Nine tranches from EquiFirst Loan Securitization Trust 2007-1 have been downgraded by Moody's Investors Service. Three of the downgraded tranches remain on review for possible further downgrade. The ratings were downgraded, in general, based on higher-than-expected rates of delinquency, foreclosure, and real estate owned in the underlying collateral relative to credit enhancement levels, Moody's said. The collateral consists primarily of first-lien subprime residential mortgage loans. Moody's can be found online at http://www.moodys.com.
