Incorporated,  as underwriters of the Certificates (the "Underwriters"),  have
prepared certain  materials (the "Derived  Materials") for distribution to its

background information regarding the Loans; the proposed structure;  decrement
tables;  or similar  information  (tabular  or  otherwise)  of a  statistical,
mathematical,  tabular or  computational  nature.  The Derived  Materials  are
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

         In  addition,  pursuant  to  Rule  411  of  Regulation  C  under  the
Securities  Act of 1933 and in reliance  on MBIA  Insurance  Corporation,  SEC
No-Action  Letter  (September  6,  1996),  the  Company  will  incorporate  by
