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
National City Mortgage Co.

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Report of
Management, that National City Mortgage Co. (NCM) complied with the minimum
servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) for the year
ended December 31, 2002. Management is responsible for NCM's compliance with
those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management's assertions about NCM'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 NCM'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 NCM's compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion, that NCM complied with the
aforementioned requirements for 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 audit
committee, management, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal National
Mortgage Association, Government National Mortgage Association and NCM's private
investors and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties.
