Exhibit 99.3 Report of Independent Accountants on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures Partners First Holdings, LLC 900 Elkridge Landing Road, Suite 300 Linthicum, Maryland 21090-2925 and The Bank of New York 101 Barclay Street New York, New York 10286 Partners First Credit Card Master Trust --------------------------------------- We have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by Partners First Holdings, LLC ("PFH") and The Bank of New York, solely to assist you with respect to the amounts set forth in the "Monthly Servicer Reports" prepared for each Series of the Partners First Credit Card Master Trust by PFH pursuant to subsection 5.2(b) of the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement Supplements as defined in Attachment A, during the periods specified in Attachment A. This engagement to apply agreed-upon procedures was performed in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of the procedures is solely the responsibility of PFH and The Bank of New York. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. Our procedures were as follows: We compared the amounts set forth in the "Monthly Servicer Reports" for each Series in the Trust, for the periods specified in Attachment A, prepared by PFH pursuant to subsection 5.2(b) of the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement Supplements (as defined in Attachment A) with reports prepared by PFH's bank card processor or PFH, which were the source of such amounts. We also recalculated the mathematical accuracy of amounts derived in such "Monthly Servicer Reports" for each Series in the Trust for the periods specified in Attachment A. As a result of the procedures performed we noted that in all instances the amounts set forth in the "Monthly Servicer Reports" for each series in the Trust, for the periods specified in Attachment A, were in agreement with reports prepared by PFH's bank card processor or PFH, and that all amounts derived in such "Monthly Servicer Reports" were mathematically accurate, except for following: a. The delinquent account balances stated in the Monthly Servicer Reports dated May 17, 1999, July 15, 1999 and August 16, 1999 were misstated. Attachment B compares the information reported in the applicable Monthly Servicer Report to the amounts recalculated by Ernst & Young. b. The Spread Account Requirement per Loan Agreement for those series identified in Attachment C, for those Monthly Servicer Reports identified in Attachment C, was misstated, causing the Finance Charge Shortfall and/or Finance Charge Collections Available for Other Excess Allocation Series to be misstated. Attachment C identifies those Monthly Servicer Reports in which the Spread Account Requirement per Loan Agreement was incorrectly reported and compares the information stated in the applicable Monthly Servicer Reports to the amounts recalculated by Ernst & Young. c. The Principal Allocation and Floating Allocation Percentages used to allocate amounts between Series were incorrectly calculated and reported on the "Monthly Servicer Reports" as follows: Percentage Percentage "Monthly Servicer Report" as Reported as Recalculated ------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------- Dated October 15, 1999 Principal Allocation Percentage 86.11% 86.44% Floating Allocation Percentage 86.11% 86.44% Dated January 18, 2000 Principal Allocation Percentage 78.85% 78.99% Floating Allocation Percentage 78.85% 78.99% The miscalculation of the Principal Allocation and Floating Allocation Percentages scheduled above, affected the amounts allocated to each Series as reported on the following line items of the "Monthly Trust Activity" section of the "Monthly Servicer Reports": Principal Collections Excess Before Reallocation Finance Charge Collections Reallocation of Finance Charge Collections Interchange Collections Dollars of Excess Spread Investor Default Amount Percentage of Excess Spread Total Amount Due Reallocated Finance Charge Collections The amounts reported for the above line items for each Series are used to derive amounts reported throughout the remainder of the applicable "Monthly Servicer Reports". The restated Monthly Servicer Reports are included as Attachments D and E, respectively. We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an audit, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on the amounts set forth in the "Monthly Servicer Reports" for each Series in the Trust, prepared by PFH pursuant to subsection 5.2(b) of the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement Supplements as defined in Attachment A, or on the reports prepared by PFH's bank card processor or PFH. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures with respect to the "Monthly Servicer Reports" prepared by PFH pursuant to subsection 5.2(b) of the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement Supplements as defined in Attachment A and the reports prepared by PFH's bank card processor and PFH, which were the source of such amounts, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you. This report relates only to the comparison of the amounts, and the recalculation of the mathematical accuracy of such amounts specified above and does not extend to any financial statements of PFH taken as a whole. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the specified users listed above and should not be used by those who have not agreed to the procedures and taken responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for their purposes. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP March 27, 2000 ATTACHMENT A POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT DATE MONTHLY SERVICING REPORTS TRUST COVERING THE PERIOD - ---------------------------- ----------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Partners First Credit June 26, 1998 January 1, 1999 to Card Master Trust December 31, 1999 Series 1998-2 Partners First Credit June 26, 1998 January 1, 1999 to Card Master Trust December 31, 1999 Series 1998-3 Partners First Credit December 4, 1998, amended and January 1, 1999 to Card Master Trust restated January 12, 1999 April 15, 1999 Series 1998-4** ** Series 1998-4 terminated April 15, 1999.
