Floating Rate Student Loan-Backed Certificates ("Certificates"), and there was
one (1) registered holder of the Certificates, CEDE & Co., as nominee of The

2
persons registered on the books of DTC as record owners of Certificates. There
is no established trading market for the Certificates.
ITEM 7. OTHER RELATED EVENTS AND INFORMATION.
On February 1, 1999, President Clinton submitted his Fiscal Year 2000 budget
proposal to Congress. The budget proposes achieving significant cost savings
from the student loan programs, principally from the Federal Family Education
Loan Program ("FFELP"). Among these proposals for student loan programs are:
- Reinstatement of a lower rate for new Federal Direct Consolidation
Loans. This variable rate (the 91-day Treasury bill rate plus 2.3%
during repayment and 1.7% during in-school and grace periods) would
apply for borrowers whose applications are received before September
30, 2000. The budget proposals would also lower the annual fee paid
bylenders on FFELP consolidation loans made during the same period
from 1.05% to .62% of the principal plus accrued unpaid interest;
- Creation of a 90-day period during which interest on a highly
delinquent FFELP loan does not accrue. The Higher Education
Amendments of 1998 (the "Reauthorization Legislation") extended the
period before lenders can submit default claims from 180 days to
270 days; the budget proposes to eliminate interest accrual during
this extended period;
- Reduction by 30 basis points of special allowance payments on FFELP
loans funded with tax exempt securities; and
- Implementation of additional Guarantor reforms, including the
acceleration of recall of Guarantor reserves mandated by the
Reauthorization Legislation, recall of an additional $1.5 billion in
reserves, the reduction of the Guarantor retention rate on payments on
defaulted loans to 18.5%, the reduction in the share of the remaining
amount that Guarantors may retain, and an expansion of the use of
voluntary flexible agreements authorized by the Reauthorization
Legislation.
All these proposals may be considered by Congress as it deliberates on the
Fiscal Year 2000 budget.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
Nothing to report.
PART III.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.
At December 31, 1998, the Certificates held by the Registrant were registered
in the name of CEDE and Co., as nominee of DTC. The books of DTC indicate
that thirty-six (36) participant institutions are record owners of more than
5% of the Certificates.
