Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Description of the Certificates and the Mortgage Pool

                  On June 25, 2001, a single series of certificates, entitled
Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc., Floating Rate Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2001-1 (the "Certificates"), were issued pursuant to a
pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of June 1, 2001 (the "Agreement"),
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, among Ameriquest Mortgage Securities Inc. as
depositor (the "Depositor"), Ameriquest Mortgage Company ("Ameriquest") as
master servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer") and Bankers Trust
Company of California, N.A. as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Certificates consist
of six classes of certificates (collectively, the "Certificates"), designated as
the "Class A Certificates", the "Class M-1 Certificates", the "Class M-2
Certificates", the "Class CE Certificates", the "Class P Certificates" and the
"Class R Certificates." The Certificates evidence in the aggregate the entire
beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the "Trust Fund"), consisting
primarily of a segregated pool (the "Mortgage Pool") of conventional, one- to
four- family, fixed rate and adjustable rate, first lien mortgage loans having
original terms to maturity not greater than 30 years (the "Mortgage Loans"). The
Mortgage Pool consists of Mortgage Loans having an aggregate principal balance
of $239,276,377 as of June 1, 2001 (the "Cut-off Date"). The Mortgage Loans were
purchased pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement"), dated June 21, 2001, between Ameriquest Mortgage Company and the
Depositor. The Class A Certificates, the Class M-1 Certificates and the Class
M-2 Certificates were sold by the Depositor to Salomon Smith Barney Inc. (the
"Underwriter"), pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated June 21, 2001,
between the Depositor and the Underwriter.

                  The Certificates, other than the Class CE Certificates, the
Class P Certificates and the Class R Certificates and the Mortgage Loans are
more particularly described in the Prospectus, dated June 21, 2001 and the
Prospectus Supplement, dated June 21, 2001, as previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b). The Class CE
Certificates, Class P Certificates and the Class R Certificates have not been
and will not be publicly offered by the Depositor. Capitalized terms used but
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Prospectus Supplement.
