DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) has today assigned provisional ratings to the following classes of notes issued by BCC Funding XIII LLC (the Issuer):

-- $65,000,000, Series 2016-1, Class A-1 Notes rated R-1 (high) (sf)
-- $135,537,000, Series 2016-1, Class A-2 Notes rated AAA (sf)

-- $7,101,000, Series 2016-1, Class E Notes rated BB (sf)
-- $5,786,000, Series 2016-1, Class F Notes rated B (sf)

Provisional ratings are based on DBRS’s review of the following analytical considerations:

-- Form and sufficiency of available credit enhancement and its ability to withstand the expected losses under various stressed cash flow modeling scenarios.
-- The presence of a replenishable (subject to availability of funds) and non-declining amount on deposit in the Reserve Account.
-- The expected asset pool does not contain any significant concentrations of obligors, vendors or geographies and consists of a diversified mix of the industries similar to those included in other small-ticket lease and loan securitizations rated by DBRS.
-- While the structure allows for approximately three-month Prefunding Period, during which the acquisition by the Issuer of new contracts into the asset pool will be permitted, the proposed concentration limits will mitigate the risk of material migration in the asset pool's composition or risk profile.
-- Balboa Capital Corporation’s management team is experienced and has a long track record of origination and servicing in the small-ticket equipment space.
-- The presence of Portfolio Financing Services Company, an experienced servicer of equipment lease backed securitizations, as the back-up servicer for this transaction.
