INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Supervisory Committee of America First Credit Union:

We have examined  management's  assertion  about  America  First Credit  Union's
(AFCU's)  compliance  with the minimum  servicing  standards  identified  in the
Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage  Bankers (USAP) as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998 included
in the accompanying  management assertion.  Management is responsible for AFCU's
compliance with those standards.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management's assertion about AFCU'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 AFCU'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 AFCU's compliance with the minimum servicing standards.

In our opinion,  except as noted in the following  paragraph and in the appendix
to management's assertion letter, management's assertion that AFCU complied with
the  aforementioned  minimum  servicing  standards  as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material respects.

In three of forty  selections made in loan payoff testing,  AFCU did not satisfy
the USAP minimum servicing  standard for returning escrow funds held in trust to
a mortgagor within 30-calendar days of payoff of the mortgage loan.

     Management's Assertion on Compliance with Minimum Servicing Standards
            Set Forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
                                Mortgage Bankers

The Board of Directors
BOK Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries
  (including Bank of Oklahoma, N.A.)

We have examined  management's  assertion,  included in the accompanying  report
titled Report of Management on Compliance with Minimum  Servicing  Standards Set
Forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers,  that Bank
of  Oklahoma's  Mortgage  Banking  Division (the  "Division")  complied with the
minimum  servicing  standards set forth in the Mortgage  Bankers  Association of
America's  Uniform  Single  Attestation  Program for Mortgage  Bankers  ("USAP")
during the year ended  December  31, 1998.  Management  is  responsible  for the
Division's compliance with those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on management's  assertion about the Division'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 Division's compliance with those
requirements 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
Division's compliance with specified requirements.

In our  opinion,  management's  assertion  that the Division  complied  with the
aforementioned  requirements  during the year ended  December 31, 1998 is fairly
stated, in all material respects.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON APPLYING AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES

To the Board of Directors of
Bank United
Houston, Texas

We have performed the procedures  enumerated below, which were agreed to by Bank
United (the "Bank"),  solely to assist you in evaluating  management's assertion
about the Bank's compliance with certain  procedures as set forth in the Uniform
Single  Attestation  Program for Mortgage Bankers (the "Program")  applicable to
servicing  functions  performed  by the Bank as  master  servicer  under  master
servicing  arrangements for those mortgage loans included in the United Mortgage
Securities Corporation Conduit Mortgage  Certificates,  Series 1993-1 and Series
1994-1 (the  "Certificates")  as of and for the year ended  September  30, 1998,
included in the  Management's  Representation  Letter,  dated  October 21, 1998,
furnished  to us.  This  agreed-upon  procedures  engagement  was  performed  in
accordance  with standards  established  by the American  Institute of Certified
Public   Accountants.   The   sufficiency   of  the  procedures  is  solely  the
responsibility  of the specified users of the report.  Consequently,  we make no
representation  regarding the  sufficiency  of the  procedures  described  below
either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other
purpose.

The extent and nature of the tests we performed relating to those mortgage loans
included in the Certificates were limited to the Program's procedures summarized
as follows:

Program
Reference                Extent and Nature of Related Procedure(s) Performed


Item I
We obtained and inspected a representative  sample of 25 bank reconciliations of
the  custodial  bank  accounts.   Confirmations  of  the  balances,  as  of  the
reconciliation date, were obtained directly from the depository institution.

Item II
We selected a sample of 25 cash receipts  reports and agreed total cash receipts
from the cash receipts reports to the related bank statements.

We compared individual items comprising the cash receipts from the cash receipts
reports to the Bank's records and found them to be in agreement.

We compared the cash receipt and bank deposit dates and noted no delays  greater
than two days.

We  recalculated  the allocation of mortgagor  payments using  appropriate  loan
records.

(logo)


Item III
We selected a sample of 25 cash disbursement reports (investor  remittances) and
agreed total cash  disbursements  from the investor  remittances  to the related
bank wire transfer reports/bank statements.

Item IV
For  investors'  funds that are  commingled  with those of the Bank and/or other
investors  in  a  general  custodial  bank  account,   either  for  receipts  or
disbursements,  we noted that the  accounts  are in the name of the Bank for the
benefit of the  investors.  Additionally,  we noted that the  accounts  had been
reconciled and agreed the totals on the reconciliations to the bank statements.

Item V(1)
We requested  confirmation of mortgage balances from a statistical  sample of
borrowers designed to achieve a 90% confidence,  5% precision rate and one
expected deviation.

Item VI
With  respect  to  selected  delinquent  accounts,  we  inspected  25 reports to
investors for indications that the required disclosures, if any, have been made.

Item VII
We  inspected  the Bank's  fidelity  bond and errors  and  omissions  policy and
confirmed the coverages and amounts with the insurance  career.  We compared the
amount of coverage to the  requirements  of  selected  investors  and found such
coverage to be sufficient.


In performing the procedures  enumerated above, no errors or exceptions relating
to those mortgage loans included in the Certificates came to our attention.

We were not engaged to, and did not,  perform an  examination,  the objective of
which  would  be  the  expression  of an  opinion  on  rnanagement's  assertion.
Accordingly,  we do not express  such an opinion.  Had we  performed  additional
procedures,  other matters might have come to our attention that would have been
reported to you.

This  report  is  intended  solely  for the use of the  Board of  Directors  and
management  of the Bank and others  for whom the Bank  services  mortgage  loans
included in the Certificates and should not be used by those who have not agreed
to the procedures and taken responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures
for their purposes.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors Charter Bank:

We have examined management's assertion about Charter Bank's compliance with the
minimum  servicing  standards set forth in the Mortgage  Bankers  Association of
America's Uniform Single  Attestation  Program for Mortgage Bankers (USAP) as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1998 included in the accompanying management
assertion.  Management is responsible  for Charter Bank's  compliance with those
minimum  servicing  standards.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on
management's assertion about Charter Bank's compliance based on our examination.

Our  examination  was  made in  accordance  with  standards  established  by the

EXHIBIT I

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.  For the existing  portfolio,  internal loan servicing files will be
recreated as necessary.  During 1998, the Company implemented imaging technology
which will substantially reduce loss of internal documents in the future.

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  controls  this process  through a weekly  review of loans  requiring
escrow analysis and feels the procedures provide proper control.  In some cases,
loans may be excluded from analysis for a period of time. For example,  analysis
is not conducted on loans 30 or more days delinquent.  Once cured, RESPA permits
60  additional  days for  completion of analysis.  In addition,  a "stop" can be
placed on a loan pending resolution or a customer research inquiry.
