OREANDA-NEWS.  Fitch Ratings has upgraded four and affirmed four classes of Banc of America Commercial Mortgage Inc. (BACM) commercial mortgage pass-through certificates series 2003-2. A detailed list of rating actions follows at the end of this press release.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The upgrades are due to significant defeasance and high credit enhancement as well as the expected continued delivering of the transaction (from loan payoffs) in the near future.

As of the June 2015 distribution date the pool's aggregate principal balance has been reduced by 96.44% to \\$59.7 million from \\$1.77 billion at issuance. Of the original 152 loans in the pool, six remain. Of the remaining loans, four are defeased (87.3%), one is performing (9.3%) and one is in special servicing (3.4%). Interest shortfalls are currently affecting classes L through P.

The performing loan (9.3%) and four defeased loans (87.3%) mature in 2018.

The non-defeased loan (9.3%) is a 152 unit multifamily property, built in 1988, located in Wilmington, NC. The property was last inspected on June 6, 2015. Per the inspection report, the property is in average condition and appearance compared to similar properties in the area. As of March 2015, the property reported a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.45x and 99% occupancy.

The specially serviced asset is Rustic Pines (3.4%), a 131-unit manufactured housing community located in Thompson, OH. The loan was transferred to special servicing after maturity default in October 2013. Per the special servicer commentary, the servicer accepted a Deed-in-Lieu of foreclose proceedings and engaged Foresite Realty Partners to manage the property. The property is in fair to poor condition. The special servicer is working with management to make necessary repairs. With further stabilization, the property will be marketed for sale. As of May 2015, occupancy had declined to 66% from 71% in December 2013.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Rating Outlooks on classes G, H, J and K remain Stable due to increased credit enhancement, significant paydown from defeased loans and declining risk of loan defaults. The Rating Outlook on class H has been revised to Stable from Negative due to increased credit enhancement, significant paydown from defeased loans, and low risk of additional loan defaults.
