INTRODUCTORY NOTE

FIA Card Services, National Association (“FIA”) is the originator, seller, and servicer under the Second Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 20, 2006 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Agreement”), and the Series 1997-B Supplement dated as of February 27, 1997 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) by and between FIA and the trustee, providing for the issuance of the BA Master Credit Card Trust II Series 1997-B Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates (the “Certificates”) and is the originator of the BA Master Credit Card Trust II (the “Trust” and the “Registrant”). The Certificates do not represent obligations of or interests in FIA. In November 1988, FIA (formerly known as MBNA America Bank, National Association) made application under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for an exemption from certain reporting requirements. On December 30, 1988, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance granted FIA’s exemption request, pursuant to which FIA is not required to respond to various items of Form 10-K. Such items are designated herein as “Not Applicable”.

Item 3: Legal Proceedings.

Industry Developments

FIA issues credit cards on MasterCard’s and Visa’s networks.  MasterCard and Visa are subject to settlement obligations relating to certain litigations and continue to be subject to significant ongoing litigations, including class actions, and increased competition.  These settlements and litigations are based on, among other things, claimed violations of United States federal antitrust laws, claims that currency conversion fees were wrongly applied on purchases of goods and services in foreign countries, and claims alleging that the interchange charged by MasterCard and Visa is impermissible.  The costs associated with these settlements, litigations and other matters could cause MasterCard and Visa to invest less in their networks and marketing efforts and could adversely affect the interchange paid to their member banks, including FIA.

Litigation

A group of merchants have filed a series of putative class actions and individual actions with regard to interchange fees associated with Visa and MasterCard payment card transactions.  These actions, which have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York under the caption In Re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Anti-Trust Litigation (“Interchange”), name Visa, MasterCard and several banks and bank holding companies, including Bank of America Corporation, as defendants.  Plaintiffs allege that the defendants conspired to fix the level of default interchange rates, which represent the fee an issuing bank charges an acquiring bank on every transaction.  Plaintiffs also challenge as unreasonable restraints of trade under Section 1 of the Sherman Act certain rules of Visa and MasterCard related to merchant acceptance of payment cards at the point of sale.  Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and injunctive relief based on their assertion that interchange would be lower or eliminated absent the alleged conduct.  On January 8, 2008, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss all claims for pre-2004 damages.  Motions to dismiss the remainder of the complaint and plaintiffs’ motion for class certification are pending.

In addition, plaintiffs filed supplemental complaints against certain defendants, including Bank of America Corporation, relating to initial public offerings (the “IPOs”) of MasterCard and Visa.  Plaintiffs allege that the MasterCard and Visa IPOs violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act and Section 1 of the Sherman Act.  Plaintiffs also assert that the MasterCard IPO was a fraudulent conveyance.  Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and to undo the IPOs.  Motions to dismiss both supplemental complaints were filed in March 2009 and the motions remain pending.  On June 20, 2011, plaintiffs and defendants both moved for summary judgment.  Those motions are also pending; oral argument on the summary judgment motions is scheduled for November 2, 2011.  Trial has been scheduled to begin on September 12, 2012.

Bank of America Corporation and certain of its affiliates previously entered into loss-sharing agreements with Visa and other financial institutions in connection with certain antitrust litigation against Visa, including Interchange.  Bank of America Corporation and these same affiliates have now entered into additional loss-sharing agreements for Interchange that cover all defendants, including MasterCard.  Collectively, the loss-sharing agreements require Bank of America Corporation and/or certain affiliates to pay 11.6 percent of the monetary portion of any comprehensive Interchange settlement.  In the event of an adverse judgment, the agreements require Bank of America Corporation and/or certain affiliates to pay 12.8 percent of any damages associated with Visa-related claims (“Visa-related damages”), 9.1 percent of any damages associated
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 

 with MasterCard-related claims, and 11.6 percent of any damages associated with internetwork claims (“internetwork damages”) or not associated specifically with Visa or MasterCard-related claims (“unassigned damages”).

Pursuant to Visa’s publicly-disclosed Retrospective Responsibility Plan (the “RRP”), Visa placed certain proceeds from its IPO into an escrow fund (the “Escrow”).  Under the RRP, funds in the Escrow may be accessed by Visa and its members, including Bank of America, to pay for a comprehensive settlement or damages in Interchange, with Bank of America Corporation’s payments from the Escrow capped at 12.81 percent of the funds that Visa places therein.  Subject to that cap, Bank of America Corporation may use Escrow funds to cover: 73.9 percent of its monetary payment towards a comprehensive Interchange settlement, 100 percent of its payment for any Visa-related damages and 73.9 percent of its payment for any internetwork damages and unassigned damages.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To FIA Card Services, National Association:

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying report by management, titled “Report of Management on BA Master Credit Card Trust II and BA Credit Card Trust Internal Control” (the “Report”), that FIA Card Services, National Association (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation, maintained effective internal control over the functions performed as servicer of the BA Master Credit Card Trust II (the “Master Trust”) and the BA Credit Card Trust (the “Note Trust”, together with the Master Trust, the “Trusts”), including each series of the Master Trust and each tranche of the Note Trust as specified in the Report, as of June 30, 2011 to provide reasonable assurance that the Trusts’ assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and that the servicing of the Trusts’ assets is conducted and recorded in conformity with the Second Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Master Trust dated October 20, 2006 (the “PSA”) between the Company, BA Credit Card Funding, LLC and The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”), the Series Supplement to Second Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Master Trust for each series as specified in the Report (the “Series Supplements”) between the Company, BA Credit Card Funding, LLC and the Trustee, the Second Amended and Restated Indenture for the Note Trust dated October 20, 2006 (the “Indenture”) and the Amended and Restated BAseries Indenture Supplement dated June 10, 2006 (the “Indenture Supplement”), both between the Note Trust and the Trustee (the PSA, Series Supplements, Indenture and Indenture Supplement, together the “Agreements”) to permit the preparation of the required financial reports.  The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over the functions performed as servicer of the Trusts.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included obtaining an understanding of internal control over the functions performed by the Company as servicer of the Trusts, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  Also, projections of any evaluation of internal control over the functions performed by the Company as servicer of the Trusts to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Company maintained effective internal control over the functions performed as servicer of the Trusts as of June 30, 2011 to provide reasonable assurance that the Trusts’ assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and that the servicing of the Trusts’ assets is conducted and recorded in conformity with the Agreements to permit the preparation of the required financial reports is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the following criteria specified in the Report:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 


·  
Funds collected are remitted to the Trustee in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
The Trusts’ assets are segregated from those retained by the Company in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
Expenses incurred by the Trusts are calculated and remitted in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
The additions of accounts to the Trusts are authorized in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
The removals of accounts from the Trusts are authorized in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
The Trusts’ assets amortizing out of the Trusts are calculated in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
Monthly Trust reports generated in the form of “Exhibits” and provided to the Trustee are reviewed by a Vice President or above prior to distribution.

·  
Monthly Trust reports generated in the form of “Exhibits” contain all information required by the Agreements.

Report of Management on BA Master Credit Card Trust II and BA Credit Card Trust Internal Control


FIA Card Services, National Association (“FIA” or the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over the functions performed as the servicer of the BA Master Credit Card Trust II and the BA Credit Card Trust (the “Trusts” or individually, the “Trust”).  These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors that the Trusts’ assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that the servicing of the Trusts’ assets was conducted and  recorded in conformity with the applicable Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Series Supplements, Indenture and BAseries Indenture Supplement (together the “Agreements”) as specified in Appendix I, between FIA as Seller and Servicer, in the case of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series Supplements, or BA Credit Card Trust, in the case of the Indenture and the BAseries Indenture Supplement, and the applicable Trustee (specific Agreements and Trustees are listed in Appendix I) to permit the preparation of the required financial reports.

Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, no matter how well-designed, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected, including the possibility of the circumvention or overriding of internal control.  Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the achievement of any objectives of internal control.  Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.

The Company has determined that the objectives of controls with respect to servicing and reporting of the Trusts’ assets are to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that:

·  
Funds collected are remitted to the Trustee in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
The Trusts’ assets are segregated from those retained by FIA in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
Expenses incurred by the Trusts are calculated and remitted in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
The additions of accounts to the Trusts are authorized in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
The removals of accounts from the Trusts are authorized in accordance with the Agreements.

Trust Internal Control (continued)

·  
The Trusts’ assets amortizing out of the Trusts are calculated in accordance with the Agreements.

·  
Monthly Trust reports generated in the form of “Exhibits” and provided to the Trustee are reviewed by a Vice President or above prior to distribution.

·  
Monthly Trust reports generated in the form of “Exhibits” contain all information required by the Agreements.

The Company assessed its internal control over the functions performed as servicer of the Trusts in relation to these criteria.  Based upon this assessment, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2011, its internal control over the functions performed as servicer of the Trusts are effective in providing reasonable assurance that the Trusts’ assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that the servicing of the Trusts’ assets was conducted and recorded in conformity with the Agreements to permit the preparation of the required financial reports.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To FIA Card Services, National Association:

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying report by management, titled “Report of Management on BA Master Credit Card Trust II and BA Credit Card Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement/Indenture Compliance” (the “Report”), that FIA Card Services, National Association (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation, complied with the covenants and conditions of sections, specified in the Report, of the Second Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the BA Master Credit Card Trust II dated October 20, 2006 (the “PSA”) between the Company, BA Credit Card Funding, LLC and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Series Supplement to Second Amended and Restated Pooling and Servicing Agreement for each series specified in the Report (the “Series Supplements”) between the Company, BA Credit Card Funding, LLC and The Bank of New York Mellon, the Second Amended and Restated Indenture for the BA Credit Card Trust dated October 20, 2006 (the “Indenture”) and the Amended and Restated BAseries Indenture Supplement dated June 10, 2006 (the “Indenture Supplement”), both between the BA Credit Card Trust and The Bank of New York Mellon (the PSA, Series Supplements, Indenture and Indenture Supplement, together the “Agreements”), during the periods specified in the Report.  Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.  Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned requirements during the periods specified in the Report is fairly stated, in all material respects.
