 loans secured by first and second liens on one- to four-family residential properties. At origination, approximately 13.68% of the loans may be subject to special rules, disclosure requirements and other provisions that were added to the federal Truth-in-Lending Act by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA HOEPA Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act ) of 1994.

The affirmations reflect adequate relationships of credit enhancement (CE) to future loss expectations and affect approximately $72.6 million of outstanding certificates. The downgraded classes reflect the deterioration in the relationship of CE to future loss expectations and affect approximately $43.2 million of outstanding certificates.

For the past year, the overcollateralization (OC) has been below the target amount due to losses exceeding excess spread. The decline of the OC has put negative pressure on the most subordinate bonds. As of the July 2007 remittance period, the 60+ delinquency (inclusive of foreclosures and REO reo
