TO: Debra P. Connors

former Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer

of Capital Corporate Federal Credit Union

The National Credit Union Administration Board ("NCUA Board"), as a result of its comprehensive investigation of claims on behalf of Capital Corporate Federal Credit Union ("CapCorp"), contends as follows:

You served as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of CapCorp from 1985 through January 1995, and as a member of its Management Investment Committee from February 1994 through January 1995. As a result of your participation in meetings of the Management Investment Committee during 1994, you were aware of the condition of the CapCorp investment portfolio, were familiar with CapCorp's investment policies, and were involved in its investment decisions. By November 1994, CapCorp had incurred market value depreciation of approximately $100 million in its investment portfolio due to rising interest rates. NCUA concluded in January 1995, and still maintains, that such losses resulted from improper investment practices and activities by CapCorp, that the aforesaid losses posed a threat to the safety and soundness of CapCorp, and that CapCorp would not be able to meet the liquidity needs of its members.

For these reasons, among others, the NCUA Board placed CapCorp into conservatorship on January 31, 1995, and appointed itself conservator. Following $292 million in net withdrawals of regular shares and share certificates by CapCorp members (or 40% of total shares), and $249 million in borrowings (or 43%) required to meet share withdrawals and liquidate maturing debt, the NCUA Board, acting in its capacity as conservator of CapCorp, liquidated nearly all of the CapCorp investment portfolio. On April 12, 1995, the NCUA Board, acting in its capacity as conservator of CapCorp, placed CapCorp into liquidation and appointed itself liquidating agent.

The NCUA Board, by reason of the aforesaid contentions, concludes that you bear partial responsibility for the improper investment practices and activities that resulted in the market value depreciation of $100 million in CapCorp's investment portfolio.

Accordingly, the NCUA Board, in its capacity as regulator of federally-insured credit unions, hereby reminds you that it is incumbent upon each official of a federally-insured credit union to assume and fulfill his or her fiduciary responsibilities. Among these responsibilities is the duty to ensure compliance with the Federal Credit Union Act, 12 U.S.C. §1751 et seq., NCUA regulations, 12 C.F.R. §700 et seq., credit union by-laws and policies, as well as to follow prudent investment practices to ensure that such credit union operates in a safe and sound manner. The NCUA Board concludes that your failure as an official of CapCorp to ensure that CapCorp complied with its own investment policies and adhered to prudent industry standards, was a breach of your fiduciary duty to CapCorp.

This Letter of Reprimand is to be considered a formal supervisory warning. In the event you participate in future violations of the Federal Credit Union Act, NCUA regulations, credit union by-laws or policies as an official or other person participating in the conduct of the affairs of any federally-insured credit union. The NCUA Board is committed to exercising its authority to the full extent of the law to ensure that you comply and that you fully discharge your fiduciary responsibilities. Therefore, should you in the future breach your fiduciary duty to a federally-insured credit union, you will be subject to appropriately enhanced disciplinary action.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the NCUA Board, through its Secretary, hereby issues this Letter of Reprimand on this _____ day of December 1997.
