All of the mortgage loans in the aforementioned transactions consist of fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgages extended to prime borrowers and are secured by first and second liens, primarily on one- to four-family and multifamily properties. As of the December 2005 distribution date, the transactions are seasoned from a range of 131 to 166 months and the pool factors (current mortgage loan principal outstanding as a percentage of the initial pool) range from approximately 1% to 6%.
The affirmations reflect a satisfactory relationship between credit enhancement (CE) and future loss expectations and affect approximately $9.1 million of outstanding certificates. All affirmed classes have experienced small to moderate growth in CE since the last rating action in December 2004.
The downgrade on series 1993-19, class B-4 affects $24,893 of total certificates. As of the December 2005 distribution, the pool has incurred losses of 0.13% of the initial pool balance. The class supporting the downgraded B4 class, the non rated B5 certificate, has only $26,951 left in outstanding certificates representing .43% of all outstanding certificates. At the same time, the mortgage pool is experiencing 90+ day delinquencies of 2.71%. Even at a loss severity rate 30%, losses projected with these delinquencies would exceed remaining protection for the B-4 bond.
Fitch will closely monitor these transactions. Further information regarding current delinquency, loss, and credit enhancement statistics is available on the Fitch Ratings web site at www.fitchratings.com.
