PART I.

Item 1. Business.

General

Household International, Inc. ("Household") is principally a non-operating
holding company. Household's subsidiaries primarily provide middle-market
consumers with several types of loan products in the United States, the United
Kingdom and Canada. Household and its subsidiaries (including the operations
of Beneficial Corporation ("Beneficial") which we acquired in 1998) may also
be referred to in this Form 10-K as "we," "us" or "our." We offer real estate
secured loans, auto finance loans, MasterCard and Visa* credit cards, private
label credit cards, tax refund anticipation loans, retail installment sales
finance loans and other types of unsecured loans, as well as credit and
specialty insurance. At December 31, 2000, we had approximately 28,000
employees and served over 48 million customers with $87.6 billion in managed
receivables and $67.4 billion in owned receivables. Information that is
reported on a managed basis relates to receivables that have been sold and
which we service with limited recourse ("securitize"), together with
receivables that appear on our balance sheet. Information that is reported on
an owned basis relates to the assets and liabilities we have on our balance
sheet. Owned assets may vary from period to period depending on the timing and
size of securitizations.

Household was created as a holding company in 1981 as a result of a
shareholder approved restructuring of Household Finance Corporation ("HFC"),
which was established in 1878. Our operational focus is on those areas of
consumer lending that we believe offer us the best opportunity to achieve the
highest returns on our capital. From late 1994 through 1997 we exited several
businesses that were providing insufficient returns on our investment, such as
our first mortgage origination and servicing business in the United States and
Canada, our individual life and annuity business, our consumer branch banking
business and our student loan business. Since 1997, we have:

. strengthened our consumer lending operation with the acquisition of
Transamerica Financial Services Holding Company;

. expanded our auto lending operation with the acquisition of ACC Consumer
Finance Corporation;

. merged with Beneficial, a consumer finance holding company;

. took steps to reposition our United States MasterCard and Visa credit
card business to de-emphasize undifferentiated credit card programs and;

. purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Decision One Holding
Company LLC, a privately-held originator of non-conforming first and
second mortgage loans that packages such loans for sale to investors.

2000 Developments and Results. Continuing our operational focus, the
following developments and results occurred during 2000:

. In February 2000, we purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of
Renaissance Holdings, Inc., a privately held issuer of secured and
unsecured credit cards to non-prime customers, for approximately $300
million in common stock and cash.

. We took advantage of consolidation in the home equity lending industry by
acquiring real estate secured portfolios of $2.2 billion in March and
$1.5 billion in June.

. Our managed assets increased to $97.0 billion at year-end 2000 from $80.2
billion at year-end 1999 and $72.6 billion at year-end 1998. Our owned
assets increased to $76.7 billion at year-end 2000 from $60.7 billion at
year-end 1999 and $52.9 billion at year-end 1998.

. In connection with our $2 billion share repurchase program, we
repurchased 5.4 million shares of Household common stock for $209.3
million in 2000. Since announcing our share repurchase program in

March of 1999, we have repurchased 22.2 million shares for a total of
$922.2 million.

. Our net income was $1.7 billion in 2000, compared to $1.5 billion in 1999
and $.5 billion in 1998. Excluding merger and integration related costs
of $751.0 million after-tax and the $118.5 million after-tax gain on sale
of Beneficial's Canadian operations, operating net income in 1998 was
$1.2 billion.

. Diluted earnings per share was $3.55 in 2000, compared to $3.07 in 1999
and $1.03 in 1998. Excluding merger and integration related costs of
$751.0 million after-tax and the $118.5 million after-tax gain on sale of
Beneficial's Canadian operations, diluted operating earnings per share
was $2.30 in 1998.

Consumers residing in the state of California account for 16 percent of our
managed consumer portfolio in the United States. No other state has more than
seven percent concentration of this portfolio.

Financial information with respect to Household and its segments is set
forth in our Annual Report to Shareholders (the "2000 Annual Report"),
portions of which are incorporated herein by reference. See pages 26 through
85 of our 2000 Annual Report. Our products, operating markets and marketing
methods are described under OPERATIONS in this Form 10-K.

Operations

Our operations are divided into three reportable segments: Consumer, Credit
Card Services, and International. Our Consumer segment includes our consumer
lending, retail services and auto finance businesses. Our Credit Card Services
segment includes our domestic MasterCard and Visa credit card business. Our
International segment includes our foreign operations in the United Kingdom
and Canada. Information about operating segments that are not individually
reportable includes our insurance, tax services and commercial operations, as
well as our corporate and treasury activities which are included in the "All
Other" caption within our segment disclosure.

General

Across all reportable segments, we generally target non-conforming or non-
prime consumers. Such customers are individuals who have limited credit
histories, modest income, high debt-to-income ratios or have experienced
credit problems caused by occasional delinquencies, prior chargeoffs or other
credit related actions. These customers generally have higher delinquency and
credit loss probabilities and are charged a higher interest rate to compensate
us for the additional risk.

We have taken substantial measures to enhance our ability to maximize the
profitability of our segments. We use our centralized underwriting, collection
and processing functions to adapt our credit standards and collection efforts
to market conditions. Our underwriting, loan administration and collection
functions are supported by highly automated systems and processing facilities.
Our centralized collection system is augmented by personalized early
collection efforts. Maximizing our technology and otherwise streamlining our
operations and reducing our costs has enabled us to improve our efficiency
through specialization and economies of scale and allows us to operate more
efficiently than most of our competitors.

We also service each customer with a focus to expand that customer's
relationship with Household. Cross-selling of products, aggressive credit
management, "hands-on" customer care and targeted product marketing are means
we use to retain customers and grow our business.

Consumer

Our consumer lending business has been ranked by Inside B & C Lending as
the second largest subprime home equity originator in the United States based
upon their estimates and 2000 receivables volume as reported to them by such
lenders. Collectively, this business has over 1,400 branches located in 46
states and 3.4 million open customer accounts. It is marketed under both the
HFC and Beneficial brand names, each of which caters to a slightly different
type of customer in the middle-market population. Both brands offer secured
and unsecured

4


products. These products are marketed through our retail branch network,
direct mail, telemarketing and Internet applications. In addition, we
originate loans through a network of over 200 correspondents under the
Household brand.

According to the latest publication of The Nilson Report, we are the second
largest provider of third party private label credit cards in the United
States based on managed receivables outstanding. The private label business of
our consumer segment has over 60 active merchant relationships with
approximately $9.9 billion in managed receivables and 8.5 million active
customer accounts. Approximately 32 percent of our private label receivables
are in the electronics industry, 35 percent are in the furniture industry, 11
percent are in the home products industry and 12 percent are in the
powersports vehicle industry. These products are generated through merchant
promotions, application displays, direct mail, telemarketing and Internet
applications.

Our auto finance business provides retail installment financing for the
purchase of new and used vehicles for consumers who do not have access to
traditional, prime-based lending sources. We also refinance existing auto
loans. Based on volume, we are one of the largest non-captive non-prime
automobile lenders in the United States. Our auto finance business generates
loan volume primarily through dealer relationships from which installment
contracts are purchased. Loans are also directly originated through alliance
partner referrals, direct mail and Internet applications.

Credit Card Services

Our Credit Card Services business includes our MasterCard and Visa
receivables in the United States, including the GM Card(R), the Union
Privilege ("UP") credit card, a Household Bank branded card, and the Orchard
Bank card. The GM Card(R), a co-branded credit card issued as part of our
alliance with General Motors Corporation ("GM"), enables customers to earn
discounts on the purchase or lease of a new GM vehicle. The UP card program
with the AFL-CIO provides benefits and services to members of 67 national and
international labor unions. Both the Household Bank and Orchard Bank branded
credit cards offer specialized credit card products to consumers underserved
by traditional providers. The GM Card(R) and UP card programs represent 46
percent and 29 percent, respectively, of the managed receivables in this
segment.

Our MasterCard and Visa business is generated primarily through direct
mail, telemarketing, Internet applications, application displays and
promotional activity associated with our affinity and co-branding
relationships. We also market our credit cards to our existing real estate
secured, private label and tax refund anticipation loan customers.

International

Our United Kingdom operations offer secured and unsecured lines of credit,
secured and unsecured closed-end loans, insurance products and credit cards
(including the GM Card(R) from Vauxhall and marbles(TM), an Internet enabled
credit card developed in connection with Freeserve, the United Kingdom's
largest Internet service provider). Such operations are conducted in England,
Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland. Loans are
marketed under the "HFC", "Beneficial" and "Hamilton Direct" brand names
through 181 branches, various merchants, direct mail and the Internet. Our
Canadian business offers consumer loans, mortgages, revolving credit and
retail finance and accepts deposits. Their products include real estate
secured and unsecured lines of credit, secured and unsecured closed-end loans
and private label credit cards. These products are marketed through 99 branch
offices in 10 provinces, direct mail, telemarketing and the Internet.

All Other

We also offer credit life, credit accident, health and disability, term and
specialty insurance products to our customers. Such products currently are
offered throughout the United States and Canada. Insurance is directly written
by or reinsured with one or more of our subsidiaries. Our tax refund
anticipation loan ("RAL") business is a cooperative program with H&R Block Tax
Services, Inc. and certain of its franchises, along with other

5


independent tax preparers, to provide loans to customers who are entitled to
federal tax refunds and who electronically file their federal income tax
returns with the United States Internal Revenue Service. Our remaining
commercial operations have continued to decline in size.

Funding

As a financial services organization, we must have access to funds at
competitive rates, terms and conditions to be successful. We fund our
operations in the global capital markets, primarily through the use of
securitizations, commercial paper, Federal funds borrowings, certificates of
deposit, bank lines, thrift notes, medium-term notes and long-term debt. We
also use derivative financial instruments to hedge our currency and interest
rate exposure. A description of our use of derivative financial instruments,
including interest rate swaps, foreign exchange contracts, and other
quantitative and qualitative information about our market risk is set forth on
pages 39 through 43, and 69 through 73 of our 2000 Annual Report. We also
maintain an investment portfolio which at year-end 2000 was approximately $3.3
billion. Approximately $1.7 billion of such investment securities were held by
our insurance subsidiaries. At year-end 2000, Household's long-term debt,
together with that of HFC, Beneficial, Household Bank, f.s.b. (the "Bank") and
our Canadian and U.K. subsidiaries, as well as the preferred stock of
Household, have been assigned investment grade ratings by all nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations that rate such instruments. These
organizations have also rated the commercial paper of HFC in their highest
rating category. For a detailed listing of the ratings that have been assigned
to Household and our significant subsidiaries, see Exhibit 99(b) to this Form
10-K.

Securitizations of consumer receivables have been, and will continue to be,
a source of our liquidity. During 2000 we securitized approximately $7.0
billion of receivables compared to $5.2 billion in 1999 and $3.6 billion in
1998. Additional information on our sources and availability of funding are
incorporated by reference to pages 39 through 42 of our 2000 Annual Report.

Regulation and Competition

Regulation. Our consumer lending businesses operate in a highly regulated
environment. Those businesses are subject to laws relating to discrimination
in extending credit, use of credit reports, privacy matters, disclosure of
credit terms and correction of billing errors. Our consumer branch lending
offices are also subject to certain regulations and legislation that limit
their operations in certain jurisdictions. For example, limitations may be
placed on the amount of interest or fees that a loan may bear, the amount that
may be borrowed, the types of actions that may be taken to collect or
foreclose upon delinquent loans or the information about a customer that may
be shared. Our consumer branch lending offices are generally licensed in those
jurisdictions in which they operate. Such licenses have limited terms but are
renewable, and are revocable for cause. Our private label operations are
conducted through state-licensed companies and our credit card banks.

The Bank is chartered by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and is a
member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. It is subject to examination and
supervision by the OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
It is also subject to federal regulations concerning its general investment
authority as well as its ability to acquire financial institutions, enter into
transactions with affiliates and pay dividends. Such regulations also govern
the permissible activities and investments of its subsidiaries. It is also
subject to regulatory requirements setting forth minimum capital and liquidity
levels. Because of our ownership of the Bank, Household is a savings and loan
holding company subject to reporting and other regulations of the OTS.
Household and HFC have agreed with the OTS to maintain the regulatory capital
of the Bank at certain specified levels. Our national credit card banks are
chartered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and are members of
the Federal Reserve System. National banks are generally subject to the same
type of regulatory supervision and restrictions as the Bank, but our national
banks only engage in credit card operations. The deposit accounts of the Bank
and our credit card banks are insured up to $100,000 by the FDIC.

The Bank and our credit card banks are also subject to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") and the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"). Among
other things, FDICIA created a five-tiered system of capital measurement for
regulatory purposes, placed limits on the ability of depository institutions
to acquire brokered deposits, and gave

6


broad powers to federal banking regulators, in particular the FDIC, to require
undercapitalized institutions to adopt and implement a capital restoration
plan and to restrict or prohibit a number of activities, including the payment
of cash dividends, which may impair or threaten the capital adequacy of the
insured depository institution. Federal banking regulators may apply
corrective measures to an insured depository institution, even if it is
adequately capitalized, if such institution is determined to be operating in
an unsafe or unsound condition or engaging in an unsafe or unsound activity.
In addition, federal banking regulatory agencies have adopted safety and
soundness standards governing operational and managerial activities of insured
depository institutions and their holding companies regarding internal
controls, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure,
asset growth and compensation. Under FIRREA, the FDIC may assess an affiliated
insured depository institution for the estimated losses incurred by the FDIC
upon the default of any affiliated insured institution.

On February 10, 1999, the four federal bank regulatory agencies revised
their joint "retail credit classification policy" which establishes guidelines
for classification of credit based on delinquency status and mandates
specified timeframes for recognizing losses in consumer loan portfolios. This
policy applies to any consumer loan held in our credit card banks or the Bank
and became effective in stages that began April 1, 1999. Substantially all of
the policy changes impacting our credit card banks or the Bank became
effective on October 1, 2000. The application of the new rules did not have a
material adverse impact on our financial statements or the way we manage our
business.

Our credit insurance business is subject to regulatory supervision under
the laws of the states in which it operates. Regulations vary from state to
state but generally cover licensing of insurance companies, premium and loss
rates, dividend restrictions, types of insurance that may be sold, permissible
investments, policy reserve requirements, and insurance marketing practices.

Competition. The consumer financial services industry in which we operate
is highly fragmented and intensely competitive. We compete with banks, thrifts
and other financial institutions in the United States, Canada and the United
Kingdom. We also compete with other finance companies, credit unions and
retailers. Generally, competition is in the form of "teaser" rates (below
market rates to entice customers to a product), expanded credit opportunities
(relaxed underwriting standards) or value added services. We compete by
developing a variety of consumer products to target specific market segments,
maintaining a strong service orientation and developing innovative marketing
alliances.

Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed throughout this Form 10-K or in the information
incorporated herein by reference may constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are based on our current views and assumptions, and involve risks
and uncertainties that could cause our results to be materially different than
those anticipated. The following important factors could affect our actual
results and could cause such results to vary materially from those expressed
herein or in any other document filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission:

. changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting
standards;

. changes in overall economic conditions, including the interest rate
environment in which we operate, the capital markets in which we fund our
operations, recession, employment and currency fluctuations;

. consumer perception of the availability of credit, including price
competition in the market segments we target and the ramifications or
ease of filing for personal bankruptcy;

. the effectiveness of models or programs to predict loan delinquency or
loss and initiatives to improve collections in all business areas;

. continued consumer acceptance of our distribution systems and demand for
our loan or insurance products;

7


. changes associated with, as well as the difficulty in integrating
systems, operational functions and cultures of any organization acquired
by Household;

. the continued repositioning of our MasterCard/Visa business to further
penetrate selected consumer segments; and

. the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel to expand all of
our businesses.

Item 2. Properties.

Our operations are located throughout the United States, in 10 provinces in
Canada and in the United Kingdom with principal facilities located in Anaheim,
California; New Castle, Delaware; Brandon, Florida; Jacksonville, Florida;
Tampa, Florida; Chesapeake, Virginia; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Elmhurst,
Illinois; Hanover, Maryland; Bridgewater, New Jersey; Las Vegas, Nevada;
Charlotte, North Carolina; Portland, Oregon; Pomona, California; Prospect
Heights, Illinois; Salinas, California; San Diego, California; Wood Dale,
Illinois; London, Kentucky; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; North York, Ontario,
Canada; Birmingham, United Kingdom and Windsor, Berkshire, United Kingdom.

Substantially all branch offices, divisional offices, corporate offices,
regional processing and regional servicing center space are operated under
lease with the exception of the headquarters building for our United Kingdom
operations and processing facilities in Tampa, Florida, Las Vegas, Nevada and
London, Kentucky. We believe that such properties are in good condition and
meet our current and reasonably anticipated needs.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We have developed and implemented compliance functions to monitor our
operations to ensure that we comply with all applicable laws. However, we are
parties to various legal proceedings resulting from ordinary business
activities relating to our current and/or former operations. Certain of these
actions are or purport to be class actions seeking damages in very large
amounts. Due to the uncertainties in litigation and other factors, we cannot
assure you that we will ultimately prevail in each instance. We believe that
we have meritorious defenses to these actions and any adverse decision should
not materially affect our consolidated financial condition.

During the past several years, the press has widely reported certain
industry related concerns which may impact us. Some of these involve the
amount of litigation instituted against finance and insurance companies
operating in the states of Alabama and Mississippi and the large punitive
awards obtained from juries in those states. Like other companies in this
industry, some of our subsidiaries are involved in a number of lawsuits
pending against them in Alabama and Mississippi, many of which relate to the
financing of satellite television broadcast receivers. We discontinued
financing such receivers in 1995. The Alabama and Mississippi cases generally
allege inadequate disclosure or misrepresentation of financing terms. In many
suits, other parties are also named as defendants. Unspecified compensatory
and punitive damages are sought. Several of these suits purport to be class
actions. The judicial climate in Alabama and Mississippi is such that the
outcome of all of these cases is unpredictable. Although our subsidiaries
believe they have substantive legal defenses to these claims and are prepared
to defend each case vigorously, a number of such cases have been settled or
otherwise resolved for amounts that in the aggregate are not material to our
operations. Appropriate insurance carriers have been notified of each claim,
and a number of reservations of rights letters have been received. Certain of
these claims have been partially covered by insurance.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Not applicable.
