The Commission declared effective a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-119047) under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) on September 23, 2004, providing for the issuance by Ace Securities Corp. (“Originator”) of several series of asset-backed securities through a series of trusts to be originated by the Originator. The UPFC Auto Receivables Trust 2005-A (the “Trust”) is one of the trusts to be so originated and the Trust issued the following securities, consisting of Automobile Receivables Backed Notes in three classes, pursuant to a prospectus dated as of April 4, 2005 consisting of a prospectus supplement and base prospectus (the “Prospectus”):

 

$33,000,000 3.122%    Class A-1 Notes
$80,000,000 3.85%    Class A-2 Notes
$82,000,000 4.34%    Class A-3 Notes

 

The Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, and Class A-3 Notes (the “Notes”) were issued by the Trust on April 14, 2005. The Notes are secured by the assets of the Trust. The Notes were issued in fully-registered form. As more fully described in the Prospectus, the assets of the Trust include (i) a pool of “sub-prime” retail installment contracts secured by liens on new and pre-owned automobiles and light trucks (“Receivables”) and (ii) certain accounts maintained by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, including all investments held thereby and all income from the investment of funds therein and all proceeds therefrom. The Trust did not issue any certificates representing ownership interests in the assets of the Trust pursuant to the Prospectus, but did issue certificates to UPFC Auto Receivables Corp. The certificates issued to UPFC Auto Receivables Corp. are not registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, as amended.

 

Information as to the number of Receivables remaining in the Trust, the aggregate unpaid principal balance thereof, the decrease therein, delinquencies on the Receivables, collections of principal and interest made, fees paid to the servicer and the amount of the Policy are set forth in the exhibits attached hereto or incorporated herein in response to Item 16, below.
