         Report of Independent Accountants on Management's Assertion on
        Compliance with the Minimum Servicing Standards Set Forth in the
             Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers




The Board of Directors
Aames Financial Corporation


We have examined management's assertion that Aames Financial Corporation (the
Company) complied with the minimum servicing standards set forth in the Mortgage
Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers (USAP) during the year ended June 30, 1999, included in the accompanying
report titled Report of Management on Compliance with the Minimum Servicing
Standards Set Forth in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers. Management is responsible for the Company's compliance with those
requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's
assertions about the Company'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 those
requirements 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 specified requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Company complied with the
aforementioned requirements during the year ended June 30, 1999, is fairly
stated, in all material respects.
