INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To Ameriquest Mortgage Company:
We have examined management's assertion about Ameriquest Mortgage Company's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers (USAP) as of and for the year ended December 31, 1997, included in the
accompanying management assertion. Management is responsible for Ameriquest
Mortgage Company's compliance with those minimum servicing standards. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the
entity's compliance 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 Ameriquest Mortgage Company's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that Our
examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does
not provide a legal determination on Ameriquest Mortgage Company's compliance
with the minimum servicing standards.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Ameriquest Mortgage Company complied
with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1997 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
