On April 2, 2004, Lois Burke, a plaintiff identifying herself as a shareholder of the Goldman Sachs Internet Tollkeeper Fund, filed a purported class and derivative action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GSG"), Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. ("GSAM"), the Trustees and Officers of the Goldman Sachs Trust (the "Trust"), and John Doe Defendants. In addition, the Trust's Goldman Sachs Balanced Fund, Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth Opportunities Fund, Goldman Sachs Strategic Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Capital Growth Fund, Goldman Sachs Research Select Fund, Goldman Sachs Large Cap Value Fund, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Small Cap Equity Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE Small Cap Equity Fund), Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Growth Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE Large Cap Growth Fund), Goldman Sachs Structured Large Cap Value Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE Large Cap Value Fund), Goldman Sachs Structured U.S. Equity Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE U.S. Equity Fund), Goldman Sachs Asia Equity Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs Asia Growth Fund), Goldman Sachs Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs International Small Cap Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs International Growth Opportunities Fund), Goldman Sachs Japanese Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs European Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs International Equity Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured International Equity Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE International Equity Fund), Goldman Sachs Balanced Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth and Income Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Growth Strategy Portfolio, Goldman Sachs Equity Growth Strategy Portfolio (formerly, Goldman Sachs Aggressive Growth Strategy Portfolio), Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund, Goldman Sachs High Yield Municipal Fund, Goldman Sachs Global Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Core Fi xed Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Municipal Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Government Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund, Goldman Sachs Short Duration Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Ultra-Short Duration Government Fund, Goldman Sachs Enhanced Income Fund, Goldman Sachs Internet Tollkeeper Fund, Goldman Sachs Structured Tax-Managed Equity Fund (formerly, Goldman Sachs CORE Tax-Managed Equity Fund), Goldman Sachs Real Estate Securities Fund, Goldman Sachs ILA Prime Obligations Portfolio, Goldman Sachs ILA Tax-Exempt Diversified Portfolio (collectively, the "Trust Funds") were named as nominal defendants. On April 19 and May 6, 2004, two additional class and derivative action lawsuits containing substantially similar allegations and requests for redress were filed by plaintiffs Marianne Gooris, Henry C. Gross, Joseph P. Porkorny and Diana D. Porkorny and Maurice and Arlene Rosenthal in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against defendants GSC, GSAM, the Trustees and Officers of the Trust and John Doe Defendants. The Trust Funds were also named as nominal defendants. On June 29, 2004, the three complaints were consolidated into one action, In re Goldman Sachs Mutual Funds Fee Litigation. On November 17, 2004, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint against GSG, GSAM, Goldman Sachs Asset Management International ("GSAMI"), Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Trust, Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust ("GSVIT"), the Trustees and Officers of the Trust and GSVIT and John Doe Defendants (collectively, the Defendants") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Trust Funds and the corresponding investment portfolios of GSVIT were also named as nominal defendants in the amended complaint (collectively, the "Goldman Sachs Funds"). Plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint on April 15, 2005. The second amended consolidated complaint, which is brought on behalf of all persons or entities who held shares in the Goldman Sachs Funds between April 2, 1999 and January 9, 2004, inclusive (the "Class Period"), asserts claims involving (i) violations of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, (ii) common law breaches of fiduciary duty and (iii) unjust enrichment. The complaint alleges, among other things, that during the Class Period, the Defendants made improper and excessive brokerage commission and other payments to brokers that sold shares of the Goldman Sachs Funds and omitted statements of fact in registration statements and reports filed pursuant to the Investment Company Act which were necessary to prevent such registration statements and reports from being materially false and misleading. In addition, the complaint alleges that the Goldman Sachs Funds paid excessive and improper investment advisory fees to GSAM and GSAMI. The c omplaint further alleges that GSAM and GSAMI used Rule 12b-1 fees for improper purposes and made improper use of soft dollars. The complaint further alleges that the Trust's Officers and Trustees breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, permitting the payments to be made in connection with the foregoing. The plaintiffs in the cases are seeking compensatory damages; rescission of GSAM's and GSAMI's investment advisory agreement and return of fees paid; an accounting of all Goldman Sachs Funds-related fees, commissions and soft dollar payments; restitution of all unlawfully or discriminatorily obtained fees and charges; and reasonable costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. On January 13, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed all claims against the Defendants. On February 22, 2006, the plaintiffs appealed this decision. By agreement, plaintiffs subsequently withdrew their appeal without prejudice, but have reserved the right to reac tivate their appeal pending decision by the circuit court of appeals in similar litigation. Based on currently available information, GSAM and GSAMI believe that the likelihood that the pending purported class and derivate action lawsuit will have a material adverse financial impact on the Goldman Sachs Funds is remote, and the pending action is not likely to materially affect their ability to provide investment management services to its clients, including the Goldman Sachs Funds.

EX-99.77B 7 exh77b2.txt Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Goldman Sachs Trust In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of Goldman Sachs Short Duration Tax-Free Fund, Goldman Sachs California Intermediate AMT-Free Municipal Fund, Goldman Sachs New York Intermediate AMT-Free Municipal Fund, and Goldman Sachs Tennessee Municipal Fund (four of the funds comprising the Goldman Sachs Trust, collectively hereafter referred to as the "Funds") as of and for the year ended October 31, 2006, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered their internal control over financial reporting, including control activities for safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. The management of the Funds is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such internal control includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Our consideration of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Funds' internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of October 31, 2006. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of the Funds, and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
