ITEM 1.                           Business

Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,  the Company transferred to the

to time in a portfolio  of  revolving  financing  arrangements  with  automobile
dealers to finance their automobile and light truck inventory, collections as to
the receivables, security interests in the vehicles financed thereby and certain

Receivables  Purchase  Agreement  dated as of  December  31,  1991  between  the
Company, as purchaser, and Ford Credit, as seller.

The Company has registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
