    Note: 1. All repossessions occurred prior to the end of February 1998.
          2. The status identification of being "Closed" vs. being "Open" was
             as of April 1, 1998.
          3. Net loss calculation was based upon the information of recoveries
             on the (closed) loans as of April 1, 1998.
          4. Within each trust, the estimated net loss for open loans equals
             the number of open loans times the average net loss for closed
             loans.
          5. Net Loss Ratio equals the total estimated net loss divided by the
             adjusted pool size.
          6. The Net Loss Ratio for 97A was particularly high due to the fact
             that no deficiency coverage had been available for 97A1.
