things, receivables consisting of motor vehicle installment contracts
("Receivables") secured by motor vehicles, rights to receive certain principal
and interest payments with respect to such Receivables, security interests in
the motor vehicles financed thereby and the proceeds thereof. On March 30,
1999, the Trust issued $100,000,000 5.95% Class A Asset Backed Notes (the
"Notes").
This Annual Report on Form 10-K has been filed in substantially the form
that the Division of Corporate Finance, in the no-action letters referred to
above, has stated that it would not object to.
