REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To U.S. Bank National Association, as Owner Trustee, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Bond Trustee, and the Certificateholders of College and University Facility Loan Trust Two:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of College and University Facility Loan Trust Two (the “Trust”), including the schedule of investments, as of November 30, 2017, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Trust accounts for its investments under the amortized cost method of accounting, net of any allowance for loan losses. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require the Trust to account for its investments in accordance with, and provide the disclosures required by, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Accounting for the investments under the fair value method of accounting, based on management’s estimate of fair value as described in Note 8, would result in an increase of approximately $888,000 in the amount reported for investments as of November 30, 2017 in the statement of assets and liabilities, and would result in a decrease in the reported net assets resulting from operations of approximately $473,000 and $801,000 for the years ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively, and would also impact the financial highlights presented.

In our opinion, except for the effect on the 2017 and 2016 financial statements and financial highlights of accounting for investments under the amortized cost method of accounting, as discussed in the preceding paragraph, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of College and University Facility Loan Trust Two as of November 30, 2017, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

College and University Facility Loan Trust Two

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. Organization and Business

College and University Facility Loan Trust Two (the Trust) was formed on March 11, 1988 as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by a declaration of trust by Bank of Boston (the Owner Trustee), succeeded by State Street Bank and Trust Company, succeeded by U.S. Bank National Association (successor Owner Trustee), not in its individual capacity, but solely as Owner Trustee. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, closed-end, management investment company.

The Trust was formed for the sole purpose of raising funds through the issuance and sale of bonds (the Bonds). The Trust commenced operations on May 12, 1988 (the Closing Date) and issued Bonds in four tranches in the aggregate principal amount (at maturity) of $450,922,000. The Bonds constitute full recourse obligations of the Trust. The collateral securing the Bonds consists primarily of a pool of loans made to college and university facilities (the Loans) and certain other funds held under the Indenture and the investment agreements. The Loans were originated by, or previously assigned to, the United States Department of Education under the College Housing Loan Program or the Academic Facilities Loan Program. The Loans, which have been assigned to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to Bank One Trust Company, NA, formerly The First National Bank of Chicago (the Bond Trustee), are secured by various types of collateral, including mortgages on real estate, general recourse obligations of the borrowers, pledges of securities and pledges of revenues. As of the Closing Date, the Loans had a weighted average stated interest rate of approximately 3.18% and a weighted average remaining term to maturity of approximately 18.8 years. Payments on the Loans are managed by the Bond Trustee in various fund accounts and are invested under investment agreements (see Note 2) as specified in the Indenture. The Trust is prohibited, by the terms of its Indenture, from selling or purchasing any Loans and investments.

All payments on the Loans and earnings under the investment agreements and any required transfers from the Expense Fund and Liquidity Fund are deposited to the credit of the Revenue Fund held by the Bond Trustee, as defined within and in accordance with the Indenture. In accordance with the Indenture, on each bond payment date, the amounts on deposit in the Revenue Fund, are applied in the following order of priority: to pay amounts due on the Bonds, to pay administrative expenses not previously paid from the Expense Fund, to fund the Expense Fund to the Expense Fund Requirement and to fund the Liquidity Fund to the Liquidity Fund Requirement. Any funds remaining in the Revenue Fund on such payment date will be used to further pay down the Bonds to the extent of the Maximum Principal Distribution Amount, as defined in the Indenture, after which any residual amounts are paid to the certificateholders, as discussed in Note 5. See Note 8 for balances in the Revenue and Liquidity Funds as of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date.

Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC (“Servicer” or “Berkadia”), formerly Capmark Finance, Inc., is the administrator for the Loan portfolio. Berkadia serves as the Master Servicer and Special Servicer under the Master Servicing and Special Service Agreements. Berkadia handles the custodial bank accounts and performs the loan recordkeeping and monitoring.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) College and University Facility Loans

The Loans were purchased by the Trust at amounts below the par value of the Loans, resulting in a “purchase discount”.

As a 1940 Act investment company, the Trust is required to follow accounting and reporting guidance in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services–Investment Companies, (“ASC 946”) including the reporting of the investment portfolio of Loans at fair value. However, management believes that the amortized cost method of accounting, net of any allowance for loan losses, best serves the informational needs of the users of the Trust’s financial statements.

Pursuant to a “no-action letter” that the Trust received from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Loans were recorded at the discounted value (the amortized cost) and are being accounted for under the amortized cost method of accounting, net of any allowance for loan losses. Under the amortized cost method, the purchase discount on the loans is accreted using the effective interest rate method over the duration of the Loan, and included as part of the Trust’s interest income. If a prepayment is made, any remaining unamortized purchase discount is recognized as interest income upon prepayment. The remaining balance of the unamortized purchase discount on the Loans as of November 30, 2017 was approximately $703,000. For the year ended November 30, 2017, the Trust recognized approximately $405,000 of interest income from the accretion of purchase discount. As a result of prepayments of Loans during the year ended November 30, 2017, approximately $26,700 of unamortized purchase discount related to such Loans at the time of prepayment was recognized and is included in the $405,500 of accretion for the year ended November 30, 2017.

The Trust records an allowance for loan losses based on the Trust’s evaluation of collectability of the Loans within the portfolio. The Loans are classified into three separate pools based on risk and collection performance. The pools are then assigned a reserve percentage based on risk and other factors and a reserve is systematically calculated for the pools:

 

  (1) General - Loans are performing on a timely basis and where there is no information that leads the Trust to reclassify to a different risk pool.

 

  (2) Substandard - Loans are generally classified into this category resulting from either historical collection issues or administrative issues with receiving collection that have been on-going. Loans in this pool are not considered uncollectible but due to collection issues, a higher reserve percentage is applied due to the risk profile of this pool. At November 30, 2017, two loans were considered substandard by the Trust.

 

  (3) Doubtful - A Loan is considered doubtful when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Trust will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the Loan agreement. Loans in this category are generally assigned a 100% reserve unless facts and circumstances provide evidence that some level of collectability exists. At November 30, 2017, no loans were considered doubtful by the Trust.

 

11


College and University Facility Loan Trust Two

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

As the credit quality for an individual Loan borrower changes, the Loan is evaluated for reclassification to a different risk pool as described above. Risk ratings to the existing pools may be adjusted based on qualitative factors including, among others, general economic and business conditions, credit quality trends, and specific industry conditions. The Trust monitors credit quality primarily through two trigger points: receipt of financial information that upon review raises credit quality concerns and delinquent payments which then require investigation as to causes of the delinquency. Historically, write-offs have not been material.

There are inherent uncertainties with respect to the final outcome of Loans and as such, actual losses may differ from the amounts reflected in the financial statements and such differences could be material.

(b) Interest Income

The Trust accrues interest, including accretion of purchase discount, on the Loans as earned. The Loans generally require interest payments on a semi-annual basis with rates of interest of 3% or 4%. The Trust recognizes the accretion of Loan purchase discount as interest income using the effective interest method.

The Trust views all amounts over 30 days past due as delinquent. It is the Trust’s policy to generally discontinue the accrual of interest on Loans for which payment of principal or interest is 180 days or more past due or for other such Loans if management believes the collection of interest and principal is doubtful. Due to the nature of the Loan investments in the Trust, there are instances where payment of the Loans and related interest may not be received by the Trust due to documentation issues that require time for the Trust to resolve. In those circumstances, where the past due loan is greater than 180 days but the Trust has concluded it is not a credit issue, the Trust will continue to accrue interest or accrete purchase discount if the Trust believes interest and principal amounts to be collectible. When a Loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all previously accrued, but uncollected interest is reversed against the current period’s interest income. Subsequently, any interest income received from a Loan that is on nonaccrual status is recognized when received and such payments are generally applied to interest first, with the balance, if any, applied to principal. At November 30, 2017, no Loans have been placed on nonaccrual status.

The Trust also accrues interest on its two investment agreements issued by JP Morgan Chase Bank at rates of interest of 7.05% and 7.75% as earned.

(c) Other Investments

Other investments, which are included in investments in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, consist of two investment agreements issued by JP Morgan Chase Bank bearing fixed rates of interest of 7.05% and 7.75%. These investments are carried at cost, whereas they should be reported at fair value under ASC 946. However, management believes that the cost method of accounting best serves the informational needs of the users of the Trust’s financial statements because the Trust cannot sell or dispose of these investment agreements prior to the date they terminate, which is the earlier of June 1, 2018, or the date on which the Bonds are paid-in-full. See Note 8 for discussion of fair value measurement of these investments.

College and University Facility Loan Trust Two

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

(d) Deferred Bond Issuance Costs

Deferred bond issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the estimated life of the Bonds, which are based on the scheduled payments of the Loans. The amortization of these costs is included as a component of interest expense. Loan prepayments have the effect of accelerating Bond payments. As these accelerated Bond payments occur, an additional portion of the deferred issuance costs is expensed in the year the prepayment occurs. For the year ended November 30, 2017, the Trust recognized $1,879 of amortization of deferred bond issuance costs.

(e) Federal Income Taxes

It is the Trust’s policy to comply with the requirements applicable to a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income to its certificateholders each year. Accordingly, no provision for federal income, state income, or excise tax is necessary.

For tax purposes, the Loans were transferred to the Trust at their face values. Accordingly, the accretion of the purchase discount creates a permanent book-tax difference.

As of November 30, 2017, the Trust had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Trust is additionally not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months.

The Trust files a U.S. federal and Massachusetts state income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination for a period of three years from the date of filing.

Capital distributions are presented and disclosed in accordance with ASC 946, which requires the Trust to report distributions that are in excess of tax-basis earnings and profits as a tax return of capital and to present the Trust’s distributable earnings (components of net assets) on a basis that approximates the amounts that are available for future distributions on a tax basis. For the year ended November 30, 2017, distributions of $0.039 per certificate was declared on November 24, 2017, and paid to certificateholders of record on December 2, 2017. For the year ended November 30, 2016, distributions $0.004 per certificate were declared on November 23, 2016 and paid to certificateholders of record on December 2, 2016. The distributions of $69,177 and $6,652 for the years ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016, respectively, represent returns of capital for tax purposes.

The Trust’s primary permanent differences between accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and tax basis relate to:

 

  (a) The accretion of the Loan purchase discounts under GAAP. For the year ended November 30, 2017 the Trust recorded approximately $405,000 of interest income related to the accretion of purchase discounts. At November 30, 2017, the Trust had recognized accumulated accretion of the purchase discounts of approximately $217,998,000.

 

  (b) Net operating losses for tax purposes of $438,200 for the year ended November 30, 2017.

As required under ASC 946, the Trust reclassifies the accumulated value of the permanent differences discussed above from distributions in excess of net investment income to paid-in capital. The total reclassification increased additional paid-in capital and reduced undistributed net investment income by $32,524 as of November 30, 2017. This reclassification has no impact on the net assets or net assets per certificate value of the Trust.

College and University Facility Loan Trust Two

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

The primary reasons for the book-to-tax temporary differences relate to allowance for loan losses and the difference in original issuance discount on the Bonds.

(f) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(g) Statement of Cash Flows

Information on financial transactions which have been settled through the receipt or disbursement of cash is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Trust is the amount included in the Trust’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents the cash at the bank and does not include any short-term investments.

(h) Risk Factors

The Trust’s investments are subject to the following:

Credit Risk

The Trust is subject to credit risk from its counterparties to any of its investments if the counterparties fail to perform pursuant to the terms of their agreements with the Trust.

The Trust’s investment agreements are held in escrow by the Bond Trustee. The Bond Trustee has custody of the Trust’s investment agreements. The Trust is subject to counterparty risk to the extent that the Bond Trustee may be unable to fulfill its obligations to the Trust.

Loan payments made to the Trust are received and processed by the Servicer. The Trust is subject to counterparty risk to the extent that the borrowers and the Servicer may be unable to fulfill their obligations to the Trust.

Prepayment Risk

Most of the Loans held by the Trust allow for prepayment of principal without penalty. As such, the Trust is subject to prepayment risk, which could negatively impact future earnings.

Diversification Risk

The Trust is classified as a diversified management investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Over time, however, as borrowers have made payments on their Loans, the outstanding principal balance of the loans has decreased and certain loans have been paid in full. As a result, the Trust now holds fewer loans than it did originally and certain loans represent a larger percentage of the remaining assets of the Trust. The Trust is therefore more susceptible to the risks associated with the remaining loans.

(i) Indemnification

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Owner Trustee and Bond Trustee may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, and certificateholders are indemnified against personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

(j) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial Instruments (Topic 825) — Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The new ASU requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Additionally, the ASU changes the disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods, and the interim periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted for certain provisions. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released its final rule on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Rule”). The Rule, which introduced two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies, Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN, also contained amendments to Regulation S-X which impact financial statement presentation for all reporting periods ending after August 1, 2017. The Trust has adopted the Rule’s Regulation S-X amendments.

Interest on the Bonds is payable semi-annually. On December 1, 2017, the Trust made a principal payment of $1,372,440 on the Bonds. The average amount of bond principal outstanding for the year ended November 30, 2017 was approximately $1,975,500.

 

15


College and University Facility Loan Trust Two

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, principal payments on the Bonds are made prior to the stated maturity on each bond payment date in an amount equal to the lesser of either (1) amounts available in the Revenue Fund after certain required payments of interest and principal (at the stated maturity of the Bonds) and administrative expenses, after required transfers to the Expense Fund and the Liquidity Fund (such that the amounts on deposit are equal to the Expense Fund Requirement and the Liquidity Fund Requirement, respectively), or (2) the Maximum Principal Distribution Amount.

The estimated remaining aggregate principal payments on the Bonds at November 30, 2017, after taking into consideration actual Loan prepayments and the Maximum Principal Distribution Amount, are as follows:

 

Fiscal Year

   Amount
(000’s)
 

2018

   $ 1,860  
  

 

 

 

Total

   $ 1,860  
  

 

 

 

Actual Bond principal payments may differ from estimated payments because borrowers may prepay or default on their obligations. The Bonds are not subject to optional redemption by either the Trust or the bondholders.

In the event the Trust realizes negative cash flows, the Liquidity Fund is being maintained such that, on or before such bond payment date, the Liquidity Fund may be used by the Bond Trustee to make any required payments on the Bonds and to pay operating expenses of the Trust. See Note 8 for balance in the Liquidity Fund.

For the year ending November 30, 2017, the Trust has changed the method of presentation relating to debt issuance costs in accordance with ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30). Prior to December 1, 2016, the Trust’s policy was to present debt issuance costs in Deferred Bond Issuance cost costs as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, net of accumulated amortization. As a result Bonds Payable disclosed in the balance sheet is net of Deferred Bond Issuance costs.

The original issue discount is being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the estimated life of the Bonds, which are based on the scheduled payments of the Loans. Accordingly, Loan prepayments have the effect of accelerating Bond payments. When Bond payments occur sooner than estimated, a portion of the original issue discount is expensed in the year of prepayment. For the year ended November 30, 2017, the Trust recognized $160,220 of amortization of original issue discount bonds. Amortization of original issue discount is included as a component of interest expense. Remaining unamortized discount as of November 30, 2017 was $19,227.

4. Administrative Agreements

(a) Servicer

As compensation for the services provided under the servicing agreement, Berkadia, receives a servicing fee. The fee is earned on each date of payment for each Loan and is equal to 0.075 of 1% of the outstanding principal balance of such Loans divided by the number of payments of principal and interest in a calendar year. For the year ended November 30, 2017, this fee totaled $5,057. Additionally, per the servicing agreement, the Servicer is reimbursed for certain expenditures incurred related to inspection of mortgaged property. For the year ended November 30, 2017, the Servicer was reimbursed $405. As of November 30, 2017, $1,530 in fees are due to the Servicer.

(b) Trustees

As compensation for services provided, the Owner and Bond Trustees are entitled, under the Declaration of Trust and the Indenture, to receive the following fees:

Under the Declaration of Trust agreement, the Owner Trustee, in its capacities as manager of the Trust and as Owner Trustee, is entitled to annual fees of $15,000 and $12,500, respectively. In addition, the Owner Trustee is paid an annual registration fee of $1,000. The expected future minimum payments to the Owner Trustee under such agreement will be $28,500 in fiscal years 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, and will total $57,000 thereafter. For the year ended November 30, 2017, the Owner Trustee incurred no out-of-pocket expenses.

The Bond Trustee is entitled to an annual fee equal to 0.015 of 1% of the aggregate outstanding principal of the Bonds on the bond payment date immediately preceding the date of payment of such fee. The Bond Trustee is also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, the Bond Trustee is reimbursed for other agreed-upon related expenses such as transaction costs. For the year ended November 30, 2017, total Bond Trustee fees and related expenses amounted to $1,809.

5. Certificates

The holders of the Class B certificates may receive semi-annual distributions declared in May and November of each year, calculated in accordance with the Indenture, from amounts collected by the Trust, on a pro rata basis. While the Bonds remain outstanding, the distributions are paid on the second business day in June and December and, after the Bonds are paid in full, on the first business day of each month. The certificateholders of the Class B Certificates are entitled to one vote per certificate. Distributions payable of $69,177 at November 30, 2017, were paid on December 2, 2017.

Expected payments may differ from contractual payments because borrowers may prepay or default on their obligations. Accordingly, actual principal and interest payments on the Loans may vary significantly from the scheduled payments. Principal prepayments made during the year ended November 30, 2017 totaled approximately $164,000.

The ability of a borrower to meet future service payments on a Loan will depend on a number of factors relevant to the financial condition of such borrower, including, among others, the size and diversity of the borrower’s sources of revenues; enrollment trends; reputation; management expertise; the availability and restrictions on the use of endowments and other funds; the quality and maintenance costs of the borrower’s facilities and, in the case of some Loans to public institutions, which are obligations of a State, the financial condition of the relevant State or other governmental entity and its policies with respect to education. The ability of a borrower to maintain enrollment levels will depend on such factors as tuition costs, geographical location, geographic diversity, quality of the student body, quality of the faculty and diversity of program offerings.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

The collateral for Loans that are secured by a mortgage on real estate generally consists of special purpose facilities, such as dormitories, dining halls and gymnasiums, which are integral components of the overall educational setting. As a result, in the event of borrower default on a Loan, the Trust’s ability to realize the outstanding balance of the Loan through the sale of the underlying collateral may be negatively impacted by the purpose, nature and location of such collateral.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires entities to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes fair valuation principles, a three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Trust. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Trust’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 -   

Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 -   

Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 -    Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (including the Trust’s own assumptions in determining fair value).

Current market prices are not available for most of the Trust’s financial instruments since an active market generally does not exist for such instruments. In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Trust is required to hold all of the Loans to maturity and to use the cash flows therefrom to retire the Bonds. Accordingly, the Trust has estimated the fair values of its Loans and Bonds using a discounted cash flow methodology. This methodology is similar to the approach used at the formation of the Trust to determine the initial carrying amounts of these instruments

 

20


College and University Facility Loan Trust Two

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

for financial reporting purposes. In applying the methodology, the calculations have been adjusted for the change in the relevant market rates of interest, the estimated duration of the instruments and an internally developed credit risk rating of the instruments. All calculations are based on the scheduled principal and interest payments on the Loans and Bonds, excluding any potential prepayments as it is not possible to estimate such prepayments.

The fair values of the fixed-maturity investment agreements are determined by adding a market rate adjustment to the carrying value of the investments. This market rate adjustment is calculated using the net present value of the difference between future interest income to the Trust at the issue rate and the future interest income at the current market rate through the maturity of the investment. The current market rate at November 30, 2017, is based upon bonds with similar characteristics and maturity dates of the investment agreements.

9. Subsequent Events

The Trust has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments to the financial statements resulting from subsequent events through the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Loan principal payments of $120,000 and $17,000 that were outstanding as of November 30, 2017 were paid in full December 1, 2017 and December 18, 2017 respectively, subsequent to year-end.

Except for the subsequent distributions disclosed in Notes 3, 5 and the paragraph above, the evaluation did not identify any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments to these financial statements.
