information has been prepared in connection with the issuance of securities
representing interests in the above trust, and is based in part on information
provided by The CIT Group/Consumer Finance Inc. with respect to the expected
characteristics of the pool of closed-end mortgage loans in which these
securities will represent undivided beneficial interests. The actual
characteristics and performance of the closed-end mortgage loans will differ
from the assumptions used in preparing these materials, which are hypothetical
in nature. Changes in the assumptions may have a material impact on the
information set forth in these materials. No representation is made that any
performance or return indicated herein will be achieved. For example, it is very
unlikely that closed-end mortgage loans will prepay at a constant rate or follow
a predictable pattern. This information may not be used or otherwise
disseminated in connection with the offer or sale of these or any other
securities, except in connection with the initial offer or sale of these

     These materials do not constitute an offer to buy or sell or a solicitation
of an offer to buy or sell any security or instrument or to participate in any
particular trading strategy. ANY SUCH OFFER TO BUY OR SELL ANY SECURITY WOULD BE
MADE PURSUANT TO A DEFINITIVE PROSPECTUS AND PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT PREPARED BY
THE ISSUER WHICH WOULD CONTAIN MATERIAL INFORMATION NOT CONTAINED IN THESE
MATERIALS. SUCH PROSPECTUS AND PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT WILL CONTAIN ALL MATERIAL
INFORMATION IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH SECURITY OFFERED THEREBY AND ANY DECISION TO
INVEST IN SUCH SECURITIES SHOULD BE MADE SOLELY IN RELIANCE UPON SUCH PROSPECTUS
AND PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT. ANY CAPITALIZED TERMS USED BUT NOT DEFINED HEREIN ARE

CIT 1997-1 Collateral Description

The collateral pool will consist of a combination of first and junior lien home
equity loans. These loans are predominantly used by borrowers to consolidate
debt, to refinance an existing mortgage loan on more favorable terms, or to
obtain cash proceeds by borrowing against the homeowner's equity in the related
mortgage property. Approximately 55% of the home equity loans have prepayment
penalties in force to the maximum allowable on a state-by-state basis.

Note: (1) Prepayment scenarios are quoted as a percentage of the prepayment
assumption "PPC" (a 100% PPC prepayment assumption has prepayments starting at
4.0% CPR in month 1, increasing by approximately 1.455% CPR per month to 20% CPR
in month 12, and remaining at 20% CPR thereafter), with regard to the fixed rate
group. The fixed rate group assumes 100% PPC.

assumption "PPC" (a 100% PPC prepayment assumption has prepayments starting at
4.0% CPR in month 1, increasing by approximately 1.455% CPR per month to 20% CPR
in month 12, and remaining at 20% CPR thereafter), with regard to the fixed rate

CIT 1997-1 Collateral Description

The collateral pool will consist of a combination of first and junior lien home
equity loans. These loans are predominantly used by borrowers to consolidate
debt, to refinance an existing mortgage loan on more favorable terms, or to
obtain cash proceeds by borrowing against the homeowner's equity in the related
mortgage property. Approximately 55% of the home equity loans have prepayment
penalties in force to the maximum allowable on a state-by-state basis.

4.0% CPR in month 1, increasing by approximately 1.455% CPR per month to 20% CPR
in month 12, and remaining at 20% CPR thereafter), with regard to the fixed rate
group. The fixed rate group assumes 100% PPC.

Note: (1) prepayment scenarios are quoted as a percentage of the prepayment
assumption "PPC" (a 100% PPC prepayment assumption has prepayments starting at
4.0% CPR in month 1, increasing by approximately 1.455% CPR per month to 20% CPR
in month 12, and remaining at 20% CPR thereafter), with regard to the fixed rate
group. The fixed rate group assumes 100% PPC.

characteristics  of the  pool  of  closed-end  mortgage  loans  in  which  these
securities   will  represent   undivided   beneficial   interests.   The  actual
characteristics  and  performance of the  closed-end  mortgage loans will differ

assumption "PPC" (a 100% PPC prepayment assumption has prepayments starting at
4.0% CPR in month 1, increasing by approximately 1.455% CPR per month to 20% CPR
in month 12, and remaining at 20% CPR thereafter), with regard to the fixed rate
group. The fixed rate group assumes 100% PPC.

This information has been prepared in connection with the issuance of securities
representing  interests in the above trust,  and is based in part on information
provided by The CIT  Group/Consumer  Finance  Inc.  with respect to the expected
characteristics  of the  pool  of  closed-end  mortgage  loans  in  which  these
securities   will  represent   undivided   beneficial   interests.   The  actual
characteristics  and  performance of the  closed-end  mortgage loans will differ
from the assumptions used in preparing these  materials,  which are hypothetical
in  nature.  Changes  in the  assumptions  may  have a  material  impact  on the
information set forth in these  materials.  No  representation  is made that any
performance or return indicated herein will be achieved. For example, it is very
unlikely that closed-end mortgage loans will prepay at a constant rate or follow
a  predictable   pattern.   This  information  may  not  be  used  or  otherwise
disseminated  in  connection  with  the  offer  or sale of  these  or any  other

solicitation  of an  offer  to buy or sell  any  security  or  instrument  or to
participate in any particular  trading  strategy.  ANY SUCH OFFER TO BUY OR SELL
ANY SECURITY  WOULD BE MADE PURSUANT TO A DEFINITIVE  PROSPECTUS  AND PROSPECTUS
SUPPLEMENT  PREPARED BY THE ISSUER WHICH WOULD CONTAIN MATERIAL  INFORMATION NOT
CONTAINED IN THESE  MATERIALS.  SUCH  PROSPECTUS AND PROSPECTUS  SUPPLEMENT WILL
