RFC MBS Tranches Downgraded

Two tranches of RFC's RFSC series 2003-RP1 Trust have been downgraded by Moody's Investors Service.Class M-2 was downgraded from A2 to Baa1, and class M-3 was downgraded from Baa2 to B3. The downgrades were attributed to "high and rapidly rising levels of cumulative loss," a large proportion of severely delinquent loans, and "significant deterioration" of overcollateralization in recent months. The underlying collateral consists of subprime and re-performing residential mortgage loans. Moody's can be found online at http://www.moodys.com.
