         Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

                  On or about March 30, 1998, the Registrant will cause the
         issuance and sale of approximately $555,000,000 initial principal
         amount of Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series
         1998-1, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class
         A-6, Class A-7, Class A-8, Class R-I and Class R-II (collectively, the
         "Certificates") pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be
         dated as of March 1, 1998, among the Registrant, Southern Pacific
         Funding Corporation, as master servicer, and Norwest Bank Minnesota,
         N.A., as trustee.

                  In connection with the sale of the Series 1998-1, 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 (collectively, the "Underwritten Certificates"),
         the Registrant has been advised by Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated,
         Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation and Lehman Brothers
         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.
         333-39039, which Computational Materials are being filed as exhibits to
         this report.

                    The Computational Materials have been provided by the
         Underwriters. The information in the Computational Materials is
         preliminary and may be superseded by the Prospectus Supplement relating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 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

         flow characteristics of the Underwritten Certificates.
