Item 1.      Business

The Registrant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Sierra Financial, Inc.

certain leases ( the "Leases") and interests in equipment underlying the leases
( together the "Receivables") and securitizing the Receivables through the
issuance of Certificates. As a bankruptcy remote entity, the Registrant's
operations are restricted so that (a) it does not engage in business with, or
incur liabilities to, any other entity which may bring bankruptcy proceedings
against the Registrant and 9b) the risk is diminished that it will be
consolidated into the bankruptcy proceedings of any other entity. The Registrant
has no other assets except the Receivables and proceeds thereof.
