ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On March 6, 2000, the Commission declared effective a Registration Statement on
Form S-3 (File No. 333-95233) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), providing for the issuance by the Co-Originators of several
series of asset-backed securities through a series of trusts to be originated by
the Co-Originators. The WFS Financial 2000-A Owner Trust (the "Trust") was the
first of those trusts to be so originated and the Trust issued the following
securities pursuant to a prospectus dated as of March 8, 2000 consisting of a
prospectus supplement and base prospectus (the "Prospectus"):
$216,000,000 of 6.284% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-1,
$340,000,000 of 6.915% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-2,
$365,000,000 of 7.22% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-3, and
$279,000,000 of 7.41% Auto Receivable Backed Notes, Class A-4.
The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes and Class A-4 Notes (the
"Notes") were issued by the Trust on March 15, 2000. Notes are secured by the
assets of the Trust. The Notes were issued in fully-registered form in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As more fully described
in the Prospectus, the assets of the Trust will include (i) a pool of retail
installment contracts secured by liens on new and used automobiles and light
trucks ("Contracts"), (ii) a financial guaranty insurance policy issued by
Financial Security Assurance Inc. (the "Insurer"), and (iii) certain accounts
maintained by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, including all investments held
thereby and all income from the investment of funds therein and all proceeds
therefrom.
Pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement ("Agreement") entered into by and
among the Trust, WFS Financial Inc (the "Master Servicer") and the
Co-Originators of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee will deliver to each
Noteholder with respect to each quarterly distribution to holders of the Notes a
statement (the "Statement to Securityholders") setting forth certain current
information required by the Agreement. In addition, and also as required by the
Agreement, the Master Servicer is required to provide to both the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee a report regarding the assets of the Trust and the
proceeds received by it therefrom as to the quarterly reporting period preceding
each Distribution Date (the "Distribution Date Statement"). Copies of the
Statement to Securityholders and the Distribution Date Statement with respect to
the September 20, 2000 Distribution Date is filed herewith as Exhibits 21.1 and
21.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by this reference. Pursuant to
the Agreement, proceeds of the Contracts in the amount of $121,059,489.51 were
invested by the Indenture Trustee during the Due Period with respect to the
current Distribution Date in the Reinvestment Contract entered into among
Western Financial Bank, WFS Financial Auto Loans 2, Inc. and the Indenture
Trustee (the "RIC"), and $121,059,489.51 was distributed from the RIC to the
Indenture Trustee for distribution to the holders of the Notes and as otherwise
required by the Indenture and Sale and Servicing Agreement applicable to the
Trust on the current Distribution Date.
