Item 5.           OTHER EVENTS.

                  On or about December 12, 1997, the Registrant will cause the
         issuance and sale of approximately $177,834,485 initial principal
         amount of Collateralized Asset-Backed Notes, Series 1997-2, Class A,
         Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B (collectively, the "Notes") pursuant
         to an Indenture, to be dated as of November 1, 1997, between Imperial
         CMB Trust Series 1997-2, as issuer, and Bankers Trust Company of
         California, N.A., as indenture trustee.

                  In connection with the sale of the Series 1997-2, Class A,
         Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B (collectively, the "Underwritten
         Notes"), the Registrant has been advised by Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc.
         (the "Underwriter"), that the Underwriter has furnished to prospective
         investors certain yield tables and other computational materials (the
         "Computational Materials") with respect to the Underwritten
         Certificates following the effective date of Registration Statement No.
         333-38879, 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         preliminary and may be superseded by the Prospectus Supplement relating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 Notes and by any other information subsequently
         filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                  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 Underwritten Notes (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 a particular class of Underwritten Notes 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 Underwritten Notes.
