     DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE


     Documents in Part II and Part IV incorporated herein by reference are as
     follows:

     Monthly Remittance Statement to the Certificateholders dated as of
     November 26, 2001, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     on Form 8-K on December 10, 2001.

     Monthly Remittance Statement to the Certificateholders dated as of
     December 26, 2001, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     on Form 8-K on January 7, 2002.

     PART I

     ITEM 1.  Business.

     The trust fund (the "Trust") created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement dated as of October 1, 2001 (the "Pooling and Servicing
     Agreement") among Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Capital I Inc., a Delaware
     corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), Fairbanks Capital Corp., a
     Utah corporation, as servicer (the "Servicer"), Aames Capital Corporation,
     a California corporation, as responsible party ("Responsible Party") and
     Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., a national banking association,
     as trustee, (the "Trustee").

     On the closing date, the trust will be created and the depositor will
     cause the trust to issue the certificates.  The certificates will be
     issued in eight classes, the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class M-1, Class M-2
     and Class B-1, Class P, Class X and Class R certificates.  Only the Class
     A-2, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B-1 certificates, collectively the
     "Offered Certificates" will be offered under the prospectus supplement
     dated August 15, 2001.  The Offered Certificates, together with the Class
     A-1 certificates, will be referred to as the "LIBOR Certificates".  The
     certificates will collectively represent the entire undivided ownership
     interest in the trust fund created and held under the pooling and
     servicing agreement, subject to the limits and priority of distribution
     provided for in that agreement.

     The trust fund consists of,

     The mortgage loans, together with the mortgage files relating thereto and
     all collections thereon and proceeds thereof collected on or after the
     cut-off date,

     Such assets as from time to time are identified as REO property and
     collections thereon and proceeds thereof, and

     Assets that are deposited in the accounts, and invested in accordance with
     the pooling and servicing agreement.

     Information with respect to the business of the Trust would not be
     meaningful because the only "business" of the Trust is the collection
     on the Mortgage Loans and distribution of payments on the Certificates to
     Certificateholders. This information is accurately summarized in the
     Monthly Reports to Certificateholders, which are filed on Form 8-K.
     There is no additional relevant information to report in response to Item
     101 of Regulation S-K.

     ITEM 2.  Properties.

     The Depositor owns no property.  The Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Capital I
     Inc. Trust 2001-AM1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-AM1,
     in the aggregate, represent the beneficial ownership in a Trust consisting
     primarily of the Mortgage Loans.  The Trust will acquire title to real
     estate only upon default of the mortgagors under the Mortgage Loan.
     Therefore, this item is inapplicable.

     ITEM 3.  Legal Proceedings.


     None.


     ITEM 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

     No matters were submitted to a vote of Certificateholders during the
     fiscal year covered by this report.


     PART II

     ITEM 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
     Matters.

     The Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Capital I Inc. Trust 2001-AM1 Mortgage
     Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-AM1 represents, in the aggregate,
     the beneficial ownership in a trust fund consisting of the Mortgage
     Certificates.  The Certificates are owned by Certificateholders as trust
     beneficiaries.  Strictly speaking, the Registrant has no "common equity,"
     but for purposes of this Item only, the Registrant's Morgan Stanley Dean
     Witter Capital I Inc. Trust 2001-AM1 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
     Series 2001-AM1 are treated as "common equity."

     (a)  Market Information.  There is no established public trading market
     for Registrant's Certificates.  Registrant believes the Certificates are
     traded primarily in intra-dealer markets and non-centralized inter-dealer
     markets.

     (b)  Holders.  The number of registered holders of all classes of
     Certificates on December 31, 2001 was: 4.

     (c)  Dividends.  Not applicable.  The information regarding dividends
     required by sub-paragraph (c) of Item 201 of Regulation S-K is
     inapplicable because the Trust does not pay dividends.  However,
     information as to distribution to Certificateholders is provided in the
     Monthly Reports to Certificateholders for each month of the fiscal year
     in which a distribution to Certificateholders was made.

     ITEM 6.  Selected Financial Data.

     Not Applicable.  Because of the limited activities of the Trust, the
     Selected Financial Data required by Item 301 of Regulation S-K does not
     add relevant information to that provided by the Monthly Reports to
     Certificateholders, which are filed on a monthly basis on Form 8-K.

     ITEM 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
     Results of Operations.

     Not Applicable.  The information required by Item 303 of Regulation S-K
     is inapplicable because the Trust does not have management per se, but
     rather the Trust has a Trustee who causes the preparation of the Monthly
     Reports to Certificateholders.  The information provided by the Monthly
     Reports to Certificateholders, which are filed on a monthly basis on
     Form 8-K, do not provide the relevant financial information regarding the
     financial status of the Trust.

     ITEM 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

     Monthly Remittance Statement to the Certificateholders dated as of
     November 26, 2001, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     on Form 8-K on December 10, 2001.

     Monthly Remittance Statement to the Certificateholders dated as of
     December 26, 2001, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     on Form 8-K on January 7, 2002.

     Annual Statement of Compliance by the Master Servicer will be
     subsequently filed on Form 10-K/A after October 15, 2002.

     Independent Accountant's Report on Servicer's will be subsequently filed
     on Form 10-K/A after October 15, 2002.

     ITEM 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
     Financial Disclosure.

     None.


     PART III

     ITEM 10.  Directors and Executive Officers of Registrant.

     Not Applicable.  The Trust does not have officers or directors.
     Therefore, the information required by items 401 and 405 of Regulation
     S-K are inapplicable.

     ITEM 11.  Executive Compensation.

     Not Applicable.  The Trust does not have officers or directors to whom
     compensation needs to be paid.  Therefore, the information required by
     item 402 of regulation S-K is inapplicable.

     ITEM 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

     (a)  Security ownership of certain beneficial owners.  Under the Pooling
     and Servicing Agreement governing the Trust, the holders of the
     Certificates generally do not have the right to vote and are prohibited
     from taking part in management of the Trust.  For purposes of this Item
     and Item 13 only, however, the Certificateholders are treated as "voting
     security" holders.

     As of December 31, 2001, the following are the only persons known to the
     Registrant to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of
     voting securities:

     (b)  Security ownership of management.  Not Applicable.  The Trust does
     not have any officers or directors.  Therefore, the information required
     by Item 403 of Regulation S-K is inapplicable.

     (c)  Changes in control.  Not Applicable.  Since Certificateholders do not
     possess, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the
     direction of the management and policies of the Trust, other than in
     respect to certain required consents regarding any amendments to the
     Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the information requested with respect to
     item 403 of Regulation S-K is inapplicable.

     ITEM 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

     (a)  Transactions with management and others.  Registrant knows of no
     transaction or series of transactions during the fiscal year ended
     December 31, 2001, or any currently proposed transaction or series of
     transactions, in an amount exceeding $60,000 involving the Registrant in
     which the Certificateholders identified in Item 12(a) had or will have a
     direct or indirect material interest.  There are no persons of the types
     described in Item 404(a)(1),(2) and (4) of Regulation S-K, however, the
     information required by Item 404(a)(3) of Regulation S-K is hereby
     incorporated by reference in Item 12 herein.

     (b)  Certain business relationships.  None.


     (c)  Indebtedness of management. Not Applicable.  The Trust does not have
     management consisting of any officers or directors.  Therefore, the
     information required by item 404 of Regulation S-K is inapplicable.

     (d)  Transactions with promoters.  Not Applicable.  The Trust does not use
     promoters.  Therefore, the information required by item 404 of Regulation
