Item 5.           OTHER EVENTS.

                  On or about August 29, 1996, the Registrant will cause the
         issuance and sale of IMH Assets Corp., Collateralized Mortgage Bonds,
         Series 1996-1, (the "Bonds") issued pursuant to a an Indenture to be
         dated as of August 1, 1996, between CMB Trust Series 1996-1, as issuer,
         and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as indenture trustee.

                  In connection with the sale of the Bonds the Registrant has
         been advised by Salomon Brothers Inc, the Underwriter (the
         "Underwriters"), that the Underwriter has furnished to prospective
         investors certain yield tables and other computational materials (the
         "Computational Materials") with respect to the Bonds following the
         effective date of Registration Statement No. 333-6637, which
         Computational Materials are being filed as exhibits to this report.

                  The Computational Materials have been provided by the
         Underwriter. The information in the Computational Materials is
         preliminary and may be superseded by the Prospectus Supplement relating
         to the Bonds and by any other information subsequently filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission.

                  The Computational Materials consist of the first 8 pages (the
         "Computational Materials") that appear after Exhibit A of this report.
         THE UNDERWRITERS HAVE ADVISED THE REGISTRANT THAT CERTAIN INFORMATION
         IN THE COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS MAY HAVE BEEN BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS THAT
         DIFFERED FROM THE FINAL POOL INFORMATION.

                  The Computational Materials were prepared by the Underwriter
         at the request of certain prospective investors, based on assumptions
         provided by, and satisfying the special requirements of, such
         prospective investors. The Computational Materials may be based on
         assumptions that differ from the assumptions set forth in the
         Prospectus Supplement. The Computational Materials may not include, and
         do not purport to include, information based on assumptions
         representing a complete set of possible scenarios. Accordingly, the
         Computational Materials may not be relevant to or appropriate for
         investors other than those specifically requesting them.

                  In addition, the actual characteristics and performance of the
         mortgage loans underlying the Bonds (the "Mortgage Loans") may differ
         from the assumptions used in the Computational Materials, which are
         hypothetical in nature and which were provided to certain investors
         only to give a general sense of how the yield, average life, duration,
         expected maturity, interest rate sensitivity and cash flow
         characteristics of the Bonds might vary under varying prepayment and
         other scenarios. Any difference between such assumptions and the actual
         characteristics and performance of the Mortgage Loans will affect the
         actual yield, average life, duration, expected maturity, interest rate
         sensitivity and cash flow characteristics of the Bonds.

MBIA GUARANTY: The Bonds will have the benefit of a 100% MBIA wrap of principal
and interest (subject to an available funds cap, see "Basis Risk" in Structural
Details below). MBIA's claims-paying ability is rated Aaa/AAA by Moody's/S&P.

OVERCOLLATERALIZATION: There will be approximately $5,100,000 (or 2.00% of the
aggregate balance of the Mortgage Loans) of Overcollateralization at issuance,
i.e. the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans will exceed the
amount of the Bonds on day one. MBIA will then guarantee the Bonds to a AAA
level. The Overcollateralization level of 2.00% is subject to MBIA's, Moody's
and S&P's due diligence and subject to adjustment as described below.



                                        3

<PAGE>












OVERCOLLATERALIZATION PROVISIONS: There will be no required increase in the
Overcollateralization level unless delinquencies exceed the levels established
by MBIA. If, due to losses, the amount of the Overcollateralization level is
reduced below 2.00%, Excess Spread will be applied to fast pay Bond principal
and meet the required level of Overcollateralization. Under certain
circumstances which meet MBIA requirements, the Overcollateralization level will
be permitted to step down.

EXCESS SPREAD: All Excess Spread on the Mortgage Loans is available to cover
losses and to fast pay the Bonds principal in order to maintain the required
Overcollateralization, and to pay interest shortfalls. The initial amount of
Excess Spread is approximately 3.16%. When the adjustable rate mortgage loans
are fully indexed (assuming constant Libor rates) the Excess Spread will be
approximately 4.71%.

MINIMUM SPREAD: MBIA requires that 50 basis points of the Excess Spread be set
aside each month as Minimum Spread (a dedicated portion of the Excess Spread).
This Minimum Spread feature ensures that there will always be some amount of
Excess Spread to cover losses and/or fund the Overcollateralization to its
required level.

LOSSES: Generally, any losses on the underlying Mortgage Loans will be absorbed
first, by the Excess Spread which will always equal at least the Minimum Spread,
second by the Overcollateralization and, if and when that is exhausted, MBIA
will absorb all further losses.


STRUCTURAL DETAILS
- ------------------

THE BONDS: The Bonds will be publicly offered, ERISA eligible, but NOT SMMEA
eligible, and will be rated AAA by both Standard & Poor's and Moody's. The Bonds
will be offered at a dollar price of approximately par and will pay interest at
a Bond Interest Rate of one month Libor + .32% (and after the payment date in
September 2003, one month Libor + 1.32%) subject to available funds and a
Maximum Bond Interest Rate of approximately 14.20% (at issuance), calculated on
an actual/360 basis. There are no interim caps on the Bond Interest Rate.

BOND INTEREST PAYMENTS: The monthly Bond Interest Rate will equal the lesser of:
(i) 1 month LIBOR + .32% (and after the payment date in September 2003, one
month Libor + 1.32%), and (ii) the gross coupon on the Mortgage Loans minus the
servicing and trustee fees, the MBIA fee and the Minimum Spread. If the Bond
Interest Rate paid to Bondholders in any given month is calculated under (ii)
above, see "Basis Risk" below.

BASIS RISK: Due to the index mismatch (collateral index is 6 month Libor while
the Bond index is 1 month Libor), the actual Bond Interest Rate may be less than
1 month LIBOR + .32% in some periods. This may also occur if 6 month Libor and 1
month LIBOR rise quickly since the Mortgage Loan cash flows are constrained by
interim caps while the Bond Interest Rate does not have interim caps. While
basis risk interest shortfalls are not guaranteed by MBIA, they will be carried
forward and such shortfalls will accrue interest until paid, if and when Excess
Spread becomes available.



                                        4

<PAGE>











BOND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS: Generally, monthly principal payments on the Bonds will
be the principal collected on the Mortgage Loans plus any Excess Spread required
to fast pay the Bonds. Under certain circumstances, principal payments on the
Mortgage Loans will be paid to the owner of the equity cash flows (which is an
affiliate of the Master Servicer) when the Overcollateralization level is
permitted to step down.




                                        5

<PAGE>












OPTIONAL CALL PROVISION: The deal may be called by the Servicer on any payment
date on or after the earlier of (i) the payment date on which the current
balance of the Bonds is less than or equal to 25% of their original balance and
(ii) the payment date in September 2003. In either event, the Bonds will be
redeemed at par plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any unpaid Basis
Risk shortfall).

PREPAYMENT ASSUMPTIONS: The Bonds will be priced assuming a 20% CPR throughout
the life of the collateral.

MONTHLY ADVANCES: To protect investors from payment delays due to borrower
delinquencies, the Servicer is required to make monthly advances to cover these
delinquencies.

COMPENSATING INTEREST: The Servicer is required to pay compensating interest to
the extent of it's servicing fees to cover prepayment interest shortfalls due to
partial and full prepayments by borrowers.
