Trust consist primarily of a pool of fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgage
loans (the "Mortgage Loans") having an aggregate principal balance as of the
Cut-off Date of approximately $158,233,000. The Mortgage Loans are secured by
one- to four-family residential properties (each, a "Mortgaged Property").
Certificateholders receive monthly Statements to Certificateholders regarding
distributions.

     Further information with respect to the performance of the Trust is

Form 8-K.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
           MATTERS.

      (a)  The Registrant's Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1999-2 represent
           non-recourse obligations of the Trust, such Trust having assets which
           consist of the Mortgage Loans. Strictly speaking, Registrant has no
           "common equity," but for purposes of this Item only, Registrant's
           Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1999-2 are treated as "common
           equity."

           (i) Market Information.  There is no established public trading
               market for Registrant's Securities.

          (ii) Certificateholders. The approximate number of registered holders
               of  all classes of Certificates as of  February  29,  2000 was
               less than 50.

         (iii) 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 distributions to Certificateholders is provided
               in the monthly Statements to Certificateholders for each month of
               the fiscal year in which a distribution to Certificateholders was
               made,

          (iv) Sales of Unregistered  Securities.  One  class  R Certificate was
               retained  by  the Trustee.   The  other  Class  R Certificate was
               transferred to  Companion  Mortgage  Corporation  as  part of the
               consideration for its sale of the Mortgage Loans.  At the time of
               such   transfer,   Companion   Mortgage   Corporation   was    an
               institutional accredited investor.

      (b) Not applicable.

ITEM 6.    SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

     Not Applicable. Because of the limited activities of the Trust, information
with respect to the performance of the Trust is summarized in the monthly
Statements to Certificateholders, which are filed on a monthly basis on Form
8-K. However, certain selected aggregate information with respect to the Trust
for 1999 is filed as an exhibit to this report.

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
not meaningful in light of the nature of the Trust. Information concerning the
Mortgage Loans and distributions to the Certificateholders is contained in the
monthly Statements to Certificateholders which are filed on Form 8-K.


<PAGE>

ITEM 7A.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.

     Not applicable. The Trust does not engage in the types of transactions
required to be disclosed under this Item.

ITEM 8.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

     Not Applicable. Information with respect to the Trust is contained in the
monthly Statements to Certificateholders filed on a monthly basis on Form 8-K.

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.

ITEM 11.   EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

     Not Applicable. The Trust does not have officers or directors to whom
compensation needs to be paid.

ITEM 12.   SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

     (a)  Security  ownership of certain  beneficial  owners.  Not  Applicable.
          Under the Pooling and Servicing  Agreement  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.

     (b)  Security ownership of management.  Not Applicable. The Trust does not
          have any officers or directors.

     (c)  Changes in control.  Not Applicable.  Because Certificateholders do
          not possess, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause
          the direction of the management and policies of the Trust, other
          than with respect to certain required consents to amendments to the
          Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the ability to act as a group
          in the event of the occurrence of certain events which if
          continuing would constitute events of default under the Pooling and
          Servicing Agreement, the information requested with respect to Item
          403(c) of Regulation S-K is inapplicable.

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

     Not Applicable. The Trust does not have officers or directors and under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement governing the Trust. In addition, the Registrant
does not have knowledge of any transaction required to be disclosed by Items
404(a)(3) or (a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

                        Report of Independent Accountants


Board of Directors
Provident Financial Group, Inc.

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying report
titled Report of Management, that The Provident Bank (Provident) 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, 1999. Management is responsible for Provident's
compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on management's assertion about Provident'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 Bank'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
Provident's compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that Provident complied with the
aforementioned requirements during the year ended December 31, 1999, is fairly
stated, in all material respects.
