                               September 30, 1996



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation:

         The financial information included herein should be read in
         conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
         notes of Resource Bancshares Mortgage Group, Inc. (the Company),
         included in the Company's December 31, 1995, Annual Report on Form
         10-K.  Certain financial information, which is normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles, is not required for interim financial
         statements and has been omitted.  The accompanying interim
         consolidated financial statements are unaudited.  However, in the
         opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of
         normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of operating
         results for the periods shown have been made.  Certain prior period
         amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period
         presentation.

         Prior to April 1, 1995, and in conjunction with the acquisition of
         mortgage loans, the Company capitalized as mortgage servicing rights
         the portion of the purchase price which represented the premium paid
         for the right to service the mortgage loans.  The amount capitalized
         was subsequently reduced if the mortgage loans were sold at a gain.
         Effective April 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.  122, "Accounting for Mortgage
         Servicing Rights-An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 65."  Accordingly,
         effective April 1, 1995, and as required by SFAS No. 122, the Company
         now allocates the total cost of a whole mortgage loan to the mortgage
         servicing right (MSR) and the loan (without servicing rights) based on
         relative fair values.  The amount capitalized is no longer required to
         be reduced if the mortgage loan is sold at a gain.  The market value
         of the servicing rights for purposes of allocating cost and evaluating
         impairments is estimated based upon forward committed delivery prices
         allocated thereto under the terms of existing contracts to sell the
         underlying MSRs.  The Company periodically assesses its capitalized
         MSRs for impairment (on a stratified basis) based on the fair values
         of those rights.  Impairment would be recognized as a valuation
         allowance for each impaired stratum.

ITEM 2.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Information, the Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Company (and the notes thereto) and the other information included or
incorporated by reference into the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K
and the interim Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.  To the
extent that any statement below (or elsewhere in this document) is not a
statement of historical fact and could be considered a forward-looking
statement, the "Risk Factors" discussion set forth in the Company's final
Prospectus dated March 11, 1996 identifies important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statement.

THE COMPANY

         Resource Bancshares Mortgage Group, Inc. (the Company), was organized
under Delaware law in 1992 to acquire and operate the mortgage banking business
of Resource Bancshares Corporation (RBC), which commenced operations in May
1989.  The assets and liabilities of the mortgage banking business of RBC were
transferred to the Company on June 3, 1993, when the Company sold 58% of its
common stock in an initial public offering.  As a result, RBC retained a
significant ownership interest in the Company.  As of September 30, 1996, RBC
owns approximately 38% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.

         The Company is principally engaged in the purchase and origination of
mortgage loans, which it aggregates into mortgage-backed securities issued or
guaranteed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), the Federal
National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the Government National Mortgage
Association (GNMA).  The Company sells the mortgage-backed securities it
creates to institutional purchasers with the rights to service the underlying
loans being retained by the Company.  The servicing rights retained are
generally sold separately but may be held for extended periods by the Company.

         Average estimated market share for the third quarter of 1996 was 1.23%
as compared to 1.39% for the comparable period of 1995.  Historically, the
Company was exclusively focused on purchasing loans through its correspondents.
In order to diversify its sources of loan volume, the Company started a
wholesale operation, which purchased its first loan in May of 1994, and a
retail operation, which originated its first loan in May of 1995.  Accordingly,
correspondent operations accounted for 76% of the Company's loan production and
0.94% of total market share for the third quarter of 1996 as compared to 87%
and 1.22% for the third quarter of 1995.

         The 24% decrease in correspondent loan production to $1.7 billion for
the third quarter of 1996 from $2.3 billion for the third quarter of 1995 was
primarily due to the nationwide decline in mortgage production which is related
to the mortgage interest rate environment, and the increase in the adjustable
rate mortgage (ARM) share of the U.S. market to an estimated 32% for the third
quarter of 1996 from an estimated 23% for the third quarter of 1995.  The
Company is primarily focused on purchase and origination of fixed rate 1-4
family residential mortgage loans.  As such, the Company is competitively
disadvantaged in economic environments which tend to favor originations of ARMs
(generally higher long-term fixed rate and steeper yield curve environments
tend to favor ARM originations) over fixed rate mortgages.  The number of 
approved correspondents increased by 158 or 23% to 849 at September 30, 1996,
from 691 at September 30, 1995.

         The $97 million increase in wholesale loan production to $341 million
for the third quarter of 1996 from $244 million for the third quarter of 1995
relates to the Company's expansion into these activities which began in May of
1994.  That is, during the third quarter of 1995, this division was still in
the latter phase of its initial startup stage.  Similarly, the numbers of
approved brokers, branches and employees has also increased significantly.

         The $1.4 billion or 27% increase in the average underlying unpaid
principal balance of mortgage loans being serviced for the third quarter of
1996 as compared to the third quarter of 1995 is primarily related to the
Company's acquisition of approximately $1.3 billion of servicing rights during
the third quarter of 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, COMPARED TO THE
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

SUMMARY

         Total revenues of the Company increased 100% to $94.9 million for the
first nine months of 1996 as compared to $47.4 million for the first nine
months of 1995.  The $47.5 million increase in revenues was primarily due to a
$7.4 million increase in net interest income and a $37.5 million increase in
gains on sales of loans and servicing rights, which were partially offset by a
$28.9 million increase in operating expenses (exclusive of amortization and
taxes).  The increase in net interest income is primarily due to the improved
net interest margins associated with the steeper 1996 yield curve environment
as well as increased year-to-date volume of loans originated and purchased.
The increase in gains on sales of loans and servicing rights is related to
improved production margins and increased loan production volumes for the first
nine months of 1996.  The increase in operating expenses is primarily
attributable to increased costs associated with increased loan production and
loan servicing volumes and increased costs associated with expansion into
wholesale and retail operations.  Direct costs related to the Company's
expansion into retail and wholesale operations account for approximately $7.5
million and $4.3 million, or 22% and 13%, respectively, of the total increase
in operating expenses for the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same
period of the prior year.

         The following sections discuss the components of the Company's results
of operations in greater detail.


NET INTEREST INCOME

         The following table analyzes net interest income in terms of rate and
volume variances of the interest spread for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, and 1995 (the difference between interest rates earned on loans and
mortgage-backed securities and interest rates paid on interest-bearing sources
of funds).  All dollars are in thousands; the information presented is

         Net interest income increased 137% to $12.8 million for the first nine
months of 1996 compared to $5.4 million for the first nine months of 1995.  The
$7.4 million increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to the
82% increase in the average volume of mortgages held for sale and
mortgage-backed securities for the first nine months of 1996 from that of the
first nine months of 1995. Net interest income



                                       11

also increased due to an increase in the interest-rate spread of 32 basis
points to 212 basis points for 1996 as compared to 180 basis points for 1995.

NET GAINS ON SALES OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

         Net gains on sales of mortgage loans and mortgage servicing rights
increased $37.5 million to $60.3 million for the first nine months of 1996 as
compared to $22.9 million for the first nine months of 1995.  As further
discussed below, this increase is primarily due to higher volumes of mortgage
loans and mortgage servicing rights sold during the first nine months of 1996
compared to the first nine months of 1995, as well as the effects of  increased
profit margins on sales.

         The Company sold loans during the first nine months of 1996 with an
aggregate unpaid principal balance of $8.3 billion compared to sales of $ 3.6
billion for the first nine months of  1995.  The amount of proceeds received on
sales of mortgage loans exceeded the initial unadjusted acquisition cost of the
loans sold by $8.4 million (10 basis points) for the first nine months of 1996
as opposed to a $0.3 million loss (-1 basis point) for the first nine months of
1995.  The Company received administrative fees of $26.9 million (33 basis
points) on these loans during the first nine months of 1996 and $8.9 million
(25 basis points) during the first nine months of 1995.  The Company had
allocated $24.3 million to basis in mortgage servicing rights for loans sold in
the first nine months of 1996 as compared to $9.2 million allocated to loans
sold in the first nine months of 1995.  This is a result of the adoption of
SFAS No. 122 for loans acquired after April 1, 1995. Also, there was no gain
deferred against mortgage servicing rights during the first nine months of 1996
due to the adoption of SFAS No. 122, while $0.9 million was deferred during the
comparable period of 1995.  As a result, net gain on sale of mortgage loans
increased to $59.3 million for the first nine months of 1996 versus $16.8
million for 1995.  This increase was primarily due to the 129% increase in the
volume of mortgage loans sold, as well as a 19 basis-point increase in the
unadjusted aggregate margin from 24 basis points for the first nine months of
1995 to 43 basis points for the first nine months of 1996.

         Although implementation of SFAS No. 122 accounts for a significant
portion of the increase in the amount reported as net gain on sale of mortgage
loans, implementation also accounts for a significant portion of the decrease
in the amount reported as gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights, as
discussed below.

</TABLE>


         During the first nine months of 1996, the Company completed 26 sales
of mortgage servicing rights representing $7.8 billion of underlying unpaid
principal mortgage loan balances.  This compares to 10 sales of mortgage
servicing rights representing $1.7 billion of underlying unpaid principal
mortgage loan balances in the first nine months of 1995.  Unadjusted gain on
sale of mortgage servicing rights was $24.9 million for the first nine months
of 1996, up from $5.2 million for 1995.  The Company reduced this unadjusted
gain by $23.9 million in the first nine months of 1996 due to the adoption of
SFAS No. 122 effective April 1, 1995.  Similarly, prior to adoption of SFAS No.
122, the Company recognized $3.6 million in previously deferred administrative
fees and gain on sales of mortgage loans.  As discussed above, SFAS No. 122
does not require that gains on sale of mortgage loans or administrative fees be
deferred as a reduction of basis in mortgage servicing rights.  Thus, the $5.1
million decline in gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights is primarily
related to adoption of SFAS No. 122.

NET SERVICING MARGIN

         Loan servicing fees were $21.4 million for the first nine months of
1996, compared to $17.4 million for the first nine months of 1995, an increase
of 23%.  This increase is primarily related to an increase in the average
aggregate underlying unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced to
$6.3 billion during the first nine months of 1996 from $4.6 billion during the
first nine months of 1995, an increase of 37%.  Similarly, amortization of
mortgage servicing rights also increased to $11.1 million during the first nine
months of 1996 from $6.6 million during the first nine months of 1995, an
increase of 68%.  The increase in amortization is primarily attributed to the
growth in the average balance of the mortgage loans serviced.  As a result, net
servicing margin decreased to $10.3 million during the first nine months of
1996, compared to $10.8 million during the first nine months of 1995, a
decrease of 5%.

         Included in loan servicing fees for the first nine months of 1996 and
the first nine months of 1995 are subservicing fees received by the Company of
$858,000 and $560,000, respectively.  The subservicing fees are associated with
temporary subservicing agreements between the Company and purchasers of
mortgage servicing rights.

nine months of  1996 and 1995:

OTHER INCOME

         Other income decreased by $1.3 million during the first nine months of
1996 compared to the first nine months of 1995, primarily due to the
prospective recharacterization of certain loan related gain and loss amounts in
connection with the implementation of SFAS No. 122.

EXPENSES

         The $28.9 million increase in operating expenses (excluding
amortization of mortgage servicing rights) was primarily comprised of a $19.3
million, or 104% increase in salary and employee benefits; as well as a $7.4
million, or 103% increase in general and administrative expenses.  The Company
increased its employee headcount by 664 from 364 at the beginning of 1995, to
1,028 at September 30, 1996.  The increased employee headcount, associated
increase in salary and employee benefit costs, as well as additional general
and administrative costs was necessitated by the Company's increased loan
production and average loan servicing volume, which were up 80% and 37%,
respectively.  Employee headcount attributable  to expansion of the wholesale
division and establishment of the retail division accounted for 304 of the total
664 increase and for $11.8 million of the total $33.3 million increase in
operating expenses for the comparative nine month period.

<PAGE>   15
INCOME TAX EXPENSE

         Income tax expense includes both federal and state income taxes.  The
effective tax rates for 1996 and 1995 were 37.9% and 38.3%, respectively.
Income tax expense increased by 106% to $10.3 million for the first nine months
of 1996 from $5.0 million for the first nine months of 1995 due to the
above-described factors that resulted in a 108% or $14.1 million increase in
income before taxes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, COMPARED TO THE
QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

SUMMARY

         Total revenues of the Company increased 35% to $32.2 million for the
third quarter of 1996 as compared to $23.9 million for the third quarter of
1995.  The $8.3 million increase in revenues was primarily due to a $1.3
million increase in net interest income and a $6.2 million increase in gains on
sales of loans and servicing rights, which were partially offset by a $4.7
million increase in operating expenses (exclusive of amortization and taxes).
The increase in net interest income is primarily due to improved net interest
margins associated with the steeper 1996 yield curve environment.  The increase
in gains on sales of loans and servicing rights is related to the Company's
improved production margins.  The increase in operating expenses is primarily
attributable to increased costs associated with increased loan servicing
volumes and increased costs associated with expansion in the wholesale and
retail operations.  Direct costs related to the Company's expansion in the
retail and wholesale operations account for approximately $0.8 million and $1.0
million, or 14% and 17%, respectively, of the total increase in operating
expenses for the third quarter of 1996 compared to the same period of the prior
year.

of operations in greater detail.

         Net interest income increased 42% to $4.5 million for the third
quarter of 1996 compared to $3.2 million for the third quarter of 1995.  The
$1.3 million increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to the
20% decrease in the average volume of debt for the third quarter of 1996 from
that of the third quarter of 1995.  The interest rate spread increased by 68
basis points to 248 basis points for 1996 as compared to 180 basis points for
1995.  The Company's long-term mortgages and mortgage-backed securities are
generally sold and replaced within 30 to 35 days.  Accordingly, the Company
generally borrows at rates based upon short-term indices, while its earning
asset yields are based upon long-term rate indices.  Thus, the increase in
interest-rate spread was primarily the result of larger spreads between
long-term and short-term rates in the third quarter of 1996 versus the third
quarter of 1995.

NET GAINS ON SALES OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

         Net gains on sales of mortgage loans and mortgage servicing rights
increased $6.2 million to $20.1 million for the third quarter of 1996 as
compared to $13.9 million for the third quarter of 1995.  As further discussed
below, this increase is primarily due to higher volumes of mortgage servicing
rights sold during the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of
1995 and the effects of improved profit margins on sales.

         The Company sold loans during the third quarter of 1996 with an
aggregate unpaid principal balance of $2.2 billion compared to sales of $2.4
billion for the third quarter of 1995.  The amount of proceeds received on
sales of mortgage loans exceeded the initial unadjusted acquisition cost of the
loans sold by $2.3 million (10 basis points) for the third quarter of 1996 as
compared to $0.3 million (1 basis point) for the third quarter of 1995.  The
Company received administrative fees of $8.2 million (37 basis points) on these
loans during the third quarter of 1996 and $5.9 million (25 basis points)
during the third quarter of 1995.  The Company had allocated $8.8 million to
basis in mortgage servicing rights for loans sold in the third quarter of 1996
as compared to $7.5 million allocated to loans sold in the third quarter of
1995.  This is a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 122 for loans acquired after
April 1, 1995.  As a result, net gain on sale of mortgage loans increased to
$19.3 million for the third quarter of 1996 versus $13.7 million for the third
quarter of 1995.  This increase was primarily due to the 21 basis-point
increase in the aggregate unadjusted margin from 26 basis points for the third
quarter of 1995 to 47 basis points for the third quarter of 1996.

</TABLE>


         During the third quarter of 1996, the Company completed 10 sales of
mortgage servicing rights representing $2.8 billion of underlying unpaid
principal mortgage loan balances.  This compares to four sales of mortgage
servicing rights representing $0.7 billion of underlying unpaid principal
mortgage loan balances in the third quarter of 1995.  Unadjusted gain on sale
of mortgage servicing rights was $12.4 million for the third quarter of 1996,
up from $2.9 million for 1995.  The Company reduced this unadjusted gain by
$11.6 million in the third quarter of 1996 due to the adoption of SFAS No. 122
effective April 1, 1995.

NET SERVICING MARGIN

         Loan servicing fees were $7.5 million for the third quarter of 1996,
compared to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 19%.
This increase is primarily related to an increase in the average aggregate
underlying unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced to $6.6 billion
during the third quarter of 1996 from $5.2 billion during the third quarter of
1995, an increase of 27%.  Similarly, amortization of mortgage servicing rights
also increased to $3.7 million during the third quarter of 1996 from $2.5
million during the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 52%.  The increase in
amortization is primarily attributed to the growth in the average balance of
the mortgage loans serviced.  As a result, net servicing margin remained
constant at $3.8 million during the third quarter of 1996, compared to $3.9
million during the third quarter of 1995.

         Included in loan servicing fees for the third quarter of 1996 and the
third quarter of 1995 are subservicing fees received by the Company of $180,000
and $187,000, respectively.  The subservicing fees are associated with
temporary subservicing agreements between the Company and purchasers of
mortgage servicing rights.

</TABLE>


OTHER INCOME

         Other income decreased by approximately $0.3 million during the third
quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of 1995, primarily due to the
prospective recharacterization of certain loan related gain and loss amounts in
connection with the implementation of SFAS No. 122.

EXPENSES

         The $4.7 million increase in operating expenses (excluding
amortization of mortgage servicing rights) was primarily comprised of a $2.5
million, or 25% increase in salary and employee benefits; as well as a $1.6
million or 49% increase in general and administrative expenses.  Through the
end of the third quarter of 1996, the Company increased its employee headcount
by 181 from 847 at September 30, 1995, to 1,028 at September 30, 1996.  The
increased employee headcount, associated increase in salary and employee
benefit costs, as well as additional general and administrative costs, was
necessitated by the Company's average loan servicing volume which was up 27%.
Employee headcount attributable  to expansion of the wholesale division and
establishment of the retail division accounted for 86 of the total 181 increase
and for $1.9 million of the total $6.0 million increase in operating expenses.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

         Income tax expense includes both federal and state income taxes.  The
effective tax rates for 1996 and 1995 were 37.0% and 38.2%, respectively.
Income tax expense increased by 28% to $3.6 million for the third quarter of
1996 from $2.8 million for the third quarter of 1995 due to the above-described
factors that resulted in a 32% or $2.4 million increase in income before taxes.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         During the latter part of March 1996, the Company completed a public
offering of 3,842,961 shares of common stock priced at $14.50 per share.  The
Company sold 2,530,000 shares in the offering, while certain stockholders sold
the remaining 1,312,961 shares.  In a concurrent private placement, the Company
sold an additional 896,552 shares of common stock at the offering price of
$14.50 per share to RBC, which owned approximately 41% of the Company's
outstanding common stock prior to the public offering and private placement and
approximately 38% immediately thereafter.  Net proceeds to the Company after
underwriting discounts and offering expenses totaled approximately $47.4
million.  Proceeds of the offering were used to repay indebtedness to RBC and
were otherwise used for other general corporate purposes, including the
continued growth and general expansion of the Company's business activities.

         During the third quarter of 1996, the Company continued to establish
new correspondent relationships.  The number of correspondents approved to do
business in the Company's correspondent lending program increased to 849 at
September 30, 1996 from 803 at June 30, 1996.

         The Company continued expanding during the third quarter of 1996.
There were approximately 2,147 wholesale brokers approved to do business with
the Company at September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately 1,694 at June
30, 1996.

         The Company's retail division, operating under the name of Intercounty
Mortgage, Inc., employed 201 people at September 30, 1996 with offices in New
York (4), New Jersey and Pennsylvania at September 30, 1996.

         The Company continues to face the same challenges as other companies
within the mortgage banking industry and as such is not immune from significant
volume declines precipitated by a rise in interest rates or other factors
beyond the Company's control.  Management of the Company recognizes these
challenges and continues to manage the Company accordingly.

         Mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities totaled
$742.8 million at September 30, 1996 versus $693.3 million at June 30, 1996, an
increase of 7%.  The Company's servicing portfolio (exclusive of loans under
subservicing agreements) increased to $6.5 billion at September 30, 1996 from
$5.9 billion at June 30, 1996, an increase of 10%.

         Short-term borrowings, which are the Company's primary source of
funds, totaled $732.2 million at September 30, 1996, compared to $684.0 million
at June 30, 1996, an increase of 7%.  The increase in the balance outstanding
at September 30, 1996, resulted from increased funding requirements related to
an increase in the balance of mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage-backed
securities at September 30, 1996.  At September 30, 1996 there are no long-term
borrowings.

         Other liabilities totaled $55.7 million as of September 30, 1996,
compared to the June 30, 1996, balance of $45.3 million, an increase of $10.4
million or 23%.  The increase in other liabilities resulted primarily from a
decrease at month end in the volume of loans acquired through certain
correspondent funding programs of the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's primary cash flow requirement involves the funding of
loan production, which is met primarily through external borrowings.  The
Company has entered into a 364-day, $570 million warehouse line of credit
provided by a syndicate of unaffiliated banks which expires in July 1997.  The
credit agreement includes covenants requiring the Company to maintain (i) a
minimum net worth of $130 million, plus net income subsequent to July 31, 1996
and capital contributions and minus permitted dividends, (ii) a ratio of total
liabilities to net worth of not more than 8.0 to 1.0, excluding debt incurred
pursuant to gestation and repurchase financing agreements, (iii) its 
eligibility as a servicer of GNMA, FHA, VA, FNMA and FHLMC mortgage loans and
(iv) a mortgage servicing rights portfolio with an underlying unpaid principal
balance of at least $4 billion.  The provisions of the agreement also restrict
the Company's ability (i) to pay dividends in any fiscal quarter which exceed
50% of the Company's net income for the quarter or (ii) to engage significantly
in any type of business unrelated to the mortgage banking business and the
servicing of mortgage loans.

         The Company has also entered into an uncomitted gestation financing
arrangement.  The interest rate on funds borrowed pursuant to the gestation
line is based on a spread over the Federal Funds rate.  The gestation line has
a funding limit of $1 billion.

         Additionally, the Company entered into a $200 million, 364-day term
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of unaffiliated banks.  An $80
million portion of the revolver facility converts on July 31,1997, into a
four-year term loan and the facility is secured by the Company's servicing
portfolio designated as "available-for sale".  A $70 million portion of the
revolver facility matures on July 31, 1997 and is secured by the Company's
servicing portfolio designated as "held-for-sale". A $50 million portion of the
revolver facility matures on July 31, 1997 and is secured by a first-priority
security interest in receivables on servicing rights sold.  The facility
includes covenants identical to those described above with respect to the
warehouse line of credit.

         The Company entered into a $6.6 million, 364-day revolving credit
facility secured by certain real property of the Company.  The facility
included covenants substantially the same as those described above with respect
to the warehouse line of credit.  This revolving credit facility expired in the
third quarter of 1996.

         The Company was in compliance with the covenants at September 30,
1996.  Although management anticipates continued compliance, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to comply with the debt covenants
specified for each of these financing agreements.  Failure to comply could
result in the loss of the related financing.

         Beginning in June 1995, the Company has from time to time borrowed up
to $19 million on a short-term unsecured basis from RBC.  Interest on these
borrowings is at the prime rate.  There was no indebtedness to RBC at September
30, 1996.  The Company has no plans in the foreseeable future to borrow from
