NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Standard & Poor's CreditWire

Nov. 7, 2000--Standard & Poor's today assigned its preliminary ratings to Greenwich Capital Acceptance Inc.'s $173.0 million commercial mortgage pass-through certificates series 2000-ZC2 (see list).

The preliminary ratings are based on information as of Nov. 7, 2000. Subsequent information may result in the assignment of final ratings that differ from the preliminary ratings.

The preliminary ratings reflect:

-- The terms and structure of the overall security,

-- The strength of the sponsorship,

-- The credit support provided by ZC Specialty Insurance Co. and

Centre Reinsurance (U.S.) Ltd.,

-- The liquidity provided by the servicer, and -- The overall

economic performance of the properties securing the

first-mortgage lien.

Both insurers are rated double-'A' by Standard & Poor's. Based on the uninsured portion of note A only ($42.3 million), Standard & Poor's analysis determined that the properties generated a debt service coverage ratio of 2.10 times, based on a stressed refinance constant of 10.75%, and a loan-to-value ratio of 36.9%.
