FN * Capitalized  terms used  and  not otherwise  defined  herein shall have the
     same meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus  Supplement dated December
     16, 1997 and the Prospectus dated November 18, 1997 (collectively  referred
     to herein as the  "Prospectus").  The  Prospectus  has been  filed with the
     Securities and Exchange  Commission  pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5)  under file
     number 333-40467.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Empire  Funding Home Loan Owner Trust 1997-5 (the  "Issuer") was formed
pursuant  to an owner trust  agreement  dated as of December 1, 1997 and entered
into by  PaineWebber  Mortgage  Acceptance  Corporation  IV, as  depositor  (the
"Depositor"),  Wilmington  Trust Company,  as owner trustee,  U.S. Bank National
Association d/b/a First Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), as paying agent
and Empire Funding Corp., as servicer ("Empire Funding").  The Issuer issued ten
classes of Home Loan Asset  Backed Notes  pursuant to an  indenture  dated as of
December 1, 1997 between the Issuer and U.S. Bank, as indenture trustee.

     As of the Closing Date assets of the Issuer consist  primarily of a Grantor
Trust  Certificate  evidencing 100% of the ownership  interest in Empire Funding
Grantor Trust 1997-5 (the "Grantor  Trust"),  formed pursuant to a grantor trust
agreement  dated as of December 1, 1997 and entered into by the Depositor,  U.S.
Bank,  as grantor  trustee  and  Empire  Funding,  the  assets of which  consist
primarily of a pool of certain  closed-end,  fixed rate home loans (the "Initial
Loans"),  as described herein which are either secured  primarily by second lien
mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar security instruments or unsecured.

     The statistical  information presented in the Prospectus Supplement,  dated
December 16, 1997,  concerning  the Initial Loans  identified as of such date is
based on the  characteristics  of a portion of such Initial Loans as of November
30, 1997. The following is information concerning all of the Initial Loans as of
the close of business on November  30, 1997 (or with respect to any Initial Loan
originated or acquired by Empire  Funding after  November 30, 1997,  the date of
origination or acquisition of such Initial Loan) (the "Cut-Off Date").

     As of the Cut Off Date,  the Initial Loans  consisted of 5,519 Loans with a
Cut-Off  Date  Principal  Balance  totaling   $180,191,204  (the  "Cut-Off  Date
Principal  Balance").  As of the Cut-Off  Date,  all the Initial Loans had fixed
Loan Rates  ("Fixed Rate Loans") which ranged from 9.99% per annum to 18.50% per
annum and had a weighted average Loan Rate of  approximately  14.249% per annum.
The Cut-Off Date  Principal  Balances of the Initial Loans ranged from $1,426 to
$99,938 and  average  $32,649.  As of the Cut-Off  Date,  the  weighted  average
remaining  term to stated  maturity of the Initial Loans was  approximately  243
months  and the  weighted  average  number of months  that  have  elapsed  since
origination was one month. As of the Cut-Off Date, the weighted average Combined
Loan-to-Value  Ratio  of  the  Initial  Loans  which  were  Mortgage  Loans  was
approximately  117.24%  with the  highest  Combined  Loan-to-Value  Ratio  being
147.00%.  As of the Cut-Off Date 5,084 of the Initial  Loans which were Mortgage
Loans (representing  approximately  98.14% of the Cut-Off Date Principal Balance
of such Initial Loans) had a Combined  Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 100%. As
of the Cut-Off Date, all of the Initial Loans are fully  amortizing loans having
original stated maturities of not more than 25 years. As of the Cut-Off Date, no
Initial Loan was scheduled to mature later than December 9, 2022.

     As of the Cut-Off Date, approximately 100% of the Initial Loans (by Cut-Off
Date  Principal  Balance)  which were  Mortgage  Loans were secured by Mortgaged
Properties located in 48 states and the District of Columbia.  As of the Cut-Off
Date,  approximately  100% of the  Initial  Loans  (by  Cut-Off  Date  Principal
Balance)  which  were  Mortgage  Loans  were  secured  by  Mortgaged  Properties
represented by the related Obligors to be owner-occupied.

     As of the Cut-Off Date, none of the Initial Loans were 30 days or more past
due. The weighted  average  Credit Score for the Initial Loans as of the Cut-Off
Date was 672.

     The following tables are based on certain statistical  characteristics with
respect  to the  Initial  Loans as of the  Cut-Off  Date.  The sum of the dollar
amounts and percentages in the following  tables may not equal the totals due to
rounding.
