Report on Management's Assertion on Compliance with Minimum Servicing Standards
Set Forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers

Report of Independent Accountants

Board of Directors
ABN AMRO North America, Inc.

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying report
titled Report of Management, that except for noncompliance with the minimum
servicing standard for escrow funds, ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc. (AAMG, a
wholly owned subsidiary of ABN AMRO North America, Inc.) complied with the
minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of
America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) during
the year ended December 31, 2002.  Management is responsible for AAMG's
compliance with those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on management's assertions about AAMG's compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was made in accordance with attestation standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly,
included examining, on a test basis, evidence about AAMG's compliance with
those requirements 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 AAMG's compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion, that except for noncompliance with the
minimum servicing standard for escrow funds, AAMG complied with the
aforementioned requirements during the year ended December 31, 2002, is fairly
stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the board of
directors, management, and AAMG's private investors and is not intended to be
and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

To Cendant Mortgage Corporation:

We have examined management's assertion about Cendant Mortgage Corporation's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers (USAP) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002
included in the accompanying management assertion.  Management is responsible
for Cendant Mortgage Corporation'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 Cendant Mortgage Corporation'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

with the minimum servicing standards.

In our opinion, management's assertion that Cendant Mortgage Corporation
complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
