Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote	The FIN 48 (ASC 470) disclosure in the ECMC Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries Consolidated Financial Statements reads as follows: "ECMC Group, Inc., Education Credit Management Corporation, ECMC Education, Inc., and ECMC Foundation are nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporations and are exempt from federal and state income taxes. ECMC Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries are taxable entities and account for deferred tax assets and liabilities under the liability method.

Form And Line Reference	Schedule F, Part I, Line 3(f) Investments	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	Investments are recorded on the trade date and substantially all investments are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses and realized gains and losses, which are determined on the basis of the prior period carrying value, are included in the change in net assets. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Alternative Investments - Alternative investments consist of various limited partnerships chosen to support the investment objectives of ECMC Group, Inc. as outlined in the Investment Policy Statement of ECMC Group, Inc. Net asset valuations are provided quarterly by the limited partnerships. ECMC Group, Inc. uses September 30 as the cut-off date for booking investment income and unrealized gain/loss based on statements provided by each fund manager. During the period from September 30 to December 31, capital calls and redemptions are booked to reflect cash movements occurring during the last quarter of the year. Management establishes, reviews and evaluates macroeconomic market factors affecting the investment portfolio's unrealized gain/loss during the last quarter of the year. Management's recommendations on these fair value adjustments are presented to the investment committee for its approval and consideration of the investment fair value. The estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that could be realized if a ready market existed for these investments, and these differences could be material.	ExplanationTxt
