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 six 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, Goodwill, Income Taxes and Legal Reserves. The Company, in consultation with the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors, has reviewed and approved these significant accounting policies, which are further described in the Company's 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

See Footnote (4) to the table on page 6 and discussion of Risk Capital on page 36.

        Global Consumer reported net income of $2.819 billion in the 2005 first quarter, up $231 million or 9% from the prior-year period, driven by double-digit growth across all products, partially offset by a $109 million after-tax loss on the sale of a Manufactured Housing Loan portfolio in Other Consumer. Retail Banking net income increased $150 million or 13% in the 2005 first quarter, primarily reflecting a $111 million after-tax gain on the sale of the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business, a $72 million after-tax gain relating to the resolution of the Glendale litigation, and growth in Asia and Mexico, partially offset by a decline in EMEA due to repositioning costs. Cards net income increased $106 million or 11% in the 2005 first quarter primarily due to an improved credit environment and the impact of securitization gains in North America, growth in sales and volumes, and the benefit of foreign currency translation in International Cards. Consumer Finance net income increased $62 million or 11% in the 2005 first quarter primarily due to lower credit losses, lower expenses and higher volumes in North America, as well as improved International Consumer Finance results due to lower credit losses in Japan and growth in personal loans in Asia; this was partially offset by a deterioration in EMEA, which included repositioning and branch expansion costs.

        On March 31, 2005, Citigroup acquired First American Bank in Texas (FAB), which includes 106 branches, $4.2 billion in assets and approximately 120,000 customers in the state of Texas. On July 1, 2004, Citigroup acquired Principal Residential Mortgage, Inc. (PRMI), a servicing portfolio of $115 billion. In the 2004 second quarter, Citigroup completed the acquisition of KorAm, which added $10.0 billion in deposits and $12.6 billion in loans, with $11.5 billion in Retail Banking and $1.1 billion in Cards at June 30, 2004. In January 2004, Citigroup completed the acquisition of Washington Mutual Finance (WMF), which added $3.8 billion in average loans and 427 loan offices. These business acquisitions were accounted for as purchases; therefore, their results are included in the Global Consumer results from the dates of acquisition.

        Global Consumer has divested itself of several non-strategic businesses and portfolios as opportunities to exit became available. These divestitures include a $1.4 billion Manufactured Housing Loan portfolio and the CitiCapital Transportation Finance business, consisting of $4.3 billion of assets, in the 2005 first quarter; Global Consumer's share of Citigroup's 20% stake in Samba in the 2004 second quarter, and a $900 million vendor finance leasing business in Europe in the 2004 fourth quarter.
