Item 5. Other Events.

      On or about February 25, 1999, the Registrant will cause the issuance and
sale of approximately $525,000,000 initial principal amount of AFC Mortgage Loan
Asset Backed Certificates, Series 1999-1, Class 1A, Class 2A and Class R
(collectively, the "Certificates") pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
to be dated as of February 1, 1999, by and between the Registrant, as depositor
and servicer, and LaSalle National Bank as trustee.

      In connection with the sale of AFC Mortgage Loan Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 1999-1, Class 1A and Class 2A (collectively, the
"Underwritten Certificates"), the Registrant has been advised by Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (together,
the "Underwriters") that the Underwriters have furnished to prospective
investors certain yield tables and other computational materials, collateral
term sheets and structural term sheets (the "Computational Materials") with
respect to the Underwritten Certificates following the effective date of
Registration Statement No. 333-61691, which Computational Materials are being
filed as exhibits to this report.

      The information in the Computational Materials will be superseded by the
Prospectus Supplement relating to the Certificates and by any other information
subsequently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      The Computational Materials were prepared by the Underwriters at the
request of certain prospective investors, based on collateral information
provided by the Registrant and assumptions provided by, and satisfying the
special requirements of, such prospective investors. The Computational Materials
may be based on assumptions that differ from the assumptions set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement. The Computational Materials may not include, and do not
purport to include, information based on assumptions representing a complete set
of possible scenarios. Accordingly, the Computational Materials may not be
relevant to or appropriate for investors other than those specifically
requesting them.

      In addition, the actual characteristics and performance of the mortgage
loans underlying the Underwritten Certificates (the "Mortgage Loans") may differ
from the assumptions used in the Computational Materials, which are hypothetical
in nature and which were provided to certain investors only to give a general
sense of how the yield, average life, duration, expected maturity, interest rate
sensitivity and cash flow characteristics of a particular class of Underwritten
Certificates might vary under varying prepayment and other scenarios. Any
difference between such assumptions and the actual characteristics and
performance of the Mortgage Loans will affect the actual yield, average life,
duration, expected maturity, interest rate sensitivity and cash flow
characteristics of the Underwritten Certificates.

Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch") and not by
the issuer of the securities or any of its affiliates. The issuer of these
securities has not prepared or taken part in the preparation of these materials.
Neither Merrill Lynch, the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates
makes any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of the information
herein. The information herein is preliminary, and will be superseded by the
applicable Prospectus Supplement and by any other information subsequently filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information herein may not be
provided by the addressees to any third party other than the addressee's legal,
tax, financial and/or accounting advisors for the purposes of evaluating said
material.

Numerous assumptions were used in preparing the Computational Materials which
may or may not be stated therein. As such, no assurance can be given as to the
accuracy, appropriateness or completeness of the Computational Materials in any
particular context; or as to whether the Computational Materials and/or the
assumptions upon which they are based reflect present market conditions or
future market performance. These Computational Materials should not be construed
as either projections or predictions or as legal, tax, financial or accounting
advice.

Any yields or weighted average lives shown in the Computational Materials are
based on prepayment assumptions and actual prepayment experience may
dramatically affect such yields or weighted average lives. In addition, it is
possible that prepayments on the underlying assets will occur at rates slower or
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
Computational Materials due to differences between the actual underlying assets
and the hypothetical assets used in preparing the Computational Materials. The
principal amount and designation of any security described in the Computational
Materials are subject to change prior to issuance.

                               and the certificate insurance policy (FGIC).

EXCESS SPREAD:                 On each remittance date, the amount of interest
                               due on the mortgage loans of each group will
                               generally be greater than the amount needed to
                               make monthly interest payments on the related
                               certificates and to pay certain fees for such
                               month. Excess spread from a group of mortgage
                               loans will be used first to cover any shortfalls
                               in the required payments of principal on the
                               offered certificates related to such group, and
                               then for cross-collateralization and/or
                               overcollateralization.

OVERCOLLATERALIZATION:         Overcollateralization refers to the actual amount
                               by which the aggregate principal balance due on
                               the mortgage loans in a group exceeds the
                               aggregate principal balance due on the related
                               offered certificates. That excess is intended to
                               protect certificateholders against shortfalls in
                               required payments on the related offered
                               certificates.

                               An initial amount of overcollateralization will
                               be required for each group. On the closing date,
                               the certificate insurer will also specify the
                               required overcollateralization for each group
                               (which will vary throughout the life of the
                               certificates). The required overcollateralization
                               amount for a group is intended to be reached by
                               an additional payment of principal from amounts
                               that are available for such group after payments
                               of required principal and interest payments on
                               all offered certificates and certain fees and
                               expenses. Such amount, if any, will be used to
                               pay principal on the related offered certificates
                               on an accelerated basis in relation to the
                               related mortgage loans, thereby increasing the
                               amount of overcollateralization for the related
                               group.

CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION:       Cross-collateralization generally refers to the
                               use of amounts received on one group of mortgage
                               loans, after payment of required interest and
                               principal on the related offered certificates, to
                               pay shortfalls of required interest and principal
                               on the offered certificates related to the other
                               group. In addition, after payments of required
                               interest and principal payments on both groups,
                               excess funds for one group will be used, if
                               necessary, first to reach the required
                               overcollateralization amount for such group, and
                               then to reach the required overcollateralization
                               amount for the other group.

                               The excess funds for a group are from two
                               sources: (1) excess spread that is not needed to
                               pay shortfalls in principal for such group and
                               (2) excess principal that is not needed because
                               principal received for such group exceeds the
                               amount necessary to reach or maintain the
                               required overcollateralization amount.


PRE-FUNDING AMOUNTS:

Original Group 1 Pre-Funding Amount: $109,129,845 (approximate)
Original Group 2 Pre-Funding Amount: $97,865,795 (approximate)

The Original Group 1 and Group 2 Pre-Funding Amounts will be reduced during the
Funding Period (approx. 2 months) by the amounts thereof used to purchase the
related Subsequent Mortgage Loans. Any amount remaining at the end of the
Funding Period in Group 1 and Group 2 Pre-Funding Accounts will be used to
prepay principal to the Class 1A and Class 2A Certificates, respectively.


Class 1A Certificates:

Prior to the availability of the 5% clean-up call (as defined below):

On each Remittance Date, the Class 1A Pass-Through Rate will be a rate equal to
the lesser of (i) One-Month LIBOR plus [ ]% per annum, and (ii) the weighted
average of the Mortgage Rates of the Group 1 Mortgage Loans minus, with respect
to Group 1, the sum of (a) the Servicing Fee Rate, (b) the rate at which the
monthly premium payable to the Certificate Insurer is calculated and (c) the
rate at which the Annual Trustee Expense Amount is calculated (the rate
described in this clause (ii), the "Class 1A Cap Rate").

Class 2A Certificates:

Prior to the availability of the 5% clean-up call (as defined below):

On each Remittance Date, the Class 2A Pass-Through Rate will be a rate equal to
the lesser of (i) One-Month LIBOR plus [ ]% per annum, and (ii) the weighted
average of the Mortgage Rates of the Group 2 Mortgage Loans minus, with respect
to Group 2, the sum of (a) the Servicing Fee Rate, (b) the rate at which the
monthly premium payable to the Certificate Insurer is calculated and (c) the
rate at which the Annual Trustee Expense Amount is calculated (the rate
described in this clause (ii), the "Class 2A Cap Rate").

One-Month LIBOR will be determined on the second Business Day preceding the
beginning of each Accrual Period with respect to the Class 1A and Class 2A
Certificates.

After the availability of the 5% cleanup call the Class 1A and 2A Pass-Through
Rates will increase approximately 40bps on and after the date on which the 5%
clean-up call becomes available but is not exercised, subject to the Class 1A
and Class 2A Cap Rates.

CLASS 2A AVAILABLE FUNDS CAP CARRY FORWARD AMOUNT:

If on any Distribution Date, the Class 2A Pass-Through Rate is limited by the
Class 2A Cap Rate, you will be entitled to receive the excess of i) the interest
distributable had the Pass-Through Rate been based on the LIBOR Rate (but not
more that the weighted average maximum mortgage rate on all mortgage loans minus
(a) the Servicing Fee Rate, (b) the trustee fee, and (c) the monthly premium
payable to the Certificate Insurer), over ii) the interest actually distributed
based on the Class 2A Cap Rate plus iii) interest thereon at the applicable
Pass-Through Rate. No Class 2A Available Funds Cap Carry Forward Amount will be
paid to the Class 2A Certificateholder if the balance of such Class 2A
Certificate is reduced to zero. The ratings of the Class 2A Certificates do not
address the likelihood of the payment of any Class 2A Available Funds Cap Carry
Forward Amounts and Class 2A Available Funds Cap Carry Forward Amounts will not
be covered by Insured Payments from FGIC.

PRINCIPAL DISTRIBUTIONS:

The Class 1A Certificate will be backed primarily by cash flow from Group 1
Mortgage Loans.

The Class 2A Certificate will be backed primarily by cash flow from Group 2
Mortgage Loans.

Each Class 1A and 2A Certificate will generally receive all scheduled and
unscheduled principal distributions from their respective groups until they are
retired.

OPTIONAL TERMINATION/5% CLEANUP CALL:

When the aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans (and properties
acquired in respect thereof) remaining in the trust has been reduced to less
than 5% of the sum of (1) the aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans
as of February 1, 1999, and (2) the aggregate amounts on deposit in the
pre-funding accounts on February 1, 1999, the servicer, at its option, may
purchase all of such mortgage loans and properties on behalf of the trust, and
thereby cause an early retirement of the certificates.

COLLATERAL OVERVIEW (INITIAL MORTGAGE LOANS):

Manufactured Home Loans 

Mortgage loans secured by manufactured homes that are deemed to be real property
in the jurisdiction in which the mortgaged property is located. These loans will
constitute 6.83% of Group 1 and 3.30% of Group 2, by Group Principal Balance,
before pre-funding.

Periodic Payment Loans

Mortgage loans which generally are the same as the other mortgage loans in the
transaction but which accrue interest on a 28/364 day basis. Periodic Payment
Loans will constitute 11.80% of Group 1, by Group Principal Balance, before
pre-funding. In addition, some of these loans will allow for the mortgagor to
use a limited number of payment vouchers to defer principal portions of the
corresponding Periodic Payment and pay only the interest portion due on such
payment dates. Any principal deferred in such a manner will be due in full on
the maturity date of the related Periodic Payment Loan.

Deferred Payment Loans

Mortgage Loans which permit the Mortgagor to defer the first two or first three
payments due under the related Note. Such election must be made at the time of
origination. Under certain limited circumstances, these deferred payments may be
forgiven by the Mortgagee on the maturity date of the loan. These loans will
constitute 4.23% of Group 1 and 6.33% of Group 2, by Group Principal Balance,
before pre-funding.

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

Temporary Buydown Loans

Approximately 0.69% of Group 1 and 3.64% of Group 2 before pre-funding, provide
that the Mortgage Rate stated therein be reduced by 2% during the first twelve
month period of the loans, and reduced by 1% during the second twelve month
period of the loan, after which such Mortgage Rate will apply. For example, a
loan with a stated Mortgage Rate of 10% will actually have a Mortgage Rate of 8%
during the first 12 month period, 9% during the second 12 month period and will
return to 10% for the remainder of the loan term. All modeling assumptions
herein use the actual reduced Mortgage Rates for the first 24 months, not the
stated Mortgage Rate, for all such Temporary Buydown Loans.

Permanent Buydown Loans

Approximately 6.12% of the Group 1 Initial Mortgage Loans, by Original Group 1
Principal Balance, are loans (each, a "Permanent Buydown Loan") made by the
Depositor to a borrower together with a "Permanent Buydown Companion Loan" for
the purpose of financing a buydown of the interest rate on the Permanent Buydown
Loan. Each Permanent Buydown Companion Loan provides for equal payments of
principal only for a term not to exceed 5 years. Although the Permanent Buydown
Loan and the Permanent Buydown Companion Loan are evidenced by separate notes,
the Depositor treats, and the Servicer will treat, both loans as a single
obligation. The Permanent Buydown Loan and the Permanent Buydown Companion Loan
are given a single loan number and are billed on a single statement. Both notes
are secured by either a first or second lien on the same mortgaged property, and
a default under one note will trigger a default under the other. If a shortfall
in the aggregate payment on the Permanent Buydown Loan and the Permanent Buydown
Companion Loan occurs, funds received will be applied by the Servicer first to
the Permanent Buydown Loan and the excess, if any, to the Permanent Buydown
Companion Loan. If a Curtailment is received, the Servicer will apply the
Curtailment first to the Permanent Buydown Loan and the excess, if any, to the
Permanent Buydown Companion Loan. For each Permanent Buydown Loan conveyed to
the Trust Fund, the corresponding Permanent Buydown Companion Loan will also be
conveyed to the Trust Fund.

Approximately $907,775 of Permanent Buydown Companion Loans are associated with
the Group 1 Permanent Buydown Loans.
