EX-99.1 (a) Report on Management's Assertion on Compliance with the Specified Minimum Servicing Standards Set Forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors Fremont Investment & Loan
We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying report titled Report of Management, that Fremont Investment & Loan (the "Company") complied with the minimum servicing standards identified in Exhibit A (the "specified minimum servicing standards") to the Report of Management as set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) during the year ended December 31, 2005, except as noted below. Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with those specified minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Company's compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the specified minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company's compliance with the specified minimum servicing standards.
In our opinion, management's assertion that, except for noncompliance with the specified minimum servicing standard requiring that escrow funds held in trust for a mortgagor be returned to the mortgagor within thirty (30) days of payoff of the mortgage loan, the Company complied with the aforementioned specified minimum servicing standards during the year ended December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects.
As discussed in the accompanying management's assertion, the following noncompliance occurred at the Company during the year ended December 31, 2005. The specified minimum servicing standards require that escrow funds held in trust for a mortgagor be returned to the mortgagor within thirty (30) days of payoff of the mortgage loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company noted that escrow funds held in trust for five (5) mortgage loans were not returned to the mortgagor within thirty (30) days of the payoff of the mortgage loan. However, management concluded that the Company complied with the specified minimum servicing standards in all material respects.

We, as members of management of Fremont Investment & Loan (the Company), are responsible for complying with the minimum servicing standards identified in the attached Exhibit A (the "specified minimum servicing standards") as set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP). We are also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with these specified minimum servicing standards. We have performed an, evaluation of the Company's compliance with the specified minimum servicing standards as of December 31, 2005 and for the year then ended. Based on this evaluation, we assert that during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company complied, in all material respects, with the. specified minimum servicing standards, except as described below.
The specified minimum servicing standards require that escrow funds held in trust for a mortgagor be returned to the mortgagor within thirty (30) days of payoff of the mortgage loan. During the year ended December 31, 2005., the Company noted that escrow funds held in trust for five (5) mortgage loans were not returned to the mortgagor within thirty (30) days of the payoff of the mortgage loan. However, we concluded that the Company complied with the specified minimum servicing standards in all material respects.
As of December 31, 2005 and for the year then ended, the Company had in effect a fidelity bond in the amount of $30,000,000 and an errors and omissions policy in the amount of $10,000,000.

MANAGEMENT ASSERTION ON COMPLIANCE WITH USAP
February 27, 2006
As of and for the year ended December 31, 2005, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC ("OLS"), as successor to Ocwen Federal Bank FSB (the "Bank"), except as specifically noted below, has complied in all material respects with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's ("MBA's") Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers ("USAP")
* Standard: Reconciliations shall be prepared on a monthly basis for all custodial bank accounts and related bank clearing accounts. These reconciliations shall be mathematically accurate, be prepared within forty five (45) calendar days of the cutoff date; be reviewed and approved by someone other than the person who prepared the reconciliation; and document explanations for reconciling items. These reconciling items shall be resolved within ninety (90) calendar days of their original identification.
We have complied with all aspects of this standard with the exception of certain reconciling items which arose during the year ended December 31, 2005 were not cleared within 90 days of their original identification. All items identified were subsequently cleared within 6 months. As of December 31, 2005, there was exactly 1 reconciling item totaling $431.07 that had not cleared within 90 days of identification.
* Standard: Adjustments on ARM loans shall be computed based on the related mortgage note and any ARM rider.
Certain ARM loans serviced by OLS were transferred in with an incorrect look back date due to errors in prior servicer records. These certain loans had ARM adjustments shortly after servicing transfer, but prior to OLS receiving the related mortgage documents from the prior servicer. When OLS received the mortgage documents and these errors were identified, OLS did not adjust the principal and interest payment amount. OLS has subsequently made adjustments to their procedures when they identify an error in prior servicer data to analyze the affect on the customer's account and make the appropriate adjustment.

As of and for this same period, OLS had in effect a fidelity bond in the amount of $20,000,000 and an errors and omissions policy in the amount of $5,000,000.
