                         INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Citicorp Mortgage, Inc.:

We have  examined  management's  assertion  about  Citicorp  Mortgage,  Inc. (an
indirect wholly owned  subsidiary of Citicorp) and  subsidiaries'  (the Company)
compliance  with the minimum  servicing  standards  identified  in the  Mortgage
Bankers   Association  of    America's  UNIFORM  SINGLE ATTESTATION  PROGRAM FOR
MORTGAGE  BANKERS as of and  for   the  year ended December 31, 1997 included in
the  accompanying  management  assertion.  Management  is  responsible  for  the
Company's compliance with those minimum servicing standards.  Our responsibility
is  to  express  an  opinion  on  management's  assertion  about  the  Company'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 the Company's  compliance  with the
minimum  servicing   standards  and  performing  such  other  procedures  as  we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe our examination provides a
reasonable  basis for our  opinion.  Our  examination  does not  provide a legal
determination on the Company's compliance with the minimum servicing standards.

In  our  opinion,  management's  assertion  that  Citicorp  Mortgage,  Inc.  and
subsidiaries complied with the aforementioned  minimum servicing standards as of
and for the year ended  December  31,  1997 is fairly  stated,  in all  material
respects.

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 the  Company's  compliance  with the minimum  servicing
standards.

In our  opinion,  management's  assertion  that the  Company  complied  with the
aforementioned  minimum servicing standards and that the Company had in effect a
fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy in the amounts of $100,000,000 and
$20,000,000,  respectively,  as of and for the year ended  December  31, 1997 is
fairly stated in all material respects.

                              REPORT OF MANAGEMENT

We, as members of  management  of  Temple-Inland  Financial  Services,  Inc. and
Subsidiaries  (including  Knutson  Mortgage  Corporation)  (the  "Company")  are
responsible for complying with the minimum  servicing  standards as set forth in
the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's UNIFORM SINGLE ATTESTATION PROGRAM
FOR MORTGAGE BANKERS (the "USAP").  We are also responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over compliance with these standards.  We
have  performed  an  evaluation  of the  Company's  compliance  with the minimum
servicing standards as set forth in the USAP as of December 31, 1997 and for the
15 month period then ended. Based on this evaluation,  we assert that during the
15 month period ended December 31, 1997, the Company  complied,  in all material
respects, with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the USAP.

During  the 15 month  period  ended  December  31,  1997,  the  Company  did not
consistently  document its supervisory  review and approval of custodial account
reconciliations.  Although  not  consistently  documented,  in most  instances a
supervisory  review had taken place. As of January 1998, a procedure to document
supervisory  review and  approval  had been  instituted.  Because a  supervisory
review  was  made  in  most  instances,  we  believe  this  is  not  a  material
noncompliance with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the USAP.

As of December  31, 1997,  the Company had in effect a fidelity  bond and errors
and omissions policy in the amount of $30,000,000.

Dear Sirs:

As of and for the year ended  December 31, 1997,  FT Mortgage  Companies and its

has  complied in all  material  respects,  except for the matters  disclosed  in

MATTER #1:

The Company is required to maintain a loan  servicing file for each of the loans
it services.  During an inventory  of files in prior  years,  the Company  noted
several missing files. The situation reported in the prior year still exists.

MANAGEMENT CORRECTIVE ACTION

The  Company  maintains   collateral   documentation  files  with  the  document
custodians. Internal loan servicing fries will be recreated as necessary.

MATTER #2:

The Company is required to analyze  escrow  balances  for all loans on an annual
basis.  Testing  in prior  years  revealed  a group of loans on which an  escrow
analysis  had not been  performed  in the  preceding  12 months.  The  situation
reported in the prior year still exists.

MANAGEMENT CORRECTIVE ACTION

Management  was made aware of the issue in the prior year and  performed  escrow
analyses on a large  number of the loans  identified  and is  currently  working
through the remainder of the loan.
