Dear Mr. Naquin:

In my capacity as the Executive Vice President and Treasurer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

("MIT"), a nonprofit university, I serve as MIT's Chief Financial Officer. This letter is in support of MIT's use of the self-guarantee financial test to demonstrate financial assurance, as specified in 10 CFR Part 70 and 10 CFR Part 72, as ongoing compliance with MIT's Self-Guarantee Agreement, dated May 3, 2010 (the "Agreement"), and approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on July 16, 2010. In order to demonstrate ongoing compliance with the Agreement and 10 CFR Part 70 and 10 CFR Part 72, and MIT's ability to self-guarantee the decommissioning of th_e following facilities owned or operated by MIT, the current cost estimates or certified amounts for decommissioning each facility, so guaranteed, are shown below, along with their calculation (if applicable), and supporting attachments are enclosed:

Name of Facility MIT License Number SNM-986 MIT Research Reactor R-37 A. License No. SNM-986 Location of Facility 77 Massachusetts Ave. Cambridge, MA 02139 138 Albany St. Cambridge, MA 02139 Certified Amounts or Current Cost Estimates

$1,125,000.00

$36,594,000.00 Based upon the applicable quantities of special nuclear materials stored at this facility, in accordance with 10 C.F.R. 70.25(d), MIT must guarantee the statutory minimum of $1,125,000 for the proper disposal of these materials.

B. License No. R-37

1. Justification for 2005 $23M Decommissioning Estimate:

Duke Engineering provided MIT with a cost estimate of $23.0M. That study was completed in November 2001. It included a 10% contingency.

Inflation was quite low and for some sectors of the economy slightly negative for the years 2001-2005.

Accordingly, for our 2006 submittal, we used the uninflated detailed Duke estimate which was $23.0M. For 2008, we provided an estimate of $29.8 million, based on separate inflation factors applied against the labor costs, using the NUREG-1307, Rev. 12, Page D.1, Example 2,(Northeast Region) of 1.40 (labor) and 1.72 (burial).

2. Decommissioning Estimate for 2017: For 2017, we estimate the decommissioning cost of the MIT Reactor to be $36.6 million. This figure is obtained by taking the $23.0M Duke estimate as a base and inflating it for both the cost of labor and burial as shown below: Duke Study 23,000,000

%Total NU REG Inflater 36,594,000.00 Inflation Model Labor Portion 20,470,000 89% Labor 1.5301 31,321,000.00*

Burial Portion 2,530,000 11% Burial 2.0840 5,273,000.00*

Please note that labor was 89% of the total estimate and burial was 11%. The inflater figures are obtained from NUREG-1307, Rev. 15, Page D.l, Example 2 (Appendix D). We take the date of completion of the Duke study to be 2002 as this is closest to the actual date of November 2001. For labor, the cost index is 2.52 in 2012 and 1.862 for 2002. We assume that cost increases are linear through 2017 and obtain: (1.862+ ((2.52-1.862)/

(2012-2002))(2017-2002))

= 2.849 The inflation factor for 2017 as compared to 2002 is therefore 2.849/1.862 or 1.5301. Hence, the labor portion of the cost is ($20.5M) (1.5301) or $31.321 million. For burial, the same approach is used to yield a factor of 37 .35, an inflation factor of 2.0840 and a cost of $5.27 million (*Please refer to Attachment 1-Calculations adjusted due to rounding.).

I hereby certify that MIT is currently a going concern, and that it possesses positive tangible net worth in the amount of $17 .1 billion, as of the fiscal 'year ending on June 30, 2016. This figure is derived from MIT's independently audited, year-end financial statements and footnotes for the latest completed fiscal year, which is enclosed.

MIT's independent auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, has included its review of this letter, which is also enclosed.

MIT is not required to file a Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the latest fiscal year. MIT satisfies the following self-guarantee test:

_L pwc Report of Independent Accountants To the Corporation of Massachusetts Institute of Technology:

We have performed the procedures included in the Consolidated NMAA Decommissioning Guidance -Financial Assurance, Recordkeeping, and Timeliness (NUREG-1757, Volume 3, Revision 1, Appendix A) and enumerated below, which were agreed to by management of Massachusetts Institute of Technology

("the Institute"), solely to assist you in evaluating the Institute's compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's financial assurance regulations, 10 CFR Part 70 and 72 with respect to NRC MIT licenses SNM-986 and R-37. Management is responsible for the Institute's compliance with those regulations.

This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. The procedures and associated findings performed in relation to the CFO's Letter dated September 30, 2016 are as follows: 1. We confirmed that the total tangible net worth in the CFO's Letter agrees with total net assets contained in the Institute's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016, which we have audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and have issued our report thereon dated September 9, 2016. A tie-out of the financial statements to the CFO's Letter is shown in the accompanying schedule to this report. 2. We inquired of management as to the existence of any reconciling items between the CFO's Letter and the audited financial statements noting that there are none; 3. We mathematically checked the totals in the accompanying schedule and recomputed the current cost estimates of decommissioning for each facility listed per the CFO's Letter. 4. We compared the bond ratings in the CFO's Letter to the information obtained from external, publically available source as follows: Rating Rating per the per CFO's External Letter Source External Source AAA AAA www.standardandnoors.com

5. A requirement in 10 CFR 30 App E II.C.(1) is the accountant must evaluate the licensee's balance sheet transactions and provide an opinion on whether those transactions could materially adversely affect the licensee's ability to pay for decommissioning costs. However, the guidelines PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 101 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, MA 02210 T: (617) 530 5000, F: (617) 530 5001, www.pwc.com/us

_L pwc established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICP A) prohibit an accountant from rendering an opinion of the type required by the regulation cited above. As a result, we have inquired of management as to the existence of any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Management provided us with a schedule of all known off-balance sheet arrangements totaling approximately

$3,036,214,000 as of June 30, 2016. We recalculated the total figure of off-balance sheet arrangements for mathematical accuracy.

We also confirmed that the total of the all known balance sheet arrangements included in the schedule provided by management is less than the tangible net worth reported in the CFO's Letter. No exceptions were noted. We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on compliance with the regulations.

Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Corporation of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

In addition, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'AAA' and 'AAA/ A-1 +' long-term ratings on Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) existing debt, some of which was issued by the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency {formerly known as the Massachusetts Health and Educational Facilities Authority).

The outlook, where applicable, is stable. The 'AAA' rating reflects our view of MIT's extremely strong enterprise profile, characterized by incredible demand for its programs, exceptional student quality, a geographically diverse student body, and impressive management and governance oversight.

We assessed the college's financial profile as very strong, with a substantial endowment and a track record of excellent operating performance.

We also note MIT's relatively high debt burden compared to those of peers and the substantial capital plans for deferred maintenance including infrastructure and renewal. Combined, these factors lead to an indicative stand-alone credit profile of 'aa+ .' In accordance with our criteria, the final rating can be within one notch of the indicative credit level. In our opinion, the 'AAA' rating on the college's bonds better reflects MIT's exceptional cash and investments relative to its outstanding debt. The 'A-1 +'short-term rating reflects our view of MIT's general credit strengths and considerable experience in managing its own liquidity.

MIT is providing its own liquidity to support its $250 million of series J-1 (swapped to fixed rate) and J-2 variable-rate demand bonds (VRDBs). We believe MIT demonstrates sufficient liquid assets of high credit quality--largely in U.S. Treasuries--as well as a bank line that it can use, among other things, to cover the purchase price of VRDBs if any of the bonds are tendered but not successfully remarketed.

Availability of liquid assets is sufficient, in our opinion, with same-day liquidity comprising high-quality U.S. government securities and cash. In our view, MIT has demonstrated the policies and procedures necessary to provide self-liquidity.

The 'AAA' rating is further supported by the institute's:

• Status as a pre-eminent research institute with more than $1.5 billion in research revenues in fiscal 2015;

• Very large and growing endowment and similar funds of $13.69 billion as of June 30, 2015;

• Significant demand, excellent student quality, and increasingly competitive admissions; and WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT JULY 22, 2016 2 1680526 I 302491962 Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Private Coll/Univ

-General Obligation

• Robust operating performance, supported by good revenue diversity and the demonstrated ability to raise funds. Offsetting factors include our view of MIT's:

• Good financial resource ratios relative to peers, with expendable resources of $14. 7 billion in fiscal 2015, equal to 4.3x operations and 4.3x pro forma debt;

• Generally flat to declining federal grant and research funding for the overall sector;

• Relatively high, but still manageable, debt levels, with an uneven repayment structure and a slightly above-average annual debt burden of 6.3%; and

• Substantial capital and strategic plans and deferred maintenance needs, though additional debt is not expected until 2020. We expect the series E bonds will be issued as taxable, fixed-rate obligations with a 30 -100-year maturity.

As with MIT's existing debt, we expect the series E taxable bonds to be an unsecured general obligation of the institute.

Following this issuance, MIT will have a total of $3.289 billion of long-term debt outstanding, including about $177 million drawn under a $500 million bank line of credit. We understand that the institute uses this line opportunistically and periodically for various funding purposes.

MIT's debt structure includes a number of bullet maturities, which make debt service quite uneven from year to year. However, the institute's maximum annual debt service (MADS) during the next 30 years is $379.6 million, while overall MADS of $837.7 million (24.7% offiscal 2015 expenses) for the organization's total debt occurs in 2111 at the maturation of its century bonds. If we assume level debt service and a 30-year financing term is assumed, estimated average annual debt service of the institute's total debt (assuming a 30-year maturity, a 5% interest rate, and even debt service) is approximately

$214 million, which we consider to be moderately above average, at 6.3% of fiscal 2015 expenses.

Rating above the sovereign MIT's bonds are eligible to be rated above the sovereign because we believe the institution can maintain better credit characteristics than the U.S. under a stress scenario.

Under the criteria, "Ratings Above The Sovereign:

Corporate And Government Ratings--Methodology And Assumptions," U.S. colleges and universities are considered to have moderate sensitivity to country risk. MIT's revenues are the sole source of security on the bonds. The institutional framework in the U.S. is predictable, with institutions like MIT having significant autonomy, independent treasury management, and no history of government intervention.

Financial flexibility is supported by the institute's large endowment, which has a substantial market value and is invested globally, and diverse revenue sources. Outlook The stable outlook reflects our expectation that, during the two-year outlook period, MIT will maintain its excellent demand characteristics, exceptional operating performance, and robust fundraising results. The outlook also reflects our expectation that the institute's deferred maintenance will decrease over time. Downside scenario Credit factors that could lead to a lower rating within the outlook period include an unexpected deterioration in MIT's demand profile or operating performance.

We do not anticipate the institute will issue additional debt within the outlook period. WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT JULY 22, 2016 3 1680526 I 302491962 Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Private Coll/Univ

-General Obligation Enterprise Profile Industry risk Industry risk addresses the higher education sector's overall cyclicality and competitive risk and growth by applying various stress scenarios and evaluating barriers to entry, levels and trends of profitability, substitution risk, and growth trends observed in the industry.

We believe the higher education sector represents a low credit risk when compared with other industries and sectors. Economic fundamentals The institute has good geographic diversity, drawing students nationally and internationally.

Approximately 93% of students come from outside the state. As such, our assessment of MIT's economic fundamentals is anchored by the U.S. GDP per capita. Market position and demand MIT is a private, nonsectarian, co-educational, nonprofit institution of higher education.

MIT is organized into five schools: architecture and planning; engineering; humanities, arts, and social sciences; management; and science. MIT is one of the pre-eminent research institutes in the world, composed of major interdisciplinary organizations, as well as three off-campus research facilities in Massachusetts:

Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Haystack Observatory in Tyngsborough, and the Bates Linear Accelerator Center in Middleton.

MIT operates the Lincoln Laboratory as a federally funded research and development center focused on advanced electronics. In fiscal 2015, MIT's research activities were approximately

$1.5 billion in revenue, including the campus, Lincoln Laboratory, and Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology.

MIT maintains an impressive enrollment and demand profile characterized by very modest increases in recent years. According to year-to-date admissions data for fall 2015, full-time-equivalent enrollment is 11,231, up slightly from 11, 117 in fall 2014. In our view, the college is highly selective, student quality is exceptional, and the geographical draw is diverse with 92.5% of students coming from out of state. There are no current plans to add new schools or significantly change the academic mission or structure of the institute.

MIT is actively engaged with international partners but has no plans to increase its physical footprint globally The college has significant admissions flexibility, admitting just 8.3% of its 18,306 freshman applicants in fall 2015. Its matriculation rate continues to improve and was a high 73% in fall 2015. Student quality is excellent, with an average freshman SAT score of 1510 (excluding the writing test) and an ACT score of 34.0, both of which are well above the national averages of 1010 and 20.9, respectively.

The freshman-to-sophomore retention rate is outstanding, in our view, at 98%. The six-year graduation rate is also excellent, at 92%. Total tuition, room, and board charges for the 2015-2016 academic year was $60,434, or a 3.8% increase from the prior academic year, which we view as competitive with those of peer institutions.

Total charges are projected to increase by 3.8% for the 2016-2017 academic year. We consider the tuition discount rate high, at about 45.8%, but it has remained fairly stable over the past five academic years. In our view, MIT has an exceptional fundraising history in terms of successful campaigns and annual giving. The WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT JULY 22, 2016 4 1680526 J 302491962 Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Private Coll/Univ

-General Obligation institute's most recent campaign, "Campaign for a Better World," announced in May 2016, has raised over half of its $5.0 billion goal. The campaign is raising funds for education, research, and innovation.

Management and governance MIT's senior management team is very stable, and has been led by President L. Rafael Reif since 2012. The MIT Corp., a 78-member board composed of national leaders in science, engineering, industry, education, and public service governs the institute.

The institute also maintains an executive committee, which is a subset of the corporation and has responsibility for the general administration of the institute.

The committee meets frequently and oversees MIT's strategic and capital plans. Management prepares interim, full-accrual results on a quarterly basis, which the corporation's Risk and Audit Committee reviews regularly throughout the year. We view the preparation and review of interim financial statements as a best practice for the industry.

Recent changes to the senior management team include the dean for graduate education (Blanche Staton), vice president and dean for student life (Suzy Nelson), vice president for open learning (Sanjay Sarma), senior vice president and secretary of the corporation (R. Gregory Morgan), and vice president for resource development (Julie Lucas). MIT maintains strategic theses that drive capital and fundraising priorities.

The institute's strategic priorities are assessed and updated regularly and contain measurable deliverables that are overseen by the executive committee.

The executive committee also approves and monitors the budget in the context of a multiyear strategic financial plan. One of MIT's strengths, in our opinion, is its financial management, with a demonstrated ability to fundraise and to provide effective oversight and management of its budget, which has led to consistent operating surpluses.

In our view, the management team manages the institute's financial profile prudently and efficiently to maximize operating outcomes.

Financial Profile Financial management policies MIT has extensive financial policies, including formal policies for endowment, investments, and debt, which we view favorably.

We consider the institute's budgeting to be conservative and note that financial performance metrics are evaluated based on budgets submitted by each of the institute's academic and administrative departments.

Interim financial statements are generated on a full-accrual basis, which we consider a best practice.

The institute meets standard annual disclosure requirements.

The financial policies assessment is neutral, reflecting our opinion that the organization's financial policies are not likely to negatively affect its future ability to pay debt service. Our analysis of financial policies includes a review of the organization's financial reporting and disclosure, investment allocation and liquidity, debt profile, contingent liabilities, and legal structure, and a comparison of these policies with those of comparable organizations.

Financial performance MIT's financial performance is consistently positive on a full-accrual basis, which we consider a credit strength and believe is a function of high demand, financial controls, and the payout of its endowment.

MIT generated an operating surplus in fiscal 2015, and we expect another surplus in fiscal 2016, though likely somewhat less than fiscal 2015 levels. WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT JULY 22, 2016 5 16sos26 I 302491962 Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Private Coll/Univ

-General Obligation For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the operating surplus was $179.6 million, a 5.3% margin relative to operating expenses.

This is lower than the $205.8 million (6.5% margin) produced in fiscal 2014. The operating revenue base in fiscal 2015 was $3.5 billion. We view the institute's revenue as diverse, and in fiscal 2015, they included 15% from student tuition and fee revenues, 29% from research, 30% from investment support, 15% from gifts, and 12% from fees and services.

In fiscal 2015, the spending rate on endowed funds was 4.5%. Available resources MIT's available resources are consistent with 'AAA' rating category medians. Fiscal 2015 expendable resources of $14.7 billion equaled 4.3x adjusted operating expenses and 4.3x proforma debt. Total cash and investments of $17.85 billion as offiscal 2015 equaled 5.26x adjusted operating expenses and 5.22x proforma debt. We expect these ratios will continue to improve given the institute's healthy operating margins, and we expect any increase in debt to be commensurate with an increase in resources such that financial resource measures remain consistent with the 'AAA' category.

MIT Investment Management Co. (MITIMCo) manages the institute's investment assets under the supervision of a separate MITIMCo board. MIT's endowment assets totaled $13.69 billion as of June 30, 2015, an 8.7% increase over the previous year. The investments in pool A produced a 13.2% return for fiscal 2015. Of $17.5 billion of total long-term investments as of June 30, 2015, $3.6 billion, or 20.8%, were considered level 1, or active market securities, which we consider to be the most liquid. Management reports that MIT's asset allocation has been stable and is tracking close to the policy. As of June 30, 2016, MIT held same-day liquid investments of about $950 million. MIT uses a Tobin rule endowment distribution policy based 80% on the previous year's spending and 20% on the endowment's market value. Endowment spending for operations in fiscal 2015 was $545.9 million, or approximately 4.0% of the endowment's year-end value. The annual endowment draw equaled approximately 18.8% of the institute's adjusted operating revenues for fiscal 2015, which is less than those of some of its peers. MIT holds investments in two primary asset pools: pool A, composed of its long-term endowment investments, and pool C, composed of short-term, high-quality investments for working capital and for holding various reserves.

As of June 30, 2015, MIT had total unfunded capital calls of approximately

$2.0 billion. The unfunded commitment amount represents a moderate 14.6% of market value of endowment, which is lower than those of some of MIT's peers. Debt and contingent liabilities Total proforma debt for the institute is approximately

$3.289 billion, including about $177 million drawn under a $500 million bank line of credit. We understand that the institute uses this line opportunistically and periodically for various funding purposes.

MIT remains conservative in its use of variable-rate debt exposure, net of swaps, compared with its peers. Of the total debt, a small portion is variable-rate debt {10% or $343 million), with the remainder fixed rate. All debt is an unsecured general obligation of MIT. In our opinion, MIT has sufficient liquidity to fund its VRDBs. S&P Global Ratings believes the institute's swap portfolio poses very low risk to the credit rating overall, with a low degree of involuntary termination risk due to limited termination events other than those permissible, moderate counterparty risk, and the swap portfolio's sound economic viability during stressful economic cycles. MIT has one interest rate swap with US Bank. The agreement is a $125 million floating-to-fixed rate swap that synthetically fixes the WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT JULY 22, 2016 6 1680526 I 302491962 Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Private Coll/Univ

-General Obligation series J-1 bonds at 4.91%, with MIT receiving a rate equal to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Assn. (SIFMA} index less 15 basis points; the agreement terminates on maturity in 2031. As of June 30, 2016, this swap had a notional amount and fair value of $125 million and negative $63.4 million, respectively.

MIT has a defined-benefit and defined-contribution retirement plan for employees.

Its defined-benefit plan is well funded, with a $7.5 million contribution in 2015. MIT had $53.2 million in accrued defined-benefit liabilities net of assets and $45,000 in accrued postemployment benefit obligations net of assets as of June 30, 2015, which we view as a manageable level of exposure.

Support from in v estments increased

$60.1 million, or 8. 9 percent, primarily due to an increase in the endowment distribution.

The effective spend-ing rate on endowed funds was 4.4 percent, or 5.1 percent on a three-yea r-average basis, in fisca l 2016. G i fts and bequests for current use decreased

$59.6 million, or 26.9 percent, due to a few exceptionally l arge gifts received in fiscal 2015.

9 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements A. Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. The consolidated financial ments (financial statements) include MIT and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Net assets, revenues, expenses, and gains and losses are classified into three categories based on the existence or absence of imposed restrictions.

The categories are permanently restricted, temporarily restricted, and unrestricted net assets. Unconditional promises to give (pledges) are recorded as receivables and revenues within the appropriate net asset category.

Permanently restricted net assets include gifts, pledges, trusts and remainder interests, and income and gains that are required by donors to be permanently retained.

Pledges, trusts, and remainder interests are reported at their estimated fair values. Temporarily restricted net assets include gifts, pledges, trusts and remainder interests, and income and gains that can be expended but for which restrictions have not yet been met. Such tions include purpose restrictions where donors have specified the purpose for which the net assets are to be spent, or time restrictions imposed by donors or implied by the nature of the gift (capital projects, pledges to be paid in the future, life income funds), or by interpretations oflaw (net gains on permanently restricted gifts that have not been appropriated for spending).

Gifts specified for the acquisition or construction oflong-lived assets are reported as temporarily restricted net assets until the monies are expended and the buildings are put into use, at which point they are reclassified to unrestricted net assets. Net ized losses on permanently restricted endowment funds for which the book value exceeds market value are recorded as a reduction to unrestricted net assets. Unrestricted net assets are all the remaining net assets of MIT. Donor-restricted gifts and unexpended restricted endowment income that are received and either spent, or the restriction is otherwise met within the same year, are reported as unrestricted revenue. Gifts of long-lived assets are reported as unrestricted revenue. Net asset reclassifications and transfers consist primarily of payments on unrestricted pledges and use of building funds in accordance with donor restrictions for buildings put into use during the year. Expirations of temporary restrictions on net assets, release of permanent restrictions by a donor, and change of restrictions imposed by donors are also reported as sifications of net assets among unrestricted, temporarily, and permanently restricted net assets. MIT administers its various funds, including endowments, funds functioning as endowments, school or departmental funds, and 10 related accumulated gains in accordance with the principles of "Fund Accounting." Gifts are recorded in fund accounts and investment income is distributed to funds annually.

Income distributed to funds may be a combination of capital tion and yield pursuant to MIT's total return investment and spending policies.

Each year, the Executive Committee of the Corporation approves the rates of distribution of investment return to the funds from MIT's investment pools. (See Note J for further information on income distributed to funds.) MIT's operations include tuition, research revenues, unrestricted gifts and bequests for current use, fees and services, other grams, endowment distribution and income from other ments, auxiliary revenues, net asset reclassifications and transfers, and operating expenditures.

Results of operations are displayed in the Consolidated Statement of Activities.

Tax Status MIT is a nonprofit organization that is tax-exempt under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, originally recognized in October 1926, with the most recent affirmation letter dated July 2001. US GAAP requires MIT to evaluate tax positions taken by the Institute and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Institute has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. MIT has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as ofJune 30, 2016, there are no significant uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.

Cash Certain cash balances, totaling $122.3 million and $116.4 lion at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are restricted for use under certain sponsored research agreements or are held on behalf of a related party. The Institute had approximately

$432.1 million and $316.1 lion at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of its cash accounts with a single institution.

The Institute has not experienced any losses associated with deposits at this institution.

Advance Payments Amounts received by MIT from the US Government, tions, industrial sources, foundations, and other non-MIT sponsors under the terms of agreements that generally require the exchange of assets, rights, or privileges between MIT and the sponsor are recorded as advance payments.

Revenue is recognized as MIT fulfills the terms of the agreements.

MIT REPORT OF THE TREASURER 2016 A. Accounting Policies (continued}

Land, Buildings, and Equipment Land, buildings, and equipment are shown at cost when chased or at fair value as of the date of a gift when received as gifts, net of accumulated depreciation.

When expended, costs associated with the construction of new facilities are shown as construction in progress until such projects are completed and put into use. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 25 to 50 years for buildings, 3 to 25 years for equipment, and 4 to 6 years for software.

Fully depreciated assets were removed from the financial ments in the amount of $39.4 million and $34.3 million during 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Land, buildings, and equipment at June 30, 2016 and 2015 are shown in Table 1 below. Table 1. Land, Buildings, and Equipment (in thousands of dollars) Land ................. . Land improvements

Net interest expense of$9.5 million and $6.6 million was capitalized during 2016 and 2015, respectively, in connection with MIT's construction projects.

Tuition and Student Support . Tuition and similar revenues, shown in Table 2 below, include tuition and fees in degree programs as well as tuition and fees for executive and continuing education programs at MIT. Table 2.

The capital costs of buildings and equipment are depreciated over their estimated life cycle, and the sponsored research recovery allowance for depreciation is treated as indirect research revenue. MIT has recorded reimbursement of indirect costs relating to sponsored research at negotiated fixed billing rates. The revenue generated by the negotiated rates is justed each fiscal year to reflect any variance between the ated fixed rates and rates based on actual cost. The actual cost rate is audited by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and a final fixed-rate agreement is signed by the US Government and MIT. The variance between the negotiated fixed rate and the final audited rate results in a carryforward (over-or under-recovery).

The carryforward is included in the calculation of negotiated fixed billing rates in future years. Any adjustment in the rate is charged or credited to unrestricted net assets. Gifts and Pledges Gifts and pledges are recognized when received.

Gifts of securi-ties are recorded at their fair value at the date of contribution.

Donated securities received totaled $37.9 million and $47.2 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, and are shown separately in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Gifts of equipment received from manufacturers and other donors are put into use and recorded by MIT at fair value. Gifts of equipment totaled $0.4 million in 2016 and $0.3 mlllion in 2015. Pledges in the amount of $609. l million and $0 558.1 million were recorded as receivables at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, with the revenue assigned to the appropriate classification of restriction.

Pledges consist of unconditional written promises to contribute to MIT in the future and are recorded after discounting the future cash flows to the present value. 12 MIT records items of collections as gifts at nominal value. They are received for educational purposes and most are displayed throughout MIT. In general, collections are not disposed of for financial gain or otherwise encumbered in any manner. Life Income Funds MIT's life income fund agreements with donors consist primarily of irrevocable charitable gift annuities, pooled income funds, and charitable remainder trusts for w!i-ich MIT serves as trustee. Assets are invested and payments are made to donors and other ciaries in accordance with the respective agreements.

MIT records the assets that are associated with each life income fund at fair value and records as liabilities the present value of the estimated future payments at current interest rates to be made to the donors and beneficiaries under these agreements.

A rollforward of liabilities due under life income fund agreements is presented in Table 5 below. Table 5. Liabilities Due Under Life Income Funds (in thousands of dollars) 2016 2015 Balance at the beginning of the year $ 141,946 $ 103,076 Addition for new gifts ..........

These totals included accrued vacation of $81.6 lion at June 30, 2016 and $62.5 million at June 30, 2015. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards On July l, 2015, MIT early adopted new guidance related to Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This guidance requires MIT to present unamortized debt issuance costs as an offset to borrowings within the liabilities section of the balance sheet, rather than as other assets within the assets section of the balance sheet, and must be applied retrospectively.

As a result, $17.7 million has been reclassified from the Deferred charges, inventories, and other assets line to the Borrowings line in the 2015 comparative results column for MIT's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The change in presentation has also been appropriately reflected in the Borrowings table shown in Footnote F. MIT REPORT OF THE TREASURER 2016 A. Accounting Policies (continued)

On July 1, 2014, MIT early adopted new guidance about Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent).

This guidance requires MIT to show investments that use net asset value (NAY) as a practical expedient for valuation purposes separately from other investments categorized in the fair value hierarchy described in Footnote B. This disclosure change can be seen in the investment leveling tables shown in Footnotes B and I for both fiscal years 2016 and 2015. Noncontrolling Interests MIT is the general partner for several private equity funds and has displayed the noncontrolling interests on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Non-Cash Items Non-cash transactions excluded from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include $7.6 million and $13.3 million of accrued liabilities related to plant and equipment purchases for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent sets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B. Investments Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses are recorded by MIT using the average cost basis. For limited partnerships, the realized gain/loss is calculated once the entire cost basis is distributed back to MIT or using information provided by managers with respect to the character of a distribution as being a gain or return of capital. MIT values its investments in accordance with the principles of accounting standards which establish a hierarchy of valuation inputs based on the extent to which the inputs are observable in the marketplace.

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity's own assumptions about how market participants would value an asset or liability based on the best information available.

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. MIT follows a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is unobservable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Reclassifications Certain June 30, 2015 balances and amounts previously ported have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2016 presentation.

Subsequent Events In July 2016, MIT issued $500.0 million of taxable bonds, Series E, with a fixed interest rate of 3.885 percent and a maturity date ofJuly 1, 2116. The new taxable debt will be used to further vance MIT's ongoing campus renewal and development program, including academic and research capital projects within the MIT 2030 framework.

MIT has evaluated subsequent events through September 9, 2016, the date on which the financial statements were issued. There were no subsequent events other than the above debt issuance that occurred after the balance sheet date that have a material impact on MIT's financial statements.

Summarized Information The Consolidated Statements of Activities includes certain prior year summarized comparative information in total but not by net asset class. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with MIT's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2015, from which the summarized information was derived. The following describes the hierarchy of inputs used to measure fair value and the primary valuation methodologies used by MIT for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The three levels of inputs are as follows:

• Level 1 -Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Market price data is generally obtained from relevant exchanges or dealer markets.

• Level 2 -Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the same term of the assets or liabilities.

Inputs are obtained from various sources including market participants, dealers, and brokers.

• Level 3 -Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

13 B. Investments (continued)

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Market information is considered when determining the proper categorization of the investment's fair value measurement within the fair valuation hierarchy.

Table 6 presents MIT's investments at fair value as of]une 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, grouped by the valuation hierarchy as defined earlier in this note. Investments that use NAV as a practical expedient for valuation purposes are shown separately.

Transfers between levels are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The 2016 transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 totaled $60.0 million and transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 totaled $10.4 million. The 2015 transfers from Level 1 to Level 3 totaled $0.1 million, and transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 totaled $9 .6 million. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, money market funds, repurchase agreements, and negotiable certificates of deposit and are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Instruments listed or traded on a securities exchange are valued at the last quoted price on the primary exchange where the securities are traded. Investments in non-exchange-traded debt are primarily valued using independent pricing sources that use broker quotes or models using observable market inputs. Investments managed by external managers include investments in (i) absolute return; (ii) domestic, foreign, and private equity; (iii) real estate; and (iv) real asset commingled funds. The fair value of securities held in external investment funds that do not have readily determinable fair values are determined by the external managers based upon industry-standard valuation approaches that require varying degrees of judgment, taking into consideration, among other things, the cost of the securities, valuations and transactions of comparable public companies, the securities' estimated future cash flow streams, and the prices of recent significant placements of securities of the same issuer. Using these valuations, most of these external managers calculate MIT's capital account or NAV in accordance with, or in a manner consistent with, GAAP's fair value principles.

14 As a practical expedient, MIT is permitted under GAAP to estimate the fair value of its investments with external managers using the external managers' reported NAV without further adjustment unless MIT expects to sell the investment at a value other than NAV or the NAV is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Level 3 investments are valued by MIT based upon valuation information received from the relevant entity, which may include last trade information, third-party appraisals of real estate, or valuations prepared in connection with the administration of an employee stock ownership plan. MIT may also utilize industry standard valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of MIT's direct investments may include their cost of capital, and equity and industry risk premiums.

Significant increases or decreases in these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively.

Split-interest agreements are generally valued at the present value of the future distributions expected to be received over the term of the agreement.

Over-the-counter positions, such as interest rate and total return swaps, credit default swaps, options, exchange agreements, and interest rate cap and floor agreements, are valued using broker quotes or models using market observable inputs. Because the swaps and other over-the-counter derivative instruments have inputs that can usually be corroborated by observable market data, they are generally classified within Level 2. MIT finances certain real estate investments to optimize the use of invested capital in support of the Institute's mission. These financings are shown as a separate line item called Liabilities associated with investments in the consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

In prior years, they were netted into the line for Investments, at fair value. Amounts for all previous years shown throughout the full Report of the Treasurer have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Certain investments in real estate, equities, and private investments may be subject to restrictions that (i) limit MIT's ability to withdraw capital after such investment; and (ii) may limit the amount that may be withdrawn as of a given redemption date. Most absolute return, domestic equity, and foreign equity commingled funds limit withdrawals to monthly, quarterly, or other periods, and may require notice periods. In addition, certain of these funds are able to designate a portion of the investments as illiquid in "side-pockets," and these funds may not be available for withdrawal until liquidated by the investing fund. Generally, MIT has no discretion as to withdrawal with Table 9.

MIT performs ongoing due diligence to determine that investment fair value is reasonable as of]une 30, 2016 and 2015. In particular, to ensure that the valuation techniques for investments that are categorized within the fair value hierarchy are fair, consistent, and verifiable, MIT has established a Valuation Committee (the "Committee")

that oversees the valuation processes and procedures and ensures that the policies are fair and consistently applied. The Committee is responsible for conducting annual reviews of the valuation policies, evaluating the overall fairness and consistent application of the valuation policies, and performing specific reviews of certain valuations reported.

The Committee performs due diligence over the external managers and, based on this review, substantiates NAV as a practical expedient for estimates of fair value of its investments in external managers.

The Committee is composed of senior personnel and contains members who are independent of investment functions.

The Committee meets annually, or more frequently, as needed. Members of the Valuation Committee report annually to MIT's Risk and Audit Committee.

The methods described previously in this footnote may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While MIT believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. C. Derivative Financial Instruments and Collateral MIT maintains an interest rate swap agreement to manage the interest cost and risk associated with a portion of its variable rate debt, described in Note F. Under the agreement, MIT pays a fixed rate of 4.91 percent and receives a payment indexed to the Securities Industry and Financial Market (SIFMA) on a notional amount of $125.0 million. At June 30, 2016, the swap agreement had a total fair value of ($63.4) million and at June 30, 2015 had a fair value of ($48.1) million. This swap had a total net loss for 2016 of $15.3 million and a total net loss of $6.8 million for 2015. The notional amount of this derivative is not recorded on MIT's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

For its investment management, MIT uses a variety of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk involving contractual or optional commitments for future settlement.

MIT uses these instruments primarily to manage its exposure to extreme market events and fluctuations in asset classes or currencies.

Instruments utilized include futures, total return and credit default swaps, and interest rate cap and swaption agreements.

The futures are exchange-traded and the swap, swaptions, and cap agreements are executed over the counter. Total return swaps involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, MIT will respectively receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

MIT's portfolio of interest rate caps and swaptions is designed for protection from significant increases in interest rates. An interest rate swaption is an option to enter into an interest rate swap agreement on pre-set terms at a future date. The purchaser and seller of the swaption agree on the expiration date, option type, exercise style, the terms of the underlying swap, and the type of settlement.

As the expiration date approaches, the swaption 18 holder can either notify the seller of its intention to exercise or let the option expire. An interest rate cap places a ceiling on a floating rate of interest on a specified notional principal amount for a specific term. The buyer of the cap uses the cap contract to limit its maximum interest rate exposure.

If the floating rate rises above the cap strike, the cap contract provides for payments from the seller to the buyer of the cap for the difference between the floating rate and the cap strike. If the floating rate remains below the cap strike, no payments are required.

The cap buyer is required to pay an upfront fee or premium for the cap. The cap premium charged by the seller depends upon the market's assessment of the probability that rates will move through the cap strike over the time horizon of the deal. The payoff is expected to occur in extreme market conditions that would negatively impact MIT's other assets. Table 10 summarizes the notional exposure and net ending fair value relative to the financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk as of]une 30, 2016 and 2015, related to MIT's investment management.

Derivatives held by limited partnerships and commingled investment vehicles pose no off-balance sheet risk to MIT due to the limited liability structure of these investments.

To manage the counterparty credit exposure of MIT's direct off-balance sheet financial instruments, MIT requires collateral to the maximum extent possible under normal trading practices.

Collateral is moved on a daily basis as required by fluctuations in the market. The collateral is generally in the form of debt obligations issued by the US Treasury or cash. In the event of counterparty default, MIT has the right to use the collateral to offset the loss associated with the replacement of the agreements.

MIT enters into arrangements only with counterparties believed to be creditworthy.

On June 30, 2016, cash collateral and certain securities owned by MIT were held at counterparty brokers to collateralize these positions and are included in investments on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Table 11 below provides further details related to MIT's credit instruments and summarizes the notional amounts and fair value of the purchased and written credit derivatives, classified by the expiration terms and the external credit ratings of the reference obligations at June 30, 2016 and 2015. The act of entering into a credit default swap contract is often referred to as "buying protection" or "selling protection

on an underlying reference obligation.

The buyer is obligated to make premium payments to the seller over the term of the contract in return for a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event with respect to the underlying obligation.

The seller bears the obligation to "protect" the buyer in the event of default of Table 11. Credit Derivative Instruments Purchased Protection I the underlying issuer. Upon this event, the cash payment which the buyer receives is equal to the clearing price established by an auction of credit default swap claims, which is designed to approximate the recovery value of an unsecured claim on the issuer in default. The swap will last for a predetermined amount of time, typically five years. Upon termination of the swap, the buyer is no longer obligated to make any premium payments and there is no other exchange of capital.

• C. Derivative Financial Instruments and Collateral (continued)

Counterparty risk may be partially or completely mitigated through master netting agreements included within an International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") Master Agreement between MIT and each of its counterparties.

The ISDA Master Agreement allows MIT to offset with the counterparty certain derivative instruments' payables and/ or receivables with collateral held with each counterparty.

To the extent amounts due from the counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, there is the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

As ofJune 30, 2016, MIT has elected not to offset recognized assets and liabilities in the Statements of Financial Position Investments Table. The following tables, 12 and 13, summarize the effect that offsetting of recognized assets and liabilities could have in the Statements of Financial Position Investments Table. Table 12.

$ {522812) Maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on the-counter derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized appreciation in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty.

ISDA Master Agreements allow MIT or the counterparties to an over-the-counter derivative to terminate the contract prior to maturity in the event either party fails to meet the terms in the ISDA Master Agreements.

This would cause an accelerated payment of net liability, if owed to the counterparty.

Student notes receivable, net .................................................. . $ 42,137 $ 45,678 ======== Perkins student notes receivable are funded by the US Government and by MIT. Those funds advanced by the US Government for this program are ultimately refundable to the US Government and are classified as liabilities in US Government advances for student loans in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Due to the nature and terms of the student loans, which are subject to significant restrictions, it is not feasible to determine the fair value of such loans. Allowance for Credit Losses Management regularly assesses the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses by performing ongoing evaluations of the student loan portfolio, including such factors as the differing economic risks associated with each loan category, the financial condition of specific borrowers, the economic environment in which the borrowers operate, the level of delinquent loans, the value of any collateral, and, where applicable, the existence of any guarantees or indemnifications.

MIT's Perkins loans receivable represents the amounts due from current and former students under the Federal Perkins Loan Program. Loans disbursed under the Federal Perkins Loan Program are able to be assigned to the US Government in certain non-repayment situations.

In these situations, the Federal portion of the loan balance is guaranteed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Factors also considered by management when performing its assessment, in addition to general economic conditions and the other factors described above, included, but were not limited to, a detailed review of the aging of the student loan receivable and a review of the default rate by loan category in comparison to prior years. The level of the allowance is adjusted based on the results of management's analysis.

Loans less than 120 days delinquent are deemed to have a minimal delay in payment and are generally not written off but are reserved in accordance with the terms discussed above. Loans more than 120 days delinquent are subject to standard collection practices, including litigation.

Only loans that are deemed uncollectible are written off and this only occurs after several years of unsuccessful collection, including placement at more than one external collection agency. Considering the other factors already discussed herein, management considers the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2016 and 2015 to be prudent and reasonable.

Furthermore, MIT's allowance is general in nature and is available to absorb losses from any loan category.

Management maintains an allowance of $3.0 million for credit losses and is confident that this is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in the portfolio as of that date. 23 F.

• The proceeds of Taxable Bonds, Series Band C were in the process of being invested in physical assets in 2015 and 2016, with unused bakmces held as investments.

Fair value of the outstanding debt is approximately 24 and 9 percent greater than the carrying value in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

It is classified as Level 3 under the valuation hierarchy described in Note B. Fair value is based on estimates using current interest rates available for similarly rated debt of the same remaining maturities for tax-exempt debt and rates for recent trades for taxable debt. 24 MIT REPORT OF THE TREASURER 2016 F.

As of June 30, 2016, $323.5 million was available under this line of credit (see Notes payable on Table 17). The line of credit expires on March 31, 2017. Cash paid for interest on long-term debt in 2016 and 2015 was $131.0 million and $128.9 million, respectively.

G. Commitments and Contingencies Federal Government Funding MIT receives funding or reimbursement from Federal agencies for sponsored research under Government grants and contracts.

These grants and contracts provide for reimbursement of indirect costs based on rates negotiated with the Office of Naval Research (ONR), MIT's cognizant Federal agency. MIT's indirect cost reimbursements have been based on fixed rates with carryforward of under-or over-recoveries.

At June 30, 2016 and 2015, MIT recorded a net over-recovery of $24.7 million and $19.5 million, respectively.

The DCM is responsible for auditing indirect charges to grants and contracts in support of ONR's negotiating responsibility.

MIT has final audited rates through 2009. MIT's 2016 research revenues of $1,690.2 million include reimbursement of indirect costs of $235.3 million, which includes the adjustment for the variance between the indirect cost income determined by the fixed rates and actual costs for 2016. In 2015, research revenues were $1,576.6 million, which included reimbursement of rect costs of$217.9 million. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Variable interest rates at June 30, 2016 are shown in Table 19 below. Table 19.

However, if the remarketing proceeds are insufficient, MIT will be obligated to purchase the bonds tendered at 100 percent of par on the tender date. Leases At June 30, 2016, there were no capital lease obligations.

MIT is committed under certain operating (rental) leases. Rent expense incurred under operating lease obligations was $40.0 million and $41.3 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Future minimum payments under operating leases are shown in Table 20 below. Table 20.

25 G. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

Future Construction MIT has contracted for educational plant in the amount of $389.3 million at June 30, 2016. It is expected that the resources to satisfy these commitments will be provided from unexpended plant funds, anticipated gifts, bond proceeds, and unrestricted funds. MIT will be committing additional resources to planned major construction projects and improvements to the current infrastructure over the next several years. Related Entities MIT has entered into agreements, including collaborations with third-party not-for-profit and for-profit entities, for education, research, and technology transfers.

Some of these agreements H. Functional Expense Classification involve funding from foreign governments.

These agreements subject MIT to greater financial risk than do its normal tions. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of tion of increased financial risks by MIT under these agreements is remote. General MIT is subject to certain other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of operations.

In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material effect on MIT's financial position.

$ 3,111,119 I. Retirement Benefits MIT offers a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan to its employees.

The plans cover substantially all MIT employees.

MIT also offers a postretirement welfare benefit plan (certain healthcare and life insurance benefits) for retired employees.

Substantially all MIT employees may become eligible for those benefits if they reach a qualifying retirement age while working for_MIT. The healthcare coJilponent of the welfare plan is paid for in part by retirees, their covered dependents, and beneficiaries.

Benefits are provided through various insurance companies whose charges are based either on the claims and administrative expenses paid during the year or annual insured premiums.

The life insurance component of the welfare plan includes basic life insurance and supplemental life insurance.

The basic life insurance plan is non-contributory and covers the retiree only. The supplemental life insurance plan is paid for by the retiree. MIT maintains a trust to pay for postretirement welfare benefits.

MIT contributes to the defined benefit plan amounts that are actuarially determined to provide the retirement plan with 26 sufficient assets to meet future benefit requirements.

There were designated contributions of $83.0 million and $7.5 million to the defined benefit plan in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

MIT also designated contributions of $18.9 million and $28.7 million to the postretirement welfare benefit plan in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The employer contributions to the Retiree Welfare Benefit Plan (RWBP) decreased in 2016 mainly due to an . increase in prescription drug rebates from drug manufacturers and more medical claims being directly paid by RWBP. For the defined contribution plan, the amount contributed and expenses recognized during 2016 and 2015 were $55.2 million and $51.5 million, respectively.

For purposes of calculating net periodic cost, plan amendments for the defined benefit plan are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average future service of active participants at the date of the amendment.

Plan amendments to the postretirement welfare benefit plan are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average future service to full eligibility of active participants at the date of amendment.

MIT REPORT OF THE TREASURER 2016 I. Retirement Benefits (continued)

Cumulative gains and losses (including changes in assumptions) in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of assets for both the defined benefit plan and the postretirement welfare benefit plan are amortized over the average future service of active participants.

The annual amortization shall not be less than the total amount of unrecognized gains and losses up to $1.0 million.

The accumulated benefit obligation for MIT's defined benefit plan was $3,608.5 million and $3,075.9 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

MIT provides retiree drug coverage through an Employer Group Waiver Plan (EGWP). Under EGWP, the cost of drug coverage is offset through direct federal subsidies, brand-name drug discounts, and reinsurance reimbursements.

Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) ..................... . Year the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate ........ . Assumptions and Healthcare Trend Rates Table 25 below summarizes assumptions and healthcare trend rates. The expected long-term rate of return assumption represents the expected average rate of earnings on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the benefit obligation.

The long-term rate of return assumption is determined based on a number of factors, including hisrorical market index returns, the anticipated long-term asset allocation of the plans, historical plan return data, plan expenses, and the potential to outperform market index returns. Defined Benefit Plan 2016 2015 I I 4.06% 4.62% 4.00% 4.00% 4.62% 4.50% 8.00% 8.00% 4.00% 4.00% Postretirement Welfare Benefit Plan 2016 4.03% 4.54% 7.00% 6.00% 4.75% 2021 2015 4.54% 4.43% 7.00% 6.50% 4.75% 2021 *The average rate of salary increase is assumed to be 4.00% for 2017 and thereafter.

As an indicator of sensitivity, a one percentage point change in the assumed healthcare cost trend rate would affect 2016 as shown in Table 26 below. Table 26.

...... . 85,651 Plan Investments The investment objectives for the assets of the plans are to minimize expected funding contributions and to meet or exceed the rate of return assumed for plan funding purposes over the long term. The nature and duration of benefit obligations, along with assumptions concerning asset class returns and return correlations, are considered when determining an appropriate asset allocation to achieve the investment objectives.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Investment policies and strategies governing the assets of the plans are designed to achieve investment objectives within prudent risk parameters.

Risk management practices include the use of external investment managers, the maintenance of a portfolio diversified by asset class, investment approach, security holdings, and the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet benefit obligations as they come due. 29 I. Retirement Benefits (continued)

Tables 27 A and 27B present investments at fair value of MIT's defined benefit plan and postretirement welfare benefit plan, which are included in plan net assets as ofJune 30, 2016 and 2015, grouped by the valuation hierarchy detailed in Note B. The investment values in these tables exclude certain items included in the assets shown in Table 24. The 2016 transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 totaled $21.8 million and $3.5 million for the defined benefit plan and postretirement benefit plan, respectively.

The 2016 transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 totaled $2.4 million and $0.3 million for the defined benefit plan and the postretirement benefit plan, respectively.

There were no transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements in 2015. Table 27 A.

Counterparty risk may be partially or completely mitigated through master netting agreements included within an International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") Master Agreement between the Plan and each of its counterparties.

The ISDA Master Agreement allows the Plan to offset with the counterparty certain derivative instruments' payables and/or receivables with collateral held with each counterparty.

To the extent amounts due from the counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, there is the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

As ofJune 30, 2016, the defined benefit plan has elected not to offset recognized assets and liabilities.

The following tables, 32 and 33, summarize the effect that offsetting of recognized assets and liabilities could have on the investments held by the defined benefit plan. Table 32.

ISDA Master Agreements allow the Plan or the counterparties to an over-the-counter derivative to terminate the contract prior to maturity in the event either party fails to meet the terms in the ISDA Master Agreements.

This would cause an accelerated payment of net liability, if owed to the counterparty.

MIT's endowment consists of approximately 3,800 individual funds established for a variety of purposes and includes both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the Executive Committee of the MIT Corporation (Executive mittee) to function as endowment, as shown in Table 36 below. As required by GAAP, net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Executive Committee to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.

The Executive Committee has interpreted the enacted version of Uniform Prudent Management tional Funds Act (UPMIFA) as allowing MIT to appropriate for expenditure or accumulate so much of an endowment fund as MIT determines is prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes, and duration for which the endowment fund is established, subject to the intent of the donor as expressed in the gift instrument.

Unless stated otherwise in the gift instrument, the assets in an endowment fund shall be donor-restricted assets until ated for expenditure by the Executive Committee.

As a result of this interpretation, MIT has not changed the way permanently restricted net assets are classified. (See Note A for further mation on net asset classification.)

The remaining portion of the donor-restricted endowment fund that is not classified in nently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by UPMIFA. In accordance with UPMIFA, the Executive mittee considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate endowment funds: i. the duration and preservation of the fund ii. the purposes of MIT and the endowment fund iii. general economic conditions iv. the possible effects of inflation and deflation

v. the expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments vi. other resources of MIT vii. the investment policies of MIT Table 36.

When underwater endowment funds exist, they are classified as a tion of unrestricted net assets. Total underwater endowment funds reported in unrestricted net assets were $0.4 million as ofJune 30, 2016. There were no underwater endowment funds reported in unrestricted net assets as ofJune 30, 2015. 38 lyfIT REPORT OF THE TREASURER 2016 J. Components of Net Assets and Endowment (continued)

Endowment Investment and Spending Policies MIT's investment policy is based on the primary goal of mizing return relative to appropriate risk such that performance exceeds appropriate benchmark returns at the total pool, asset class, and individual manager levels. To achieve its long-term rate-of-return objectives, MIT relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are realized through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized gains) and current yield (interest and dividends).

MIT targets a diversified asset tion that places greater emphasis on equity-based investments to achieve its long-term objectives within prudent risk constraints.

The Institute's primary investment pool, Pool A, is principally for endowment and funds functioning as endowment.

Pool A operates as a mutual fund with units purchased and redeemed based on the previous month's unit market value. The total market value of Pool A was $14,448.3 million at June 30, 2016 and $14,921.5 million at June 30, 2015. Pool A included endowed operating and life income funds totaling $1,479.2 40 million at June 30, 2016 and $1,652.2 million at June 30, 2015. Certain endowed assets are also maintained in separately invested funds. These separately invested funds totaled $214.5 million and $176.3 million at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

MIT has adopted spending policies designed to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its investments while maintaining the purchasing power of assets. For pooled investments, the Executive Committee of the poration votes to distribute funds for operational support from general investments.

In accordance with MIT's spending policy, these distributions are funded from both investment income and market appreciation.

The distribution rates were $69.29 and $65.33 per Pool A unit as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, tively. For separately invested endowment funds, only the annual investment income generated is distributed for spending.

MIT REPORT OF THE TREA:SURER 2016

_. pwc Report of the Independent Auditors To the Risk and Audit Committee of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as listed in the accompanying table of contents, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (the "Institute"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statement of activities for the year ended June 30, 2016, and statements of cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors' Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Institute's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated 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 Institute'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 consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements, as listed in the accompanying table of contents, present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the changes in their net assets for the year ended June 30, 2016 and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Other Matter We previously audited the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2015, and the related consolidated statement of activities, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated September 11, 2015, we expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying summarized financial information as of June 30, 2015 and for the year then ended is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.
