1998 with respect to its Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,

March 31, 1999. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the
Certificates were issued requires the Trustee to file the Form 10-K on
behalf of the Registrant. The Trustee was informed on April 1, 1999 that
the Report on Form 10-K with respect to the Certificates, which Report was
submitted for filing on March 31, 1999, was not accepted for filing due to
matters relating to the CIK Code assigned to the Registrant. The Trustee
is investigating this matters. The Trustee on behalf of the Registrant
will make best efforts to resolve the situation and have the Report on Form
10-K accepted for filing on or before the 15th calendar day following the
prescribed due date.
