General
MACC Private Equities Inc. ("
MACC" or the "
Company"), the predecessor to MACC PEI Liquidating Trust (the "
Trust") was formed as a Delaware corporation on March 3, 1994. On September 26, 2011 at a special meeting (the "
Special Meeting") of the shareholders of MACC (the "
Shareholders"), the following measures were approved:
|
1.
|
the complete liquidation and dissolution of MACC and the transfer of all of MACC's assets and certain liabilities to a liquidating trust established for the sole purpose of distributing MACC's assets to the Shareholders (the "Liquidation"); and
|
|
2.
|
the withdrawal of MACC's election to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").
|
The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") previously approved the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution on April 13, 2011 (the "Plan"). As a result of Shareholder approval of the Plan and the proposals at the Special Meeting, the Company executed the MACC PEI Liquidating Trust Agreement as Grantor, with NL Strategies, Inc., a California corporation, as Managing Trustee (the "Managing Trustee") and The Corporation Trust Company, a Delaware corporation, as Resident Trustee (the "Trust Agreement"). Under the Trust Agreement the Managing Trustee will distribute the residue of the proceeds of liquidation of MACC's assets to the beneficiaries of the Trust. The Company and the Trust also executed a Bill of Sale, Assignment, Acceptance and Assumption Agreement (the "Bill of Sale") conveying all of MACC's assets and certain obligations to the Trust. In connection with the Trust Agreement and Bill of Sale, the Trust executed a Sixth Amendment to Business Loan Agreement with Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust Company ("CRB&T") to assume the obligations of the Company's term note in the approximate principal amount of $1,900,000 (the "Note"). Effective November 7, 2011, the Managing Trustee refinanced the Note with Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust by ("CRB&T") executing a new promissory note with Farmers & Merchants Savings Bank ("F&M Bank") providing for a loan to the Trust in the principal amount of $2,100,000.00 (the "Loan"). The Loan was funded on November 17, 2011. On January 18, 2012, the Loan, including all principal, accrued interest and fees, totaling $2,118,083 was retired from proceeds generated by the liquidation of investments in portfolio companies.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement, each former Shareholder received a pro-rata beneficial interest in the Trust equal to the Shareholder's percentage ownership of MACC common stock. For each share of MACC common stock, the holder received one unit of beneficial ownership in the Trust ("Trust Units").
As approved by the Shareholders, the Company withdrew its election to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act on October 4, 2011. The Company also relied on no-action relief granted by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to similarly-situated liquidating trusts to limit its reporting under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Accordingly, former Shareholders who are now holders of trust units are provided the following reports going forward:
|
o
|
Following the end of each calendar year, the Trust will mail to each registered unit holder the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form to report the unit holder's pro rata share of each item of income, gain and loss of the Trust for the preceding calendar year.
|
|
o
|
The Trust will file reports with the SEC under Form 8-K respecting any material events impacting the Trust investment portfolio, such as material sales of portfolio securities.
|
|
o
|
The Trust will file an annual report with the SEC respecting the Trust's activities, including unaudited financials, with the SEC following the end of each calendar year.
|
|
o
|
All items filed with the SEC may be found on the SEC's web site (www.sec.gov) by reviewing filings for MACC PEI Liquidating Trust.
|
After payment of the Trust's obligations, including the Note, when cash liquidation proceeds are accumulated in an amount which the Managing Trustee determines would be cost effective to distribute, the Trust will make one or more cash distributions to unit holders.
The Company terminated the registration of its securities with the SEC by filing a Form 15 on October 4, 2011. As a result, the Company is no longer obligated to file reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act.
As previously disclosed, Trust Units are not be transferable or assignable, except that they may be assigned or transferred by will, intestate succession, or operation of law and that the executor or administrator of the estate of a holder of Trust Units may mortgage, pledge, grant a security interest in, hypothecate or otherwise encumber the Trust Units held by the estate of such holder if necessary in order to borrow money to pay estate, succession or inheritance taxes or the expenses of administering the estate of the holder upon written notice to and upon written consent of the trustee of the Liquidating Trust. The Trust Units are not certificated. Trust Units are not listed on any exchange or quoted on any quotation system, and the Liquidating Trust Agreement provides that neither the Managing Trustee nor anyone associated with the Liquidating Trust may take any action to facilitate or encourage any trading in Trust Units.
The Liquidating Trust's activities are limited to conserving, protecting and selling the assets transferred to it and distributing the proceeds therefrom, including holding such assets for the benefit of the holders of Trust Units, enforcing the rights of the holders of Trust Units, temporarily investing such proceeds and collecting income therefrom, providing for the liabilities of the Liquidating Trust and MACC's wind-up expenses, making liquidating distributions to the holders of Trust Units, taking such other actions as may be necessary to conserve and protect the assets of the Liquidating Trust and providing for the orderly liquidation thereof. The Managing Trustee has sole authority to value the Liquidating Trust's assets.
The Managing Trustee is responsible for conserving the Liquidating Trust's assets, under duties imposed by applicable law. The Liquidating Trust will terminate upon payment to the holders of Trust Units of all of the Liquidating Trust's assets and in any event upon the third anniversary of the date assets are first transferred to the Liquidating Trust. The life of the Liquidating Trust may, however, be extended to more than three years if the Managing Trustee of the Liquidating Trust then determines that an extension is reasonably necessary to pay or make provision for then known liabilities, actual or contingent. Consistent with past grants of no-action relief by the SEC staff, the Liquidating Trust may need to apply for no-action relief from the SEC staff if the term of the Liquidating Trust's term must be extended. No assurance can be given that the Liquidating Trust would be able to obtain such extension if needed, and therefore the Liquidating Trust may be required to incur additional expenses if its term is extended.
The Trustee has reviewed remaining portfolio assets and believes it is in the Trust's best interest for the Trust to be extended for one additional year (through September, 2015). While it is uncertain whether it is possible, the Trustee anticipates that most [majority] remaining assets can be liquidated during the next twelve (12) months. The Trust will shortly file a request for no-action relief to the SEC requesting that the life of the Trust be extended through the end of September, 2015.

MACC PEI LIQUIDATING TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013
(1) PURPOSE OF THE LIQUIDATING TRUST
MACC Private Equities Inc. ("MACC" or the "Company"), the predecessor to MACC PEI Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") was formed as a Delaware corporation on March 3, 1994. On September 26, 2011 at a special meeting (the "Special Meeting") of the shareholders (the "Shareholders") the following measures were approved:
|
1.
|
the complete liquidation and dissolution of MACC and the transfer of all of MACC's assets and certain liabilities to a liquidating trust established for the sole purpose of distributing MACC's assets to the Shareholders (the "Liquidation"); and
|
|
2.
|
the withdrawal of MACC's election to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").
|
The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") previously approved the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution on April 13, 2011 (the "Plan"). As a result of Shareholder approval of the Plan and the proposals at the Special Meeting, on September 29, 2011, the Company executed the MACC PEI Liquidating Trust Agreement as Grantor, with NL Strategies, Inc., a California corporation, as Managing Trustee (the "Managing Trustee") and The Corporation Trust Company, a Delaware corporation, as Resident Trustee (the "Trust Agreement"). Under the Trust Agreement the Managing Trustee will distribute the residue of the proceeds of liquidation of MACC's assets to the beneficiaries of the Trust. The Company and the Trust also executed a Bill of Sale, Assignment, Acceptance and Assumption Agreement (the "Bill of Sale") conveying all of MACC's assets and certain obligations to the Trust. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement, each former Shareholder received a pro-rata beneficial interest in the Trust equal to the Shareholder's percentage ownership of MACC common stock. For each share of MACC common stock, the holder received one unit of beneficial ownership in the Trust ("Trust Units"). After payment of the Trust's obligations, including the Note, when cash liquidation proceeds are accumulated in an amount which the Managing Trustee determines would be cost effective to distribute, the Trust will make one or more cash distributions to unit holders. As there is no equity in a liquidating trust, no statements of changes in members' equity are presented.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
(a) |
Basis of Presentation |
The financial statements of the Trust have been prepared on a liquidation basis. The asset values listed for each portfolio investment are consistent with what is believed to be the net realizable value on a liquidation basis. Future costs and expenses of the Trust, and of liquidating the assets, are believed to approximate the income such assets will earn in the future and thus no additional adjustment to net realizable value has been made.
The Trust's cash is held at two financial institutions and at times may exceed insured limits. The Trust has placed these funds in high quality institutions in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits.
The Trust is taxed as a partnership for federal and State income tax purposes. No provision for income taxes has been recorded since the liability for such taxes is that of each of the individual beneficiaries rather than the Trust. The Trust income tax returns are subject to change by examination from Federal and State taxing authorities, and changes, if any, could adjust the individual income tax of the beneficiaries.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
There are no items to report.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
(a)
|
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
|
As of December 31, 2013, the President of the Managing Trustee of the Trust (the "Certifying Officer") conducted evaluations of the Trust's disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Although the Trust is no longer required to file and submit reports under the Exchange Act, the Certifying Officer has evaluated the Trust's disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded, that those disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
|
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Trust's internal control system is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes policies and procedures that: 1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; 2) provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management; and 3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Trust's assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Because of these limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Trust's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. Based on this assessment, the Trust's management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, the Trust's integrated controls over financial reporting were effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Trust's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting due to the established rules of the SEC and Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010.
(c)
|
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
|
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.
