Fitch does not rate the $5.4 million class O certificates, and class A-1 has paid in full.
The classes are affirmed due to stable Fitch-expected credit enhancement levels since Fitch's last rating action. In addition, paydown of $164.8 million (19.2%) since the last Fitch review has been offset by a small uptick in the concentration of Fitch Loans of Concern (to 11.8% from 9.4%) as well as refinance risk corresponding to a high concentration of upcoming maturities in 2008 (70.5%).
As of the August 2008 distribution date, the pool has paid down 67.4% to $280.6 million, from $859.4 million at issuance. Fifteen loans (29.2%) have defeased, including four of the top 10 loans (15.2%).
Forty-nine loans, representing approximately 70.5% of the pool, are scheduled to mature throughout the remainder of 2008. Of these loans, 14 (28.4%) have defeased. For the non-defeased loans scheduled to mature in 2008, the weighted average coupon is 7.12%, the weighted average servicer-reported debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) is 1.72 times (x), and the weighted average occupancy is 85.6%.
Fitch has identified 11 loans (11.8%) as Fitch Loans of Concern. These include loans with DSCRs below 1.0x, loans with Fitch stressed loan-to-value ratios of greater than 100%, and loans with other performance issues. Of the Fitch Loans of Concern, five (5.8%) are scheduled to mature in 2008. Currently, no loans are in special servicing.
