Interest at the applicable pass-through rate shown above, will be
distributed to Class A Certificateholders (as defined herein) on the third
business day after the 5th day of each month (the "Distribution Date"),
beginning April 8, 1998. Principal will be distributed to Class A
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date in the sequence described herein.
The Class I Certificates will not receive principal payments, but interest at
the Class I Pass-Through Rate of 1.55% per annum on the Notional Principal
Amount (as defined herein) of the Class I Certificates on each Distribution Date
until the Notional Principal Amount has been reduced to zero as provided herein.
Each Certificate offered hereby will represent an undivided interest in the
UACSC 1998-A Auto Trust (the "Trust") to be formed by UAC Securitization
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, having its principal office and place of
business in Bonita Springs, Florida (the "Depositor"). The Trust property will
include an irrevocable insurance policy guaranteeing payments of interest and
principal on the Class A Certificates and Class I Monthly Interest (the
"Policy") issued by MBIA Insurance Corporation (the "Insurer") and a Spread
Account for the benefit of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class I
Certificateholders, as well as the Insurer. Concurrently with the issuance of
the Class A Certificates and the Class I Certificates, the Trust will issue a
Class IC Automobile Receivable Backed Certificate (the "Class IC Certificate").
The Class IC Certificate will be issued to UAC Securitization Corporation, the
Depositor, and will not be offered hereby. The Class A Certificates and the
Class I Certificates are together referred to herein as the "Offered
Certificates."
Prior to their issuance there has been no market for the Offered
Certificates nor can there be any assurance that one will develop, or if it does
develop, that it will provide the holders of the Offered Certificates with
liquidity or will continue for the life of the Offered Certificates. The
Underwriters intend, but are not obligated, to make a market in the Offered
Certificates.
The yield to maturity of the Class I Certificates will be sensitive to the
rate and timing of principal payments (including prepayments) on the
Receivables. Investors in the Class I Certificates should fully consider the
associated risks, including the risk that a rapid rate of principal payments
could result in the failure of such investors to recoup their initial
investments. See "Risk Factors -- Prepayment Risks Associated with the Class I
Certificates," "Yield and Prepayment Considerations" and "The Offered
Certificates -- The Class I Certificates -- Calculation of Notional Principal
Amount" herein.
Prospective investors should consider, among other things, the information
set forth under "Risk Factors" on page S-12 hereof and page 10 of the
Prospectus.
THE OFFERED CERTIFICATES DO NOT REPRESENT INTERESTS IN OR OBLIGATIONS OF
UAC SECURITIZATION CORPORATION OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF. NEITHER THESE
SECURITIES NOR THE UNDERLYING RECEIVABLES WILL BE INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY ANY
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY.

Backed Certificates in the aggregate
principal amount of $29,188,158.83
<PAGE>
(the "Class A-5 Certificates" and
together with the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-2
Certificates, the Class A-3
Certificates and the Class A-4
Certificates, the "Class A
Certificates"); (vi) the Class I
Interest Only Automobile Receivable
Backed Certificates (the "Class I
Certificates") and (vii) the Class IC
Automobile Receivable Backed
Certificate (the "Class IC
Certificate"). The Class I
Certificates are interest only
certificates and will not receive
distributions of principal. The Class
IC Certificate will be issued to the
Depositor on the Closing Date and is
not being offered hereby. The Class A
Certificates and the Class I
Certificates are referred to herein as
the "Offered Certificates."
Each of the Certificates will
represent a fractional undivided
interest in the Trust. The Trust
assets will include a pool of simple
and precomputed interest installment
sale and installment loan contracts
originated in various states in the
United States of America, secured by
new and used automobiles, light trucks
and vans (the "Receivables"), certain
monies due thereunder as of and after
February 28, 1998 (the "Cutoff Date"),
security interests in the related
vehicles financed thereby (the
"Financed Vehicles"), monies on
deposit in the Certificate Account and
the proceeds thereof, any proceeds
from claims on certain insurance
policies relating to the Financed
Vehicles or the related Obligors, any
lender's single interest insurance
policy, the Spread Account (as defined
herein) for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders, the Class I
Certificateholders and the Insurer,
the Policy for the benefit of the
Class A Certificateholders and Class I
<PAGE>
Certificateholders and certain rights
under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement. Interest paid to the
Certificateholders on the first
Distribution Date will be based upon
the amount of interest accruing from
the Closing Date through the day
before the first Distribution Date and
therefore may include more or less
than a full month's interest.
The Class A Certificates ................Interest. Interest will be
distributable on the third business
day after the 5th day of each month
(each, a "Distribution Date")
beginning April 8, 1998, to holders of
record as of the last day of the
calendar month immediately preceding
the calendar month in which such
Distribution Date occurs (the "Record
Date") of the Class A Certificates
(the "Class A Certificateholders,"
which includes the "Class A-1
Certificateholders," the "Class A-2
Certificateholders," the "Class A-3
Certificateholders", the "Class A-4
Certificateholders" and the "Class A-5
Certificateholders").
Interest on the Class A-1 Certificates
will be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year and the actual number of
days from the previous Distribution
Date through the day before the
related Distribution Date or, in the
case of the first Distribution Date,
the number of days from the Closing
Date through the day before the first
Distribution Date. Interest on the
Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3
Certificates, the Class A-4
Certificates and the Class A-5
Certificates will be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months or, in the case
of the first Distribution Date, the
number of days from the Closing Date
through the day before the first
Distribution Date (assuming the month
of the Closing Date has 30 days). See
"Yield and Prepayment Considerations"
and "The Offered Certificates --
Distributions on the Offered
Certificates" herein .
<PAGE>
The amount of interest distributable
to the Class A-1 Certificateholders on
any Distribution Date, other than the
first Distribution Date, is the
product of 1/360th of the applicable
pass-through rate of 5.6111% for the
Class A-1 Certificates (the "Class A-1
Pass-Through Rate"), the number of
days from the previous Distribution
Date through the day before the
related Distribution Date and the
aggregate outstanding principal
balance of the Class A-1 Certificates
(the "Class A-1 Certificate Balance")
on the preceding Distribution Date
(after giving effect to all
distributions to Certificateholders on
such date).
The amount of interest distributable
to the Class A-2 Certificateholders,
the Class A-3 Certificateholders and
the Class A-4 Certificateholders on
any Distribution Date, other than the
first Distribution Date, is the
product of one-twelfth of the
applicable pass-through rate of 5.92%
for the Class A-2 Certificates (the
"Class A-2 Pass-Through Rate"), the
applicable pass-through rate of 6.05%
for the Class A-3 Certificates (the
"Class A-3 Pass-Through Rate") and the
applicable pass-through rate of 6.11%
for the Class A-4 Certificates (the
"Class A-4 Pass-Through Rate")
multiplied by the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the
Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3
Certificates and the Class A-4
Certificates (respectively, the "Class
A-2 Certificate Balance," the "Class
A-3 Certificate Balance" and the
"Class A-4 Certificate Balance") as of
the preceding Distribution Date (after
giving effect to all distributions to
Certificateholders on such date).
<PAGE>
The amount of interest distributable
to the Class A-5 Certificateholders on
any Distribution Date, other than the
first Distribution Date, is the
product of one-twelfth of the
applicable pass-through rate of 6.23%
for the Class A-5 Certificates (which
per annum rate shall be increased by
0.50% after the Clean-Up Call Date, if
required) (the "Class A-5 Pass-Through
Rate") multiplied by the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the
Class A-5 Certificates (the "Class A-5
Certificate Balance" and together with
the Class A-1 Certificate Balance, the
Class A-2 Certificate Balance, the
Class A-3 Certificate Balance and the
Class A-4 Certificate Balance, the
"Certificate Balance" ) as of the
preceding Distribution Date (after
giving effect to all distributions to
Certificateholders on such date).
Principal. On each Distribution Date,
the Trustee will distribute as
principal to the Class A
Certificateholders in a maximum
aggregate amount equal to the
Certificate Balance as of the previous
Distribution Date (after giving effect
to any distributions of Monthly
Principal required to be made on such
Distribution Date) (or, in the case of
the first Distribution Date, as of the
Closing Date) less the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the
Receivables (the "Pool Balance") on
the last day of the immediately
preceding calendar month ("Monthly
Principal"). Monthly Principal will be
distributed sequentially to the Class
A Certificateholders in accordance
with the Principal Distribution
Sequence. For purposes of determining
Monthly Principal, the unpaid
principal balance of a Defaulted
Receivable or a Purchased Receivable
will be deemed to be zero on and after
the date such Receivable became a
Defaulted Receivable or a Purchased
<PAGE>
Receivable. The final scheduled
Distribution Date of the Class A-1
Certificates will be March 10, 1999
(the "Class A-1 Final Scheduled
Distribution Date"). The final
scheduled Distribution Date of the
Class A-2 Certificates will be May 9,
2001 (the "Class A-2 Final Scheduled
Distribution Date"). The final
scheduled Distribution Date of the
Class A-3 Certificates will be June
10, 2002 (the "Class A-3 Final
Scheduled Distribution Date"). The
final scheduled Distribution Date of
the Class A-4 Certificates will be
October 8, 2003 (the "Class A-4 Final
Scheduled Distribution Date"). The
final scheduled Distribution Date of
the Class A-5 Certificates will be
August 10, 2005 (the "Class A-5 Final
Scheduled Distribution Date").
No Monthly Principal will be
distributed (i) to the Class A-2
Certificateholders until the Class A-1
Certificate Balance has been reduced
to zero; (ii) to the Class A-3
Certificateholders until the Class A-2
Certificate Balance has been reduced
to zero; (iii) to the Class A-4
Certificateholders until the Class A-3
Certificate Balance has been reduced
to zero; and (iv) to the Class A-5
Certificateholders until the Class A-4
Certificate Balance has been reduced
to zero. Since the rate of payment of
principal of each class of Class A
Certificates depends upon the rate of
payment of principal (including
prepayments) of the Receivables, the
final distribution in respect of each
class of Class A Certificates could
occur significantly earlier than the
respective final scheduled
distribution dates. See "The Offered
Certificates -- Distributions on the
Offered Certificates" herein.
<PAGE>
The Class I Certificates..................Interest. The Class I Certificates are
interest only certificates which will
not be entitled to any principal
distributions. Interest will accrue on
the Notional Principal Amount (defined
below) of the Class I Certificates at
the rate of 1.55% per annum (the
"Class I Pass-Through Rate"). The
Notional Principal Amount represents a
designated principal component of the
Receivables, originally
$183,094,333.85 (the "Original
Notional Principal Amount").
Interest with respect to the Class I
Certificates will accrue on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months or, in the case of the
first Distribution Date, the number of
days from the Closing Date through the
day before the first Distribution Date
(assuming the month of the Closing
Date has 30 days) divided by 30. On
each Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall distribute pro rata to holders
of Class I Certificates (the "Class I
Certificateholders") of record as of
the preceding Record Date, Class I
Monthly Interest at the Class I
Pass-Through Rate on the Notional
Principal Amount outstanding on the
immediately preceding Distribution
Date (after giving effect to any
reduction of the Notional Principal
Amount on such Distribution Date) or,
in the case of the first Distribution
Date, as of the Closing Date. Holders
of the Class I Certificates will not
be entitled to any distributions after
the Notional Principal Amount thereof
has been reduced to zero.
<PAGE>
Planned Amortization Feature;
Calculation of the Class I Notional
Principal Amount. The Class I
Certificates represent an
interest-only planned amortization
class. The planned amortization
feature is intended to reduce the
uncertainty to investors in the Class
I Certificates with respect to
prepayments. Because the Class I
Certificates will receive interest
based on the Notional Principal
Amount, this is accomplished by basing
the reduction in the Notional
Principal Amount on a principal
paydown schedule rather than on the
reduction in the actual principal
balances of the Receivables, as
described below. The amount which will
be paid to the Class I
Certificateholders is expected to be
derived from the excess of interest
earned on the Receivables over the
Class A Monthly Interest and the
monthly Servicing Fee payable to the
Servicer (the "Monthly Servicing
Fee"). Solely for the purpose of
calculating the amount payable with
respect to the Class I Certificates,
the Certificate Balance will be
divided into two principal components,
the "PAC Component" and the "Companion
Component." The sum of the PAC
Component and the Companion Component
will at all times equal the then
aggregate unpaid Certificate Balance.
The "Notional Principal Amount" of the
Class I Certificates at any time will
be equal to the principal balance of
the PAC Component as calculated based
on the allocations of principal
payments described below, originally
$183,094,333.85.
<PAGE>
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement
establishes a schedule (a "Planned
Notional Principal Amount Schedule")
which is set forth herein under "The
Offered Certificates--The Class I
Certificates-Calculation of Notional
Principal Amount." On each
Distribution Date, Monthly Principal
distributed to Class A
Certificateholders will be allocated
first to the PAC Component in an
amount up to the amount necessary to
reduce the amount thereof to the
Planned Notional Principal Amount for
such Distribution Date, as set forth
in the Planned Notional Principal
Amount Schedule, second, to the
Companion Component until the
outstanding amount thereof is reduced
to zero and third, to the PAC
Component, without regard to the
Planned Notional Principal Amount. As
described above, the Notional
Principal Amount of the Class I
Certificates will be equal to the
outstanding amount of the PAC
Component and thus will be reduced as
the PAC Component is reduced.
The Planned Notional Principal Amount
Schedule has been prepared on the
basis of the assumption, among other
things, that the Receivables prepay at
a constant rate between 1.6% and 2.5%
ABS, an assumed constant rate of
prepayments and the prepayment model
used in this Prospectus Supplement.
The yield to maturity of the Class I
Certificates will be sensitive to the
rate and timing of principal payments
(including prepayments) on the
Receivables and may fluctuate
significantly from time to time. If
the Receivables prepay at a constant
rate within the range assumed in
preparing the Planned Notional
Principal Amount Schedule, the PAC
Component (and the Notional Principal
Amount of the Class I Certificates)
will be reduced in accordance with the
Planned Notional Principal Amount
<PAGE>
Schedule. If the Receivables prepay at
a constant rate higher than 2.5% ABS,
the amount of the Companion Component
will be reduced to zero more quickly
and the amount of the PAC Component
(and the Notional Principal Amount of
the Class I Certificates) will be
reduced more quickly than provided in
the Planned Notional Principal Amount
Schedule, thereby reducing the yield
to holders of the Class I
Certificates. In general, a rapid rate
of principal prepayments (including
liquidations due to losses,
repurchases and other dispositions)
will have a material negative effect
on the yield to maturity of the Class
I Certificates.
The Planned Notional Principal Amount
Schedule is set forth herein under
"The Offered Certificates -- The Class
I Certificates -- Calculation of
Notional Principal Amount." The
Planned Notional Principal Amount
Schedule has been prepared on the
basis of certain assumptions, which
are described herein under "The
Offered Certificates -- Class I Yield
Considerations." Prospective investors
in the Class I Certificates should
fully consider the associated risks,
including the risk that a rapid rate
of prepayments could result in the
failure of investors in the Class I
Certificates to recoup their initial
investment. See "Risk Factors --
Prepayment Risks Associated with the
Class I Certificates" and "Yield and
Prepayment Considerations -- The Class
I Certificates" herein.
Subordination; Spread Account.............The Depositor will establish an
account (the "Spread Account") on the
Closing Date. On each Distribution
Date thereafter, the Servicer will
deposit into the Spread Account any
amounts remaining in the Certificate
Account after the payment on such date
of all amounts owing pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the
Certificateholders (other than the
<PAGE>
Class IC Certificateholder), the
Insurer, the Servicer for the Monthly
Servicing Fee and any permitted
reimbursement of outstanding Advances.
In the event that Available Funds are
insufficient on any Distribution Date
prior to the termination of the Trust
(after payment of the Monthly
Servicing Fee) to pay Monthly
Principal and Monthly Interest to the
Class A Certificateholders and the
Class I Certificateholders, draws will
be made on the Spread Account to the
extent of the balance thereof and, if
necessary, the Policy, in the manner
and to the extent described herein.
The Spread Account is solely for the
benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders, the Class I
Certificateholders and the Insurer. In
the event the amount on deposit in the
Spread Account is zero, after giving
effect to any draws thereon for the
benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class I
Certificateholders, and there is a
default under the Policy, any
remaining losses on the Receivables
will be borne directly pro rata by all
classes of Class A Certificateholders
(to the extent of the classes or class
of Class A Certificates which are
outstanding at such time) and Class I
Certificateholders, as described
herein. Any such reduction of the
principal balance of the Receivables
due to losses on the Receivables may
also result in a reduction of the
Class I Notional Principal Amount. See
"The Offered Certificates -- Accounts"
and "-- Distributions on the Offered
Certificates" herein.
<PAGE>
The Class A Certificates and Class I
Certificates will be senior in right
and interest to the Class IC
Certificate. The Class A
Certificateholders and the Class I
Certificateholders will have equal
rights with respect to amounts
collected on or with respect to the
Receivables and other assets of the
Trust in the event of a shortfall. The
Trustee will first withdraw funds from
the Spread Account on each
Distribution Date to the extent of any
shortfall in the Monthly Servicing
Fee, permitted reimbursements of
outstanding Advances, Monthly Interest
and Monthly Principal as described
above. Any amount on deposit in the
Spread Account on any Distribution
Date in excess of the Required Spread
Amount (defined below) after all other
required deposits thereto and
withdrawals therefrom have been made,
and after payment therefrom of all
amounts due the Insurer will be
distributed to the holder of the Class
IC Certificate (the "Class IC
Certificateholder"). Any amount so
distributed to the Class IC
Certificateholder will no longer be an
asset of the Trust.
While it is intended that the amount
on deposit in the Spread Account will
grow over time, through the deposit
thereto of the excess collections, if
any, on the Receivables, to the
Required Spread Amount, there can be
no assurance that such growth will
actually occur. The "Required Spread
Amount" with respect to any
Distribution Date will equal 1.25% of
the initial Pool Balance. If the
average aggregate yield of the
Receivables pool in excess of losses
falls below a prescribed level set
forth in the Insurance Agreement, the
Required Spread Amount will be
increased to 6.5% of the Pool Balance.
Upon and during the continuance of an
<PAGE>
Event of Default or upon the
occurrence of certain other events
described in the Insurance Agreement
generally involving a failure of
performance by the Servicer or a
material misrepresentation made by the
Servicer under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement or the Insurance
Agreement, the Required Spread Amount
shall be equal to the Policy Amount,
as further described below. Under
certain circumstances, the Required
Spread Amount may be reduced. See "The
Offered Certificates -- Accounts" and
"-- The Policy" herein.
The Policy ...............................The Depositor shall obtain an
irrevocable insurance policy (the
"Policy") issued by the Insurer (as
specified below) for the benefit of
the Trustee on behalf of the Class A
Certificateholders and the Class I
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall
draw on the Policy in the event that
sufficient funds are not available
(after payment of the Monthly
Servicing Fee and after withdrawals
from the Spread Account to pay the
Class A Certificateholders and the
Class I Certificateholders on any
Distribution Date in accordance with
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement)
to distribute Monthly Interest and
Monthly Principal, up to the Policy
Amount. See "The Offered Certificates
-- The Policy."
Policy Amount............................ The term "Policy Amount" means with
respect to any Distribution Date: (x)
the sum of (A) the lesser of (i) the
Certificate Balance (after giving
effect to any distribution of
Available Funds and any funds
withdrawn from the Spread Account to
pay Monthly Principal on such
Distribution Date) and (ii) the Net
Principal Policy Amount, plus (B)
Class A Monthly Interest, plus (C)
Class I Monthly Interest, plus (D) the
Monthly Servicing Fee; less (y) all
amounts on deposit in the Spread
Account on such Distribution Date.
"Net Principal Policy Amount" means
the Certificate Balance as of the
first Distribution Date minus all
amounts previously drawn on the Policy
or from the Spread Account with
respect to Monthly Principal.
<PAGE>
Insurer .................................MBIA Insurance Corporation.
Legal Investment..........................The Class A-1 Certificates will be
eligible securities for purchase by
money market funds under Rule 2a-7 of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
Optional Sale ......................... The Class IC Certificateholder has the
right to cause the Trustee to sell all
of the Receivables (referred to herein
as an "Optional Sale") as of the last
day of any Collection Period, on which
(i) the Pool Balance is equal to or
less than 10% of the initial
Certificate Balance and (ii) the
Notional Principal Amount of the Class
I Certificates will have been reduced
to zero on or before the related
Distribution Date. The purchase price
applicable to the Optional Sale shall
be equal to the fair market value of
the Receivables (but not less than the
sum of (i) 100% of the outstanding
Certificate Balance, (ii) accrued and
unpaid interest on such amount at the
weighted average note rates of the
Receivables less any payments received
but not applied to interest or
principal and (iii) any amounts due
the Insurer).
Clean-Up Call Date...................... If the Class IC Certificateholder does
not exercise its rights with respect
to the Optional Sale on the
Distribution Date on which the
Optional Sale was first permitted (the
"Clean-Up Call Date"), the Class A-5
Pass-Through Rate will be increased by
0.50% on the first Distribution Date
after the Clean-Up Call Date.
<PAGE>
Tax Status .......................... In the opinion of special tax counsel
to the Depositor, the Trust will not
be treated as an association taxable
as a corporation or as a "publicly
traded partnership" taxable as a
corporation. The Trustee and the
Certificateholders will agree to treat
the Trust as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes, which will not be
subject to federal income tax at the
Trust level. See "Certain Federal
Income Tax Consequences" in the
Prospectus.
Ratings ............................... As a condition to the issuance of the
Offered Certificates, the Class A
Certificates and the Class I
Certificates must be rated in the
highest category by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services, a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (each a
"Rating Agency" and collectively, the
"Rating Agencies"). The ratings of the
Class I Certificates do not address
the possibility that rapid rates of
principal prepayments could result in
a failure of the holders of the Class
I Certificates to fully recover their
investment. A security rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold
securities and may be subject to
revision or withdrawal at any time by
the assigning rating agency. See "Risk
Factors-- Certificate Rating."
ERISA Considerations .................. Subject to the considerations
discussed under "ERISA Considerations"
in the Prospectus, the Class A
Certificates and the Class I
Certificates may be eligible for
purchase by employee benefit plans
subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Any
benefit plan fiduciary considering the
purchase of an Offered Certificate
should, among other things, consult
with experienced legal counsel in
determining whether all required
conditions for such purchase have been
satisfied. See "ERISA Considerations"
herein and in the Prospectus.
<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
Investors should carefully consider the information set forth below as
well as the other investment considerations described in this Prospectus
Supplement.
Limited Liquidity
There is currently no secondary market for the Offered Certificates.
The Underwriters currently intend to make a market in the Offered Certificates,
but are under no obligation to do so. There can be no assurance that a secondary
market will develop or, if one does develop, that it will provide
Certificateholders with liquidity of investment or that it will continue for the
life of the Offered Certificates.
Certificates Solely Obligations of the Trust
The Offered Certificates are interests in the Trust only and do not
represent the obligation of any other person. The Class A Certificateholders and
the Class I Certificateholders are senior in right and interest to the Class IC
Certificateholder (as described under "The Offered Certificates -- Distributions
on the Offered Certificates"). The Trustee will withdraw funds from the Spread
Account, up to the full balance of the funds on deposit in such account, only in
the event that Available Funds are insufficient in accordance with the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement to distribute Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal
(after payment of the Monthly Servicing Fee). The amount on deposit in the
Spread Account is intended to increase over time to an amount equal to the
Required Spread Amount. There is no assurance that such growth will occur or
that the balance in the Spread Account will always be sufficient to assure
payment in full of Monthly Principal and Monthly Interest. If the amount on
deposit in the Spread Account is reduced to zero after giving effect to all
amounts to be deposited to and withdrawn from the Spread Account pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on any Distribution Date prior to termination
of the Trust, the Trustee will draw on the Policy, in an amount equal to the
shortfall in respect of Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal, up to the Policy
Amount. If the Spread Account is reduced to zero and there is a default under
the Policy, the Trust will depend solely on current distributions on the
Receivables to make distributions on the Offered Certificates and distributions
of interest and principal on the Offered Certificates may be made pro rata based
on the amounts to which Certificateholders of each class are entitled as set
forth under "The Offered Certificates -- Distributions on the Offered
Certificates." See "The Receivables Pool -- Delinquencies, Repossessions and Net
Losses" and "The Offered Certificates -- Accounts" and "-- Distributions on the
Offered Certificates" herein.
<PAGE>
Prepayment Risks Associated with the Class I Certificates
If the Receivables prepay at a constant rate within the range assumed
in preparing the Planned Notional Principal Amount Schedule, the PAC Component
(and the Notional Principal Amount) will be reduced in accordance with the
Planned Notional Principal Amount Schedule. If the Receivables prepay at a
constant rate higher than 2.5% ABS, the Notional Principal Amount will be
reduced more quickly than provided in the Planned Notional Principal Amount
Schedule, thereby reducing the yield to holders of the Class I Certificates. In
general, a rapid rate of principal prepayments will have a material negative
effect on the yield to maturity of the Class I Certificates. Prospective
investors should fully consider the associated risks, including the risk that a
rapid rate of prepayments could result in the failure of investors in the Class
I Certificates to recoup their initial investment. See "Yield and Prepayment
Considerations -- The Class I Certificates" herein.
Certificate Rating
It is a condition of issuance of the Offered Certificates that the
Class A Certificates and the Class I Certificates be rated in the highest
applicable category by the Rating Agencies. Such ratings will reflect only the
views of the relevant rating agency. There is no assurance that any such rating
will continue for any period of time or that it will not be revised or withdrawn
entirely by such rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. A
revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the market
price of the Offered Certificates. The ratings of the Class I Certificates do
not address the possibility that rapid rates of principal prepayments could
result in a failure of the holders of the Class I Certificates to fully recover
their investment. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold
securities.
FORMATION OF THE TRUST
The Depositor will establish the Trust by selling and assigning the
Trust property, as described below, to the Trustee in exchange for the Offered
Certificates. The Depositor will retain the Class IC Certificate. UAC will be
responsible for servicing the Receivables pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and will be compensated for acting as the Servicer. See "Description
of the Transfer and Servicing Agreements -- Servicing Compensation and Payment
of Expenses" in the Prospectus. To facilitate servicing and to minimize
administrative burden and expense, the Servicer will be appointed custodian of
the Receivables by the Trustee, but will not stamp the Receivables to reflect
the sale and assignment of the Receivables to the Trust or make any notation of
the Trust's lien on the certificates of title of the Financed Vehicles. In the
absence of such notation on the certificates of title, the Trustee may not have
perfected security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables.
See "Certain Legal Aspects of the Receivables" in the Prospectus. Under the
terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, UAC may delegate its duties as
Servicer and custodian; however, any such delegation will not relieve UAC of its
liability and responsibility with respect to such duties.
<PAGE>
The Depositor will establish the Spread Account for the benefit of the
Class A Certificateholders, the Class I Certificateholders and the Insurer and
will obtain the Policy. Withdrawals from the Spread Account and, only after such
withdrawals, draws on the Policy will be made in accordance with the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement in the event that sufficient funds are not available (after
payment of the Monthly Servicing Fee) to distribute, in the case of Class I
Monthly Interest, Class A Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal, up to the
Policy Amount. If the Spread Account is exhausted and there is a default under
the Policy, the Trust will look only to the Obligors on the Receivables and the
proceeds from the repossession and sale of Financed Vehicles that secure
Defaulted Receivables for distributions of interest and principal on the
Certificates. In such event, certain factors, such as the Trustee's not having
perfected security interests in some of the Financed Vehicles, may affect the
Trust's ability to realize on the collateral securing the Receivables, and thus
may reduce the proceeds to be distributed to Certificateholders. See "The
Offered Certificates -- Accounts" herein and "Certain Legal Aspects of the
Receivables" in the Prospectus.
THE RECEIVABLES POOL
The Receivables were selected from UAFC's prime portfolio, for purchase
by the Depositor by several criteria, including that each Receivable: (i) has an
original number of payments of not more than 84 payments and not less than 12
payments, (ii) has a remaining maturity of not more than 84 months and not less
than three months, (iii) provides for level monthly payments that fully amortize
the amount financed over the original term, and (iv) has a Contract Rate
(exclusive of prepaid finance charges) of not less than 6.50%. The weighted
average remaining maturity of the Receivables will be approximately 71 months as
of the Cutoff Date.
Approximately 96.79% of the aggregate principal balance of the
Receivables as of the Cutoff Date are simple interest contracts which provide
for equal monthly payments. Approximately 3.21% of the aggregate principal
balance of the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date are Precomputed Receivables (as
defined in the Prospectus) originated in the State of California. All of such
Precomputed Receivables are Rule of 78's Receivables (as defined in the
Prospectus). Approximately 19.92% of the aggregate principal balance of the
Receivables as of the Cutoff Date represent financing of new vehicles; the
remainder of the Receivables represent financing of used vehicles.
Receivables representing more than 10% of the aggregate principal
balance of the Receivables as of the Cutoff Date were originated in metropolitan
areas in the States of California and Texas. The performance of the Receivables
in the aggregate could be adversely affected in particular by the development of
adverse economic conditions in such metropolitan areas.

(1) There is generally no recourse to Dealers under any of the receivables in
the portfolio serviced by UAC or the Predecessor, except to the extent of
representations and warranties made by Dealers in connection with such
receivables.
(2) Equals the monthly arithmetic average, and includes receivables sold in
prior securitization transactions.
(3) In fiscal 1995, the method by which recoveries are stated was changed.
Currently, recoveries include recoveries on receivables previously charged
off, cash recoveries and unsold repossessed assets carried at fair market
value. Under the previous method, reported recoveries excluded unsold

As indicated by the foregoing delinquency experience table, delinquency
rates based upon outstanding loan balances of accounts 30 days past due and over
decreased to 3.94% at December 31, 1997, compared to 4.33% at September 30,
1997, and increased from 2.96% at June 30, 1997, for UAC's prime servicing
portfolio. The decreased delinquency from September 30, 1997, is primarily
attributed to collection strategies implemented to target problem accounts as
well as the utilization of new scoring tools to focus collection efforts most
effectively.
As indicated in the foregoing credit loss experience table, credit
losses on the prime auto portfolio totaled approximately $13.8 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997, or 2.89% (annualized) of the average servicing
portfolio compared to 3.17% (annualized) for the quarter ended September 30,
1997, and 2.40% for the year ended June 30, 1997. Decreased credit losses from
September 30, 1997, are primarily a result of strategic efforts made by UAC to
improve the overall credit-quality of loans as well as a slight improvement in
recovery rates.
Increasing delinquency and credit losses prior to this quarter have
been attributed to the deterioration of consumer credit despite low unemployment
and relatively good economic conditions. There has been a slight improvement in
delinquency and credit losses since September 30, 1997, which is primarily
attributable to strategic efforts made by UAC. Beginning in March 1997, UAC
implemented tighter credit standards in loan acquisitions to help ensure
adequate credit quality. Several collection strategies have been implemented to
target problem accounts, including forming specialized collection teams to
concentrate on specific classes of accounts and utilization of new scoring tools
to focus collection efforts most effectively.
Recovery rates are a contributing factor to higher credit losses. The
market for the sale of used-cars at auction has continued to decline due to
saturation by used leased vehicles and repossessed vehicles due to bankruptcy.
Recoveries as a percentage of gross charge-offs increased to 38.11% for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997, up from 35.28% for the quarter ended September
30, 1997. Although recovery rates showed signs of improvement during the most
recent quarter, UAC continues to look for ways to improve recovery rates
including expansion of UAC's reconditioning and remarketing operations.
UAC's expectations with respect to delinquency and credit loss trends
constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by UAC.
Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic factors affecting
obligors' ability to make timely payments on their indebtedness such as
employment status, rates of consumer bankruptcy, consumer debt levels generally
and the interest rates applicable thereto. In addition, credit losses are
affected by UAC's ability to realize on recoveries of repossessed vehicles,
including, but not limited to, the market for used cars at any given time.

YIELD AND PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATIONS
General
Monthly Interest (as defined herein) will be distributed to
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date to the extent of the pass-through
rate applied to the applicable Certificate Balance or Notional Principal Amount,
as applicable, as of the preceding Distribution Date or the Closing Date, as
applicable (after giving effect to distributions of principal on such preceding
Distribution Date). See "The Offered Certificates -- Distributions on the
Offered Certificates" herein. In the event of a full or partial prepayment on a
Receivable, Certificateholders will receive interest for the full month of such
prepayment either through the distribution of interest paid on other
Receivables, from a withdrawal from the Spread Account, an Advance by the
Servicer or draw on the Policy.
Although the Receivables will have different Contract Rates, each
Receivable's Contract Rate generally will exceed the sum of (a) the weighted
average of the Class A-1 Pass-Through Rate, the Class A-2 Pass-Through Rate, the
Class A-3 Pass-Through Rate, the Class A-4 Pass-Through Rate and the Class A-5
Pass-Through Rate, (b) the Class I Pass-Through Rate, (c) the per annum rate
used to calculate the Insurance Premium and (d) the per annum rate used to
calculate the Servicing Fee. The Contract Rate on a small percentage of the
Receivables, however, will be less than the foregoing sum. Disproportionate
rates of prepayments between Receivables with higher and lower Contract Rates
could affect the ability of the Trust to distribute Monthly Interest to
Certificateholders.
The Class I Certificates
The Class I Certificates are interest only certificates. Although the
planned amortization feature of the Class I Certificates is intended to reduce
the uncertainty of prepayments with respect to the Class I Certificates, if the
Receivables prepay sufficiently quickly, the Notional Principal Amount of the
Class I Certificates may be reduced more quickly than provided in the Planned
Notional Principal Amount Schedule, thereby reducing the yield to the holders of
the Class I Certificates. The yield to maturity on the Class I Certificates will
therefore be very sensitive to the rate of prepayments, including voluntary
prepayments and prepayments due to liquidations and repurchases. Prospective
investors should fully consider the associated risks, including the risk that a
rapid rate of prepayments could result in the failure of investors in the Class
I Certificates to recoup their initial investment. See "Risk Factors" and "The
Offered Certificates -- The Class I Certificates -- Calculation of Notional
Principal Amount" and "-- Class I Yield Considerations."

THE DEPOSITOR AND UAC
UAC currently acquires loans from over 3,300 manufacturer franchised
automobile dealerships in 30 states. UAC is an Indiana corporation, formed in
December 1993 by UAC's predecessor, Union Federal Savings Bank of Indianapolis
(the "Predecessor") to succeed to the Predecessor's indirect automobile finance
business which the Predecessor had operated since 1986. UAC began purchasing and
originating receivables in April 1994. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1994,
1995, 1996 and 1997 UAC and/or the Predecessor acquired prime loans aggregating
$615 million, $767 million, $995 million and $1,076 million, respectively,
representing annual increases of 25%, 30% and 8%, respectively. Of the $1.9
billion of loans in the servicing portfolio of UAC (consisting of the principal
balance of loans held for sale and securitized loans) at June 30, 1997,
approximately 75.43% represented loans on used cars and approximately 24.57%
represented loans on new cars.
THE INSURER
MBIA Insurance Corporation (the "Insurer") is the principal operating
subsidiary of MBIA Inc., a New York Stock Exchange listed company (the
"Company"). The Company is not obligated to pay the debts of or claims against
the Insurer. The Insurer is domiciled in the State of New York and licensed to
do business in and subject to regulation under the laws of all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands of the United States and the

France and the other in the Kingdom of Spain. New York has laws prescribing
minimum capital requirements, limiting classes and concentrations of investments
and requiring the approval of policy rates and forms. State laws also regulate
the amount of both the aggregate and individual risks that may be insured, the
payment of dividends by the Insurer, changes in control and transactions among
affiliates. Additionally, the Insurer is required to maintain contingency
reserves on its liabilities in certain amounts and for certain periods of time.
Effective February 17, 1998, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Capital Markets Assurance Corporation ("CMAC") through a
merger with its parent CapMAC Holdings Inc. Pursuant to a reinsurance agreement,
CMAC has ceded all of its net insured risks, as well as its unearned premiums
and contingency reserves, to the Insurer and the Insurer has reinsured CMAC's
net outstanding exposure. The Company is not obligated to pay the debts of or
claims against CMAC.
As of December 31, 1996 the Insurer had admitted assets of $4.4 billion
(audited), total liabilities of $3.0 billion (audited), and total capital and
surplus of $1.4 billion (audited) determined in accordance with statutory
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by insurance regulatory
authorities. As of September 30, 1997, the Insurer had admitted assets of $5.1
billion (unaudited), total liabilities of $3.4 billion (unaudited), and total
capital and surplus of $1.7 billion (unaudited) determined in accordance with
statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by insurance regulatory
authorities.

THE OFFERED CERTIFICATES
The Offered Certificates will be issued pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Copies of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (without
exhibits) may be obtained by Certificateholders upon request in writing to the
Servicer at the address set forth herein under "Reports to Certificateholders."
Citations to the relevant sections of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement appear
below in parentheses. The following summary does not purport to be complete and
is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
Distributions
In general, it is intended that the Trustee distribute to the Class A
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date beginning April 8, 1998, the
aggregate principal payments, including full and partial prepayments (except
certain prepayments in respect of Precomputed Receivables as described below
under "--Accounts"), received on the Receivables during the related Collection
Period, plus Class A Monthly Interest. Principal to be distributed to the Class
A Certificateholders will be allocated on the basis of the Principal
Distribution Sequence (as defined herein). It is also intended that the Trustee
distribute to the Class I Certificateholders, on each Distribution Date
beginning on April 8, 1998 and continuing through the Distribution Date on which
the Notional Principal Amount is reduced to zero, the Class I Monthly Interest.
(Section 9.04.) See "-- Distributions on the Offered Certificates." Monthly
Interest may be provided by a payment made by or on behalf of the Obligor, by an
Advance made by the Servicer to cover interest due on a defaulted Receivable or
by a withdrawal from the Spread Account. Monthly Interest may be provided by a
draw on the Policy if there are not sufficient funds (after payment of the
Monthly Servicing Fee, permitted reimbursements of outstanding Advances and
after giving effect to any withdrawals from the Spread Account for the benefit
of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class I Certificateholders) to pay
Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal. Draws on the Policy to pay Monthly
Interest and Monthly Principal will be limited to the Policy Amount. See "--
Sale and Assignment of Receivables" and "-- Accounts" herein.
<PAGE>
The Class I Certificates -- Calculation of Notional Principal Amount
The Class I Certificates are interest only planned amortization
securities. The Class I Certificates are entitled to receive interest at the
Class I Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Principal Amount of the Class I
Certificates, initially $183,094,333.85. The planned amortization feature is
intended to reduce the uncertainty to investors in the Class I Certificates with
respect to prepayments because the Class I Certificates will receive interest
based on their Notional Principal Amount on a principal paydown schedule rather
than on the reduction in the actual Certificate Balance as a result of principal
payments and prepayments, as described below. Solely for the purpose of
calculating the amount payable with respect to the Class I Certificates, the
Certificate Balance will be divided into two principal components, the "PAC
Component" and the "Companion Component". The Notional Principal Amount will be
equal to the PAC Component, originally $183,094,333.85. The sum of the PAC
Component and the Companion Component will at all times equal the then aggregate
unpaid Certificate Balance.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement establishes a schedule (the
"Planned Notional Principal Amount Schedule") pursuant to which principal will
be allocated to the PAC Component and the Companion Component, as described
below. As the PAC Component is reduced, the Notional Principal Amount and
payments to the holders of the Class I Certificates will also be reduced. On
each Distribution Date, the Monthly Principal distributed to Class A
Certificateholders will be allocated first to the PAC Component up to the amount
necessary to reduce the PAC Component to the amount specified in the Planned
Notional Principal Amount Schedule (the "Planned Notional Principal Amount") for
such Distribution Date, second, to the Companion Component until the balance
thereof is reduced to zero and third, to the PAC Component, without regard to
the Planned Notional Principal Amount for such Distribution Date. The foregoing
allocations will be made solely for purposes of calculating the Notional
Principal Amount and correspondingly, the amount of interest payable with
respect to the Class I Certificates. The Class I Certificates are not entitled
to receive any principal payments. The foregoing calculations will not affect
distributions of principal with respect to the Class A Certificates.

Class I Yield Considerations
Although the planned amortization feature of the Class I Certificates
is intended to reduce the uncertainty relating to prepayments of the Receivables
with respect to the Class I Certificates, the yield to maturity of the Class I
Certificates will remain extremely sensitive to the prepayment experience of the
Receivables, including voluntary prepayments and prepayments due to liquidations
and repurchases. Prospective investors should fully consider the associated
risks, including the risk that such investors may not fully recover their
initial investment. In particular, investors in the Class I Certificates should
note that they will not be entitled to any distributions after the Notional
Principal Amount of the Class I Certificates has been reduced to zero and that
Receivables may be repurchased due to breaches of representations. See "Risk
Factors."
The following tables illustrate the significant effect that prepayments
on the Receivables have upon the yield to maturity of the Class I Certificates.
The first table assumes that the Receivables have been aggregated into four
hypothetical pools having the characteristics described therein and that the
level scheduled monthly payment for each of the four pools (which is based on
its principal balance, weighted average Contract Rate, weighted average
remaining term as of the Cutoff Date and its weighted average original term)
will be such that such pool will be fully amortized by the end of its weighted
average remaining term. Based on such hypothetical pools, the second table shows
the approximate hypothetical pre-tax yields to maturity of the Class I
Certificates, stated on a corporate bond equivalent basis, under five different
prepayment assumptions based on the assumed purchase price and the ABS
prepayment model described below.
<TABLE>

4 106,664,102.96 12.795 80 82
</TABLE>
For purposes of the table, it is also assumed that (i) the purchase
price of the Class I Certificates is as set forth below, (ii) the Receivables
prepay monthly at the specified percentages of ABS as set forth in the table
below, (iii) prepayments representing prepayments in full of individual
Receivables are received on the last day of the month and include a full month's
interest thereon, (iv) the Closing Date for the Offered Certificates is March
12, 1998, (v) distributions on the Offered Certificates are made, in cash,
commencing on April 8, 1998, and on the ninth day of each month thereafter, (vi)
no defaults or delinquencies in the payment of the Receivables are experienced,
and (vii) no Receivable is repurchased for breach of representation and warranty
or otherwise.

(1) Expressed as a percentage of the original Notional Principal Amount.
Based on the assumptions described above and assuming a purchase price
of 2.135753% at approximately 2.843% ABS, the pre-tax yield to maturity of the
Class I Certificates would be approximately 0%.
It is highly unlikely that the Receivables will prepay at a constant
rate until maturity or that all of the Receivables will prepay at the same rate.
The foregoing table assumes that each Receivable bears interest at its specified
Contract Rate, has the same remaining amortization term, and prepays at the same
rate. In fact, receivables will prepay at different rates and have different
terms.
The yields set forth in the preceding table were calculated by
determining the monthly discount rates which, when applied to the assumed stream
of cash flows to be paid on the Class I Certificates, would cause the discounted
present value of such assumed cash flows to equal the assumed purchase price of
such Class I Certificates and by converting such monthly rates to corporate bond
equivalent rates. Such calculations do not take into account variations that may
occur in the interest rates at which investors may be able to reinvest funds
received by them as distributions on the Class I Certificates and consequently
do not purport to reflect the return on any investment in the Class I
Certificates when such reinvestment rates are considered.
The Receivables will not necessarily have the characteristics assumed
above and there can be no assurance that (i) the Receivables will prepay at any
of the rates shown in the table or at any other particular rate or will prepay
proportionately, (ii) the pre-tax yield on the Class I Certificates will
correspond to any of the pre-tax yields shown above or (iii) the aggregate
purchase price of the Class I Certificates will be equal to the purchase price
assumed. Because the Receivables will include Receivables that have remaining
terms to stated maturity shorter or longer than those assumed and Contract Rates
higher or lower than those assumed, the pre-tax yield on the Class I
Certificates may differ from those set forth above, even if all of the
Receivables prepay at the indicated constant prepayment rates.
Prepayments on automotive receivables can be measured relative to a
prepayment standard or model. The Absolute Prepayment Model ("ABS") used in the
preceding table represents an assumed rate of prepayment each month relative to
the original number of receivables in a pool of receivables. ABS further assumes
that all the receivables are the same size and amortize at the same rate and
that each receivable in each month of its life will either be paid as scheduled
or be prepaid in full. For example, in a pool of receivables originally
containing 10,000 receivables, a 1% ABS rate means that 100 receivables prepay
each month. ABS does not purport to be an historical description of prepayment
experience or a prediction of the anticipated rate of prepayment of any pool of
receivables, including the Receivables.
<PAGE>
Sale and Assignment of Receivables
Certain information with respect to the conveyance of the Receivables
(i) from Union Acceptance Funding Corporation ("UAFC") to the Depositor pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement dated as of March 1, 1998, among UAFC, UAC and the
Depositor and (ii) from the Depositor to the Trust pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement is set forth under "Description of the Transfer and
Servicing Agreements -- Sale and Assignment of Receivables" in the Prospectus.
Accounts
In addition to the Certificate Account, the property of the Trust will
include the Spread Account and the Payahead Account.
Spread Account. On the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish the
Spread Account. Thereafter, the amount held in the Spread Account will be
increased up to the Required Spread Amount by the deposit thereto of payments on
the Receivables not utilized to make payments to the Certificateholders (other
than the Class IC Certificateholder), the Insurer and the Servicer for the
Monthly Servicing Fee and any permitted reimbursements of outstanding Advances
on any Distribution Date. While it is intended that the Spread Account will grow
over time to equal the Required Spread Amount through monthly deposits of excess
collections on the Receivables, if any, there can be no assurance that such
growth will actually occur. The Spread Account will be established for the
benefit of the Class A Certificateholders, the Class I Certificateholders and
the Insurer. On each Distribution Date, any amounts on deposit in the Spread
Account after the payment of any amounts owed to the Insurer in excess of the
Required Spread Amount will be withdrawn from the Spread Account and distributed
to the Class IC Certificateholder.
Under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee
will withdraw funds from the Spread Account and transfer them to the Certificate
Account for any deficiency of Monthly Interest or Monthly Principal as further
described below under "-- Distributions on the Offered Certificates," to the
extent available, prior to making any draw on the Policy.
In the event that the balance of the Spread Account is reduced to zero
and there is a default under the Policy on any Distribution Date, the Trust will
depend solely on current distributions on the Receivables to make distributions
of principal and interest on the Certificates. Any reduction in the principal
balance of the Receivables due to losses on the Receivables will also result in
a reduction of the Notional Principal Amount of the Class I Certificates. In
addition, because the market value of motor vehicles generally declines with age
and because of difficulties that may be encountered in enforcing motor vehicle
contracts as described in the Prospectus under "Certain Legal Aspects of the
Receivables," the Servicer may not recover the entire amount due on such
Receivables in the event of a repossession and resale of a Financed Vehicle
securing a Receivable in default. In such event, the Certificateholders may
suffer a corresponding loss. Any such losses would be borne pro rata by the
Class A Certificateholders and Class I Certificateholders.
<PAGE>
Payahead Account. The Servicer will establish an additional account
(the "Payahead Account"), in the name of the Trustee on behalf of Obligors on
the Receivables and Certificateholders, into which, to the extent required by
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, early payments by or on behalf of Obligors
on Precomputed Receivables will be deposited until such time as the payment
becomes due. Until such time as payments are transferred from the Payahead
Account to the Certificate Account, they will not constitute collected interest
or collected principal and will not be available for distribution to
Certificateholders. The Payahead Account will initially be maintained with the
Trustee. Interest earned on the balance in the Payahead Account will be remitted
to the Servicer monthly. Collections on a Precomputed Receivable made during a
Collection Period shall be applied first to any overdue scheduled payment on
such Receivable, then to the scheduled payment on such Receivable due in such
Collection Period. If any collections remaining after the scheduled payment is
made are insufficient to prepay the Precomputed Receivable in full, then
generally such remaining collections shall be transferred to and kept in the
Payahead Account until such later Collection Period as the collections may be
retransferred to the Certificate Account and applied either to a later scheduled
payment or to prepay such Receivable in full.
Advances
With respect to each Receivable delinquent more than 30 days at the end
of a Collection Period, the Servicer will make an Advance in an amount equal to
30 days of interest, but only to the extent that the Servicer in its sole
discretion, expects to recoup the Advance from subsequent collections on the
Receivable. The Servicer will deposit the Advance in the Certificate Account on
or before the fifth calendar day of the month following the Collection Period.
The Servicer will recoup its Advance from subsequent payments by or on behalf of
the respective Obligor, from insurance proceeds or, upon the Servicer's
determination that reimbursement from the preceding sources is unlikely, will
recoup its Advance from any collections made on other Receivables. (Section
9.05.)
Distributions on the Class IC Certificate
The Class IC Certificate will be initially issued to the Depositor and
will entitle it to receive monthly all funds held in the Spread Account in
excess of the Required Spread Amount after payment of all amounts owed to the
Insurer. Upon termination of the Trust the Class IC Certificateholder is
entitled to receive any amounts remaining in the Spread Account (only after all
required payments to the Insurer are made) after the payment of expenses and
distributions to Certificateholders. See "-- Accounts" above.
<PAGE>
Distributions on the Offered Certificates
The Servicer will deposit in the Certificate Account the amount of
payments on all Receivables received with respect to the preceding Collection
Period. All such payments on the Simple Interest Receivables, the scheduled
payments on Precomputed Receivables, plus the net amount to be transferred from
the Payahead Account to the Certificate Account for the related Distribution
Date, all Advances for such Collection Period and the Purchase Amount for all
Receivables that became Purchased Receivables during the preceding Collection
Period, will be available for distribution pursuant to the terms of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement on the next succeeding Distribution Date ("Available
Funds"). The Servicer will determine the amount of funds necessary to make
distributions of Monthly Principal and Monthly Interest to the
Certificateholders and to pay the Monthly Servicing Fee to the Servicer. If
there is a deficiency with respect to Monthly Interest or Monthly Principal on
any Distribution Date, after giving effect to payments of the Monthly Servicing
Fee and permitted reimbursements of outstanding Advances to the Servicer on such
Distribution Date, the Servicer will withdraw amounts, to the extent available,
from the Spread Account, in the amount of such deficiency and notify the Trustee
of any remaining deficiency, whereupon the Trustee will draw on the Policy, up
to the Policy Amount, to pay Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal. Moreover,
if the Available Funds for a Distribution Date are insufficient to pay current
and past due Insurance Premiums, and other amounts owed to the Insurer, pursuant
to the Insurance Agreement, plus accrued interest thereon, to the Insurer, the
Servicer will notify the Trustee of such deficiency, and the amount, if any,
then on deposit in the Spread Account (after giving effect to any withdrawal to
satisfy a deficiency described in this and the preceding sentences) will be
available to cover such deficiency.
The Monthly Servicing Fee due to the Servicer in respect of each
Collection Period will be distributed to the Servicer during such Collection
Period from collections received during such Collection Period.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will apply or cause to be
applied the Available Funds (plus, to the extent required for payment of Monthly
Interest or Monthly Principal any amounts withdrawn from the Spread Account or
drawn on the Policy, as applicable) to make the following payments in the
following priority:
(a) without duplication, an amount equal to the sum of the amount of
outstanding Advances in respect of Receivables (x) that became
Defaulted Receivables during the prior Collection Period plus (y) that
the Servicer determines to be unrecoverable, to the Servicer;
(b) the Monthly Servicing Fee, including any overdue Monthly Servicing
Fee, to the Servicer, to the extent not previously distributed to the
Servicer;
<PAGE>
(c) pro rata, (y) Monthly Principal, in accordance with the Principal
Distribution Sequence (described below), and Class A Monthly Interest,
including any overdue Class A Monthly Interest, to the Class A
Certificateholders and (z) Class I Monthly Interest, including any
overdue Class I Monthly Interest, to the Class I Certificateholders;
(d) the Insurance Premium including any overdue Insurance Premium plus
interest thereon to the Insurer;
(e) the amount of recoveries of Advances (to the extent such recoveries
have not previously been reimbursed to the Servicer pursuant to clause
(a) above), to the Servicer;
(f) the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed draws on the Policy
payable to the Insurer, under the Insurance Agreement, for Class A
Monthly Interest, Class I Monthly Interest and Monthly Principal and
any other amounts owing to the Insurer under the Insurance Agreement
plus accrued interest thereon; and
(g) the balance into the Spread Account.
After all distributions pursuant to clauses (a) through (g) above have
been made for each Distribution Date, the amount of funds remaining in the
Spread Account on such date, if any, in excess of the Required Spread Amount,
will be distributed by the Trustee to the Class IC Certificateholder. Any
amounts so distributed to the Class IC Certificateholder will no longer be
property of the Trust and Certificateholders will have no rights with respect
thereto.
If on any Distribution Date there are not sufficient Available Funds
(together with amounts withdrawn from the Spread Account and/or the Policy) to
pay the distribution required by (c) above, the Available Funds distributable
thereunder shall be distributed proportionately on the basis of the ratio of the
required distribution due each of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class I
Certificateholders, respectively, to the sum of the distributions required by
(c) the Class A Certificateholders and the Class I Certificateholders. The
amount so distributed to the Class A Certificateholders hereunder shall be
allocated first to Class A Monthly Interest, and second to Monthly Principal pro
rata among the Class A Certificateholders.
"Class A Monthly Interest" for any Distribution Date will equal the sum
of Class A-1 Monthly Interest, Class A-2 Monthly Interest, Class A-3 Monthly
Interest, Class A-4 Monthly Interest and Class A-5 Monthly Interest.
"Class A-1 Monthly Interest" means, (i) for the first Distribution
Date, the product of the following: (one-three hundred sixtieth (1/360th) of the
Class A-1 Pass-Through Rate) multiplied by (the number of days from the Closing
Date through the day before the first Distribution Date) multiplied by the Class
A-1 Certificate Balance at the Closing Date and (ii) for any subsequent
Distribution Date, one-three hundred sixtieth (1/360th) of the product of the
Class A-1 Pass-Through Rate, the actual number of days from the previous
Distribution Date through the day before the related Distribution Date and the
Class A-1 Certificate Balance as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date
(after giving effect to any distribution of Monthly Principal made on such
immediately preceding Distribution Date).
<PAGE>
"Class A-2 Monthly Interest" means, (i) for the first Distribution
Date, the product of the following: (one twelfth of the Class A-2 Pass-Through
Rate) multiplied by (the number of days from the Closing Date (assuming the
month of the Closing Date has 30 days) through the day before the first
Distribution Date divided by 30) multiplied by the Class A-2 Certificate Balance
at the Closing Date and (ii) for any subsequent Distribution Date, one-twelfth
of the product of the Class A-2 Pass-Through Rate and the Class A-2 Certificate
Balance as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date (after giving effect
to any distribution of Monthly Principal made on such immediately preceding
Distribution Date).
"Class A-3 Monthly Interest" means, (i) for the first Distribution
Date, the product of the following: (one twelfth of the Class A-3 Pass-Through
Rate) multiplied by (the number of days from the Closing Date (assuming the
month of the Closing Date has 30 days) through the day before the first
Distribution Date divided by 30) multiplied by the Class A-3 Certificate Balance
at the Closing Date and (ii) for any subsequent Distribution Date, one-twelfth
of the product of the Class A-3 Pass-Through Rate and the Class A-3 Certificate
Balance as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date (after giving effect
to any distribution of Monthly Principal made on such immediately preceding
Distribution Date).
"Class A-4 Monthly Interest" means, (i) for the first Distribution
Date, the product of the following: (one twelfth of the Class A-4 Pass-Through
Rate) multiplied by (the number of days from the Closing Date (assuming the
month of the Closing Date has 30 days) through the day before the first
Distribution Date divided by 30) multiplied by the Class A-4 Certificate Balance
at the Closing Date and (ii) for any subsequent Distribution Date, one-twelfth
of the product of the Class A-4 Pass-Through Rate and the Class A-4 Certificate
Balance as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date (after giving effect
to any distribution of Monthly Principal made on such immediately preceding
Distribution Date).
"Class A-5 Monthly Interest" means, (i) for the first Distribution
Date, the product of the following: (one twelfth of the Class A-5 Pass-Through
Rate) multiplied by (the number of days from the Closing Date (assuming the
month of the Closing Date has 30 days) through the day before the first
Distribution Date divided by 30) multiplied by the Class A-5 Certificate Balance
at the Closing Date and (ii) for any subsequent Distribution Date, one-twelfth
of the product of the Class A-5 Pass-Through Rate (as adjusted after the
Clean-Up Call Date) and the Class A-5 Certificate Balance as of the immediately
preceding Distribution Date (after giving effect to any distribution of Monthly
Principal made on such immediately preceding Distribution Date).
<PAGE>
"Class I Monthly Interest" means (i) for the first Distribution Date,
the product of the following: (one-twelfth of the Class I Pass-Through Rate)
multiplied by (the number of days from the Closing Date (assuming the month of
the Closing Date has 30 days) through the day before the first Distribution Date
divided by 30) multiplied by the Notional Principal Amount of the Class I
Certificates at the Closing Date, and (ii) for any subsequent Distribution Date,
one-twelfth of the product of the Class I Pass-Through Rate and the Notional
Principal Amount as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date (after giving
effect to any application of Monthly Principal on such preceding Distribution
Date); provided, however, that after the Class A-5 Final Scheduled Distribution
Date, the Class I Monthly Interest shall be zero.
"Defaulted Receivable" will mean, for any Collection Period, a
Receivable as to which any of the following has occurred: (i) any payment is 120
days or more delinquent as of the last day of such Collection Period; (ii) the
Financed Vehicle that secures the Receivable has been repossessed; or (iii) the
Receivable has been determined to be uncollectable in accordance with the
Servicer's customary practices on or prior to the last day of such Collection
Period; provided, however, that any Receivable which the Depositor or the
Servicer is obligated to repurchase or purchase pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement shall be deemed not to be a Defaulted Receivable.
"Insurance Premium" for any Distribution Date will equal one-twelfth of
the product of the Policy per annum fee rate set forth in the Insurance
Agreement and the Certificate Balance calculated as of the last day of the
Collection Period to which such Distribution Date relates and payable monthly in
arrears.
"Monthly Interest" for any Distribution Date will equal the sum of the
Class A Monthly Interest and the Class I Monthly Interest.
"Monthly Principal" for any Distribution Date will equal the amount
necessary to reduce the Certificate Balance as of the prior Distribution Date
(after giving effect to the distribution of Monthly Principal on such date) to
the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Receivables on the last day of the
preceding Collection Period; provided, however, that Monthly Principal on the
final scheduled Distribution Date for each class of Class A Certificates will be
increased by the amount, if any, which is necessary to reduce the Certificate
Balance of such class to zero on such date. For the purpose of determining
Monthly Principal, the unpaid principal balance of a Defaulted Receivable or a
Purchased Receivable is deemed to be zero on and after the last day of the
Collection Period in which such Receivable became a Defaulted Receivable or a
Purchased Receivable.
<PAGE>
"Principal Distribution Sequence" means the order in which Monthly
Principal shall be distributed among the Class A Certificateholders in the
following sequence: (i) to the Class A-1 Certificateholders until the Class A-1
Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero; (ii) to the ClassA-2
Certificateholders until the Class A-2 Certificate Balance has been reduced to
zero; (iii) to the Class A-3 Certificateholders until the Class A-3 Certificate
Balance has been reduced to zero; (iv) to the Class A-4 Certificateholders until
the Class A-4 Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero; and (v) to the Class
A-5 Certificateholders until the Class A-5 Certificate Balance has been reduced
to zero.
As an administrative convenience, the Servicer will be permitted to
make the deposit of collections and aggregate Advances and Purchase Amounts for
or with respect to the Collection Period, net of distributions to be made to the
Servicer with respect to the Collection Period. The Servicer, however, will
account to the Trustee and to the Certificateholders as if all deposits and
distributions were made individually. (Section 9.06.)
The following chart sets forth an example of the application of the
foregoing provisions to a monthly distribution:
March 1-31 ............................ Collection Period. The Servicer
receives monthly payments,
prepayments, and other proceeds in
respect of the Receivables and
deposits them in the Certificate
Account. The Servicer may deduct the
Monthly Servicing Fee from such
deposits.
March 31 .............................. Record Date. Distributions on the
Distribution Date are made to
Certificateholders of record at the
close of business on this date.
April 5 ................................ On the fifth calendar day after the
end of the Collection Period (the
"Determination Date") the Servicer
notifies the Trustee of the amounts to
be distributed on the Distribution
Date and of any deficiencies.
April 8................................. On the third business day after the
Determination Date (the "Distribution
Date") the Trustee withdraws funds
from the Spread Account and/or draws
on the Policy, if necessary, to pay
Monthly Principal and Monthly Interest
to Certificateholders as described
herein. The Trustee distributes to
Certificateholders amounts payable in
respect of the Offered Certificates,
and pays the Monthly Servicing Fee to
the extent not previously paid, the
Insurance Premium and any amounts
owing to the Insurer.
<PAGE>
The Policy
On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor and UAC, in its individual
capacity and as Servicer, and the Insurer will enter into an Insurance and
Reimbursement Agreement (the "Insurance Agreement") pursuant to which the
Insurer will issue the Policy. Under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, after withdrawal of any amounts in the Spread Account with respect to
a Distribution Date to pay a deficiency in Monthly Interest or Monthly
Principal, the Trustee will be authorized to draw on the Policy for the benefit
of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class I Certificateholders and credit
the Certificate Account for such draws as described above under "--Distributions
on the Offered Certificates." The maximum amount that may be drawn under the
Policy on any Distribution Date is limited to the Policy Amount for such
Distribution Date. The Policy Amount, with respect to any Distribution Date,
shall equal (x) the sum of (A) the lesser of (i) the Certificate Balance (after
giving effect to any distribution of Available Funds and any funds withdrawn
from the Spread Account to pay Monthly Principal on such Distribution Date) and
(ii) the Net Principal Policy Amount, plus (B) Class A Monthly Interest, plus
(C) Class I Monthly Interest, plus (D) the Monthly Servicing Fee; less (y) all
amounts on deposit in the Spread Account on such Distribution Date. "Net
Principal Policy Amount" means the Certificate Balance as of the first
Distribution Date minus all amounts previously drawn on the Policy or from the
Spread Account with respect to Monthly Principal.
The Insurer will be entitled to receive the Insurance Premium and
certain other amounts on each Distribution Date as described under
"--Distributions on the Offered Certificates" and to receive amounts on deposit
in the Spread Account as described above under "--Accounts." The Insurer will
not be entitled to reimbursement of any amounts from the Certificateholders. The
Insurer's obligation under the Policy is irrevocable. The Insurer will have no
obligation other than its obligations under the Policy to the Certificateholders
or the Trustee.
In the event that the balance in the Spread Account is reduced to zero
and there has been a default under the Policy, the Trust may depend solely on
current collections on the Receivables to make distributions of principal and
interest on the Offered Certificates. Any reduction in the principal balance of
the Receivables due to losses on the Receivables may also result in a reduction
of the Notional Principal Amount of the Class I Certificates. In addition,
because the market value of motor vehicles generally declines with age and
because of difficulties that may be encountered in enforcing motor vehicle
contracts as described in the Prospectus under "Certain Legal Aspects of the
Receivables," the Servicer may not recover the entire amount due on such
Receivables in the event of a repossession and resale of a Financed Vehicle
securing a Receivable in default. In such event, the Certificateholders may
suffer a corresponding loss. Any such losses would be borne pro rata by the
Class A Certificateholders and Class I Certificateholders. See " --
Distributions on the Offered Certificates."
<PAGE>
Rights of the Insurer upon Events of Default, Amendment or Waiver
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Insurer, or the Trustee
upon the consent of the Insurer, will be entitled to appoint a successor
Servicer. In addition to the events constituting an Event of Default as
described in the Prospectus, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will also
permit the Insurer to appoint a successor Servicer and to redirect payments made
under the Receivables to the Trustee upon the occurrence of certain additional
events involving a failure of performance by the Servicer or a material
misrepresentation made by the Servicer under the Insurance Agreement.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement cannot be amended or any provisions
thereof waived without the consent of the Insurer if such amendment or waiver
would have a materially adverse effect upon the rights of the Insurer.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
Subject to the considerations set forth under "ERISA Considerations" in
the Prospectus, the Class A Certificates and the Class I Certificates may be
eligible for purchase by an employee benefit plan or an individual retirement
account (a "Plan") subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A fiduciary of a Plan must
determine that the purchase of a Class A Certificate or of a Class I
Certificates is consistent with its fiduciary duties under ERISA and does not
result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code. For additional information regarding treatment of
the Class A Certificates and the Class I Certificates under ERISA, see "ERISA
Considerations" in the Prospectus.

obligated, however, to make a market in the Offered Certificates and any such

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
---------------------------------
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDER OF
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MBIA Insurance
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholder's equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MBIA Insurance
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
MBIA Insurance Corporation (MBIA Corp.), formerly known as Municipal Bond
Investors Assurance Corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of MBIA Inc. MBIA
Inc. was incorporated in Connecticut on November 12, 1986 as a licensed insurer
and, through a series of transactions during December 1986, became the successor
to the business of the Municipal Bond Insurance Association (the Association), a
voluntary unincorporated association of insurers writing municipal bond and note
insurance as agent for the member insurance companies.
Effective December 31, 1989, MBIA Inc. acquired for $288 million all of the
outstanding stock of Bond Investors Group, Inc. (BIG), the parent company of
Bond Investors Guaranty Insurance Company (BIG Ins.), which was subsequently
renamed MBIA Insurance Corp. of Illinois (MBIA Illinois).
In January 1990, MBIA Illinois ceded its portfolio of net insured
obligations to MBIA Corp. in exchange for cash and investments equal to its
unearned premium reserve of $153 million. Subsequent to this cession, MBIA Inc.
contributed the common stock of BIG to MBIA Corp. resulting in additional
paid-in capital of $200 million. The insured portfolio acquired from BIG Ins.
consists of municipal obligations with risk characteristics similar to those
insured by MBIA Corp. On December 31, 1990, BIG was merged into MBIA Illinois.
Also in 1990, MBIA Inc. formed MBIA Assurance S.A. (MBIA Assurance), a
wholly owned French subsidiary, to write financial guarantee insurance in the
international community. MBIA Assurance provides insurance for public
infrastructure financings, structured finance transactions and certain
obligations of financial institutions. The stock of MBIA Assurance was
contributed to MBIA Corp. in 1991 resulting in additional paid-in capital of $6
million. Pursuant to a reinsurance agreement with MBIA Corp., a substantial
amount of the risks insured by MBIA Assurance is reinsured by MBIA Corp.
In 1993, MBIA Inc. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, MBIA Investment
Management Corp. (IMC). IMC, which commenced operations in August 1993, provides
guaranteed investment agreements to states, municipalities and municipal
authorities that are guaranteed as to principal and interest. MBIA Corp. insures
IMC's outstanding investment agreement liabilities.
<PAGE>
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In 1994, MBIA Inc. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, MBIA Securities Corp.
which was subsequently renamed MBIA Capital Management Corp. (CMC). CMC provides
fixed-income investment management services for MBIA Inc., its municipal cash
management service businesses and public pension funds. In 1995, portfolio
management for a portion of MBIA Corp.'s insurance related investment portfolio
was transferred to CMC; the management of the balance of this portfolio was
transferred in January 1996.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
accounting policies are as follows:
CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MBIA Corp. and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances have been
eliminated. Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior years' financial
statements to conform to the current presentation.
INVESTMENTS
MBIA Corp.'s entire investment portfolio is considered available-for-sale and is
reported in the financial statements at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses, net of deferred taxes, reflected as a separate component of
shareholder's equity.
Bond discounts and premiums are amortized using the effective-yield method
over the remaining term of the securities. For pre-refunded bonds the remaining
term is determined based on the contractual refunding date. Short-term
investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and
include all fixed-maturity securities with a remaining term to maturity of less
than one year. Investment income is recorded as earned. Realized gains or losses
on the sale of investments are determined by specific identification and are
included as a separate component of revenues.
<PAGE>
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Other investments include MBIA Corp.'s interest in a limited partnership
and a mutual fund which invests principally in marketable equity securities.
MBIA Corp. records dividends from these investments as a component of investment
income. In addition, MBIA Corp. records its share of the unrealized gains and
losses on these investments, net of applicable deferred income taxes, as a
separate component of shareholder's equity.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with banks.
SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENTS TO RESELL AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER
AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE
Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized transactions and
are recorded at principal or contract value. It is MBIA Corp.'s policy to take
possession of securities purchased under agreements to resell.
MBIA Corp. minimizes the credit risk that counterparties to transactions
might be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring customer
credit exposure and collateral value and requiring additional collateral to be
deposited with MBIA Corp. when deemed necessary.
POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Policy acquisition costs include only those expenses that relate primarily to,
and vary with, premium production. For business produced directly by MBIA Corp.,
such costs include compensation of employees involved in underwriting and policy
issuance functions, certain rating agency fees, state premium taxes and certain
other underwriting expenses, reduced by ceding commission income on premiums
ceded to reinsurers. Policy acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over
the period in which the related premiums are earned.
PREMIUM REVENUE RECOGNITION
Premiums are earned pro rata over the period of risk. Premiums are allocated to
each bond maturity based on par amount and are earned on a straight-line basis
over the term of each maturity. When an insured issue is retired early, is
called by the issuer, or is in substance paid in advance through a refunding or
defeasance accomplished by placing U.S. Government securities in escrow, the
<PAGE>
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
remaining deferred premium revenue, net of the portion which is credited to a
new policy in those cases where MBIA Corp. insures the refunding issue, is
earned at that time, since there is no longer risk to MBIA Corp. Accordingly,
deferred premium revenue represents the portion of premiums written that is
applicable to the unexpired risk of insured bonds and notes.
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisitions over the tangible net
assets acquired. Goodwill attributed to the acquisition of MBIA Corp. is
amortized by the straight-line method over 25 years. Goodwill attributed to the
acquisition of MBIA Illinois is amortized according to the recognition of future
profits from its deferred premium revenue and installment premiums, except for a
minor portion attributed to state licenses, which is amortized by the
straight-line method over 25 years.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consists of MBIA Corp.'s headquarters, furniture,
fixtures and equipment, which are recorded at cost and are depreciated on the
straight-line method over their estimated service lives ranging from 2 to 31
years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.
LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES
Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) are established in an
amount equal to MBIA Corp.'s estimate of the identified and unidentified losses,
including costs of settlement, on the obligations it has insured.
To the extent that specific insured issues are identified as currently or
likely to be in default, the present value of expected payments, including loss
and LAE associated with these issues, net of expected recoveries, is allocated
within the total loss reserve as case-specific reserves. Management of MBIA
Corp. periodically evaluates its estimates for losses and LAE and any resulting
adjustments are reflected in current earnings. Management believes that the
reserves are adequate to cover the ultimate net cost of claims, but the reserves
are necessarily based on estimates, and there can be no assurance that the
ultimate liability will not exceed such estimates.
INCOME TAXES
MBIA Corp. is included in the consolidated tax return of MBIA Inc. The tax
provision for MBIA Corp. for financial reporting purposes is determined on a
stand alone basis. Any benefit derived by MBIA Corp. as a result of the tax
<PAGE>
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
sharing agreement with MBIA Inc. and its subsidiaries is reflected directly in
shareholder's equity for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income taxes are provided with respect to the temporary
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts in the financial statements that will result in deductibles or taxable
amounts in future years when the reported amount of the asset or liability is
recovered or settled. Such temporary differences relate principally to premium
revenue recognition, deferred acquisition costs and the contingency reserve.
The Internal Revenue Code permits companies writing financial guarantee
insurance to deduct from taxable income amounts added to the statutory
contingency reserve, subject to certain limitations. The tax benefits obtained
from such deductions must be invested in non-interest bearing U.S. Government
tax and loss bonds. MBIA Corp. records purchases of tax and loss bonds as
payments of federal income taxes. The amounts deducted must be restored to
taxable income when the contingency reserve is released, at which time MBIA
Corp. may present the tax and loss bonds for redemption to satisfy the
additional tax liability.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at
year-end exchange rates. Operating results are translated at average rates of
exchange prevailing during the year. Unrealized gains or losses resulting from
translation are included as a separate component of shareholder's equity.
3. STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of GAAP, which differs
in certain respects from the statutory accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by the insurance regulatory authorities. Statutory accounting
practices differ from GAAP in the following respects:
o premiums are earned only when the related risk has expired rather than over
the period of the risk;
o acquisition costs are charged to operations as incurred rather than
deferred and amortized as the related premiums are earned;
<PAGE>
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
o a contingency reserve is computed on the basis of statutory requirements,
and reserves for losses and LAE are established, at present value, for
specific insured issues which are identified as currently or likely to be
in default. Under GAAP, reserves are established based on MBIA Corp.'s
reasonable estimate of the identified and unidentified losses and LAE on
the insured obligations it has written;
o federal income taxes are only provided on taxable income for which income
taxes are currently payable, while under GAAP, deferred income taxes are
provided with respect to temporary differences;
o fixed-maturity securities are reported at amortized cost rather than fair
value;
o tax and loss bonds purchased are reflected as admitted assets as well as
payments of income taxes; and
o certain assets designated as "non-admitted assets" are charged directly
against surplus but are reflected as assets under GAAP.
The following is a reconciliation of consolidated shareholder's equity
presented on a GAAP basis to statutory capital and surplus for MBIA Corp. and
its subsidiaries:

between financial and taxable income. Accordingly, MBIA Corp.'s effective income
tax rate differs from the statutory rate on ordinary income. The reasons for
MBIA Corp.'s lower effective tax rates are as follows:

MBIA Corp. recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
<PAGE>

differences are expected to reverse. The effect on tax assetsand liabilities of
a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax
assets and liabilities at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are presented below:

8. DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Under New York state insurance law, MBIA Corp. may pay a dividend only from
earned surplus subject to the maintenance of a minimum capital requirement. The
dividends in any 12-month period may not exceed the lesser of 10% of its
policyholders' surplus as shown on its last filed statutory-basis financial
statements, or of adjusted net investment income, as defined, for such 12-month
period, without prior approval of the superintendent of the New York State
Insurance Department.
In accordance with such restrictions on the amount of dividends which can
be paid in any 12-month period, MBIA Corp. had $118 million available for the
payment of dividends as of December 31, 1996. In 1996, 1995 and 1994, MBIA Corp.
declared and paid dividends of $29 million, $83 million and $38 million,
respectively, to MBIA Inc.
Under Illinois Insurance Law, MBIA Illinois may pay a dividend from
unassigned surplus, and the dividends in any 12-month period may not exceed the
<PAGE>
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
greater of 10% of policyholders' surplus (total capital and surplus) at the end
of the preceding calendar year, or the net income of the preceding calendar year
without prior approval of the Illinois State Insurance Department.
In accordance with such restrictions on the amount of dividends which can
be paid in any 12-month period, MBIA Illinois had $10 million available for the
payment of dividends as of December 31, 1996.
The insurance departments of New York state and certain other statutory
insurance regulatory authorities and the agencies that rate the bonds insured by
MBIA Corp. and its subsidiaries have various requirements relating to the
maintenance of certain minimum ratios of statutory capital and reserves to net
insurance in force. MBIA Corp. and its subsidiaries were in compliance with
these requirements as of December 31, 1996.
9. LINES OF CREDIT
MBIA Corp. has a standby line of credit commitment in the amount of $725 million
with a group of major banks to provide loans to MBIA Corp. if it incurs
cumulative losses (net of any recoveries) from September 30, 1996 in excess of
the greater of $500 million or 6.25% of average annual debt service. The
obligation to repay loans made under this agreement is a limited recourse
obligation payable solely from, and collateralized by, a pledge of recoveries
realized on defaulted insured obligations including certain installment premiums
and other collateral. This commitment has a seven-year term expiring on
September 30, 2003 and contains an annual renewal provision subject to approval
by the bank group.
MBIA Corp. and MBIA Inc. maintain bank liquidity facilities aggregating
$300 million. At December 31, 1996, MBIA Inc. had $29.1 million outstanding
under these facilities.
10. NET INSURANCE IN FORCE
MBIA Corp. guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on municipal,
asset-/mortgage-backed and other non-municipal securities. MBIA Corp.'s ultimate
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the insured is
represented by the insurance in force as set forth below.
<PAGE>
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The insurance policies issued by MBIA Corp. are unconditional commitments
to guarantee timely payment on the bonds and notes to bondholders. The
creditworthiness of each insured issue is evaluated prior to the issuance of
insurance and each insured issue must comply with MBIA Corp.'s underwriting
guidelines. Further, the payments to be made by the issuer on the bonds or notes
may be backed by a pledge of revenues, reserve funds, letters of credit,
investment contracts or collateral in the form of mortgages or other assets. The
right to such money or collateral would typically become MBIA Corp.'s upon the
payment of a claim by MBIA Corp.
As of December 31, 1996, insurance in force, net of cessions to reinsurers,
had a range of maturity of 1-42 years. The distribution of net insurance in
force by geographic location and type of bond, including $3.3 billion and
$2.7 billion relating to IMC's municipal investment agreements guaranteed by
MBIA Corp. in 1996 and 1995, respectively, is set forth in the following tables:

11. REINSURANCE
MBIA Corp. reinsures portions of its risks with other insurance companies
through various quota and surplus share reinsurance treaties and facultative
agreements. In the event that any or all of the reinsurers were unable to meet
their obligations, MBIA Corp. would be liable for such defaulted amounts.
Amounts deducted from gross insurance in force for reinsurance ceded by
MBIA Corp. and its subsidiaries were $57.6 billion and $50.1 billion, at
<PAGE>

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
MBIA Corp. participates in MBIA Inc.'s pension plan covering substantially all
employees. The pension plan is a defined contribution plan and MBIA Corp.
contributes 10% of each eligible employee's annual total compensation. Pension
expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $3.4 million,
$3.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. MBIA Corp. also has a profit
sharing/401(k) plan which allows eligible employees to contribute up to 10% of
eligible compensation. MBIA Corp. matches employee contributions up to the first
5% of total compensation. MBIA Corp. contributions to the profit sharing plan
<PAGE>
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
aggregated $1.5 million, $1.4 million and $1.4 million for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The 401(k) plan amounts are
invested in common stock of MBIA Inc. Amounts relating to the above plans that
exceed limitations established by Federal regulations are contributed to a
non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Of the above amounts for the pension
and profit sharing plans, $3.0 million, $2.7 million and $2.6 million for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, are included in
policy acquisition costs.
MBIA Corp. also participates in MBIA Inc.'s common stock incentive plan
which enables employees of MBIA Corp. to acquire shares of MBIA Inc. or to
benefit from appreciation in the price of the common stock of MBIA Inc.
MBIA Corp. also participates in MBIA Inc.'s restricted stock program,
adopted in December 1995, whereby key executive officers of MBIA Corp. are
granted restricted shares of MBIA Inc. common stock. During 1996 and 1995, the
amounts amortized were $164,000 and $9,000, respectively, of which $102,000 and
$5,000 are included in policy acquisition costs.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. SFAS 123 required MBIA Inc. to adopt, at its election,
either 1) the provisions in SFAS 123 which require the recognition of
compensation expense for employee stock-based compensation plans, or 2) the
provisions in SFAS 123 which require the pro forma disclosure of net income and
earnings per share as if the recognition provisions of SFAS 123 had been
adopted. MBIA Inc. adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 effective
January 1, 1996 and continues to account for its employee stock-based
compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees". Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS 123 had no
impact on MBIA Corp.'s financial position or results of operations. Had
compensation cost for the MBIA Inc. stock option program been recognized based
on the fair value at the grant date consistent with the recognition provisions
of SFAS 123, the impact on MBIA Corp.'s net income would not have been material.
However, since the options vest over five years and additional awards could be
made in future years, the effects of applying SFAS 123 in 1996 are not likely to
be representative of the effects on reported net income for future years.
13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Since 1989, MBIA Corp. has executed five surety bonds to guarantee the payment
obligations of the members of the Association, one of which is a former
principal shareholder of MBIA Inc., which had their Standard & Poor's
Corporation claims-paying rating downgraded from Triple-A on their previously
issued Association policies. In the event that they do not meet their
Association policy payment obligations, MBIA Corp. will pay the required amounts
directly to the paying agent instead of to the former Association member as was
previously required. The aggregate amount payable by MBIA Corp. on these surety
bonds is limited to $340 million. These surety bonds remain outstanding as of
December 31, 1996.
MBIA Corp. had investment management and advisory agreements with an
affiliate of a former principal shareholder of MBIA Inc., which provided for
payment of fees on assets under management. Total related expenses for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 amounted to $2.5 million and $2.6 million,
respectively. These agreements were terminated on January 1, 1996 at which time
CMC assumed full management of MBIA Corp.'s consolidated investment portfolios.
Total fees paid to CMC on assets under management for the years
<PAGE>
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 amounted to $2.8 million and $0.1 million,
respectively.
MBIA Corp. has various insurance coverages provided by a former principal
shareholder of MBIA Inc., the cost of which totaled $2.1 million, $1.9 million
and $1.9 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994.
Included in other assets at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is $2.0 million and
$1.1 million of net receivables from MBIA Inc. and other subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 1996, MBIA Corp. held securities subject to agreements
to resell of $108.9 million, and transferred securities subject to agreements to
repurchase of $108.9 million with IMC and MBIA Inc. These agreements have a term
of less than one year. The interest expense paid and income received relating to
these agreements for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $2.3 million and $2.4
million, respectively.
14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments shown in the following
table have been determined by MBIA Corp. using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies. However, in certain cases considerable
judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop estimates
of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amount MBIA Corp. could realize in a current market exchange.
The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have
a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
FIXED-MATURITY SECURITIES - The fair value of fixed-maturity securities is based
upon quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not
available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar
securities.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost
which approximates fair value.
OTHER INVESTMENTS - Other investments include MBIA Corp.'s interest in a limited
partnership and a mutual fund that invests principally in marketable
<PAGE>
MBIA INSURANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
equity securities. The fair value of these investments is based on quoted market
prices.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, RECEIVABLE FOR INVESTMENTS SOLD AND PAYABLE FOR
INVESTMENTS PURCHASED - The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable
estimate of their fair value.
SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENTS TO RESELL - The fair value is estimated
based upon the quoted market prices of the transactions' underlying collateral.
PREPAID REINSURANCE PREMIUMS - The fair value of MBIA Corp.'s prepaid
reinsurance premiums is based on the estimated cost of entering into an
assumption of the entire portfolio with third party reinsurers under current
market conditions.
DEFERRED PREMIUM REVENUE - The fair value of MBIA Corp.'s deferred premium
revenue is based on the estimated cost of entering into a cession of the entire
portfolio with third party reinsurers under current market conditions.
LOSS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE RESERVES - The carrying amount is composed of
the present value of the expected cash flows for specifically identified claims
combined with an estimate for unidentified claims. Therefore, the carrying
amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the reserve.
SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE - The fair value is estimated
based upon the quoted market prices of the transactions' underlying collateral.
INSTALLMENT PREMIUMS - The fair value is derived by calculating the present
value of the estimated future cash flow stream discounted at 9%.

statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have not been audited by independent accountants in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards but in the opinion of
management such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's
financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 may not be indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. The December 31, 1996
condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but
does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances
have been eliminated. Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior years'
financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
