faster than the rates assumed in the attached Computational Materials.
Furthermore, unless otherwise provided, the Computational Materials assume no
losses on the underlying assets and no interest shortfall. The specific
characteristics of the securities may differ from those shown in the

                        "Closing Date").

PAYMENT DATE:           The 15th day of each month (or if such 15th day is not a
                        business day, the next succeeding business day) 
                        commencing in January, 1999.

TAX STATUS:             Debt obligations of the Issuer.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION:    10% optional clean-up call.

COLLATERAL:             Fixed-rate, home improvement contracts and promissory
                        notes and fixed rate, closed-end home equity contracts
                        (the "Contracts") secured by first, second, third, or
                        fourth priority liens on the related properties and, in
                        general, having a high combined loan-to-value ratio at
                        origination. For purpose of determining the amount of
                        principal to be paid on the Class A-1 Notes and the
                        Class A-2 Notes, the Contracts will be divided into two
                        groups: "Group 1" (relating to the Class A-1 Notes) and
                        "Group 2" (relating to the Class A-2 Notes,)
                        collectively referred to herein as the "Total Pool." See
                        below for further description of the Contracts in each
                        Group and the Total Pool.

ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL:  The data set forth below with respect to each Group is
                        based solely on the contracts identified for inclusion
                        in each Group as of the Cut-off Date. Certain additional
                        contracts will be included in Group 2 on the Closing
                        Date ("Additional Group 2 Contracts"). It is expected
                        that the Additional Group 2 Contracts will have
                        characteristics that are similar to the initial group of
                        Group 2 Contracts.

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT:     Credit enhancement with respect to the Notes will be
                        provided by subordination and, with respect to the Class
                        A Notes, the Financial Security Assurance Inc. ("FSA")

                        the Class A-1 and Class A-2 Notes.

                            interest thereon, the deficiency will be absorbed by
                            the Guaranty Fee otherwise payable to Green Tree,
                            then the Monthly Servicing Fee otherwise payable to

PRINCIPAL
(Class A-1, A-2,
M-1, M-2, B-1):             After the payment of all interest distributable to
                            Class A-1, Class A-2, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class
                            B-1 Noteholders, principal will be distributed in
                            the following manner.

CLASS A PRINCIPAL:          The Class A-1 Noteholders will be entitled to
                            receive the Senior Percentage of the related Group
                            Formula Principal Distribution Amount, until the
                            Class A-1 Principal Balance has been reduced to
                            zero. The Class A-2 Noteholders will be entitled to
                            receive the Senior Percentage of the related Group
                            Formula Principal Distribution Amount until the
                            Class A-2 Principal Balance has been reduced to
                            zero. The "Senior Percentage" will equal 100% if
                            either of the following exist:

                            (i)  the Payment Date is prior to January 2003 
                                 (month49); or

                            (ii) any Class B Principal Distribution Test (see 
                                 below) is not satisfied.

                            Otherwise, the Senior Percentage will equal a
                            fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the
                            Class A-1 Principal Balance, the Class A-2 Principal
                            Balance, and the Class M Principal Balance for a
                            given Payment Date, and the denominator of which is
                            the sum of the Scheduled Principal Balances of Group
                            1 and Group 2 for the immediately preceding Payment
                            Date.

                            The related "Group Formula Principal Distribution
                            Amount" with respect to each Group and each Class A
                            Note will generally be equal to (A) the sum of (i)
                            all scheduled payments of principal due on each
                            outstanding Contract related to such Group during
                            the related Due Period, (ii) the Scheduled Balance
                            of each Contract related to such Group which, during
                            the related Due Period, was repurchased by the
                            Company, (iii) all partial principal prepayments
                            applied and all principal prepayments in full
                            received during such Due Period in respect of
                            Contracts related to such Group, (iv) the scheduled
                            principal balance of each Contract related to such
                            Group that became a liquidated contract during such
                            related Due Period and (v) any amount described in
                            clauses (i) through (iv) above that was not
                            previously distributed because of an insufficient
                            amount of funds available if (a) the Payment Date
                            occurs on or after the Payment Date on which the
                            Class B-2 Principal Balance has been reduced to
                            zero, or (b) such amount was not covered by a Class
                            B-2 Guaranty Payment and corresponding reduction in
                            the Class B-2 Principal Balance.

CLASS M-1 PRINCIPAL:        Class M-1 Noteholders will not receive principal
                            payments until the Class A-1 Principal Balance and
                            Class A-2 Principal Balance has been reduced to
                            zero. At that time the Class M-1 Noteholders will be
                            entitled to receive the Senior Percentage of each
                            Group Formula Principal Distribution Amount, until
                            the Class M-1 Principal Balance has been reduced to
                            zero.

                            payments until the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class M-
                            1 Principal Balances have been reduced to zero. At
                            that time the Class M-2 Noteholders will be entitled
                            to receive the Senior Percentage of each Group
                            Formula Principal Distribution Amount, until the

                            Distribution Test is satisfied or (b) the Class A-1
                            Principal Balance, the Class A-2 Principal Balance
                            and the Class M Principal Balances have each been
                            reduced to zero. At that time, to the extent of the
                            amount available after payment of all interest
                            distributable to Class A-1, Class A-2, Class M-1,
                            Class M-2 and Class B-1 Noteholders, and all

                            Noteholders will receive the lesser of (i) the Class
                            B Percentage of each Group Formula Principal
                            Distribution Amount and (ii) the excess of (a) the
                            sum of (x) the Class B-1 Principal Balance and (y)

                            reduced to zero.

                            The Class B Percentage will be equal to 100% minus
                            the Senior Percentage. The Class B Percentage after

                               GROUP 2 CONTRACTS

     The Contracts comprising Group 2 consist of home improvement contracts and
home equity contracts. The obligations of the obligor under each Group 2
Contract are secured by the related real estate.

     The information concerning the Initial Group 2 Contracts presented below is
based on a pool originated through December 1, 1998 (the "Initial Group 2
Contracts). Green Tree intends to acquire and sell Additional Group 2 Contracts
to the Trust on the Closing Date. Although the characteristics of the final pool
of Group 2 Contracts will differ from the characteristics of the Initial Group 2
Contracts shown below, Green Tree does not expect that the characteristics of
the Additional Group 2 Contracts sold to the Trust will vary materially from
those of the Initial Group 2 Contracts herein.

                              TOTAL POOL CONTRACTS

     The Contracts comprising the Total Pool consist of home improvement
contracts and home equity contracts. The obligations of the obligor under each
Total Pool Contract are secured by the related real estate.

     The information concerning the Total Pool Contracts presented below is
based on a pool originated through December 1, 1998. Green Tree intends to
acquire and sell Additional Group 2 Contracts to the Trust on the Closing Date.
Although the characteristics of the final pool of Total Pool Contracts will
differ from the characteristics of the Total Pool Contracts shown below, Green
Tree does not expect that the characteristics of the Additional Group 2
Contracts sold to the Trust will vary materially from those of the Group 2
Contracts herein.
