Goodwin Signature President Title EX-99.1 (logo) KPMG KPMG LLP Suite 2300 Three Wachovia Center 401 South Tryon Street Charlotte, NC 28202-1911 Independent Accountants' Report The Board of Directors HomEq Servicing Corporation We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management's Assertion, that HomEq Servicing Corporation (the Company) complied with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005. 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 and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the minimum servicing standards specified above 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 minimum servicing standards. In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects. /s/ KPMG LLP February 24, 2006 KPMG LLP, a U.S. limited liability partnership, is the U.S. member firm of KPMG International, a Swiss cooperative.
