Report of Independent Accountants


To the Board of Directors and Stockholder
of Chase Mortgage Company West:

We have examined management's assertion about Chase Mortgage Company West's (the
"Company")  compliance  with  the  minimum  servicing  standards   ("standards")
identified  in the Mortgage  Bankers  Association  of America's  Uniform  Single
Attestation  Program for Mortgage  Bankers ("USAP") as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1999 included in the accompanying management assertion (See Exhibit
I).  Management is responsible  for the Company's  compliance with those minimum
servicing standards. 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 the Company's  compliance  with the
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 the
Company's compliance with the standards.

In  our  opinion,   management's   assertion  that,   except  for  instances  of
noncompliance described in management's assertion, the Company complied with the
aforementioned  standards  as of and for the year  ended  December  31,  1999 is
fairly stated in all material respects.

Instances of material  noncompliance  which occurred  during 1999 are more fully
discussed in management's assertion which is set forth in Exhibit I.

Management's Assertion Concerning Compliance
with USAP Minimum Servicing Standards

March 8, 2000

As of and for the year ended  December  31,  1999, Chase  Mortgage  Company West
("CMCW"),  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Chase  Mortgage  Company  ("CMC") has
complied in all material  respects  with the minimum  servicing  standards  (the
"Standards") set forth in the Mortgage Bankers  Association of America's Uniform
Single  Attestation  Program for Mortgage  Bankers ("USAP") except for standards
I.1, Custodial Bank Accounts, and V.3, Mortgage Loan Accounting.

During the year, reconciling items were not cleared within the 90 day timeframe,
explanations of reconciling  items were not provided and supervisory  review and
approval was not indicated on bank  reconciliations as required by standard I.1.
Effective December 1, 1999, a new tracking system was implemented to monitor and
resolve  reconciling  items  greater  than 90 days and resolve  them in a timely
manner. And, each reconciliation going forward is reviewed,  signed and dated by
the supervisor or lead.

During the year,  escrowed  loans which had not been  analyzed in over 12 months
existed  as  required  by  standard  V.3.  We  are   dedicating   resources  and
establishing  a plan and target date for  ensuring  that the "Loans not analyzed
report" is made current.

As of and for this same period, the Group had in effect fidelity bond and errors
and  omissions   policy  in  the  amounts  of  $250,000,000   and   $25,000,000,
respectively.
