ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

NBC Capital Corporation

NBC Capital Corporation (the Company) is a multi-bank
holding company which was organized under the laws of the State
of Mississippi in 1984 and was reorganized in 1987 under the laws
of the State of Delaware. On July 2, 1984, the Company acquired
all of the outstanding common stock of the National Bank of
Commerce of Mississippi (NBC), a national banking corporation.
On January 1, 1994, the Company acquired 99.2% of the outstanding
common stock of First State Bank of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, a state
chartered bank. For the year ended December 31, 1995, these
financial institutions and their subsidiaries accounted for 100%
of the Company's consolidated income and approximately 99% of its
consolidated expenses.

National Bank of Commerce of Mississippi

NBC was originally formed through a series of mergers which
began in 1972 and concluded on October 1, 1974. In March, 1991,
NBC acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Bank
of Philadelphia, a $75 million institution. NBC operates under
the original Federal Charter granted to the First National Bank
of Monroe County in 1887.

NBC is the largest commercial bank domiciled in the eastern
area of the state known as the Golden Triangle. A total of 25
banking facilities and an operations center serve the communities
of Aberdeen, Amory, Artesia, Brooksville, Columbus, Hamilton,
Maben, Philadelphia and Starkville. This area extends into five
Mississippi counties with a radius of approximately 65 miles from
the home office in Starkville.

During 1995 and 1994, NBC engaged in the general banking
business and activities closely related to banking as authorized
by the banking laws and regulations of the United States. There
were no significant changes in the business activities of NBC
during these years.

NBC provides a complete line of wholesale and retail
services including mortgage loans and trust. The customer base
is well diversified and consists of business, industry,
agriculture, government, education and individual accounts.
Profitability and growth have been consistent throughout the
history of the bank.

NBC utilizes a written Asset/Liability Management Policy
which calls for maintaining the 24 month GAP within a tolerance
of + 5% - 10% of total assets. The financial plan calls for a
return on assets of 1.3% and a minimum return on equity of 10%.

NBC is operated in a conservative fashion while meeting the
needs of the community. There has been no disposition of any
material amounts of assets nor has there been a material change
in the mode of conducting business. No major changes in
operation are provided for the near future.


First State Bank of Tuscaloosa

First State Bank of Tuscaloosa (FSB) was organized in 1968
and is a state bank and operates under the requirements of the
laws of the State of Alabama.

FSB is located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, a city with a
population of approximately 75,000 people. FSB was acquired by
the Company on January 1, 1994. Management of the Company is of
the opinion that this acquisition provides for new opportunities
for growth and expansion. Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is a city that
expects future economic development. As an example, Mercedes is
building an automotive plant in the Tuscaloosa area. Management
of the Company believes the acquisition of FSB places the Company
in a position to participate in the economic development.

FSB competes with many other financial institutions in the
Tuscaloosa area, most of which are larger. FSB had total assets
of $78 million at December 31, 1995, and reported net income of
$616 thousand for the year ended December 31, 1995. The bank's
history has been one of moderate growth and average earnings when
compared to its peer group.

FSB is engaged in the general banking business and
activities closely related to banking as authorized by the
banking laws and regulations of its banking regulators, the State
of Alabama and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

FSB provides a complete line of wholesale and retail
services, including mortgage loans. The customer base consists
principally of business, industry and individual accounts.

The Company operates FSB in a conservative fashion while
meeting the needs of the community.

FSB has adopted the asset/liability management policy of
NBC. The financial plan calls for a return on assets of 1% and a
minimum return on equity (net of goodwill) of 10%.

NBC Service Corporation

NBC Service Corporation (Service) is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of NBC and was formed to provide additional financial
services that otherwise might not be provided by NBC. For the
years 1995 and 1994, its primary activity was limited to its
investment in Commerce National Insurance Company (CNI) of which
Service owns 79%. Commerce National Insurance Company is a
credit life insurance company whose primary source of income is
from premiums on credit life insurance on loans issued by NBC.

Philadelphia Finance Corporation

Philadelphia Finance Corporation (Finance), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of NBC, is a finance company that provides lending and
financing services to consumers. It engages in consumer
financing, and its loans are of a smaller amount and a higher
interest rate than that of NBC. Finance has one office located
in Philadelphia, Mississippi.

Competition

NBC and its subsidiaries currently serve five counties and
nine municipalities in North Mississippi. Over this same area,
the bank competes directly with approximately 15 competing
banking institutions, credit unions, finance companies, brokerage
firms, mortgage companies and insurance companies. The
institutions range in asset size of approximately $100 million to
in excess of $5 billion. NBC is the largest bank domiciled in
its immediate service area. Asset size of competitive banks
depends on whether the reference is made to the branch banks or
to their parent banks. Several other competitors are branches or
divisions of nationwide companies with more resources than the
Company and its subsidiaries.

FSB is located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and has a main office
and two branch locations. The bank competes with approximately
eight other financial institutions, most of which are larger.
The other institutions range in size from approximately $20
million to $15 billion. Asset size of the competitive banks
depends on whether reference is made to the branch banks or to
their parent bank. FSB also competes with numerous credit
unions, finance companies, etc., many of which are branches of
nationwide companies. The acquisition of FSB by the Company
provides FSB with access to resources, products, and services
previously unavailable, thereby improving its competitive
position.


Supervision and Regulation

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to state and
federal banking laws and regulations which impose specific
requirements or restrictions on and provide for general
regulatory oversight with respect to virtually all aspects of
operations. These laws and regulations are generally intended to
protect depositors, not shareholders. To the extent that the
following summary describes statutory or regulatory provisions,
it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular
statutory and regulatory provisions. Any change in applicable
laws or regulations may have a material effect on the business
and prospects of the Company. Beginning with the enactment of
the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act
of 1989 ("FIRREA") and following with Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA), which was enacted in 1991,
numerous additional regulatory requirements have been placed on
the banking industry in the past five years, and additional
changes have been proposed. The operations of the Company and
its subsidiaries may be affected by legislative changes and the
policies of various regulatory authorities. The Company is
unable to predict the nature or the extent of the effect on its
business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic
control, or new federal or state legislation may have in the
future.

The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the Act) and is registered
as such with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(the Federal Reserve Board). As a bank holding company, the
Company is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board an
annual report and such other information as may be required. The
Federal Reserve Board may also make examinations of the Company.
In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has the authority to
regulate provisions of certain bank holding company debt.

The Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the
prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring
substantially all the assets of or direct or indirect ownership
or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank which
is not already majority-owned. The Act also prohibits a bank
holding company, with certain exceptions, from engaging in or
acquiring direct or indirect control if more than 5% of the
voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities.
One of the principal exceptions to these prohibitions is for
engaging in or acquiring shares of a company engaged in
activities found by the Federal Reserve Board by order or
regulation to be so closely related to banking or managing banks
as to be a proper incident thereto. The Act prohibits the
acquisition by a bank holding company of more than 5% of the
outstanding voting shares of a bank located outside the state in
which the operations of its banking subsidiaries are principally
conducted, unless such an acquisition is specifically authorized
by statute of the state in which the bank to be acquired is
located. The Act and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board
also prohibit a bank holding company and its subsidiaries from
engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any
extension of credit or provision of any property or services.

As a bank holding company, the Company is required to give
the Federal Reserve prior written notice of any purchase or
redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross
consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with
the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions
during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10% or more of the
Company's consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may
disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that
the proposal constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice, would
violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve order or directive
or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the
Federal Reserve.

In accordance with Federal Reserve Board policy, the Company
is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the
subsidiaries. The Federal Reserve Board may require a bank
holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control
of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a
bank) upon the Federal Reserve Board's determination that such
activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial
soundness of stability of any subsidiary depository institution
of the bank holding company. Further, federal bank regulatory
authorities have additional discretion to require a bank holding
company to divest itself of any bank or nonbank subsidiary if the
agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository
institution's financial condition.

Dividends paid by the Company are substantially provided
from dividends from the banking subsidiaries. Generally, the
approval of the bank's regulator is required if the total of all
dividends declared by a bank in any calendar year exceeds the
total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained
net profits of the preceding two years. At December 31, 1995,
the banking subsidiaries had available for payment of dividends
to the Company, without prior approval of their regulator,
approximately $4.7 million.

The Federal Reserve Board, FDIC and Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) have established risk-based
capital guidelines for holding companies, such as the Company,
and banks. The capital-based regulatory framework contains five
categories of compliance with regulatory capital requirements,
including "well capitalized," adequately capitalized,"
undercapitalized," significantly undercapitalized," and
critically undercapitalized." The Company's strategy related to
risk-based capital is to maintain capital levels which will be
sufficient to qualify the Company's banking subsidiaries for the
"well capitalized" category under the guidelines set forth by the
FDICIA. Maintaining capital ratios at the "well capitalized"
level avoids certain restrictions which, for example, could
impact the Company's banking subsidiaries' FDIC assessment, trust
services and asset/liability management. At December 31, 1995,
the tier I and total capital ratios, respectively, for the Bank
were well above the minimum 6% and 10% levels required to be
categorized as a "well capitalized" insured depository
institution.

The FDIC, OCC and Federal Reserve Board have historically
had common capital adequacy guidelines involving minimum (a)
leverage capital and (b) risk-based capital requirements:

(a) The first requirement establishes a minimum ratio of
capital as a percentage of total assets. The FDIC, OCC, and
Federal Reserve Board require institutions to maintain a minimum
leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to total average
assets based on the institution's rating under the regulatory
CAMEL rating system. Institutions with CAMEL ratings of one that
are not anticipating or experiencing significant growth and have
well-diversified risk are required to maintain a minimum leverage
ratio of 3 percent. An additional 100 to 200 basis points are
required for all but these most highly rated institutions.

(b) The second requirement also establishes a minimum ratio
of capital as a percentage of total assets, but gives weight to
the relative risk of each asset. The FDIC, OCC, and Federal
Reserve Bank require institutions to maintain a minimum ratio of
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.0 percent. Banks
must also maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-
weighted assets of 8.0 percent. At December 31, 1995, the
Company's Tier 1 and total capital ratios were 15.4% and 16.6%,
respectively.

Under these guidelines, banks' and bank holding companies'
assets are given risk-weights of 0%, 20%, 50%, or 100%. In
addition, certain off-balance sheet items are given credit
conversion factors to convert them to asset equivalent amounts to
which an appropriate risk-weight will apply. These computations
result in the total risk-weighted assets. Most loans are
assigned to the 100% risk category, except for first mortgage
loans fully secured by residential property and, under certain
circumstances, residential construction loans, both of which
carry a 50% rating. Most investment securities are assigned to
the 20% category, except for municipal or state revenue bonds,
which have a 50% rating, and direct obligations of or obligations
guaranteed by the United States Treasury or United States
Government agencies, which have a 0% rating.

The primary supervisory authority of NBC is the OCC, and of
FSB is the FDIC. The OCC and FDIC regulate or monitor virtually
all areas of the Bank's operations, including security devices
and procedures, adequacy of capitalization and loss reserves,
loans, investments, borrowings, deposits, mergers, issuances of
securities, payment of dividends, interest rates payable on
deposits, interest rates or fees chargeable on loans,
establishment of branches, corporate reorganizations, maintenance
of books and records, and adequacy of staff training to carry on
safe lending and deposit gathering practices. The OCC and FDIC
also impose limitations on the aggregate investment in real
estate, bank premises, and furniture and fixtures. In addition
to regular examinations, the institution must furnish to its
regulator quarterly reports containing a full and accurate
statement of its affairs.

Banks are subject to the provisions of Section 23A of the
Federal Reserve Act, which place limits on the amount of loans or
extensions of credit to, or investments in, or certain other
transactions with, affiliates and on the amount of advances to
third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of
affiliates. The aggregate of all covered transactions is limited
in amount, as to any one affiliate, to 10% of the bank's capital
and surplus and, as to all affiliates combined, to 20% of the
bank's capital and surplus. Furthermore, within the foregoing
limitations as to amount, each covered transaction must meet
specified collateral requirements. Compliance is also required
with certain provisions designed to avoid the taking of low
quality assets.

Banks are also subject to the provisions of Section 23B of
the Federal Reserve Act which, among other things, prohibit an
institution from engaging in certain transactions with certain
affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the
same, or at least as favorable to such institution or its
subsidiaries, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with non-affiliated companies. The Bank is subject
is certain restrictions on extensions of credit to executive
officers, directors, certain principal shareholders, and their
related interests. Such extensions of credit (i) must be made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with third parties and (ii) must not involve more
than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable
features.

National banks are required by the National Bank Act to
adhere to branch office banking law, the Bank may open branches
throughout Mississippi with the prior approval of the OCC. In
addition, with prior regulatory approval, the Bank is able to
acquire existing banking operations in Mississippi. Furthermore,
federal legislation has recently been passed which permits
interstate branching. The new law permits out of state
acquisitions by bank holding companies (subject to veto by new
state law), interstate branching by banks if allowed by state
law, interstate merging by banks, and de novo branching by
national banks if allowed by state law.

The Community Reinvestment Act requires that, in connection
with examinations of financial institutions within their
respective jurisdictions, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, or the
OCC shall evaluate the record of the financial institutions in
meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including
low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe
and sound operation of those institutions. These factors are
also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and
applications to open a branch or facility.

Interest and certain other charges collected or contracted
by Banks are subject to state usuary laws and certain federal
laws concerning interest rates. The loan operations are also
subject to certain federal laws applicable to credit
transactions, such as the federal Truth-In-Lending Act, governing
disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers; the Home
Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions
to provide information to enable the public and public officials
to determine whether a financial institution will be fulfilling
its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it
serves; the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting
discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited
factors in extending credit; the Fair Credit Reporting Act of
1978, governing the use and provision of information to credit
reporting agencies; the Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the
manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection
agencies; and the rules and regulations of the various federal
agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such
federal laws. The deposit operations also are subject to the
Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain
confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes
procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of
financial records, and the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and
Regulation E issued by the Federal Reserve Board to implement
that act, which governs automatic deposits to and withdrawals
from deposit accounts and customers' rights and liabilities
arising from the use of automated teller machines and other
electronic banking services.

Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to
certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any
extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its
subsidiaries, on investments in stock or other securities thereof
and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for
loans to any borrower.

The bank subsidiaries are members of the FDIC and their
deposits are insured as provided by law.

Finance and CNI are subject to regulation by the applicable
state agencies. These agencies set reserve requirements,
reporting standards, and establish regulations, all of which
affect business operations.

Governmental Monetary Policies

As a bank chartered under the laws of the United States, NBC
is a member of the Federal Reserve System. The earnings of NBC
are affected by the fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal
Reserve System which regulates the national money supply in order
to mitigate recessionary and inflationary pressures. The
techniques used by the Federal Reserve System include setting the
reserve requirements of depository institutions and establishing
the discount rate on member bank borrowings. The Federal Reserve
System also conducts open market operations in United States
Government securities.

The policies of the Federal Reserve System and other
regulatory agencies have a direct effect on the amount of bank
loans and deposits, and the interest rates charged and paid
thereon. While the impact these policies may have upon the
future business and earnings of the financial institutions cannot
be accurately predicted, such policies can materially affect the
earnings of commercial banks.

Sources and Availability of Funds

The materials essential to the business of the Company and
its subsidiaries consist primarily of funds derived from deposits
and other borrowing in the financial markets. The availability
of funds is primarily dependent upon the economic policies of the
government, the economy in general and the institution's ability
to compete in the market place.

Seasonability

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are
dependent upon any seasons.

Dependence Upon A Single Customer

The Company nor any of its subsidiaries are dependent upon a
single customer or very few customers.

subsidiaries, National Bank of Commerce of Mississippi and First

3. There were no outstanding foreign loans at December 31, 1995.

4. Loans classified for regulatory purposes or for internal
credit review purposes that have not been disclosed in the
above table do not represent or result from trends or
uncertainties that management expects will materially
impact the financial condition of the Company or its
subsidiary banks, or their future operating results,
liquidity, or capital resources.

5. If all nonaccrual loans had been current throughout their
terms, interest income would have not been significantly
different for the years ended 1995, 1994, and 1993.

6. Management stringently monitors loans that are classified
as nonperforming. Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual
loans, loans past due 90 days or more, and loans
renegotiated or restructured because of a debtor's
financial difficulties. Loans are generally placed on
nonaccrual status if any of the following events occur:
1) the classification of a loan as nonaccrual internally
or regulatory examiners, 2) delinquency on principal for
90 days or more unless management is in the process of
collection, 3) a balance remains after repossession
of collateral, 4) notification of bankruptcy, or 5)
management's judgment that nonaccrual is
appropriate.

7. At December 31, 1995, management was not aware of any
potential problem loans not previously disclosed.

D. Other interest-bearing assets

There were no other interest-bearing non-performing assets at
December 31, 1995.

C. Loans and Risk Descriptions

Real Estate Loans

NBC and FSB originate loans secured by commercial real
estate, one-to-four family residential properties, and
multi-family dwelling units (5 or more units). At
December 31, 1995, these loans totaled $212 million or
approximately 60% of the loan portfolio.

NBC and FSB originate commercial real estate loans up
to 80% of the appraised value. Currently, it is the
philosophy to originate these loans only to selected
known borrowers and on properties in the market area.

Of primary concern in commercial real estate lending is
the borrower's credit worthiness and the feasibility and
cash flow potential of the project. To monitor cash
flows of borrowers, annual financial statements are
obtained from the borrower and loan guarantors, if any.
Although many banks have had significant losses in
commercial real estate lending, NBC and FSB have
sustained few losses, and those losses were not
significant relative to the size of the entire
commercial real estate loan portfolio at the time.

NBC and FSB originate loans secured by first and junior
liens on one-to-four family residences in their lending
areas. Typically, such loans are single family homes
that serve as the primary residence of the borrower.
Generally, these loans are originated in amounts up to
80% of the appraised value or selling price of the
property. In the past, very few losses from these types
of loans have been experienced.

Loans for multi-family (5 or more) residential
properties are generally secured by apartment buildings.
Loans secured by income properties are generally larger
and involve greater risk than residential loans because
payments are often dependent on the successful operation
or management of the properties. As a result, these
types of loans may be more sensitive to adverse
conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
Cash flow and financial statements are obtained from the
borrowers and any guarantors. Also, rent rolls are
often obtained.

Consumer and Other Loans

NBC and FSB offer consumer loans in the form of home
improvement loans, mobile home loans, automobile loans
and unsecured personal loans. These loans totalled $83
million or 24% of total loans at December 31, 1995.
Consumer loans are originated in order to provide a wide
range of financial services to customers and because the
terms and normally higher interest rates on such loans
help maintain a profitable spread between the average
loan yield and the cost of funds.

In connection with consumer loan applications, the
borrower's income statement and credit bureau report
are reviewed. In addition, the relationship of the loan
to the value of the collateral is considered. All
automobile loan applications are reviewed, as well as
the value of the unit which secured the loan.

NBC and FSB intend to continue to emphasize the
origination of consumer loans. Management believes that
its loan loss experience in connection with its consumer
loan portfolio is favorable in comparison to industry
averages.

NBC and FSB make commercial business loans on both a
secured and unsecured basis with terms which generally
do not exceed five years. Nonreal estate commercial
loans primarily consist of short-term loans for working
capital purposes, inventories, seasonal loans, lines of
credit and equipment loans. A personal guaranty of
payment by the principals of any borrowing entity is
often required and the financial statements and income
tax returns of the entity and its guarantors are
reviewed. At December 31, 1995, NBC and FSB's
commercial business loans represented approximately 13%
of its total loan portfolio.

D. For the year 1996, losses for all loan categories, as a
percentage of average loans, are expected to approximate
that of 1995.

IX. Interest Sensitivity Analysis

The following table reflects the year-end position of the
Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities which can either reprice or mature within the
designated time period. The interest rate sensitivity gaps
can vary from day-to-day and are not necessarily a
reflection of the future. In addition, certain assets and
liabilities within the same designated time period may
nonetheless reprice at different times and at different
levels.

Percent of total
interest-earning
assets (4.9%) (10.0%) 9.9%

The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by
examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities
are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an
institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap". An asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a
specific time period if it will mature or reprice within
that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is
defined as the difference between the amount of interest-
earning assets anticipated, based upon certain assumptions,
to mature or reprice within that time period. A gap is
considered positive when the amount of interest rate
sensitive assets maturing within a specific time frame
exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities
maturing within that same time frame. During a period of
falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result
in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap
would tend to adversely affect net interest income. In a
rising interest rate environment, an institution with a
positive gap would generally be expected, absent the
effects of other factors, to experience a greater increase
in the yield of its assets relative to the costs of its
liabilities and thus an increase in the institution's net
interest income would result whereas an institution with a
negative gap could experience the opposite results.

At December 31, 1995, total interest-earning assets
maturing or repricing within one year was less than
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within
the same time period by $29 million (cumulative),
representing a negative cumulative one year gap of 10% of
earning assets. Management of the Company believes this is
the proper position in the current interest rate
environment.

Banking regulators have recently issued advisories
concerning the management of interest rate risk (IRR). The
regulators consider that effective interest rate management
is an essential component of safe and sound banking
practices. To monitor its IRR, the Company's risk
management practices include (a) Risk Management, (b) Risk
Monitoring and (c) Risk Control.

Risk Management consists of a system in which a measurement
is taken of the amount of earnings at risk when interest
rates change. The Company does this by first preparing a
"base strategy" which is the position of the bank and its
forecasted earnings based upon the current interest rate
environment or, most likely, interest rate environment.
The IRR is then measured based upon hypothetical changes in
interest rates by measuring the impact such a change will
have on the "base strategy."

Risk monitoring consists of evaluating the "base strategy"
and the assumptions used in its development based upon the
current interest rate environment. This evaluation is
performed quarterly by management or more often in a
rapidly changing interest rate situation and monitored by
an Asset/Liability Management Committee.

Risk control is utilized based upon the setting of
guidelines as to the tolerance for interest rate exposure.
These guidelines are set by senior management and approved
by the board of directors.
