ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA:
We have examined management's assertion about Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's (the
"Company"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Advanta Corp., compliance
with the minimum servicing standards identified in the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America's UNIFORM SINGLE ATTESTATION PROGRAM FOR MORTGAGE BANKERS
(USAP) and that Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA had in effect fidelity bond coverage
in the amount of $15 million and mortgage contingent liability protection
coverage in the amount of $2 million as of and for the year ended December 31,
1997 included in the accompanying management assertion. Management is
responsible for Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's compliance with those minimum
servicing standards and for maintaining a fidelity bond and errors and omissions
policy. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion
about the entity's compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's
compliance with the minimum servicing standards and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does
not provide a legal determination on Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's compliance
with the minimum servicing standards.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA complied
with the aforementioned minimum servicing standards and that Advanta Mortgage
Corp. USA had in effect fidelity bond coverage in the amount of $15 million and
mortgage contingent liability protection coverage in the amount of $2 million as
of and for the year ended December 31, 1997 is fairly stated, in all material
respects.
