Housing Bond Programs Secured by Credit Enhanced Mortgages. This
action, which affects $103,720,000 of outstanding
debt, also removes the ratings from review for downgrade.
RATINGS RATIONALE
During the review, we determined that the affected bond programs
met certain criteria discussed within our methodology which allows them
to maintain the Aaa (sf) ratings.
Strengths
* High credit quality of credit enhanced mortgage
* No reliance on performance of underlying mortgage
* Strong asset-to-debt ratio
Challenges
* Performance relies on proper administration and adherence to mandatory
provisions of the trust indenture and financing agreement by all parties
* Little to no additional security is available from outside the trust
estate
WHAT COULD MAKE THE RATING GO UP
* Not applicable
WHAT COULD MAKE THE RATING GO DOWN
* Projected cash flow or asset-to-debt ratio insufficiencies
* Diminished or less-than-expected asset-to-debt
ratio
* Downgrade of the US government (Aaa negative) or other credit enhancement
provider, if applicable
The principal methodology used in this rating was US Stand-Alone
Housing Bond Programs Secured by Credit Enhanced Mortgages published in
December 2012. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com
