Item 5. Other Events:
On April 1, 2000, the Trust added to its portfolio the credit card
receivables in a group of 687,758 accounts, respectively, with a total
outstanding principal amount of $1,137,461,390.13. Including the April 1
addition, the total outstanding principal amount of receivables added to the
Trust since December 31, 1999 is $2,220,809,061.83. The total outstanding
principal amount of receivables in the trust portfolio after the addition was
$20,420,851,673.91. The management of Chase USA believes that the addition of
the new receivables will have no material effect on the Trust or the asset
backed certificates of the Trust.
A copy of the executed Assignments adding to the portfolio is being
filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
