<FN>
NOTE:Contemporaneous with the merger of NationsBank Corporation and BankAmerica Corporation, 
NationsBank changed the timing of recognition of charge-offs on delinquent automobile loans 
in order to standardize its policy.  The effect of this change is that delinquent automobile 
loans will be charged off at 120 days past due.  Recoveries will be realized upon receipt of 
liquidation proceeds.  The estimated impact of this change is increased charge-offs of 
approximately $138,000.00 in October 1998.




The  undersigned  officers of NationsBank, N.A., as servicer, pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing  Agreement hereby certify to the best of their knowledge and belief that the 
above information is true  and  correct.
