The downgrades reflect expected losses from the specially serviced loans and an increase in Fitch Loans of Concern. As of the May 2008 distribution date, the pool's aggregate certificate balance has decreased 16.2% to $632.4 million from $754.9 million at issuance. Twenty-four loans (25.4%) have fully defeased as of May 2008.

Currently, Fitch has identified 17 Loans of Concern (26.1%), including three specially serviced assets (5.6%). Five additional loans (8.2%) have been identified as Loans of Concern since Fitch's last rating action.

The largest specially serviced asset (2.9%) is a 178,591 square foot (sf) office complex located in South Brunswick, NJ. The asset transferred to special servicing in May 2008 due to monetary default and is 64% occupied after the loss of a major tenant.

The second largest specially serviced asset (2.4%) is a 150,581 sf office property in Horsham, PA. This asset transferred to special servicing in May 2008 due to monetary default after the loss of a major tenant in 2007.

The third specially serviced asset (0.3%) is a real estate-owned (REO) retail property in Morrow, GA. The asset was transferred to special servicing after the largest tenant defaulted on their lease. The property currently is 16% occupied and is currently being marketed for sale.

The largest Fitch Loan of Concern, and the largest loan in the pool (4.8%), is secured by an office portfolio collateralized by four properties located in various cities in central and southern Pennsylvania. The portfolio has experienced a decline in occupancy since 2004 and the borrower is marketing the vacant space. The reported consolidated occupancy was 75% as of April 2008.

The second largest Fitch Loan of Concern, and the second largest loan in the pool (4.7%), is secured by a 282,850 sf office property in Earth City, MO. Vacant space was recently leased, with reported physical occupancy of 87% as of April 2008.
