INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To Ameriquest Mortgage Company:
We have examined management's assertion about Ameriquest Mortgage Company's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers ("UASP") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002,
included in the accompanying management assertion. Management is responsible
for the Ameriquest Mortgage Company's compliance with those minimum servicing
standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's
assertion about the entity'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 Ameriquest Mortgage Company's
compliance with 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 provides legal determination on Ameriquest Mortgage Corporation
Company's compliance with the minimum servicing standards.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Ameriquest Mortgage Company
complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
