In addition, the ratings reflect the quality of the mortgage collateral, strength of the legal and financial structures, and CitiMortgage, Inc.'s (CMI) servicing capabilities (rated 'RPS1' by Fitch) as primary servicer.

As of the cut-off date, Nov. 1, 2005, the mortgage pool consists of 852 conventional, fully amortizing, 15-30 year fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on one- to four-family residential properties with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $480,050,373. The properties are located primarily in California (32.22%), New York (19.41%), and Florida (7.08%). The weighted average current loan to value ratio (CLTV) of the mortgage loans is 64.75%. Approximately 22.13% of the loans were originated under a reduced documentation program. Condo properties account for 6.22% of the total pool and co-ops account for 6.61%. Cash-out refinance loans and investor properties represent 30.90% and 0.06% of the pool, respectively. The average balance of the mortgage loans in the pool is approximately $563,439. The weighted average coupon of the loans is 5.828% and the weighted average remaining term is 329 months.

None of the mortgage loans are 'high cost' loans as defined under any local, state, or federal laws. For additional information on Fitch's rating criteria regarding predatory lending legislation, see the press release issued May 1, 2003 entitled 'Fitch Revises Rating Criteria in Wake of Predatory Lending Legislation,' available on the Fitch Ratings web site at www.fitchratings.com.

The mortgage loans were originated or acquired by CMI and in turn sold to CMSI. A special purpose corporation, CMSI, deposited the loans into the trust, which then issued the certificates. U.S. Bank N.A. will serve as trustee. For federal income tax purposes, an election will be made to treat the trust fund as one or more real estate mortgage investment conduits.

What are people saying about mortgages today:

Rates on 30-year mortgages edged down last week to a seven-month low. Mortgage-giant Freddie Mac reported Thursday that 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages fell to 6.3 percent, down slightly from 6.31 percent two weeks ago. It put rates at the lowest level since they were at 6.24 percent the first week of March.

Bank of Hawaii, Central Pacific Bank, Territorial Savings Bank and Wells Fargo Home Mortgages all cut their 30-year mortgage rates to 5.75 percent this week.

Most people think of a mortgage as a means to an end. After all, you buy a house, not a home loan. But a mortgage is much more than the path to homeownership. It is a financial instrument that must be managed, just like any other financial investment.
