Rating Action: Moody's assigns the rating of Aaa to Florida Housing Finance Corporation Homeowner Mortgage Revenue Bonds
Global Credit Research - 09 Apr 2013
Moody's Rating
Issue: Homeowner Mortgage Revenue Bonds (Special Program) 2013 Series A (Non-AMT) ; Rating: Aaa; Sale Amount: $108,810,000; Expected Sale Date: 4-25-2013; Rating Description: Housing Other
OPINION
Moody's Investors Service has assigned a rating of Aaa to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation Homeowner Mortgage Revenue Bonds (Special Program) $108.81 million 2013 Series A (Non-AMT). The outlook on the bond program remains negative.
RATING RATIONALE
The Aaa rating on the Homeowner Mortgage Revenue Bonds (Special Program) reflects the program's strong financial position, high quality GNMA and FNMA mortgage backed securities which will collateralize the bonds as well as the sufficient program asset to debt ratio as exhibited in the consolidated program cash flows. The negative outlook reflects the current rating outlook on the US government's bond rating, and the rating of FNMA.
STRENGTHS
- 100% of the loans are backed by GNMA or Fannie Mae. The GNMA guarantee on payment of principal and interest on the mortgage loans backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
- Sound legal structure and legal limitations on investments provide additional security for the program.
- Cash Flow projections demonstrating that under various pre- payment and non-origination scenarios, MBS and investment revenues are more than adequate to pay the required debt service on the bonds.
CHALLENGES
- Potential decline of asset to debt ratio due to external factors.
- Potential deterioration of U.S. Government credit rating
OUTLOOK
The negative outlook reflects the current rating outlook on the US government's bond rating, and the rating of FNMA.
WHAT COULD MAKE THE RATING GO UP
N/A
WHAT COULD MAKE THE RATING GO DOWN
Presence of external factors that severely erode asset to debt ratio.
Potential rating deterioration on the entities which guarantee full and timely payment on the bonds
