American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Unaudited Notes to Financial Statements
1. Description of the Trust
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust (the
"Trust" or the "Collective Trust") was organized on August 8, 1991 under the
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Declaration of Trust
as amended and restated on December 5, 1991 and as amended thereafter. State
Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street Bank") acted as trustee for the
Trust until December 1, 2004. Effective December 1, 2004, State Street Bank and
Trust Company of New Hampshire ("State Street" or the "Trustee") was
substituted for State Street Bank as trustee of the Collective Trust. The Trust
is maintained exclusively for the collective investment of monies administered
on behalf of participants in the American Bar Association Members Retirement
Program (the "Program"). Ten separate collective investment funds (the "Funds")
and the Structured Portfolio Service (the "Portfolios") are established under
the Trust. The Structured Portfolio Service offers three approaches to
diversifying investments by stipulating various allocations among the Funds.
The Funds and Portfolios are investment options under the Program, which is
sponsored by the American Bar Retirement Association ("ABRA"). The objectives
and principal strategies of the Funds and Portfolios are as follows:
Balanced Fund--current income and long-term capital appreciation
through investment in common stocks, other equity-type securities and debt
securities. Since July 1, 2004, the debt portion of the Balanced Fund has
been invested through the American Bar Association Members/State Street
Collective Trust Intermediate Bond Fund. Prior to July 1, 2004, the debt
portion had been invested in separately owned securities. As of March 31,
2005, 38.7% of the Fund's net assets were invested in the American Bar
Association Members/State Street Collective Trust Intermediate Bond Fund.
Index Equity Fund--replication of the total return of the Russell
3000 Index. Currently invests 100% of the Fund's net assets in the State
Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 3000 Index Securities Lending Fund,
a separate State Street Bank collective investment fund which invests in
securities contained in the Russell 3000 Index. This underlying fund's
financial statements are available from State Street Bank upon request.
Intermediate Bond Fund--invests primarily in debt securities of
varying maturities, with an average portfolio duration of three to six
years, with the objective of achieving a competitive total return from
current income and capital appreciation.
International Equity Fund--long term growth of capital through
investment in common stocks and other equity securities of established
non-U.S. companies.
Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund--long term growth of capital and some
dividend income through investment in common stocks and equity-type
securities of large, well established companies. Currently invests in
common stocks and the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000
Growth Index Securities Lending Fund, a separate State Street Bank
collective investment fund which invests in securities contained in the
Russell 1000 Growth Index. As of March 31, 2005, 31.9% of the Fund's net
assets were invested in the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell
1000 Growth Index Securities Lending Fund. This underlying fund's
financial statements are available from State Street Bank upon request.
Large-Cap Value Equity Fund--long term growth of capital and dividend
income through investment in common stocks, primarily of large
capitalization companies believed to be undervalued. Currently invests in
common stocks and the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell 1000
Value Index Securities Lending Fund, a separate State Street Bank
collective investment fund which invests in securities contained in the
Russell 1000 Value Index. As of March 31, 2005, 23.7% of the Fund's net
assets were invested in the State Street Bank and Trust Company Russell
1000 Value Index Securities Lending Fund. This underlying fund's financial
statements are available from State Street Bank upon request.
Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund--long term growth of capital through
investment in common stocks, primarily of medium sized companies believed
to have strong earnings growth potential.
53
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Unaudited Notes to Financial Statements -- (Continued)
Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund--long term growth of capital through
investment in common stocks, primarily of medium sized companies believed
to be undervalued.
Small-Cap Equity Fund--long term growth of capital through investment
in common stocks of small companies believed to have strong appreciation
potential.
Stable Asset Return Fund ("SARF")--current income consistent with
preserving principal and maintaining liquidity through investment in high
quality short-term instruments and investment contracts of insurance
companies, banks and financial institutions. Currently, SARF invests in
the State Street Bank ABA Members/Pooled Stable Asset Fund Trust ("SAFT"),
a separate State Street Bank collective investment fund which invests in
investment contracts of insurance companies, banks and financial
institutions, and in the State Street Bank and Trust Company Yield
Enhanced Short-Term Investment Fund ("YES") a separate State Street Bank
collective investment fund. The financial statements of YES are available
from State Street Bank upon request.
Structured Portfolio Service
Conservative--higher current investment income and some capital
appreciation.
Moderate--high current investment income and greater capital
appreciation.
Aggressive--long-term growth of capital and lower current
investment income. In seeking its objective, each Structured
Portfolio Service conducts a monthly pre-determined investment
rebalancing in the Funds.
All the Funds may invest in YES, a collective investment fund advised by
State Street Global Advisors, a division of State Street Bank. The underlying
collective investment fund's financial statements are available from State
Street Bank upon request.
The Trust may offer and sell an unlimited number of units representing
interests in separate Funds and Portfolios of the Trust, each unit to be
offered and sold at the per unit net asset value of the corresponding Fund or
Portfolio.
State Street offers and administers the investment options for the Program
available under the Collective Trust.
State Street is a nondepository trust company established under the laws
of the State of New Hampshire and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street
Bank. State Street has assumed responsibility for administering and providing
investment options for the Program under the Structured Portfolio Service.
State Street Bank is a trust company established under the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street
Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation and a holding company registered under
the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.
State Street Bank is responsible for certain recordkeeping and
administrative services required by the Program. State Street has delegated to
State Street Bank the responsibility to provide services to the Collective
Trust on behalf of State Street. In addition, State Street Bank is the primary
custodian, provides account and investment information to employers and
participants, receives all plan contributions, effects investment and transfer
transactions and distributes all benefits provided by the plans to the
participants or, in the case of some individually designed plans, to the
trustees of such plans.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and certain financial
data have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Such principles were applied on a
basis consistent with those reflected in the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K of
the Trust as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
accompanying financial data should be read in conjunction with these Notes to
the Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Balanced Fund, Index Equity Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, International Equity
Fund, Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund, Large-Cap Value Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Growth
Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund, Small-Cap Equity Fund, Stable Asset
Return Fund, Conservative Structured Portfolio Service, Moderate Structured
Portfolio Service and Aggressive Structured Portfolio Service as of March 31,
2005 and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their
net assets and certain financial data for the period ended March 31, 2005.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The
policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and provisions of the Trust agreement:
A. Security Valuation
All Funds and Portfolios (Other than SARF): Stocks listed on the national
securities and certain over-the-counter issues traded on the Nasdaq National
Market ("NASDAQ") are generally valued at the last sale price, or, Official
Close Price, or, if no sale, at the latest available bid price. Securities
participating in the NASDAQ Closing Cross will generally be valued at the
NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") that results from the Closing Cross.
Other unlisted stocks reported on the NASDAQ system are generally valued at
quoted bid prices.
Unless believed no longer to accurately reflect value or to be reliable,
foreign securities not traded directly or in the form of American Depositary
Receipts (ADRs) in the United States are valued in the local currency at the
last sale price on the applicable exchange on which such securities trade and
such values are converted into the U.S. dollar equivalent at current exchange
rates.
United States Treasury securities and other obligations issued or
guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities
are valued at representative quoted prices.
Fixed income investments are generally valued on the basis of valuations
furnished by a pricing service approved by the Trustee, which can include
valuations using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities
and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by
institutional traders. If not valued by a pricing service, such securities are
valued at prices obtained from independent brokers. Convertible bonds and
unlisted convertible preferred stocks are valued at bid prices obtained from
one or more major dealers in such securities. Where there is a discrepancy
between dealers, values may be adjusted based on recent discount spreads to the
underlying common stock.
Investments with prices that cannot be readily obtained or that State
Street considers to be unreliable, if any, are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by
and under the supervision of the State Street.
The values of investments in collective investment funds and registered
open-end investment companies are based on the net asset value of the
respective collective investment fund or registered investment company.
Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price at the end of
each day on the board of trade or exchange upon which they are traded.
55
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Unaudited Notes to Financial Statements -- (Continued)
Stable Asset Return Fund: SARF invests in SAFT, whose investments include
insurance company, bank and financial institution investment contracts and
investments in YES. The short-term portfolio instruments of the collective
investment fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates
fair value. Amortized cost involves valuing an instrument initially at its cost
and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market
value of the instrument. As the contracts are benefit-responsive and the Fund's
investors are participants in qualified benefits plans, the insurance company,
bank and financial institution investment contracts are maintained at contract
value (cost plus accrued interest). The values of investments in collective
investment funds are based on the net asset values of such respective
collective investment funds.
The rate at which return is credited to participant accounts ("crediting
rate") can change as the difference between market value and book value of the
covered assets changes. As a result, the crediting rate will generally reflect,
over time, movements in prevailing interest rates. However, at times it may be
less (e.g., when the fair value of the "wrapped" assets is less than contract
value) or more (e.g., when the fair value of the "wrapped" assets exceeds
contract value) than the prevailing interest rate or the actual income earned
on the covered assets. The degree of any increase or decrease in the crediting
rate will depend on the amount of the difference and duration of the SARF's
portfolio. The crediting rate may also be affected by increases and decreases
of the amount of covered assets under the wrapper agreement as a result of
contributions to and withdrawals from the Fund shares resulting from
participant transactions. Thus, to the extent the crediting rate remains below
prevailing interest rates, participants contributing to the fund will share in
that lower crediting rate; similarly, to the extent the crediting rate exceeds
current market rates, withdrawing participants will cede any benefit related to
that higher crediting rate to the remaining participants.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") is reviewing whether
contract value accounting should continue to be applicable to investment
contracts held by certain pooled investment vehicles such as SAFT. The timing
and results of this review cannot be predicted. If it is determined that
contract value accounting is no longer appropriate for the investment contracts
held by SAFT, such contracts would presumably be subject to valuation at
market, and SAFT, and hence SARF, would no longer be able to maintain a stable
net asset value and crediting rates, as described above. For example, the
reported fair value of the fixed-income investment portfolio covered by one or
more "wrapper" agreements would be expected to more closely conform to the
current fair value of the underlying fixed-income investments.
B. Security Transactions and Related Investment Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date on
which the order to buy or sell is executed). Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest
income is increased by accretion of discount and reduced by amortization of
premium. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of the identified
cost of securities delivered. Distributions received from collective investment
funds, if any, retain the character as earned by the underlying funds.
A Fund's portfolio of investments may include securities purchased on a
when-issued basis, which may be settled in the month after the issue date.
Interest income is not accrued until the settlement date.
Certain collective investment funds and registered investment companies in
which the Funds invest may retain investment income and net realized gains.
Accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses reported by a Fund may
include a component attributable to investment income of the underlying funds.
C. Foreign Currency Transactions
The accounting records of the Funds and Portfolios are maintained in U.S.
dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in
a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars
56
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Unaudited Notes to Financial Statements -- (Continued)
at the prevailing rates of exchange at period-end. Purchases and sales of
securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from disposition of foreign currencies, currency
gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities
transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income
accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities and derivatives
(other than foreign currency contracts) are not segregated in the Statement of
Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities,
but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on
investments in securities.
Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in
the value of other assets and liabilities as a result of changes in foreign
exchange rates are included as increases and decreases in unrealized
appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency related transactions.
D. Income Taxes
The Trust has received a favorable determination letter dated March 9,
1992 from the Internal Revenue Service, which concluded that the Trust is a
trust arrangement described in Rev. Rule. 81-100, 1981, C.B. 326, as modified
by Rev. Rul. 2004-67, 2004-28 I.R.B. 28, and exempt from Federal income tax
pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no
provision for Federal income taxes is required.
E. Sales and Redemptions of Units of Participation and Distributions
The units offered represent interests in the Funds and Portfolios
established under the Trust. The Trust may offer and sell an unlimited number
of units. Each unit will be offered and sold daily at the offering Fund's or
Portfolio's net asset value.
Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Funds and Portfolios are not
required to distribute their net investment income or gains from the sale of
portfolio investments.
F. TBA Commitments and Roll Transactions
The Balanced Fund and Intermediate Bond Fund may enter into TBA (to be
announced) commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at a
future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the unit price for a TBA
has been established, the principal value has not been finalized. However, the
amount of the TBA commitment will not fluctuate more than 1.0% from the
principal amount. These Funds hold, and maintain until the settlement date,
cash or liquid securities in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price.
TBA commitments may be considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk
of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the
settlement date, and such risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the
value of these Funds' other assets. These contracts also present a risk from
the potential inability of counterparties to meet their contractual
obligations. During the period prior to settlement, these Funds will not be
entitled to accrue interest and/or receive principal payments. Unsettled TBA
commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying
securities, generally according to the procedures described under "Security
Valuation" above. These Funds may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement
if the Fund's advisor deems it appropriate to do so. Upon settlement date,
these Funds may take delivery of the securities or defer (roll) the delivery to
the next month.
G. Futures Contracts
The Intermediate Bond Fund may use, on a limited basis, futures contracts
to manage exposure to the bond market, and as a substitute for acquiring market
positions in securities comparable to those held by
57
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Unaudited Notes to Financial Statements -- (Continued)
the Fund (with respect to the portion of its portfolio that is held in cash
items). Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument. Selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument, or hedge other investments. Futures contracts involve,
to varying degrees, credit and market risks.
The Fund enters into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of
trade where the exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to the
transaction. Thus, credit risk on such transactions is limited to the failure
of the exchange or board of trade. Losses in value may arise from changes in
the value of the underlying instruments or from illiquidity in the secondary
market for the contracts. In addition, there is the risk that there may not be
an exact correlation between a futures contract and the underlying index.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit
either in cash or securities an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain
percentage of the nominal value of the contract. Subsequent payments are made
or received by the Fund periodically, depending on the daily fluctuation in the
value of the underlying securities, and are recorded as unrealized gains or
losses by the Fund. A gain or loss is realized when the contract is closed or
expires.
At March 31, 2005, the Intermediate Bond Fund held the following futures
contracts:

H. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Intermediate Bond Fund and the International Equity Fund may use
forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign
securities or as a hedge against the foreign currency exposure of either
specific transactions or portfolio positions. When entering into a forward
foreign currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed
quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon future
date. Such contracts are valued based upon the difference in the forward
exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates
at the reporting date, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are
recorded in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund records realized gains or
losses at the time the forward contract is extinguished by entry into a closing
transaction or by delivery of the currency. Risks in foreign currency contracts
arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the contracts'
terms and from movements in currency values. As of March 31, 2005, the
Intermediate Bond Fund held the following forward foreign currency contracts:

I. Interest Rate Swap Contracts
The Intermediate Bond Fund may invest in swap contracts. A swap is an
agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return
generated by another instrument. The Fund uses interest rate swap contracts to
manage its exposure to interest rates. Interest rate swap contracts typically
represent the exchange of commitments to make variable rate and fixed rate
payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Swap contracts may
have a term of one to ten years, but typically require periodic interim
settlement in cash, at which time the specified variable interest rate is reset
for the next settlement period. During the period that the swap contract is
open, the contract is marked-to-market as the net amount due to or from the
Fund in accordance with the terms of the contract based on the closing level of
the interest accrual through valuation date. Changes in the value of swap
contracts are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. Periodic cash settlements
on interest rate swaps are recorded as adjustments to realized gains or losses.
Entering into a swap contract involves, to varying degrees, elements of
credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts reported in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Notional principal amounts are used to
express the extent of involvement in the transactions, but are not delivered
under the contracts. Accordingly, credit risk is limited to any amounts
receivable from the counterparty. To reduce credit risk from potential
counterparty default, the Fund enters into swap contracts with counterparties
whose creditworthiness has been approved by the Advisor. The Fund bears the
market risk arising from any change in interest rates.
At March 31, 2005, the Intermediate Bond Fund held the following interest
rate swap contracts:

J. Option and Swaption Contracts
The Intermediate Bond Fund may purchase or write option contracts to
manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or hedge the fair value of
other Fund investments. The premium paid by a Fund for the purchase of a call
or put option is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as
an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market
value of the option purchased. If an option which the Fund has purchased
expires on its stipulated expiration date, the Fund realizes a loss for the
amount of the cost of the option. If the Fund enters into a closing
transaction, it realizes a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from
the sale are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises
a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying
security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium
originally paid. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security
which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium
originally paid.
The premium received by a Fund for a written option is recorded as a
liability. The liability is marked-to-market based on the option's quoted daily
settlement price. When an option expires or the Fund enters into a closing
purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the
closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was
sold) without regard to any
59
American Bar Association Members/State Street Collective Trust
Unaudited Notes to Financial Statements -- (Continued)
unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security and the liability related to
such option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the Fund
realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the
proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a
written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received
will reduce the cost of the security which the Fund is obligated to purchase.
The Intermediate Bond Fund may also purchase or write swaption contracts
to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or hedge the fair value of
other Fund investments. Swaption contracts entered into by the Fund typically
represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation,
to enter into a swap contract on a future date. If a call swaption is
exercised, the purchaser will enter a swap to receive the fixed rate and pay a
floating rate in exchange. Exercising a put would entitle the purchaser to pay
a fixed rate and receive a floating rate.
Swaption contracts are marked-to-market at the net amount due to or from
the Fund in accordance with the terms of the contract based on the closing
level of the relevant market rate of interest. Changes in the value of the
swaption are reported as unrealized gains or losses. Gain or loss is recognized
when the swaption contract expires or is closed. When the Fund writes a
swaption, the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently
adjusted to the current fair value of the swaption written. Premiums received
from writing swaptions that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the
expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the
premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction,
including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the
premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase, as a realized
loss.
Entering into option and swaption contracts involves, to varying degrees,
the elements of credit, market and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts
reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. To reduce credit risk from
potential counterparty default, the Fund enters into these contracts with
counterparties whose creditworthiness has been approved by the Advisor. The
Fund bears the market risk arising from any change in index values or interest
rates.
A summary of the written put options and swaptions for the period ended
March 31, 2005 is as follows:

K. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
L. Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that
contain a variety of representations and that may contain general
indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure under these provisions is
unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the
Trust. The Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
3. Investment Advisory, Investment Management and Related Party Transactions
State Street has retained the services of the sub-advisors listed below to
advise it with respect to its investment responsibility and has allocated the
assets of certain of the Funds among the investment advisors. Each investment
advisor recommends to State Street investments and reinvestments of the assets
allocated to it in accordance with the investment policies of the applicable
Fund as described above. State Street exercises discretion with respect to the
selection and retention of the investment advisors and may remove, upon
consultation with ABRA, an investment advisor at any time.
A fee is paid to each investment advisor for certain of the Funds based on
the value of the assets allocated to that investment advisor and the respective
breakpoints agreed to in the advisor's contract. These fees are accrued on a
daily basis and paid monthly or quarterly from the assets. Actual fees paid to
each investment advisor during 2004 are disclosed in the prospectus and on the
next page. Fee rate ranges are as follows:

A separate program fee ("Program fee") is paid to each of State Street
Bank and ABRA. These fees are allocated to each Fund based on net asset value
and are accrued daily and paid monthly from the assets of the Funds. (State
Street does not receive any fees or payments in respect of expenses from the
Collective Trust, rather State Street is entitled to payment for services from
State Street Bank.)
The ABRA Program fee is based on the value of Program assets and the
following annual fee rates:
Rate for ABRA Period ended
Value of Program Assets March 31, 2005
- ----------------------- --------------------------
First $500 million .075%
Next $850 million .065%
Next $1.15 billion .035%
Next $1.5 billion .025%
Over $4.0 billion .015%
ABRA received Program fees of $405,578 for the period ended March 31,
2005. These fees are allocated to each Fund based on net asset value.
The State Street Bank Program fee is calculated monthly as one-twelfth of
the sum of (i) $800,000 plus (ii) $194 multiplied by the number of participants
in the Program, other than active participants without account balances, as of
the last business day of the preceding month, plus (iii) $194 multiplied by the
excess, if any, of the number of active participants of the Program without
account balances as of the last Business Day of the preceding month over the
number of such participants as of December 31, 2002. This fee is accrued daily
and paid monthly.
A portion of the State Street Bank Program fee is reimbursed or reduced
each year based on the amount of retirement plan assets held by State Street
Bank on behalf of law firm and law-related clients identified by State Street
Bank and ABRA that do not participate in the Program. The amount of the
reimbursement is equal to .02% of the first $50 million of assets in such plans
during the preceding year and .01% of any such assets in excess of $50 million.
The accrued reduction for the period ended March 31, 2005 totaled $8,221 and is
allocated to each Fund based on net asset value.
Benefit payments under the Program generally are made by check. Before
such a check becomes payable, funds for its payment are transferred from the
Collective Trust to a non-interest bearing account with State Street Bank. No
separate fee is charged for processing benefit payments. Rather, State Street
Bank retains any earnings attributable to outstanding benefit checks, and these
earnings have been taken into account in setting State Street Bank's fees under
the Program. The Program fee paid to State Street
62
Bank reflects a $300,000 annual reduction for earnings estimated to be
attributable to outstanding benefit checks for 2004.
A fee is paid to State Street Bank for its management, administration and
custody of the assets in the investment options (other than Self-Managed
Brokerage Accounts and Equitable Real Estate Accounts). This fee is accrued on
a daily basis and paid monthly from the net assets of the Funds. The trustee,
management and administrative fees attributable to the Funds held in the
Structured Portfolio Service are also accrued and paid from the Funds at the
following rates:

State Street Bank received program fees of $2,543,250 for the period ended
March 31, 2005 and trustee, management and administration fees which aggregated
$699,790 for the period ended March 31, 2005. These fees are allocated to each
Fund based on net asset value.
The Portfolios of the Structured Portfolio Service are not charged a
separate trustee, management, administration or program fee.

5. Risks Associated with Investments of the Trust
American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") represent ownership of foreign
securities on deposit with a domestic custodian bank. Certain Funds maintain
investments in ADRs, as well as direct investments in foreign securities, which
involve special risks. These securities may be subject to foreign government
taxes that reduce their attractiveness. Other risks of investing in such
securities include political or economic instability in the country involved,
the difficulty of predicting international trade patterns and the possibility
of the imposition of exchange controls. Foreign issuers generally are not
subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards
comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. There is generally less
regulation of stock exchanges, brokers, banks and companies abroad than in the
United States. With respect to certain foreign countries, there is a
possibility of expropriation or diplomatic developments, which could adversely
affect investment in these countries. ADRs do not lessen the risk of investing
in foreign issuers; however, by investing in ADRs rather than directly in
foreign issuers' stock, the Funds will avoid currency risks during the
settlement period for purchases or sales. In addition, the domestic market for
ADRs may be more liquid than the foreign market for the underlying securities.
Substantially all of the Small-Cap Equity Fund's investments are in
securities of small companies, which typically have greater market and
financial risk than larger, more diversified companies. These companies are
often dependent on one or two products in rapidly changing industries and may
be more vulnerable to competition from larger companies with greater resources
and to economic conditions that affect their market sector.
SARF invests in a collective investment fund that maintains investments in
contracts issued by insurance companies, banks and financial institutions. The
issuing institution's ability to meet its contractual obligations under the
respective contracts may be affected by future economic and regulatory
developments.
6. Securities Lending Income
The Funds in the Trust are authorized to participate in the Securities
Lending Program administered by State Street Bank, under which securities held
by the Funds are loaned by State Street Bank, as the Funds' lending agent, to
certain brokers and other financial institutions (the "Borrowers"). The
Borrowers provide cash, securities or letters of credit as collateral against
loans in the amount at least equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned
securities. The Borrowers are required to maintain the collateral at not less
than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Cash collateral is
invested in State Street Quality D Short-Term Investment Fund.
Certain Funds in the Trust also invest in collective investment funds
which loan out a portion of their securities to qualified Borrowers under
identical collateral requirements described above.
A portion of the income generated upon investment of cash collateral is
remitted to the Borrowers, and the remainder is allocated between the Fund
lending the securities and State Street Bank in its capacity as lending agent.

Non-cash collateral received for securities on loan are held in a
segregated account by the lending agent. The Funds are not entitled to any
income from the securities. Should the borrowers fail to meet their obligations
under the lending agreement, the Funds would take possession of the securities.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Stable Asset Return Fund
The Stable Asset Return Fund invests primarily in investment contracts
issued by insurance companies, banks or other financial institutions. The
Stable Asset Return Fund also invests in high quality money market
instruments, including obligations of the United States government, notes,
bonds and similar debt instruments of corporations, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit and time deposits, bankers' acceptances, variable and
indexed notes and repurchase agreements.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Stable Asset Return Fund
experienced an annualized total return, net of expenses, of 3.17%. By
comparison, the Ryan Labs Three Year GIC Index and the Money Fund Report "Tier
One" Money Market Fund Average, weighted 70%/30%, respectively, produced an
investment record of 2.83% for the same period. The Ryan Labs Three Year GIC
Index portion of the combination benchmark does not include an allowance for
the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that
comprise the Index or for fund expenses.
The Stable Asset Return Fund outperformed the combination benchmark for
the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The money market portion of the portfolio
was structured in anticipation of continued Federal Funds rate increases in
the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The weighted average maturity of the
portfolio was approximately 30 days, on average, until mid-March, when
three-month money market instruments starting pricing in the potential for a
50 basis point increase on May 3, 2005. The portfolio took advantage of this
yield versus breakeven analysis and extended maturities. By the end of March,
the weighted average maturity had increased to 43 days. The portfolio remained
fairly liquid to allow for maturing instruments to be reinvested more quickly
as the Federal Reserve increased interest rates.
With respect to the investment contract portion of the portfolio, home
equity securities added to the portfolio in February were the key contributor
to the outperformance, providing both diversification and yield enhancement.
The addition of these bonds yielded approximately 131 basis points more than
the total SARF yield at the time of purchase. Additionally, investments in the
portfolio had a weighted
66
average duration of approximately four years, compared to a three-year maximum
duration of instruments comprising the Ryan Labs Three Year GIC Index. This
focus on longer duration added to the outperformance, although the impact of
this contribution is diminishing when compared to the impact in 2004.
Intermediate Bond Fund
The Intermediate Bond Fund's investment objective is to achieve a total
return from current income and capital appreciation by investing in a
portfolio of fixed income securities.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Intermediate Bond Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (0.32)%. By comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index produced an investment record of (0.48)%
for the same period. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index does not include
an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the
securities that comprise the Index or for fund expenses.
The Intermediate Bond Fund, which is advised by Pacific Investment
Management Company LLC, outperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Certain defensive interest rate and
sector strategies together with broad diversification contributed to the
outperformance. During the quarter, interest rate strategies overall were
mixed for performance. A below benchmark duration helped performance as
interest rates rose but an underweight to longer maturities detracted from
returns as longer maturities rallied. In the government sector, an allocation
to Treasury Inflation Protection Bonds (TIPS) was slightly positive as nominal
yields rose more than real yields. In the mortgages and corporates sectors,
underweighting expensive mortgages and corporates was positive for
performance. Mortgage yield premiums widened amid heightened volatility while
concerns about GM caused historically tight credit premiums to widen.
Municipal bonds also helped returns in a volatile market as a stable base of
retail demand supported municipal returns. Diversifying outside the U.S. via
exposure to [Eurozone issues] was positive as rate movements were milder
outside the U.S.
Balanced Fund
The Balanced Fund invests in publicly-traded common stocks, other equity
securities, long-term debt securities and money market instruments. The
Balanced Fund seeks to achieve, over an extended period of time, total returns
comparable to or superior to an appropriate combination of broad measures of
the domestic stock and bond markets.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Balanced Fund experienced a
total return, net of expenses, of (1.83)%. By comparison, a combination of the
Russell 1000 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, weighted
60%/40%, respectively, produced an investment record of (1.31)% for the same
period. The Russell 1000 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index do
not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would pay for investing
in the securities that comprise the indices or for fund expenses.
The equity portion of the Balanced Fund, which is advised by Capital
Guardian Trust Company, underperformed the Russell 1000 Index for the quarter
ended March 31, 2005. Poor stock selection in the healthcare sector was
responsible for the majority of the portfolio's underperformance due in large
part to the portfolio's large holding in Forest Labs. Portfolio results were
helped by the portfolio's overweight in energy stocks. Four of the top five
absolute contributors in the
67
portfolio were components of the energy sector. Stock selection in the
industrials sector also helped relative and absolute performance.
The fixed income portion of the Balanced Fund, which is advised by
Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, outperformed the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Certain defensive
interest rate and sector strategies together with broad diversification
contributed to the outperformance. During the quarter, interest rate
strategies overall were mixed for performance. A below benchmark duration
helped performance as interest rates rose but an underweight to longer
maturities detracted from returns as longer maturities rallied. In the
government sector, an allocation to Treasury Inflation Protection Bonds (TIPS)
was slightly positive as nominal yields rose more than real yields. In the
mortgages and corporates sectors, underweighting expensive mortgages and
corporates was positive for performance. Mortgage yield premiums widened amid
heightened volatility while concerns about GM caused historically tight credit
premiums to widen. Municipal bonds also helped returns in a volatile market as
a stable base of retail demand supported municipal returns. Diversifying
outside the U.S. via exposure to [Eurozone issues] was positive as rate
movements were milder outside the U.S.
Large-Cap Value Equity Fund
The Large-Cap Value Equity Fund seeks to outperform, over extended
periods of time, broad measures of the domestic stock market. The Fund invests
primarily in common stocks and other equity-type securities of companies with
market capitalizations greater than $1 billion that State Street and the
Fund's Investment Advisor consider undervalued. A portion of the Fund
(approximately 25%) is invested to replicate the Russell 1000 Value Index,
which is comprised of those Russell 1000 stocks with a greater than average
value orientation. The remainder of the Large-Cap Value Equity Fund is
actively managed.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Large-Cap Value Equity Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (0.49)%. By comparison, the
Russell 1000 Value Index produced an investment record of 0.09% for the same
period. The Russell 1000 Value Index does not include an allowance for the fees
that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the
Index or for fund expenses.
The actively managed portion of the Large-Cap Value Equity Fund, which is
advised by Alliance Capital Management L.P., underperformed the Russell 1000
Value Index for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The largest detractions from
performance came from the portfolio's overweight in the technology sector and
its underweight in the energy sector. Technology stocks trailed the market
during the quarter, causing the overweight of the sector to detract from
relative performance and several of the holdings, such as Solectron, traded
down and diminished returns. Energy shares widely outpaced the market in the
first three months of the year. In this environment, the underweight of the
strong sector detracted from performance. In particular, the portfolio's
underweight of Exxon Mobil and avoidance of Valero Energy and Unocal hurt
performance. On the positive side, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, and
Marathon Oil, securities that were emphasized in the portfolio, were also up
during the quarter, benefiting from strong refining margins.
Several of the portfolio's investments in the capital equipment sector, of
which the most notable were positions in Cooper Industries and Boeing,
contributed to relative returns during the quarter. Cooper Industries, a
manufacturer of electrical products and tools and hardware, outperformed late
in the quarter due in part to orders improving during March. Strength in U.S.
residential construction activity and better prospects in commercial
construction also added to Cooper Industries' performance. Boeing, a global
commercial and defense aerospace company, was up late in the quarter due in
part to increased
68
commercial aircraft orders, the lifting of the ban on government space launch
bidding and progress on a comprehensive settlement regarding past ethics
issues.
The performance of the indexed portion of the Large-Cap Value Equity Fund
for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was consistent with the Russell 1000 Value
Index after taking into account expenses.
Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund
The Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund invests primarily in common stocks and
other equity-type securities of companies with market capitalizations greater
than $1 billion at the time of purchase. The Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund seeks
to achieve long-term growth of capital through increases in the value of the
securities its holds and to realize income principally from dividends on such
securities. A portion of the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund (approximately 33-
1/3%) is invested to replicate the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which is
comprised of those Russell 1000 securities with a greater than average growth
orientation. The remainder of the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund is actively
managed. The Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund seeks to achieve, over an extended
period of time, total returns that are comparable to or superior to those
attained by broad measures of the domestic stock market.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (4.09)%. By comparison, the
Russell 1000 Growth Index produced an investment record of (4.09)% for the same
period. The Russell 1000 Growth Index does not include an allowance for the
fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise
the Index or for fund expenses.
The portion of the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund which is advised by
Capital Guardian Trust Company outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index for
the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Portfolio results were helped by the
portfolio's overweight in energy stocks. Four of the top five absolute
contributors in the portfolio were components of the energy sector. Good stock
selection in the industrials sector also helped relative and absolute
performance. Poor stock selection in the healthcare sector detracted from
performance due in large part to the portfolio's large holding in Forest Labs.
The other actively managed portion of the Large-Cap Growth Equity Fund,
which is advised by RCM Capital Management LLC, underperformed the Russell 1000
Growth Index for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Positive stock selection
within computers & peripherals, diversified financials and internet software &
services aided performance for the quarter. Stock selection within
biotechnology, capital goods and hotels restaurants & leisure detracted from
returns. A substantial drop in two biotechnology stocks, Biogen Idec and Elan
Corp., on the last day of February detracted from performance.
During the quarter, industry strategy for the portfolio also contributed
to the underperformance. The overweight in the internet software and services
and the biotechnology sectors and the underweight in healthcare providers and
services and pharmaceuticals sector hurt performance while an overweight in the
energy, capital goods and food & drug retailing sectors and a underweight in
the communications equipment and insurance sectors helped performance.
The performance of the indexed portion of the Fund for the quarter ended
March 31, 2005 was consistent with the Russell 1000 Growth Index after taking
into account expenses.
69
Index Equity Fund
The Index Equity Fund invests in common stocks of U.S. companies which are
included in the Russell 3000 Index, with the overall objective of achieving
long-term growth of capital. The Russell 3000 Index represents approximately
98% of the U.S. equity market based on market capitalization of the companies
in the Russell 3000 Index.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Index Equity Fund experienced a
total return, net of expenses, of (2.29)%. By comparison, the Russell 3000
Index produced an investment record of (2.20)% for the same period. The Russell
3000 Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an investor would
pay for investing in the securities that comprise the Index or for fund
expenses.
The performance of the Index Equity Fund for the quarter was consistent
with the Russell 3000 Index after taking into account expenses.
Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund
The Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund invests primarily in equity securities of
companies with market capitalizations between $1 billion and $12 billion at the
time of investment. The Fund seeks to be broadly diversified and emphasizes
sectors and securities that State Street and the Fund's Investment Advisor
consider undervalued. The Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund seeks to achieve, over an
extended period of time, total returns comparable to or superior to those
attained by broad measures of the domestic stock market.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund,
which is advised by Ariel Capital Management, LLC, experienced a total return,
net of expenses, of (2.42)%. By comparison, the Russell Mid-Cap Value Index
produced an investment record of 0.78% for the same period. The Russell
Mid-Cap Value Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an
investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the Index or
for fund expenses.
The Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund underperformed the Russell Mid-Cap Value
Index for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Stock selection contributed to this
underperformance. Holdings in MBIA Inc. and Northern Trust detracted from
performance when the MBIA Inc. stock price fell on the news that the SEC
requested additional information related to subpoenas first issued in November
2004 and Northern Trust stock dipped due to concerns over rising expenses
figures. Holdings in SunGard Data Systems and Yum! Brands contributed
positively to performance.
Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund
The Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund invests primarily in common stocks and
other equity-type securities of companies with market capitalizations between
$1 billion and $12 billion at the time of investment. The Fund emphasizes
sectors and securities that State Street and the Investment Advisor believe
have strong earnings growth potential. The Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund seeks to
achieve, over an extended period of time, total returns comparable to or
superior to those attained by broad measures of the domestic stock market.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund,
which is advised by Turner Investment Partners, experienced a total return, net
of expenses, of (2.33)%. By comparison, the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index
produced an investment record of (1.67)% for the same period. The Russell
Mid-Cap Growth Index does not include an allowance for the fees that an
investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the Index or
for fund expenses.
70
The Mid-Cap Growth Equity Fund underperformed the Russell Mid-Cap Growth
Index for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Contributing the most to
performance relative to the benchmark was stock selection in the technology
sector. Holdings in Ariba and PMC-Sierra detracted from performance but this
was partially offset by gains posted by Apple Computer, Ixia and Cognizant
Technology Solutions. The utility sector, which represented approximately 4% of
the portfolio's market value, advanced over 23% during the quarter. Within this
sector, wireless stocks NII Holdings and Western Wireless posted strong
advances as consolidation within the group continues. In addition, continued
increases in natural gas prices helped Questar Corp. for the quarter.
Stock selection in the healtchcare sector detracted most from performance
against the benchmark. Underperformance in this sector, which represented over
18% of the portfolio's market value, was specifically related to weakness in
the biotech industry. Within this industry, company specific events led to
substantial declines in several holdings, including; Eyetech Pharmaceuticals,
Medicines Company, and Elan. The majority of the underperformance in this
sector related to the decline in Polycom. This stock was sold after posting
poor fourth quarter results, and concerns that poor operating performance would
hamper earnings growth in the future.
Small-Cap Equity Fund
The Small-Cap Equity Fund invests primarily in equity securities of
companies with market capitalizations of $2.5 billion or less at the time of
investment. These companies may include new companies and companies that may
benefit from new technologies, new product or service development or management
changes. The Small-Cap Equity Fund seeks to achieve, over an extended period of
time, total returns comparable to or superior to those attained by broad
measures of the domestic stock market.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Small-Cap Equity Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of (4.16)%. By comparison, the
Russell 2000 Index produced an investment record of (5.34)% for the same
period. The Russell 2000 Index does not include an allowance for the fees that
an investor would pay for investing in the securities that comprise the Index
or for fund expenses.
The portion of the Small-Cap Equity Fund advised by Capital Guardian Trust
Company outperformed the Russell 2000 Index for the quarter ended March 31,
2005. The largest relative contributors came from stock selection in the
consumer discretionary and financials sectors. Within the consumer
discretionary sector, stock selection in areas such as restaurants, home
building and hotels helped overall returns. Within the financials sector, stock
selection in REITs helped overall returns.
The largest detractor to relative and absolute returns for the quarter
came from the industrials sector where airline stocks, and in particular Delta
Airlines, had the largest negative impact. The second largest detractor to
relative and absolute returns for the quarter came from the portfolio's
overweight position and stock selection in the information technology sector.
The portion of the Small-Cap Equity Fund advised by Wellington Asset
Management Company, LLP outperformed the Russell 2000 Index for the quarter
ended March 31, 2005. While the absolute return for the Portfolio during the
first quarter was negative, the portfolio added value relative to the benchmark
as a result of strong stock selection across sectors. Relative returns in the
healthcare sector were favorable, despite lackluster results among the
pharmaceutical and biotech stocks. Performance was helped by service providers
such as Allscripts and The Advisory Board, as well as Lifepoint Hospitals. The
Financials sector was also an area of relative strength during the first
quarter. While performance in
71
the portfolio was mixed, larger holdings in UMB Financial, First Citizens, and
IndyMac Bancorp held up well amid general weakness, boosting relative returns.
Information technology stocks fell after a brief rally in the fourth quarter of
2004 and relative performance during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was
strong, helped by several software holdings.
Stock selection in the industrials sector was an area of relative weakness
during the first quarter for the portfolio. GrafTech fell sharply after issuing
disappointing sales and earnings guidance for 2005 and relocation services
company Sirva also fell sharply after disclosing accounting issues related to
its European operations. The position was eliminated following the departure of
the CFO and the heightened uncertainty surrounding the stock.
The portion of the Small-Cap Equity Fund advised by Smith Asset Management
Group, L.P. outperformed the Russell 2000 Index for the quarter ended March 31,
2005. Relative performance was driven by above benchmark stock selection within
information technology, healthcare, and consumer discretionary sectors.
Holdings in Quality Systems, Inc. and Lca-Vision, Inc. contributed to the
outperformance.
Strategy performance was hurt by an overweight position in industrial
stocks, a slight underweight in energy stocks, and below benchmark stock
selection in energy and industrial stocks. The portfolio's holdings in Ceradyne
Incorporated detracted from performance.
International Equity Fund
The International Equity Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term
growth of capital through investment primarily in common stocks of established
non-U.S. companies. The Fund intends to diversify investments broadly among
countries of the Far East and Europe, as well as in South Africa, Australia,
Canada and other areas. The International Equity Fund seeks to achieve, over an
extended period of time, total returns comparable to or superior to broad
measures of the international (non-U.S.) stock market.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the International Equity Fund
experienced a total return, net of expenses, of 0.03%. By comparison, the
Morgan Stanley Capital International All-Country World Ex-U.S. Free Index (the
"MSCI AC World Ex-U.S. Index") produced an investment record of 0.25% for the
same period. The MSCI AC World Ex-U.S. Index does not include an allowance for
the fees that an investor would pay for investing in the securities that
comprise the Index or for fund expenses.
The portion of the International Equity Fund advised by JPMorgan Fleming
Asset Management (London) Limited underperformed the MSCI AC World Ex-U.S.
Index for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Much of the underperformance can be
traced to the healthcare and consumer staples sectors. Performance in
healthcare was undermined by positions in Astellas, Schering and Smith &
Nephew. Holdings of Morrison Supermarkets and Altadis detracted from
performance in the consumer staples sector. Earnings were also negatively
impacted by an overweight in HSBC.
On the positive side, the portfolio benefited from stock selection in the
technology and telecommunications sectors. The strong showing in the technology
sector was primarily due to holdings in Samsung Electronics. In the
telecommunications sector, the portfolio benefited from its lack of exposure to
large Continental European telecommunication companies, which experienced a
pullback. Other noteworthy contributors to performance included Talisman
Energy, CVRD and Wolseley.
72
The portion of the International Equity Fund advised by Philadelphia
International Advisors, LP outperformed the MSCI AC World Ex-U.S. Index for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005. The portfolio was not immune from broad market
forces, namely rising interest rates, higher energy prices, and U.S. dollar
strength, but outperformed the index. The primary reason for the better
quarterly return was stock selection. From an industry perspective, financials,
energy, industrials, and technology stocks performed relatively well, offset
only partially by underperformance in the telecommunications sector. In
addition, returns were helped by an underweight position in Japan and hurt by a
relatively low level of UK stock exposure.
