Annual Servicing Report dated March 26, 1998.
Independent Accountants' Report on Applying Agreed-Upon
Procedures
To Household Finance Corporation:
We have performed procedures enumerated below in items A.
and B. in conjunction with Section 3.06 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated August 1, 1993, as amended and
supplemented (the "Agreement").
A. We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated financial statements of
Household Finance Corporation (the "Servicer") and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and have issued our
report thereon dated January 23, 1998. We have not audited
any financial statements of the Servicer as of any date or
for any period subsequent to December 31, 1997, 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 Servicer was
not in compliance with any of the terms, covenants,
provisions, or conditions in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04,
3.09, 3.10, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, and 8.08 (to the extent such
sections are applicable to Household Finance Corporation as
Servicer) of the Agreement, or Sections 3, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10,
4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, and 4.17 (to the extent
such sections are applicable to Household Finance
Corporation as Servicer) of the Series 1993-B, Series 1993-
1, Series 1993-2, Series 1993-3, Series 1994-1, Series 1994-
2, Series 1995-1, Series 1996-A, Series 1996-B, Series 1997-
A, Series 1997-B, and Series 1997-1 Supplements, in
conjunction with the servicing of consumer revolving credit
card receivables owned by the Household Affinity Credit Card
Master Trust I 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 obtained an understanding
of the Servicer's internal control structure over the
Servicer's entire consumer revolving credit card portfolio,
including those loans serviced under the Agreement, and the
related Supplements, to the extent considered necessary in
order to assess control risk as required by generally
accepted auditing standards. The purpose of our
consideration of the internal control structure, which
includes the accounting systems, was to determine the
nature, timing, and extent of the auditing procedures
necessary for expressing an opinion on the financial
statements. Such audit procedures, however, were not
performed in order to express a separate opinion on the
Household Affinity Credit Card Master Trust I.
Our audit disclosed no exceptions or errors in
records relating to credit card receivables serviced by the
Servicer that, in our opinion, Section 3.06 of the Agreement
required us to report.
B. We have performed the procedure described in the
following paragraph, which was agreed to by the management
of the Servicer, the Bank of New York as Trustee, and the
Credit Enhancement Provider (together, the "Specified
Users"), with respect to Section 3.06 of the Agreement, in
conjunction with the servicing of consumer revolving credit
card receivables owned by the Household Affinity Credit Card
Master Trust I. This agreed-upon procedure was performed in
accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency
of the procedure is solely the responsibility of the
Specified Users of the report. Consequently, we make no
representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedure
described below either for the purpose for which this report
has been requested or for any other purpose.
The procedure and associated findings are as follows:
From the Monthly Servicer's Certificates prepared by
the Servicer between January, 1997 and December, 1997, we
selected the following months and performed the following:
We compared the mathematical calculation of each
amount set forth in the Monthly Servicer's Certificates to
the Servicer's computer reports for the month of April,
1996, for Series 1993-B, Series 1993-1, Series 1993-2,
Series 1993-3, Series 1994-1, Series 1994-2, Series 1995-1,
Series 1996-A, Series 1996-B, Series 1997-A, Series 1997-B,
and Series 1997-1 and found them to be in agreement. Our
comparisons were based on records provided to us by the
Servicer and the methodology set forth in the Agreement.
With respect to the procedure performed in item B. above, we
were not engaged to, and did not, perform an audit, the
objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on
the Monthly Servicer's Certificates described above.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we been
engaged to perform additional procedures, other matters
might have come to our attention that would have been
reported to you.
This report is intended solely for the information and use
of the Specified Users and should not be used for any other
purpose.
