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 Citigroup) and subsidiaries' (the Company)
compliance with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 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 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 Citicorp Mortgage, Inc. and
subsidiaries complied in all material respects with the aforementioned minimum
servicing standards as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 is fairly
stated, in all material respects.
