The mortgage pool consists of fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage loans (ARMs) secured by first liens on one- to four-family residential properties. Loan Group I consists of fixed rate mortgages with an aggregate principal balance of $193,855,373. Loan Group II consists of hybrid ARMs, with an aggregate principal balance of 163,850,981. The class I certificates will be entitled to receive distributions solely with respect to Group I mortgage loans. The class II certificates will be entitled to receive distributions solely with respect to Group II mortgage loans. As of the cut-off date, Aug 1, 2006, the mortgage loans had a weighted average loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 78.1%% and 75.64%, weighted average coupon (WAC) of 6.7% and 6.31%, and an average principal balance of $143,916 and $263,003, for loan group I and group II, respectively. Single-family properties account for 79.34% of the mortgage pool for group I and 60.13% for group II. The two largest state concentrations are California (15.21% and 32.28%), and Florida (11.68% and 12.02%) for the two loan groups.
None of the mortgage loans are 'high cost' loans as defined under any local, state or federal laws.
