              ----------------------------------------

The Annual Accounting Report discloses relevant Mortgage Pool information for 
each month of the current reporting year as well as aggregates of such infor-
mation for the reporting year.  The descriptions below refer primarily to 
the aggregate information which is located in the "Total" column on page two

sents the current year's aggregate principal installments applied to the 
Certificate Principal Balance.  The line "Unscheduled Principal Collections/
Reversals" represents partial prepayments of principal (curtailments) applied 
or reversed in the current year.  The line "Liquidations-in-Full" represents 
the proceeds of prepaid mortgage loans and foreclosed mortgage loans, as 
well as insurance proceeds applied to liquidate defaulted mortgage loans.  
The lines "Principal Balance Sale Adjustments" represent adjustments to 
original Certificate Principal Balances purchased by the Certificateholders 
resulting from incorrect data supplied by the Seller/Servicers at the Mortgage
Pool origination.  The line "Net Principal Distributed" represents the actual 
distribution to Certificateholders respecting principal applied to the Certi-
ficate Principal Balance.

"CAPITAL LOSS"

insurance proceeds on acquired property insufficient to cover the outstanding 
principal balance of the mortgage loan at the time of liquidation.

"SCHEDULED INTEREST AT MORTGAGE RATE"

installments at the pass-through rate due on the Certificate Principal 
Balance outstanding at the beginning of each fiscal month is shown under 
the appropriate column.  The actual amount of interest distributed for the 
current fiscal year after the rounding adjustment is shown in the "Total" 
column. 

"UNSCHEDULED INTEREST AT MORTGAGE RATE" 

Provides detailed information regarding interest collections or reversals 
other than the scheduled interest collections.  The line "Unscheduled 
Interest Collections/Reversals" represents interest collected or reversals 
of previous interest applications.  The lines "Interest Sale Adjustments"

ficate Principal Balance increased, or the Certificate Principal Balance 
decreased, as reported in Section B.  The line "Interest Accrual Adjustment"

cation of the partial prepayment of principal (curtailment) before the 
installment due in any one fiscal month during the current fiscal year.  
The line "Interest Uncollected on Liquidation" represents that portion of 
the accrued interest (based on a 30 day month) that was not collected as 
a result of a liquidation-in-full in the current fiscal year.  The line 
"Interest Uncollected on Non-Earning Assets" represents the interest accrued
but not collected as a result of a mortgage loan in a non-earning (non 
accruing) status.  The line "Net Unscheduled Interest Distributed" represents 
the actual distribution of unscheduled items to Certificateholders.

"OTHER"

                        [Ernst & Young LLP Letterhead]

              Report of Independent Auditors on Agreement With
                       U.S. Bank National Association


Audit Committee
PNC Bank Corp.

We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the consolidated balance sheet of PNC Bank Corp.  and subsidiaries (including
PNC Mortgage Securities Corp.  (PNCMSC)) as of December 31, 1997, and the 
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for the year then ended, and have issued our report thereon 
dated January 23, 1998.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements referred
to above, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that PNCMSC
failed to comply with the terms, covenants, provisions, or conditions of the
sections of the agreements between PNCMSC and U.S. Bank National Association 
(U.S. Bank), as listed for each series of certificates described in the
accompanying schedule, insofar as they relate to accounting matters.  However,
our audit of the consolidated financial statements was not directed primarily
toward obtaining knowledge of noncompliance.

This report is intended solely for use by the audit committee, management, and
U.S. Bank, acting as trustee or custodian, as applicable, and should not be used
for any other purpose.  However, this report may become a matter of public 
record as a result of being included as an exhibit to certain Form 10-Ks that
are prepared by PNCMSC and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 
behalf of the trusts that are established in connection with the series of 
certificates listed on the accompanying schedule.
