                                     PART I


     Item 1. Business.

               The sole and only  "business" of the Trust is the  collection and
          distribution   of   payments  on  the   automobile   and  light  truck
          receivables,  in the manner described in the  Registration  Statement.
          Accordingly, there is no relevant information to report in response to
          Item 101 of Regulation S-K.

     Item 2.  Properties.

               The Trust  does not have any  physical  properties.  Accordingly,
          this item 2 is inapplicable.

     Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

               There are no material pending legal proceedings  involving either
          the Trust,  or, with  respect to any  Certificates  or any other trust
          property, involving the Trustee or the Company.

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

               No Votes or consents of  Certificateholders  are solicited during
          the preceding fiscal year for any purpose.

                                     PART II

     Item 5.  Market  Price or and  Dividends  on the  Registrant's  Equity  and
Related Stockholder Matters.

          There is no established public trading market for the Certificates.

          As  of  June  30,  1997,   there  were   thirty-five  (35)  registered
     Certificateholders.  The Trust pays no dividends. See Exhibit 99-1 and 99-2
     for information with respect to distribution to Certificateholders.

     Item 6.  Selected Financial Data.

          No financial data is required of UAC  Securitization  Corporation,  as
     Registrant  (Registration Statement No. 333-06929-02 on form S-3), inasmuch
     as the  Registration  Statement was filed for and on behalf of UACSC 1996-C
     Auto Trust and, furthermore,  because of UAC Securitization  Corporation is
     not  a  guarantor   of  any  of  the   payments   due  from  the  Trust  to
     Certificateholders.

          The  regular  monthly  report  form,  which the Trustee is required to
     include   with   each   monthly    distribution    of   Trust   assets   to
     Certificateholders,  sets forth for the prior  calendar  month,  as well as
     cumulatively,  all of the relevant  financial  information  required by the
     applicable   pooling  and   servicing   agreement  to  be   reportable   to
     Certificateholders.

          The UAC  Securitization  Corporation  UACSC 1996-C Auto Trust  Monthly
     Servicer's  Certificate  Reports for the months ending April 30, 1997,  May
     31, 1997;  Consolidated  Monthly  Servicer's  Certificate  Report,  for the
     period  August 31, 1996 through June 30,  19977;  and the December 31, 1996
     and 1995 Financial Statements of Capital Markets Assurance Corporation, the
     surety bond issuer are incorporated herein by reference and attached hereto
     as Exhibits (Exhibit No. 99-1, 99-2 and 99-3, respectively).

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

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

          Because  of  the  limited   business   activity  of  the  Trust,   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 statements and consolidated summary annual statement.

     Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

          As discussed above,  furnishing the traditional  financial information
     required by Item 8 of Form 10-K would not add relevant  information to that
     provided  by  the  foregoing   statements.   

     Item  9.   Disagreements  with  Accountants  on  Accounting  and  Financial
Disclosure. 

          Not applicable.

     Certificateholders,  all of whom maintained  their security  positions with
     the  Depository  Trust  Company.  While  some of these  Certificateholders'
     security positions in the Trust 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.

          Union  Acceptance  Corporation,  as Servicer,  and UAC  Securitization
     Corporation, as Class IC Certificateholder, receive payments from the Trust
     in  accordance  with the  terms of the  applicable  pooling  and  servicing
     agreement.
