E[acute accent]The affirmations are due to the stable pool performance and scheduled amortization. As of the January 2006 distribution date, the pool's aggregate certificate balance has decreased 4.4% to $805.4 million compared to $842.2 million at issuance. E[acute accent]There is currently one asset in special servicing. The asset (0.84% of the pool) is secured by a 182-unit garden style multi-family complex located in Conyers, GA. The asset has been real estate owned (REO) since Aug. 3, 2004. The non-rated class O is sufficient to absorb the Fitch expected loss on this loan. E[acute accent]The seven credit assessed loans (31.0% of the pool) remain investment grade. Fitch reviewed operating statement analysis reports and other performance information provided by the master servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells). The debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) for the loans are calculated based on a Fitch adjusted net cash flow (NCF) and a stressed debt service based on the current loan balances and a hypothetical mortgage constant. E[acute accent]One Seaport Plaza (7.7%) is secured by the fee interest in a 35-story, 1.1 million square feet (sf) office building located in the insurance subdistrict of downtown Manhattan, NY. The loan consists of a 33.7% ($62.0 million) pari passu interest in a $184.3 million whole loan. The Fitch stressed DSCR as of trailing 12 months (TTM) ending March 2005 was 1.47 times (x) compared to 1.48x at issuance. Occupancy as of March 2005 increased to 96.8% compared to 82.0% at issuance. E[acute accent]80 Park Plaza (7.6%) is secured by one 26-story and one 3-story office building totaling 955,924 sf located in Newark, NJ.

The Fitch stressed DSCR as of year to date (YTD) November 2005 was 1.44x compared to 1.53x at issuance. According to the master servicer, due to the recent deregulation ordinance preventing energy companies from billing themselves, there has been a significant increase in utilities expense as the utilities expense was brought to market levels. E[acute accent]Dulles Towne Crossing (5.9%) is secured by the fee interest in a 737,558 sf power retail center in Sterling, VA. Wal-Mart, Lowe's, and Sam's own their own buildings (418,047 sf) and are on ground leases through 2021 with numerous extension options.
