PART I
Item 1. Business.
Not Applicable.
Item 2. Properties.
The Fleetwood Credit 1996-B Grantor Trust (the "Trust") was formed
and its asset backed certificates (the "Certificates") were issued
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September
1, 1996 (the "Agreement"), between Fleetwood Credit Receivables
Corp., a California corporation, as Seller (the "Seller"), and
Fleetwood Credit Corp., a California corporation, as Servicer (the
"Servicer") and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee of the Trust
(the "Trustee"). The Certificates consist of one class of senior
certificates, (the "Class A Certificates") and one class of
subordinated certificates, (the "Class B Certificates"). The Class A
Certificates represent an undivided ownership interest of ninety-six
point five percent (96.5%) of the Trust and the Class B Certificates
represent an undivided ownership interest of three point five percent
(3.5%) the Trust. The Class B Certificates are subordinate to the
Class A Certificates in regard to the right to receive payments in
the event of delinquency or default on the Receivables (as defined
below). Capitalized terms herein, unless otherwise defined herein,
shall have the meanings specified in the Agreement.
The property of the Trust includes a pool of simple interest retail
installment sale contracts (the "Receivables") between dealers (the
"Dealers") in new and used recreational vehicles, manufactured
primarily by subsidiaries of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc., and retail
purchasers (the "Obligors"), and all payments due thereunder on or
after September 1, 1996 (the "Cutoff Date") other than accrued
interest owing on Receivables prior to the Cutoff Date. The
Receivables were originated by Dealers and subsequently assigned to
the Servicer, and are serviced by the Servicer and evidence the
indirect financing made available by the Servicer to the Obligors.
The property of the Trust also includes: (i) such amounts as from
time to time may be held in an interest bearing trust account
established and maintained by the Seller with the Trustee pursuant to
the Agreement (the Subordinated Reserve Fund), and the proceeds
thereof; (ii) security interests in the financed vehicles and any
accessions thereto; (iii) benefits under the subordination of the
Class B Certificates and the Servicer Letter of Credit; (iv) any
recourse rights of the Seller against Dealers; and (v) the right to
proceeds of physical damage, credit life, and disability insurance
policies covering the financed vehicles or the Obligors.
As of September 1, 1996, the Receivables included in the pool
consisted of 8,570 contracts with an aggregate value of
$205,480,433.58.
As of December 31, 1996, the end of the year of the Trust for which
this Form 10-K Annual Report is being filed, there were 8,206
contracts with an aggregate value of $191,599,819.86 outstanding.
The change in the aggregate principal balance of the Receivables
between September 1, 1996, and December 31, 1996, was due to:
(i) scheduled principal payments, made by or on behalf of the
Obligors on the Receivables; and (ii) payment in full of 77
Receivables. There were no repurchases of defaulted Receivables
pursuant to the Reserve Fund. The net loss on Receivables for the
period from September 1, 1996, through December 31, 1996, was
$42,818.04. The aggregate amount recovered from sales of
repossessed vehicles during the period was $51,552.12.
At December 31, 1996, there were twelve (12) accounts with an
aggregate principal balance of $255,918.62 that were 30-59 days
delinquent, three (3) accounts with an aggregate principal balance of
$47,052.70 that were 60-89 days delinquent, and one (1) account with
an aggregate principal balance of $3,322.82 that was 90 or more days
delinquent. The foregoing delinquent balances represent 0.133%,
0.025%, 0.002% respectively, of the outstanding pool balance as of
December 31, 1996 (0.160% in total).
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Registrant knows of no material legal proceedings with respect
to the Trust, involving the Trust, the Trustee or the Company, as
