EXHIBIT 20(a)
Report of Independent Accountants on Compliance with
Specified Finance Lease Receivable Servicing Standards
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation
We have examined management's assertion about Toyota Motor Credit Corporation's
(the "Company's") compliance with the servicing standards related to finance
lease receivables identified in Exhibit I (collectively, the "specified
servicing standards") as set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of
America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers ("USAP") as
of and for the year ended September 30, 1999 included in the accompanying
management assertion. Management is responsible for the Company's compliance
with the specified servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion based on management's assertion about the entity's compliance on our
examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the
specified servicing standards 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 the minimum servicing
standards.
In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the
aforementioned specified servicing standards as of and for the year ended
September 30, 1999 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
