INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors of
Ocwen Federal Bank FSB

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying
Management Assertion on Compliance with USAP, that, except for the noncompliance
related to interest on escrows described in the third paragraph, Ocwen Federal
Bank FSB (the "Bank") complied with the minimum servicing standards identified
in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's ("MBA's") Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers ("USAP") as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2002. Management is responsible for the Bank's compliance with
those minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on management's assertion about the Bank'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 Bank's compliance
with the 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 Bank's compliance with the minimum servicing
standards.

Our examination disclosed noncompliance with minium servicing standards in
certain states related to interest on escrows applicable to the Bank during the
year ended December 31, 2002. Such noncompliance is described in the
accompanying Management Assertion on Compliance with USAP.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Bank complied with the
aforementioned minimum servicing standards, except for noncompliance as
described in the accompanying Management Assertion on Compliance with USAP, as
of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material
respects.

MANAGEMENT ASSERTION ON COMPLIANCE WITH USAP

March 14, 2003

As of and for the year ended December 31, 2002, except as specifically noted
below, Ocwen Federal Bank FSB (the "Bank") 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: Interest on escrow accounts shall be paid, or credited, to
mortgagors in accordance with the applicable state laws.

Interest on escrow accounts in certain states was not paid, or credited, to
mortgagors in accordance with the applicable state laws during the year ended
December 31, 2002. The Bank is currently implementing an enhancement to its
REALServicing TM servicing system to ensure that, for loans collateralized by
properties located in states that require the payment of interest on escrow
accounts, the payment or crediting of such interest is in accordance with
applicable state laws.

As of and for this same period, the Bank had in effect a fidelity bond in the
amount of $15,000,000, and errors and omissions policy in the amount of
$10,000,000.
