PHEAA STUDENT LOAN FOUNDATION INC

THE FOUNDATION FORMS SPECIAL PURPOSE STATUTORY TRUSTS UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE. THE PRINCIPAL PURPOSE OF THE TRUSTS ARE TO SECURITIZE STUDENT LOANS AND RELATED ASSETS, BY ACQUIRING STUDENT LOANS FROM THE FOUNDATION AND ISSUING PROMISSORY NOTES SECURED BY A PLEDGE OF SUCH ASSETS. HOWEVER, AS A CASH BASIS TAXPAYER, THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT HAVE TO RECOGNIZE ITS RESIDUAL INTEREST AS REVENUE UNTIL THE CASH FLOWS BECOME AVAILABLE. THE FOUNDATION DISTRIBUTES TO ITS SOLE BENEFICIARY, PHEAA, FROM TIME TO TIME, ALL OF THE CASH FLOWS DERIVED FROM THE STUDENT LOAN TRUSTS, NET OF EXPENSES (OPERATING EXPENSES AND PRINCIPAL, AND INTEREST PAYMENTS TO INVESTORS). PHEAA USES THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THE STUDENT LOANS TO CONTINUE OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT SUBSIDIZE THE COSTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND SATISFY PHEAA'S STATUTORY MISSION.
