We have performed the procedures described below, related to certain information with respect to a portfolio of equipment contracts in connection with the proposed offering of CCG Receivables Trust 2023-2. Commercial Credit Group Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for the information provided to us, including the information set forth in the Statistical Data File (as defined herein)
The Company has agreed to the procedures and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the intended purpose of evaluating the accuracy of certain information set forth in the Statistical Data File. Additionally, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (together with the Company, the “Specified Parties”) has agreed to the procedures and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all of the items of interest to a user of the report and may not meet the needs of all users of the report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. Consequently, we make no representations regarding the appropriateness of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
Agreed-Upon Procedures
On September 12, 2023, representatives of the Company provided us with a computer-generated equipment contract data file and related record layout containing data, as represented to us by the Company, as of the close of business August 31, 2023, with respect to 1,940 equipment contracts (the “Statistical Data File”). At your instruction, we randomly selected 165 equipment contracts from the Statistical Data File (the “Sample Contracts”) and performed certain comparisons and recomputations for each of the Sample Contracts relating to the equipment contract characteristics (the “Characteristics”) set forth on the Statistical Data File and indicated below.
Characteristics
| 1. Contract number (informational purposes only) 2. Customer name 3. Contract type (lease/loan) 4. Residual value 5. Customer state |
6. Payment amount 7. Equipment type 8. Original loan proceeds 9. Contract month of origination |
| Member of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited |
We compared Characteristics 2. and 3. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the Lease Agreement, Promissory Note, including any amendments thereto (collectively, the “Agreement”).
We compared Characteristic 4. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the “Purchase Option Addendum.”
We compared Characteristic 5. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the “Security Agreement” or the Agreement.
We compared Characteristic 6. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the “Amortization Schedule” or “Extension Worksheet.”
We compared Characteristics 7. through 9. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the “Booking Worksheet.”
For purposes of our procedures and at your instruction:
| • | with respect to our comparison of Characteristic 5., for the Sample Contract indicated in Appendix A, we noted a difference with respect to the customer state set forth on the Statistical Data File when compared to the customer state set forth on the Agreement and Security Agreement. For this Sample Contract, we were instructed to perform an additional procedure and compare the customer state set forth on the Statistical Data File to the corresponding information set forth on the “Accounting Worksheet;” |
| • | with respect to our comparison of Characteristic 4., differences of $1.00 or less are deemed to be in agreement; |
| • | with respect to our comparison of Characteristic 7., for those Sample Contracts comprised of multiple pieces of equipment (as indicated on the Booking Worksheet), we observed that the equipment type set forth on the Statistical Data File agrees to one of the equipment types listed on the Booking Worksheet for such Sample Contract; and |
| • | with respect to our comparison of Characteristic 9., for the Sample Contract indicated in Appendix B, we noted a difference with respect to the contract month of origination set forth on the Statistical Data File when compared to the contract month of origination set forth on the Booking Worksheet. For this Sample Contract, we were instructed to perform an additional procedure and compare the contract month of origination set forth on the Statistical Data File to the corresponding information set forth on screen shots from the Company’s servicing system the “Servicing System Screen Shot.” |
The equipment contract documents described above, including any information obtained from the indicated system, and any other related documents used in support of the Characteristics were provided to us by representatives of the Company and are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Contract Documents.” We were not requested to perform, and we did not perform, any procedures with respect to the preparation or verification of any of the information set forth on the Contract Documents and we make no representations concerning the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained therein. In certain instances, our procedures were performed using data imaged facsimiles or photocopies of the Contract Documents. In addition, we make no representations as to whether the Contract Documents are comprehensive or valid instruments or reflect the current prevailing terms with respect to the corresponding Sample Contracts.
Agreed-Upon Procedures’ Findings
The results of the foregoing procedures indicated that the Characteristics set forth on the Statistical Data File were found to be in agreement with the above-mentioned Contract Documents.
