Private Education Loan Delinquencies
The table below presents our Private Education Loan delinquency trends as of December 31, 2007, 2006
and 2005. Delinquencies have the potential to adversely impact earnings as they are an initial indication of the
borrower’s potential to possibly default and as a result command a higher loan loss reserve than loans in
current status. Delinquent loans also require increased servicing and collection efforts, resulting in higher
operating costs.
