Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. (Continued) 1. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements, the schedule of investments and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets and liabilities of Catholic United Investment Trust – Money Market Fund, Short Bond Fund, Intermediate Diversified Bond Fund, Balanced Fund, Opportunistic Bond Fund, Value Equity Fund, Core Equity Index Fund, Growth Fund, International Equity Fund, and Small Capitalization Equity Index Fund as of December 31, 2015, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for the periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the financial highlights for the periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

  • Introductory Note
    Introductory Note: Section 58 of the New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income Act 2001 requires that the Guardians must invest the Fund on a prudent, commercial basis, and in a manner consistent with best-practice portfolio management. The Guardians have determined that this requires broad diversification of investments. The Fund’s investment strategy includes holding investments benchmarked to global market indices. On 30 June 2011, the Fund’s portfolio held over 6000 listed companies, providing diversification across most of the world’s countries and industries. The Table below sets out our direct exposure to listed companies, by country of exposure. Country of exposure is defined as location of the ultimate global parent's place of incorporation, except in the case of tax haven countries, where we instead look to the place of business for the headquarters of the ultimate global parent. The Fund also has indirect exposure to other companies through total return swaps linked to market indices and through investment in pooled funds. As the Fund increases in value, both the number of securities and the average size of each holding tend to increase.

On February 9, 2010, the Special Committee of the Board and HCC approved and executed a Recapitalization Term Sheet, representing non-binding terms of recapitalization transactions for the Company. On February 26, 2010, the Company entered into the Master Recapitalization Agreement with Hallmark Cards, H C Crown Corp. ("HCC") and related entities that provides for the recapitalization transactions (the "Recapitalization"). The Recapitalization transactions include, among other things, $315.0 million principal amount of HCC debt being restructured into new debt instruments, $185.0 million principal amount of HCC debt being converted into convertible preferred stock of the Company, Class B Common Stock being converted into Class A Common Stock with Class A Common Stock becoming the only authorized and outstanding common stock of the Company, and the balance of HCC debt, which was approximately $600 million at December 31, 2009, being converted into shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company.
