Today's rating action also concludes the rating review of four other italian RMBS notes, initiated following the release of the methodology update ""Moody's Approach to Set-Off Risk in Italian Structured Finance and Covered Bonds Transactions",11 June 2012. (http://www.moodys.com/viewresearchdoc.aspx?docid=PBS_SF285617). Moody's has taken no rating action on the Berica 6's class D notes, Asti Finance S.r.l.'s class B notes, Cassa Centrale Securitisation S.r.l.'s class B notes and VELA HOME S.r.l. - Series 3's class C notes because of sufficient credit enhancement.

All five notes remain on review for downgrade pending the re-assessment of required credit enhancement to address country risk exposure. In addition, the class B notes in Berica 6 Residential MBS S.r.l. and Cassa Centrale Securitisation S.r.l. remain on review because of strong linkage to weak counterparties acting as issuer account banks.

A detailed list of the affected ratings is provided towards the end of this press release.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Today's downgrade of the class B notes of Berica 6 Residential MBS S.r.l. reflects the insufficient levels of credit enhancement following Moody's revised analysis of the notes' set-off exposure using the updated methodology as well as the revised the key collateral assumptions. Moody's has taken no rating action on the class D notes due to sufficient credit enhancement which compensated for the changes in the methodology and assumptions.

Since the review date, Moody's has not received updated loan-by-loan information on the set-off exposure in the Berica 6 pool. As such, the set-off exposure Moody's has assumed in its analysis (1) is in line with previous set-off exposures observed in loan-by-loan data received from various Italian originators in the past; and (2) reflects the methodology update "Moody's Approach to Set-Off Risk in Italian Structured Finance and Covered Bonds Transactions",11 June 2012.

In addition, Moody's has increased its key collateral assumptions as a result of pool performance deterioration. As of October 2012, cumulative defaults in Berica 6, as a percentage of the original portfolio balance, amounted to 7.5% and loans delinquent by more than 90 days remained around 3.8% of the current portfolio balance. After considering the current amount of realised defaults and completing a roll-rate and severity analysis for the non-defaulted portion of the portfolio, Moody's has changed its lifetime default assumption for Berica 6 to 11.1% from 8.6% and revised the recovery rate assumption to 55% from 65%. The expected loss assumption for the portfolio has consequently increased to 6.1% from 4.7% of the original portfolio balance.

The rating agency also revised Berica 6's MILAN CE assumptions to 15% from 11.5% to take into account the updated EL assumption and the minimum credit enhancement.

-- RATING REVIEW REFOCUSES ON CREDIT ENHANCEMENT TO ADDRESS COUNTRY RISK EXPOSURE

All five notes remain on review for downgrade pending the incorporation of country risk exposure across the capital structure. Moody's continues to consider the impact of the deterioration of the Italian sovereign's financial condition and the resulting asset portfolio deterioration on tranches of structured finance transactions.

In addition, the class B notes issued by Berica 6 and Cassa Centrale Securitisation remain on review for downgrade also because of their strong linkage to the issuer account banks. The issuer account bank of Berica 6 and Cassa Centrale Securitisation is Deutsche Bank SpA a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG (A2/P-1 stable).

-- OTHER DEVELOPMENTS MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE NOTES FUTURE

On 2 July 2012, Moody's released a Request for Comment seeking market feedback on proposed adjustment to its modelling assumptions. These adjustments are designed to account for the temporary use of cash in structured finance transactions. If the adjusted approach is implemented as proposed, the rating of the class B notes in Berica 6 and Cassa Centrale Securitisation may be negatively affected. See "The Temporary Use of Cash in Structured Finance Transactions: Eligible Investment and Bank Guidelines", (http://www.moodys.com/research/The-Temporary-Use-of-Cash-in-Structured-Finance-Transactions-Eligible--PBS_SF289341) for further details regarding the implications of the proposed methodology changes on Moody's ratings.

On 21 August 2012, Moody's released an additional Request for Comment seeking market feedback on proposed adjustments to its modelling assumptions. These adjustments are designed to account for the impact of rapid and significant country credit deterioration on structured finance transactions. If the adjusted approach is implemented as proposed, the rating of the notes affected by today's rating action may be negatively affected. See "Approach to Assessing the impact of a Rapid Country Credit Deterioration on Structured Finance Transactions", (http://www.moodys.com/research/Approach-to-Assessing-the-Impact-of-a-Rapid-Country-Credit--PBS_SF294880) for further details regarding the implications of the proposed methodology changes on Moody's ratings.

In reviewing the impact of the updated set-off methodology, Moody's used ABSROM to model the cash flows and determine the loss for each tranche. The cash flow model evaluates all default scenarios that are then weighted considering the probabilities of the lognormal distribution assumed for the portfolio default rate. In each default scenario, the corresponding loss for each class of notes is calculated given the incoming cash flows from the assets and the outgoing payments to third parties and noteholders. Therefore, the expected loss or EL for each tranche is the sum product of (1) the probability of occurrence of each default scenario; and (2) the loss derived from the cash flow model in each default scenario for each tranche.

As such, Moody's analysis encompasses the assessment of stressed scenarios.
