INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Partners of Litton Loan Servicing LP

We have examined management's assertion about Litton Loan Servicing LP's (the
"Company") compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in the
Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers as of and for the year ended December 31,2003, included in the
accompanying management assertion. 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 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 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 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, 2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
