3 Brevard County School District Investment Report Quarter Ended March 31, 2008 MARKET REVIEW In the first quarter of 2008, the financial markets suffered the effects of the credit crisis and growing weakness in the overall economy. Turmoil in the bond insurance market, massive write-downs in the financial sector, lagging retail sales, and extraordinary actions by the Federal Reserve that included the rescue of a major investment bank triggered an investor flight-to-quality and drove interest rates to five year lows. The sharp rate declines produced outstanding returns on fixed-income portfolios. Longer-term U.S. Treasury securities continued to out-perform cash and money market instruments by a significant margin. For the first quarter, the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index had a periodic return of 2.98% and an annualized return of 12.51%. The trailing 12- month return for the same index was 8.96%, which was more than double the index s average return over the last five years. The following chart shows the strength of returns for Treasury portfolios. Duration was a significant factor in performance in the quarter, as it has been over the last 12 month and five year periods. 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 8.80% 6.81% Merrill Lynch U.S Treasury Indices Quarterly vs. 12 Month vs. 5 Year Returns as of March 31, 2008 * 12.51% 8.96% 15.66% 10.47% 3.30% 3.61% 3.92% 21.38% 13.29% 1 year 1-3 year 1-5 year 3-5 year 1st Q 2008 Return 12 Month Return 5 Year Return * Annualized Returns Source: Merrill Lynch Indices provided by Bloomberg Financial Market 4.53% The flight-to-quality also caused credit spreads between sectors to widen further from already significant spreads at year-end. For example, as the following chart shows, spreads between two-year Treasury notes and Federal agency securities widened from 52 to 62 basis points over the first quarter. For the quarter the spread averaged 63 basis points, 34 basis points higher than the five year average spread between these two sectors of 29 basis points. 0.90% 0.80% 0.70% 0.60% 0.50% 0.40% 0.30% 0.20% 0.10% 0.00% Spread Between 2-Year U.S. Treasury Note vs. 2-Year Federal Agency Note March 2003 March 2008 Mar 03 Jul 03 5 Year Average 29 bps (0.29%) Nov 03 Source: Bloomberg Mar 04 Jul 04 Nov 04 Mar 05 1 st Quarter Average 63 bps (0.63%) The widening of spreads caused the unusual underperformance of both Federal Agencies and corporate obligations relative to U.S. Treasury securities of similar duration for a third consecutive quarter. Compared to other sectors, U.S. Treasury yields fell the most which generated more market value appreciation and, therefore, higher total returns, than Federal Agency and corporate securities of comparable duration. For example, on a duration-adjusted basis the 1-3 Year Federal Agency Index and 1-3 Year AA/AAA Corporate Index had periodic returns of 8.12% and 6.85% respectively over the past 12 months. In the short term, widening spreads have skewed the performance of the non-treasury sectors relative to Treasuries.

4 Brevard County School District Investment Report Quarter Ended March 31, 2008 As the following chart shows Treasuries out-performed Federal agencies and corporates lagged both for the quarter and the last 12 months, but over the five year period ending March 31, 2007 before the dramatic spread widening the order of sector-specific performance was the reverse, with corporates returning the most performance (3.84%) and Treasuries the least (3.11%). 14% 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Indices Quarterly vs. 12 Month vs. 5 Year Returns Ending 3/31/07 as of March 31, 2008* 12.51% 8.96% 3.11% 11.45% 8.09% 3.40% 8.67% 6.83% Treasury Agency AA-AAA Corporate 1Q08 Return 12 Month Return 5 Years Return Ending 3/31/07 * Annualized Returns Source: Merrill Lynch Indices provided by Bloomberg Financial Market 3.84% The atypical out-performance by the U.S. Treasury sector is likely to be reversed in coming quarters as the increased income from Federal Agency and corporate holdings more than offsets recent quarterly deficits, and sector-specific returns resume their normal relationships. PFM s portfolio strategy for the first quarter continued to over-weight Federal Agency securities. Federal Agencies offered much higher yields relative to U.S. Treasuries and better credit quality than corporate securities. While the Federal Agencies have been impacted by the housing downturn, their overall financial position remains favorable and the Bush Administration and Congress have made it clear that the government sponsored enterprises are the centerpiece of efforts to revive the nation s housing industry and provide liquidity to backs and thrift institutions. Where investment policies permit, we continued to make modest use of corporate obligations, but these were generally underweighted despite their significant income advantages because few corporate issuers passed the stringent credit requirements we applied in this uncertain period. Our duration management strategy during the quarter was designed to approximate the duration of the relevant benchmark and thus minimize the impact of duration on returns in order to capitalize on sector value. By overweighting non-treasury sectors, we should be well-positioned to add to return in coming quarters. ECONOMY Economic indicators in the first quarter continued to reflect an economy at the brink of, or in, recession, plagued by tight money, a near-depression in housing, and a pull-back by consumers whose outlook is decidedly negative. The quarter began on unstable footing as the fourth quarter GDP number, a paltry 0.60%, brought the 2007 GDP, annualized and inflation-adjusted, to 2.20%. This represents the weakest overall growth rate of the economy in five years. In February, the Fed revised its GDP forecast for 2008 downward to 1.30%-2.00%. Some market economists expect an even lower rate of growth throughout 2008, projecting it at about 1.00%, with growth in the first half of the year near zero as shown by the April Bloomberg survey of economist projections in the chart below.

Sales of new homes fell to a 13 year low, prices dropped and housing starts declined. While sales of existing homes unexpectedly rose after almost 9 months in decline, a sustained rebound is hindered by a glut in supply and increasingly tougher mortgage requirements. In an attempt to free up capital to provide funding to the weak housing market, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) lowered the capital surplus requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from 30% to 20% (they implemented the surplus requirements a few years ago after the agencies experienced accounting irregularities). This should make up to $200 billion of additional mortgage financing available to the market. The added financing capability may remain underutilized until home sales revive and/or housing prices stabilize so refinancings are feasible. Source: Bloomberg The labor market, another critical driver of economic expansion, also exhibited further weakness. The economy lost jobs in every month of the quarter for a total loss of 232,000 jobs. The unemployment rate also rose from 4.80% in February to 5.10% in March. Though this is far lower than the level experienced in previous economic downturns, it is still worrisome.

6 Brevard County School District Investment Report Quarter Ended March 31, 2008 In conjunction with the softening employment market, the ISM readings for the service and manufacturing sectors signaled economic contraction as both were below 50 at quarter s end. Readings below fifty indicate that the economy is contracting ISM Manufacturing March 2003 March 2008 CONTRACTION ISM Non-Manufacturing March 2003 March 2008 CONTRACTION whether the Fed s strategy will pay off, or whether it will actually fuel new inflation pressures down the road. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) employed a conventional strategy by lowering the Federal funds target and the discount rates to stimulate bank lending. The Fed cut a total of 200 basis points (2.00%) from the Federal funds rate during the quarter. The urgency of this effort was demonstrated by the Fed s cutting the target rate 75 basis points (0.75%) on January 22, its first intermeeting action since September It also further narrowed the gap between the Federal funds rate and the discount rate (the rate at which the Federal Reserve makes short-term loans directly to member banks) to 25 basis points (0.25%). The spread was as high as 100 basis (1.00%) points in August Mar 03 Mar 04 Mar 05 Mar 06 Mar 07 Mar Mar 03 Mar 04 Mar 05 Mar 06 Mar 07 Mar % Fed Funds Target Rate January 2000 March 2008 Source: Bloomberg The inflation outlook remains troublesome, but any effort to fight inflation has been subverted by the Federal Reserve s overwhelming effort to re-establish financial market stability and promote stronger growth. Overall inflation at the producer and consumer levels remains at unfavorable levels. Producer prices are now rising at the rate of 7.00% annually, the fastest pace in more than 15 years. Core producer prices are also problematic, and the core Producer Price Index (PPI) at quarter-end stood 2.70% above the year earlier level. The core PPI is a measure of the average price received by domestic producers of goods and services. PPI is closely followed by economists as it measures a rise in prices early in the supply chain. Despite the troubling current news on inflation, the Fed took dramatic actions to inject liquidity into the frozen credit markets using both traditional and non-traditional instruments, betting that the economic slowdown would itself break the pace of inflation.

It made $200 billion in Treasury securities available through the newly created Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF). These were loaned to primary dealers large Wall Street investment firms and banks that trade directly with the Fed for 28-days rather than overnight as is customary.

7 Brevard County School District Investment Report Quarter Ended March 31, 2008 primary dealers to pledge other securities, including federal agency residential-mortgage-backed securities as collateral, effectively creating liquidity for firms holding less marketable securities and implicitly backing obligations of the federal agencies. 3 month 6 month 12/31/ % 3.42% 3/31/ % 1.50% Spread -193 bps -192 bps In its boldest attempt to inject both liquidity and confidence back into the markets, the Fed granted the Federal Reserve Bank of New York the authority to establish a Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF). The PDCF provides overnight funding to primary dealers in exchange for a specified range of collateral, including all collateral eligible for tri-party repurchase agreements arranged by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as well as all investment-grade corporate securities, municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities for which a price is available. The full effects of the FOMC s actions remain to be seen. However, the immediate consequences of the Fed s actions and a general flight to quality were a sharp decline in short-term Treasury yields and a steepening of the yield curve as shown by the following chart and table. 4.00% 3.00% U.S. Treasury Yield Curve March 31, 2008 versus December 31, year 5 year 10 year 30 year 3.06% 3.44% 4.03% 4.45% 1.59% 2.44% 3.41% 4.29% -147 bps -100 bps -62 bps -16 bps The slew of negative economic data was not the only factor driving the market s volatility. Losses and credit downgrades continue to stress municipal bond insurers and roil the municipal bond market. The ratings of MBIA and other major bond insurers remain at risk because of the exotic mortgage-backed debt instruments that they insured. During the quarter, the financial stability and senior debt ratings of both MBIA and Ambac were put on negative watch by Moody s, S&P, and Fitch. Throughout the first quarter, commercial and investment banks continued to write-down billions of dollars of assets due to losses in the mortgage sector. In the most extreme case, the Fed intervened to promote a rescue of Bear-Stearns by financing a buyout of the troubled investment bank by JP Morgan Chase. Yield 2.00% 1.00% December 31, 2007 March 31, m m yr yr yr yr Maturity Source: Bloomberg Municipal borrowers who had auction rate bonds outstanding also felt the negative fall-out of the market disruptions and tightened capital lending. For the first time in the municipal sector, auctions for these securities failed to attract any investors as concerns over liquidity levels, credit risk, and insurer stability kept them away. Auction rate failures resulted in astronomical interest rates, some as high as 20%, for entities and raised the cost of borrowing to formerly unimaginable levels.

8 Brevard County School District Investment Report Quarter Ended March 31, 2008 PORTFOLIO STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK The market expects that the Federal Reserve will continue to ease credit in coming months although the inflation back-drop may limit its desire to cut short-term rates much below the 2.25% Federal funds level that prevailed at quarter-end. The very steep positive yield curve and outlook for economic weakness for the next several quarters have led us to target portfolio durations that are neutral to related benchmarks. As sector spreads remain very wide by historic standards, we will continue to emphasize Federal Agency securities, which we expect to out-perform comparable duration Treasuries over the near term. We remain cautious about other sectors because of market volatility and uncertainty about the extent of the economic slowdown. PFM Asset Management LLC Section A - 6
