                         Independent Accountant's Report

To Banc One Mortgage Capital Markets, LLC:

We have examined management's assertion about Banc One Mortgage Capital Markets
LLC's ("BOMCM") compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in
the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program
for Mortgage Bankers ("USAP") (except for commercial loan and multifamily loan
servicing for which minimum servicing standards V.4 and VI.1 are inapplicable to
such servicing according to the Mortgage Bankers Association) as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1998 included in the accompanying management assertion.
Management is responsible for BOMCM'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 BOMCM'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 BOMCM's compliance with the minimum servicing standards.

In our opinion, management's assertion that BOMCM complied with the
aforementioned minimum servicing standards as of and for the year ended December
31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
