STATEMENT REGARDING ASSUMPTIONS AS TO SECURITIES, PRICING ESTIMATES, 
AND OTHER INFORMATION

The information  contained in the attached  materials (the  "Information") may
include various forms of performance  analysis,  security  characteristics and
securities  pricing  estimates for the securities  addressed.  Please read and
understand  this  entire  statement  before  utilizing  the  Information.  The
Information is provided  solely by Bear Stearns,  not as agent for any issuer,
and although it may be based on data  supplied to it by an issuer,  the issuer
has not participated in its preparation and makes no representations regarding
its accuracy or  completeness.  Should you receive  Information that refers to
the "Statement  Regarding  Assumptions and Other Information," please refer to
this statement instead.

The Information is illustrative  and is not intended to predict actual results
which may  differ  substantially  from  those  reflected  in the  Information.
Performance   analysis  is  based  on  certain  assumptions  with  respect  to
significant factors that may prove not to be as assumed. You should understand
the assumptions  and evaluate  whether they are appropriate for your purposes.
Performance  results  are  based on  mathematical  models  that use  inputs to
calculate  results.  As  with  all  models,  results  may  vary  significantly
depending  upon the value of the inputs given.  Inputs to these models include
but are not limited to: prepayment  expectations  (economic prepayment models,
single  expected  lifetime  prepayments or a vector of periodic  prepayments),
interest  rate  assumptions  (parallel and  nonparallel  changes for different
maturity  instruments),   collateral  assumptions  (actual  pool  level  data,
aggregated pool level data,  reported factors or imputed factors),  volatility
assumptions   (historically   observed  or  implied   current)   and  reported
information  (paydown factors,  rate resets, and trustee  statements).  Models
used in any analysis may be proprietary  making the results  difficult for any
third party to reproduce.  Contact your registered representative for detailed
explanations of any modeling techniques employed in the Information.

The Information  addresses only certain  aspects of the applicable  security's
characteristics and thus does not provide a complete assessment.  As such, the
Information  may not reflect the impact of all structural  characteristics  of
the security, including call events and cash flow priorities at all prepayment
speeds and/or  interest  rates.  You should  consider  whether the behavior of
these securities should be tested as assumptions different from those included
in the  Information.  The assumptions  underlying the  Information,  including
structure and collateral, may be modified from time to time to reflect changed
circumstances. Any investment decision should be based only on the data in the
prospectus  and the  prospectus  supplement  or private  placement  memorandum
(Offering Documents) and the then current version of the Information. Offering
Documents contain data that is current as of their publication dates and after
publication  may no longer be complete or current..  Contact  your  registered
representative  for Offering  Documents,  current  Information  or  additional
materials,  including other models for performance analysis,  which are likely
to produce  different  results,  and any  further  explanation  regarding  the
Information.

Any pricing  estimates Bear Stearns has supplied at your request (a) represent
our view, at the time  determined,  of the investment  value of the securities
between the estimated bid and offer  levels,  the spread  between which may be
significant due to market  volatility or illiquidity,  (b) do not constitute a
bid by any person for any security, (c) may not constitute prices at which the
securities could have been purchased or sold in any market,  (d) have not been
confirmed by actual trades,  may vary from the value Bear Stearns  assigns any
such security while in its  inventory,  and may not take into account the size
of a position  you have in the  security,  and (e) may have been  derived from
matrix  pricing that uses data relating to other  securities  whose prices are
more  readily  ascertainable  to  produce a  hypothetical  price  based on the
estimated yield spread relationship between the securities.

General  Information:  The data  underlying the  Information has been obtained
from  sources  that we  believe  are  reliable,  but we do not  guarantee  the
accuracy of the underlying data or computations based thereon.  Bear, Stearns.
and/or  individuals  thereof may have positions in these  securities while the
Information is  circulating  or during such period may engage in  transactions
with the issuer or its affiliates.  We act as principal in  transactions  with
you, and accordingly,  you must determine the  appropriateness for you of such
transactions  and  address  any  legal,  tax,  or  accounting   considerations
applicable to you. Bear Stearns shall not be a fiduciary or advisor  unless we
have  agreed in writing to receive  compensation  specifically  to act in such
capacities. If you are subject to ERISA, the Information is being furnished on
the  condition  that it will  not  form a  primary  basis  for any  investment
decision.  The  Information  is  not a  solicitation  of  any  transaction  in
securities which may be made only by prospectus when required by law, in which
event you may obtain such prospectus from Bear Stearns.
