As a matter of policy, the State Treasurer does not invest in Federal Farm Credit or World Bank
Securities and current Maryland law does not permit the State Treasurer to invest in commercial paper or
bankers acceptances. A significant portion of the investments maintained by the State Treasurer consist of
repurchase agreements. Collateral which must be at least 102% of the face value of the repurchase agreement,
must be delivered to the custodian for the State Treasurer for safekeeping. Repurchase agreements are
reported in the financial statements as cash and short-term investments.

Investments are classified as to credit risk by the three categories described below:

Category 1 Insured or registered, or securities held by the State or its agent in the State's name.

Category 2 Uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty's trust department or
agent in the State's name.

Category 3 Uninsured and unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty, or by its trust
department or agent but not in the State's name.
