   The rating actions taken today reflect Fitch's analysis of
expected default and loss from delinquent loans, in addition to
projected losses from the currently performing pool. Fitch generates
its expectations using its ResiLogic default and loss model. These
expectations are adjusted based on actual performance to-date versus
model projected performance. The model incorporates the impact of
historical home price movements on mortgage performance, in addition
to projecting further stress for many regions of the U.S. The model
also reflects the demonstrated high default rates for loans that
exhibit risk-layering.

   Fitch is nearing completion of its review of the 2005-2007 Alt-A
transactions. This review was completed in two separate phases. The
first phase reviewed all mezzanine and subordinated bonds. The second
phase, which is nearly completed, reviewed the senior bonds that, in
many instances, required additional cash flow analysis to evaluate the
risk of the various individual classes within the senior tranche. Most
notably, the use of super-senior structures was considered in
evaluating senior bonds.
