Exhibit 99.2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors of Allstate Life Insurance Company We have examined management's assertion that Allstate Life Insurance Company (the "Company") has complied as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 with its established minimum servicing standards described in the accompanying Management's Assertion Concerning Compliance dated March 27, 2006. Such assertion was examined relating to those trusts included in the attached Appendix A. Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with those 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 conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with its minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary under the circumstances.
