MELBOURNE (Standard & Poor's) July 12, 2012--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today raised its ratings on the class B and C notes issued by Liberty Series 2010-1 Auto. At the same time, we affirmed our 'BB (sf)' rating on the transaction's class D notes (see list).

The notes are backed by a portfolio of loans secured by passenger cars and light commercial vehicles originated by Liberty Financial Pty. Ltd. The underlying assets of the trust have performed well during the life of the transaction, with low levels of arrears and a build up of credit support to the notes. As of May 31, 2012, the transaction's cumulative gross losses are approximately 3.97% of the original portfolio balance. Net losses to date have been covered by excess spread with no charge offs to notes. About 76% of the portfolio balance has paid down. The ratings reflect our view that the rated notes are able to withstand stresses that are commensurate with their rating levels.
