Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On March 28, 2006, Accredited Home Lenders Holding Co. (“Accredited”) closed a securitization containing approximately $1.0 billion of first-lien and second-lien residential mortgage loans through its real estate investment trust (REIT) subsidiary, Accredited Mortgage Loan REIT Trust (the “REIT”). The securitization utilized a senior/subordinated structure, with four classes of senior notes and nine classes of subordinate notes being issued as set forth in the table below.

M-9    BBB-/Baa3/BBB (low)      10,038,000    4.66    1M LIBOR    2.10 %   100

The securitization is structured as a financing by Accredited with the result being that both the mortgage loans and the debt represented by the notes remain on the REIT’s balance sheet.

The REIT used the proceeds from the securitization primarily to repay warehouse financing for the mortgage loans.

Lead manager for the transaction was Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, with Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC acting as co-managers.
