Nine classes from Lehman ABS Manufactured Housing Contract Trust series 2001-B have been downgraded by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and removed from CreditWatch with negative implications.The downgrades were as follows: classes A-1 through A-6, from AAA to AA-plus; class M-1, from AA-minus to A-minus; class M-2, BBB-plus to BB; and class B-1, from BB to CCC. The downgrades were prompted by worse-than-expected performance by the underlying pool of manufactured housing contracts and the resulting decline in credit support, the rating agency said.
