Item 5. Other Events
The tables attached hereto as Exhibit 19.1 (the "Updated
Tables") update the tables contained on pages 37 through 41 (the "Original
Tables") of the Mellon Bank Premium Finance Loan Master Trust Prospectus, dated
December 12, 1996 (the "Prospectus"), which forms a part of the Registration
Statement on Form S-3, No. 333-11961. The "Geographic Concentration" table
appearing on pages 38 and 39 of the Prospectus has been updated to reflect the
fact that additional states became Permitted States and that address changes for
insureds have occurred. The table under the caption "Loan Loss Experience" has
been updated to set forth loss experience for the Identified Portfolio for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and for the eight month period ended August 31,
1998. The table under the caption "Loan Delinquency Experience Following
Cancellation" has been updated to add a new table to show delinquency experience
for the Identified Portfolio for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1997
and the eight month period ended August 31, 1998. The table under the caption
"Originators' Portfolio Yield" has been updated to add a new table to show
portfolio yield information for the Identified Portfolio for the twelve month
period ended December 31, 1997 and the eight month period ended August 31, 1998.
Capitalized but undefined terms used herein have the meanings set forth in the
Prospectus.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Net charge offs, as an annualized percentage of the average
outstanding principal balance of loans in the Identified Portfolio, increased to
0.39% for the eight month period ended August 31, 1998 from 0.16% for the twelve
months ended December 31, 1997. This increase resulted from two factors.
First, the Servicer's policy is generally to charge off loans
if uncollected 270 days after cancellation of the related insurance policy. As a
result, in any period the annualized percentage of charge-offs is affected by
the delinquency profile of loans in the pool at the beginning of the period. A
beginning of period pool characterized by delinquencies which are relatively low
in number and/or of relatively short duration will tend to have, all other
things being equal, a relatively lower annualized percentage of charge-offs in
the period. The Identified Portfolio was initially constituted in December, 1996
with a bulk transfer of loans to the Trust. One of the requirements for the
loans to be transferred was that the loans could not at the time of transfer
have been delinquent for more than thirty days. Consequently, the Identified
Portfolio at the beginning of the twelve month period ended December 31, 1997
(approximately two weeks after the initial transfer of loans to the Trust),
contained a relatively low proportion of loans delinquent for more than thirty
days. By comparison, the delinquency profile of the loans in the Identified
Portfolio at the beginning of the eight month period ended August 31, 1998 was
not so affected by a bulk transfer of non-delinquent loans shortly prior to the
beginning of the period. As a consequence, the annualized net charge-off
percentage for the latter period increased.
The increase in the annualized net charge-off percentage also
resulted from lower originations of new loans which, when compared to
charge-offs resulting in part from higher originations in the prior period,
yielded a higher charge-off percentage; economic pressures affecting the
insurance industry, which have resulted in insurance companies being more
assertive in resisting making unearned premium refunds; the utilization of new
insurance agents and increased extended payment terms, which have resulted in
increased risk of nonpayment; and higher levels of borrower bankruptcies, which
have contributed to increased charge-offs.
In the accompanying table "Originators' Portfolio
Yield/Identified Portfolio", the Average Outstanding Principal Balance
Receivables for the eight month period ended August 31, 1998 do not include
amounts held on deposit during such period in the Excess Funding Account, and
the Interest and Fee Income does not include earnings on amounts so held on
deposit. Funds were deposited in the Excess Funding Account in January, March,
April, May and June 1998 for

<PAGE> 3
the purpose of maintaining the required Minimum Transferor Interest under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the amounts so held on deposit and the
earnings on such amounts had been included in the table, the Average Revenue
Yield for the eight month period ended August 31, 1998 would have been 11.41% as
compared to 11.53% set forth in the accompanying "Originators' Portfolio
Yield/Identified Portfolio" table.
As of June 30, 1998, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement was
amended so as to permit the transfer to the Trust of Receivables represented by
Premium Finance Agreements financing insurance policies which included policies
written by Lloyds of London, subject to other limitations contained in the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The amendment also confirms the prohibition of
the transfer to the Trust of Receivables relating to any insurance carrier known
to any of the Originators or the Transferor to be subject of any insolvency,
receivership or other similar proceedings. The additional Receivables permitted
by this amendment began to be transferred to the Trust on July 1, 1998.
