      average of the principal balances of the loans in Cityscape's servicing
      portfolio outstanding at the close of business on each business day 
      during such period.  After Cityscape acquires title to a property by 
      foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, Cityscape obtains an 
      updated appraisal of the property, and any remaining loan balance in 
      excess of its fair market value (as determined by such new appraisal)
      is generally charged off.
(2)   "Gross losses" means the outstanding principal balance plus accrued but
      unpaid interest on liquidated mortgage loans.
