ITEM 5. Other Events
On May 15, 2002, Asset Backed Funding Corporation (the
"Corporation"), sold ABFC Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2002-SB1, Class
AI-1, Class AI-2, Class AI-3, Class AI-4, Class AII-1, Class A-IO, Class M-1,
Class M-2 and Class M-3 (the "Offered Certificates"), having an aggregate
original principal balance of $304,695,000.00. The Offered Certificates were
issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of April 1,
2002 (the "Agreement"), among the Corporation, as depositor, Litton Loan
Servicing LP ("Litton"), as servicer, and LaSalle Bank National Association
("LaSalle"), as trustee, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit hereto. ABFC
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2002-SB1, Class B, Class CE, Class P, Class R,
Class R-5 and Class R-6 (the "Private Certificates" and, together with the
Offered Certificates, the "Certificates"), were also issued pursuant to the
Agreement but were not publicly offered.
As of the date of initial issuance, the Offered Certificates
evidenced beneficial ownership interests in a trust (the "Trust"), consisting
primarily of conventional fixed-rate mortgage loans and adjustable rate mortgage
loans, secured by mortgages creating first or second liens on one- to
four-family properties and certain other property. The remaining undivided
interests in the Trust are evidenced by the Private Certificates.
Interest on the Offered Certificates will be distributed on each
Distribution Date (as defined in the Agreement). Monthly distributions in
reduction of the principal balance of the Offered Certificates will be allocated
to the Offered Certificates in accordance with the priorities set forth in the
Agreement.
An election will be made to treat certain assets of the Trust as one
or more real estate mortgage investment conduits for federal income tax purposes
(each, a "REMIC").
