KEY RATING DRIVERS
Fitch affirmed Huntington Technology Funding Trust 2014-A formerly known as Macquarie Equipment Funding Trust 2014-A. The affirmation of the notes reflects the credit enhancement (CE) levels available to each class which provides for net loss coverage levels commensurate with the ratings. The Positive Outlooks on classes B and C reflect the growing CE available to the notes which may warrant an upgrade in the next 12-18 months.

RATING SENSITIVITIES
Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults, or decreases in recovery rates, could produce loss levels higher initial expectation and could result in potential rating actions on the notes. In its initial review, Fitch evaluated the sensitivity of ratings assigned to unrated obligors in order to increased default levels. The transaction did show sensitivity to higher default rates, which Fitch stressed by assuming all unrated obligors carry a 'CCC' Issuer Default Rating. As a result of increased CE, the transaction currently shows minimal sensitivity to the same stress. However, a material increase in obligor concentrations may impact future sensitivities for this transaction. Initial Key Rating Drivers and Rating Sensitivities are further described in the new issue report published Aug. 13, 2014 available at www.fitchratings.com.
