Rating Action:

Moody's assigns provisional ratings to French RMBS Class A Bonds to be issued and affirms ratings to existing Class A Bonds issued by CIF ASSETS 2001-1, a compartment of the Fonds Commun de Titrisation CIF ASSETS.

EUR 21.9 Billion of debt securities affected

Paris, April 21, 2011 -- Moody's assigns provisional ratings to French RMBS Class A Bonds to be issued and affirms ratings to existing Class A Bonds issued by CIF ASSETS 2001-1, a compartment of the Fonds Commun de Titrisation CIF ASSETS.

Issuer: CIF ASSETS 2001-1

EUR 1,834,820,836.0 Class A to be issued Notes, Assigned (P)Aaa (sf)

EUR 17,223,087,338.6 Class A existing Notes, Affirmed Aaa (sf)

EUR 2,851,800,000.00 Class B Notes, Withdrawn (sf) previously on Oct 25, 2001 Affirmed at A2 (sf)

RATINGS RATIONALE

The ratings take into account the credit quality of the underlying mortgage loan pool, from which Moody's determined the MILAN Aaa Credit Enhancement and the portfolio expected loss, as well as the transaction structure and any legal considerations as assessed in Moody's cash flow analysis.

The expected portfolio loss of 2.1% and the MILAN Aaa required credit enhancement of 11.1% serve as input parameters for Moody's cash flow and tranching model, which is based on a probabilistic lognormal distribution as described in the report "The Lognormal Method Applied to ABS Analysis", published in September 2000. These figures which are relatively higher than those of the other French RMBS transactions reflect the relatively high loan-to value ratio, the growing proportion of buy to let (16.85%), unsecured loans benefiting from a guarantee (18.4%) or not (EDF-GDF loans, 0.76%), and loans to non-resident borrowers (2.4%). The increased expected loss reflects the growth of Moody's cumulative defaults assumption (from 4.7% to 6%) which is mainly driven by the deteriorated performance experienced during 2009 by the entire book and the trend towards higher default level of the most recent vintages.

The principal methodologies used in this rating were The Lognormal Method Applied to ABS Analysis published in September 2000, Moody's Approach to Rating French RMBS published in October 2005 and Cash Flow Analysis in EMEA RMBS: Testing Structural Features with the MARCO Model published in January 2006.

The ratings address the expected loss posed to investors by the legal final maturity. In Moody's opinion the structure allows for timely payment of interest on class A and ultimate payment of principal at par on or before the rated final legal maturity date. Moody's ratings address only the credit risks associated with the transaction. Other non-credit risks have not been addressed, but may have a significant effect on yield to investors.

The rating on Class B is withdrawn for business reasons:

Moody's Investors Service has withdrawn the credit rating for its own business reasons. Please refer to Moody's Investors Service Withdrawal Policy, which can be found on our website, www.moodys.com.

The portfolio consists of French prime residential home loans backed by first economic lien mortgages or equivalent third-party eligible guarantees.

This rating action relates to the tap issuance of EUR 2,073 Million of new Units that are fungible with existing ones. The total outstanding debt issued by CIF ASSETS 2001-1 will amount to EUR 22,148 million. The portfolio is serviced by 12 current regional lenders of the CIF group. The transaction is arranged, originated and serviced by the CIF group which also provides the swap through the Caisse Centrale du Credit Immobilier de France (3CIF) entity. The swap mitigates the interest rate risk relating to the fixed rate loans which represent 38.65% of the pool and to the basis risk related to the floating rate loans that represent 54.7% and guarantees a 1.6% margin. The transaction is not revolving. The structure benefits from a non-amortising cash reserve, that will be fully funded at closing to 3.95% of the outstanding balance of the notes, a principal to pay interest mechanism and accelerated amortisation trigger.

The V Score for this transaction is Low/Medium, which is in line with the V score assigned for the French RMBS sector. The key driver for this score is the fact that it is a standard French RMBS structure for which we have over 10 years of historical performance data. The primary source of uncertainty surrounding our assumptions is the current macroeconomic environment, in which property values might be falling and unemployment might continue to rise. The V-Score has been assigned accordingly to the report "V-Scores and Parameter Sensitivities in the Major EMEA RMBS Sectors" published in April 2009. V Scores are a relative assessment of the quality of available credit information and of the degree of dependence on various assumptions used in determining the rating. High variability in key assumptions could expose a rating to more likelihood of rating changes.

If the portfolio expected loss was increased to 6.3%, the model output indicates that Class A would still achieve Aaa assuming that MILAN Aaa Credit Enhancement increases up to 13.3% and all other factors remain equal. If the MILAN Aaa Credit Enhancement would be stressed by 1.4 times to 15.6%, the model output for the class A notes would be Aa1, assuming an expected loss of 2.1%. If the MILAN Aaa Credit Enhancement would be stressed by 1.6 times to 17.8%, the model output for the class A notes would be Aa1 using expected loss range from 2.1% to 6.3%.

Moody's Parameter Sensitivities provide a quantitative/model-indicated calculation of the number of rating notches that a Moody's structured finance security may vary if certain input parameters used in the initial rating process differed. The analysis assumes that the deal has not aged and is not intended to measure how the rating of the security might migrate over time, but rather how the initial rating of the security might have differed if key rating input parameters were varied. Parameter Sensitivities for the typical EMEA RMBS transaction are calculated by stressing key variable inputs in Moody's primary rating model.

Moody's Investors Service did not receive or take into account a third party due diligence report on the underlying assets or financial instruments in this transaction.
