                                     Part I

     Terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "PSA") relating the Bay View 1997-RA-1 and
1999-LG-1 Auto Trusts.

Item 1.   Business
------------------

     Bay View Securitization Corporation, or "BVSC", is a Delaware Corporation
formed for the sole purpose of issuing asset-backed securities through Trusts.
Two Trusts have been originated by BVSC: the Bay View 1997-RA-1 and 1999-LG-1
Auto Trusts, or the "Trusts".  The only "business" of the Trusts is the
collection and distribution of payments on the motor vehicle receivables in the
manner described in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-16233).
Accordingly, there is no relevant information to report in response to Item 101
of Regulation S-K.

Item 2.   Properties
--------------------

     BVSC and the Trusts do not have any physical properties.  Accordingly, this
item in inapplicable.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings
---------------------------

     There were no material legal proceedings involving BVSC, the Trusts, or,
any Certificates involving the Trustee which were pending at December 31, 1999,
or as of the date of this report.

Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
-------------------------------------------------------------

     No votes or consents of Certificate-holders were solicited during fiscal
year 1999 for any purpose.

Item 5.   Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matters
-------

     There is no established public trading market for the Certificates.

     As of December 31, 1999, there were 10 registered Certificate-holders of
the Bay View 1997-RA-1 Trust and 27 registered Certificate-holders of the Bay
View 1999-LG-1 Trust.  Since the Trusts pay no dividends with respect to the
Certificates, the information required by Item 201 of Regulation S-K regarding
dividends is inapplicable to the Trusts.  See Exhibit No. 99.1 for information
with respect to distributions to Certificate-holders.

Item 6.   Selected Financial Data
----------------------------------

     No financial data is required of BVSC, as Registrant, inasmuch as the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-16233) was filed for and on
behalf of the Trusts and, furthermore, because BVSC is not a guarantor of any of
the payments due from the Trusts to Certificate-holders.

     The regular monthly report forms, which the Trustee are required to include
with each monthly distribution of the Trusts' assets to Certificate-holders,
sets forth for the prior calendar month, as well as cumulatively, all of the
relevant financial information required by the PSA to be reported to
Certificate-holders.

     The Trusts' Monthly Servicer's Certificate Reports, referred to as the
"Monthly Reports", for the months ended January 31, 1999 through December 31,
1999 are incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit No.
99.1.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     The foregoing presents all relevant financial information relating to the
Trusts.  Because of the limited business activity of the Trusts, the Selected
Financial Data specified in Item 301 of Regulation S-K would not provide any
meaningful additional information.

Part II

Item 7.   Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------

  Because of the limited business activity of the Trusts, the presentation of
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, as otherwise required by Item 303 of Regulation S-K, would not be
meaningful.  All relevant information is contained in the Monthly Reports (filed
under Current Reports on Form 8-K) as described above.

Item 7a.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
--------------------------------------------------------------------

  Because of the limited business activity of the Trusts, the presentation of
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, as required by Item
305 of Regulation S-K, would not be meaningful.  All relevant information is
contained in the Monthly Reports (filed under Current Reports on Form 8-K) as
described above.

Item 8.   Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
-----------------------------------------------------

  As discussed above, furnishing the financial information required by Item 8 of
Form 10-K would not add any relevant information to that provided by the
foregoing statements.  Because the Certificates are essentially "pass-through"
securities, the Trusts will have "income" only in the limited sense of
collecting payments on the motor vehicle-related receivables.  The only material
items of "expense" for the Trusts will be the amounts paid as servicing
compensation and potentially certain payments relating to any credit enhancement
facilities.  The Monthly Reports contained in the Current Reports on Form 8-K
provide complete information on the amounts of the "income" and "expenses" of
the Trusts.

Item 9.   Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Disclosure
--------------------

  None.

                                    Part III

Item 10.   Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant
-------------------------------------------------------------

  Not applicable.

Item 11.   Executive Compensation
---------------------------------

  Not applicable.

Item 12.   Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

  As of December 31, 1999, there were 10 registered Certificate-holders of the
Bay View 1997-RA-1 Trust and 27 registered Certificate-holders of the Bay View
1999-LG-1 Trust, all of whom maintained their security positions with the
Depository Trust Company.  While some of these Certificate-holders' security
positions in the Trusts exceeded 5% of the outstanding Certificate Balance, such
securities do not constitute voting securities within the meaning of Item 403 of
Regulation S-K.

Item 13.   Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
---------------------------------------------------------

  BVSC received payments from the Trusts in accordance with the terms of the
PSA.
