Report of Independent Public Accountants
To Household Finance Corporation:
We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated financial statements of Household
Finance Corporation (the "Company") and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1999 and have issued our report thereon dated
January 14, 2000. We have not audited any financial statements
of the Company as of any date or for any period subsequent to
December 31, 1999, or performed any audit procedures subsequent
to the date of our report on those statements.
In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that
caused us to believe that the Company was not in compliance with
any of the terms, covenants, provisions, or conditions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated November
1, 1996, in conjunction with the Revolving Home Equity Loan Asset
Backed Certificates Series 1996-2 insofar as they relate to
accounting matters. It should be noted, however, that our audit
was not directed primarily toward obtaining knowledge of such
noncompliance.
As a part of our audit, we made a study and evaluation of the
Company's system of internal accounting controls over the
Company's home equity loan portfolio, including those loans
serviced under the Agreement to the extent we considered
necessary to evaluate the system as required by generally
accepted auditing standards. In accordance with these standards,
the purpose of our study and evaluation, which included obtaining
an understanding of the accounting systems, was to determine the
nature, timing and extent of the auditing procedures necessary
for expressing an opinion on the financial statements. Our study
and evaluation also took into consideration certain of the
criteria and audit requirements in the Audit Guide for Audits of
Non-Supervised Mortgages Approved by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development. However, certain procedures included in
the audit guide are not applicable to the home equity loans being
serviced for the Trustee, and therefore, were not performed.
Our audit disclosed no exceptions or errors in records relating
to home equity loans serviced for the Trustee that, in our
opinion, Section 3.10 of the Agreement required us to report.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the
Board of Directors and management of the Company and should not
be used for any other purpose.
