Item 1119 of Regulation AB.    Affiliations and Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

The Sponsor is the originator, as contemplated by Item 1110 of Regulation AB, of all of the pool assets owned by the Trust. The Sponsor is also the primary servicer. The Depositor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sponsor and, therefore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the originator and the primary servicer. Through its purchase of the Certificates, the Depositor has acquired a 100% ownership interest in the Trust; therefore, the Trust is an affiliated party of the Depositor and, indirectly, of the Sponsor (including in its role as originator and primary servicer).

The Indenture Trustee is not affiliated with any of the Sponsor (including in its role as originator and primary servicer), the Depositor or the Trust. FDI, as a special servicer is likewise not affiliated with any of the Sponsor (including in its role as originator and primary servicer), the Depositor or the Trust.

There are no significant obligors, external enhancement or support providers, or other material parties related to the Notes or Certificates.

In addition, there are no business relationships, agreements, arrangements, transactions or understandings outside the ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated party, apart from the transaction involving the issuance of the Notes and Certificates by the Trust, between the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Trust and any of the parties mentioned in this Item.

Since February 2002, the Sponsor has contracted with FDI’s parent, triVIN, Inc., for FDI to provide certain software-based services to the Sponsor in connection with the titling and registering of vehicles through online services made available by the motor vehicle administrations in various states. This contract was most recently updated in February 2006 to include, among other things, a new fee schedule. The vehicles for which FDI performs these services correspond to approximately 100% of the receivables contained in the asset pool held by the Trust. For these services, FDI charges and the Sponsor pays between $0.89 and $7.50 per titling transaction, per vehicle, depending on the service provided by FDI.

In addition, FDI charges and the Sponsor pays approximately $155 per hour of customized programming provided by FDI.

Item 1122 of Regulation AB.    Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.

The Sponsor (in its role as servicer), the Indenture Trustee and FDI (collectively, the ‘‘Servicing Parties’’) have each been identified by the registrant as parties participating in the servicing function with respect to the asset pool held by the Trust. Each of the Servicing Parties has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to it (each, a ‘‘Servicing Report’’), which Servicing Reports are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. In addition, each of the Servicing Parties has provided an attestation report (each, an ‘‘Attestation Report’’) by one or more registered public accounting firms, which reports are also attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. Neither of the Servicing Reports prepared by the Indenture Trustee or FDI, or the Attestation Report provided by the Indenture Trustee, has identified any material instance of noncompliance wit h the servicing criteria applicable to the respective Servicing Party.

3




The Servicing Report prepared by the Sponsor and the related Attestation Report have identified two material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Sponsor.

1.  1122(d)(4)(vi) – The Sponsor did not review and approve changes to the terms or status of an obligor’s pool asset, in particular, term extensions of receivables, as required by the respective transaction agreements and related pool asset documents.
2.  1122(d)(4)(xiv) – The Sponsor did not recognize and record charge-offs as required by the respective transaction agreements and related pool asset documents.

The following actions were taken in order to remediate these material instances of noncompliance:

With respect to Section 1122(d)(4)(vi), computer system changes were enacted which applies systemic controls designed to prevent unauthorized extensions of receivables. AHFC believes that the systemic controls are effective starting October 1, 2006.

With respect to Section 11122 (d)(4)(xiv) computer system changes where enacted which applies systemic controls to recognize and record charge-offs in a timely fashion. AHFC believes that the systemic controls are effective starting October 1, 2006.

Except for these two material instances of noncompliance, neither the Servicing Report prepared by the Sponsor nor the related Attestation Report has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the Sponsor.

Item 1123 of Regulation AB.    Servicer Compliance Statement.

The Sponsor (in its role as servicer) and FDI have been identified by the registrant as servicers with respect to the asset pool held by the Trust. Each of the Sponsor and FDI has completed a statement of compliance with applicable servicing criteria (each a ‘‘Compliance Statement’’), in each case signed by an authorized officer of the Sponsor and FDI, respectively. The Compliance Statements are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K.

EX-34.1 8 file8.htm ATTESTATION REPORT

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors
American Honda Finance Corporation:

We have examined American Honda Finance Corporation’s (the Company) compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB for all asset-backed securities transactions for which the Company acted as servicer and administrator involving retail automobile receivables for new and used Honda and Acura vehicles since January 1, 2006 (the Platform), except for servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(iii), 1122(d)(1)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii), 1122(d)(4)(xiii), and 1122(d)(4)(xv), which the Company has determined are not applicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007. Appendix A to the Management’s Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria identifies the individual asset-backed transactions and securities defined by management as con stituting the Platform. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with those servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the 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 servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing of less than all of the individual asset-backed securities transactions that comprise the Platform, testing of less than all of the servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria. Furthermore, 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 determine whether errors may have occurred either p rior 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 for the selected transactions or any other transactions. 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.

Our examination disclosed the following instances of material noncompliance with certain servicing criteria applicable to the Company during the year ended March 31, 2007:

1.  1122(d)(4)(vi) – The Company did not review and approve changes to the terms or status of an obligor’s pool asset, in particular, term extensions of receivables, as required by the respective transaction agreements and related pool asset documents.
2.  1122(d)(4)(xiv) – The Company did not recognize and record charge-offs as required by the respective transaction agreements and related pool asset documents.

As described in the Management’s Assessment of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, for servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(iv), the Company has engaged a vendor to perform the activities required by this servicing criteria. The Company has determined that this vendor is not considered a ‘‘servicer’’ 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 this 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 vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to the vendor. The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendor and related criterion as described in its assertion, and we performed no procedures with respect to the Company’s eligibility to apply Interpretation 17.06.




In our opinion, except for the instances of material noncompliance described in the third paragraph, American Honda Finance Corporation complied, in all material respects, with the aforementioned servicing criteria, including servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(iv) for which compliance is determined based on Interpretation 17.06 as described above, is fairly stated as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Report on Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria Pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that FDI Collateral Management (the ‘‘Company’’), a wholly owned subsidiary of Trivin, Inc., complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB for the title servicing platform as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007, except for 1122(d)(1)(ii)-(iv), 1122(d)(2)(i)-(vii)(D), 1122(d)(3)(i)-(iv), and 1122(d)(4)(iii)-(xv), which the Company has determined are not applicable to the activities performed by them with respect to the servicing platform covered by this report. See Management’s Assertion for the asset backed transactions covered by this platform. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with those servicing cr iteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the Institute of Certified Public Accounts as adopted by 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 less than all of the individual asset backed transactions and securities that comprise the platform, testing of less than all of the servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria. Furthermore, our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report. Our procedu res were not designed to determine whether errors may have occurred either 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 for the selected transactions or any other transactions. 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 servicing criteria as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007 for the title servicing platform is fairly stated, in all material respects.

EX-34.3 10 file10.htm ATTESTATION REPORT ON ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Exhibit 34.3

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors
The Trust & Securities Services department of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas:

We have examined the accompanying management’s assertion that the Trust & Securities Services department of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (collectively the ‘‘Company’’) complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB for the Honda Auto Receivables 2006-2 Owner Trust asset-backed securities transaction (the Platform), except for servicing criteria 1122(d)(1)(i), 1122(d)(1)(ii), 1122(d)(1)(iii), 1122(d)(1)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(i), 1122(d)(2)(iii), 1122(d)(2)(iv), 1122(d)(2)(v), 1122(d)(2)(vi), 1122(d)(2)(vii), 1122(d)(3)(i), 1122(d)(4)(i), 1122(d)(4)(ii), 1122(d)(4)(iii), 1122(d)(4)(iv), 1122(d)(4)(v), 1122(d)(4)(vi), 1122(d)(4)(vii), 1122(d)(4)(viii), 1122(d)(4)(ix), 1122(d)(4)(x), 1122(d)(4)(xi), 1122(d)(4)(xii), 1122(d)(4)(xiii), 1122(d)(4)(xiv) and 1122(d)(4)(xv), which the Company has determined are not ap plicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform, as of March 31, 2007 and for the period August 22, 2006 through March 31, 2007. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with those servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the 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 servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing of less than all of the servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria. Furthermore, 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 determine whether errors may have occurred either 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 for the transaction specified above or any other transactions. 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 servicing criteria, as of March 31, 2007 and for the period August 22, 2006 through March 31, 2007 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

Exhibit 35.1

AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORPORATION
ANNUAL COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE
PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.11(a) OF THE SALE AND
SERVICING AGREEMENT AND
ITEM 1123 OF REGULATION AB

I, Paul Honda, do hereby certify that I am the Assistant Vice President, Assistant Secretary and Compliance Officer of American Honda Finance Corporation, a California corporation (the ‘‘Company’’), and further certify on behalf of the Company in its capacity as servicer (the ‘‘Servicer’’ and ‘‘Sponsor’’) under the Sale and Servicing Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’) dated as of August 1, 2006 among the Servicer and Sponsor, American Honda Receivables Corp., as Seller, and Honda Auto Receivables 2006-2 Owner Trust as follows:

(i)  A review of the activities of the Servicer during the reporting period ended March 31, 2007, and of its performance under the Agreement has been made under my supervision.
(ii)  To the best of my knowledge and information, based upon such review, the Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under the Agreement throughout such period in all material respects; except that, there were instances in which the Servicer was in material noncompliance with the Agreement due to its failure to follow customary standards, policies, and procedures in the following two respects: In some cases, receivables were extended without proper authorization and, in some cases, charge-offs were not recognized and recorded in a timely fashion as required. With respect to these instances of material noncompliance, computer system changes were enacted which apply systemic controls designed to prevent unauthorized extensions of receivables and to recogniz e and record charge-offs in a timely fashion. AHFC believes that the systemic controls are effective.
(iii)  To the best of my knowledge and information, no event of default nor any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an event of default under the Agreement, has occurred or is continuing.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 22nd day of June, 2007.
