SSGA Institutional Money Market Funds

Notes to Financial Statements — February 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1.   Organization

The SSGA Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 3, 1987. The Trust operates under a Second Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated May 15, 2012 (the “Agreement”).

As of February 29, 2016, the Trust consisted of eleven (11) series and corresponding classes each of which have the same rights and privileges, including voting rights. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a $.001 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”):

 

Fund    Classes    Commencement of Operations:

SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund

(diversified)

   Class N    December 1, 1993

SSGA Prime Money Market Fund

(diversified)

   Class N    February 22, 1994

The financial statements of the remaining nine (9) series are presented in separate reports.

The SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and SSGA Prime Money Market Fund are considered to be money market funds pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. It is the Funds’ policy, as money market funds, to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00. However, there is no assurance the Funds will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share.

An investment in the Funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of shareholders’ investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”) served as independent registered certified public accounting firm through November 19, 2014. On November 19, 2014, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee of the Funds, the Funds’ Board of Trustees selected Ernst & Young LLP to replace Deloitte & Touche as the independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015.

The reports of Deloitte & Touche on the financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through November 19, 2014, there have been no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through November 19, 2014, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Funds requested and Deloitte & Touche furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the above statements. A copy of such letter was filed as Exhibit 77 to Form N-SAR for the period ended February 28, 2015.

 

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and

follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).

Security Valuation

The Funds’ securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts. The Funds may value securities for which market quotations are not readily available at “fair value,” as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board. The Board has adopted procedures concerning securities valuation, under which an Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) makes determinations as to whether market quotations are not readily available or do not otherwise accurately reflect the fair value of the security. The Committee, or a subgroup thereof, subject to oversight by the Board, may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when trading in a security has been suspended or halted. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, the value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Committee. The Committee will assist in overseeing the comparison of amortized cost to market-based value. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be received on the sale of the security.

Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation and under certain market conditions, the values reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments and it is possible that the differences could be material.

The Funds’ value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

   

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The Funds had no transfers between levels for period ended February 29, 2016. Unless otherwise indicated on the Schedule of Investments, the values of the securities of the Fund are determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from the sale of disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method.

Dividends and Distributions

Net investment income is declared daily and is payable as of the last business day of each month. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually, unless additional distributions are required for compliance with applicable tax regulations. The

amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.

Expenses

Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific fund, are applied to that fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the funds within the Trust.

Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it sells securities to the Funds to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time. The total amount received by the Funds on repurchase is calculated to exceed the price paid by the Funds, reflecting an agreed-upon market rate of interest for the period of time to the settlement date, and is not necessarily related to the interest rate on the underlying securities. The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government or Government Agency securities, but may consist of other securities. The value of the underlying securities, at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day, is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. Upon an event of default under the Master Repurchase Agreement, if the seller of securities under a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities (as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise) the Funds will seek to dispose of such securities; this action could involve losses, costs or delays. In addition, the proceeds of any such disposition may be less than the amount each Fund is owed under the repurchase agreement. The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements maturing within a specified date with domestic dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed to be creditworthy by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”).

Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify for and elect treatment as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying and electing, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent they distribute its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains, if any, the Funds will not be subject to federal excise tax. Income and capital gain distributions if any, are determined in accordance with income tax regulation which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The book tax differences were primarily attributable to equalization.

Management has reviewed the Funds tax positions for the open tax years as of August 31, 2015 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.

No income tax returns are currently under examination. Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their applications to the Funds’ facts and circumstances and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of tax liability.

 

3.   Fees and Compensation paid to Affiliates and other Related Party Transactions

Adviser and Affiliates

The Adviser manages the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement dated April 11, 2012, between the Trust and the Adviser. The Adviser and other advisory affiliates of State Street Corporation make up State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arm of State Street Corporation and its affiliated companies. The Adviser directs the investments of each Fund in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations. For these services, each Fund pays a fee to the Adviser, calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of its daily average net assets.

The Adviser is contractually obligated until December 31, 2016 to waive 0.05% of its 0.15% management fee on the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. Additionally, the Adviser is further contractually obligated until December 31, 2016 to waive its management fee and/or to reimburse the Fund for expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of nonrecurring account fees, extraordinary expenses, acquired fund fees and distribution, shareholder servicing, and sub-transfer agency fees) exceed 0.16% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be terminated prior to December 31, 2016 except with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The total amounts of the waiver and reimbursement for the period ended February 29, 2016 were $2,512,069 and $0, respectively. The Adviser does not have the ability to recover these amounts waived or reimbursed under this contractual agreement.

The Adviser is contractually obligated until December 31, 2016 to waive 0.05% of its 0.15% management fee on the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund. Additionally, the Adviser is further contractually obligated until December 31, 2016 to waive its management fee and/or to reimburse the Fund for expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses, acquired fund fees and distribution, shareholder servicing, and sub-transfer agency fees) exceed 0.15% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be terminated prior to December 31, 2016 except with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The total amounts of the waiver and reimbursement for the period ended February 29, 2016 were $1,436,093 and $294,370, respectively. The Adviser does not have the ability to recover these amounts waived or reimbursed under this contractual agreement.

The Adviser also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to avoid a negative yield (the “Voluntary Reduction”) which may vary from time to time and from fund to fund in the Adviser’s sole discretion. Under an agreement with the Trust relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the Funds have agreed to reimburse the Adviser for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on August 1, 2012, subject to certain limitations. A Fund will not be obligated to reimburse the Adviser more than three years after the end of the fiscal year for the Fund in which the Adviser provided a Voluntary Reduction; in respect of any business day for which the net annualized one-day yield is less than 0.00%; to the extent that the amount of the reimbursement to the Adviser on any day exceeds fifty percent of the yield (net of all expenses, exclusive of the reimbursement) of the Fund on that day; to the extent that the amount of such reimbursement would cause the Fund’s net yield to fall below the Fund’s minimum net yield as determined by the Adviser in its sole discretion; or in respect of any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that are necessary to maintain a Fund’s contractual total expense limit which is effective at the time of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. A reimbursement to the Adviser would increase fund expenses and negatively impact the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund’s and the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund’s future yield. There is no guarantee that the Voluntary Reduction will be in effect at any given time or that either the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund or the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund will be able to avoid a negative yield. Reimbursement payments by a fund to the Adviser in connection with the Voluntary Reduction are considered “extraordinary expenses” and are not subject to any contractual expense limitation agreement in effect for a Fund at the time of such payment. The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from a Fund. For the period ended February 29, 2016, the Adviser voluntarily waived $3,017,536 of its fee and reimbursed $0 of expenses on the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and voluntarily waived $0 of its fee and reimbursed $0 of expenses on the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund. Voluntary reductions subject to potential recovery by year of expiration are as follows:

Administrator and Sub-Administrator

SSGA FM serves as Administrator and State Street serves as Sub-Administrator. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement between the Trust on behalf of the Funds and SSGA FM, each Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s net assets. SSGA FM has contractually agreed to waive 0.01% of its administration fee. For the period ended, February 29, 2016, SSGA FM waived fees in the amount of $501,671 and $287,219 for the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund and SSGA Prime Money Market Fund, respectively. This waiver may not be terminated or modified except with the approval of the Board.

Distributor and Shareholder Servicing

State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor” or “SSGM”) serves as the Distributor of the Trust. The Trust, with the exception of the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund Class N shares, adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any shareholder servicing agent, as defined in the Plan, for services in connection with the distribution of shares of the Trust and the servicing of investor accounts.

With respect to the SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, to compensate the Distributor for the services it provides and for the expenses it bears in connection with the distribution of shares of the Fund, the Fund may make payments to the Distributor under a distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plan”). The Plan is a compensation plan that provides for payments at annual rates (based on average daily net assets) of 0.25%.

With respect to the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund, the Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Historical Class N Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under the Historical Class N Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any shareholder servicing agent, as defined in the Historical Class N Plan, for providing distribution and marketing services, for furnishing assistance to investors on an ongoing basis, and for the reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses charged by the Distributor in connection with the distribution and marketing of shares of the Trust and the servicing of investor accounts. Payments to the Distributor for the sale and distribution of Class N shares are not permitted by the Historical 12b-1 Plan to exceed 0.25% of the SSGA Prime Money Market Fund’s average net asset value per year.

Additionally, the Board approved the following limits on the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees the Distributor is reimbursed pursuant to the Historical Class N Plan:

 

      12b-1 Fee Limit  

SSGA Prime Money Market Fund

     0.05

Additionally, the Board approved the following limits on the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees paid to the Distributor:

 

      12b-1 Fee Limit  

SSGA U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund

     0.04

Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of a Fund’s assets, all shareholders share in that expense; however, because shareholders hold their shares through varying arrangements (for example, directly or through financial intermediaries), they may not share equally in the benefits of the Plan.

Each Fund listed in the table below has a shareholder servicing agreement during the reporting period with Wealth Management Systems, an entity related to State Street. For these services, Class N shares paid a maximum of 0.05% to Wealth Management Systems, based on the average daily value of all Class N shares held by their clients. For the period ended February 29, 2016, the Funds paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the agents:

Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services to the State Street Master Funds, State Street Institutional Investment Trust and SSGA Funds, a $141,500 annual base retainer in addition to $18,000 for each in-person meeting, $2,500 for the annual telephonic meeting in September, and $2,000 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Co-Chairmen each receive an additional $44,000 annual retainer. The Independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance. Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated among the Trusts and Funds overseen by the Trustees in a manner deemed equitable taking into consideration the relative net assets of the funds, subject to a $15,000 minimum per Fund. As of the date of this Shareholder Report, the Trustees were not paid pension or retirement benefits as part of SSGA Funds’ expenses.

The Trust’s officers are compensated by the Adviser and its affiliates.

6.   Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk

In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The value of securities

held by each Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations (credit risk). Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Fund.

 

7.   Rule Issuance

On July 23, 2014, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted amendments to the governing rules for money market funds. The amendments require that, following a two-year implementation timeframe, institutional prime and institutional tax exempt money market funds adopt a floating net asset value effective in October 2016. The rule changes also allow for certain liquidity-based redemption fees and gates, and include enhanced requirements for disclosure and stress testing. The degree to which a money market fund will be impacted by the rule amendments will depend upon the type of fund and type of investors (retail or institutional). At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Funds’ financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

8.   Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from September 1, 2015 to February 29, 2016.

The table below illustrates your Fund’s cost in two ways:

 

   

Based on actual fund return — This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

 

   

Based on hypothetical 5% return — This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

SSGA Money Market Funds

Notes to Financial Statements — February 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1.   Organization

The SSGA Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company, and was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 3, 1987. The Trust operates under a Second Amended and Restated Master Trust Agreement, dated May 15, 2012 (the “Agreement”).

As of February 29, 2016, the Trust consisted of eleven (11) series and corresponding classes each of which have the same rights and privileges, including voting rights. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a $.001 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”):

 

Fund    Classes    Commencement of Operations

SSGA Money Market Fund

(diversified)

   Class N    May 2, 1998

SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund

(diversified)

   Class N    March 1, 1991

The financial statements of the remaining nine (9) series are presented in separate reports.

The SSGA Money Market Fund and SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund are considered to be money market funds pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. It is the Funds’ policy, as money market funds, to maintain a stable net asset value per share of $1.00. However, there is no assurance the Funds will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share.

An investment in the Funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of shareholders’ investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”) served as independent registered certified public accounting firm through November 19, 2014. On November 19, 2014, upon recommendation by the Audit Committee of the Funds, the Funds’ Board of Trustees selected Ernst & Young LLP to replace Deloitte & Touche as the independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015.

The reports of Deloitte & Touche on the financial statements for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through November 19, 2014, there have been no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.

During the two most recent fiscal years and through November 19, 2014, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The Funds requested and Deloitte & Touche furnished a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the above statements. A copy of such letter was filed as Exhibit 77 to Form N-SAR for the period ended February 28, 2015.

 

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and

follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).

Security Valuation

The Funds’ securities are recorded on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method values a security at its cost on the date of purchase and, thereafter, assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any premiums or accretion of any discounts. The Funds may value securities for which market quotations are not readily available at “fair value,” as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board. The Board has adopted procedures concerning securities valuation, under which an Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) makes determinations as to whether market quotations are not readily available or do not otherwise accurately reflect the fair value of the security. The Committee, or a subgroup thereof, subject to oversight by the Board, may use fair value pricing in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, situations when trading in a security has been suspended or halted. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair value, the value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Committee. The Committee will assist in overseeing the comparison of amortized cost to market-based value. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be received on the sale of the security.

Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation and under certain market conditions, the values reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments and it is possible that the differences could be material.

The Funds’ value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

   

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The Funds had no transfers between levels for period ended February 29, 2016. Unless otherwise indicated on the Schedule of Investments, the values of the securities of the Fund are determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Investment Transactions and Income Recognition

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from the sale of disposition of investments are determined using the identified cost method.

Dividends and Distributions

Net investment income is declared daily and is payable as of the last business day of each month. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually, unless additional distributions are required for compliance with applicable tax regulations. The

amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.

Expenses

Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific fund, are applied to that fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the funds within the Trust.

Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement. A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the seller at the time it sells securities to the Funds to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time. The total amount received by the Funds on repurchase is calculated to exceed the price paid by the Funds, reflecting an agreed-upon market rate of interest for the period of time to the settlement date, and is not necessarily related to the interest rate on the underlying securities. The underlying securities are ordinarily United States Government or Government Agency securities, but may consist of other securities. The value of the underlying securities, at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day, is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. Upon an event of default under the Master Repurchase Agreement, if the seller of securities under a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities (as a result of its bankruptcy or otherwise) the Funds will seek to dispose of such securities; this action could involve losses, costs or delays. In addition, the proceeds of any such disposition may be less than the amount each Fund is owed under the repurchase agreement. The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements maturing within a specified date with domestic dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed to be creditworthy by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA FM” or the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of State Street Corporation and an affiliate of State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”).

Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify for and elect treatment as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying and electing, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent they distribute its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains, if any, the Funds will not be subject to federal excise tax. Income and capital gain distributions if any, are determined in accordance with income tax regulation which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The book tax differences were primarily attributable to equalization.

Management has reviewed the Funds tax positions for the open tax years as of August 31, 2015 and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.

No income tax returns are currently under examination. Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their applications to the Funds’ facts and circumstances and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of tax liability.

 

3.   Fees and Compensation paid to Affiliates and other Related Party Transactions

Adviser and Affiliates

The Adviser manages the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement dated April 11, 2012, between the Trust and the Adviser. The Adviser and other advisory affiliates of State Street Corporation make up State Street Global Advisors, the investment management arm of State Street Corporation and its affiliated companies. The Adviser directs

the investments of each Fund in accordance with their investment objectives, policies, and limitations. For these services, each Fund pays a fee to the Adviser, calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.25% of their daily net assets.

The Adviser is contractually obligated until December 31, 2016 to waive its management fee on the SSGA Money Market Fund and/or to reimburse the Fund for expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses, acquired fund fees and distribution, shareholder servicing, and sub-transfer agency fees) exceed 0.32% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be terminated prior to December 31, 2016 except with the approval of the Board. The total amounts of the waiver and reimbursement for the period ended February 29, 2016 were $507 and $0, respectively. The Adviser does not have the ability to recover these amounts waived or reimbursed under this contractual agreement.

The Adviser is contractually obligated until December 31, 2016 to waive its management fee on the SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund and/or to reimburse the Fund for expenses to the extent that total expenses (exclusive of non-recurring account fees, extraordinary expenses, acquired fund fees and distribution, shareholder servicing, and sub-transfer agency fees) exceed 0.32% of average daily net assets on an annual basis. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be terminated prior to December 31, 2016 except with the approval of the Board. The total amounts of the waiver and reimbursement for the period ended February 29, 2016 were $34,128 and $0, respectively. The Adviser does not have the ability to recover these amounts waived or reimbursed under this contractual agreement.

The Adviser also may voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to avoid a negative yield (the “Voluntary Reduction”) which may vary from time to time and from fund to fund in the Adviser’s sole discretion. Under an agreement with the Trust relating to the Voluntary Reduction, the Funds have agreed to reimburse the Adviser for the full dollar amount of any Voluntary Reduction beginning on August 1, 2012, subject to certain limitations. A Fund will not be obligated to reimburse the Adviser more than three years after the end of the fiscal year for the Fund in which the Adviser provided a Voluntary Reduction; in respect of any business day for which the net annualized one-day yield is less than 0.00%; to the extent that the amount of the reimbursement to the Adviser on any day exceeds fifty percent of the yield (net of all expenses, exclusive of the reimbursement) of the Fund on that day; to the extent that the amount of such reimbursement would cause the Fund’s net yield to fall below the Fund’s minimum net yield as determined by the Adviser in its sole discretion; or in respect of any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that are necessary to maintain a Fund’s contractual total expense limit which is effective at the time of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. A reimbursement to the Adviser would increase fund expenses and negatively impact the SSGA Money Market Fund’s and the SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund’s future yield. There is no guarantee that the Voluntary Reduction will be in effect at any given time or that either the SSGA Money Market Fund or the SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund will be able to avoid a negative yield. Reimbursement payments by a fund to the Adviser in connection with the Voluntary Reduction are considered “extraordinary expenses” and are not subject to any contractual expense limitation agreement in effect for a Fund at the time of such payment. The Adviser may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably waive receipt of any or all reimbursement amounts due from a Fund. For the period ended February 29, 2016, the Adviser waived $996,380 of its fee and reimbursed $0 of expenses on the SSGA Money Market Fund and waived $2,711,310 of its fee and reimbursed $0 of expenses on the SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund. Voluntary reductions subject to potential recovery by year of expiration are as follows:

number of positions and transactions plus out-of-pocket expenses. State Street is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation.

Administrator and Sub-Administrator

SSGA FM serves as Administrator and State Street serves as Sub-Administrator. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement between the Trust on behalf of the Funds and SSGA FM, each Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s net assets. SSGA FM has contractually agreed to waive 0.01% of its administration fee. For the period ended, February 29, 2016, SSGA FM waived fees in the amount of $160,803 and $141,543 for the SSGA Money Market Fund and SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund, respectively. This waiver may not be terminated or modified except with the approval of the Board.

Distributor and Shareholder Servicing

State Street Global Markets, LLC (the “Distributor” or “SSGM”) serves as the Distributor of the Trust. The Trust, with the exception of SSGA Prime Money Market Fund Class N shares, adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Trust is authorized to make payments to the Distributor, or any shareholder servicing agent, as defined in the Plan, for services in connection with the distribution of shares of the Trust and the servicing of investor accounts.

To compensate the Distributor for the services it provides and for the expenses it bears in connection with the distribution of shares of the Funds, each Fund may make payments to the Distributor under a distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plan”). The Plan is a compensation plan that provides for payments at annual rates (based on average daily net assets) of 0.25%.

Additionally, the Board approved the following limits on the amount of Rule 12b-1 fees paid to the Distributor:

 

      12b-1 Fee Limit  

SSGA Money Market Fund

     0.08

SSGA U.S. Government Money Market Fund

     0.08

Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of a Fund’s assets, all shareholders share in that expense; however, because shareholders hold their shares through varying arrangements (for example, directly or through financial intermediaries), they may not share equally in the benefits of the Plan.

With respect to the Class N shares, each Fund listed in the table below has a shareholder service agreements with the following entities: SSGM, Fiduciary Investors Services Division of State Street (“Fiduciary Investors Services”), High Net Worth Services Division of State Street (“High Net Worth Services”) and Wealth Management Systems (collectively, the “Agents”), as well as several unaffiliated service providers. For these services, the Funds and/or Distributor pay the Agents monthly fees at a maximum of 0.175% per annum of the average daily value of all Class N shares held by or for customers of these Agents. For the period ended February 29, 2016, each Fund’s Class N shares paid the following shareholder servicing expenses to the Agents:

The Fund(s) did not incur any expenses from Fiduciary Investors Services during the year.

 

4.   Trustees’ Fees

Independent Trustees are compensated on a calendar year basis. Any Trustee who is deemed to be an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Funds does not receive compensation from the Funds for his or her service as a Trustee.

Each Independent Trustee receives for his or her services to the State Street Master Funds, State Street Institutional Investment Trust and SSGA Funds, a $141,500 annual base retainer in addition to $18,000 for each in-person meeting, $2,500 for the annual telephonic meeting in September, and $2,000 for each telephonic meeting from the Trust. The Co-Chairmen each receive an additional $44,000 annual retainer. The independent Trustees are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance. Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated among the Trusts and Funds

6.   Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk

In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The value of securities held by each Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations (credit risk). Similar to credit

risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their value as recorded in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Fund.

 

7.   Rule Issuance

On July 23, 2014, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted amendments to the governing rules for money market funds. The amendments require that, following a two-year implementation timeframe, institutional prime and institutional tax exempt money market funds adopt a floating net asset value effective in October 2016. The rule changes also allow for certain liquidity-based redemption fees and gates, and include enhanced requirements for disclosure and stress testing. The degree to which a money market fund will be impacted by the rule amendments will depend upon the type of fund and type of investors (retail or institutional). At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the Funds’ financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

8.   Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), if applicable, on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from September 1, 2015 to February 29, 2016.

The table below illustrates your Fund’s cost in two ways:

 

   

Based on actual fund return — This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period”.

 

   

Based on hypothetical 5% return — This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a yearly return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales load charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical 5% return section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
