         Certain  information  as to the Mortgage Loans as of the Reference Date
is set forth in Exhibit 1 in tabular format. Other than with respect to rates of
interest,  percentages  (approximate)  are  stated  in  such  tables  by  Stated
Principal  Balance of the Mortgage  Loans as of the Reference Date and have been

                           SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS

THE MASTER SERVICER

         Countrywide Home Loans,  Inc.  ("Countrywide")  will continue to act as
Master Servicer under the Agreement.

         At September 30, 1998, Countrywide provided servicing for approximately
$196.9 billion aggregate  principal amount of mortgage loans,  substantially all
of which are being  serviced for  unaffiliated  persons.  At September 30, 1998,
Countrywide   provided   servicing  for  approximately  $1.3  billion  aggregate
principal  amount of first and second lien mortgage loans  originated under home
equity lines of credit.

FORECLOSURE AND DELINQUENCY EXPERIENCE

         The  following   table   summarizes  the  delinquency  and  foreclosure
experience,  respectively, on the dates indicated, of home equity loans serviced
by the Master Servicer. Since Countrywide only began servicing home equity loans
in October 1994, the delinquency and foreclosure  percentages may be affected by
the size and relative lack of seasoning of the servicing  portfolio because many
of such loans were not  outstanding  long  enough to give rise to some or all of
the  periods of  delinquency  indicated  in the chart  below.  Accordingly,  the
information  should not be considered  as a basis for assessing the  likelihood,
amount  or  severity  of  delinquency  or losses  on the  Mortgage  Loans and no
assurances  can  be  given  that  the  foreclosure  and  delinquency  experience
presented  in the table  below  will be  indicative  of such  experience  on the
Mortgage Loans:

(1)  The  period of  delinquency  is based on the  number of days  payments  are
     contractually past due.

(2)  Certain total  percentages  and dollar amounts may not equal the sum of the
     percentages and dollar amounts  indicated in the columns due to differences
     in rounding.

(3)  "Foreclosure Rate" is the dollar amount of mortgage loans in foreclosure as
     a percentage of the total principal  balance of mortgage loans  outstanding
     as of the date indicated.

(4)  "Bankruptcy  Rate" is the  dollar  amount of  mortgage  loans for which the
     related  borrower has  declared  bankruptcy  as a  percentage  of the total
     principal balance of mortgage loans outstanding as of the date indicated.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         The Master  Servicer has made and will continue to make  investments to
identify,  modify  or  replace  any  computer  systems  which  are not year 2000
compliant and to address other related issues  associated with the change of the
millennium.  In the event that computer  problems arise out of a failure of such
efforts to be  completed on time,  or in the event that the computer  systems of
the  Master  Servicer  or the  Trustee  are not fully year 2000  compliant,  the
resulting  disruptions  in the  collection  or  distribution  of receipts on the
Mortgage  Loans  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  the  holders  of the
Certificates.

                         DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES

         The Certificates will be allocated and entitled to receive interest and
principal payments as described in the Prospectus  Supplement under "Description
of the Certificates-- Distributions on the Certificates".

         As of  November  16, 1998 (the  "Certificate  Date"),  the  Certificate
Principal Balance of the Certificates was approximately  $128,644,026.64.  As of
the  Certificate  Date the  Pool  Factor  was  approximately  0.7196466  and the
Invested Amount was approximately  $128,644,026.64.  For additional  information
with respect to the  Certificates,  see "Description of the Certificates" in the
Prospectus Supplement.

REPORTS TO CERTIFICATEHOLDERS

         The  most  recent   monthly   statement  that  has  been  furnished  to
Certificateholders  of record on the most recent  Distribution  Date is included
herein as Exhibit 2.

                             THE CERTIFICATE INSURER

         Effective  February  17,  1998,  MBIA Inc.,  a New York Stock  Exchange
listed company (the "Company"), acquired all of the outstanding stock of Capital
Markets Assurance Corporation ("CapMAC") through a merger with its parent CapMAC
Holdings Inc. Pursuant to a reinsurance  agreement,  CapMAC has ceded all of its
net  insured  risks  (including  any  amounts  due but unpaid  from third  party
reinsurers),  as well as its unearned premiums and contingency reserves, to MBIA
Insurance Corporation,  a New York Stock company ("MBIA"). MBIA is the principal
operating  subsidiary  of the Company.  The Company is not  obligated to pay the
debts of or claims against MBIA.

         MBIA files annual,  quarterly and special reports and other information
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  These documents may be
reviewed at the SEC's public reference rooms in Washington,  D.C., New York, New
York and Chicago,  Illinois.  Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330  for further
information on the public reference rooms. MBIA's SEC filings are also available
to the public at the SEC's Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

                     CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

         Prospective   investors  should  consider   carefully  the  income  tax
consequences of an investment in the  Certificates  discussed under the sections
titled "Federal Income Tax  Consequences"  in the Prospectus  Supplement and the
Prospectus,  which the following discussion  supplements.  Prospective investors
should consult their tax advisors with respect to those consequences.

         On December 30, 1997 the Internal  Revenue  Service (the "IRS")  issued
final  regulations (the  "Amortizable  Bond Premium  Regulations")  dealing with
amortizable  bond  premium.  These  regulations  specifically  do not  apply  to
prepayable  debt  instruments  subject to  Section  1272(a)(6).  Absent  further
guidance  from the IRS,  the  Trustee  intends to account for  amortizable  bond
premium  in the manner  described  in the  Prospectus.  It is  recommended  that
prospective  purchasers of the Certificates consult their tax advisors regarding
the possible application of the Amortizable Bond Premium Regulations.

         The Taxpayer  Relief Act of 1997 and the IRS  Restructuring  and Reform
Act of 1998  reduced  the  capital  gains  tax rates  for  certain  noncorporate
taxpayers.  Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors with respect
to these tax law changes.
<PAGE>
         The Small Business and Job  Protection Act of 1996 and Taxpayer  Relief
Act of 1997  modified the  definition  of U.S.  person with regard to trusts.  A
trust is a "U.S. Person" if a court within the United States is able to exercise
primary  supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United
States persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.
In addition, U.S. Persons include certain trusts that can elect to be treated as
U.S. Persons.

         Final  regulations  dealing  with backup  withholding  and  information
reporting  on income  paid to foreign  persons  and  related  matters  (the "New
Withholding  Regulations") were published in the Federal Register on October 14,
1997. In general, the New Withholding Regulations do not significantly alter the
substantive  withholding and information  reporting  requirements,  but do unify
current certification  procedures and forms and clarify reliance standards.  The
New Withholding  Regulations generally will be effective for payments made after
December 31, 1999, subject to certain transition rules.

                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

         Prospective  purchasers of the Certificates  should consider  carefully
the ERISA  consequences  of an investment in the  Certificates  discussed  under
"ERISA Considerations" in the Prospectus,  the Prospectus Supplement and herein,
and should  consult  their own advisors with respect to those  consequences.  As
described in the  Prospectus  Supplement and subject to the  qualifications  and
limitations  set forth therein,  it is believed that the Exemption will apply to
the acquisition and holding of the Certificates by Plans and that all conditions
of the Exemption other than those within the control of investors will be met.

                                     RATINGS

         The  Certificates  are  currently  rated "AAA" by Standard & Poor's and
"Aaa" by Moody's. See "Ratings" in the Prospectus Supplement.

                             METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION

         The Supplement is to be used by Countrywide Securities Corporation,  an
affiliate of CWABS,  Inc. and Countrywide  Home Loans,  Inc., in connection with
offers and sales relating to market making  transactions in the  Certificates in
which  Countrywide  Securities   Corporation  acts  as  principal.   Countrywide
Securities Corporation may also act as agent in such transactions. Sales will be
made at prices relating to the prevailing prices at the time of sale.
