NEW YORK -- Fitch Ratings has affirmed LB Commercial Mortgage Trust's commercial mortgage pass-through certificates, series 1999-C2, as follows:

--$317.5 million class A-2 at 'AAA';

--Interest-only class X at 'AAA';

--$37.9 million class B at 'AAA';

--$37.9 million class C to 'AAA';

--$13.4 million class D to 'AAA';

--$23.4 million class E at 'AAA';

--$12.3 million class F at 'AAA'.

Fitch does not rate classes G through P. Class A-1 has paid in full.

The affirmations are the result of stable performance since Fitch's last rating action. As of the August 2008 distribution date, the pool's aggregate principal balance has decreased 43.9% to $500.8 million, from $892.4 million at issuance. 32 two loans (28.6%) have fully defeased, including four of the top-10 loans (7.8%).

While the transaction is heavily concentrated, with the largest loan collateralizing 25.5% of the pool, that loan continues to perform well. The loan is the $127.7 million A Note secured by the SunAmerica Center, an office property located in Century City, West Los Angeles

  • West Los Angeles (region), a popularly identified region of Los Angeles, incorporating the neighborhood above

The loan continues to demonstrate strong performance, with a servicer reported year-end (YE) 2007 debt service coverage ratio The debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), or debt service ratio, is the ratio of net operating income to debt payments on a piece of investment real estate.

). Losses are expected on the specially serviced assets, but are expected to be absorbed by the non-rated classes.

Fitch Loans of Concern total 9.2% of the outstanding collateral balance, and include the specially serviced assets, loans with DSCRs below 1.0x, loans with Fitch stressed LTVs of greater than 100%, and loans with other performance issues.
