ARTHUR ANDERSEN
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA:
We have examined management's assertion about Advanta Mortgage
Corp. USA's compliance with the minimum servicing standards
identified in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP)
and that Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA had in effect fidelity bond
coverage in the amount of $15 million and mortgage contingent
liability protection coverage in the amount of $2 million as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in the
accompanying management assertion. Management is responsible for
Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's compliance with those minimum
servicing standards and for maintaining fidelity bond coverage
and mortgage contingent liability protection coverage policies.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's
assertion about the entity's compliance with the minimum
servicing standards and maintenance of fidelity bond and mortgage
contingent liability protection coverage policies based on our
examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and
accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about
Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's compliance with the minimum
servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination does
not provide a legal determination on Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Advanta Mortgage
Corp. USA complied with the aforementioned minimum servicing
standards and that Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA had in effect
fidelity bond coverage in the amount of $15 million and mortgage
contingent liability protection coverage in the amount of $2
million as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996 is fairly
stated, in all material respects.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Long Beach Mortgage Company
Orange, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of
financial condition of Long Beach Mortgage Company and
subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's
equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally auditing
standards and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Long
Beach Mortgage Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996
and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As described in Note 2, effective January 1, 1995, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122,
Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on
the basic 1996 consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole. The Supplemental Schedule of HUD adjusted net worth is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic 1996 consolidated financial
statements. This schedule is the responsibility of the Company's
management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1996 consolidated
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects when considered in relation to the basic 1996
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also
issued a report dated May 15, 1997, on our consideration of Long
Beach Mortgage Company's internal control structure and a report
dated May 15, 1997, on its compliance with laws and regulations.
