MOODY'S ABCP RATING ACTIONS FOR THE SEVEN-DAY PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 30, 2006

31 Jan 2006
MOODY'S ABCP RATING ACTIONS FOR THE SEVEN-DAY PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 30, 2006

New York, January 31, 2006 -- MOODY'S PUBLISHES 2005 REVIEW AND 2006 OUTLOOK FOR US ABCP MARKET AND JAPAN ABCP MARKET

Moody's Investors Service has published two 2005 review & 2006 outlook articles, one on the U.S. ABCP market, and the other on ABCP market in Japan.

The U.S. ABCP article is titled "2005 Review and 2006 Outlook: U.S. Asset-Backed Commercial Paper - Will 2006 Issuance Hit The $1 Trillion Milestone?" In the report, Moody's comments that the ABCP outstandings in the US rose to unprecedented levels in 2005, reaching $926 billion as of Dec. 31, 2005. While Moody's does not believe that growth in 2006 will be as robust as in 2005, it expects to see a 5%-10% increase in ABCP outstandings by the end of the year based on market consensus. This could bring total issuance into the $1 trillion range.

Moody's expects that the growth in 2006 for ABCP conduits will continue to come from the use of more innovative structures and new assets types such as repurchase agreements and CDOs. In addition, ABCP conduit sponsors will likely continue to focus on optimizing liquidity facilities in response to Basel II as it is implemented by each country's regulatory body.

Moody's has also published an article on the ABCP market in Japan, titled "2005 Review and 2006 Outlook: ABCP Market in Japan." As the article explains, the issuance volume of ABCP in the Japanese domestic market during 2005 remained almost the same as 2004. During 2005, a significant market event was the amendment of program documents that allows conduits to issue paperless ABCP. Paper-based systems for ABCP programs are now thoroughly extinct. In addition, ABCP programs that issue CP outside Japan have sought to purchase portfolios of monetary receivables originated by domestic originators.

In 2006, Moody's expects that emerging concerns about rising interest rates will motivate market participants to utilize ABCP programs for short-term financing tools. And, in response to Basel II, conduit sponsors are likely to consider an evaluation of their program's underlying portfolios and liquidity facility exposures.

For further details, please see Moody's press release dated January 26, 2006 for the U.S. ABCP market and January 24, 2006 for the Japanese ABCP market. The Special Reports are available on Moody's website, http://www.moodys.com.

THE RATINGS OF THE FOLLOWING ABCP PROGRAMS WERE AFFIRMED BY MOODY'S AT PRIME-1 DURING THE PERIOD JANUARY 24, 2006 THROUGH JANUARY 30, 2006:

MIZUHO CORPORATE BANK'S ADVANTAGE ACQUIRES $44.52 MILLION Aaa-RATED NOTE

Advantage Asset Securitization Corp. ("Advantage"), a partially supported, multiseller conduit sponsored by Mizuho Corporate Bank, Limited ("Mizuho", rated A1/Prime-1/D+), has acquired a $44.52 million interest in a Aaa-rated note backed by vehicles and vehicle lease payments. This transaction is fully supported by a liquidity facility provided by Mizuho.

With this transaction, Advantage has about $388.63 million in total purchase commitments.

ABN AMRO'S AMSTEL ADDS ABILITY TO ISSUE ECNS AND CALLABLE NOTES

Amstel Funding Corp. and Amstel Euro Funding Corp. (together, "Amstel"), a partially supported, credit arbitrage ABCP conduit sponsored by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (Aa3/Prime-1/B), has restructured its program to allow for the issuance of extendable notes and callable notes (together, "Funding Notes").

Amstel's Funding Notes will have expected maturity dates of up to 180 days and final maturity dates of up to 365 days. As with Amstel's sister conduit, Tulip Funding Corp./Tulip Euro Funding Corp., the Funding Notes will not be used as alternative liquidity. The liquidity facilities provided by Prime-1-rated ABN Amro will continue to cover 100% of principal and interest on all CP. On the expected maturity date for the Funding Notes and on each date during the extension period on which the related interest rate is set, the programme administrator will determine whether there is sufficient liquidity to cover the face amount of outstanding CP, including interest on Funding Notes up to the next interest payment date. If the administrator determines that there will be a shortfall, liquidity will be drawn immediately to repay outstanding Funding Notes.

Amstel is authorized to issue approximately EUR 28.2 billion of ABCP.

CALYON'S ATLANTIC AND LAFAYETTE INCREASE INTEREST IN EXISTING MORTGAGE LOAN TRANSACTION

Atlantic Asset Securitization LLC ("Atlantic") and La Fayette Asset Securitization LLC ("La Fayette'), two partially supported, multiseller ABCP programs sponsored by Calyon (Aa2/Prime-1/C), have increased their interest in an existing mortgage loan facility from $1 billion to $1.25 billion. The facility is structured as a direct purchase of first-lien residential mortgage loans under the terms of a repurchase agreement. The underlying loans are originated by various finance companies.

This transaction is partially supported through two liquidity facilities provided by Calyon and Lloyds TSB Bank plc (Aaa/Prime1/A). The liquidity facilities fund for maturing ABCP so long as the Prime-1-rated financial institution is not bankrupt.

Atlantic currently has about $7.6 billion in purchase commitments and $679 million in program-level credit enhancement. La Fayette has about $4.6 billion in purchase commitments and $324 million in program-level credit enhancement.

WESTLB'S COMPASS ADDS EURO 35 MILLION TRADE RECEIVABLE FACILITY

Compass Securitisation Limited and Compass Securitization LLC (together "Compass"), a partially supported, multiseller ABCP conduit sponsored and administered by WestLB AG (Aa2/Prime-1/D-), has added a EUR 35 million trade receivable facility to its portfolio. The receivables are originated by a German company that manufactures steel products. The underlying debtors are corporations in Germany.

The transaction benefits from an 8% programme-level credit enhancement. There is a first loss reserve in place after which the transaction is fully supported by commercial credit insurance provided by Atradius Credit Insurance NV (A2/Prime-1).

With this transaction, Compass is currently authorized to issue approximately up to EUR 9.6 billion in ABCP.

HUDSON CASTLE'S FENWAY ADDS $1.5 BILLION FACILITY AND INCREASES INTEREST IN EXISTING WAREHOUSE FACILITY

Fenway Funding LLC ("Fenway"), a fully supported multiseller conduit sponsored by Hudson Castle Group Inc. (unrated) and administered by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (A1/Prime-1/C), has added a $1.5 billion facility to its portfolio and increased its interest in an existing warehouse facility from $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion.

Fenway finances both transactions through the issuance of secured liquidity notes ("SLNs"), which have an expected maturity date of up to 270 days, and a legal final maturity date of 390 days. The maturity of the SLNs can be extended if insufficient funds are available to repay the SLNs on their expected maturity date.

The $1.5 billion facility is established to finance various highly rated securities and is fully supported by a Prime-1 rated financial institution. The financial institution guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest at the SLN's legal final maturity.

The $2.5 warehouse facility is fully supported by a different Prime-1 rated financial institution, and the form of liquidity support is through a total rate of return swap.

Fenway has no program-level credit enhancement and is authorized to issue up to $11 billion in SLNs.

CALYON'S LMA ADDS SPV NOTES BACKED BY AIRCRAFT LEASES TOTALING USD 175 MILLION

LMA S.A. ("LMA", also known as Liquidites de Marche) has added USD 175 million of SPV Notes backed by aircraft leases. LMA is a fully supported, multiseller ABCP program sponsored and administered by Calyon (Aa2/Prime-1/C). LMA uses the proceeds of its Billets de Tresorerie and Euro commercial paper ("Euro ABCP") to fund the purchase of FCC units, asset-backed securities and bonds issued by corporate entities.

The Prime-1 rating assigned to LMA's Billets de Tresorerie and Euro ABCP is based primarily on: (i) the full liquidity support provided by Prime-1-rated banks through transaction-specific purchase and sale agreements, which allows for timely repayment of maturing Billets de Tresorerie and Euro ABCP, (ii) the integrity of the conduit's structure, and (iii) the operational ability of Calyon as the program administrator. Currently, LMA's liquidity facility is provided by a syndicate of seven Prime-1-rated banks.

LMA is authorized to issue up to EUR 6.2 billion, USD 419.4 million and GBP 102 million of ABCP.

The first transaction is a $150 million Aaa-rated VFN backed by auto leases. The VFN is a part of a $1.5 billion co-purchased auto lease facility established for a U.S. auto lease company. The VFN benefits from a financial guarantee insurance policy provided by Ambac Assurance Corporation (rated Aaa). This transaction is fully supported by a liquidity facility that funds for the face amount of ABCP as long as Ambac is not bankrupt or does not default on its payment obligation. Due to the high credit quality of the VFN, Mont Blanc is not required to increase its program-level credit enhancement with the addition of this transaction.

The second transaction is a $150 million interest in another Aaa-rated VFN. The VFN is issued out of a revolving credit facility that finances film rights for an international media and entertainment company. This VFN benefits from a financial guarantee insurance policy provided by Aaa-rated MBIA Insurance Corp. The transaction is fully supported under a revolving asset purchase agreement provided by Prime-1-rated ING. The purchase agreement is sized at 102% of the commitments and funds for the face amount of ABCP as long as Mont Blanc is not bankrupt or MBIA does not default on its payment obligation.

With these transactions, Mont Blanc has about $7.3 billion in purchase commitments and $418 million in program-level credit enhancement.

DEUTSCHE BANK'S RHEINGOLD ADDS TWO TRANSACTIONS

The first transaction is a GBP 240 million CLO note purchase. The CLO note is a Aaa-rated super senior note, and is funded in Rheingold on a partially supported basis.
