| Exhibit 99.1 Ernst & Young Ernst & Young LLP 1300 Huntington Building 925 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44115 Phone: (216) 861-5000 www.ey.com Report on Management's Assertion on Compliance with the Specified 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 titled Report of Management, that National City Mortgage Co. (NCM) complied with the minimum servicing standards identified in Exhibit A to the Report of Management (the specific minimum servicing standards) as set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's *Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers*(USAP) during the year-ended December 31, 2004. Management is responsible for NCM's compliance with the specified minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertions about NCM'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 NCM's compliance with the specified 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 NCM's compliance with specified minimum servicing standards. In our opinion, management's assertion that NCM complied with the aforementioned specified minimum servicing standards during the year ended December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects. ***Ernst & Young LLP***March 11, 2005 A Member Practice of Ernst & Young Global |
