Main Place Funding, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1  Description of Business

Main Place Funding, LLC (Main Place), a Delaware limited liability
company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America, N.A. (the Parent), which is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (the Corporation).

Main Place was established originally as a Maryland real estate investment trust to consolidate the acquisition, holding and management of certain closed-end residential
mortgage loans owned by certain affiliates of the Corporation. In August 2002, Main Place Trust, a Delaware business trust, was liquidated into the Parent. The Parent holds a 100 percent membership interest in Main Place. Main Place is also
considered a single-member LLC under current tax law.

On October 21, 2002, Main Place adopted an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company
Agreement which removed certain restrictions on the business activities of Main Place permitting it to engage in any activity and to exercise any powers permitted to limited liability companies under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Main Place operates a business of entering into financial warranty agreements in favor of third parties for a fee. As of March 31, 2008, Main Place was a party to
three financial warranty agreements with third-party trusts. These trusts are open-ended diversified, registered investment companies. Under the terms of these warranty agreements, Main Place provides financial warranties in order to ensure that the
trusts are able to redeem all of the outstanding shares of specified series on the warranty maturity dates for an amount at least equal to an aggregate protected amount. For each of the agreements entered into by Main Place with a third party, Main
Place has also entered into a financial warranty agreement with the Parent. Under the terms of these agreements, the Parent provides financial warranties in favor of Main Place corresponding to Main Places obligations under the financial
warranties with the third parties.

Note 2  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

statements is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results have been made. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual statements.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could
differ from these estimates. Significant estimates made by management are discussed in these footnotes as applicable. Accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are presented in Note 2 on pages 15 to 16 of Main
Places 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2007, and notes included in Main Places 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

Note 3  Derivatives  Financial Warranty Agreements

Main Place is in the business of entering into financial warranty agreements with third parties. As of March 31, 2008, Main Place was a party to three financial warranty agreements with third party trusts. The
aggregate net asset value of outstanding shares subject to these financial warranty agreements was $221.1 million and $255.8 million at March 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively. For each of the agreements entered into by Main
Place with a third party, Main Place has also entered into a financial warranty agreement with the Parent. Net trading account loss from these agreements totaled $105 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008, representing a loss of
$16 thousand from the corresponding period in 2007.

On October 29, 2002, Main Place entered into a financial warranty agreement with Pioneer
Principal Protection Trust, on behalf of its series Pioneer Protected Principal Plus Fund and Pioneer Investment Management, Inc. The trust is an open-ended diversified, registered investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as

amended. Under the terms of the agreement, Main Place provided a financial warranty to the trust in the amount of up to $180.3 million in order to ensure
that the trust is able to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the series on the maturity date, as defined in the financial warranty agreement. The last day upon which the financial warranty may be drawn is January 8, 2010.

On December 20, 2002, Main Place entered into a financial warranty agreement with the Parent. Under the terms of this agreement, the Parent provided a financial
warranty in favor of Main Place in the amount of up to $180.3 million, corresponding to Main Places obligations under the financial warranty in favor of Pioneer Principal Protection Trust, on behalf of its series, Pioneer Protected Principal
Plus Fund.

On November 1, 2002, Main Place entered into a financial warranty agreement with Merrill Lynch Principal Protected Trust, on behalf of its
series Merrill Lynch Fundamental Growth Principal Protected Fund and Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. The trust is an open-ended diversified, registered investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Under
the terms of the agreement, Main Place provided a financial warranty in the amount of up to $265.9 million in order to ensure that the trust is able to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the series on the maturity date, as defined in the
financial warranty agreement. The last day upon which the financial warranty may be drawn is December 1, 2009.

On November 13, 2002, Main Place
entered into a financial warranty agreement with the Parent. Under the terms of this agreement, the Parent provided a financial warranty in favor of Main Place in the amount of up to $265.9 million, corresponding to Main Places obligations
under the financial warranty in favor of Merrill Lynch Principal Protected Trust, on behalf of its series, Merrill Lynch Fundamental Growth Principal Protected Fund.

On November 1, 2002, Main Place also entered into a financial warranty agreement with Merrill Lynch Principal Protected Trust, on behalf of its series, Merrill Lynch Basic Value Principal Protected Fund and Fund
Asset Management, L.P. The trust is an open-ended diversified, registered investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Under the terms of the agreement, Main Place provided a financial warranty in the amount of
up to $335.8 million in order to ensure that the trust is able to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the series on the maturity date, as defined in the financial warranty agreement. The last day upon which the financial warranty may be drawn is
December 1, 2009.

On November 13, 2002, Main Place also entered into a financial warranty agreement with the Parent. Under the terms of this
agreement, the Parent provided a financial warranty in favor of Main Place in the amount of up to $335.8 million, corresponding to Main Places obligations under the financial warranty in favor of Merrill Lynch Principal Protected Trust, on
behalf of its series, Merrill Lynch Basic Value Principal Protected Fund.

Main Place structures these financial warranties to include investment
constraints and certain pre-defined triggers that would require the underlying assets or portfolio of the relevant trust to be liquidated and invested in zero-coupon bonds that mature at a preset future date. Main Place is required to fund any
shortfall at the preset future date between the value of the trusts assets and a preset amount. These financial warranties are booked as derivatives and marked to market in the trading portfolio. Main Place has never made a payment to fund any
shortfall amount under these products and management believes that the probability of such a payment under these financial warranties is remote.

On
February 15, 2006, BlackRock, Inc. & Merrill Lynch agreed to merge their investment management businesses. As part of the merger with BlackRock, the Merrill Lynch Principal Protected Trust Agreements became the BlackRock Principal
Protected Trust Agreements on September 29, 2006 when the merger was completed.

Note 4  Affiliate Transactions

Main Place maintains its cash and cash equivalent accounts with the Parent. Main Place had $980.1 million and $971.4 million of time deposits placed with the Parent at
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Interest income on time deposits placed with the Parent for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was $8.3 million, compared to $93.8 million for the same prior year period.

The Parent pays for substantially all general and administrative expenses incurred by the Company, including but not
limited to compensation and incentive benefits and office overhead. Total expenses allocated to Main Place by the Parent for the three ended March 31, 2008, were $25 thousand and are included in other general and operating expenses.

As described more fully in Note 3, the Parent has entered into financial warranty agreements with Main Place. Under the terms of these agreements, the Parent provides
financial warranties in favor of Main Place, where the maximum obligation under the financial warranties is $782.0 million, which corresponds with Main Places obligations under financial warranty agreements in favor of third parties. For the
three months ended March 31, 2008, Main Place paid $238 thousand of fees to the Parent related to these agreements, compared to $320 thousand for the same prior year periods. These fees are included in Trading losses and fees on the Statement
of Income.

Accrued expenses due to affiliates at March 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, were $109.7 million and $106.6 million, respectively,
primarily reflecting income taxes due to the Parent.

Note 5  Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurement

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange
price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157
also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to
measure fair value:



|        |  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|------- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Level 1 |  | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|        | 
|Level 2 |  | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, 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 full term of the assets or liabilities.
|        | 
|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.                                                                                                                                                       

Main Places derivative assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using
significant unobservable inputs and are therefore classified as Level 3 measurements. Management calculates the fair value of the derivative assets and liabilities as the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be exchanged under the
financial warranty agreements, including both the estimated liability to the funds and receivable from the Parent valued based on historical market performance of the funds, and the estimated fees to be received from the funds, as disclosed in Note
3, and paid to the Parent. These fees are calculated based on the net asset value of the aforementioned funds as of March 31, 2008.

The table below
presents a reconciliation of changes in fair value of derivative instruments for three months ended March 31, 2008.

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total income for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was $8.2 million, representing a decrease of $85.5 million from the corresponding period in 2007. The decrease in the three month period was primarily a
result of decreased interest on time deposits due to a lower time deposit balance. The trading losses and fees for the three months ended March 31, 2008, increased $16 thousand from the corresponding period in 2007, to a loss of $105 thousand.
The increased trading losses were due primarily to the lower present value caused by the decrease in the aggregate net asset value of outstanding shares subject to the financial warranty agreements.

Total expenses (excluding income taxes) for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was $89 thousand, compared to $53 thousand for the same periods in 2007.

Total net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was $5.0 million, representing a decrease of $52.7 million from the corresponding period
in 2007. As discussed above, the decrease in the three months period was primarily a result of decreased interest on time deposits due to the lower time deposit balance. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was $3.1
million, representing a decrease of $32.8 million from the corresponding period in 2007.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

Main Places primary source of liquidity is its cash and cash equivalents on hand and interest income thereon. At March 31, 2008, Main Place had approximately
$1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents, which were mostly held as time deposits with the Parent. At March 31, 2008, Main Places maximum obligation under the financial warranties was $782.0 million and the estimated pay out on the
warranty contracts was $2.9 million. The overall potential liability was lower than the present value of the future cash in-flow, and Main Place has never made a payment to fund any shortfall amount under these products.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Principles

Main Places significant accounting principles are described in Note 2 of Main Places audited financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and are essential to
understanding Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Some of Main Places accounting principles require significant judgment to estimate values of either assets or liabilities. In addition,
certain accounting principles require significant judgment in applying the accounting principles to individual transactions to determine the most appropriate treatment. We have established procedures and processes to facilitate making the judgments
necessary to prepare financial statements.

The following is a summary of the more judgmental and critical accounting estimates and principles. In each
area, we have identified the variables most important in the estimation process. Management has used the best information available to make the estimations necessary to value the related assets and liabilities. Actual performance that differs from
our estimates and future changes in the key variables could change future valuations and impact net income.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Main Place engages in derivative trading-related activities. The management process related to the derivative positions is discussed in detail in
Item 7A  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Main Places 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Trading positions recorded on the balance sheet are at estimated fair value. The potential future payout to
the funds and to be received from the Parent, was netted against the present value of the fees to be received from the funds and paid to the parents.

Income Taxes

Main Place estimates tax expense based on the amount it expects to owe as part of a tax allocation agreement with the
Corporation, inclusive of current state taxes payable to the Parent. Accrued income taxes represent the net estimated amount due or to be received from taxing authorities. In estimating accrued income taxes, Main Place assesses the relative merits
and risks of the appropriate tax treatment of transactions taking into account statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance in the context of its tax position.

Contractual Obligation

Main Place has entered into financial warranty agreements with the Parent. Under the terms of these agreements, the
Parent provides financial warranties in favor of Main Place and Main Place have fees to the Parent. The below table is the best estimate of contractual obligation that Main Place due to the Parent based on the net asset value of the aforementioned
funds as of March 31, 2008.

|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

Main Places disclosure controls and
procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act securities laws is accumulated and communicated to management, including Main Places President and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer.

As of the end of the period covered by this report and pursuant to Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Main Place carried out an
evaluation, with the participation of Main Places management, including Main Places President and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness and design of Main Places disclosure controls and procedures as
defined under rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, Main Places President and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Main
Places disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting information required to be disclosed by Main Place, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions
rules and forms. In addition, there have been no changes in Main Places internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Main
Places internal control over financial reporting.
