The 'AAA' rating on the Group 1 senior certificates reflects the 5.25% total credit enhancement provided by the Group 1 subordinate bonds. The 'AAA' rating on the Group 2 senior certificates reflects the 4.75% enhancement provided by the Group 2 subordinate bonds.

Fitch believes that the amount of credit enhancement will be sufficient to cover credit losses, including limited bankruptcy, fraud and special hazard losses. In addition, the ratings reflect the quality of the mortgage collateral, the strength of the legal and financial structures, and the master servicing capabilities of Aurora Loan Services, Inc., which is rated 'RMS1-' by Fitch.

As of the cut-off date (Sept. 1, 2006), the mortgages have an aggregate principal balance of approximately $179,789,091. The Group 1 mortgage pool has a weighted average original loan-to-value ratio (OLTV) of 77.49%, a weighted average coupon (WAC) of 6.941%, and a weighted average remaining term to maturity (WAM) of 358.

Group 2 consists of 734 adjustable-rate, conventional, first lien residential mortgage loans, substantially all of which have original terms to stated maturity of 30 years. As of the cut-off date (Sept. 1, 2006), the mortgages have an aggregate principal balance of approximately $478,128,044.

The mortgage loans were originated by various originators or acquired by various originators or their correspondents in accordance with such originator's respective underwriting standards and guidelines. The largest percentages of originations (as a percentage of the cut-off date balance) are Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP (67.65%) and Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (28.25%).

SASCO, a special purpose corporation, deposited the loans in the trust, which issued the certificates. For federal income tax purposes, an election will be made to treat the trust fund as multiple real estate mortgage investment conduits (REMICs).
