Aames Capital Corporation (the "Transferor") registered up to
$2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of asset-backed certificates

amended (the "Act"), pursuant to a Registration Statement on form S-3,
including a prospectus (Registration Statement File No. 333-64903-01)
(the "Registration Statement"). Pursuant to the Registration Statement,
the Transferor filed a Prospectus Supplement and a Prospectus, each

$456,233,200 aggregate principal amount of Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2000-1 (the "Certificates"), issued by Aames
Mortgage Trust 2000-1 (the "Trust") on September 21, 2000 (the "Closing

A-F3, Class A-F4, Class A-F5, Class A-F6, Class A-V1 and Class A-V2
Certificates (collectively, the "Offered Certificates"), Class R
Certificates, Class P Certificates and Class C Certificates (the "Class
R Certificates, " the "Class P Certificates" and "Class C
Certificates", respectively, and collectively with the Offered
Certificates, the "Certificates"). Only the Offered Certificates were
offer by the Prospectus.
The Certificates represent undivided beneficial ownership interests in
the Trust, which was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as of September 1, 2000 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement") between the Transferor, as sponsor and servicer, and
Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee").
On the Closing Date, the corpus of the Trust consisted primarily of a
pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of home equity mortgage loans (the "Initial
Mortgage Loans").
The description of the Mortgage Pool in the Prospectus contained
information only with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans as of the
Cur-off Date. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to update

file copies of certain final agreements executed in connection with the
issuance of the Certificates.
