     * It has been the  Company's  experience  that,  with  respect to the first
Distribution  Date after the  closing  of a  securitization  containing  a large
number of recently originated or acquired Mortgage Loans, the number of Mortgage
Loans 30-59 days delinquent may be inflated due to the borrowers sending monthly
payments  to the wrong  location  or  delays by the  Company  in  inputting  the
Mortgage  Loans  on  its  servicing  system.  It has  also  been  the  Company's
experience  that  for the  majority  of  such  Mortgage  Loans  the  routing  of
borrowers'  monthly  payments has  corrected  itself by the second  Distribution
Date.  However,  the Company  makes no  assurances as to the level of delinquent
Mortgage Loans for future Distribution Dates.

     * Due to a large  servicing  transfer  in  September  1997,  the  number of
 Mortgage Loans 30-59 days  delinquent may be inflated due to borrowers  sending
 monthly  paymnets to the wrong  location  or delays by the Company  loading the
 Mortgage  Loans  on its  servicing  system.  It has  also  been  the  Company's
 experience  that  for the  majority  of such  Mortgage  Loans  the  routing  of
 borrowers'  monthly  payments has corrected  itself by the second  Distribution
 Date after transfer.  However,  the Company makes no assurances as to the level
 of delinquent Mortgage Loans for future Distribution Dates.

     * It has been the  Company's  experience  that,  with  respect to the first
Distribution  Date after the  closing  of a  securitization  containing  a large
number of recently originated or acquired Mortgage Loans, the number of Mortgage
Loans 30-59 days delinquent may be inflated due to the borrowers sending monthly
payments  to the wrong  location  or  delays by the  Company  in  inputting  the
Mortgage  Loans  on  its  servicing  system.  It has  also  been  the  Company's
experience  that  for the  majority  of  such  Mortgage  Loans  the  routing  of
borrowers'  monthly  payments has  corrected  itself by the second  Distribution
Date.  However,  the Company  makes no  assurances as to the level of delinquent
Mortgage Loans for future Distribution Dates.

     * It has been the  Company's  experience  that,  with  respect to the first
Distribution  Date after the  closing  of a  securitization  containing  a large
number of recently originated or acquired Mortgage Loans, the number of Mortgage
Loans 30-59 days delinquent may be inflated due to the borrowers sending monthly
payments  to the wrong  location  or  delays by the  Company  in  inputting  the
Mortgage  Loans  on  its  servicing  system.  It has  also  been  the  Company's
experience  that  for the  majority  of  such  Mortgage  Loans  the  routing  of
borrowers'  monthly  payments has  corrected  itself by the second  Distribution
Date.  However,  the Company  makes no  assurances as to the level of delinquent
Mortgage Loans for future Distribution Dates.
