Chairman's Letter

 

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to present to you this semi-annual report for the Lehman Brothers Institutional Liquidity Funds for the period ended September 30, 2007. The report includes portfolio commentaries, listings of the Portfolios' investments, and their financial statements for the reporting period.

The period was marked by extreme volatility in both credit and equity markets, as the housing decline finally began to affect the broader fixed income markets. Beginning in July, reports of problems at two hedge funds began to unsettle investors, leading to a flight to the safety of Treasuries that dislocated short-term rates. After using a variety of available policy levers during the worst of the crisis, the Federal Reserve took strong action in September by cutting the Fed Funds rate by 50 basis points, in an effort to prevent credit issues from affecting the broader economy.

During the period, we introduced several new portfolios into the Institutional Liquidity Funds. Our new Portfolios are the Government Reserves Portfolio, the Tax-Exempt Portfolio and the Municipal Portfolio. As always, our goal is to offer competitive products that meet the specific needs of institutional investors.

The Portfolios performed admirably and as expected throughout the period. Our investment strategy combines a distinct process for interest rate risk management with dedicated credit research to build portfolios of high-quality securities that seek to respond quickly to changes in interest rates without sacrificing yield.

As always, we intend to proceed with caution to protect our clients' principal and maintain daily liquidity and diversification.

Sincerely,

LOGO

PETER SUNDMAN

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

Institutional Liquidity Funds Portfolio Commentaries

 

We are pleased to report that both the Money Market Portfolio Institutional Class and the Prime Portfolio Institutional Class delivered positive returns and outperformed the iMoneyNet Money Fund Report Taxable First Tier Institutional Average for the six months ended September 30, 2007.

The Federal Reserve remained on hold throughout most of the period, with rates at 5.25%. The minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee's March meeting (released in April) indicated the Fed's reluctance to cut rates, given the level of inflation-despite the slowing of the economy. However, market expectations for a rate cut remained in place, as seen by a gradual drop in short-term Treasury yields. In April, a demand and supply imbalance drove the yield on the three-month U.S. Treasury bill to its lowest level since June 2006, and this yield dropped lower still in June as prices increased. Beginning in July, worries about reports of large losses at hedge funds in the subprime and collateralized debt space led to a flight-to-quality bid for Treasuries and a slight widening of risk premiums in the market.

New challenges arose in July for the credit markets, as the perceived risk of owning corporate bonds soared. Investors became increasingly concerned about contagion to the broader market from the shakeout in subprime mortgages, leading to more investors taking refuge in Treasuries. Premiums for lending increased dramatically, as the excesses of a prolonged period of liquidity began to be removed from the market. While the Fed left rates unchanged at its August 7 meeting, citing the risk that inflation would "fail to moderate," the central bank did acknowledge the ongoing housing correction and tighter credit conditions as issues.

Shortly thereafter, in response to the deepening turmoil in the markets, the Fed lowered the Discount rate (the interest rate charged to banks), began accepting a wider range of collateral at the discount window and added substantial additional reserves to the banking system. These steps were seen by many as a "surgical approach," in which all the levers of monetary policy available to the Fed would be employed, in contrast to a hasty move to lower the Fed Funds rate.

September brought the release of August payroll figures, which were negative for the first time in four years, as well as a sharp revision to the prior two months' figures-and seen as apparent proof that the employment situation appeared to be worsening. (August payroll figures were adjusted upward in October) This, coupled with a housing market that continued to see declining prices and higher inventories, heightened the Fed's interest in preempting any material effects on economic growth.

As a result, the Fed reduced the Fed Funds rate by 50 basis points at its September meeting, marking its first rate reduction since 2003. The move to 4.75% was only the second time in the last 20 years that an easing cycle had commenced with a 50 basis point reduction. In taking rates lower, the Federal Open Market Committee commented that the action was "intended to help forestall some of the adverse effects on the broader economy that might otherwise arise from the disruptions in the financial markets." The committee added that it was prepared to "act as needed to foster price stability and sustainable economic growth."

After an impressive rally, the two-year U.S. Treasury note closed out September at below 4% for the first time since 2005, finishing the period yielding 3.99%, while the 10-year note finished at 4.59% and the three-month U.S. Treasury bill yielded 3.80%.

The U.S. economy has been extremely resilient thus far. However, we anticipate that further deterioration in the housing market will start to take its toll on the consumer and ultimately business investment. The market is suffering from a crisis of confidence, and while the Fed remains reluctant to take rates lower, we believe that the easing cycle may continue.

Institutional Liquidity Funds Portfolio Commentaries

 

We are pleased to report that the Government Portfolio Institutional Class and the Treasury Portfolio Institutional Class delivered positive returns and outperformed the iMoneyNet Money Fund Report Government & Agencies Institutional Average and the iMoneyNet Money Fund Report Treasury & Repo Institutional Average, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2007.

Institutional Liquidity Funds Portfolio Commentary

 

We are pleased to report that the Tax-Exempt Portfolio Institutional Class earned a positive return from its inception on September 10, 2007 through the period ended September 30, 2007.

 

The first 20 days of the Portfolio's operation coincided with one of the (for now) final acts of a market crisis that had held investors' attention for most of the summer. After holding the Fed Funds rate steady in June and August, despite the increasing turmoil, the Federal Reserve lowered this rate by 50 basis points in September, marking the first rate reduction since 2003. The Fed's move to 4.75% was only the second occasion in the last 20 years in which the Fed has commenced an easing cycle with a 50 basis point reduction. In taking rates lower, the Fed's Open Market Committee commented that its action "is intended to help forestall some of the adverse effects on the broader economy that might otherwise arise from the disruptions in the financial markets." The committee added that it is prepared to "act as needed to foster price stability and sustainable economic growth."

During the brief reporting period, weak payroll figures appeared to suggest that the employment situation was worsening. Viewing this, along with a housing market that continues to see declining prices and skyrocketing inventory, the Federal Reserve in lowering rates sought to preempt any material effects from the summer's tight liquidity conditions on economic growth.

The U.S. economy has been extremely resilient thus far. However, we anticipate that further deterioration in the housing market will start to take its toll on the consumer and ultimately business investment. The market is suffering from a crisis of confidence, and while the Fed remains reluctant to take rates lower, we believe that the easing cycle may continue.

During the brief reporting period, tax-exempt money market fund yields rose relative to the previous two months. While the lack of liquidity in the marketplace continues to affect short term yields, we have witnessed signs of normalcy returning to the money fund arena. We attribute the rising yields more to an abundant supply of paper in the market than to the credit crisis. Over the period, tax-exempt/taxable ratios looked unusually cheap for variable rate demand notes that reset both daily and weekly, and we expect non-traditional buyers to enter the marketplace going forward. We continue to maintain a duration neutral stance, with the Portfolio's weighted average maturity in a range of 25-30 days.

 

Tax-Exempt Portfolio

For the 20-day period from the inception of the Portfolio on September 10, 2007 through September 30, 2007, the Tax-Exempt Portfolio Institutional Class returned 0.21%. The Portfolio's Institutional Class closed the reporting period with a 3.75% seven-day current yield* and a 3.82% seven-day effective yield; this more closely reflects current earnings than six-month or one-year figures.

8 "Current yield" of a money market fund refers to the income generated by an investment in a Portfolio over a recent 7-day period. This income is then "annualized." The "effective yield" is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in the Portfolio is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "current yield" because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment. Yields of a money market fund will fluctuate and past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Tax-equivalent effective yield is the taxable effective yield that an investor would have had to receive in order to realize the same level of yield after federal income taxes at the highest federal tax rate, currently 35%, assuming that all of a Fund's income is exempt from federal income taxes. Unaudited performance data current to the most recent month-end are available by calling 888-556-9030 or visiting www.lehman.com/lbilf.

Information About Your Portfolio's Expenses

 

These tables are designed to provide information regarding costs related to your investments. All mutual funds incur operating expenses, which include each portfolio's proportionate share of expenses of its corresponding master series, administrative service fees and other expenses. The following examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period. The tables illustrate the portfolio's costs in two ways:

 

Actual Expenses and Performance:

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in dollars, based on the portfolio's actual performance during the period. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. 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 in the first section of the table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid over the period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes:

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return at 5% per year before expenses. This return is not the portfolio's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in these portfolios versus other funds. To do so, compare the expenses shown in this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Notes to Financial Statements Institutional Liquidity Funds (Unaudited)

 

Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

1 General: Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market"), Prime Portfolio ("Prime"), Government Portfolio ("Government"), Government Reserves Portfolio ("Government Reserves"), Treasury Portfolio ("Treasury"), Tax-Exempt Portfolio ("Tax-Exempt"), and Municipal Portfolio ("Municipal") (individually a "Portfolio," collectively, the "Portfolios"), are separate operating series of Lehman Brothers Institutional Liquidity Funds (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to a Trust Instrument dated October 1, 2004. The Trust is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"), as amended. Money Market, Prime, and Treasury had no operations until December 18, 2006, other than matters relating to their organization and registration of shares under the 1933 Act. Government had no operations until December 18, 2006, other than the matters relating to its organization and the sale to Neuberger Berman Management Inc., the Portfolio's investment manager ("Management"), on December 4, 2006 of 100,000 shares of beneficial interest of the Institutional Class for $100,000 ($1.00 per share). Government Reserves had no operations until July 9, 2007, other than matters relating to its organization and registration of shares under the 1933 Act. Tax-Exempt and Municipal had no operations until September 10, 2007, other than matters relating to their organization and registration of shares under the 1933 Act. Each Portfolio offers Institutional Class shares, Cash Management Class shares, Capital Class shares, Select Class shares, Administrative Class shares, Service Class shares, and Premier Class shares. The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders.

 

   The assets of each Portfolio belong only to that Portfolio, and the liabilities of each Portfolio are borne solely by that Portfolio and no other series of the Trust.

 

   Each Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its net investable assets in a Master Series of Institutional Liquidity Trust (each a "Master Series," collectively, the "Master Series") that has an investment objective identical to, and a name similar to, that of each respective Portfolio. Money Market invests in Money Market Master Series, Prime invests in Prime Master Series, Government invests in Government Master Series, Government Reserves invests in Government Reserves Master Series (commencement of operations July 9, 2007), Treasury invests in Treasury Master Series, Tax-Exempt invests in Tax-Exempt Master Series (commencement of operations September 10, 2007), and Municipal invests in Municipal Master Series (commencement of operations September 10, 2007). The value of each Portfolio's investment in its corresponding Master Series reflects the Portfolio's proportionate interest in the net assets of its corresponding Master Series (3.52% for Money Market, 64.22% for Prime, 65.50% for Government, 100.00% for Government Reserves, 100.00% for Treasury, 6.52% for Tax-Exempt, and 22.51% for Municipal, at September 30, 2007). The performance of each Portfolio is directly affected by the performance of its corresponding Master Series. The financial statements of the Master Series, including the Schedules of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Portfolios' financial statements.

 

   It is the policy of the Portfolios to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00; the Portfolios have adopted certain investment, valuation, and distribution policies, which conform to general industry practice, to enable them to do so. However, there is no assurance the Portfolios will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share. Each of these Portfolios complies with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act.

 

   The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

2 Portfolio valuation: Each Portfolio records its investment in its corresponding Master Series at value. Investment securities held by the corresponding Master Series are valued as indicated in the notes following the Master Series' Schedules of Investments.

 

30



 

3 Income tax information: The Portfolios are treated as separate entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of Money Market, Prime, Government, and Treasury to continue to qualify (and the intention of Government Reserves, Tax-Exempt, and Municipal to qualify) as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

 

   Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Master Series, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Portfolio as a whole.

 

   As determined on March 31, 2007, permanent differences resulting from different book and tax accounting for distribution redesignations and non-deductible 12b-1 fees were reclassified at fiscal year-end. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, net asset value or net asset value per share of each Portfolio.

 

   The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended March 31, 2007 was as follows:

 

     Distributions Paid From:
     Ordinary Income      Total
     2007      2007
Money Market    $1,492,525      $1,492,525
Prime    14,021,217      14,021,217
Government    6,555,363      6,555,363
Treasury    6,750,442      6,750,442

 

   As of March 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a U.S. federal income tax basis were as follows:

 

    

Undistributed

Ordinary

Income

  

Loss

Carryforwards

and Deferrals

     Total
Money Market    $113,102    $(110 )    $112,992
Prime    1,999,670    (6,250 )    1,993,420
Government    2,064,101    -      2,064,101
Treasury    2,037,384    -      2,037,384

 

   The difference between book and tax basis distributable earnings is attributable primarily to timing differences of distribution payments and post October loss deferrals.

 

   To the extent each Portfolio's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Portfolio not to distribute such gains. As determined on March 31, 2007, the Portfolios did not have unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains.

 

   Under current tax law, certain net capital losses realized after October 31 within the taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the period ended March 31, 2007, the Portfolios elected to defer the following net capital losses arising between December 18, 2006 and March 31, 2007:

 

Money Market    $(110 )
Prime    (6,250 )
Government    -  
Treasury    -  

 

31



 

4 Distributions to shareholders: Each Portfolio earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investment in its corresponding Master Series. It is the policy of each Portfolio to declare distributions from net investment income on each business day; such distributions are paid or reinvested monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, will be made annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-date.

 

5 Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds. Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio. Expenses of the Trust that are not directly attributed to a Portfolio are allocated among the series of the Trust, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the series can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributed to a Portfolio or the Trust, are allocated among the Portfolios and the other investment companies in the complex or series thereof, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each investment company in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly.

 

   Each Portfolio bears its proportionate share of its corresponding Master Series' expenses. Each Portfolio's expenses (other than those allocated to a class of the Portfolio) are allocated proportionally each day among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Expenses attributable to a specific class are allocated to that class.

 

6 Organization expenses: Costs incurred by certain Portfolios in connection with their organization, which amounted to approximately $26,456, $12,766, and $28,731 for Government Reserves, Tax-Exempt, and Municipal, respectively, have been borne by Management.

 

7 Other: All net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of a Master Series are allocated pro rata among its respective Portfolio and any other investors in the Master Series (including any other investment companies), if any.

 

8 Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Trust's organizational documents provide that its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust.

Note B-Management Fees, Administration Fees, Distribution Arrangements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

 

   Each Portfolio retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Portfolio pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement. Each Portfolio (except Tax-Exempt and Municipal) indirectly pays for investment management services through its investment in its corresponding Master Series at the annual rate of 0.08% of average daily net assets. Tax-Exempt and Municipal indirectly pay for investment management services through its investment in its corresponding Master Series at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of that Master Series' average daily net assets, 0.225% of the next $500 million, 0.20% of the next $500 million, 0.175% of the next $500 million, and 0.15% of average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. As a result of a waiver at the Master Series level, Tax-Exempt and Municipal indirectly received a management fee waiver so that the management fee was 0.08% of its average daily net assets, resulting in a reduction of expenses from the corresponding Master Series of $6,084 and $7,531 for Tax-Exempt and Municipal, respectively (see Note B of Notes to Financial Statements of the Master Series).

   For the Service and Premier Class of each Portfolio, Management acts as agent in arranging for the sale of class shares without commission and bears advertising and promotion expenses. The Board has adopted distribution plans (each a "Plan", collectively, the "Plans") with respect to these classes, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans provide that, as compensation for administrative and other services provided to these classes, Management's activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, Management receives from each of these classes a fee at the annual rate of 0.15% of such Service Class' and 0.25% of such Premier Class' average daily net assets. Management receives this amount to provide distribution and shareholder servicing for those classes and pays a portion of it to institutions that provide such services. Those institutions may use the payments for, among other purposes, compensating employees engaged in sales and/or shareholder servicing. The amount of fees paid by each class during any year maybe more or less than the cost of distribution and other services provided to that class. NASD rules limit the amount of annual distribution fees that may be paid by a mutual fund and impose a ceiling on the cumulative distribution fees paid. The Trust's Plans comply with those rules.

 

   The Trust, on behalf of each Portfolio, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with Management with respect to the Cash Management, Capital, Select, Administrative, Service and Premier Class of each Portfolio ("Shareholder Servicing Agreement"). Pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Agreement, Management provides to the shareholders and beneficial owners of the Cash Management, Capital, Select, Administrative, Service and Premier Class varying levels of shareholder services, some or all of which may be provided by banks, trust companies or other institutions that provide such shareholder services to their accounts ("Accounts") and their account holders and which have entered into a service agreement with Management (each, a "Service Organization"). Management may compensate a Service Organization for the shareholder services it provides to Accounts and account holders pursuant to such service agreement. The Shareholder Servicing Agreement requires each of the Cash Management, Capital, Select, Administrative, Service and Premier Class to compensate Management for the shareholder services provided to that Class. For the shareholder services provided pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Agreement, Management receives from the Cash Management, Capital, Select, Administrative, Service and Premier Class of each Portfolio a fee at the annual rate of 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.15%, 0.25%, 0.25%, 0.25%, respectively, of such Class' average daily net assets.

 

   Management has contractually undertaken to forgo current payment of fees and/or reimburse each respective class of each Portfolio for its operating expenses plus its pro rata portion of its corresponding Master Series' operating expenses (including the fees payable to Management but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) ("Operating Expenses") which exceed the expense limitation as detailed in the following table:

   Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management LLC ("LBAM"), sub-adviser to each Master Series, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a publicly-owned holding company. Several individuals who are officers and/or trustees of the Trust are also employees of LBAM and/or Management.

 

   Each Portfolio also has a distribution agreement with Management with respect to each class of shares.

Note E-Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

 

     In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will not have a material impact on the Portfolios' financial position or results of operations.

Note F-Unaudited Financial Information:

 

     The financial information included in this interim report is taken from the records of each Portfolio without audit by an independent registered public accounting firm. Annual reports contain audited financial statements.

Notes to Financial Highlights Institutional Liquidity Funds

(Unaudited)

 

The per share amounts and ratios which are shown reflect income and expenses, including the Portfolio's proportionate share of its corresponding Master Series' income and expenses.

 

Total return based on per share net asset value reflects the effects of changes in net asset value on the performance of the Portfolio during the fiscal period and assumes dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested. Results represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Current returns may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment returns and principal may fluctuate and shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than original cost. Total return would have been lower if Management had not reimbursed and/or waived certain expenses (see Note B of Notes to Financial Statements of Institutional Liquidity Funds).

 

After reimbursement and/or waiver of certain expenses by Management (see Note B of Notes to Financial Statements of Institutional Liquidity Funds). Had Management not undertaken such actions, the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets would have been:

Notes to Schedule of Investments Institutional Liquidity

Trust (Unaudited)

 

Investment securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates U.S. federal income tax cost.

 

@@ Municipal securities held by Municipal Master Series and Tax-Exempt Master Series are within the two highest rating categories assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's or, where not rated, are determined by the master series' investment manager to be of comparable quality. Approximately 90.9% and 89.1% of the municipal securities held by Municipal Master Series and Tax-Exempt Master Series, respectively, have credit enhancement features backing them, which the funds may rely on, such as letters of credit, insurance, or guarantees. Without these credit enhancement features the securities may or may not meet the quality standards of the fund. Pre-refunded bonds are supported by securities in escrow issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. The amount escrowed is sufficient to pay the periodic interest due and the principal of these bonds. Putable bonds give the funds the right to sell back the issue on the date specified.

 

Where no rating appears from any NRSRO, the security is deemed unrated for purposes of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each of these securities is an eligible security based on a comparable quality analysis performed by the Master Series' investment manager.

 

ñ Restricted security subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and have been deemed by the investment manager to be liquid. At September 30, 2007, these securities amounted to approximately $749,378,000 or 28.7% of net assets for Money Market Master Series, approximately $2,274,087,000 or 16.2% of net assets for Prime Master Series, approximately $200,070,000 or 9.3% of net assets for Tax-Exempt Master Series and approximately $22,480,000 or 3.9% of net assets for Municipal Master Series.

 

ß Security is guaranteed by the corporate or non-profit obligor.

 

µ Floating rate securities are securities whose yields vary with a designated market index or market rate. These securities are shown at their current rates as of September 30, 2007.

 

Ø All or a portion of this security was purchased on a when-issued basis. At September 30, 2007, these securities amounted to $20,020,000 for Government Reserves Master Series and $18,484,000 for Tax-Exempt Master Series, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements Institutional Liquidity Trust (Unaudited)

 

Note A-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

1 General: The Money Market Master Series, Prime Master Series, Government Master Series, Government Reserves Master Series, Treasury Master Series, Tax-Exempt Master Series and Municipal Master Series (individually a "Master Series," collectively, the "Master Series") are separate operating series of Institutional Liquidity Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to a Trust Instrument dated October 1, 2004. The Trust is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Government Master Series had no operations until December 18, 2006 other than matters relating to its organization and the contribution of beneficial interest from the Institutional Class of Government Portfolio of $100,000 on December 4, 2006. Each of Government Reserves Master Series, Treasury Master Series, Tax-Exempt Master Series and Municipal Master Series had no operations until July 9, 2007, December 18, 2006, September 10, 2007 and September 10, 2007, respectively other than matters relating to its organization.

 

   Other investment companies sponsored by Neuberger Berman Management Inc. ("Management") and Lehman Brothers Asset Management LLC ("LBAM"), the sub-adviser to the Master Series, whose financial statements are not presented herein, also invest in the Master Series.

 

   The assets of each Master Series belong only to that Master Series, and the liabilities of each Master Series are borne solely by that Master Series and no other series of the Trust.

 

   The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

2 Portfolio valuation: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the notes following the Master Series' Schedule of Investments.

 

3 Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable), and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations.

 

4 Income tax information: It is the policy of the Money Market Master Series, Prime Master Series, Government Master Series, and Treasury Master Series, and it is the intention of Government Reserves Master Series, Tax-Exempt Master Series and Municipal Master Series, to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. It is also the policy of the Money Market Master Series, Prime Master Series, Government Master Series, and Treasury Master Series, and the intention of Government Reserves Master Series, Tax-Exempt Master Series and Municipal Master Series to conduct their operations so that each of its investors that are regulated investment companies and invest substantially all of their net investable assets therein will continue to qualify as such for Money Market Master Series, Prime Master Series, Government Master Series, and Treasury Master Series and so that its investors will be able to qualify as a regulated investment company for Government Reserves Master Series, Tax-Exempt Master Series and Municipal Master Series. Each Master Series will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to U.S. federal income tax.

 

126



 

5 Concentration of risk: Money Market Master Series and Prime Master Series normally concentrate in the financial services industries; therefore, factors influencing the health of those industries could have a significant negative effect on these Master Series' performance. These may include economic trends, governmental action, changes in interest rates, as well as the availability and cost of capital funds.

 

6 Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds. Expenses directly attributable to a Master Series are charged to that Master Series. Expenses of the Trust that are not directly attributed to a series of the Trust are allocated among the series of the Trust, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the series can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributed to a Master Series or the Trust, are allocated among the Master Series and the other investment companies in the complex or series thereof, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each investment company in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly.

 

7 Repurchase agreements: Each Master Series may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that Management has determined are creditworthy. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. Each Master Series requires that the securities purchased in a repurchase agreement be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the Master Series to assert a perfected security interest in those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. Each Master Series monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the securities transferred to ensure that their value, including accrued interest, is greater than amounts owed to the Master Series under each such repurchase agreement.

 

8 Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Trust's organizational documents provide that its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust.

Note B-Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

 

   Each Master Series retains Management as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, each Master Series (except Tax-Exempt and Municipal) pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.08% of its average daily net assets. Tax-Exempt and Municipal pay Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of average daily net assets, 0.225% of the next $500 million, 0.20% of the next $500 million, 0.175% of the next $500 million, and 0.15% of average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. Management contractually agreed to waive its management fee so that the management fee was 0.08% of its average daily net assets for Tax-Exempt and Municipal. For the period ended September 30, 2007, such waived fees amounted to $155,568 for Tax-Exempt and $54,293 for Municipal, respectively.

 

   Management and LBAM, the sub-adviser to the Master Series, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a publicly-owned holding company. LBAM is retained by Management to provide day-to-day investment management services. LBAM, as sub-adviser to each Master Series, receives a monthly fee paid by Management, based on an annual rate of each Master Series' average daily net assets. The Master Series do not pay a fee directly to LBAM for such services. As investment adviser, Management is responsible for overseeing the investment activities of LBAM. Several individuals who are officers and/or trustees of the Trust are also employees of LBAM and/or Management.

 

  

Each Master Series has an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. For the six months ended September 30, 2007, the impact of this arrangement was a reduction of expenses of $67,219, $129,174, $20,040, $491, $21,185, $95,949 and $21,991 for Money Market Master Series, Prime Master Series,

Government Master Series, Government Reserves Master Series, Treasury Master Series, Tax-Exempt Master Series and Municipal Master Series, respectively.

Note C-Securities Transactions:

 

   All securities transactions for Money Market Master Series, Prime Master Series, Government Master Series, Government Reserves Master Series, Treasury Master Series, Tax-Exempt Master Series and Municipal Master Series, were short-term.

Note D-Line of Credit:

 

   On May 25, 2007 the Master Series became a participant in a single committed, unsecured $300,000,000 line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") and Bank of New York, as agent, to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. Other investment companies managed by Management also participate in this line of credit on the same terms. Interest is charged on borrowings under this agreement at the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 0.375% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.075% per annum of the unused available line of credit is charged, of which the Master Series has agreed to pay its pro rata share, based on the ratio of its individual net assets to the net assets of all participants at the time the fee is due and payable. The fee is paid quarterly in arrears. Because several investment companies participate, there is no assurance that an individual Master Series will have access to all or any part of the $300,000,000 at any particular time.

 

   On September 27, 2007 the Master Series became a participant in a single uncommitted, unsecured $150,000,000 line of credit with State Street, as lender, to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. Other investment companies managed by Management also participate in this line of credit on the same terms. Interest is charged on borrowings under this agreement at the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 0.375% per annum. Because several investment companies participate, there is no assurance that an individual Master Series will have access to all or any part of the $150,000,000 at any particular time.

 

   The Master Series had no loans outstanding pursuant to either line of credit at September 30, 2007. During the six months ended September 30, 2007, the Master Series did not utilize either line of credit.

Note E-Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

 

   In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will not have a material impact on the Master Series' financial position or results of operations.

Note F-Unaudited Financial Information:

 

   The financial information included in this interim report is taken from the records of each Master Series without audit by an independent registered public accounting firm. Annual reports contain audited financial statements.

Board Consideration of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Money Market, Prime, Government and Treasury Portfolios and Master Series)

At a meeting held on September 27, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Institutional Liquidity Trust ("Board"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Neuberger Berman Management Inc. ("Management") (including its affiliates) or Institutional Liquidity Trust ("Independent Fund Trustees"), approved the continuance of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements ("Agreements") between Management and Institutional Liquidity Trust, on behalf of Money Market Master Series, Prime Master Series, Government Master Series and Treasury Master Series (each, a "Master Series"). Each of Money Market Portfolio, Prime Portfolio, Government Portfolio and Treasury Portfolio (each, a "Feeder Portfolio") invests all of its net investable assets in Money Market Master Series, Prime Master Series, Government Master Series and Treasury Master Series, respectively. The term "Fund" is used throughout this section to refer to each Feeder Portfolio or its corresponding Master Series, as appropriate.

In evaluating the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed materials furnished by Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management LLC ("Lehman Brothers Asset Management") in response to questions submitted by counsel to the Independent Fund Trustees, and met with senior representatives of Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management regarding their personnel and operations. The Independent Fund Trustees were advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management. The Independent Fund Trustees received a memorandum from independent counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuance of the Agreements. They met with such counsel separately from representatives of Management to discuss the annual contract review. The annual contract review extends over two regular meetings of the Board to ensure that Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management have time to respond to any questions the Independent Fund Trustees may have on their initial review of the report and that the Independent Fund Trustees have time to consider those responses. In addition, during this process, the Board held a separate meeting devoted to reviewing and discussing Fund performance.

The Board considered the following factors, among others, in connection with its approval of the continuance of the Agreements: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management; (2) the performance of each Fund or similar funds managed by Management compared to a relevant market index and a peer group of investment companies; (3) the costs of the services provided and profits or losses realized by Management and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as each Fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of investors in each Fund. In their deliberations, the Board members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

 

138



 

The Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to each Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the performance of each Fund or similar funds managed by Management. The Board considered the experience and staffing of portfolio management and the investment research personnel of Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management who perform services for the Funds. The Board noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance oversight. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management, as the firm has been free of significant compliance problems.

With respect to the performance of Money Market Master Series and Prime Master Series, the Board considered the performance of each Fund relative to its benchmark and a peer group of investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies. The Board also considered the previous performance of Management in managing Neuberger Berman Institutional Cash Fund, a former series of Lehman Brothers Income Funds and the predecessor to Neuberger Berman Institutional Cash Fund, a series of Neuberger Berman Institutional Liquidity Series, which also invests in Money Market Master Series. The Board also considered performance in relation to the degree of risk undertaken by the portfolio managers.

With respect to the performance of Government Master Series and Treasury Master Series, since each Fund had less than a year of performance information, the Board considered the performance of a broadly similar fund managed by Management relative to its benchmark and a peer group of investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies as each Fund.

With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under the Agreements as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to Management or Lehman Brothers Asset Management or their affiliates from their relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered the profitability of Management and its affiliates from their association with Money Market Master Series and Prime Master Series.

The Board reviewed a comparison of each Fund's management fee and overall expense ratio to a peer group of comparable funds. The Board considered the mean and median of the management fees and expense ratios of each peer group. In addition, the Board considered the contractual limits on Fund expenses undertaken by Management for the Funds. The Board noted that Management has also established voluntary limits which further reduce Fund expenses.

The Board considered whether there were other funds that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates or separate accounts managed by Management or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the Funds. The Board compared the fees charged to any separate accounts managed in a similar style to the fees charged to the Funds at various asset levels. The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of the differences between the fees charged between each Fund and any such separate accounts and determined that the differences in fees were consistent with the management and other services provided.

The Board also evaluated any actual or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to each Fund. The Board considered the relatively low level of the management fee and the contractual and voluntary expense limits for each Fund.

In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to Money Market Master Series and Prime Master Series were reasonable in comparison with the costs of providing the investment advisory services and the benefits accruing to each Master Series, the Board reviewed specific data as to Management's profit or loss on each Master Series for a recent period and the trend in profit or loss over recent years. The Board did not review profitability data for Management of Government Master Series or Treasury Master Series because each Master Series has been operating for less than a year, but considered the profitability of a broadly comparable fund. The Board also carefully examined Management's cost allocation methodology and in recent years had an independent consultant review the methodology. It also reviewed an analysis from an independent data service on investment management profitability

margins. The Board recognized that Management should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services it provides to the Funds and, based on its review, concluded that Management's level of profitability was not excessive.

Conclusions

In approving the Agreements, the Board concluded that the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management could be expected to provide a high level of service to each Fund; that it retained confidence in Management's and Lehman Brothers Asset Management's capabilities to manage the Funds; that each Fund's fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature and quality of services provided; and that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to the Funds were reasonable in comparison with the costs of providing the investment advisory services and the benefits accruing to each Fund.

Board Consideration of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Government Reserves, Municipal and Tax-Exempt Portfolios and Master Series)

At a meeting held on September 27, 2006, the Board of Trustees of Institutional Liquidity Trust ("Board"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Neuberger Berman Management Inc. ("Management") (including its affiliates) or Institutional Liquidity Trust ("Independent Fund Trustees"), approved the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements ("Agreements") between Management and Institutional Liquidity Trust, on behalf of Government Reserves Master Series, Municipal Master Series and Tax-Exempt Master Series (each, a "Master Series"). Additionally, at a meeting held on September 27, 2007, the Board approved the continuance of the Agreements, noting that the Master Series had been operational for only a very short period of time and the underlying factors supporting the initial approval of the Agreements remained the same. Each of Government Reserves Portfolio, Municipal Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Portfolio (each, a "Feeder Portfolio") invests all of its net investable assets in Government Reserves Master Series, Municipal Master Series and Tax-Exempt Master Series, respectively. The term "Fund" is used throughout this section to refer to each Feeder Portfolio or its corresponding Master Series, as appropriate.

In evaluating the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed materials furnished by Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management LLC ("Lehman Brothers Asset Management") and met with senior representatives of Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management regarding their personnel and operations. The Independent Fund Trustees were advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management.

In their deliberations, the Board members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

The Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to each Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the performance of similar funds managed by Management. The Board considered the experience and staffing of portfolio management and the investment research personnel of Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management who would perform services for the Funds. The Board noted that Management also would provide certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance oversight. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management, as the firm has been free of significant compliance problems.

 

140



 

With respect to the performance of each Fund, the Board considered the performance of at least one similar fund managed by Management relative to its benchmark and a peer group of investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies as the Fund.

With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under the Agreements as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to Management or Lehman Brothers Asset Management or their affiliates from their relationship with the Fund.

The Board reviewed a comparison of each Fund's management fee and overall expense ratio to a peer group of comparable funds. The Board considered the mean and median of the management fees and expense ratios of each peer group. In addition, the Board considered the contractual limits on Fund expenses undertaken by Management for the Funds.

The Board considered whether there were other funds that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates or separate accounts managed by Management or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the Funds. The Board compared the fees charged to any advised and/or sub-advised funds managed in a similar style to the fees charged to the Funds at various asset levels. The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of the differences between the fees charged between each Fund and any such advised and/or sub-advised funds and determined that the differences in fees were consistent with the management and other services provided.

The Board also evaluated any anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to each Fund. The Board considered the relatively low level of the management fee and the contractual expense limit for each Fund.

Conclusions

In approving the Agreements, the Board concluded that the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management and Lehman Brothers Asset Management could be expected to provide a high level of service to each Fund; that each Fund's fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature and quality of services expected to be provided; and that the expected benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to the Funds were reasonable in comparison with the expected costs of providing the investment advisory services and the expected benefits accruing to each Fund.
