Exhibit 99.1
ANNUAL SERVICER'S CERTIFICATE
BANK ONE, ARIZONA, N.A.
BANK ONE AUTO GRANTOR TRUST 1996-B
The undersigned, a duly authorized representative of Bank One, Arizona, N.A., as
Servicer (the "Servicer"), pursuant to Section 3.10(a) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of June 1, 1996 (the "Agreement") between the
Servicer, Banc One ABS Corporation, as Seller, and Bankers Trust Company, as
Trustee, does hereby certify on behalf of the Servicer as follows:
1) Bank One, Arizona, N.A., is, as of the date hereof, the Servicer under the
Agreement.
2) Capitalized terms used in this Certificate have their respective meanings as
set forth in the Agreement.
3) A review of the activities of the Servicer during the period from January 1,
1997 to December 31, 1997 (the "Applicable Period") and of its performance
under the Agreement has been made by me or under my supervision.
4) Based on such review, the Servicer has, to the best of my knowledge,
fulfilled all its obligations under the Agreement throughout the Applicable
period and no default in the fulfillment of such obligations has occurred or
is continuing except as set forth in paragraph 5 below.
5) The following is a description of each default in the performance of the
Servicer's obligations under the provisions of the Agreement known to me to
have been made by the Servicer during the year ended December 31, 1997.
a) Errors were discovered in each of the Distribution Date Statements with
respect to calculations, payments and reporting required to be made by
the Servicer pursuant to the Agreement. The errors were found beginning
with the Distribution Date Statement reflecting the Trust's activities
for the Collection Period from June 1, 1996 through June 30, 1996
(Collection Period) and continuing with each successive Distribution Date
Statement through and including the Distribution Date Statement
reflecting the Trust's activities for the July 1997 Collection Period.
The errors in each of the Distribution Date Statements affected, among
other things, the reported amount of principal and interest collections
received by the Trust during each collection period, beginning with the
June 1996 Collection Period.
In aggregate, the attached reconciliation (Exhibit A) reflects an
underpayment to Certificateholders of $1,487,397.50 in principal and
$3,633.41 in interest totaling $1,491,030.91. In addition, there was an
overpayment of interest to the Certificateholders of approximately
$25,000 from the June 1996 Collection Period through the July 1997
Collection Period.
The Servicer deposited from its own funds, the sum of $1,491,030.91 into
the Collection Account for subsequent distribution to the
Certificateholders on the September 1997 Distribution Date. The Servicer
waived all rights and claims with respect to the interest which the
Servicer paid in excess of that required through the July 1997 Collection
Period.
The payment of the understated principal amount as noted above cured all
deficiencies due the Certificateholders from the Closing Date through the
July 1997 Collection Period.
The Servicer prepared amended and restated Distribution Date Statements
for the Collection Period beginning June 1, 1996 through June 30, 1996
and continuing with each successive Distribution Date Statement up
through and including the Distribution Date Statement reflecting the
Trust's collection activity through July 1997. The amended and restated
Distribution Date Statements were delivered to the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies (Standard and Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service)
in August 1997.
b) The Servicer did not provide to the Trustee and Rating Agencies an Annual
Independent Certified Public Accountants' Report, known generally as the
Agreed Upon Procedures Report, for the period January 1, 1996 through
December 31, 1996 as defined in Section 3.11 of the Agreement. The
inability of the Servicer to provide such report is the direct result of
a change in AICPA's Professional Standards (SAS#75) which governs the
preparation and distribution of such report. In general, SAS#75 limits
the usage of this report unless the users take responsibility for the
specific procedures to be performed. The Servicer's inability to provide
the Agreed Upon Procedures Report was discussed with the Trustee and the
Rating Agencies.
In lieu of providing the Agreed Upon Procedures Report, the Servicer
provided to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies a report issued by a firm
of independent certified public accountants to the effect that (i) such
accountants have examined the assertions by the Servicer's management
that, as of December 31, 1996, the Servicer maintained effective internal
controls over the servicing of the Receivables and (ii) such assertion is
fairly stated in all material respects.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has duly executed and delivered this
Certificate as of the 31st day of December 1997.
BANK ONE, ARIZONA, N.A., as Servicer
