Feb 8 - Fitch Ratings Affirms 5 and Revises the Rating Outlook on 2 classes of GreatAmerica Leasing Receivables Funding L.L.C. Series 2011-1 (GALR 2011-1) as follows: --Class A-2 affirmed at 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable; --Class A-3 affirmed at 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable; --Class A-4 affirmed at 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable; --Class B affirmed at 'AAsf'; Outlook to Positive from Stable; --Class C affirmed at 'Asf'; Outlook to Positive from Stable. The affirmations of all outstanding classes represent credit enhancement levels consistent with the rating. As of January 2012 reporting period, cumulative net losses of 37 bps are below Fitch's base case expectations for the pool. The Positive Outlook for the Class C and D Notes reflect the possibility for positive rating actions in the next 12 to 18 months as losses are tracking inside of initial expectations and credit support is expected to continue to increase. Fitch will continue to closely monitor this transaction and may take additional rating actions in the event of changes in performance and credit enhancement measures. The review of GALR 2011-1 is consistent with Fitch's 'Criteria for Rating U.S. Equipment Lease and Loan ABS,' dated Jan. 11, 2012.
