**Exhibit 34.1**

 

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of

Ford Motor Credit Company LLC:

 

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Report on Assessment of Compliance with SEC Regulation AB Servicing Criteria, that Ford Motor Credit Company LLC (the “Company”) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB for the asset-backed securities transactions involving automotive dealer floorplan finance receivables completed on or after January 1, 2006 and registered with the Securities Exchange Commission for which the Company acted as servicer (the “Platform”), as of December 31, 2011 and for the year then ended, excluding criteria , 1122(d)(1)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(2)(v), 1122(d)(2)(vi), 1122(d)(3)(i)(D), 1122(d)(3)(iii), 1122(d)(4)(x) through 1122(d)(4)(xiii), and 1122(d)(4)(xv) which the Company has determined are not applicable to the servicing activities performed by it with respect to the Platform.  As described in management’s assertion, for servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(ii), the Company has engaged vendors to perform the activities required by these servicing criteria.  The Company has determined that these vendors are not considered “servicers” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor as permitted by Interpretation 17.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations (“Interpretation 17.06”).  As permitted by Interpretation 17.06, the Company has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendors’ activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to each vendor.  The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendors and related criteria as described in its assertion, and we performed no procedures with respect to the Company’s determination of its eligibility to use Interpretation 17.06.  Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion based on our examination.

 

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the applicable servicing criteria and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  Our examination included testing of selected asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, testing of selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the applicable

servicing criteria.  Our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report.  Our procedures were not designed to detect noncompliance arising from errors that may have occurred prior to or subsequent to our tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report.  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 servicing criteria.

 

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 for the asset-backed securities transactions involving automotive dealer floorplan finance receivables completed on or after January 1, 2006 and registered with the Securities Exchange Commission for which the Company acted as servicer is fairly stated, in all material respects.
