GE Commercial Distribution Finance, as Servicer:

 

We have examined the accompanying assertion made by management of GE Commercial Distribution Finance’s (GECDF) compliance, as sub-servicer, with the servicing requirements in Article II, Sections 2.1,2.2, 2.4, and 2.5 of the Servicing Agreement between Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. (Yamaha) and GECDF dated March 1, 1994, among Yamaha as master servicer and GECDF as sub-servicer, for the period March 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004. Management is responsible for GECDF’s compliance with the aforementioned sections of the Agreement. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about GECDF’s compliance based upon our examination.

 

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about GECDF’s compliance with the aforementioned sections of the Agreement 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 GECDF’s compliance with the aforementioned sections of the Agreement.

 

In our opinion, management’s assertion that GECDF was in compliance with the aforementioned sections of the Agreement for the period March 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
