Approximately $1.5 Million of Structured Securities Affected
New York, April 02, 2015 -- Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the ratings on two classes in Banc
of America Commercial Mortgage Inc. Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2001-1 as follows:
Cl. K, Affirmed C (sf); previously on May 1, 2014
Downgraded to C (sf)
Cl. X, Affirmed Caa3 (sf); previously on May 1,
2014 Affirmed Caa3 (sf)
RATINGS RATIONALE
The rating on the P&I class, K, was affirmed because the
ratings are consistent with Moody's expected loss. Class
K has experienced a 77% loss.
The rating on the IO class was affirmed based on the credit performance
(or the weighted average rating factor) of the referenced classes.
Moody's rating action reflects a base expected loss of 25.1%
of the current balance, compared to 69.8% at Moody's
last review. Moody's base expected loss plus realized losses is
now 6.5% of the original pooled balance, unchanged
since last review. Moody's provides a current list of base
expected losses for conduit and fusion CMBS transactions on moodys.com
at http://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PBS_SF215255.
FACTORS THAT WOULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATING:
The performance expectations for a given variable indicate Moody's forward-looking
view of the likely range of performance over the medium term. Performance
that falls outside the given range can indicate that the collateral's
credit quality is stronger or weaker than Moody's had previously expected.
Factors that could lead to an upgrade of the ratings include a significant
amount of loan paydowns or amortization, an increase in the pool's
share of defeasance or an improvement in pool performance.
Factors that could lead to a downgrade of the ratings include a decline
in the performance of the pool, loan concentration, an increase
in realized and expected losses from specially serviced and troubled loans
or interest shortfalls.
METHODOLOGY UNDERLYING THE RATING ACTION
The principal methodology used in this rating was "Moody's
Approach to Rating CMBS Large Loan/Single Borrower Transactions"
published in July 2000. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com
for a copy of this methodology.
DESCRIPTION OF MODELS USED
Moody's uses a variation of Herf to measure the diversity of loan
sizes, where a higher number represents greater diversity.
Loan concentration has an important bearing on potential rating volatility,
including the risk of multiple notch downgrades under adverse circumstances.
The credit neutral Herf score is 40. The pool has a Herf of 2,
the same as at Moody's last review.
When the Herf falls below 20, Moody's uses the excel-based
Large Loan Model and then reconciles and weights the results from the
conduit and large loan models in formulating a rating recommendation.
The large loan model derives credit enhancement levels based on an aggregation
of adjusted loan-level proceeds derived from Moody's loan-level
LTV ratios. Major adjustments to determining proceeds include leverage,
loan structure, property type and sponsorship. Moody's
also further adjusts these aggregated proceeds for any pooling benefits
associated with loan level diversity and other concentrations and correlations.
DEAL PERFORMANCE
As of the March 16, 2015 distribution date, the transaction's
aggregate certificate balance has decreased by 99.8% to
$1.5 million from $948.1 million at securitization.
The certificates are collateralized by two mortgage loans.
There are no loans on the master servicer's watchlist.
Forty-seven loans have been liquidated from the pool, resulting
in an aggregate realized loss of $61.2 million (for an average
loss severity of 27%). There are no loans in special servicing.
The largest loan is the Flinn Springs MHP Loan ($1.16 million
-- 78% of the pool), which is secured by a 50 pad mobile
home park located in Flinn Springs, California. The loan
transferred to special servicing in March 2011 due to maturity default
and the borrower declared bankruptcy soon thereafter. The special
servicer negotiated a term extension through February 2016. This
loan recently transferred out of special servicing. Moody's LTV
and stressed DSCR are 128% and 0.80X, respectively.
The second largest loan is the Downtown Mini Storage Loan ($333,012
-- 22% of the pool), which is secured by a
778 unit self storage facility located near downtown Los Angeles,
California. As of December 2013, the property was 87%
leased, compared to 95% the prior year. The loan has
is fully amortizing and matures in February 2016.
REGULATORY DISCLOSURES
For further specification of Moody's key rating assumptions and
sensitivity analysis, see the sections Methodology Assumptions and
Sensitivity to Assumptions of the disclosure form.
Moody's did not receive or take into account a third-party
assessment on the due diligence performed regarding the underlying assets
or financial instruments related to the monitoring of this transaction
in the past six months.
The analysis includes an assessment of collateral characteristics and
performance to determine the expected collateral loss or a range of expected
collateral losses or cash flows to the rated instruments. As a
second step, Moody's estimates expected collateral losses or cash
flows using a quantitative tool that takes into account credit enhancement,
loss allocation and other structural features, to derive the expected
loss for each rated instrument.
Moody's did not use any stress scenario simulations in its analysis.
For ratings issued on a program, series or category/class of debt,
this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation
to each rating of a subsequently issued bond or note of the same series

are derived exclusively from existing ratings in accordance with Moody's
rating practices. For ratings issued on a support provider,
this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation
to the rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular
rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the

to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive
rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt,
in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed

have affected the rating. For further information please see the
