PART 1
ITEM 1. Business.
The trust fund (the "Trust") created pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 1998 (the "Agreement"), by
and among Prudential Securities Secured Financing Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, in its capacity as Depositor (the "Depositor"),
Wilshire Servicing Corporation, a Delaware corporation, in its
capacity as Servicer (the "Servicer"), WMFC 1997-2 Inc., a Delaware
corporation, in its capacity as Unaffiliated Seller (the
"Unaffiliated Seller"), and Bankers Trust Company of California,
N.A., in its capacity as Trustee (the "Trustee") and in its capacity
as Backup Servicer, the "Backup Servicer").
The Wilshire Mortgage Loan Trust 1998-3, Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1998-3 (the "Certificates") will consist of (i)
the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class
A-3 Certificates and the Class A-4 Certificates (collectively, the
"Class A Certificates" or the "Senior Certificates"), (ii) the Class
M-1 Certificates, the Class M-2 Certificates and the Class M-3
Certificates (collectively, the "Mezzanine Certificates", (iii) the
Class B Certificates (the "Class B Certificates" and together with
the Mezzanine Certificates, the "Subordinate Certificates") and (iv)
the Class R Certificates (the "Class R Certificates"). Only the
Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates (collectively,
the "Offered Certificates") are offered hereby.
The Certificates will represent undivided beneficial ownership
interests in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") consisting of two pools,
(each, a "Loan Group") of fixed- and adjustable-rate, closed-end,
monthly pay, generally fully amortizing mortgage loans (the
"Mortgage Loans") secured by first or second lien mortgages or deeds
of trust (the "Mortgages") on one- to four-family residential
properties (the "Mortgage Properties") held by Wilshire Mortgage
Loan Trust 1998-3 (the "Trust"). The Trust will be created pursuant
to the Agreement. The obligations of the Depositor, the Unaffiliated
Seller, the Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Servicer with
respect to the Certificates will be limited to their respective
contractual obligations under the Agreement.
Information with respect to the business of the Trust would not be
meaningful because the only "business" of the Trust is the
collection on the Mortgage Loans and distribution of payments on
the Certificates to Certificateholders. This information is
accurately summarized in the Monthly Reports to Certificateholders,
which are filed on Form 8-K. There is no additional relevant
information to report in response to Item 101 of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 2. Properties.
The Depositor owns no property. The Wilshire Mortgage Loan Trust
1998-3, in the aggregate, represent the beneficial ownership in a
Trust consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans. The Trust will
acquire title to real estate only upon default of the mortgagors
under the Mortgage Loan. Therefore, this item is inapplicable.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings.
None.
ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of Certificateholders during
the fiscal year covered by this report.
PART II
ITEM 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related
Stockholder Matters.
The Wilshire Mortgage Loan Trust 1998-3 represent, in the aggregate,
the beneficial ownership in a trust fund consisting primarily of the
Mortgage Loans. The Certificates are owned by Certificateholders as
trust beneficiaries. Strictly speaking, Registrant has no "common
equity," but for purposes of this Item only, Registrant's Wilshire
Mortgage Loan Trust 1998-3 are treated as "common equity."
(a) Market Information. There is no established public trading
market for Registrant's Certificates. The Registrant believes the
Certificates are traded primarily in intra-dealer markets and non-
centralized inter-dealer markets.
(b) Holders. The number of registered holders of all classes of
Certificates on December 31, 1998 was: 15.
(c) Dividends. Not applicable. The information regarding
dividends required by sub-paragraph (c) of Item 201 of Regulation
S-K is inapplicable because the Trust does not pay dividends.
However, information as to distribution to Certificateholders is
provided in the Monthly Reports to Certificateholders for each
month of the fiscal year in which a distribution to
Certificateholders was made.
ITEM 6. Selected Financial Data.
Not Applicable. Because of the limited activities of the Trust,
the Selected Financial Data required by Item 301 of Regulation
S-K does not add relevant information to that provided by the
Monthly Reports to Certificateholders, which are filed on a
monthly basis on Form 8-K.
ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Not Applicable. The information required by Item 303 of
Regulation S-K is inapplicable because the Trust does not have
management per se, but rather the Trust has a Trustee who causes
the preparation of the Monthly Reports to Certificateholders.
The information provided by the Monthly Reports to
Certificateholders, which are filed on a monthly basis on Form
8-K, does provide the relevant financial information regarding
the financial status of the Trust.
ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Monthly Report to Certificateholders as to distributions made on
October 5, 1998, and filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form 8-K on January 25, 1999.
Monthly Report to Certificateholders as to distributions made on
November 5, 1998, and filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form 8-K on January 25, 1999.
Monthly Report to Certificateholders as to distributions made on
December 7, 1998, and filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form 8-K on January 29, 1999.
Monthly Report to Certificateholders as to distributions made on
January 5, 1999, and filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on Form 8-K on January 29, 1999.
Annual Statement of Compliance by the Master Servicer is not
currently available and will be subsequently filed on Form 8.
Independent Accountant's Report on Servicer's will be subsequently
filed on Form 8.
ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on
Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
PART III
ITEM 10. Directors and Executive Officers of Registrant.
Not Applicable. The Trust does not have officers or directors.
Therefore, the information required by items 401 and 405 of
Regulation S-K are inapplicable.
ITEM 11. Executive Compensation.
Not Applicable. The Trust does not have officers or directors to
whom compensation needs to be paid. Therefore, the information
required by item 402 of regulation S-K is inapplicable.
ITEM 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management.
(a) Security ownership of certain beneficial owners. Under the
Indenture governing the Trust, the holders of the Certificates
generally do not have the right to vote and are prohibited from
taking part in management of the Trust. For purposes of this Item
and Item 13 only, however, the Certificateholders are treated as
"voting security" holders.

to the Registrant to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of
