</TABLE>

The Series Two Bonds are collateralized by Certificates having annual pass-
through rates of 10.5%.  The par value of the Certificates outstanding at March
31, 1996, is $4,266,000.

The issuance of Series One and Two Bonds and related residual interests, and
the respective simultaneous delivery of the Certificates to State Street Bank
and Trust Company (the "Trustee) for the benefit of the Bondholders has been
accounted for as a sale of the Certificates, and the transaction resulted in no
gain or loss to the Company.  Accordingly, no statement of operations is
presented and the Bonds and the related Certificates do not appear in the
accompanying balance sheets.





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
Coughlin  & Company, Inc., an entity which has common ownership with the
Company, served as Underwriter for these issuances.  Another entity having the
same owners purchased the residual interest in the collateral securing the
Bonds.

NOTE 3 - CERTIFICATES HELD BY TRUSTEE

As required by the Indenture relating to the Bonds, the Certificates securing
the Bonds are held as collateral by the Trustee.  The Trustee collects
principal and interest payments on the Certificates and makes principal and
interest payments on the Bonds using a collection account, including
reinvestment earnings thereon, established for the Bonds.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to treat each issuance as a real estate mortgage
investment conduit for federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly, the Company
does not report any income or loss.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes
has been made in the accompanying financial statements


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

General

Mountain States Guaranty Mortgage Company is a corporation established under
the laws of Colorado on January 12, 1988.  The Company was created for the sole
purpose of the issuance and sale of collateralized mortgage obligations (the
"Bonds") secured by mortgage-backed certificates (the "Certificates").  The
Bonds represent obligations solely of the Company.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company's sources of funds with respect to the payment of Bonds are
receipts of principal and interest payments on the related Certificates.  It is
anticipated that payments of principal and interest on the Certificates
collateralizing the Bonds will provide sufficient funds for the payment of all
fees and expenses, including amounts necessary to make principal and interest
payments on the Bonds, and to retire the Bonds not later than their respective
stated maturities.

Results of Operations

For the period ended March 31, 1996, the Company did not recognize any gains on
issuance of Bonds.  Any excess of either receipts of principal and interest on
the related Certificates or debt service payments and other fees and expenses
will revert to the residual class of bondholders in each of the Series One,
Series Two, Series Three and Series Four Bonds and not to the Company.
