs associated with higher debt levels partially offset by higher earnings on intercompany placements.
Operating expenses of $206 million in the 2004 first quarter decreased $53 million from the 2003 first quarter primarily due to the absence of the prior-year operating expenses in EFS.

MANAGING GLOBAL RISK
The Company's Global Risk Management process is consolidated within Citigroup's Global Risk Management process as summarized below and as described in more detail in Citigroup's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the section titled "Managing Global Risk."
The Citigroup risk management framework recognizes the diversity of Citigroup's global business activities by balancing strong corporate oversight with well-defined independent risk management functions within each business.
The risk management framework is grounded on the following principles, which apply universally across all businesses and all risk types:
The Citigroup Senior Risk Officer is responsible for establishing standards for the measurement, approval, reporting and limiting of risk, for managing, evaluating, and compensating the senior independent risk managers at the business level, for approving business-level risk management policies, for approving business risk-taking authority through the allocation of limits and capital, and for reviewing, on an ongoing basis, major risk exposures and concentrations across the organization. Risks are regularly reviewed with the independent business-level risk managers, the Citigroup senior business managers, and, as appropriate, the Citigroup Board of Directors.
The independent risk managers at the business level are responsible for establishing and implementing risk management policies and practices within their business, while ensuring consistency with Citigroup standards. As noted above, the independent risk managers report directly to the Citigroup Senior Risk Officer, however they remain accountable, on a day-to-day basis, for appropriately meeting and responding to the needs and issues of their business unit, and for overseeing the risks present.
The following sections summarize the processes for managing credit, market, operational and country risks within Citicorp's major businesses.
24
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Credit risk is the potential for financial loss resulting from the failure of a borrower or counterparty to honor its financial or contractual obligations. Credit risk arises in many of the Company's business activities including lending activities, sales and trading activities, derivatives activities, securities transactions, settlement activities, and when the Company acts as an intermediary on behalf of its clients and other third parties. The credit risk management process at Citigroup relies on corporate-wide standards to ensure consistency and integrity, with business-specific policies and practices to ensure applicability and ownership.

CONSUMER PORTFOLIO REVIEW
In the consumer portfolio, credit loss experience is often expressed in terms of annualized net credit losses as a percentage of average loans. Pricing and credit policies reflect the loss experience of each particular product and country. Consumer loans are generally written off no later than a predetermined number of days past due on a contractual basis, or earlier in the event of bankruptcy. The specific write-off criteria is set according to loan product and country.
Commercial Markets, which is included within Retail Banking, includes loans and leases made principally to small- and middle-market businesses. Commercial Markets loans are placed on a non-accrual basis when it is determined that the payment of interest or principal is doubtful of collection or when interest or principal is past due for 90 days or more, except when the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Commercial Markets non-accrual loans are not strictly determined on a delinquency basis; therefore, they have been presented as a separate component in the consumer credit disclosures.
The following table summarizes delinquency and net credit loss experience in both the managed and on-balance sheet loan portfolios in terms of loans 90 days or more past due, net credit losses, and as a percentage of related loans. The table also summarizes the accrual status of Commercial Markets loans as a percentage of related loans. The managed loan portfolio includes credit card receivables held-for-sale and securitized, and the table reconciles to a held basis, the comparable GAAP measure. Only North America Cards from a product view and North America from a regional view are impacted. Although a managed basis presentation is not in conformity with GAAP, the Company believes it provides a representation of performance and key indicators of the credit card business that is consistent with the way management reviews operating performance and allocates resources. Furthermore, investors utilize information about the credit quality of the entire managed portfolio, as the results of both the held and securitized portfolios impact the overall performance of the Cards business. For a further discussion of managed basis reporting, see the Cards business on page 10 and Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total delinquencies 90 days or more past due (excluding Commercial Markets) in the managed portfolio were $9.132 billion or 2.19% of loans at March 31, 2004, compared to $9.536 billion or 2.31% at December 31, 2003 and $8.390 billion or 2.31% at March 31, 2003. Total cash-basis loans in Commercial Markets were $1.213 billion or 3.11% of loans at March 31, 2004, compared to $1.350 billion or 3.38% at December 31, 2003 and $1.250 billion or 2.88% at March 31, 2003. Total managed net credit losses (excluding Commercial Markets) in the 2004 first quarter were $3.582 billion and the related loss ratio was 3.47%, compared to $3.180 billion and 3.20% in the 2003 fourth quarter and $2.809 billion and 3.14% in the 2003 first quarter. In Commercial Markets, total net credit losses were $50 million and the related loss ratio was 0.51% in the 2004 first quarter, compared to $94 million and 0.93% in the 2003 fourth quarter and $179 million and 1.65% in the 2003 first quarter. For a discussion of trends by business, see business discussions on pages 10 to 15 and pages 19 to 20.
Citicorp's total allowance for loans, losses and corporate lending commitments of $13.106 billion is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire portfolio. For analytical purposes only, the portion of Citicorp's allowance for credit losses attributed to the consumer portfolio was $9.218 billion at March 31, 2004, $9.088 billion at December 31, 2003 and $7.070 billion at March 31, 2003. The increase in the allowance for credit losses from March 31, 2003 was primarily due to additions of $2.1 billion and $148 million associated with the acquisitions of Sears and WMF, respectively, as well as the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by the write-down of Argentine compensation notes in the 2003 third quarter.
On-balance sheet consumer loans of $379.8 billion increased $48.0 billion or 14% from March 31, 2003, primarily driven by the additions of the Sears, Home Depot and WMF portfolios, combined with growth in mortgage and other real-estate secured loans in Consumer Assets, Consumer Finance and Private Bank and the impact of strengthening currencies. Growth in student loans in North America and margin lending in Private Bank also contributed to the growth in consumer loans. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, growth in credit card receivables was partially offset by a decline in introductory promotional rate balances reflecting a shift in acquisition marketing strategies, higher securitization levels and the sale of $1.7 billion of non-strategic portfolios in the 2003 second quarter. In CitiCapital, loans declined $5.1 billion reflecting the continued liquidation of non-core portfolios including a reduction of approximately $1.2 billion resulting from the 2003 third quarter sale of the CitiCapital Fleet Services portfolio.
Net credit losses, delinquencies and the related ratios are affected by the credit performance of the portfolios, including bankruptcies, unemployment, global economic conditions, portfolio growth and seasonal factors, as well as macro-economic and regulatory policies.

Corporate loans are identified as impaired and placed on a nonaccrual basis when it is determined that the payment of interest or principal is doubtful of collection or when interest or principal is past due for 90 days or more, except when the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Impaired corporate loans are written down to the extent that principal is judged to be uncollectible. Impaired collateral-dependent loans are written down to the lower of cost or collateral value, less disposal costs.
The following table summarizes corporate cash-basis loans and net credit losses:

Corporate cash-basis loans were $2.908 billion, $3.402 billion and $4.059 billion at March 31, 2004, December 31, 2003, and March 31, 2003, respectively. Cash-basis loans decreased $1.151 billion from March 31, 2003 due to decreases in Capital Markets and Banking and Transaction Services. Capital Markets and Banking primarily reflects decreases to borrowers in the telecommunications and power and energy industries and charge-offs against reserves as well as paydowns on corporate borrowers in Argentina, Mexico, Hong Kong, and New Zealand. Transaction Services decreased primarily due to decreases in a reclassification of cash-basis loans along with charge-offs in Argentina and Poland. Cash-basis loans decreased $494 million from December 31, 2003 due to decreases in Capital Markets and Banking and Transaction Services. Capital Markets and Banking decreased primarily due to charge-offs taken against reserves and paydowns from borrowers in the power and energy industry.
Total corporate Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) was $41 million, $59 million and $59 million at March 31, 2004, December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2003, respectively.
Total corporate loans outstanding at March 31, 2004 were $101 billion as compared to $99 billion at December 31, 2003 and $105 billion at March 31, 2003.
Total corporate net credit losses of $178 million at March 31, 2004 decreased $247 million compared to December 31, 2003 primarily reflecting recoveries as well as lower net credit losses from counterparties in Europe.
The allowance for credit losses is established by management based upon estimates of probable losses inherent in the portfolio. This evaluative process includes the utilization of statistical models to analyze such factors as default rates, both historic and projected, geographic and industry concentrations and environmental factors. Larger non-homogeneous credits are evaluated on an individual loan basis examining such factors as the borrower's financial strength and payment history, the financial stability of any guarantors and, for secured loans, the realizable value of any collateral. Additional reserves are established to provide for imprecision caused by the use of historical and projected loss data. Judgmental assessments are used to determine residual losses on the leasing portfolio.
Citicorp's allowance for credit losses for loans, leases, and unfunded lending commitments of $13.106 billion is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire portfolio. For analytical purposes only, the portion of Citicorp's allowance for credit losses attributed to the corporate portfolio was $3.888 billion at March 31, 2004, compared to $4.155 billion at December 31, 2003 and $4.546 billion at March 31, 2003. The allowance attributed to corporate loans, leases and unfunded lending commitments as a percentage of corporate loans was 3.84% at March 31, 2004, as compared to 4.20% and 4.33% at December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2003, respectively. The $658 million decrease in total corporate reserves for the 12 months ending March 31, 2004 primarily reflects write-offs against previously-established reserves in the telecommunications and power and energy industries and reserve releases of $450 million due to improving credit quality in the portfolio. The $267 million decrease in the total corporate allowance from the 2003 fourth quarter primarily reflects a $150 million reserve release geographically attributed to Argentina ($50 million), Latin
30
America ($46 million), North America ($37 million), Asia, excluding Japan ($10 million), and EMEA ($7 million). The $150 million reserve release was primarily due to an improving credit environment as evidenced by a decline in the estimates of probable losses inherent in the portfolio and declines in classified and cash-basis loans. Losses on corporate lending activities and the level of cash-basis loans can vary widely with respect to timing and amount, particularly within any narrowly-defined business or loan type. Corporate net credit losses and cash-basis loans are expected to improve from 2003 reflecting improving global economic conditions. This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 42.
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Market risk at Citicorplike credit riskis managed through corporate-wide standards and business policies and procedures. Market risks are measured in accordance with established standards to ensure consistency across businesses and the ability to aggregate like risks at the Citigroup-level. Each business is required to establish, and have approved by independent market risk management, a market risk limit framework, including risk measures, limits and controls, that clearly defines approved risk profiles and is within the parameters of Citigroup's overall risk appetite.
Additional information on Market Risk can be found in Citicorp's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from external events. It includes reputation and franchise risks associated with business practices or market conduct that the Company may undertake with respect to activities in a fiduciary role, as principal as well as agent, or through a special-purpose vehicle.
The Citigroup Operational Risk Policy codifies the core governing principles for operational risk management and provides the framework to identify, control, monitor, measure, and report operational risks in a consistent manner across the Company.
Risk and Control Self-Assessment
The Company's Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) incorporates standards for risk and control self-assessment that are applicable to all businesses and establish RCSA as the process whereby risks that are inherent in a business' strategy, objectives, and activities are identified and the effectiveness of the controls over those risks are evaluated and monitored. The Company's RCSA is based on principles of The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, which have been adopted as the minimum standards for all internal control reviews that comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA) or operational risk requirements. The policy requires, on a quarterly basis, businesses and staff functions to perform an RCSA that includes documentation of the control environment and policies, assessing the risks and controls, testing commensurate with risk level, corrective action tracking for control breakdowns or deficiencies and periodic reporting, including reporting to senior management and Citigroup's Audit and Risk Management Committee. The entire process is subject to audit by Citigroup's Audit and Risk Review with reporting to the Audit and Risk Management Committee of Citigroup's Board of Directors.
Information Security and Continuity of Business
Citigroup formed an Executive Council of senior business managers to oversee information security and continuity of business policy and implementation. These are important issues for the Company and the entire industry in light of the risk environment. Significant upgrades to the Company's processes are continuing.
The Company's Information Security Program complies with the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act and other regulatory guidance. The Citigroup Information Security Office conducted an end-to-end review of company-wide risk management processes for mitigating, monitoring, and responding to information security risk.
Citigroup mitigates business continuity risks by its long-standing practice of annual testing and review of recovery procedures by business units. The Citigroup Office of Business Continuity and the Global Continuity of Business Committee oversee this broad program area. Together, these groups issued a corporate-wide Continuity of Business policy effective January 2003 to improve consistency in contingency planning standards across the Company.

COUNTRY AND CROSS-BORDER RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Country Risk
The Citigroup Country Risk Committee is chaired by senior international business management, and includes as its members business managers and independent risk managers from around the world. The committee's primary objective is to strengthen the management of country risk, defined as the total risk to the Company of an event that impacts a country. The committee regularly reviews all risk exposures within a country, makes recommendations as to actions, and follows up to ensure appropriate accountability.
Cross-Border Risk
The Company's cross-border outstandings reflect various economic and political risks, including those arising from restrictions on the transfer of funds as well as the inability to obtain payment from customers on their contractual obligations as a result of actions taken by foreign governments such as exchange controls, debt moratorium, and restrictions on the remittance of funds.
Management oversight of cross-border risk is performed through a formal country risk review process that includes setting of cross-border limits, at least annually, in each country in which Citigroup has cross-border exposure, monitoring of economic conditions globally and within individual countries with proactive action as warranted, and the establishment of internal risk management policies. Under Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) guidelines, total cross-border outstandings include cross-border claims on third parties as well as investments in and funding of local franchises. Cross-border claims on third parties (trade, short-term, and medium- and long-term claims) include cross-border loans, securities, deposits with banks, investments in affiliates, and other monetary assets, as well as net revaluation gains on foreign exchange and derivative products.
The cross-border outstandings are reported by assigning externally guaranteed outstandings to the country of the guarantor and outstandings for which tangible, liquid collateral is held outside of the obligor's country to the country in which the collateral is held. For securities received as collateral, outstandings are assigned to the domicile of the issuer of the securities.
Investments in and funding of local franchises represent the excess of local country assets over local country liabilities. Local country assets are claims on local residents recorded by branches and majority-owned subsidiaries of Citicorp domiciled in the country, adjusted for externally guaranteed outstandings and certain collateral. Local country liabilities are obligations of branches and majority-owned subsidiaries of Citicorp domiciled in the country, for which no cross-border guarantee is issued by Citigroup offices outside the country.
The table below shows all countries where total FFIEC cross-border outstandings exceed 0.75% of total Citicorp assets:

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Citicorp's capital management framework is designed to ensure the capital position and ratios of Citicorp and its subsidiaries are consistent with the Company's risk profile, all applicable regulatory standards or guidelines, and external ratings considerations. The capital management process embodies centralized senior management oversight and ongoing review at the entity and country level as applicable.
The capital plans, forecasts, and positions of Citicorp and its principal subsidiaries are reviewed by, and subject to oversight of, Citigroup's Finance and Capital Committee. Current members of this committee include Citicorp's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Senior Risk Officer, and several other senior officers of Citicorp and Citigroup.
The Finance and Capital Committee's capital management responsibilities include: determination of the overall financial structure of Citigroup and its principal subsidiaries, including debt/equity ratios and asset growth guidelines; ensuring appropriate actions are taken to maintain capital adequacy for Citigroup and its regulated entities; determination and monitoring of hedging of capital and foreign exchange translation risk associated with non-dollar earnings; and review and recommendation of Citigroup share repurchase levels and dividends on common and preferred stock. The Finance and Capital Committee establishes applicable capital targets for Citigroup on a consolidated basis and for significant subsidiaries, including Citicorp. These targets exceed applicable regulatory standards.
Citicorp is subject to risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). These guidelines are used to evaluate capital adequacy based primarily on the perceived credit risk associated with balance sheet assets, as well as certain off-balance sheet exposures such as unfunded loan commitments, letters of credit, and derivative and foreign exchange contracts. The risk-based capital guidelines are supplemented by a leverage ratio requirement. To be "well-capitalized" under federal bank regulatory agency definitions, a bank holding company must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratio of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of at least 3%, and not be subject to a directive, order, or written agreement to meet and maintain specific capital levels.
As noted in the table below, Citicorp maintained a well-capitalized position during the first quarter of 2004 and the full year of 2003.

The increase of $4.2 billion in stockholder's equity during the quarter primarily reflects net income of $3.9 billion, the after-tax net change in equity from nonowner sources of $0.2 billion and $0.1 billion related to employee benefit plans and other activity. The increase in the common stockholder's equity ratio during the first three months of 2004 reflected the above items and the 4% increase in total assets.
Total mandatorily redeemable securities of subsidiary trusts (trust preferred securities), which qualify as Tier 1 capital, at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were $853 million and $840 million, respectively. During the 2004 first quarter, the Company deconsolidated the subsidiary issuer trusts in accordance with FIN 46-R. The FRB has issued interim guidance that continues to recognize trust preferred securities as a component of Tier 1 capital. On May 6, 2004, the FRB issued a proposed rule that would retain trust preferred securities in the Tier 1 capital of bank holding companies (BHCs), subject to conditions. See "Regulatory Capital and Accounting Standards Developments" on page 35. If Tier 2 capital treatment had been required at March 31, 2004, Citicorp would have continued to be "well-capitalized."
Citicorp's subsidiary depository institutions in the United States are subject to risk-based capital guidelines issued by their respective primary federal bank regulatory agencies, which are similar to the FRB's guidelines. To be "well-capitalized" under federal bank regulatory agency definitions, Citicorp's depository institutions must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratio of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%, and not be subject to a directive, order, or written agreement to meet and maintain specific capital levels. At March 31, 2004, all of Citicorp's subsidiary depository institutions were "well-capitalized" under the federal regulatory agencies' definitions.

Regulatory Capital and Accounting Standards Developments
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the Basel Committee), consisting of central banks and bank supervisors from 13 countries, is developing a new set of risk-based capital standards (the New Accord), on which it has received significant input from Citigroup and other major banking organizations. In a press release dated January 15, 2004, the Basel Committee announced that it would make further refinements to certain critical components of Pillar 1 of the New Accord, including the rules for recognizing credit risk mitigation techniques. The Basel Committee subsequently published changes for the capital treatment of expected and unexpected credit losses, the treatment of securitization-related exposures, and principles for the cross-border implementation of the advanced measurement approaches (AMA) for operational risk requirements. The Basel Committee also clarified the implementation of the supervisory review of capital adequacy (Pillar 2 of the New Accord). After a meeting held on May 11, 2004, the Basel Committee announced that it had achieved consensus on the remaining issues regarding the New Accord, including the treatment of retail credit exposures. The Basel Committee decided to add an additional year of impact analysis and parallel testing for banks adopting the advanced approaches, with implementation extended until year-end 2007. The Basel Committee intends to publish the text of the New Accord at the end of June 2004. The U.S. banking regulators issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking in August 2003 to address issues in advance of publishing their proposed rules incorporating the new Basel standards. The final version of these rules will apply to Citigroup and other large U.S. banks and BHCs. Citigroup and Citicorp are assessing the impact of the proposed new capital standards, while continuing to participate in efforts to refine the standards and monitor the progress of the Basel initiative.
In January 2003, FASB issued accounting guidance in FIN 46 (which was subsequently revised in December 2003) which requires the consolidation of certain types of special-purpose vehicles that previously were recorded as off-balance sheet exposures. Although FASB deferred the effective date of FIN 46 until periods ending after December 15, 2003, Citicorp elected to implement the provisions of FIN 46 as of July 1, 2003, with the exception of the deferral related to certain investment company subsidiaries. FIN 46-R was adopted in the 2004 first quarter. The impact of both these implementations was not material to the capital ratios of Citicorp. On September 12, 2003, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule and a notice of proposed rulemaking concerning how this new requirement will be incorporated into the risk-based capital framework. The interim final rule was to be effective only for reporting periods ending September 30, 2003, December 31, 2003, and March 31, 2004. On April 26, 2004, the federal bank regulatory agencies extended the interim rule through the June 30, 2004 reporting period. The impact of adopting the interim rule did not have a material impact on the capital ratios of Citicorp.
On May 6, 2004, the FRB issued a proposed rule that would retain trust preferred securities in the Tier 1 capital of BHCs, but with stricter quantitative limits and clearer qualitative standards. Under the proposal, after a three-year transition period, the aggregate amount of trust preferred securities and certain other capital elements would be limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill. The amount of trust preferred securities and certain other elements in excess of the limit could be included in Tier 2 capital, subject to restrictions. Internationally-active BHCs would generally be expected to limit trust preferred securities and certain other capital elements to 15% of Tier 1 capital elements, net of goodwill. Based on all limits set in the proposal, Citicorp would be able to retain the trust preferred securities within Tier 1 capital.
Additionally, from time to time, the FRB and the FFIEC propose amendments to, and issue interpretations of, risk-based capital guidelines and reporting instructions. Such proposals or interpretations could, if implemented in the future, affect reported capital ratios and net risk-adjusted assets. This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 42.

LIQUIDITY
Management of Liquidity
Citicorp's liquidity risk management process is consolidated within Citigroup's liquidity risk management process as described below. Management of liquidity at Citigroup is the responsibility of the Corporate Treasurer. A uniform liquidity risk management policy exists for Citigroup and its major operating subsidiaries. Under this policy, there is a single set of standards for the measurement of liquidity risk in order to ensure consistency across businesses, stability in methodologies and transparency of risk. Management of liquidity at each operating subsidiary and/or country is performed on a daily basis and is monitored by Corporate Treasury.
A primary tenet of Citigroup's liquidity management is strong decentralized liquidity management at each of its principal operating subsidiaries and in each of its countries, combined with an active corporate oversight function. Along with the role of the Corporate Treasurer, the Global Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) undertakes this oversight responsibility. The Global ALCO functions as an oversight forum composed of Citigroup's Chief Financial Officer, Senior Risk Officer, Corporate Treasurer, independent Senior Treasury Risk Officer, Head of Risk Architecture and the senior corporate and business treasurers and business chief financial officers. One of the objectives of the Global ALCO is to monitor and review the overall liquidity and balance sheet positions of Citigroup and its principal subsidiaries, including Citicorp, and to address corporate-wide policies and make recommendations back to senior management and the business units. Similarly, ALCOs are also established for each country and/or major line of business.
Each principal operating subsidiary and/or country must prepare an annual funding and liquidity plan for review by the Corporate Treasurer and approval by the independent Senior Treasury Risk Officer. The funding and liquidity plan includes analysis of the balance sheet as well as the economic and business conditions impacting the liquidity of the major operating subsidiary and/or country. As part of the funding and liquidity plan, liquidity limits, liquidity ratios, market triggers, and assumptions for periodic stress tests are established and approved.
Liquidity limits establish boundaries for potential market access in business-as-usual conditions and are monitored against the liquidity position on a daily basis. These limits are established based on the size of the balance sheet, depth of the market, experience level of local management, stability of the liabilities, and liquidity of the assets. Finally, the limits are subject to the evaluation of the entities' stress test results. Generally, limits are established such that in stress scenarios, entities need to be self-funded or net providers of liquidity.
A series of standard corporate-wide liquidity ratios have been established to monitor the structural elements of Citigroup's liquidity. For bank entities these include measures of long-term liabilities and capital against illiquid assets"cash capital", liquid assets against liquidity gaps, core deposits to loans, long-term assets to long-term liabilities and deposits to loans. Several measures exist to review potential concentrations of funding by individual name, product, industry, or geography. Triggers to elicit management discussion, which may result in other actions, have been established against these ratios. In addition, each individual major operating subsidiary or country establishes targets against these ratios and may monitor other ratios as approved in its funding and liquidity plan.
Market triggers are internal or external market or economic factors that may imply a change to market liquidity or Citigroup's access to the markets. Citigroup market triggers are monitored by the Corporate Treasurer and the independent Senior Treasury Risk Officer and are discussed with the Global ALCO. Appropriate market triggers are also established and monitored for each major operating subsidiary and/or country as part of the funding and liquidity plans. Local triggers are reviewed with the local country or business ALCO and independent risk management.
Simulated liquidity stress testing is periodically performed for each major operating subsidiary and/or country. The scenarios include assumptions about significant changes in key funding sources, credit ratings, contingent uses of funding, and political and economic conditions in certain countries. The results of stress tests of individual countries and operating subsidiaries are reviewed to ensure that each individual major operating subsidiary or country is either self-funded or a net provider of liquidity. In addition, a Contingency Funding Plan is prepared on a periodic basis for Citigroup. The plan includes detailed policies, procedures, roles and responsibilities, and the results of corporate stress tests. The product of these stress tests is a menu of alternatives that can be utilized by the Corporate Treasurer in a liquidity event.
On a combined basis at the holding company level, Citigroup and Citicorp maintain sufficient liquidity to meet all maturing unsecured debt obligations due within a one-year time horizon without incremental access to the unsecured markets. In aggregate, bank subsidiaries maintain "cash capital," defined as core deposits, long-term liabilities, and capital, in excess of their illiquid assets.
36
As a financial holding company, substantially all of Citicorp's net earnings are generated within its operating subsidiaries. These subsidiaries make funds available to Citicorp, primarily in the form of dividends. Certain subsidiaries' dividend paying abilities may be limited by covenant restrictions in credit agreements, regulatory requirements and/or rating agency requirements that also impact their capitalization levels.
Citicorp is a legal entity separate and distinct from Citibank, N.A. and its other subsidiaries and affiliates. There are various legal limitations on the extent to which Citicorp's banking subsidiaries may extend credit, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to Citicorp. The approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if total dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year exceed net profits (as defined) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. In addition, dividends for such a bank may not be paid in excess of the bank's undivided profits. State-chartered bank subsidiaries are subject to dividend limitations imposed by applicable state law.
As of March 31, 2004, Citicorp's national and state-chartered bank subsidiaries can declare dividends to their respective parent companies, without regulatory approval, of approximately $7.0 billion. In determining whether and to what extent to pay dividends, each bank subsidiary must also consider the effect of dividend payments on applicable risk-based capital and leverage ratio requirements as well as policy statements of the federal regulatory agencies that indicate that banking organizations should generally pay dividends out of current operating earnings. Consistent with these considerations, Citicorp estimates that, as of March 31, 2004, its bank subsidiaries can directly or through their parent holding company distribute dividends to Citicorp of approximately $5.2 billion of the available $7.0 billion.
Citicorp also receives dividends from its nonbank subsidiaries. These nonbank subsidiaries are generally not subject to regulatory restrictions on their payment of dividends except that the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) may be required if total dividends declared by a savings association in any calendar year exceed amounts specified by that agency's regulations.
During 2004, it is not anticipated that any restrictions on the subsidiaries' dividending capability will restrict Citicorp's ability to meet its obligations as and when they become due. This statement is a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. See "Forward-Looking Statements" on page 42.
Primary sources of liquidity for Citicorp and its principal subsidiaries include deposits, collateralized financing transactions, senior and subordinated debt, issuance of commercial paper, proceeds from issuance of trust preferred securities, and purchased/wholesale funds. Citicorp and its principal subsidiaries also generate funds through securitizing financial assets including credit card receivables and single-family or multi-family residences. Finally, Citicorp's net earnings provide a significant source of funding to the Company.
Citicorp's funding sources are well-diversified across funding types and geography, a benefit of the strength of the global franchise. Funding for the parent company and its major operating subsidiaries includes a large geographically diverse retail and corporate deposit base of $502.9 billion at March 31, 2004. Citicorp's deposits represent 59% and 58% of total funding at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. A significant portion of these deposits have been, and are expected to be, long-term and stable and are considered core.
Citigroup and its subsidiaries have a significant presence in the global capital markets. A substantial portion of the publicly underwritten debt issuance is originated in the name of Citigroup. Publicly underwritten debt was also formerly issued by Citicorp, Associates First Capital Corporation (Associates), CitiFinancial Credit Company, and WMF. Citicorp has guaranteed various debt obligations of Associates, CitiFinancial Credit Company, and WMF, each an indirect subsidiary of Citicorp. Other significant elements of long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet include advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank system, asset-backed outstandings related to the purchase of Sears, and debt of foreign subsidiaries.
Citigroup and Citicorp, both of which are bank holding companies, maintain combined liquidity reserves of cash, securities and unused bank lines of credit to support their combined outstanding commercial paper.
Citigroup Finance Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Associates, has an unutilized credit facility of Canadian $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2004 that matures in 2004. The facilities guaranteed by Citicorp. In connection therewith, Citicorp is required to maintain a certain level of consolidated stockholder's equity (as defined in the credit facility's agreements). At March 31, 2004, this requirement was exceeded by approximately $67.8 billion.
Citicorp and some of its nonbank subsidiaries have credit facilities with Citicorp's subsidiary banks, including Citibank, N.A. Borrowings under these facilities must be secured in accordance with Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which a bank holding company and certain of its nonbank subsidiaries can borrow or otherwise obtain credit from banking subsidiaries or engage in certain other transactions with or involving those banking subsidiaries. In general,
37
these restrictions require that any such transactions must be on terms that would ordinarily be offered to unaffiliated entities and secured by designated amounts of specified collateral.
Citicorp uses its liquidity to service debt obligations, to pay dividends to its stockholders, to support organic growth, and to fund acquisitions. Each of Citicorp's major operating subsidiaries finances its operations on a basis consistent with its capitalization, regulatory structure and the environment in which it operates.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Citicorp and its subsidiaries are involved with several types of off-balance sheet arrangements, including special purpose entities (SPEs), lines and letters of credit, and loan commitments. The principal uses of SPEs are to obtain sources of liquidity by securitizing certain of Citicorp's financial assets, to assist our clients in securitizing their financial assets, and to create other investment products for our clients.
SPEs may be organized as trusts, partnerships, or corporations. In a securitization, a company transferring assets to an SPE converts those assets into cash before they would have been realized in the normal course of business. The SPE obtains the cash needed to pay the transferor for the assets received by issuing securities to investors in the form of debt and equity instruments, certificates, commercial paper, and other notes of indebtedness. Investors usually have recourse to the assets in the SPE and often benefit from other credit enhancements, such as a cash collateral account or overcollateralization in the form of excess assets in the SPE, or from a liquidity facility, such as a line of credit or asset purchase agreement. Accordingly, the SPE can typically obtain a more favorable credit rating from rating agencies, such as Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investors Service, or Fitch Ratings, than the transferor could obtain for its own debt issuances, resulting in less expensive financing costs. The transferor can use the cash proceeds from the sale to extend credit to additional customers or for other business purposes. The SPE may also enter into derivative contracts in order to convert the yield or currency of the underlying assets to match the needs of the SPE's investors or to limit or change the credit risk of the SPE. The Company may be the counterparty to any such derivative. The securitization process enhances the liquidity of the financial markets, may spread credit risk among several market participants, and makes new funds available to extend credit to consumers and commercial entities.
Citicorp also acts as intermediary or agent for its corporate clients, assisting them in obtaining sources of liquidity by selling the clients' trade receivables or other financial assets to an SPE. The Company also securitizes clients' debt obligations in transactions involving SPEs that issue collateralized debt obligations. In yet other arrangements, the Company packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets in order to create new security offerings for institutional and private bank clients as well as retail customers. In connection with such arrangements, Citicorp may purchase and temporarily hold assets designated for subsequent securitization.
Most of our credit card receivable and mortgage loan securitizations are organized as QSPEs and are, therefore, not VIEs subject to FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). SPEs may be QSPEs or VIEs or neither. When an entity is deemed a variable interest entity (VIE) under FIN 46, the entity in question must be consolidated by the primary beneficiary; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of most of these entities and as such do not consolidate most of them.
Securitization of Citicorp's Assets
In certain of these off-balance sheet arrangements, including credit card receivable and mortgage loan securitizations, Citicorp is securitizing assets that were previously recorded in its Consolidated Balance Sheet. A summary of certain cash flows received from and paid to securitization trusts is included in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Credit Card Receivables
Credit card receivables are securitized through trusts, which are established to purchase the receivables. Citicorp sells receivables into the trusts on a non-recourse basis. After securitization of credit card receivables, the Company continues to maintain credit card customer account relationships and provides servicing for receivables transferred to the SPE trusts. As a result, the Company considers both the securitized and unsecuritized credit card receivables to be part of the business it manages. The documents establishing the trusts generally require the Company to maintain an ownership interest in the trusts. The Company also arranges for third parties to provide credit enhancement to the trusts, including cash collateral accounts, subordinated securities, and letters of credit. As specified in certain of the sale agreements, the net revenue with respect to the investors' interest collected by the trusts each month is accumulated up to a predetermined maximum amount and is available over the remaining term of that transaction to make payments of interest to trust investors, fees, and transaction costs in the event that net cash flows from the receivables are not sufficient. If the net cash flows are insufficient, Citicorp's loss is limited to its retained interest, consisting of seller's interest and an interest-only strip that arises from the calculation of gain or loss at the time receivables are sold to the SPE. When the predetermined amount is reached, net revenue with respect to the investors' interest is passed directly to the Citicorp subsidiary that sold the receivables. Credit card securitizations are revolving securitizations; that is, as customers pay their credit card balances, the cash
38
proceeds are used to purchase new receivables and replenish the receivables in the trust. The Company relies on securitizations to fund approximately 60% of its Citi Cards business.
At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, total assets in the credit card trusts were $83 billion and $89 billion, respectively. Of those amounts at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, $76 billion and $76 billion, respectively, has been sold to investors via trust-issued securities, and the remaining seller's interest of $7 billion and $13 billion, respectively, is recorded in Citicorp's Consolidated Balance Sheet as Consumer Loans. Included in the $76 billion are retained securities issued by the trust totaling $1.1 billion at both March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. Citicorp retains credit risk on its seller's interests and reserves for expected credit losses. Amounts receivable from the trusts were $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, and amounts due to the trusts were $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The Company also recognized an interest-only strip of $836 million at both March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, that arose from the calculation of gain or loss at the time assets were sold to the QSPE. In the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recorded net gains of $146 million, primarily related to the securitization of credit card receivables as a result of changes in estimates in the timing of revenue recognition on securitizations. No such gains were recorded during the first three months of 2004.
Mortgages and Other Assets
The Company provides a wide range of mortgage and other loan products to a diverse customer base. In addition to providing a source of liquidity and less expensive funding, securitizing these assets also reduces the Company's credit exposure to the borrowers. In connection with the securitization of these loans, the Company may retain servicing rights that entitle the Company to a future stream of cash flows based on the outstanding principal balances of the loans and the contractual servicing fee. Failure to service the loans in accordance with contractual servicing obligations may lead to a termination of the servicing contracts and the loss of future servicing fees. In non-recourse servicing, the principal credit risk to the servicer arises from temporary advances of funds. In recourse servicing, the servicer agrees to share credit risk with the owner of the mortgage loans, such as FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA, or with a private investor, insurer or guarantor. The Company's mortgage loan securitizations are primarily non-recourse, thereby effectively transferring the risk of future credit losses to the purchasers of the securities issued by the trust. In addition to servicing rights, the Company also retains a residual interest in its auto loan, student loan and other assets securitizations, consisting of securities and interest-only strips that arise from the calculation of gain or loss at the time assets are sold to the SPE. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the total amount of mortgage and other loan products securitized and outstanding was $129.6 billion and $141.1 billion, respectively. Servicing rights and other retained interests amounted to $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company recognized gains related to the securitization of mortgages and other assets of $77.8 million and $84.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Securitizations of Client Assets
The Company acts as an intermediary or agent for its corporate clients, assisting them in obtaining sources of liquidity by selling the clients' trade receivables or other financial assets to an SPE.
The Company administers several third-party owned, special purpose, multi-seller finance companies that purchase pools of trade receivables, credit cards, and other financial assets from third-party clients of the Company. As administrator, the Company provides accounting, funding, and operations services to these conduits. The Company has no ownership interest in the conduits. Generally, the clients continue to service the transferred assets. The conduits' asset purchases are funded by issuing commercial paper and medium-term notes. Clients absorb the first losses of the conduits by providing collateral in the form of excess assets or residual interest. The Company along with other financial institutions provides liquidity facilities, such as commercial paper backstop lines of credit to the conduits. The Company also provides loss protection in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees. All fees are charged on a market basis. During 2003, to comply with FIN 46, all but two of the conduits issued "first loss" subordinated notes, such that one third-party investor in each conduit would be deemed the primary beneficiary and would consolidate that conduit. These non-consolidation conclusions were not changed upon the adoption of FIN 46 (revised December 2003) (FIN 46-R) in the first quarter of 2004. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, total assets in the unconsolidated conduits were $45 billion and $44 billion, respectively, and liabilities were $45 billion and $44 billion, respectively. One conduit with assets of $763 million at March 31, 2004 and $823 million at December 31, 2003 is consolidated.
Creation of Other Investment and Financing Products
The Company packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets in order to create new security offerings, including hedge funds, mutual funds, unit investment trusts, and other investment funds, for institutional and private bank clients as well as retail customers, that match the clients' investment needs and preferences. The SPEs may be credit-enhanced by excess assets in the investment pool or by third-party insurers assuming the risks of the underlying assets, thus reducing the credit risk assumed by the investors and diversifying investors' risk to a pool of assets as compared with investments in individual assets. The Company typically manages the SPEs for market-rate fees. In addition, the Company may be one of several liquidity providers to the SPEs and may place the securities with investors.
39
The Company also packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets in order to create new security offerings, including arbitrage collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs for institutional clients and retail customers, that match the clients' investment needs and preferences. Typically these instruments diversify investors' risk to a pool of assets as compared with investments in an individual asset. The variable interest entities (VIEs), which are issuers of CDO securities, are generally organized as limited liability corporations. The Company typically receives fees for structuring and/or distributing the securities sold to investors. In some cases, the Company may repackage the investment with higher-rated debt CDO securities or U.S. Treasury securities to provide a greater or a very high degree of certainty of the return of invested principal. A third-party manager is typically retained by the VIE to select collateral for inclusion in the pool and then actively manage it or, in other cases, only to manage work-out credits. The Company may also provide other financial services and/or products to the VIEs for market-rate fees. These may include: the provision of liquidity or contingent liquidity facilities, interest rate or foreign exchange hedges and credit derivative instruments, as well as the purchasing and warehousing of securities until they are sold to the SPE. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs under FIN 46 due to our limited continuing involvement and, as a result, we do not consolidate their assets and liabilities in our financial statements.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about off-balance sheet arrangements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Citigroup has had a long-standing process whereby business and financial officers throughout the Company attest to the accuracy of financial information reported in corporate systems as well as the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure processes. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires CEOs and CFOs to make certain certifications with respect to this report and to the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
Citigroup's Disclosure Committee has responsibility for ensuring that there is an adequate and effective process for establishing, maintaining, and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures for Citigroup in connection with its external disclosures. Citigroup has a Code of Conduct that expresses the values that drive employee behavior and maintains Citigroup's commitment to the highest standards of conduct. Citigroup has established an ethics hotline for employees. In addition, the Company adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Professionals which applies to all finance, accounting, treasury, tax and investor relations professionals worldwide and which supplements Citigroup-wide Code of Conduct.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Certain Regulatory Matters
The Company's parent, Citigroup, has disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting a non-public investigation, which Citigroup believes originated with its accounting treatment regarding its investments and business activities, and loan loss allowances, with respect to Argentina in the 4th quarter of 2001 and the 1st quarter of 2002; it is also addressing the timing and support documentation for certain accounting entries or adjustments. In connection with these matters, the SEC has requested certain accounting and internal controls-related information for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003. The SEC has recently scheduled testimony which began in May 2004. Citigroup is cooperating with the SEC in its investigation. Citigroup cannot predict the outcome of the investigation.

CITICORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2004 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 include the accounts of Citicorp and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation, have been reflected. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Citicorp's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, but is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation.
2. Accounting Changes
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
On January 1, 2004, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003)," (FIN 46-R), which includes substantial changes from the original FIN 46. Included in these changes, the calculation of expected losses and expected residual returns has been altered to reduce the impact of decision maker and guarantor fees in the calculation of expected residual returns and expected losses. In addition, the definition of a variable interest has been changed in the revised guidance. The Company has determined that in accordance with FIN 46-R, the multi-seller finance companies administered by the Company should continue not to be consolidated. However, the trust preferred security vehicles are now deconsolidated. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 46-R was an increase to assets and liabilities of approximately $1.1 billion, primarily due to certain structured finance transactions.
FIN 46 and FIN 46-R change the method of determining whether certain entities, including securitization entities, should be included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. An entity is subject to FIN 46 and FIN 46-R and is called a variable interest entity (VIE) if it has (1) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entity's operations or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. All other entities are evaluated for consolidation under SFAS No. 94, "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries" (SFAS 94). A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party involved with the VIE that has a majority of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns or both.
For any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN 46 that were created before February 1, 2003, the assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests of the VIE are initially measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46 first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests of the VIE. In October 2003, FASB announced that the effective date of FIN 46 was deferred from July 1, 2003 to periods ending after December 15, 2003 for VIEs created prior to February 1, 2003. With the exception of the deferral related to certain investment company subsidiaries, Citicorp elected to implement the remaining provisions of FIN 46 in the 2003 third quarter, resulting in the consolidation of VIEs increasing both total assets and total liabilities by approximately $1.0 billion. The implementation of FIN 46 encompassed a review of thousands of entities to determine the impact of adoption and considerable judgment was used in evaluating whether or not a VIE should be consolidated.
The Company administers several third-party owned, special purpose, multi-seller finance companies (the "conduits") that purchase pools of trade receivables, credit cards, and other financial assets from third-party clients of the Company. The Company has no ownership interest in the conduits, but as administrator provides them with accounting, funding, and operations services. Generally, the clients continue to service the transferred assets. The conduits' asset purchases are funded by issuing commercial paper and medium-term notes. Clients absorb the first losses of the conduits by providing collateral in the form of excess assets or residual interest. The Company along with other financial institutions provides liquidity facilities, such as commercial paper backstop lines of credit to the conduits. The Company also provides loss protection in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees. During 2003, to comply with FIN 46, all but two of the conduits issued "first loss" subordinated notes, such that one third-party investor in each conduit would be deemed the primary beneficiary and would consolidate that conduit.
Some of the Company's private equity subsidiaries may invest in venture capital entities that may also be subject to FIN 46-R. The Company accounts for its venture capital activities in accordance with the Investment Company Audit Guide (Audit Guide). The
48
FASB deferred adoption of FIN 46-R for non registered investment companies that apply the Audit Guide. The FASB permitted nonregistered investment companies to defer consolidation of VIEs with which they are involved until a Statement of Position on the scope of the Audit Guide is finalized, which is expected in mid-2004. Following issuance of the Statement of Position, the FASB will consider further modification to FIN 46-R to provide an exception for companies that qualify to apply the revised Audit Guide. Following issuance of the revised Audit Guide, the Company will assess the effect of such guidance on its private equity business.
The Company may provide administrative, trustee and/or investment management services to numerous personal estate trusts, which are considered VIEs under FIN 46, but are not consolidated.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Profit Recognition on Bifurcated Hybrid Instruments
On January 1, 2004, Citicorp revised the application of Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) Issue B6, "Embedded Derivatives: Allocating the Basis of a Hybrid Instrument to the Host Contract and the Embedded Derivative." In December 2003, the SEC staff gave a speech which revised the accounting for derivatives embedded in financial instruments ("hybrid instruments") to preclude the recognition of any profit on the trade date for hybrid instruments that must be bifurcated for accounting purposes. The trade-date revenue must instead be amortized over the life of the hybrid instrument. The impact of this change in application was a $29 million pretax reduction in revenue across all of the Company's businesses in the 2004 first quarter. This revenue will be recognized over the life of the transactions.
Adoption of SFAS 132-R
In December 2003, FASB issued SFAS No.132 (Revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" (SFAS 132-R), which retains the disclosure requirements contained in SFAS 132 and requires additional disclosure in financial statements about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of domestic defined benefit pension plans and other domestic defined benefit postretirement plans for periods ending after December 15, 2003, except for the disclosure of expected future benefit payments, which must be disclosed for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. The new disclosure requirements for foreign retirement plans apply to fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. However, the Company has elected to adopt SFAS 132-R for its foreign plans as of December 31, 2003. Certain disclosures required by SFAS 132-R are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. Accordingly, the new interim disclosures are included in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On January 1, 2003, Citicorp adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, other than in a business combination, be recognized when the liability is incurred. Previous generally accepted accounting principles provided for the recognition of such costs at the date of management's commitment to an exit plan. In addition, SFAS 146 requires that the liability be measured at fair value and be adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. The provisions of the new standard are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The impact of adopting of SFAS 146 was not material.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
On July 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 149). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). In particular, this SFAS 149 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 did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liabilities and Equity
On July 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity and classifies them on its balance sheet. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) when that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective July 1, 2003, and did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, prospectively for 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 CompensationTransition and Disclosure" (SFAS 148) issued in December 2002. SFAS 123 requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period). This compensation cost is determined using option pricing models intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Similar to APB 25, the alternative method of accounting, under SFAS 123, an offsetting increase to stockholder's equity is recorded equal to the amount of compensation expense charged. Earnings per share dilution is recognized as well. During the 2004 first quarter, the Company changed its option valuation from the Black-Scholes model to the binomial method. The impact of this change was immaterial.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
In November 2002, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45), which requires that, for guarantees within the scope of FIN 45 issued or amended after December 31, 2002, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee be recognized. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45. The impact of adopting FIN 45 was not material. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures in financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. Accordingly, these disclosures are included in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Future Application of Accounting Standards
Accounting for Loan Commitments Accounted For As Derivatives
On March 9, 2004, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, "Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments" (SAB 105), which specifies that servicing assets embedded in commitments for loans to be held for sale should be recognized only when the servicing asset has been contractually separated from the associated loans by sale or securitization. SAB 105 is effective for commitments entered into after March 31, 2004. The Company is assessing the impact of adopting SAB 105.
Postretirement Benefits
In January 2004, FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 106-1, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" (FSP FAS 106-1), in response to the December 2003 enactment of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act). The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit for individuals under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy equal to 28% of prescription drug claims for sponsors of retiree health care plans with drug benefits that are at least actuarially equivalent to those to be offered under Medicare Part D. FSP FAS 106-1 allows plan sponsors the option of accounting for the effects of the Act in financial statements for periods that include the date of enactment or making a one-time election to defer the accounting for the effects of the Act.
Citicorp has decided to defer recognizing any effects of the Act until further guidance is issued by FASB. Measurement of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the financial statements or accompanying notes do not reflect the effects of the Act on the Company's postretirement benefit plans. The Act is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer
On December 12, 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer" (SOP 03-3). SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. SOP 03-3 requires acquired loans to be recorded at fair value and prohibits carrying over valuation allowances in the initial accounting for all loans acquired in a transfer that have evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination, when it is probable that the investor will be unable to collect all contractual cash flows. Loans carried at fair value, mortgage loans held-for-sale, and loans to borrowers in good standing under revolving credit agreements are excluded from the scope of SOP 03-3.
SOP 03-3 limits the yield that may be accreted to the excess of the undiscounted expected cash flows over the investor's initial investment in the loan. The excess of the contractual cash flows over expected cash flows may not be recognized as an adjustment of yield. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the loan's yield over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment.

3. Business Developments and Combinations
Acquisition of KorAm Bank
On February 22, 2004, Citigroup and KorAm Bank announced that they, together with an investor consortium led by The Carlyle Group and JP Morgan Corsair II (the investor consortium), signed an agreement for Citigroup to acquire a controlling interest in KorAm. Based on 2003 revenues, KorAm Bank is the seventh-largest commercial bank in Korea, with 222 domestic branches and total assets of $35.9 billion.
The terms of the transaction included the acquisition of the investor consortium's 36.6% stake in KorAm Bank and a tender offer for all of the remaining shares at a price of KRW 15,500 per share in cash.
Under the tender offer, which expired on April 30, 2004, approximately 60.9% of the outstanding shares were tendered. When combined with the investor consortium's stake in KorAm Bank, Citigroup's overall shareholding will be approximately 97.5%, with a total purchase price of KRW 3.07 trillion ($2.6 billion). The acquisition is expected to close during the 2004 second quarter.
The businesses of Citigroup and KorAm Bank, taken together, will create the sixth-largest commercial bank in Korea, based on 2003 revenues. The operations of KorAm will be integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.
Acquisition of Washington Mutual Finance Corporation
On January 9, 2004, Citigroup acquired Washington Mutual Finance Corporation (WMF) for $1.25 billion. WMF was the consumer finance subsidiary of Washington Mutual, Inc. WMF provides direct consumer installment loans and real-estate-secured loans, as well as sales finance and the sale of insurance. The acquisition includes 427 WMF offices located in 26 states, primarily in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. WMF has more than 2,300 employees and total assets of $3.8 billion. Citicorp has guaranteed all outstanding unsecured indebtedness of WMF in connection with this acquisition. The operations of WMF were integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.
Acquisition of Sears' Credit Card and Financial Products Business
On November 3, 2003, Citigroup acquired the Sears' Credit Card and Financial Products business (Sears). $28.6 billion of gross receivables were acquired for a 10% premium of $2.9 billion and annual performance payments over the next 10 years based on new accounts, retail sales volume, and financial product sales. $5.8 billion of intangible assets and goodwill have been recorded as a result of this transaction. In addition, the companies signed a multi-year marketing and servicing agreement across a range of each company's businesses, products, and services. The results of Sears are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from November 2003 forward. The operations of Sears were integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.
Acquisition of The Home Depot's Private-Label Portfolio
In July 2003, Citigroup completed the acquisition of The Home Depot's private-label portfolio (Home Depot), which added $6 billion in receivables and 12 million accounts. The results of Home Depot are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from July 2003 forward. The operations of Home Depot were integrated into the businesses of Citicorp.

During the first quarter of 2004, Citicorp recorded restructuring charges of $22 million, of which $21 million related to the purchase price allocation of WMF for the integration of its operations and operating platforms within the Global Consumer business. Of the $21 million, $4 million related to employee severance and $17 million related to exiting leasehold and other contractual obligations. These restructuring initiatives are expected to be substantially implemented over the next year.
During 2003, Citicorp recorded a restructuring reserve of $82 million in the purchase price allocation of Sears for the integration of its operations and operating platforms within the Global Consumer business. Of the $82 million, $47 million related to employee severance and $35 million related to exiting leasehold and other contractual obligations.

Changes in estimates are attributable to facts and circumstances arising subsequent to an original restructuring charge. Changes in estimates attributable to lower than anticipated costs of implementing certain projects and a reduction in the scope of certain initiatives during the first quarter of 2004 resulted in a reduction of the reserve for prior restructuring initiatives of $4 million, offset by the $1 million restructuring charge for WMF. Changes in estimates during the first quarter of 2003 resulted in a reduction of reserves for prior restructuring initiatives of $12 million.

9. Derivatives and Other Activities
A derivative must be highly effective in accomplishing the hedge objective of offsetting either changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item for the risk being hedged. Any ineffectiveness present in the hedge relationship is recognized in current earnings. The assessment of effectiveness excludes the changes in the value of the hedged item which are unrelated to the risks being hedged. Similarly, the assessment of effectiveness may exclude changes in the fair value of a derivative related to time value which, if excluded, are recognized in current earnings.
The following table summarizes certain information related to the Company's hedging activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

10. Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities
Securitization Activities
Citicorp and its subsidiaries securitize primarily credit card receivables and mortgages. Other types of assets securitized include corporate debt securities, auto loans and student loans.
After securitizations of credit card receivables, the Company continues to maintain credit card customer account relationships and provides servicing for receivables transferred to the trusts. The Company also arranges for third parties to provide credit enhancement to the trusts, including cash collateral accounts, subordinated securities and letters of credit. As specified in certain of the sale agreements, the net revenue collected each month is accumulated up to a predetermined maximum amount, and is available over the remaining term of that transaction to make payments of yield, fees, and transaction costs in the event that net cash flows from the receivables are not sufficient. When the predetermined amount is reached net revenue is passed directly to the Citicorp subsidiary that sold the receivables.
The Company provides a wide range of mortgage products to a diverse customer base. In connection with these loans, the servicing rights entitle the Company to a future stream of cash flows based on the outstanding principal balances of the loans and the contractual servicing fee. Failure to service the loans in accordance with contractual requirements may lead to a termination of the servicing rights and the loss of future servicing fees. In non-recourse servicing, the principal credit risk to the servicer is the cost of temporary advances of funds. In recourse servicing, the servicer agrees to share credit risk with the owner of the mortgage loans such as FNMA or FHLMC or with a private investor, insurer or guarantor. Losses on recourse servicing occur primarily when foreclosure sale proceeds of the property underlying a defaulted mortgage loan are less than the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of the loan and the cost of holding and disposing of the underlying property.
The Company also originates and sells first mortgage loans in the ordinary course of its mortgage banking activities. The Company sells certain of these loans to the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) with the servicing rights retained. GNMA has the primary recourse obligation on the individual loans; however, GNMA's recourse obligation is capped at a fixed amount per loan. Any losses above that fixed amount are borne by Citicorp as the seller/servicer.
The following tables summarize certain cash flows received from and paid to securitization trusts during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

The Company recognized gains on securitizations of mortgages of $77.8 million and $79.2 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In the first quarter of 2003, the Company recorded gains of $146 million related to the securitization of credit card receivables as a result of changes in estimates in the timing of revenue recognition on securitizations. No such gains were recorded during the first quarter of 2004. Gains recognized on the securitization of other assets during the first three months of 2003 were $5.7 million. No such gains were recorded during the first quarter of 2004.
Key assumptions used for credit cards, mortgages and other assets during the three months ended March 31, 2004 in measuring the fair value of retained interests at the date of sale or securitization follow:
|
Credit Cards |
Mortgages and Other |
|||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Discount rate | 10.0 | % | 11.0 | % | |
Constant prepayment rate | 15.0% to 17.5 | % | 7.0 | % | |
Anticipated net credit losses | 5.6% to 10.0 | % | 0.03 | % | |
55
As required by SFAS No. 140, the effect of two negative changes in each of the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of retained interests must be disclosed. The negative effect of each change in each assumption must be calculated independently, holding all other assumptions constant. Because the key assumptions may not in fact be independent, the net effect of simultaneous adverse changes in the key assumptions may be less than the sum of the individual effects shown below.
At March 31, 2004, the key assumptions used to value retained interests and the sensitivity of the fair value to two adverse changes in each of the key assumptions were as follows:
Key assumptions at March 31, 2004: |
Discount Rate |

Managed Loans
After securitization of credit card receivables, the Company continues to maintain credit card customer account relationships and provides servicing for receivables transferred to the trusts. As a result, the Company considers both the securitized and unsecuritized credit card receivables to be part of the business it manages. The following tables present a reconciliation between the managed basis and on-balance sheet credit card portfolios and the related delinquencies (loans which are 90 days or more past due) at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and credit losses, net of recoveries, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.

The following table represents the carrying amounts and classification of consolidated assets that are collateral for VIE obligations, including VIEs that were consolidated prior to the implementation of FIN 46 under existing guidance and VIEs that the Company became involved with after July 1, 2003:

Other assets | 0.4 | 1.4 | ||||
Total assets of consolidated VIEs | $ | 25.8 | $ | 27.1 | ||
The consolidated VIEs included in the table above represent numerous separate entities with which the Company is involved and includes approximately $1.1 billion related to VIEs newly-consolidated as a result of adopting FIN46-R as of January 1, 2004 and $1.0 billion related to VIEs newly consolidated as a result of adopting FIN 46 at July 1, 2003. Of the $25.8 billion and $27.1 billion of total assets of VIEs consolidated by the Company at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, $20.2 billion and $20.1 billion represent structured transactions where the Company packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets or from clients in order to create new security offerings and financing opportunities for clients, $4.8 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively, represent investment vehicles that were established to provide a return to the investors in the vehicles, and $0.8 billion and $0.6 billion represent vehicles that hold lease receivables and equipment as collateral to issue debt securities, thus obtaining secured financing at favorable interest rates. In addition, at December 31, 2003, $0.8 billion relates to trust preferred securities which are a source of funding and regulatory capital for the Company. In accordance with FIN 46-R, the trust preferred securities have been deconsolidated at March 31, 2004.
The Company may, along with other financial institutions, provide liquidity facilities to the VIEs. Furthermore, the Company may be a party to derivative contracts with VIEs, may provide loss enhancement in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees to the VIEs, may be the investment manager, and may also have an ownership interest or other investment in certain VIEs. In general, the investors in the obligations of consolidated VIEs have recourse only to the assets of those VIEs and do not have recourse to the Company, except where the Company has provided a guarantee to the investors or is the counterparty to a derivative transaction involving the VIE.
In addition to the VIEs that are consolidated in accordance with FIN 46-R, the Company has significant variable interests in certain other VIEs that are not consolidated because the Company is not the primary beneficiary. These include multi-seller finance companies, collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), structured finance transactions, and numerous investment funds. In addition to these VIEs, the Company issues preferred securities to third-party investors through trust vehicles as a source of funding and
57
regulatory capital. In accordance with FIN 46-R, the Company deconsolidated the preferred securities trusts with assets of $780 million during the first quarter of 2004. The Company's liabilities related to these trusts are included in long-term debt at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
The Company administers several third-party owned, special purpose, multi-seller finance companies that purchase pools of trade receivables, credit cards, and other financial assets from third-party clients of the Company. As administrator, the Company provides accounting, funding, and operations services to these conduits. Generally, the Company has no ownership interest in the conduits. The sellers continue to service the transferred assets. The conduits' asset purchases are funded by issuing commercial paper and medium-term notes. The sellers absorb the first losses of the conduit by providing collateral in the form of excess assets. The Company along with other financial institutions provides liquidity facilities, such as commercial paper backstop lines of credit to the conduits. The Company also provides loss protection in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees. All fees are charged on a market basis. During 2003, to comply with FIN 46, all but two of the conduits issued "first loss" subordinated notes such that one third party investor in each conduit would be deemed the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the conduit. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, total assets in unconsolidated conduits were $45.1 billion and $44.3 billion, respectively. One conduit with assets of $763 million and $823 million is consolidated at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
The Company packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets or from clients in order to create new security offerings and financing opportunities for institutional and private bank clients as well as retail customers, including hedge funds, mutual funds, unit investment trusts, and other investment funds that match the clients' investment needs and preferences. The funds may be credit-enhanced by excess assets in the investment pool or by third-party insurers assuming the risks of the underlying assets, thus reducing the credit risk assumed by the investors and diversifying investors' risk to a pool of assets as compared with investments in individual assets. In a limited number of cases, the Company may guarantee the return of principal to investors. The Company typically manages the funds for market-rate fees. In addition, the Company may be one of several liquidity providers to the funds and may place the securities with investors. Many investment funds are organized as registered investment companies (RICs), corporations or partnerships with sufficient capital to fund their operations without additional credit support.
The Company also packages and securitizes assets purchased in the financial markets in order to create new security offerings, including arbitrage collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs for institutional clients and retail customers, that match the clients' investment needs and preferences. Typically these instruments diversify investors' risk to a pool of assets as compared with investments in an individual asset. The VIEs, which are issuers of CDO securities, are generally organized as limited liability corporations. The Company typically receives fees for structuring and/or distributing the securities sold to investors. In some cases, the Company may repackage the investment with higher rated debt CDO securities or U.S. Treasury securities to provide a greater or a very high degree of certainty of the return of invested principal. A third-party manager is typically retained by the VIE to select collateral for inclusion in the pool and then actively manage it, or, in other cases, only to manage work-out credits. The Company may also provide other financial services and/or products to the VIEs for market-rate fees. These may include: the provision of liquidity or contingent liquidity facilities, interest rate or foreign exchange hedges and credit derivative instruments, as well as the purchasing and warehousing of securities until they are sold to the SPE. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs under FIN 46-R due to our limited continuing involvement and, as a result, we do not consolidate their assets and liabilities in our financial statements.
In addition to the conduits discussed above, the total assets of unconsolidated VIEs where the Company has significant involvement is $54.4 billion and $65.5 billion at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, including $5.9 billion and $6.4 billion in investment-related transactions, $1.3 billion and $0.5 billion in CDO-type transactions, and $46.4 billion and $58.2 billion in structured finance and other transactions. Included in the total unconsolidated VIEs were $0.8 billion in trust preferred securities at March 31, 2004, and $0.4 billion in mortgage-related transactions at December 31, 2003.
The Company has also established a number of investment funds as opportunities for qualified employees to invest in venture capital investments. The Company acts as investment manager to these funds and may provide employees with financing on both a recourse and non-recourse basis for a portion of the employees' investment commitments.
In addition, the Company administers numerous personal estate trusts. The Company may act as trustee and may also be the investment manager for the trust assets.
As mentioned above, the Company may, along with other financial institutions, provide liquidity facilities, such as commercial paper backstop lines of credit to the VIEs. The Company may be a party to derivative contracts with VIEs, may provide loss enhancement in the form of letters of credit and other guarantees to the VIEs, may be the investment manager, and may also have an ownership interest in certain VIEs. Although actual losses are not expected to be material, the Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with VIEs that are not consolidated was $43.4 billion at March 31, 2004. For this purpose, maximum exposure is considered to be the notional amounts of credit lines, guarantees, other credit support, and liquidity facilities, the notional amounts of credit default swaps and certain total return swaps, and the amount invested where Citicorp has an ownership interest in the VIEs. In addition, the Company may be party to other derivative contracts with VIEs. Exposures that are considered to be guarantees are also included in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

11. Retirement Benefits
Retirement Benefits
Citigroup has several non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees. The U.S. defined benefit plan provides benefits under a cash balance formula. Employees satisfying certain age and service requirements remain covered by a prior final pay formula.
Citicorp participates with affiliated companies in the Citigroup U.S. pension plans that resulted in net expense of $64 million and $26 million at March 31,2004 and 2003, respectively. Citicorp's allocated share of the net expense was $18 million and $4 million at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company also has various defined benefit pension and termination indemnity plans covering employees outside the United States which resulted in net expense of $34 million and $34 million at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company also participates in Citigroup-sponsored postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain eligible U.S. retired employees, as well as to certain eligible employees outside the United States. Citicorp's allocated share of the U.S. and non-U.S. plans' net expense was $11 million and $11 million at March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company's retirement benefit plans are described in more detail in Citigroup's 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
12. Guarantees
Obligations under Guarantees
The Company provides a variety of guarantees and indemnifications to Citicorp customers to enhance their credit standing and enable them to complete a wide variety of business transactions. The tables below summarize at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 all of the Company's guarantees and indemnifications, where we believe the guarantees and indemnifications are related to an asset, liability, or equity security of the guaranteed parties at the inception of the contract. The maximum potential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could be lost under the guarantees and indemnifications if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. Such amounts bear no relationship to the anticipated losses on these guarantees and indemnifications and greatly exceed anticipated losses.

Financial standby letters of credit include guarantees of payment of insurance premiums and reinsurance risks that support industrial revenue bond underwriting and settlement of payment obligations in clearing houses, and that support options and purchases of securities or in lieu of escrow deposit accounts. Financial standbys also backstop loans, credit facilities, promissory notes and trade acceptances. Performance guarantees and letters of credit are issued to guarantee a customer's tender bid on a construction or systems installation project or to guarantee completion of such projects in accordance with contract terms. They are also issued to support a customer's obligation to supply specified products, commodities, or maintenance or warranty services to a third party. Derivative instruments include credit default swaps, total return swaps, written foreign exchange options, written put options, and written equity warrants. Guarantees of collection of contractual cash flows protect investors in credit card receivables securitization trusts from loss of interest relating to insufficient collections on the underlying receivables in the trusts. Loans sold with recourse represent the Company's obligations to reimburse the buyers for loan losses under certain circumstances. Securities lending indemnifications are issued to guarantee that a security lending customer will be made whole in the event that the security borrower does not return the security subject to the lending agreement and collateral held is insufficient to cover the market value of the security. Credit card merchant processing guarantees represent the Company's obligations in connection with the processing of credit card transactions on behalf of merchants. Custody indemnifications are issued to guarantee that custody clients will be made whole in the event that a third-party subcustodian fails to safeguard clients' assets.
At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company's maximum potential amount of future payments under these guarantees was approximately $288.5 billion and $252.7 billion, respectively. For this purpose, the maximum potential amount of future payments is considered to be the notional amounts of letters of credit, guarantees, written credit default swaps, written total return swaps, indemnifications, and recourse provisions of loans sold with recourse, and the fair values of foreign exchange options and other written put options, warrants, caps and floors.
Citicorp's primary credit card business is the issuance of credit cards to individuals. The Company also provides processing services to various merchants, processing credit card transactions on their behalf and managing the merchant's cash flow related to their credit card activity. In connection with these services, a contingent liability arises in the event of a billing dispute between the merchant and a cardholder that is ultimately resolved in the cardholder's favor and generally extends between three and six months after the date the transaction is processed or the receipt of the product or service, depending on industry practice or statutory requirements. In this situation, the transaction is "charged back" to the merchant and the disputed amount is credited or otherwise refunded to the cardholder. If the Company is unable to collect this amount from the merchant, it bears the loss for the amount of the refund paid to the cardholder. The risk of loss is mitigated as the cash flows between the Company and the merchant are settled on a net basis and the Company has the right to offset any payments with cash flows otherwise due to the merchant. To further mitigate this risk, Citicorp may require the merchant to make an escrow deposit, delay settlement, include event triggers to provide the Company with more financial and operational control in the event of the financial deterioration of the merchant, or require various credit enhancements (including letters of credit and bank guarantees). At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, the Company held as collateral approximately $45.2 million and $26 million, respectively, of merchant escrow deposits and also had $117 million and $109 million, respectively, payable to merchants, which the Company has the right to set off against amounts due from the individual merchants.
The Company's maximum potential liability for this contingent merchant processing liability is estimated to be the total volume of credit card transactions that meet the associations' requirements to be valid chargeback transactions at any given time. At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, this maximum potential exposure was estimated to be $26.5 billion and $22.6 billion, respectively. However, the Company believes that the maximum exposure is not representative of the actual potential loss exposure based on the Company's historical experience. In most cases, this contingent liability is unlikely to arise, as most products and services are
60
delivered when purchased and amounts are refunded when items are returned to merchants. The Company assesses the probability and amount of its liability related to merchant processing based on the extent and nature of unresolved chargebacks and its historical loss experience.
At March 31, 2004, the estimated losses incurred and the carrying amount of the Company's obligations related to merchant processing activities was immaterial.
In addition, the Company, through its credit card business, provides various cardholder protection programs on several of its card products, including programs that provide insurance coverage for rental cars, coverage for certain losses associated with purchased products, price protection for certain purchases and protection for lost luggage. These guarantees are not included in the table above since the total outstanding amount of the guarantees and the Company's maximum exposure to loss cannot be quantified. The protection is limited to certain types of purchases and certain types of losses and it is not possible to quantify the purchases that would qualify for these benefits at any given time. Actual losses related to these programs were not material during 2004 and 2003. The Company assesses the probability and amount of its potential liability related to these programs based on the extent and nature of its historical loss experience. At March 31, 2004, the estimated losses incurred and the carrying value of the Company's obligations related to these programs are immaterial.
In the normal course of business, the Company provides standard representations and warranties to counterparties in contracts in connection with numerous transactions and also provides indemnifications that protect the counterparties to the contracts in the event that additional taxes are owed due either to a change in the tax law or an adverse interpretation of the tax law. Counterparties to these transactions provide the Company with comparable indemnifications. While such representations, warranties and tax indemnifications are essential components of many contractual relationships, they do not represent the underlying business purpose for the transactions. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms related to the Company's own performance under the terms of a contract and are entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss is remote. Often these clauses are intended to ensure that terms of a contract are met at inception (for example, that loans transferred to a counterparty in a sales transaction did in fact meet the conditions specified in the contract at the transfer date). No compensation is received for these standard representations and warranties and it is not possible to determine their fair value because they rarely, if ever, result in a payment. In many cases, there are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses and the contingencies potentially triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur. There are no amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, related to these indemnifications and they are not included in the table above.
In addition, the Company is a member of or shareholder in hundreds of value transfer networks (VTNs) (payment, clearing and settlement systems as well as securities exchanges) around the world. As a condition of membership, many of these VTNs require that members stand ready to backstop the net effect on the VTNs of a member's default on its obligations. The Company's potential obligations as a shareholder or member of VTN associations are excluded from the scope of FIN 45, since the shareholders and members represent subordinated classes of investors in the VTNs. Accordingly, the Company's participation in VTNs is not reported in the table above and there are no amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2004 or December 31, 2003 for potential obligations that could arise from the Company's involvement with VTN associations.
At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the carrying amounts of the liabilities related to the guarantees and indemnifications included in the table above amounted to approximately $12.5 billion and $12.6 billion. The carrying value of derivative instruments is included in either trading liabilities or other liabilities depending upon whether the derivative was entered into for trading or non-trading purposes. The carrying value of financial and performance guarantees is included in other liabilities. The carrying value of the guarantees of contractual cash flows are offset against the receivables from the credit card trusts. For loans sold with recourse the carrying value of the liability is included in other liabilities. In addition, at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, other liabilities includes an allowance for credit losses of $600 million and $600 million, respectively, relating to letters of credit and unfunded lending commitments.
In addition to the collateral available in respect of the credit card merchant processing contingent liability discussed above, the Company has collateral available to reimburse potential losses on its other guarantees. Cash collateral available to the Company to reimburse losses realized under these guarantees and indemnifications amounted to $38.5 billion and $38.3 billion at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Securities and other marketable assets held as collateral amounted to $34.9 billion and $29.6 billion and letters of credit in favor of the Company held as collateral amounted to $2.0 billion and $1.5 billion at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. Other property may also be available to the Company to cover losses under certain guarantees and indemnifications; however, the value of such property has not been determined.
61
For a discussion of certain legal proceedings, see Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, Citicorp and its subsidiaries are defendants or co-defendants or parties in various litigation and regulatory matters incidental to and typical of the businesses in which they are engaged. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of these legal and regulatory proceedings would not be likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company but, if involving monetary liability, may be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period.
14. Related Party Balances
The Company has related party balances with Citigroup and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. These balances, which are short-term in nature, include cash accounts, collateralized financing transactions, margin accounts, derivative trading, charges for operational support and the borrowing and lending of funds and are entered into in the ordinary course of business.
15. Subsequent Event
Charge for Regulatory and Legal Matters
On May 10, 2004, Citigroup Inc. announced that it was taking a charge of $4.95 billion after-tax to cover the cost of resolving numerous lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of the transactions and activities that were the subjects of (i) the April 2003 settlement of research and IPO spinning-related inquiries conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, the New York Stock Exchange and the New York Attorney General, (ii) the July 2003 settlement of the Enron-related inquiries conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Manhattan District Attorney, (iii) underwritings for, and research coverage of, WorldCom, and (iv) the allocation of, and aftermarket trading in, securities sold in initial public offerings. The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits and other legal proceedings arising out of the transactions and activities described in (ii) above. Subject to further review and adjustment, it is anticipated that the Company will record an after-tax charge of approximately $950 million in the second quarter of 2004.
The Company believes that its reserve, subject to any further adjustments in allocation, is adequate to meet all of its remaining exposure for these matters. However, in view of the large number of these matters, the uncertainties of the timing and outcome of this type of litigation, and the significant amounts involved, it is possible that the ultimate costs of these matters may exceed or be below the reserve. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in these cases, and to resolve them in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of these lawsuits and other proceedings, while not likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, may be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period.

16. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
CitiFinancial Credit Company (CCC)
On August 4, 1999, CCC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, was contributed to and became a subsidiary of Citicorp Banking Corporation (CBC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citicorp. Citicorp issued a full and unconditional guarantee of the outstanding long-term debt securities and commercial paper of CCC.
Associates First Capital Corporation (Associates)
In connection with Citigroup's November 30, 2000 acquisition of Associates in which Associates became a wholly owned subsidiary of Citicorp, Citicorp issued a full and unconditional guarantee of the outstanding long-term debt securities and commercial paper of Associates and Associates Corporation of North America (ACONA), a subsidiary of Associates.
Effective as of August 10, 2001, CBC, the parent company of CCC, transferred 100% of the stock of CCC to Associates in exchange for convertible preferred stock of Associates, making CCC a wholly owned subsidiary of Associates. The condensed consolidating financial statements account for the transaction in a manner similar to a pooling of interest and therefore all prior periods have been restated.
On October 2, 2001, ACONA merged with and into Associates at which time, Associates assumed ACONA's obligations under all debt instruments and agreements. Information included in the following condensed financial statements under the Associates column represents Associates Consolidated which includes ACONA's and CCC's results.
On July 1, 2002, Citicorp contributed its remaining interest in the stock of Associates to CBC, making Associates a wholly owned subsidiary of CBC. Citicorp remains the guarantor of the outstanding long-term debt, securities and commercial paper of Associates.
Citigroup Finance Canada Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Associates, had an unutilized credit facility of Canadian $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2004 that matures in 2004. The facility is guaranteed by Citicorp. In connection therewith, Citicorp is required to maintain a certain level of consolidated stockholder's equity (as defined in the agreements). At March 31, 2004, this requirement was exceeded by approximately $67.8 billion. Citicorp also has guaranteed various debt obligations of Associates and CCC.
