Semiannual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| Annualized Expense RatioB | Beginning Account Value December 1, 2013 | Ending Account Value May 31, 2014 | Expenses Paid During Period* December 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014 |
Actual | .24% | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,000.05 | $ 1.20 |
HypotheticalA | | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,023.73 | $ 1.21 |
A 5% return per year before expenses
B Annualized expense ratio reflects expenses net of applicable fee waivers.
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

This is a weighted average of all the maturities of the securities held in a fund. Weighted Average Maturity (WAM) can be used as a measure of sensitivity to interest rate changes and market changes. Generally, the longer the maturity, the greater the sensitivity to such changes. WAM is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments must be paid. Depending on the types of securities held in a fund, certain maturity shortening devices (e.g., demand features, interest rate resets, and call options) may be taken into account when calculating the WAM. |
Weighted Average Life |
| 5/31/14 | 11/30/13 | 5/31/13 |
Fidelity Cash Reserves | 84 Days | 114 Days | 76 Days |
Weighted Average Life (WAL) is the weighted average of the life of the securities held in a fund or portfolio and can be used as a measure of sensitivity to changes in liquidity and/or credit risk. Generally, the higher the value, the greater the sensitivity. WAL is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments must be paid, taking into account any call options exercised by the issuer and any permissible maturity shortening features other than interest rate resets. The difference between WAM and WAL is that WAM takes into account interest rate resets and WAL does not. WAL for money market funds is not the same as WAL of a mortgage- or asset-backed security. |

Yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, as they are here, though they are expressed as annual percentage rates. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Yield will vary and it's possible to lose money investing in the Fund. A portion of the Fund's expenses was reimbursed and/or waived. Absent such reimbursements and/or waivers the yield for the period ending May 31, 2014, the most recent period shown in the table, would have been -0.12%.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended May 31, 2014
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)
1. Organization.
Fidelity® Cash Reserves (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
As permitted by compliance with certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity. Securities held by a money market fund are generally high quality and liquid; however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value are not quoted prices in an active market.
Investment Transactions and Income. The net asset value per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable.
Semiannual Report
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. During the period, the Fund incurred an excise tax liability on undistributed net investment income and undistributed short-term capital gain which is included in Miscellaneous expense on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.
Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Repurchase Agreements. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, are permitted to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements. To enhance its yield, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase transactions under master repurchase agreements whereby the Fund sells securities to a counterparty in return for cash and agrees to repurchase those securities at a future date and agreed upon price. During the period that reverse repurchase transactions are outstanding, the Fund identifies the securities as pledged in its records with an initial value at least equal to its principal obligation under the agreement. The cash proceeds received by the Fund may be invested in other securities. To the extent cash proceeds received from the counterparty exceed the value of the securities sold, the counterparty may request additional collateral from the Fund. If the counterparty defaults on its obligation, because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities sold. Information regarding securities sold under a reverse repurchase agreement, if any, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments and the cash proceeds are recorded as a liability in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund continues to receive interest and dividend payments on the securities sold during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement. At period end, there were no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a total income-based component. The annualized group fee rate averaged .11% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. The total income-based component is calculated according to a graduated schedule providing for different rates based on the Fund's gross annualized yield. The rate increases as the Fund's gross yield increases.
During the period the income-based portion of this fee was $32,201 or an annualized rate of .06% of the Fund's average net assets. For the reporting period, the Fund's total annualized management fee rate was .17% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .19% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month.

(Amounts in thousands except percentages)
4. Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser or its affiliates voluntarily agreed to waive certain fees in order to maintain a minimum annualized yield of .01%. Such arrangements may be discontinued by the investment adviser at any time. For the period, the amount of the waiver was $75,694.
In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $11.
In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $11.
5. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Semiannual Report
To the Trustees of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Cash Reserves:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Cash Reserves (a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust) at May 31, 2014, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Cash Reserves' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2014 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

This is a weighted average of all the maturities of the securities held in a fund. Weighted Average Maturity (WAM) can be used as a measure of sensitivity to interest rate changes and market changes. Generally, the longer the maturity, the greater the sensitivity to such changes. WAM is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments must be paid. Depending on the types of securities held in a fund, certain maturity shortening devices (e.g., demand features, interest rate resets, and call options) may be taken into account when calculating the WAM. |
Weighted Average Life |
| 5/31/14 | 11/30/13 | 5/31/13 |
Fidelity U.S. Government Reserves | 107 Days | 106 Days | 96 Days |
Weighted Average Life (WAL) is the weighted average of the life of the securities held in a fund or portfolio and can be used as a measure of sensitivity to changes in liquidity and/or credit risk. Generally, the higher the value, the greater the sensitivity. WAL is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments must be paid, taking into account any call options exercised by the issuer and any permissible maturity shortening features other than interest rate resets. The difference between WAM and WAL is that WAM takes into account interest rate resets and WAL does not. WAL for money market funds is not the same as WAL of a mortgage- or asset-backed security. |

Yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, as they are here, though they are expressed as annual percentage rates. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Yield will vary and it's possible to lose money investing in the Fund. A portion of the Fund's expenses was reimbursed and/or waived. Absent such reimbursements and/or waivers the yield for the period ending May 31, 2014, the most recent period shown in the table, would have been -0.21%.

Semiannual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended May 31, 2014 (Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)
1. Organization.
Fidelity® U.S. Government Reserves (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
As permitted by compliance with certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity. Securities held by a money market fund are generally high quality and liquid; however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value are not quoted prices in an active market.
Investment Transactions and Income. The net asset value per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable.
Semiannual Report
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. During the period, the Fund incurred an excise tax liability on undistributed net investment income and undistributed short-term capital gain which is included in Miscellaneous expense on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.
Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to deferred trustees compensation.
The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ - |
Gross unrealized depreciation | - |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities and other investments | $ - |
| |
Tax cost | $ 2,278,583 |

Repurchase Agreements. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, are permitted to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements. To enhance its yield, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase transactions under master repurchase agreements whereby the Fund sells securities to a counterparty in return for cash and agrees to repurchase those securities at a future date and agreed upon price. During the period that reverse repurchase transactions are outstanding, the Fund identifies the securities as pledged in its records with an initial value at least equal to its principal obligation under the agreement. The cash proceeds received by the Fund may be invested in other securities. To the extent cash proceeds received from the counterparty exceed the value of the securities sold, the counterparty may request additional collateral from the Fund. If the counterparty defaults on its obligation, because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities sold. Information regarding securities sold under a reverse repurchase agreement, if any, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments and the cash proceeds are recorded as a liability in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund continues to receive interest and dividend payments on the securities sold during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement. At period end, there were no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a total income-based component. The annualized group fee rate averaged .11% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser,
Semiannual Report
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Management Fee - continued
including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. The total income-based component is calculated according to a graduated schedule providing for different rates based on the Fund's gross annualized yield. The rate increases as the Fund's gross yield increases.
During the period the income-based portion of this fee was $611 or an annualized rate of .05% of the Fund's average net assets. For the reporting period, the Fund's total annualized management fee rate was .16% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .14% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month.
4. Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser or its affiliates voluntarily agreed to waive certain fees in order to maintain a minimum annualized yield of .01%. Such arrangements may be discontinued by the investment adviser at any time. For the period, the amount of the waiver was $2,510.
In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $2.
5. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
