                       Report of Independent Accountants

Board of Directors
Aurora Loan Services Inc.

We have examined  management's  assertion,  included in the accompanying  report
titled  Report of  Management, that Aurora Loan  Services  Inc. (the  "Company")
complied with the servicing  standards  identified in Exhibit A to the Report of
Management (the  "specified  minimum  servicing  standards") as set forth in the
Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers ("USAP") during the year ended November 30, 2004. Management is
responsible for the Company's  compliance with those specified 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  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 Company's  compliance  with the
specified 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 Company's  compliance  with the  specified  minimum
servicing standards.

In our  opinion,  management's  assertion  that the Company  complied  with the
aforementioned  specified  minimum  servicing  standards  during  the year ended
November 30, 2003, is fairly stated, in all material respects.
