Independent Accountants' Report - Attestation on Management's Assertion
About Compliance With the Servicing Requirements of the Deutsche Floorplan
Receivables Master Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and Series 1994-1
Supplement and Series 1996-1 Supplement
Deutsche Floorplan Receivables Master Trust
c/o The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee:
Deutsche Financial Services Corporation, as Servicer:
We have examined the accompanying assertion made by management on Deutsche
Financial Services Corporation's (DFSC) compliance, as servicer, with the
servicing requirements in Article III, Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and
3.9, and Article IV of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the Deutsche
Floorplan Receivables Master Trust dated as of December 1, 1993, amended and
restated as of March 1, 1994, amended as of January 24, 1996, and amended and
restated as of October 1, 1996 (the Agreement), and the applicable provisions
of the Series 1994-1 Supplement dated as of March 1, 1994 and Series 1996-1
Supplement dated as of October 1, 1996 (the Supplements), and among Deutsche
Floorplan Receivables, L.P., as seller; DFSC, as servicer; and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, as Trustee, for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Management is responsible for DFSC' compliance with the aforementioned
sections of the Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Supplements.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about
DFSC' compliance based upon 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 DFSC' compliance with the
aforementioned sections of the Agreement and the applicable provisions of the
Supplements, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe our examination provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on
DFSC'compliance with the specified sections of the Agreement and the applicable
provisions of the Supplements.
In our opinion, management's assertion that DFSC was in compliance with the
aforementioned sections of the Agreement and the applicable provisions of the
Supplements for the year ended December 31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all
material respects.
