9.Summary Delinquency Aging Information
In March 1999, Sears completed the second phase of its conversion
to the Total Systems Services, Inc. (TSYS) account processing system,
bringing the total converted in the first two phases to approximately 50%
of the accounts in the Sears Portfolio, affecting approximately 42% of the
receivable balances in the Trust at the end of the March Due Period. The
accounts converted were selected without regard to whether they were in
the Trust. For a further discussion of Sears change to a new aging
methodology in connection with the conversion of its receivables processing
system to the TSYS account processing system, see the Trust's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated May 14, 1998.
The Accounts in the Trust have the following delinquency distribution:
March 1999
Non-Converted Converted
Delinquencies as a % of balances (1) Accounts (2) Accounts (3)
60 - 89 days past due...................1.62% 2.25%
90 - 119 days past due..................1.29% 1.59%
120 days or more past due...............2.90% 4.14%
Total Delinquencies 5.81% 7.98%
(1) The delinquency rate is calculated by dividing the delinquent balances
as of the end of the Due Period by the balance of receivables in the Trust at
the beginning of the Due Period.
(2) Under Sears proprietary receivables processing system, in general, Sears
and the Bank consider an account delinquent when its cumulative past due
balance is three or more times the scheduled minimum monthly payment. The
data in this column reflect the percentage of Account balances for which the
cumulative past due amount is three, four and five or more times,
respectively, the scheduled minimum monthly payment.
(3) Under the TSYS processing system, Sears and the Bank determine
delinquency levels for accounts using an aging methodology that is based on
the number of completed billing cycles during which the customer failed to
make a required payment. The data in this column reflect the percentage of
Account balances for which the customer has failed to make a required payment
in each of the last three, four and five or more billing cycles,
respectively. The performance of the converted accounts may not be
representative of the total Sears Portfolio or the Accounts in the
Trust.

9.Summary Delinquency Aging Information
In March 1999, Sears completed the second phase of its conversion
to the Total Systems Services, Inc. (TSYS) account processing system,
bringing the total converted in the first two phases to approximately 50%
of the accounts in the Sears Portfolio, affecting approximately 42% of the
receivable balances in the Trust at the end of the March Due Period. The
accounts converted were selected without regard to whether they were in
the Trust. For a further discussion of Sears change to a new aging
methodology in connection with the conversion of its receivables processing
system to the TSYS account processing system, see the Trust's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated May 14, 1998.
The Accounts in the Trust have the following delinquency distribution:
March 1999
Non-Converted Converted
Delinquencies as a % of balances (1) Accounts (2) Accounts (3)
60 - 89 days past due...................1.62% 2.25%
90 - 119 days past due... ..............1.29% 1.59%
120 days or more past due...............2.90% 4.14%
Total Delinquencies 5.81% 7.98%
(1) The delinquency rate is calculated by dividing the delinquent balances
as of the end of the Due Period by the balance of receivables in the Trust at
the beginning of the Due Period.
(2) Under Sears proprietary receivables processing system, in general, Sears
and the Bank consider an account delinquent when its cumulative past due
balance is three or more times the scheduled minimum monthly payment. The
data in this column reflect the percentage of Account balances for which the
cumulative past due amount is three, four and five or more times,
respectively, the scheduled minimum monthly payment.
(3) Under theTSYS processing system, Sears and the Bank determine
delinquency levels for accounts using an aging methodology that is based on
the number of completed billing cycles during which the customer failed to
make a required payment. The data in this column reflect the percentage of
Account balances for which the customer has failed to make a required payment
in each of the last three, four and five or more billing cycles,
respectively. The performance of the converted accounts may not be
representative of the total Sears Portfolio or the Accounts in the Trust.

9.Summary Delinquency Aging Information
In March 1999, Sears completed the second phase of its conversion
to the Total Systems Services, Inc. (TSYS) account processing system,
bringing the total converted in the first two phases to approximately 50%
of the accounts in the Sears Portfolio, affecting approximately 42% of the
receivable balances in the Trust at the end of the March Due Period. The
accounts converted were selected without regard to whether they were in
the Trust. For a further discussion of Sears change to a new aging
methodology in connection with the conversion of its receivables processing
system to the TSYS account processing system, see the Trust's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated May 14, 1998.
The Accounts in the Trust have the following delinquency distribution:
March 1999
Non-Converted Converted
Delinquencies as a % of balances (1) Accounts (2) Accounts (3)
60 - 89 days past due..................1.62% 2.25%
90 - 119 days past due.................1.29% 1.59%
120 days or more past due..............2.90% 4.14%
Total Delinquencies 5.81% 7.98%
(1) The delinquency rate is calculated by dividing the delinquent balances
as of the end of the Due Period by the balance of receivables in the Trust at
the beginning of the Due Period.
(2) Under Sears proprietary receivables processing system, in general, Sears
and the Bank consider an account delinquent when its cumulative past due
balance is three or more times the scheduled minimum monthly payment. The
data in this column reflect the percentage of Account balances for which the
cumulative past due amount is three, four and five or more times,
respectively, the scheduled minimum monthly payment.
(3) Under the TSYS processing system, Sears and the Bank determine
delinquency levels for accounts using an aging methodology that is based on
the number of completed billing cycles during which the customer failed to
make a required payment. The data in this column reflect the percentage of
Account balances for which the customer has failed to make a required payment
in each of the last three, four and five or more billing cycles,
respectively. The performance of the converted accounts may not be
representative of the total Sears Portfolio or the Accounts in the
Trust.

9.Summary Delinquency Aging Information
In March 1999, Sears completed the second phase of its conversion
to the Total Systems Services, Inc. (TSYS) account processing system,
bringing the total converted in the first two phases to approximately 50%
of the accounts in the Sears Portfolio, affecting approximately 42% of the
receivable balances in the Trust at the end of the March Due Period. The
accounts converted were selected without regard to whether they were in
the Trust. For a further discussion of Sears change to a new aging
methodology in connection with the conversion of its receivables processing
system to the TSYS account processing system, see the Trust's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated May 14, 1998.
The Accounts in the Trust have the following delinquency distribution:
March 1999
Non-Converted Converted
Delinquencies as a % of balances (1) Accounts (2) Accounts (3)
60 - 89 days past due.................1.62% 2.25%
90 - 119 days past due................1.29% 1.59%
120 days or more past due.............2.90% 4.14%
Total Delinquencies 5.81% 7.98%
(1) The delinquency rate is calculated by dividing the delinquent balances
as of the end of the Due Period by the balance of receivables in the Trust at
the beginning of the Due Period.
(2) Under Sears proprietary receivables processing system, in general, Sears
and the Bank consider an account delinquent when its cumulative past due
balance is three or more times the scheduled minimum monthly payment. The
data in this column reflect the percentage of Account balances
for which the cumulative past due amount is three, four and five or more
times, respectively, the scheduled minimum monthly payment.
(3) Under the TSYS processing system, Sears and the Bank determine
delinquency levels for accounts using an aging methodology that is based on
the number of completed billing cycles during which the customer failed to
make a required payment. The data in this column reflect the percentage of
Account balances for which the customer has failed to make a required payment
in each of the last three, four and five or more billing cycles,
respectively. The performance of the converted accounts may not be
representative of the total Sears Portfolio or the Accounts in the
Trust.

9.Summary Delinquency Aging Information
In March 1999, Sears completed the second phase of its conversion
to the Total Systems Services, Inc. (TSYS) account processing system,
bringing the total converted in the first two phases to approximately 50%
of the accounts in the Sears Portfolio, affecting approximately 42% of the
receivable balances in the Trust at the end of the March Due Period. The
accounts converted were selected without regard to whether they were in
the Trust. For a further discussion of Sears change to a new aging
methodology in connection with the conversion of its receivables processing
system to the TSYS account processing system, see the Trust's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated May 14, 1998.
The Accounts in the Trust have the following delinquency distribution:
March 1999
Non-Converted Converted
Delinquencies as a % of balances (1) Accounts (2) Accounts (3)
60 - 89 days past due..................1.62% 2.25%
90 - 119 days past due.................1.29% 1.59%
120 days or more past due..............2.90% 4.14%
Total Delinquencies 5.81% 7.98%
(1) The delinquency rate is calculated by dividing the delinquent balances
as of the end of the Due Period by the balance of receivables in the Trust at
the beginning of the Due Period.
(2) Under Sears proprietary receivables processing system, in general, Sears
and the Bank consider an account delinquent when its cumulative past due
balance is three or more times the scheduled minimum monthly payment. The
data in this column reflect the percentage of Account balances
for which the cumulative past due amount is three, four and five or more
times, respectively, the scheduled minimum monthly payment.
(3) Under the TSYS processing system, Sears and the Bank determine
delinquency levels for accounts using an aging methodology that is based on
the number of completed billing cycles during which the customer failed to
make a required payment. The data in this column reflect the percentage of
Account balances for which the customer has failed to make a required payment
in each of the last three, four and five or more billing cycles,
respectively. The performance of the converted accounts may not be
