Four loans have defeased (2.1%) since the last Fitch rating action. Since issuance, 19 loans (22.9%) have defeased, including the three largest loans (12.4%) in the pool. As of the October 2006 distribution date, the transaction has paid down 19.3% to $818.7 million from $1.01 billion at issuance. Currently, six assets (2.6%) are in special servicing and all are real estate owned Real Estate Owned Property owned by a lender - usually a bank - after an unsuccessful sale at a foreclosure auction. This is common because most of the properties up for sale at these auctions are worth less than the total amount owed to the bank: the minimum bid in most (REO reo Noun NZ a language [Maori] ). Fitch anticipates losses on all six assets. The largest specially serviced asset (1.0%) is a multifamily property in Greece, NY that became REO in June 2006. The special servicer will list this asset for sale in fourth quarter 2006. The second largest specially serviced asset (1.2%) is a multifamily property in Irving, TX that became REO in September 2004. The asset sustained hurricane damage and is currently 89% vacant. The special servicer is developing an asset disposition strategy for this property. The next largest specially serviced asset (0.4%) is a hotel in La Porte, IN that became REO in September 2005. The special servicer is currently reviewing the business plan for the hotel. Fitch has designated 15 loans (9.6%) as Fitch Loans of Concern in the pool. These include the specially serviced loans and loans with low DSCR DSCR See: Debt-service coverage ratio and occupancies. The largest Fitch Loan of Concern (2.7%) is a retail shopping center in Wallkill, NY and is current. The performance decline is due to a slight drop in effective gross income (EGI EGI Effective Gross Income EGI Ethical Globalization Initiative EGI Electrical Geodesics Inc.
