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
State Treasurer's custodian for safekeeping. Investments maturing within 90 days of purchase 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.

All of the State's investments held at year-end are subject to classification except for those investments where
the State owns units of a whole rather than specific securities, such as the Deferred Compensation Plan and
mutual funds, which by their nature are not required to be categorized.

A. Governmental Fund Types, Expendable Trust and Agency Funds:

The bank deposits of the governmental fund types, expendable trust and agency funds as of June 30, 1991
were entirely insured or collateralized with securities held by the State or its agent in the State's name.

At June 30,1991 cash in the amount of $3,388,000 was maintained with fiscal agents and represents funds
transmitted to bond paying agents for which coupons have not been presented. These funds were entirely insured
or collateralized with securities held by the State or its agent in the State's name.

Investments of the Deferred Compensation Plan are stated at market value. All other investments are stated
at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts. Repurchase agreements aggregating
$714,839,000 (market value of collateral of $733,402,000), U. S. Treasury and agency obligations aggregating
$3,430,000 (market value of $3,443,000) and certificates of deposit aggregating $7,748,000 at June 30,1991, are
reported as cash and short-term investments in governmental fund types. Also reported as cash and short-term
investments is $21,845,000 of unexpended bond proceeds invested in tax-exempt money market trusts. The
collateral for the repurchase agreements is held by the State's agent in the State's name. The certificates of
deposit are covered by federal depository insurance.

The investments at June 30,1991 for the governmental fund types, expendable trust and agency funds are as

B. Enterprise and Pension Trust Funds:

The bank deposits of the enterprise funds as of June 30, 1991 were entirely insured or collateralized with
securities held by the fund or its agent in the fund's name.

The Pension Trust Fund's (Fund) cash deposits (including cash equivalents) are also categorized to give an
indication of the level of risk assumed at year-end. Category 1 includes deposits that are insured or collateralized
with securities held by the Fund's custodian in the name of the Fund. Category 2 includes deposits which are
collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent in the Fund's
name. Category 3 includes deposits that are uncollateralized. At June 30,1991, the Fund had deposits totalling
$790,265,000 and $154,807,000 categorized in Category 1 and Category 2, respectively.

Investments of the enterprise funds are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts. The investment policies for all enterprise funds, with the exception of the Community Development
Administration, are the same as those of the State Treasurer. The Community Development Administration, an
