C-BASS Pass-Thru Class Downgraded

Class B-2 of C-BASS mortgage pass-through certificates, series 2005-RP1, has been downgraded from BBB to BB by Fitch Ratings.Fitch also affirmed the ratings on nine other classes in the transaction. The downgrade was attributed to recent changes to Fitch's subprime loss forecasting assumptions that "better capture the deteriorating performance of pools from 2006 and late 2005 with regard to continued poor loan performance and home price weakness."
