to initiation of Swapco's transactions, and receivables
from counterparties that are not rated and not yet
approved by the rating agencies, are included as part of
Swapco's minimum required capital.
The average final maturity of Swapco's portfolio at
March 31, 1997 was 4.7 years. Notional amounts, by

Note 2. Hedge swaps
Hedge swaps which Swapco uses to protect itself from
market risk associated with investment securities which it
owns are not regarded as part of the company's
derivatives portfolio and, accordingly, are not included in
the data in Note 1 above. Like all other Swapco/SBHC
derivative transactions, however, hedge swaps are subject
to the Swapco/SBHC bilateral security agreement under
which Swapco is over-collateralized at all times.
