The amounts due and deferred from receivables sales included unamortized
securitization assets and funds set up under the recourse requirements for
certain sales totaling $2,295.2 million at September 30, 2000 and $2,230.5
million at December 31, 1999. It also included net customer payments which we
owed to the securitization trustee of $64.5 million at September 30, 2000 and
$68.9 million at December 31, 1999.

The level of reserves for consumer credit losses is based on delinquency and
chargeoff experience by product and judgmental factors. We also evaluate the
potential impact of existing and anticipated national and regional economic
conditions on the managed receivable portfolio when establishing credit loss
reserves.


6. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate was 34.4 percent for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and 33.0 percent for the first nine months of 1999. The effective tax rate
differs from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily because of the
effects of state and local income taxes and leveraged lease tax benefits.

8. COMPANY OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARY
   TRUSTS.

We have formed special purpose trusts, including Household Capital Trust V which
was formed in June 2000, for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities.
The sole assets of these trusts are Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest
Notes ("Junior Subordinated Notes") issued by Household.

</TABLE>


The Preferred Securities must be redeemed when the Junior Subordinated Notes are
paid. The Junior Subordinated Notes have a stated maturity date, but are
redeemable by Household, in whole or in part, beginning on the dates indicated
above at which time the preferred securities are callable at par ($25 per
Preferred Security) plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends on the
Preferred Securities are cumulative, payable quarterly in arrears, and are
deferrable at Household's option for up to five years. Household cannot pay
dividends on its preferred and common stocks during such deferments. The
Preferred Securities have a liquidation value of $25 per preferred security. HCT
I may elect to extend the maturity of its preferred securities to June 2044.
Dividends on the Preferred Securities have been classified as interest expense
in our statement of income.

HCT I, HCT II, HCT IV, and HCT V (collectively, "the Trusts") are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Household. Household's obligations with respect to the Junior
Subordinated Notes, when considered together with certain undertakings of
Household with respect to the Trusts, constitute full and unconditional
guarantees by Household of the Trust's obligations under the respective
Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities are classified in our balance
sheet as company obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of
subsidiary trusts (representing the minority interests in the trusts) at their
face and redemption amount of $675 million at September 30, 2000 and $375
million at December 31, 1999.


9. FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT

As of September 30, 2000, we had entered into agreements to purchase, on a
forward basis, approximately 6.6 million shares of our common stock at a
weighted-average forward price of $39.35 per share. The agreements may be
settled either physically by purchasing the shares or on a net basis in shares
of our common stock, at our option. The agreements have terms of up to one year
but may be settled earlier at our option. During the current quarter,
settlements from these forward purchase agreements resulted in our receiving 1.2
million shares of our common stock at an average cost of $34.46 per share.


10. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income was $449.7 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2000, $418.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, $1,205.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $965.7 million for the nine

11. SEGMENT REPORTING

We have three reportable segments: Consumer, which includes our domestic
branch-based and correspondent consumer finance, private label credit card and
auto finance businesses; Credit Card, which includes our domestic MasterCard and
Visa business; and International, which includes our United Kingdom and Canadian
operations. There has been no change in the basis of our segmentation or in the
measurement of segment profit as compared with our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

12. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS No. 133"). FAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value. FAS No. 133 requires that changes in a derivative's fair value be
recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are
met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and
losses to offset the related results on the hedged item in the income statement.
FASB Statement No. 137 deferred our required adoption of FAS No. 133 to January
1, 2001. FASB Statement No. 138, which addressed a limited number of issues
causing implementation difficulties, was issued in June 2000. We estimate that
our net-of-tax cumulative-effect-type adjustment to earnings and equity as a
result of implementing FAS No. 133 will not be material.

In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125" ("FAS
No. 140"). FAS No. 140 revises the standards for accounting for securitizations
and requires certain disclosures, but carries over most of FASB Statement No.
125's provisions without amendment. FAS No. 140 is effective for all transfers
of financial assets occurring after March 31, 2001 and for disclosures relating
to securitization transactions for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
We do not believe the adoption of the non-disclosure-related provisions of FAS
No. 140 will have a significant effect on the results of our operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements, notes and tables included elsewhere in this report and in the
Household International, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999 (the "1999 Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Management's discussion and analysis may contain certain estimates
and projections that may be forward-looking in nature, as defined by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. A variety of factors may cause actual
results to differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking
statements. Factors that might cause such a difference are discussed herein and
in the 1999 Form 10-K.


OPERATIONS SUMMARY

Our net income for the third quarter of 2000 increased 13 percent to $451.2
million, from $399.9 million a year ago. Net income for the first nine months of
2000 was $1,208.0 million, a 15 percent increase from $1,047.6 million in the
year-ago period. Diluted earnings per share was $.94 in the third quarter and
$2.52 for the first nine months of 2000, compared to $.83 and $2.15 in the same
periods in 1999. Strong revenue growth, driven by significant receivable growth,
partially offset by higher operating expenses including increased technology,
marketing, e-commerce, and personnel spending, drove the improved results.

Our annualized return on average common shareholders' equity ("ROE") was 24.2
percent for the third quarter of 2000 and 22.6 percent for the first nine months
of 2000, compared to 25.3 percent and 22.2 percent in the same periods in 1999.
Our annualized return on average owned assets ("ROA") was 2.48 percent in the
third quarter of 2000 and 2.38 percent for the first nine months of 2000,
compared to 2.80 percent and 2.52 percent in the same periods in 1999. Our
annualized return on average managed assets ("ROMA") was 1.98 percent in the
third quarter of 2000 and 1.87 percent for the first nine months of 2000,
compared to 2.14 percent and 1.89 percent in the same periods in 1999.

Our normalized managed basis efficiency ratio was 33.8 percent for the third
quarter of 2000 and 35.5 percent for the first nine months of 2000 compared to
31.9 percent and 34.4 percent in the same periods in 1999. The efficiency ratio
is the ratio of operating expenses to the sum of our managed net interest margin
and other revenues less policyholders' benefits. The higher managed ratio
reflects additional technology, marketing, e-commerce, and personnel spending.


SEGMENT RESULTS

Our Consumer segment reported higher net income over the comparable prior-year
quarter and year-to-date periods. Managed receivables grew to $61.3 billion at
September 30, 2000, from $58.2 billion at June 30, 2000 and $46.9 billion at
September 30, 1999. The managed receivable growth was driven by solid growth in
real estate secured, other unsecured and auto finance receivables. In 2000, we
acquired real estate secured portfolios of $2.2 billion in March and $1.5
billion in June. ROA was 2.63 and 2.46 percent in the third quarter and first
nine months of 2000 compared to 2.74 and 2.52 percent in the year-ago periods.
ROMA was 2.26 and 2.08 percent in the third quarter and first nine months of
2000 compared to 2.27 and 2.05 percent in the year-ago periods. The improved
operating results reflect higher dollars of net interest margin partially offset
by higher salary expense, including higher sales incentive compensation, higher
marketing expenses and higher credit loss provision resulting from the increased
levels of receivables.



                                       13

Our Credit Card segment also reported improved results. Managed receivables were
$14.8 billion at September 30, 2000, $14.3 billion at June 30, 2000 and $13.1
billion at September 30, 1999. The increase over the previous quarter was
primarily due to growth in our non-prime and Union Privilege ("UP") portfolios.
Compared with the prior-year quarter, strong receivables growth in the UP
portfolio and the impact of the Renaissance acquisition was partially offset by
attrition in our legacy undifferentiated Household Bank branded portfolio on
which we have limited marketing efforts. ROA was 3.09 and 2.55 percent in the
third quarter and first nine months of 2000 compared to 3.09 and 1.86 percent in
the year-ago periods. ROMA was 1.47 and 1.15 percent in the third quarter and
first nine months of 2000 compared to 1.31 and .79 percent in the year-ago
periods. The improved operating results primarily were due to increased net
interest margin from better pricing and higher fee income which was partially
offset by higher credit loss provision and increased marketing expenses.

Our International segment reported lower earnings in the third quarter compared
to the prior-year quarter. The decrease in operating results for the quarter was
primarily due to higher provision for credit losses and negative foreign
currency translation of $4 million which were partially offset by higher net
interest margin and other revenues. Including negative foreign exchange impact
of $18 million, earnings for the nine months were comparable to prior year.
Managed receivables were $7.5 billion at September 30, 2000 and $7.4 billion at
both June 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999. Receivable balances reflect the
negative foreign exchange impact of approximately $200 million compared to the
prior quarter and $800 million compared to the prior year. When reported in
local currency, all products reported receivable growth. Higher MasterCard* and
Visa* receivables in the U.K., led by growth in marbles(TM), our Internet-based
credit card that was launched in October 1999, and the Goldfish Card, which we
issue as part of our alliance with the Centrica Group accounted for most of the
year-over-year growth. ROA was 3.19 and 2.98 percent in the third quarter and
first nine months of 2000 compared to 3.53 and 3.05 percent in the year-ago
periods. ROMA was 2.77 and 2.58 percent in the third quarter and first nine
months of 2000 compared to 3.06 and 2.62 percent in the year-ago periods.


BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Strong receivable growth drove our improved results with all consumer products
reporting year-over-year growth. Our managed receivables increased 23 percent
from a year ago to $83.5 billion. Excluding the $3.7 billion real estate secured
and the $465 million Renaissance portfolios that we acquired in the first half
of the year, receivables were up 17 percent over the prior year. Our U.S.
consumer finance business, which includes our real estate secured and other
unsecured products, reported total growth of 33 percent and internally-generated
growth of 19 percent. The strong contribution of our consumer finance business
was the result of favorable market and competitor conditions, improved customer
retention, and increased productivity from our branch sales force who continue
to benefit from our centralized lead management and point-of-sale system. Auto
finance receivables increased $1.6 billion over last year to $4.3 billion. This
business continued to benefit from favorable market conditions and an expanded
sales force. Private label receivables increased 8 percent to $11.3 billion.

MasterCard and Visa receivables were up 9 percent from last year and were up 6
percent excluding the purchased Renaissance portfolio. Our UP portfolio and our
marbles(TM) and Goldfish card portfolios in the U.K. reported solid
year-over-year growth. This growth was offset, as expected, by continued
attrition in our undifferentiated Household Bank portfolio and reflects our
strategy to de-emphasize this low margin business. Our non-prime card program
also reported strong growth. Including the receivables and accounts we purchased
as part of the Renaissance acquisition, we now have almost 3.0 million accounts
and $1.2 billion in non-prime receivables.

In the third quarter, managed receivables increased 4 percent, led by 5 percent
growth in our U.S. consumer finance business. MasterCard and Visa receivables
increased over 3 percent primarily due to growth in our UP and non-prime
portfolios. Private label receivables increased 3 percent from June 30, 2000 and
auto finance receivables increased 12 percent.

Owned receivables were $64.6 billion at September 30, 2000, up from $61.4
billion at June 30, 2000 and $49.3 billion at September 30, 1999. The level of
our owned receivables may vary from period to period depending on the timing and
size of securitization transactions.

Owned consumer two-months-and-over contractual delinquency as a percent of owned
consumer receivables was 4.29 percent at September 30, 2000, compared with 4.25
percent at June 30, 2000 and 5.24 percent at September 30, 1999. The annualized
consumer owned chargeoff ratio in the third quarter of 2000 was 3.01 percent,
compared with 3.27 percent in the prior quarter and 3.63 percent in the year-ago
quarter.

Managed consumer two-months-and-over contractual delinquency as a percent of
managed consumer receivables was 4.21 percent at September 30, 2000, compared
with 4.16 percent at June 30, 2000 and 4.89 percent at September 30, 1999. The
annualized consumer managed chargeoff ratio in the third quarter of 2000 was
3.47 percent, compared with 3.74 percent in the prior quarter and 4.09 percent
in the year-ago quarter.

The ratio of total shareholders' equity (including company obligated mandatorily
redeemable preferred securities of subsidiary trusts) to owned assets was 11.38
percent at September 30, 2000, compared with 11.51 percent at December 31, 1999.
The ratio of total shareholders' equity to managed assets was 9.06 percent at
September 30, 2000 and 8.72 percent at December 31, 1999.

The ratio of tangible equity to tangible managed assets was 7.33 percent,
compared with 6.96 percent at December 31, 1999.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our subsidiaries use cash to originate loans, purchase loans or investment
securities, and acquire businesses. Their main sources of cash are the
collection of receivable balances; maturities or sales of investment securities;
proceeds from the issuance of debt, deposits and securitization of consumer
receivables; and cash provided by operations.

In June 2000, a wholly-owned special purpose trust subsidiary issued $300
million of company obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities
(representing the minority interest in the trust).

As of September 30, 2000, we had entered into agreements to purchase, on a
forward basis, approximately 6.6 million shares of our common stock at a
weighted-average forward price of $39.35 per share. The agreements may be
settled either physically by purchasing the shares or on a net basis in shares
of our common stock, at our option. The agreements have terms of up to one year
but may be settled earlier at our option. During the current quarter,
settlements from these forward purchase agreements resulted in our receiving 1.2
million shares of our common stock at an average cost of $34.46 per share.

During the third quarter, we repurchased 1.6 million shares of our common stock,
for a total of $64.0 million. Since announcing our share repurchase program in
March 1999, we have repurchased 20.4 million shares for a total of $846.2
million.

Deposits increased to $8.5 billion at September 30, 2000 from $5.0 billion at
December 31, 1999. Commercial paper, bank and other borrowings increased to
$10.9 billion at September 30, 2000 from $10.8 billion at year-end. Senior and
senior subordinated debt (with original maturities over one year) increased to
$42.5 billion from $34.9 billion at year-end. The increase in debt levels from
year end is consistent with the increase in owned receivables.

Our securitized receivable portfolio totaled $18.9 billion at September 30,
2000, compared with $19.4 billion at December 31, 1999.

We believe the market for securities backed by receivables is a reliable,
efficient and cost-effective source of funds. At September 30, 2000, 23 percent
of our managed portfolio had been securitized compared to 27 percent a year
earlier. Although our securitized portfolio currently represents a smaller
portion of our total funding mix, we plan to continue utilizing securitizations
as a source of funding in the future.


PRO FORMA MANAGED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

Securitizations of consumer receivables have been, and will continue to be, a
source of liquidity for us. We continue to service securitized receivables after
they have been sold and retain a limited recourse liability for future credit
losses. We include revenues and credit-related expenses related to the
off-balance sheet portfolio in one line item in our owned statements of income.
Specifically, we report net interest margin, provision for credit losses, fee
income and securitization related income as a net amount in securitization
income.

We monitor our operations on a managed basis as well as on the owned basis
reported in our statements of income. The managed basis assumes that the
securitized receivables have not been sold and are still on our balance sheet.
The income and expense items discussed above are reclassified from
securitization income into the appropriate caption. Pro forma managed statements
of income, which reflect these reclassifications, are presented below. The pro
forma managed basis statement of income is not intended to reflect the
differences between our accounting policies for owned receivables and the
off-balance sheet portfolio, but merely to report net interest margin, fees and
provision for loan losses as if the securitized loans were held in our
portfolio. Therefore, net income on a pro forma managed basis equals net income
on an owned basis.

The following discussion on revenues, where applicable, and provision for credit
losses includes comparisons to amounts reported on our historical owned
statements of income ("Owned Basis"), as well as on the above pro forma managed
statements of income ("Managed Basis").

NET INTEREST MARGIN

Net interest margin on an Owned Basis was $1,213.2 million for the third quarter
of 2000, up from $999.0 million for the prior-year quarter. Net interest margin
on an Owned Basis for the first nine months of 2000 was $3,466.8 million, up
from $2,787.8 million in the prior-year period. Net interest margin on a Managed
Basis increased 17 percent for both the quarter and nine months to $1,643.3 and
$4,763.6 million, respectively. The increases were primarily due to better
pricing and receivable growth, which were partially offset by higher funding
costs.



                                       17
<PAGE>   19

Net interest margin as a percent of average managed interest-earning assets,
annualized, declined to 7.95 percent, from 8.17 percent in the previous quarter
and 8.36 percent in the year-ago quarter. The decrease from the previous periods
reflect the continued shift in the portfolio to lower margin real estate secured
receivables and higher funding costs due to increases in interest rates.
Compared to the prior year, the margin also reflects improved pricing in our
consumer finance and MasterCard and Visa portfolios.

Managed Basis risk adjusted margin, which is net interest margin and other
revenues adjusted for securitization income and net charge-offs, was 7.45
percent and 7.54 percent for the third quarter and first nine months of 2000
compared to 7.41 percent and 7.29 percent in the comparable prior-year periods.
The increases are the result of reductions in chargeoff rates, partially offset
by the previously discussed reductions in net interest margin.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The provision for credit losses for receivables on an Owned Basis for the third
quarter of 2000 totaled $524.4 million, compared to $438.1 million in the
prior-year quarter. The Owned Basis provision for the first nine months of 2000
was $1,542.1 million, compared to $1,263.2 million in the year-ago period. The
provision as a percent of average owned receivables, annualized, was 3.30
percent in the third quarter of 2000, compared to 3.59 percent in the third
quarter of 1999. The provision for credit losses on an Owned Basis may vary from
quarter to quarter, depending on the amount of securitizations in a particular
period.

The provision for credit losses for receivables on a Managed Basis totaled
$774.9 million in the third quarter of 2000, compared to $741.1 million in the
prior-year quarter. The Managed Basis provision for the first nine months of
2000 was $2,335.4 million, compared to $2,043.7 million in the year-ago period.
As a percent of average managed receivables, annualized, the provision was 3.79
percent in the third quarter of 2000, compared to 4.46 percent in the third
quarter of 1999. The Managed Basis provision includes the over-the-life reserve
requirement on the off-balance sheet portfolio. This provision is impacted by
the type and amount of receivables securitized in a given period and
substantially offsets the income recorded on the securitization transactions.
See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for the type and amount of receivables
securitized and "Credit Quality" for further discussion of factors affecting the
provision for credit losses.

OTHER REVENUES

Securitization income on an Owned Basis was $379.9 and $1,081.9 million for the
third quarter and the first nine months of 2000, compared to $357.9 and $995.3
million for the same periods in 1999. Securitization income consists of income
associated with the securitization and sale of receivables with limited
recourse, including net interest income, fee and other income and provision for
credit losses related to those receivables. The increases are primarily due to
increases in average securitized receivables and portfolio mix. The components
of securitization income are reclassified to the appropriate caption in the
Statements of Income on a Managed Basis.

Insurance revenues were $146.7 and $413.5 million in the third quarter and first
nine months of 2000 compared to $130.6 and $405.4 million in the year-ago
periods. The increase reflected increased sales on a larger portfolio.

Fee income on an Owned Basis, which includes revenues from fee-based products
such as credit cards, was $216.2 and $591.4 million in the third quarter and
first nine months of 2000, compared to $155.7 and $421.2 million in the year-ago
periods. The increases were primarily due to higher credit card fees from our
non-prime credit card portfolio.

Fee income on a Managed Basis was $380.3 and $1,066.4 million in the third
quarter and first nine months of 2000 compared to $309.8 and $861.1 million in
the year-ago periods. The increases were primarily due to higher credit card
fees as discussed above.

Securitization related income on a Managed Basis, which includes the gross gains
and amortization on our securitized portfolio, was $36.2 and $103.4 million in
the third quarter and first nine months of 2000 compared to $95.9 and $54.5
million in the year-ago periods. Securitization related income will vary from
quarter to quarter depending upon the amount and mix of securitizations in a
particular period.


                                       18

Other income was $30.1 and $195.3 million in the third quarter and first nine
months of 2000 compared to $32.4 and $180.0 million in the prior-year periods.
The increase for the nine months was primarily due to higher income in our tax
refund anticipation loan business. Increases in both the number of refund
anticipation loans and the average balance of such loans was partially offset by
reduced pricing.

EXPENSES

Total costs and expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2000
were $814.8 and $2,492.3 million compared to $687.8 and $2,091.6 million in the
comparable prior-year periods. Higher expenses were driven by higher receivable
levels and increased operating, technology, marketing, e-commerce, and personnel
spending. Acquisitions during the first half of the year also contributed to
increased expenses over the comparable prior-year periods. Significant
fluctuations were as follows:

Salaries and fringe benefits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2000
were $333.0 and $956.6 million compared to $262.6 and $778.5 million in the
third quarter and first nine months of 1999. The increases were primarily due to
additional staffing to support growth in the consumer finance and credit card
businesses and the impact of acquisitions.

Sales incentives for the third quarter and first nine months of 2000 were $53.1
and $153.3 million compared to $42.1 and $108.9 million in the comparable
prior-year periods. The increases were due to higher sales volumes in our
branches.

Occupancy and equipment expense for the third quarter and first nine months of
2000 was $78.4 and $229.5 million compared to $66.6 and $200.0 million in the
comparable prior-year periods. The increases were primarily associated with our
Tampa, Florida collections center and facilities acquired with acquisitions in
the first half of the year. These facilities have supported our strong
receivable growth.

Other marketing expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2000
were $108.2 and $366.6 million compared to $91.5 and $264.0 million in the
comparable prior-year periods. The increases were primarily due to increased
credit card marketing initiatives.

Other servicing and administrative expenses for the third quarter and first nine
months of 2000 were $136.0 and $466.9 million compared to $128.5 and $433.4
million in the comparable prior-year periods. The increases were primarily due
to e-commerce initiatives and increased costs resulting from the Renaissance and
real estate secured loan portfolio acquisitions.

Amortization of acquired intangibles and goodwill for the third quarter and
first nine months of 2000 was $39.0 and $121.1 million compared to $35.5 and
$107.8 million in the comparable prior-year periods. The increases reflect
higher goodwill amortization resulting from the Renaissance acquisition.


CREDIT LOSS RESERVES

Our consumer credit management policies focus on product type and specific
portfolio risk factors. When evaluating credit risk, we believe that it is
important to also consider risk adjusted revenue because our biggest economic
protection against credit loss is the ability to price for it. Risk adjusted
margin on a Managed Basis was 7.45 percent and 7.54 percent for the third
quarter and first nine months of 2000 compared to 7.41 percent and 7.29 percent
in the comparable prior-year periods. Our consumer credit portfolio is
diversified by product and geographic location. See Note 4, "Receivables" in the
accompanying financial statements for receivables by product type and Note 5,
"Credit Loss Reserves," for our credit loss reserve methodology and an analysis
of changes in the credit loss reserves for the quarter.

Reserve ratios at September 30, 2000 reflect improved credit quality and
underwriting and the impact of a growing percentage of secured loans which have
lower loss rates than unsecured loans. Real estate secured receivables represent
42 percent of our total managed receivables at September 30, 2000 and June 30,
2000, compared to 37 percent at September 30, 1999.


CREDIT QUALITY

We track delinquency and chargeoff levels on a managed basis and we apply the
same credit and portfolio management procedures as on our owned portfolio.

</TABLE>


Managed delinquency as a percent of managed consumer receivables increased
slightly during the quarter, but was substantially lower than the prior-year
quarter. The modest sequential increase in delinquency during the quarter is due
to normal aging of our portfolios and seasonality in our auto finance portfolio.





                                       20
<PAGE>   22

Improvements in our real estate secured, private label and other unsecured
portfolios drove the decrease in the delinquency ratio from a year ago. In our
real estate secured portfolio, we continue to benefit from the growing
percentage of loans on which we hold a first lien position. Additional
collection staff in our private label and other unsecured businesses has
resulted in decreased delinquency. Delinquency in our MasterCard and Visa
portfolio has increased over the prior year as a result of the increase in the
non-prime portfolio.

The trends impacting owned consumer delinquency as a percent of owned
receivables are generally consistent with those described above for our managed
portfolio. Owned delinquency by product is comparable to managed except for
MasterCard and Visa and other unsecured whose owned delinquency is greater due
to the retention of receivables on balance sheet that do not meet the
eligibility criteria for securitization.

Managed net chargeoffs as a percent of average managed consumer receivables for
the third quarter of 2000 decreased from both the prior quarter and the
prior-year quarter. Dollars of chargeoff also declined from both prior periods.
Our MasterCard and Visa portfolio continues to benefit from lower bankruptcy
rates and higher recoveries partially offset by higher chargeoffs in our
non-prime credit card portfolio. Our private label and other unsecured
portfolios reflect the benefits of improved collections resulting from the
addition of collection staff. The sequential increase in our auto finance
portfolio is attributable to seasonality and aging of the portfolio.

The trends impacting owned net chargeoffs as a percent of owned receivables are
generally consistent with those described above for our managed portfolio. Owned
chargeoffs for our real estate secured and private label products are comparable
to managed chargeoffs. Chargeoffs for MasterCard and Visa and other unsecured
receivables on an owned basis are higher due to the difference in credit quality
and seasoning of the receivables which remain on our balance sheet. Chargeoffs
for auto finance receivables on an owned basis are lower due to the
predominantly unseasoned nature of the receivables which remain on balance
sheet.
