Introductory Note Chase Manhattan Marine Owner Trust 1997-A (the "Trust") was formed pursuant to a Trust Agreement (as amended, the "Agreement") among The Chase Manhattan Bank and Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association (the "Bank"), as sellers, and an unrelated trustee (the "Trustee"). The Trust files reports pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in the manner described in "no-action" letters submitted to the Office of the Chief Counsel on behalf of the originators of comparable trusts. Accordingly, responses to certain Items have been omitted from or modified in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Part I Item 1. Business Omitted. Item 2. Properties The Trust has acquired certain marine loan receivables from the Bank pursuant to a Sale and Servicing Agreement (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement"). The aggregate amount of losses on all liquidated receivables with respect to the assets of the Trust for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $1,570,320.50. As of December 31, 2000, the aggregate principal balance of receivables in the Trust was $81,862,653.28 and the aggregate principal balance of delinquent receivables in the Trust were as follows: Delinquency Principal Balance ----------- ----------------- 31-59 days $1,115,240.82 60-89 days $405,524.17 90-119 days $ 210,324.28 120+ days $0.00 Item 3. Legal Proceedings The registrant knows of no material pending proceedings with respect to the Trust, the Trustee or the Bank. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fiscal year covered by this report. Part II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholders Matters The registrant has no voting stock or class of common stock outstanding as of the date of this report. The beneficial interest in the Trust is represented by certificates of beneficial interest (the "Certificates"). The Trust also has four outstanding classes of debt securities (the "Notes") as set forth below. To the knowledge of the registrant, the Certificates and the Notes are traded in the over-the-counter market to a limited extent. As of December 31, 2000, the Certificates and the Notes were registered in the name of the registrants, and all of the Notes were registered in the name of CEDE and Co. The registrant understands that CEDE and Co. is the nominee for the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). The registrant further understands that DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the Certificates and the Notes held of record by CEDE & Co., and that DTC knows only the identity of the participants to whose accounts such Certificates and Notes are credited, who may or may not be the beneficial owners of the Certificates and the Notes. The Commission has concurred with the registrant's position that the registrant may consider holders of interests in the DTC System or DTC participants to be "holders of record" and the following information is presented on that basis: Class No. of Holders ----- -------------- A4 4 A5 4 A6 1 B 1 C 1 Item 6. Selected Financial Data Omitted. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Omitted. Item 7A.
