MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES, SERIES 1993-17
 
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYABLE MONTHLY, COMMENCING IN JULY 1997
 
VARIABLE RATE/1/ CLASS A-8 CERTIFICATES
/1/ ON THE CLASS A-8 NOTIONAL AMOUNT
 
                               -----------------
 
The Series 1993-17 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (the "Series 1993-17
Certificates") are the Series 1993-17 Certificates described in the
accompanying Prospectus Supplement dated April 20, 1993 (the "Prospectus
Supplement") and the accompanying Prospectus dated April 8, 1993 (the
"Prospectus"). The Series 1993-17 Certificates consist of one class of senior
certificates (the "Class A Certificates") and two classes of subordinated
certificates (the "Class M Certificates" and the "Class B Certificates,"
respectively). The Class A Certificates consist of nine subclasses (each a
"Subclass") of Certificates designated as the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3,
Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6, Class A-7, Class A-8 and Class A-R
Certificates. The Class M Certificates are not divided into subclasses. The
Class B Certificates consist of four subclasses of Certificates designated as
the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3 and Class B-4 Certificates. Only the Class
A-8 Certificates are being offered hereby. The Series 1993-17 Certificates
evidence in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust
fund (the "Trust Estate") established by The Prudential Home Mortgage
Securities Company, Inc. (the "Seller") and consisting of a pool of fixed
interest rate, conventional, monthly pay, one- to four-family, residential
first mortgage loans having original terms to stated maturity of either
approximately five or seven years, with a substantial balloon payment due on
the maturity date (the "Mortgage Loans"), together with certain related
property. See "Description of the Mortgage Loans" herein and in the Prospectus
Supplement. From the date of the initial issuance of the Series 1993-17
Certificates until May 7, 1996, the Mortgage Loans were serviced by The
Prudential Home Mortgage Company, Inc. ("PHMC"). From May 7, 1996 until May 30,
1997, PHMC continued to be the servicer of the Mortgage Loans under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, but the entity performing the actual servicing of the
Mortgage Loans was Norwest Mortgage, Inc. ("Norwest Mortgage"). On May 30,
1997, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement was sold to Glendale Federal Bank (in its capacity as servicer, the
"Servicer," otherwise "Glendale"), and although, as of the date of this
Supplement, Norwest Mortgage continues to subservice the Mortgage Loans, it is
anticipated that as a result of the sale, Norwest Mortgage will cease to
subservice the Mortgage Loans some months hereafter. See "Risk Factors--Recent
Developments--Sale of the Servicing' herein.
 
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS IN THE CLASS A-8 CERTIFICATES SHOULD CONSIDER THE FACTORS
DISCUSSED UNDER "RISK FACTORS" HEREIN BEGINNING ON PAGE S1-3.
 
The credit enhancement for the Series 1993-17 Certificates is provided through
the use of a "shifting interest" type subordination, which has the effect of
allocating all payments of balloon amounts, principal prepayments and other
unscheduled receipts of principal to the Class A Certificates until their
principal balance has been reduced to zero. See "Summary Information--Credit
Enhancement" and "--Effects of Prepayments on Investment Expectations,"
"Description of the Certificates" and "Prepayment and Yield Considerations" in
the Prospectus Supplement.
 
THE YIELD TO MATURITY OF THE CLASS A-8 CERTIFICATES WILL BE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO
THE RATE AND TIMING OF PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS (INCLUDING PREPAYMENTS) ON THE
MORTGAGE LOANS, WHICH MAY BE PREPAID AT ANY TIME WITHOUT PENALTY. INVESTORS
SHOULD CONSIDER THE ASSOCIATED RISKS THAT A FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED RATE OF
PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS (INCLUDING PREPAYMENTS) ON THE MORTGAGE LOANS, PARTICULARLY
THOSE MORTGAGE LOANS WITH HIGHER RATES OF INTEREST, COULD RESULT IN AN ACTUAL
YIELD THAT IS LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED AND COULD RESULT IN THE FAILURE OF
INVESTORS TO FULLY RECOVER THEIR INITIAL INVESTMENTS. See "Risk Factors--Yield
Considerations" and "Sensitivity of the Pre-Tax Yield to Maturity and Weighted
Average Life of the Class A-8 Certificates" herein and "Description of the
Certificates--Principal (including Prepayments)" and "Prepayment and Yield
Considerations" in the Prospectus Supplement and in the Prospectus.

THESE SECURITIES DO NOT REPRESENT INTERESTS IN OR OBLIGATIONS OF THE PRUDENTIAL
HOME MORTGAGE SECURITIES COMPANY, INC. OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF. NEITHER THESE
SECURITIES NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS WILL BE INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY

                               -----------------
 
The Class A-8 Certificates will be purchased from the Seller by Salomon
Brothers Inc (the "Underwriter"), and will be offered by the Underwriter and
also by Lazard Freres & Co. LLC (the "Dealer") from time to time in negotiated
transactions or otherwise at varying prices to be determined at the time of
sale. Proceeds to the Seller are expected to be approximately 1.28% of the Pool
Scheduled Principal Balance as of the Distribution Date in July 1997 without
giving effect to partial principal prepayments or partial liquidation proceeds
received on or after the Determination Date in June 1997, plus accrued interest
from June 1, 1997 to (but not including) June 20, 1997, before deducting
expenses payable by the Seller estimated to be $75,000. See "Underwriting"
herein.
 
The Class A-8 Certificates are offered by the Underwriter and the Dealer when,
as and if delivered to and accepted by the Underwriter, subject to prior sale,
withdrawal or modification of the offer without notice, the approval of counsel
and other conditions. It is expected that the Class A-8 Certificates will be
available for delivery at the offices of Salomon Brothers Inc, Seven World
Trade Center, New York, New York 10048 on or about June 20, 1997.

(Continued from previous page)
 
The Class A-8 Certificates are generally not appropriate investments for
individual investors.The Class A-8 Certificates are offered in the minimum
denominations described herein under "Description of the Certificates." The
Class A-8 Certificates are not to be directly or indirectly held or
beneficially owned in amounts lower than such minimum denominations.
 
There is currently no secondary market for the Class A-8 Certificates and there
can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop or, if it does
develop, that it will provide Certificateholders with liquidity of investment
at any particular time or for the life of the Class A-8 Certificates. The
Underwriter intends to act as a market maker in the Class A-8 Certificates,
subject to applicable provisions of federal and state securities laws and other
regulatory requirements, but is under no obligation to do so and any such
market making may be discontinued at any time. There can be no assurance that
any investor will be able to sell a Class A-8 Certificate at a price equal to
or greater than the price at which such Certificate was purchased.
 
Distributions in respect of interest and of principal are made on the 25th day
of each month or the next succeeding business day to the holders of record of
the Class A-8 Certificates on the last business day of the preceding month, to
the extent that their allocable portion of the Pool Distribution Amount (as
defined in the Prospectus Supplement) is sufficient therefor. On each
Distribution Date (as defined herein), to the extent funds are available
therefor, the amount of interest distributed in respect of the Class A-8
Certificates will equal the interest accrued during the applicable month.
Interest will accrue monthly on the Class A-8 Certificates at a per annum rate
equal to the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Interest Rates (as defined
herein) of the Mortgage Loans as of the first day of such period minus 6.50% on
the Class A-8 Notional Amount (as defined herein), less any Non-Supported
Interest Shortfall (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) and the interest
portion of certain other losses allocable to the Class A-8 Certificates as
described in the Prospectus Supplement under "Description of the Certificates--
Interest." The Class A Subclass Principal Balance of the Class A-8 Certificates
as of the Determination Date in June 1997 is expected to be approximately $442.
The Class A Subclass Principal Balance as of the Determination Date in July
1997 will be equal to such balance as of the Determination Date in June 1997
reduced by the amount of distributions or other reductions of principal on the
Distribution Date in June 1997. Distributions in reduction of the principal
balance of the Class A Certificates will be made monthly on each Distribution
Date in an aggregate amount equal to the Class A Principal Distribution Amount
(as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) to the extent funds are available
therefor. Distributions in reduction of the principal balance of the Class A
Certificates each month will be allocated among the Subclasses of Class A
Certificates, including the Class A-8 Certificates, in the manner described in
the Prospectus Supplement under "Description of the Certificates--Principal
(including Prepayments)." Distributions to the Class A-8 Certificates will be
made pro rata among Certificateholders of such Subclass.
 
This Supplement does not contain complete information regarding the Class A-8
Certificates and should be read only in conjunction with the Prospectus
Supplement and the Prospectus. Sales of the Class A-8 Certificates may not be
consummated unless the purchaser has received this Supplement, the Prospectus
Supplement and the Prospectus. Capitalized terms used herein that are not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Prospectus
Supplement or the Prospectus, as applicable.

                                    GENERAL
 
  The following is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed
information appearing in the Prospectus Supplement and in the Prospectus, both
of which should be read in conjunction with this Supplement. Capitalized terms
used in this Supplement and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
assigned in the Prospectus Supplement or in the Prospectus. See "Index of
Significant Prospectus Supplement Definitions" in the Prospectus Supplement and
"Index of Significant Definitions" in the Prospectus.
 
  The Series 1993-17 Certificates were issued on April 27, 1993. The Class A-8
Certificates were not offered to the public at the time of the issuance of the
Series 1993-17 Certificates.
 
                                  RISK FACTORS
 
YIELD CONSIDERATIONS
 
  The yield to maturity of the Class A-8 Certificates will be directly related
to the rate of payments of principal on the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate,
particularly with respect to those Mortgage Loans with higher rates of
interest. The rate of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans will in turn be
affected by the amortization schedules of the Mortgage Loans, the rate of
principal prepayments (including partial prepayments and those resulting from
refinancing) thereon by mortgagors, liquidations of defaulted Mortgage Loans,
repurchases by the Seller of Mortgage Loans as a result of defective
documentation or breaches of representations and warranties, optional
repurchase by the Seller of defaulted Mortgage Loans and optional purchase by
the Servicer of all of the Mortgage Loans in connection with the termination of
the Trust Estate. See "Description of the Mortgage Loans--Optional Repurchase
of Defaulted Mortgage Loans" and "Pooling and Servicing Agreement--Optional
Termination" in the Prospectus Supplement and "The Trust Estates--Mortgage
Loans--Assignment of Mortgage Loans to the Trustee," "--Optional Repurchases"
and "The Pooling and Servicing Agreement--Termination; Purchase of Mortgage
Loans" in the Prospectus. Mortgagors are permitted to prepay the Mortgage
Loans, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.
 
  The rate of payments (including prepayments) on pools of mortgage loans is
influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors. If
prevailing rates for similar mortgage loans fall below the Mortgage Interest
Rates on the Mortgage Loans, the rate of prepayment would generally be expected
to increase. Conversely, if interest rates on similar mortgage loans rise above
the Mortgage Interest Rates on the Mortgage Loans, the rate of prepayment would
generally be expected to decrease. In general, mortgagors may be expected to
refinance mortgage loans with mortgage interest rates higher than the then-
current mortgage interest rates on mortgage loans. The rate of prepayment of
Balloon Loans may be affected by interest rates and other factors differently
than mortgage loans generally.
 
  The yield to maturity on the Class A-8 Certificates may be affected by the
geographic concentration of the mortgaged properties securing the Mortgage
Loans. As of May 16, 1997, approximately 78.27% of the Aggregate Unpaid
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans was secured by Mortgaged Properties
located in California. In recent periods, California, the New York metropolitan
area, the mid-Atlantic region and several other regions in the United States
have experienced significant declines in housing prices at varying times and
adverse changes in economic conditions. In addition, California and several
other regions have experienced natural disasters, including earthquakes,
floods, wildfires and hurricanes, which may have damaged properties and
otherwise adversely affected property values and therefore the ability of
mortgagors to refinance and pay Balloon Amounts. Any deterioration in housing
prices in California and the other states in which Mortgaged Properties are
located, and any deterioration of economic conditions in states which adversely
affects
 
 
                                      S1-3
<PAGE>
 
the ability of borrowers to make payments on the Mortgage Loans or obtain
refinancing, may increase the frequency of delinquencies and the likelihood and
amount of losses on the Mortgage Loans. In addition, the failure by a mortgagor
to have refinanced a Balloon Loan, particularly as the date on which the
Balloon Amount is due approaches or when the spread between the mortgage
interest rate on the Balloon Loan and the current market rate for new mortgage
loans is relatively large, is likely to be indicative of some impediment to the
ability to obtain refinancing, such as a decline in property value (including,
without limitation, a decline due to property damage arising from the
Earthquake or other natural disaster), an adverse change in the
creditworthiness of the mortgagor or otherwise. To the extent that the
mortgagor's inability to refinance is due to a decline in the value of the
Mortgaged Property, it is more likely that losses will ensue if the Mortgage
Loan is liquidated following the date on which the Balloon Amount is due.
Losses of the type described in this paragraph, if they occur, may increase the
likelihood of liquidations and prepayments which may have an adverse effect on
the yield to maturity of the Class A-8 Certificates.
 
  AN INVESTOR THAT PURCHASES CLASS A-8 CERTIFICATES, WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO BE
OFFERED AT A SUBSTANTIAL PREMIUM, SHOULD CONSIDER THE RISK THAT A FASTER THAN
ANTICIPATED RATE OF PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS ON THE MORTGAGE LOANS WILL RESULT IN AN
ACTUAL YIELD THAT IS LOWER THAN SUCH INVESTOR'S EXPECTED YIELD AND MAY RESULT
IN THE FAILURE OF SUCH INVESTOR TO FULLY RECOVER ITS INITIAL INVESTMENT.
 
  For a more detailed discussion of prepayment and yield considerations with
respect to the Class A-8 Certificates, see "Sensitivity of the Pre-Tax Yield to
Maturity and Weighted Average Life of the Class A-8 Certificates" herein and
"Prepayment and Yield Considerations" in the Prospectus Supplement.
 
DELINQUENT, FORECLOSED AND REO MORTGAGE LOANS
 
  As of May 16, 1997, the Trust Estate included certain Mortgage Loans with
respect to which payments were past due more than 30 days, Mortgage Loans for
which foreclosure proceedings have been instituted and REO Mortgage Loans. See
"Description of the Mortgage Loans" herein.
 
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
 Sale of the Servicing
 
  On May 7, 1996, Norwest Mortgage and certain affiliated companies acquired
all of the mortgage origination, servicing and secondary marketing operations
of PHMC, and Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association ("Norwest Bank")
acquired substantially all of the assets of PHMC Services Corporation (formerly
known as Securitized Asset Services Corporation) and succeeded to substantially
all of the obligations of PHMC Services Corporation (the "Asset Acquisition").
As a consequence of that transaction, PHMC effectively exited the mortgage loan
origination and servicing business. PHMC retained its right to service the
mortgage loans, including the Mortgage Loans, underlying mortgage pass-through
certificates created by the Seller pursuant to various pooling and servicing
agreements, including the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Retained
Servicing"), but announced its intention to sell such servicing as
expeditiously as possible (such rights, duties and obligations under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the "Servicing").
 
  Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans
may assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations, and be released
from its duties and obligations, if (i) the purchaser or transferee is
qualified to service mortgage loans for the Federal National Mortgage
Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, is satisfactory to
the Trustee in the reasonable exercise of its judgment and executes and
delivers to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, assuming the due and punctual performance and
observance of each covenant and condition to be performed by the Servicer under
the Pooling
 
 
                                      S1-4
<PAGE>
 
and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) each Rating Agency's rating of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to the assignment, sale or transfer
would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not
be placed on credit review status as a result of such assignment, sale or
transfer.
 
  The conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for assignment, sale
and transfer of the Servicing by PHMC to Citicorp Mortgage, Inc. ("CMI") were
met and, on May 30, 1997, PHMC sold to CMI, and CMI assumed, PHMC's rights,
duties and obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller
has been advised that such conditions were also met for the assignment, sale
and transfer of the Servicing by CMI to Glendale and, on May 30, 1997,
contemporaneously with its purchase of the Servicing from PHMC, CMI assigned,
sold and transferred its rights, duties and obligations under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement to Glendale.
 
  Since May 7, 1996, the Mortgage Loans have been subserviced for PHMC by
Norwest Mortgage pursuant to a subservicing agreement (the "Subservicing
Agreement") among PHMC, The Prudential Insurance Company of America
("Prudential Insurance") and Norwest Mortgage under which Norwest Mortgage
agreed to perform all of PHMC's duties and obligations as mortgage loan
servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement other than certain duties
with respect to the administration and disposition of real estate acquired in
foreclosure, which duties were performed for PHMC by Prudential Residential
Services, Limited Partnership, an affiliate of PHMC, pursuant to a Servicing
and Subservicing Asset Recovery Agreement (the "PRS Agreement"). On May 30,
1997, CMI assumed the rights, duties and obligations of PHMC under the
Subservicing Agreement and the PRS Agreement with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. PHMSC has been advised that the Mortgage Loans are expected to be
subserviced by Norwest Mortgage pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement until at
least September, 1997; however, there can be no assurance of the date on which
Glendale will begin performing the direct servicing functions with respect to
the Mortgage Loans nor that Glendale will service the Mortgage Loans in a
manner identical to that of PHMC prior to May 7, 1996 or Norwest Mortgage from
May 7, 1996 to the date of the transfer of the direct servicing function. The
Mortgage Loans are required to be serviced in accordance with the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
 
 Recent Litigation
 
  In January 1997, the Seller, PHMC and others were served with a complaint in
a purported class action filed on November 18, 1996 in the Superior Court of
New Jersey, Essex County Law Division. The Capitol Life Insurance Co. v. The
Prudential Insurance Co. of America et al. Esx-L-13045-96. On March 26, 1997,
PHMC and others filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a
claim on which relief can be granted. On June 2, 1997, an amended complaint was
filed, and American Investors Life Insurance Company joined The Capitol Life
Insurance Company as a named plaintiff in the action. As amended, the complaint
asserts claims against the Seller, PHMC, certain of their present and former
affiliates and certain former employees as well as Merrill Lynch & Co., Kidder,
Peabody & Co., Incorporated, Lehman Brothers Inc. and Salomon Brothers Inc for
common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, violations of the New Jersey
RICO statute, violations of the New Jersey securities statute and negligence
arising out of the plaintiffs' purchase of Prudential Home Thirty-Year Mortgage
Trust 1992-A, Subordinated Mortgage Securities, Series 1992-A (the
"Securities") and seeks compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive
relief. PHMC originated or acquired the mortgage loans in the underlying trust
funds for the Securities and serviced the mortgage loans until May 7, 1996. The
complaint alleges that the defendants misrepresented and concealed material
facts relating to the quality and likely performance of the Securities,
including among other things the selection of assets underlying the Securities,
financial models and projections used, default and loss experience, sufficiency
of credit support, loan-to-value ratios, quality of the underwriting standards,
ability to affect the existence, timing, amount and reporting of defaults and
losses, and payment terms. PHMC, the Seller and affiliated defendants are
vigorously defending the lawsuit. The case is at a preliminary stage, and PHMC
is not now in a position to predict the outcome or effect of the litigation.

                             ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
  Norwest Mortgage currently offers by subscription detailed mortgage loan
information in machine readable format updated on a monthly basis (the
"Detailed Information") with respect to each outstanding series of mortgage
certificates issued by trusts formed by the Seller, including the Series 1993-
17 Certificates. The Detailed Information reflects payments made on the
individual mortgage loans, including prepayments in full and in part made on
such mortgage loans, as well as the liquidation of any such mortgage loans, and
identifies various characteristics of the mortgage loans. Among the subscribers
of the Detailed Information are a number of major investments brokerage firms
as well as financial information service firms. Some of such firms, including
certain investments brokerage firms as well as Bloomberg L.P. through the "The
Bloomberg(R)" service and Merrill Lynch Mortgage Capital Inc. through the "CMO
Passport(R)" service, may, in accordance with their individual business
practices and fee schedules, if any, make portions of, or summaries of portions
of, the Detailed Information available to their customers and subscribers. The
Seller, PHMC, the Servicer and any affiliates thereof and Norwest Mortgage take
no responsibility for the actions of such firms in processing, analyzing or
disseminating such information.
 
                        DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES
 
  The Class A-8 Certificates will be offered in fully registered, certificated
form in minimum denominations of $83,034,000 initial Class A-8 Notional Amount
and integral multiples of $1 initial Class A-8 Notional Amount in excess
thereof, except that one Certificate may be issued in any denomination in
excess of $83,034,000 initial Class A-8 Notional Amount. The Class A Subclass
Principal Balance of the Class A-8 Certificates as of the Determination Date in
June 1997 is expected to be approximately $442. The Class A Subclass Principal
Balance as of the Determination Date in July 1997 will be equal to such balance
as of the Determination Date in June 1997 reduced by the amount of
distributions or other reductions of principal on the Distribution Date in June
1997.
 
  Distributions of interest and in reduction of principal balance to holders of
Class A-8 Certificates will be made monthly, to the extent of such Subclass's
entitlement thereto, and to the extent funds are available therefor, on the
25th day of each month or, if such day is not a business day, on the succeeding
business day (each, a "Distribution Date"), beginning in July 1997.
 
  Distributions (other than the final distribution in retirement of the Class
A-8 Certificates, as described in the Prospectus Supplement) will be made by
check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register. However, with respect to any holder of Class A-8
Certificates evidencing at least a 25% Percentage Interest, distributions will
be made on the Distribution Date by wire transfer in immediately available
funds, provided that the Servicer, or the paying agent acting on behalf of the
Servicer, shall have been furnished with appropriate wiring instructions not
less than seven business days prior to the related Distribution Date.
 
  The Class A-8 Certificates will be entitled to a distribution in respect of
interest each month in an amount up to such Subclass's Class A Subclass
Interest Accrual Amount. The Class A Subclass Interest Accrual Amount for the
Class A-8 Certificates will equal the product of (i) 1/12th of the difference
between (a) the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Interest Rates of the
Mortgage Loans (based on the Scheduled Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans
as of such Distribution Date) and (b) 6.50% and (ii) the Class A-8 Notional
Amount.
 
  The Class A Subclass Interest Accrual Amount for the Class A-8 Certificates
will be reduced by the portion of (i) any Non-Supported Interest Shortfall
allocable to such Subclass and (ii) the interest portion of Excess Special
Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses and Excess Bankruptcy Losses allocable to
such Subclass as described under "Description of the Certificates--Interest" in
the Prospectus Supplement.
 
 
                                      S1-6
<PAGE>
 
  The "Net Mortgage Interest Rate" on each Mortgage Loan is equal to the
Mortgage Interest Rate on such Mortgage Loan as stated in the related Mortgage
Note minus the Servicing Fee rate of 0.20% per annum. See "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement--Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses" in the
Prospectus Supplement.
 
  The "Class A-8 Notional Amount" with respect to each Distribution Date will
be equal to the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance, as defined under "Description
of the Certificates--Principal (Including Prepayments)" in the Prospectus
Supplement, as of such Distribution Date. The Class A-8 Notional Amount with
respect to the Distribution Date in May 1997 was approximately $118,388,330.
The Class A-8 Notional Amount with respect to the Distribution Date in July
1997 will be equal to the Class A-8 Notional Amount with respect to the
Distribution Date in May 1997, less the difference between the Pool Scheduled
Principal Balance with respect to the Distribution Date in May 1997 and the
Pool Scheduled Principal Balance with respect to the Distribution Date in July
1997. The scheduled principal payments for June 1997, principal prepayments in
full occurring in May 1997 and partial principal prepayments and partial
liquidation proceeds received in May and June 1997 will reduce the Class A-8
Notional Amount with respect to the Distribution Date in July 1997. A notional
amount does not entitle a holder to receive
distributions of principal on the basis of such notional amount, but is solely
used for the purpose of computing the amount of interest accrued on a subclass.
The initial Class A-8 Notional Amount was approximately $249,103,774.
 
  The aggregate amount available for distribution on each Distribution Date
will be the Pool Distribution Amount. The Pool Distribution Amount will be
allocated among the Classes of Series 1993-17 Certificates as set forth in
"Description of the Certificates" in the Prospectus Supplement.
 
  The Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus contain significant additional
information concerning the characteristics of the Class A-8 Certificates.
Investors are urged to read "Description of the Certificates" in the Prospectus
Supplement and in the Prospectus.
 
                       DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
 
  Information with respect to the expected characteristics of the Mortgage
Loans as of April 1, 1993 is set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, which
contains substantial information relating to mortgage loans generally.
Investors are urged to read "Description of the Mortgage Loans" in the
Prospectus Supplement, such information being modified as set forth herein.
 
  As of May 16, 1997, the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Estate consisted of fixed
interest rate, conventional, monthly pay, one- to four-family, residential
first mortgage loans originated or acquired by PHMC for its own account or for
the account of an affiliate having original terms to stated maturity of either
approximately five to seven years, with a substantial balloon payment due on
the maturity date. The "Unpaid Principal Balance" of a Mortgage Loan as of May
16, 1997 is its unpaid principal balance as of such date assuming no
delinquencies and no prepayments in full between May 1, 1997 and May 16, 1997.
As of May 16, 1997, the Mortgage Loans included 391 promissory notes, having an
aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance (the "Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance")
of approximately $118,388,330, secured by first liens (the "Mortgages") on one-
to four-family residential properties (the "Mortgaged Properties"). However, as
of May 16, 1997, two of these Mortgage Loans having an aggregate Unpaid
Principal Balance of approximately $1,207,055 have been prepaid in full even
though these two Mortgage Loans and their Unpaid Principal Balances are
included in the following statistics and tables. The Mortgage Loans have the
additional characteristics described below and, except as modified herein, in
the Prospectus Supplement.
 
  As of May 16, 1997, 78 of the Mortgage Loans representing approximately
19.52% of the Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans had
original terms to stated maturity of approximately five years and 313 of the

Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans had original terms to
stated maturity of approximately seven years. However, in each case, the
Mortgage Loans provide for level monthly payments of principal and interest
based on a 30-year amortization schedule. Based on such amortization schedule,
a substantial principal payment will be due on each Mortgage Loan on its stated
maturity date. The full outstanding principal balance due and payable on any
Mortgage Loan's stated maturity date (other than the portion thereof, if any,
attributable to the delinquency of payments due prior to the stated maturity
date, and before taking into account the effect of any bankruptcy or similar
proceeding) is referred to herein as a "Balloon Amount." Each of the Mortgage
Loans provides for the accrual of interest on any unpaid portion of its Balloon
Amount which is not paid in full on the stated maturity date of such Mortgage
Loan.
 
  No Mortgage Loan is a Buy-Down Loan. See "The Trust Estates--Mortgage Loans"
in the Prospectus.
 
  Each of the Mortgage Loans is subject to a due-on-sale clause. See "Certain
Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loans--"Due-on-Sale' Clause," and "Servicing of
the Mortgage Loans--Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Realization Upon
Defaulted Mortgage Loans" in the Prospectus.
 
  As of May 16, 1997, two of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately
0.47% of the Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, were
Mortgage Loans originated in connection with the relocation of employees of
various corporate employers that participated in PHMC's relocation program and
of employees of various non-participant employers ("Relocation Mortgage
Loans").
 
  A small number of the Mortgage Loans may be Subsidy Loans. See "The Trust
Estates--Mortgage Loans" and "PHMC--Mortgage Loan Underwriting" in the
Prospectus.

  As of May 16, 1997, each Mortgage Loan had an Unpaid Principal Balance of not
less than $118,588 or more than $937,467, and the average Unpaid Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans was approximately $302,783. The latest stated
maturity date of any of the Mortgage Loans was February 1, 2001; however, the
actual date on which any Mortgage Loan is paid in full may be earlier than the
stated maturity date due to unscheduled payments of principal. Based on
information supplied by the mortgagors in connection with their loan
applications at origination, all of the Mortgaged Properties were owner
occupied primary residences. See "PHMC--Mortgage Loan Underwriting" in the
Prospectus.

  As of May 16, 1997, the minimum and maximum Loan-to-Value Ratios at
origination of the Mortgage Loans were 25.1% and 80.0%, respectively, and the
weighted average Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination of the Mortgage Loans was
approximately 70.6%. The Loan-to-Value Ratio of a Mortgage Loan is calculated
using the lesser of (i) the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property,
as established by an appraisal obtained by the originator from an appraiser in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) the sale price
for such property. In some instances, the Loan-to-Value Ratio may be based on
an appraisal that was obtained by the originator more than four months prior to
origination, provided that (i) a recertification of the original appraisal is
obtained and (ii) the original appraisal was obtained no more than twelve
months prior to origination. For the purpose of calculating the Loan-to-Value
Ratio of any Mortgage Loan that is the result of the refinancing (including a
refinancing for "equity take out" purposes) of an existing mortgage loan, the
appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property is generally determined by
reference to an appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the
replacement loan. There can be no assurance that the values determined by the
appraisers as of the dates of appraisal represent the prices at which the
related Mortgaged Properties can be sold, either as of the dates of appraisal
or at foreclosure. Further, there can be no assurance that the Loan-to-Value
Ratio at origination of any Mortgage Loan is representative of the ratio of the
Unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan to the value of the related
Mortgaged Property as of the date hereof. The Seller has taken no action to
establish the current value of any Mortgaged Property. See "PHMC--Mortgage Loan
Underwriting" in the Prospectus.

  Documentation levels, and the degree of review and evaluation of such
documents, vary depending upon several factors, including loan amount, Loan-to-
Value Ratio and the type and purpose of the Mortgage Loan. Asset, income and
mortgage verifications were obtained for Mortgage Loans processed with "full
documentation." In the case of "preferred processing," neither asset, income
nor mortgage verifications were obtained. In most instances, a verification of
the borrower's employment was obtained. However, for all of the Mortgage Loans,
a credit report on the borrower and a property appraisal were obtained. See

  In general, in the case of a Mortgage Loan made for "rate/term" refinance
purposes, substantially all of the proceeds are used to pay in full the
principal balance of a previous mortgage loan of the mortgagor with respect to
a Mortgaged Property and to pay origination and closing costs associated with
such refinancing. However, in the case of a Mortgage Loan made for "equity take
out" refinance purposes, all or a portion of the proceeds are generally
retained by the mortgagor for uses unrelated to the Mortgaged Property. The
amount of such proceeds retained by the mortgagor may be substantial. See "The
PHMC Mortgage Loan Underwriting" in the Prospectus.

(1) Reflects the number of delinquent Mortgage Loans and the actual unpaid
    principal balances of such Mortgage Loans based on information available to
    Norwest Mortgage, as subservicer, as of May 16, 1997.
(2) As of May 16, 1997.
 
The indicated periods of delinquency are based on the number of days past due,

  On January 17, 1994, southern California experienced an earthquake (the
"Earthquake"). Certain of the underlying Mortgaged Properties sustained damage,
which may have been substantial, as a result of the Earthquake. In addition,
certain mortgagors experienced interruptions or reductions in their incomes as
a result of the Earthquake. As a result of damage to the Mortgaged Property or
the interruption or reduction of income of the mortgagor because of the
Earthquake, PHMC, as servicer entered into modification agreements with certain
mortgagors extending the terms of the related mortgage notes by up to 12
months. Modification agreements resulting from damage to the Mortgaged Property
or the interruption or reduction of income of the mortgagor have been entered
into with respect to four Mortgage Loans having an aggregate Unpaid Principal
Balance of approximately $1,243,349 and representing approximately 1.05% of the
Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans. The modification
agreements were not conditioned on the repair of damaged property. In
connection with PHMC's entering into the modification agreements and in
connection with the foreclosure of certain delinquent Mortgage Loans, PHMC
obtained through one of several sources, certain materials that described the
condition of the Mortgaged Properties at that time. Such materials were not
current appraisals of the Mortgaged Properties and may not be indicative of the
actual extent of the damage sustained.
 
  Neither the Seller, PHMC, the Servicer nor Norwest Mortgage has undertaken
the physical inspection of any Mortgaged Properties. As a result, there can be
no assurance that material damage to any Mortgaged Property in a region
affected by a natural disaster has not occurred.
 
                     DELINQUENCY AND FORECLOSURE EXPERIENCE
 
  The following tables set forth certain information concerning recent
delinquency, foreclosure and loan loss experience, (i) on the conventional
mortgage loans included in various mortgage pools
 
 
                                     S1-14
<PAGE>
 
underlying all series of the Seller's mortgage pass-through certificates and
other mortgage loans owned by third parties (the "Program Loans"), (ii) on the
Program Loans which are fixed interest rate mortgage loans (the "Fixed Program
Loans"), including in both clause (i) and this clause (ii) Relocation Mortgage
Loans, (iii) on the Fixed Program Loans, other than Relocation Mortgage Loans
(the "Fixed Non-Relocation Program Loans") and (iv) on the Program Loans that
are Balloon Loans (the "Balloon Program Loans"). See "Description of the
Mortgage Loans" in the Prospectus Supplement and PHMC--General" and "--Mortgage
Loan Underwriting" and "Servicing of the Mortgage Loans" in the Prospectus. The
delinquency, foreclosure and loan loss experience represents the experience of
PHMC and The Prudential Mortgage Capital Company, Inc., an affiliate of PHMC
which serviced the Program Loans prior to June 30, 1989. There can be no
assurance that the delinquency, foreclosure and loan loss experience set forth
with respect to PHMC's total servicing portfolio of Program Loans, which
includes both fixed and adjustable interest rate mortgage loans and loans
having a variety of original terms to stated maturity including Relocation
Mortgage Loans and non-relocation mortgage loans, and PHMC's servicing
portfolios of Fixed Program Loans and Fixed Non-Relocation Program Loans, each
of which includes loans having a variety of payment characteristics such as
Subsidy Loans and Balloon Loans will be representative of the results that have
been or may be experienced with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
 
  Historically, Relocation Mortgage Loans have experienced a significantly
lower rate of delinquency and foreclosure than other mortgage loans included in
the portfolios of total Program Loans, Fixed Program Loans and Fixed Non-
Relocation Program Loans. There can be no assurance that the future experience
on the Mortgage Loans, all of which are Balloon Loans and approximately 0.47%
(by Aggregate Unpaid Principal Balance) are Relocation Mortgage Loans, will be
comparable to that of the total Program Loans, the Fixed Program Loans, the
Fixed Non-Relocation Program Loans or the Balloon Program Loans.
 
  The following tables reflect rapid growth during certain periods in PHMC's
mortgage loan servicing portfolio as a result of the substantially higher
volume of new loan originations and acquisitions of mortgage loans which were
originated at or shortly prior to the acquisition thereof. Delinquencies,
foreclosures and loan losses generally are expected to occur more frequently
after the first full year of the life of mortgage loans. Accordingly, because a
large number of mortgage loans which were serviced by PHMC prior to the Asset
Acquisition have been originated recently, the current level of delinquencies,
foreclosures and loan losses may not be representative of the levels which may
be experienced over the lives of such mortgage loans. In addition, because PHMC
ceased the mortgage loan origination and acquisition business subsequent to the
Asset Acquisition, the levels of delinquencies, foreclosures and loan losses as
percentages of PHMC's Retained Servicing portfolio prior to the Asset
Acquisition could rise significantly above the rates indicated in the following
tables.
 
  There can be no assurance that the future delinquency, foreclosure and loan
loss experience on the Mortgage Loans will be comparable to that experienced to
date. See "Risk Factors--Recent Developments--Sale of the Servicing" herein.

(1) The indicated periods of delinquency are based on the number of days past
    due, based on a 30-day month. No mortgage loan is considered delinquent for
    these purposes until one month has passed since its contractual due date. A
    mortgage loan is no longer considered delinquent once foreclosure
    proceedings have commenced.
(2) Includes loans in the applicable portfolio for which foreclosure
    proceedings had been instituted or with respect to which the related
    property had been acquired as of the dates indicated.
(3) Foreclosures as a percentage of total loans in the applicable portfolio at

                             HISTORICAL PREPAYMENTS
 
  The prepayment model used in the Prospectus Supplement is the Standard
Prepayment Assumption ("SPA"). See "Prepayment and Yield Considerations" in the
Prospectus Supplement. An alternative model is a conditional (also known as a
constant) prepayment rate ("CPR"). CPR represents a rate of payment of
unscheduled principal on mortgage loans, expressed as an annualized percentage
of the outstanding principal balance of such mortgage loans at the beginning of
each period. CPR does not purport to be a historical description of prepayment
experience or a prediction of the anticipated rate of prepayment of any pool of
mortgage loans, including the Mortgage Loans.
 
  The Series 1993-17 Certificates were issued on April 27, 1993. Set forth
below are the approximate prepayment rates as a percentage of CPR as of the
Distribution Dates occurring in the indicated months.

  The prepayment rates described above were calculated based upon the weighted
average Mortgage Interest Rate of the Mortgage Loans for the applicable month
and an assumed weighted average remaining term to maturity for the Mortgage
Loans equal to the weighted average remaining term to maturity at the date of
the initial issuance of the Series 1993-17 Certificates with respect to May
1993, reduced by one-month for each month thereafter. The prepayment history of
the Mortgage Loans underlying the Series 1993-17 Certificates cannot be relied
upon as an indicator of the future rate of prepayments on the Mortgage Loans.
Further, the rate of prepayment of a pool of mortgage loans during any period
should be considered in light of the amount of time elapsed since the
origination of such mortgage loans, the remaining terms to stated maturity of
such mortgage loans and
 
 
                                     S1-20
<PAGE>
 
the absolute levels of, and changes in, prevailing market interest rates during
such period. For a further discussion of the factors affecting the rate of
prepayments on mortgage loans, see "Summary Information--Effects of Prepayments
on Investment Expectations" and "Prepayment and Yield Considerations" in the
Prospectus Supplement. INVESTORS ARE URGED TO MAKE AN INDEPENDENT DECISION AS
TO THE APPROPRIATE PREPAYMENT ASSUMPTIONS TO BE USED IN DECIDING WHETHER TO
PURCHASE A CLASS A-8 CERTIFICATE.
 
           SENSITIVITY OF THE PRE-TAX YIELD TO MATURITY AND WEIGHTED
                   AVERAGE LIFE OF THE CLASS A-8 CERTIFICATES
 
  The Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus contain important information
concerning factors that will affect the yield and weighted average life of the
Class A-8 Certificates. Investors are urged to read "Prepayment and Yield
Considerations" in the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus particularly
carefully.
 
  THE YIELD TO INVESTORS IN THE CLASS A-8 CERTIFICATES, WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO
BE OFFERED AT A SUBSTANTIAL PREMIUM, WILL BE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO BOTH THE
TIMING OF RECEIPT AND THE OVERALL RATE OF PRINCIPAL PREPAYMENTS (FOR THIS
PURPOSE, THE TERM "PREPAYMENT" INCLUDES FULL AND PARTIAL PREPAYMENTS BY
MORTGAGORS, LIQUIDATIONS DUE TO DEFAULT, CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION AND THE LIKE,
REPURCHASES DUE TO BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND OPTIONAL PURCHASES) ON THE
MORTGAGE LOANS, PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO THOSE MORTGAGE LOANS WITH HIGHER
RATES OF INTEREST, WHICH OVERALL RATE MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY FROM TIME TO
TIME. AN INVESTOR IN THE CLASS A-8 CERTIFICATES SHOULD FULLY CONSIDER THE
ASSOCIATED RISKS, INCLUDING THE RISK THAT A RAPID RATE OF PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS
(INCLUDING PREPAYMENTS) COULD RESULT IN THE FAILURE OF SUCH INVESTOR TO FULLY
RECOVER ITS INITIAL INVESTMENT.
 
  For purposes of the table set forth below, the weighted average life of a
Class A-8 Certificate is the average amount of time that will elapse from June
20, 1997 until the Adjusted Unpaid Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans are
reduced to zero. The weighted average life of the Class A-8 Certificates will
be influenced by, among other things, the rate and timing of principal payments
on the Mortgage Loans, which may be in the form of scheduled amortization,
payments at maturity, prepayments or liquidation proceeds.
 
  The following table has been prepared on the basis of the characteristics of
the Mortgage Loans that are included in the Trust Estate as of May 16, 1997, as
described above under "Description of the Mortgage Loans" adjusted to reflect
calculated payments of principal on June 1, 1997 assuming a constant prepayment
rate equal to 10% CPR for the month of May 1997. This adjustment has the effect
of reducing the remaining terms to stated maturity of each Mortgage Loan by one
month from the table shown on page S1-10. The Unpaid Principal Balances of the
Mortgage Loans adjusted as described above are referred to herein as the
"Adjusted Unpaid Principal Balances." The following table indicates the
sensitivity to various rates of prepayment on the Mortgage Loans of the pre-tax
yield to maturity, on a corporate bond equivalent ("CBE") basis, and of the
weighted average life of the Class A-8 Certificates at various percentages of
CPR. Such calculations are based on distributions made in accordance with
"Description of the Certificates" herein and in the Prospectus Supplement, on
the assumptions described in clauses (i) and (iii) of the second full paragraph
on page S-56 of the Prospectus Supplement, and on the further assumptions that
(i) the Class A-8 Certificates will be purchased on June 20, 1997 for an
aggregate purchase price equal to approximately $1,556,993 which includes
accrued interest from June 1, 1997 to (but not including) June 20, 1997, (ii)
distributions to holders of Class A-8 Certificates will be made on the 25th day
of each month commencing in July 1997, (iii) scheduled monthly payments of
principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans will be timely received on the
first day of each month (with no defaults), commencing in July 1997, (iv)
principal prepayments on the Mortgage Loans will be received on the last day of
each month commencing in
 
 
                                     S1-21
<PAGE>
 
June 1997 at the respective percentages of CPR set forth in the table and there
are no Prepayment interest Shortfalls, (v) the Class A-8 Notional Amount
applicable to the Distribution Date occuring in July 1997 will be approximately
$117,229,656 and (vi) the Class A Subclass Principal Balance of the Class A-8
Certificates as of the Determination Date occurring in July 1997 will be
approximately $437.

</TABLE>
 
  The pre-tax yields to maturity set forth in the preceding table were
calculated by (i) determining the monthly discount rates which, when applied to
the assumed stream of cash flows to be paid on the Class A-8 Certificates,
would cause the discounted present value of such assumed stream of cash flows
to equal an assumed purchase price for the Class A-8 Certificates equal to
approximately $1,556,993, which includes accrued interest from June 1, 1997 to
(but not including) June 20, 1997, and (ii) converting such monthly rates to
corporate bond equivalent rates. Such calculation does not take into account
the interest rates at which an investor may be able to reinvest funds received
by such investor as distributions on the Class A-8 Certificates and
consequently does not purport to reflect the return on any investment in the
Class A-8 Certificates when such reinvestment rates are considered.
 
  The weighted average lives of the Class A-8 Certificates set forth in the
preceding table were determined by (i) multiplying the amount of net reduction
of the Adjusted Unpaid Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans by the number
of years from June 20, 1997 to the related Distribution Date, (ii) adding the
results and (iii) dividing the sum by the aggregate net reduction of the
Adjusted Unpaid Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans referred to in clause
(i).
 
  The assumptions set forth above and reflected in the above table are for
illustrative purposes only and vary considerably in terms of likelihood of
occurrence on an individual basis, but the likelihood of all occurring is
extremely remote. The Seller makes no representation with respect to the
reasonableness of such assumptions or that the actual rates of prepayments will
in any way correspond to any of the percentages of CPR assumed for purposes of
the table. It is highly unlikely that the Mortgage Loans will prepay at any
constant rate or combination of rates, or that all of the Mortgage Loans will
prepay at the same rate. It is also unrealistic to assume that there will be no
losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans. As a result of these factors, the
pre-tax yield to maturity and weighted average life of the Class A-8
Certificates are likely to differ from those shown in such table, even if all
of the Mortgage Loans prepay at the indicated percentages of CPR.
 
                        POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT
 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
  At the time of initial issuance of the Series 1993-17 Certificates, the
Seller made certain representations and warranties to the Trustee relating to
the Mortgage Loans. Those representations and warranties were made as of the
date of such initial issuance, and are not made as of any date or with respect
to any period after such issuance, or in connection with the sale of the Class
A-8 Certificates. See "The Trust Estates--Mortgage Loans--Representations and
Warranties" in the Prospectus.

                    CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
  An election has been made to treat the Trust Estate as a REMIC for federal
income tax purposes. The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5,
Class A-6, Class A-7 and Class A-8 Certificates, the Class M Certificates and
each subclass of Class B Certificates are designated as the regular interests
in the REMIC and the Class A-R Certificate is designated as the residual
interest in the REMIC.
 
  The Class A-8 Certificates are treated as "loans . . .  secured by an
interest in real property which is . . .  residential real property" for
domestic building and loan associations and "real estate assets" for real
estate investment trusts, to the extent described in the Prospectus.
 
  The Class A-8 Certificates generally are treated as debt instruments
originated on the date of original issuance of the Series 1993-17 Certificates
for federal income tax purposes. Holders of the Class A-8 Certificates will be
required to report income thereon in accordance with the accrual method of
accounting. Final and temporary Treasury regulations regarding original issue
discount (the "OID Regulations") were issued on February 2, 1994, indicating
that either the OID Regulations or the Proposed OID Regulations (as defined and
discussed in the Prospectus) may be relied upon as authority with respect to
debt instruments issued on the date of original issuance of the Series 1993-17
Certificates. Although not free from doubt, the Seller believes that, under
both the OID Regulations (as subsequently amended effective June 14, 1996) and
the Proposed OID Regulations, the Class A-8 Certificates are considered to have
been issued with original issue discount in an amount equal to the excess of
all distributions of principal and interest expected to be received thereon
over their issue price (including accrued interest). Any "negative" amounts of
original issue discount on the Class A-8 Certificates attributable to rapid
prepayments will not be deductible currently, but may be offset against future
positive accruals of original issue discount, if any. The holder of a Class A-8
Certificate may be entitled to a loss deduction to the extent it becomes
certain that such holder will not recover a portion of its basis in such
Certificate, assuming no further prepayments. The Seller makes no
representation as to the timing or amount of such losses, if any, or how any
such losses will be reported to the holders. See "Certain Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Federal Income Tax Consequences for REMIC Certificates--Taxation
of Regular Certificates--Original Issue Discount and "--Treatment of Losses" in
the Prospectus. The adjusted issue price of a Class A-8 Certificate as of the
date of purchase by an investor is its original issue price, plus original
issue discount accrued since the date of original issuance of the Series 1993-
17 Certificates, less distributions made, and losses, if any, incurred, on the
Class A-8 Certificates since the date of original issuance of the Series 1993-
17 Certificates. A purchase price for a Class A-8 Certificate that is less than
or greater than the adjusted issue price of such Class A-8 Certificate will
result in market discount or acquisition premium, respectively, to the
beneficial owner thereof, as discussed in the Prospectus under "Certain Federal
Income Tax Consequences--Federal Income Tax Consequences for REMIC
Certificates--Taxation of Regular Certificates--Market Discount" and "--
Acquisition Premium."
 
  The Prepayment Assumption that is to be used in determining the rate of
accrual of original issue discount is set forth in the Prospectus Supplement
under "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Regular Certificates." No
representation is made as to the actual rate at which the Mortgage Loans will
prepay.
 
  See "Summary Information--Federal Income Tax Status" and "Federal Income Tax
Considerations" in the Prospectus Supplement and "Certain Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Federal Income Tax Consequences for REMIC Certificates" in the
Prospectus.

                                  UNDERWRITING
 
  Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement dated as of
June 17, 1997, and the terms agreement dated as of June 17, 1997 (together, the
"Underwriting Agreement") among the Seller, Prudential Insurance and Salomon
Brothers Inc, as underwriter (the "Underwriter"), the Class A-8 Certificates
offered hereby are being purchased from the Seller by the Underwriter on or
about June 20, 1997. The Underwriter is committed to purchase all of the Class
A-8 Certificates offered hereby if any Class A-8 Certificates are purchased.
The Underwriter has advised the Seller that it proposes to offer the Class A-8
Certificates, from time to time, for sale in negotiated transactions or
otherwise at prices determined at the time of sale and that Lazard Freres & Co.
LLC (the "Dealer") also proposes to offer the Class A-8 Certificates, from time
to time, for sale in negotiated transactions or otherwise at prices determined
at the time of sale. Proceeds to the Seller from the sale of the Class A-8
Certificates are expected to be approximately 1.28% of the Pool Scheduled
Principal Balance as of the Distribution Date in July 1997 without giving
effect to partial principal prepayments or partial liquidation proceeds
received on or after the Determination Date in June 1997, plus accrued interest
from June 1, 1997 to (but not including) June 20, 1997. The Underwriter, the
Dealer and any other dealers that participate with the Underwriter in the
distribution of the Class A-8 Certificates may be deemed to be underwriters,
and any discounts or commissions received by them and any profit on the resale
of Class A-8 Certificates by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or
commissions, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").
 
  The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Seller and Prudential Insurance
will indemnify the Underwriter against certain civil liabilities under the
Securities Act or contribute to payments which the Underwriter may be required
to make in respect thereof.
 
                                SECONDARY MARKET
 
  There will not be any market for the Class A-8 Certificates offered hereby
prior to the offering thereof. The Underwriter intends to act as a market maker
in the Class A-8 Certificates, subject to applicable provisions of federal and
state securities laws and other regulatory requirements, but is under no
obligation to do so. There can be no assurance that a secondary market in the
Class A-8 Certificates will develop or, if such a market does develop, that it
will provide holders of Class A-8 Certificates with liquidity of investment at
any particular time or for the life of the Class A-8 Certificates. As a source
of information concerning the Class A-8 Certificates and the Mortgage Loans,
prospective investors may obtain copies of the reports included in monthly
statements to Certificateholders described under "Description of Certificates--
Reports" in the Prospectus Supplement upon written request to the Trustee at
the Corporate Trust Office.
 
                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
 
  As described in the Prospectus under "ERISA Considerations," ERISA and the
Code impose certain duties and restrictions on any person which is an employee
benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA and/or Code Section 4975 (each, an
"ERISA Plan") or any person utilizing the assets of an ERISA Plan and on
certain persons who perform services for ERISA Plans. Comparable duties and
restrictions may exist under federal, state or local laws ("Similar Law"),
which are, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing sections of ERISA or
the Code, on governmental plans and certain persons who perform services for
governmental plans. For example, unless exempted, investment by an ERISA Plan
in the Class A-8 Certificates may constitute a prohibited transaction under
ERISA, the Code or Similar Law. There are certain exemptions issued by the
United States Department of Labor (the "DOL") that may be applicable to an
investment by an ERISA Plan in the Class A-8 Certificates, including the
individual administrative exemption described below and Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption 83-1 ("PTE 83-1"). For a further discussion of PTE 83-1,
including the necessary conditions to its applicability, and other important
factors to be considered by an ERISA Plan contemplating investing in the Class
A-8 Certificates, see "ERISA Considerations" in the Prospectus.
 
 
                                     S1-24
<PAGE>
 
  On October 17, 1989, the DOL issued to the Underwriter an individual
administrative exemption, Prohibited Transaction Exemption 89-89, 54 Fed. Reg.
42589 (the "Exemption"), from certain of the prohibited transaction rules of
ERISA and corresponding provisions of Code Section 4975 with respect to the
initial purchase, the holding and the subsequent resale by an ERISA Plan of
certificates in pass-through trusts that meet the considerations and
requirements of the Exemption. The Exemption might apply to the acquisition,
holding and resale of the Class A-8 Certificates by an ERISA Plan, provided
that specified conditions are met.
 
  Among the conditions which would have to be satisfied for the Exemption to
apply to the acquisition by an ERISA Plan of the Class A-8 Certificates is the
condition that the ERISA Plan investing in the Class A-8 Certificates be an
"accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.
 
  Before purchasing a Class A-8 Certificate, a fiduciary of an ERISA Plan
should make its own determination as to the availability of the exemptive
relief provided in the Exemption or the availability of any other prohibited
transaction exemptions (including PTE 83-1), and whether the conditions of any
such exemption will be applicable to the Class A-8 Certificates. Any fiduciary
of an ERISA Plan considering whether to purchase a Class A-8 Certificate should
also carefully review with its own legal advisors the applicability of the
fiduciary duty and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code to
such investment. See "ERISA Considerations" in the Prospectus.
 
                                LEGAL INVESTMENT
 
  The Class A-8 Certificates will constitute "mortgage related securities" for
purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984 (the
"Enhancement Act") so long as they are rated in one of the two highest rating
categories by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating
organization. As such, the Class A-8 Certificates are legal investments for
certain entities to the extent provided in the Enhancement Act. However,
institutions subject to the jurisdiction of the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the National
Credit Union Administration or state banking or insurance authorities should
review applicable rules, supervisory policies and guidelines of these agencies
before purchasing a Class A-8 Certificate, as such Certificates may be deemed
to be unsuitable investments under one or more of these rules, policies and
guidelines and certain restrictions may apply to investments in the Class A-8
Certificates. It should also be noted that certain states have enacted, or have
proposed enacting, legislation limiting to varying extents the ability of
certain entities (in particular insurance companies) to invest in mortgage
related securities. Investors should consult with their own legal advisors in
determining whether and to what extent the Class A-8 Certificates constitute
legal investments for such investors. See "Legal Investment" in the Prospectus.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
  The validity of the Class A-8 Certificates and certain tax matters with

                                    RATINGS
 
  The Class A-8 Certificates have been rated "Aaa" by Moody's and "AAA" by
Fitch. See "Ratings" in the Prospectus Supplement for a further discussion of
the ratings of the Certificates. The ratings of Moody's and Fitch do not
address the possibility that, as a result of principal prepayments,
Certificateholders may receive a lower than anticipated yield or the
possibility that, as a result of prepayments, investors in the Class A-8
Certificates may fail to fully recoup their initial investment.
