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. 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.

Available Funds Cap
Carry Forward Amount:         If, on any Payment Date, the Available Funds Cap
                              limits the Note Rate (i.e., the rate set by the
                              Available Funds Cap is less than the Formula
                              Note Rate which is defined in clause (x) of the
                              definition of Note Rate above), the amount of
                              any such shortfall will be carried forward and
                              be due and payable on future Payment Dates and
                              shall accrue interest at the applicable Formula
                              Note Rate, until paid (such shortfall, together
                              with such accrued interest, the "Available Funds
                              Cap Carry Forward Amount").

                              The Insurance Policy for the Notes does not
                              cover the Available Funds Cap Carry Forward
                              Amount; the payment of such amount may be funded
                              only from (i) any excess interest resulting from
                              the Available Funds Cap being in excess of the
                              Formula Note Rate on Future Payment Dates, and
                              (ii) any Net Monthly Excess Cashflow which would
                              otherwise be paid to the Servicer or the
                              Indenture Trustee on account of certain
                              reimburseable amounts, or to the Owners of the
                              Residual Interests.

                              Although Owners of the Notes will be entitled to
                              receive any Available Funds Cap Carry Forward
                              Amount from and to the extent of funds available
                              therefor as described herein, there is no
                              assurance that such funds will be available. The
                              failure to pay any Available Funds Cap Carry
                              Forward Amount due to a lack of funds therefor
                              will not constitute an Event of Default under
                              the Indenture. In addition, the Insurance Policy
                              does not cover, and the ratings of the notes do
                              not address the likelihood of the payment of any
                              Available Funds Cap Carry Forward Amount.

Credit Enhancement:           Credit enhancement with respect to the Notes
                              will be provided by (a) the
                              overcollateralization mechanics which utilize
                              the excess interest created by the internal
                              cashflows of the pool, and (b) the MBIA
                              Insurance Policy.

Credit Enhancement (Cont'd):  Overcollateralization: The required application
                              of the cashflow from the pool results in a
                              limited acceleration of the Notes relative to
                              the amortization of the Home Equity Loans in the
                              early months of the transaction. The accelerated
                              amortization is achieved by the application of
                              certain excess interest to the payment in
                              reduction of the Note Principal Balance. This
                              acceleration feature creates
                              overcollateralization (i.e., the excess of the
                              aggregate outstanding Loan Balance of the Home
                              Equity Loans over the Note Principal Balance).
                              Once the required level of overcollateralization
                              is reached, and subject to the provisions below,
                              the acceleration feature will cease unless
                              necessary to maintain the required level of
                              overcollateralization. The Sale and Servicing
                              Agreement provides that, subject to certain
                              floors, caps and triggers, the required level of
                              overcollateralization may increase or decrease
                              over time.

                              MBIA Insurance Policy: MBIA Insurance
                              Corporation (the "Note Insurer") will
                              unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the
                              timely payment of interest and ultimate payment
                              of principal on the Notes (i.e. after any losses
                              reduce the overcollateralization to zero, MBIA
                              will cover the excess, if any, of the Note
                              Principal Balance over the aggregate collateral
                              balance). The Insurance Policy does not
                              guarantee the payment of Available Funds Cap
                              Carry-Forward Amounts. The Insured Payments do
                              not cover Realized Losses except to the extent
                              that an Overcollateralization Deficit exists.
                              Insured Payments do not cover the Servicer's
                              failure to make Delinquency Advances except to
                              the extent that an Overcollateralization Deficit
                              would otherwise result therefrom. The Insurance
                              Policy is not cancelable for any reason.


Pre-Funding Account:          An amount not to exceed 25% of the aggregate
                              original principal balance of the Notes will be
                              placed in a pre-funding account for the
                              acquisition of additional home equity loans
                              during not longer than a [60-day] period
                              following the Closing Date. Sale proceeds will
                              also fund the Capitalized Interest Account.

Home Equity Loans:            The Home Equity Loans to be included in the
                              Trust on the Closing Date will consist of
                              adjustable rate conventional home equity loans
                              and the Mortgage Notes relating thereof. Fixed

                              however, the aggregate balance of the fixed rate
                              loans will not exceed [5]% of the aggregate
                              original principal balance of the Notes.

Servicing/Other Fees:         The collateral is subject to certain fees,
                              including a servicing fee of 0.50% per annum
                              payable monthly, Note Insurer fees, and trustee
                              fees.

Advancing by Servicer:        The Servicer is required to advance from its own
                              funds any delinquent payment of interest (not
                              principal) unless such interest is deemed to be
                              non-recoverable (the "Delinquency Advances").


Federal Tax Aspects:          No election will be made to treat the Trust
                              Estate or any portion thereof as a REMIC for
                              federal income tax purposes. The Notes will be
                              treated as non-recourse obligations of the
                              Issuer and the Issuer will not be characterized
                              as an association (or a publicly traded
                              partnership) taxable as a corporation. Investors
                              are advised to consult their tax advisors and to

ERISA Considerations:         Subject to the discussion in the Prospectus and
                              Prospectus Supplement, the Notes may be
                              purchased by employee benefit plans that are
                              subject to ERISA.

SMMEA Eligibility:            The Notes will not constitute "mortgage-related
                              securities" for purposes of SMMEA.

Prospectus:                   The Notes are being offered pursuant to a
                              Prospectus which includes a Prospectus
                              Supplement (together, the "Prospectus").
                              Complete information with respect to the Notes
                              and the collateral is contained in the

                              respects. Sales of the Notes may not be
                              consummated unless the purchaser has received
                              the Prospectus.
