Agreement") and registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-77026) (such mortgage pass-through certificates, the

Item 2. Properties.

     Information regarding the mortgaged properties related to the Certificates
is furnished by reference to the Annual Statement of Compliance attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

     There are no material pending legal proceedings with respect to the assets
of the Trust involving the registrant or, to the best knowledge of the
registrant, the Trustee, any Custodian, any Servicer or the assets of the Trust,
other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the Trustee's, any
Custodian's, any Servicer's or the registrant's duties under the Pooling
Agreement.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

In July, August and September 2003, the registrant solicited the consent of
Certificateholders to a proposed amendment to the Pooling Agreement. The
amendment proposed, among other things, to (i) reduce the amount of the fixed
servicing fee with respect to some mortgage loans serviced by Washington Mutual
Bank, FA to a level sufficient to maintain the ratings assigned to the
Certificates; (ii) identify the amount by which these fixed servicing fees were
reduced as the "Excess Yield Amount" for each affected mortgage loan; (iii)
identify Washington Mutual Bank, FA as the initial holder of the interest in
such Excess Yield Amounts; (iv) provide for the payment of the Excess Yield
Amounts to such holder; (v) recharacterize the right to receive the variable
servicing fee as an interest that may be held by a person without regard to
whether that person is acting as servicer; (vi) identify Washington Mutual Bank,
FA as the initial holder of the interest in the variable servicing fee; and
(vii) provide for the registration of transfer of such interest in the Excess
Yield Amounts and such interest in the variable servicing fee to one or more
subsequent holders.

Holders of Certificates evidencing an aggregate Percentage Interest (as defined
in the Pooling Agreement) of approximately 67.1% consented to the proposed
amendment. Holders of Certificates evidencing an aggregate Percentage Interest
of approximately 32.9% did not respond to the solicitation or otherwise withheld
their consent.
