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

TRANSACTION STRUCTURE OVERVIEW

Certificates will be collateralized by loans from 3 collateral pools (fixed-rate
pool, adjustable-rate pool 1 and adjustable-rate pool 2) separated into two
groups ("Loan Groups"): 

- -         LOAN GROUP I will include all of the fixed rate collateral and the
          adjustable-rate pool 1, consisting of 2/28 and 3/27 hybrid loans

- -         LOAN GROUP II will include adjustable-rate pool 2, consisting of 2/28 
          hybrid loans and 6-month LIBOR loans 

COLLATERAL CASH FLOWS FROM LOAN GROUP I WILL BE PRIORITIZED TO PAY THE PAC AND
COMPANION CERTIFICATES; 

COLLATERAL CASH FLOWS FROM LOAN GROUP II WILL BE PRIORITIZED TO PAY THE CLASS 
A-10 LIBOR CERTIFICATE;

LOAN GROUP I AND LOAN GROUP II WILL BE CROSS-COLLATERALIZED FOR THE PURPOSES OF
ATTAINING A SINGLE OC TARGET AND PAYING DOWN THE SINGLE CLASS OF SUBORDINATED
CLASS B CERTIFICATES.

- -    Principal Collections on each Loan Group (including accelerated cash to
     build to overcollateralization target) will be allocated as outlined below:

PRIOR TO THE STEPDOWN DATE:

LOAN GROUP I:
100% of the Loan Group I principal collections (including excess interest until
the Targeted Overcollateralization Amount is reached) will be allocated (as
described on page 6 under "Principal Cashflow Priority") to the Class A-1
through Class A-9 certificates.

LOAN GROUP II: 
100% of the Loan Group II principal collections (including excess interest until
the Targeted Overcollateralization Amount is reached) will be allocated to the
Class A-10 certificates.

WITH RESPECT TO ANY PAYMENT DATE, TO THE EXTENT THE SENIOR ENHANCEMENT
PERCENTAGE FOR LOAN GROUP I OR LOAN GROUP II EQUALS OR EXCEEDS THE SENIOR
SPECIFIED ENHANCEMENT PERCENTAGE FOR THE RESPECTIVE LOAN GROUPS, SUCH PRINCIPAL
(INCLUDING EXCESS INTEREST UNTIL THE TARGETED OVERCOLLATERALIZATION AMOUNT IS
REACHED) WILL BE APPLIED TO THE OTHER LOAN GROUP UNTIL THE SENIOR ENHANCEMENT
PERCENTAGE EQUALS THE RESPECTIVE SENIOR SPECIFIED ENHANCEMENT PERCENTAGE FOR THE
OTHER LOAN GROUP. THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE STEPDOWN DATE AND THE SENIOR SPECIFIED
ENHANCEMENT WILL BE THE SAME FOR EACH LOAN GROUP.
ON AND AFTER THE STEPDOWN DATE:

LOAN GROUP I: 
Loan Group I principal collections (including excess interest) will be allocated
to the Class A-1 through Class A-9 certificates such that the Loan Group I
Senior Optimal Balance is maintained. 

LOAN GROUP II: 
Loan Group II principal collections (including excess interest) will be
allocated to the Class A-10 certificates such that the Loan Group II Senior
Optimal Balance is maintained. 

THE SENIOR OPTIMAL BALANCE WILL BE THE SAME FOR EACH LOAN GROUP.

TRANSACTION STRUCTURE OVERVIEW (CONT.)

Certificate Insurer will wrap the Class A Certificates only.

     Class A-1 will be a rated P-1/ A-1+/ F-1 and will receive 100% of the Loan
     Group I principal collections until retired, resulting in an expected
     principal lock-out period of approximately 5 months for the Class A-2
     through the A-7 PAC bonds and the Class A-8 LIBOR Companion and Class A-9
     Auction Rate Companion bonds.

     The Class A-2 through Class A-7 Certificates will be PAC Certificates:
         1) The Class A-2 through A-7 PAC Certificates will pay principal
            sequentially according to an expected amortization schedule.
         2) The PAC prepayment bands are expected to be:
              - FRMs - 125% PPC to 175% PPC 
              - ARMs - 95% PPC to 130% PPC

     The Class A-8 and Class A-9 Adjustable Rate Certificates will be Companion
     bonds, with the Class A-9 coupon determined pursuant to monthly Auction
     Rate Procedures.

The Class A-11 IO interest will be i) calculated on the basis of a Notional
Principal Balance equal to the aggregate principal balance of the Class A-6 and
Class A-7 Certificates, and ii) payable only from the 1st through 30th Payment
Dates at a Pass-Through Rate equal to 6.50% per annum.

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT
COMPONENTS

     CLASS A CREDIT ENHANCEMENT:
          1. Excess cash;
          2. Overcollateralization building up to a requirement of 1.30% of
             the aggregate original loan balance;

EXCESS CASH

Excess cash will equal the difference between the interest payments received on
the aggregate home equity loans net of the Servicing Fee, Trustee Fee,
Certificate Insurer Fee, Auction Agent Fee and Broker-Dealer Fee (for the Class
A-8 only), and Certificate Interest.

OVERCOLLATERALIZATION

THE TARGETED OVERCOLLATERALIZATION AMOUNT MEANS:

1.        Before the Stepdown Date, overcollateralization initially
          builds to 1.30% of the aggregate original loan balance of the Loan
          Group I and II (subject to the Certificate Insurer performance
          triggers). TO THE EXTENT THE SENIOR SPECIFIED ENHANCEMENT PERCENTAGE
          IS ATTAINED FOR ONE LOAN GROUP AND NOT FOR THE OTHER, EXCESS CASH WILL
          BE REDIRECTED TO HELP ATTAIN THE TARGET FOR THE OTHER LOAN GROUP;
2.        On and after the Stepdown Date, and so long as no trigger
          event is in effect, the overcollateralization will step down monthly
          to 2.795% of the outstanding aggregate loan balance of Loan Group I
          and II; 
3.        The overcollateralization step down will be subject to a
          floor of 0.50% of the aggregate original loan balance of Loan Groups I
          and II (subject to Certificate Insurer trigger events).
4.        There will be no funding of the overcollateralization for
          the first 6 months of the transaction (until October 15, 1998).

     retired.

SUBORDINATION TEST (TO DETERMINE "AAA" PRINCIPAL DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT):
     Before the Stepdown Date, the Class A Certificates receive 100% of the
     collateral principal revenues and the excess cash to build to an OC target

     Date, the Class A Certificates receive collateral principal to maintain
     10.105% credit enhancement.

STEP DOWN DATE:
     The earlier of: (i) the later of (a) the April 2001 Payment Date and (b)
     the first Payment Date on which the Senior Enhancement Percentage (i.e. the
     sum of the Subordinated Certificates and OC amount divided by the aggregate
     of the Fixed and Adjustable Rate Home Equity Loans) is at least 10.105%,
     and (ii) the Payment Date on which the aggregate Class A Balance has been
     reduced to zero.

SENIOR ENHANCEMENT PERCENTAGE:
     The percentage obtained by dividing (x) the sum of (i) the aggregate
     Certificate Principal Balance of the Subordinated Certificates and (ii) the
     Overcollateralization Amount by (y) the aggregate Loan Balance of the Home
     Equity Loans as of the last day of the related Remittance Period.

APPLICATION OF MONTHLY EXCESS CASHFLOW AMOUNTS:
     Monthly Excess Cashflow Amounts which equal the sum of Monthly Excess
     Interest Amounts and Overcollateralization Release Amounts will be
     allocated in the following  priority:
     1.  Class A Interest Carry Forward Amount

     Payment Date 50% of the 60+ Day Delinquencies (including Bankruptcies,
     Foreclosures and REO properties) for Loan Group I and Loan Group II equals
     or exceeds the Senior Specified Enhancement Percentage (10.105% = 2.15 X
     4.70%).
 
    Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Delinquency Trigger Event, the
    Class A Certificates will receive 100% of all principal distribution
    amounts (excluding excess interest).

CUMULATIVE REALIZED LOSS TRIGGER EVENT:

NOTES:
(1)  The period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are
     contractually past due. The delinquency statistics for the period exclude
     loans in foreclosure, bankruptcy, real estate owned or forbearance.
(2)  The default percentage represent the ratio of the number or dollar value of
     delinquent home equity loans in foreclosure, bankruptcy, real estate owned
     or forbearance to the total number or dollar balance of the outstanding
     portfolio.
(3)  A reporting change was made in 1997 such that certain 90+ Day Delinquent
     Loans and Foreclosure Loans have been transferred to the Forbearance Loans
     category. Therefor the 1997 statistics are not directly comparable to the
     1996, 1995 and 1994 numbers.
