Date: March 30, 2006 -7- EXHIBIT 99.1 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm with Management Assertion -------------- PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP PricewaterhouseCoopers Center 300 Madison Avenue New York NY 10017 Telephone (646) 471 3000 Facsimile (813) 286 6000 Report of Independent Auditors To the Board of Directors of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.: We have examined management's assertion about JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s (the "Company") compliance with the minimum servicing standards as set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers ("USAP") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company has interpreted USAP and determined that USAP minimum servicing standards I.1, I.2, I.3, III.1, III.5, IV.1, and VII.1 are applicable to master servicers and are included in the accompanying management assertion (see Exhibit I). Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with these minimum servicing standards. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion, as it relates to the Company's compliance with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards, based on our examination. The Company has interpreted USAP and determined that USAP minimum servicing standards I.4, II.1, II.2, II.3, II.4, III.2, III.3, III.4, III.6, V.1, V.2, V.3, V.4 and VI.1 are not applicable to master servicers. The Company uses a subservicing organization to perform the servicing obligations subject to servicing standards I.4, II.1, II.2, II.3, II.4, III.2, III.3, III.4, III.6, V.1, V.2, V.3, V.4 and VI.1 of the USAP. We did not examine the Company's compliance with the servicing standards referred to in the previous sentence and accordingly, do not express an opinion thereon. Our examination was made in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company's compliance with the minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company's compliance with the minimum servicing standards. In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards solely as they relate to standards I.1, I.2, I.3, III.1, III.5, IV.1, and VII.1 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ------------------------------ March 29, 2006 -8- EXHIBIT I Management's Assertion Concerning Compliance with USAP Minimum Servicing Standards March 29, 2006 As of and for the year ended December 31, 2005, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the "Company") has complied in all material respects with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers ("USAP") that we have determined are applicable to master servicers. We have interpreted USAP and determined that minimum servicing standards I.1, I.2, I.3, III.1, III.5, IV.1, and VII.1 as set forth in USAP are applicable to master servicers. We have also interpreted that USAP minimum servicing standards I.4, II.1, II.2, II.3, II.4, III.2, III.3, III.4, III.6, V.1, V.2, V.3, V.4 and VI.1 as set forth in USAP are not applicable to master servicers; for these minimum servicing standards the Company relies on the performance of its subservicers. This assertion relates specifically to the Company's Master Servicing Portfolio. It is the Company's policy to obtain and review USAP reports from the independent auditors of its subservicers on an annual basis. Not all of these USAP reports for the year ended December 31, 2005 are available as of March 29, 2006. As of March 29, 2006, the Company has obtained USAP reports for 36% of its subservicers. These subservicers serviced loans comprising 92% of the unpaid principal balance of the Company's Master Servicing Portfolio as of December 31, 2005. Instances of non-compliance noted in the USAP reports received from the subservicers as of March 29, 2006, have been included in Exhibit II hereto. As of and for this same period, the Company had in effect fidelity bond and errors and omissions policies in the amounts of $250,000,000 and $25,000,000, respectively. /s/ William Jenkins ------------------------- William Jenkins Vice President JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. /s/ Kelly A.

Servicer Exception ---------- ----------- Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC The Company did not comply with the requirement to prepare custodial bank account reconciliations and to resolve reconciling items within 90 calendar days of their original identification as specified by their minimum servicing standards. Certain ARM loans serviced by the Company were transferred in with an incorrect look back date due to errors in prior servicer records. These certain loans had ARM adjustments shortly after servicing transfer, but prior to the Company receiving the related mortgage documents from the prior servicer. When the Company received the mortgage documents and these errors were identified, the Company did not adjust the principal and interest payment amount. The Company has subsequently made adjustments to their procedures when they identify an error in prior servicer data to analyze the effect on the customer's account and make the appropriate adjustment. North Fork Bancorporation, Inc. The Company did not comply with the requirement to prepare custodial bank account reconciliations within 45 calendar days after the cutoff date and the requirement to resolve reconciling items within 90 calendar days of their original identification as specified by their minimum servicing standards. For the month ended December 31, 2005, all custodial bank reconciliations had been completed and reviewed on a timely basis. PHH Mortgage Corporation The Company completed all custodial bank account reconciliations within 60 days of the cutoff date, however did not complete all reconciliations within 45 days of the cutoff as specified by the minimum servicing standards. As such, the Company has determined that it was materially non-compliant with the requirement to prepare custodial bank account reconciliations within 45 days after the cutoff date. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company determined it was materially non-compliant with the requirement to resolve reconciling items resulting from custodial bank account reconciliations within 90 calendar days as specified by the minimum servicing standards. -9- Annual Statement of Compliance Re: IXIS Real Estate Capital Trust 2005-HE3 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2005-HE3 (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Agreement has been made, and (ii) based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such Servicer and the nature and status thereof. /s/ William Jenkins March 15, 2006 ------------------- William Jenkins Vice President JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. -10- KPMG LLP Telephone 213 972 4000 Suite 2000 Fax 213 822 1217 355 South Grand Avenue Internet www.us.kpmg.com Los Angeles, CA 90071 Independent Accountants' Report The Board of Directors Countrywide Financial Corporation: We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management Assertion, that Countrywide Financial Corporation and subsidiaries, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc.
