                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation


     We have examined  management's  assertion  about Chase  Manhattan  Mortgage
Corporation's (the "Company") compliance with the minimum servicing standards as
set forth 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. The Company has  interpreted  USAP and  determined  that USAP
minimum  servicing  standards I.1, I.2, I.3, III.1,  III.5,  IV.1, and VII.1 are
applicable to master servicers and are included in the  accompanying  management
assettion (see Exhibit I). The Company has interpreted  USAP and determined that
USAP minimum  servicing  standards I.4, II.1, II.2, II.3,  II.4,  III.2,  III.3,
III.4,  III.6,  V.1,  V.2,  V.3,  V.4 and  VI.1  are not  applicable  to  master
servicers.  In cases where the Company does not service the loans underlying the
master servicing,  our procedures were limited to obtaining and reading the most
recently available USAP reports from the subservicers'  independent accountants.
In  this  regard,  we  obtained  reports  on  83%  of  the  subservicers.  These
subservicrs serviced loans comprising 93% of the unpaid principal balance of the
Company's Master Servicing portfolio as of December 31, 2002.

     Our opinion as expressed  herein,  as it relates to USAP minimum  servicing
standards for which subservicers are responsible for compliance, is based solely
upon the reports of the  subservicers'  independent  accountants.  Management is
responsible for the Company's  compliance with the remaining  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 attestion 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  Standards  and  performing  other  such  procedures  as we  considered
necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our examination and the reports
of the  other  accountants  provide 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,   based  on  our  examination  and  the  reports  of  the
subservicer's  independent accountants,  management's assertion that the Company
complied with the aforementioned  minimum servicing  standards as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

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 (see Exhibit 1). Management is responsible for
the  Company's   compliance  with  these  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   attestation   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  minimun  servicing  standards  and  performing  other such
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
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, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

     We have  examined  management's  assertion,  included  in the  accompanying
report titled Report of Management, that Fairbanks Capital Corp., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Fairbanks Capital Holding Corp., (the "Company") complied with the
minimum  servicing  standards set forth in the Mortgage  Bankers  Association of

compliance with those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on  management's   assertions  about  the  Company'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 the Company'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 the Company'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.

             MANAGEMENT'S ASSERTION CONCERNING COMPLIANCE WITH USAP
                          MINIMUM SERVICING STANDARDS

April 30, 2003

     As of and for the year ended December 31, 2002,  Chase  Manhattan  Mortgage
Corporation  (the  "Company"),  has complied in all material  respects  with the
minimum  servicing  standards set forth in the Mortgage  Bankers  Association of
America's Uniform Single Attestation  Program for Mortgage Bankers ("USAP") that
we have determined are applicable to master servicers.  We have interpreted USAP
and determined that minimum  servicing  standards I.1, I.2, I.3,  III.1,  III.5,
IV.1, and VII.1 as set forth in USAP are applicable to master servicres. We have
also  interpreted that USAP minimum  servicing  standards I.4, II.1, II.2, II.3,
II.4, III.2,  III.3,  III.4,  III.6, V.1, V.2, V.3, V.4 and VI.1 as set forth in
USAP  are not  applicable  to  master  servicers;  for  thse  minimum  servicing
standards  the  Company  relies  on the  performance  of its  subservicers.  The
assertion  relates  specifically to the Company's  Master  Servicing  Portfolio,
including  the  CitiBank/Citimae  portfolio  being  submaster  serviced  by  the
Company.

     It is the policy of the Company to obtain USAP reports from the independent
accountants of its subservicers. As of the date hereof, the Company has obtained
USAP reports for 83% of its  subservicers.  These  subservicers  serviced  loans
comprising 93% of the unpaid principal balance of the Company's Master Servicing
Portfolio as of December 31,  2002.  The Company  noted that a numer of the USAP
reports contained items of noncompliance. These items of noncompliance have been
included in Exhibit II hereto.

     As of and for this same period, the Company had in effect fidelity bond and
errors and ommissions  policy in the amounts of  $250,000,000  and  $25,000,000,
respectively.

                               December 31, 2002


     It is the policy of Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation (the "Company") to
obtain Uniform Single Attestation  Program for Mortgage Bankers ("USAP") reports
from the independent accountants of its subservicers.  As of April 30, 2003, the
Company  has  obtained  USAP  reports  for  83%  of  its   subservicers.   These
subservicers  serviced loans comprising 93% of the unpaid  principal  balance of
the Company's  Master  Servicing  Portfolio as of December 31, 2002. The Company
noted that a number of the USAP reports  contained items of  noncompliance.  The
following summarizes the items from these reports.

                               servicing  standards  required  that  these

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In  connection  with your  compliance  attestation  engagement  relating to
management's   assertion  about   Fairbanks   Capital  Corp.'s  (the  "Company")
compliance  with the minimum  servicing  standards  as set forth in the Mortgage
Banker's  Association  of  America's  Uniform  Single  Attestation  Program  for
Mortgage  Bankers  (USAP) during the year ended  December 31, 2002, we recognize
that obtaining  representations from us concerning the information  contained in
this letter is a  significant  procedure  in enabling  you to form an opinion on
whether our assertion about the Company's  compliance with the minimum servicing
standards as set forth in the USAP is fairly  stated in all  material  respects.
Accordingly,   we  make  the  following  representations  with  respect  to  our
compliance  with the  minimum  servicing  requirements  as set forth in the USAP
during  the year  ended  December  31,  2002,  which are true to the best of our
knowledge and belief.

     We  ackowledge  that,  as memebers of  management  of the  Company,  we are
responsible for complying with the minimum  servicing  standards as set forth in
the USAP. We are also  responsible for  establishing  and maintaining  effective
internal  control over  compliance  with these  standards.  We have performed an
evaluation  of the Company's  compliance  with the minimum  servicing  standards
referred to above as of December 31, 2002 and for the year then ended.  Based on
this evaluation,  the Company has complied with the minimum servicing  standards
set forth in the USAP, during the year ended December 31, 2002.

     There has been no known  noncompliance with the minimum servicing standards
for the year  from  December  31,  2002  through  the  date of your  attestation
examination report.

     As of and during the year ended  December  31,  2002,  the  Company  had in
effect a fidelity  bond in the  amount of  $38,000,000  and a  mortgage  bankers
errors and omissions policy insurance policy in the amount of $10,000,000.

     We have made available to you all documentation  related to compliance with
the minimum servicing standards.

     There have been no instances of fraud involving  managment or employees who
have  significant  roles in internal  control over  compliance  with the minimum
servicing  standards.  There have been no  instances  of fraud  involving  other
employees  that could  have a material  effect on  compliance  with the  minimum
servicing standards.

     There have been no  communications  (received by  management or our general
counsel) from any trustees,  insurers,  investors,  regulatory agencies,  rating
agencies,  outside  consultants,  or the Company's internal auditors  concerning
possible  noncompliance  with  the  minimum  servicing  standards  (or  possible
significant  noncompliance with servicing agreements) in the year ended December
31, 2002 and through the date of your attestation  examination  report except as
previously disclosed to you in our letter dated January 29, 2003.

     We have not been audited by any trustees or  investors in  connection  with
minimum  servicing  standards  or  servicing  agreements  during  the year ended
December 31, 2002 or through the date of your attestation examination report. As
a result,  we have not received any audit reports,  review  reports,  or similar
reports,  including  any  draft or final  reports,  from any such  companies  or
agencies  in the  year  ended  December  31,  2002 or  through  the date of your
attestation examination report.

     In the prior year, the trustees, insurers, investors,  regulatory agencies,
rating  agencies and other auditors have either not performed an audit or review
of our servicing or have  evaluated our  servicing as  satisfactory  without any
material adverse findings.

     We are subject to an annual  examination by MBIA;  however,  no examination
report has been  issued in 2002.  in  addition,  certain  rating  agencies  have
assigned a servicer  rating to the Company.  These reports have been shared with
you as they have become available.

     No events or  transactions  have  occurred  since  December 31, 2002 or are
pending that would have an effect on our compliance  with the minimum  servicing
standards at that date or for the year then ended.

     We  understand  that your  examination  was  conducted in  accordance  with
attestation  standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Acountants, and was, therefore, designed primarily for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether our  assertion is fairly  stated in all material  respects
based on criteria  established by the Mortgage Bankers Association and that your
procedures were limited to those that you considered necessary for that purpose.

Very truly yours,
