GOVERNMENT TRUST 1-D
Financial Statements as of December 31, 2006
and Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
----------------------------------------------------------
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Government Trust 1-D
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Government Trust 1-D (the
"Trust") as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of income, cash
flows and changes in Trust balance for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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. The Trust is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities held by the
Depository as of December 31, 2006 for the account of the Government of Israel,
for the purpose described in Note 4 of the notes to financial statements, by
correspondence with the Depository. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Government Trust 1-D at
December 31, 2006, the results of its operations, cash flows and changes in
Trust balance for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

GOVERNMENT TRUST 1-D
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2006
- --------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Government Trust 1-D (the "Trust") is a limited purpose trust established
under the laws of the state of Illinois pursuant to a Declaration of Trust
(the "Declaration") between the Trust and Bank of New York (formerly,
JPMorgan Trust Company, N.A., formerly, Bank One Trust Company, N.A.,
formerly, First National Bank of Chicago), as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The
Trust was created for the sole purpose of the issuance and sale of a single
class of Zero Coupon Certificates (the "Certificates"). The assets of the
Trust consist of a Promissory Note (a "Loan Note") from the Government of
Israel ("Israel"). The Loan Note is backed by a full faith and credit
guaranty (the "Guaranty") issued by the United States of America, acting
through the Defense Security Assistance Agency of the Department of Defense
(the "DSA"), of the due and punctual payment of 90% of all payments of
principal and interest due on the Loan Note (the "Guaranteed Portion") and
a security interest in certain collateral, consisting of non-callable
securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, sufficient
to pay the remaining 10% of all payments of principal and interest due on
the Loan Note (the "Unguaranteed Secured Portion"). The Loan Note and
Certificates will not be subject to prepayment or acceleration.
2. LOAN NOTE
The Loan Note in the original principal amount of $1,300,000,000 evidences
a loan made by the Trust to Israel subject to the terms and conditions of a
Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") dated as of September 29, 1988
between the Trust and Israel. The Loan Note is carried at amortized cost on
the accompanying Balance Sheet because of the Trust's intent and ability to
hold the Loan Note to maturity. The proceeds from the Loan Note were used
to prepay certain loans made to Israel from the Federal Financing Bank.
Semi-annual payments of interest at an annual rate of 9.7450% are due on
the Loan Note on each May 3 and November 3 (each a "Note Payment Date"). On
May 3, 2006 and November 3, 2006 Note Payment Dates, Israel made its
scheduled payments of principal on the Loan Note in the amounts of
$33,951,000 and $39,761,000, respectively. Scheduled principal payments are
due on each Note Payment Date as follows:
Payment Principal Payment Principal
Date Payment Date Payment
May 3, 2007 $40,051,000 November 3, 2010 $47,368,000
November 3, 2007 67,844,000 May 3, 2011 47,368,000
May 3, 2008 89,940,000 November 3, 2011 29,248,000
November 3, 2008 93,710,000 May 3, 2012 22,773,000
May 3, 2009 92,701,000 November 3, 2012 16,877,000
November 3, 2009 93,710,000 May 3, 2013 16,877,000
May 3, 2010 41,800,000 November 3, 2013 16,864,000
The Government of the United States, acting through the DSA, has agreed to
guarantee the repayment of the Guaranteed Portion due to the Trust under
the Note. Israel has agreed to pledge certain collateral as security for
the repayment of the Unguaranteed Secured Portion, as more fully described
in Note 4. The estimated fair value of the Loan Note approximates the fair
value of the Certificates. The estimated fair value of the Certificates at
December 31, 2006 was approximately $808,690,000. The estimate of the fair
value of the Certificates is based upon the present values of the cash
flows using risk-adjusted spreads to the U.S. Treasury curve.
3. THE ZERO COUPON CERTIFICATES
On September 29, 1988, the Trust issued 51 separate series of Certificates,
Class 1-D. Thirty-seven of such series of Certificates matured prior to
December 31, 2006. Each of the remaining series of Certificates will mature
on one of the semiannual certificate payment dates from May 15, 2007 to
November 15, 2013 (each, a "Maturity Date"). Scheduled distributions are
due on the Maturity Dates as follows:
Maturity Distribution Maturity Distribution
Date Amount Date Amount
May 15, 2007 $74,966,316 November 15, 2010 $56,977,695
November 15, 2007 100,809,333 May 15, 2011 54,671,466
May 15, 2008 119,602,178 November 15, 2011 34,245,236
November 15, 2008 118,993,224 May 15, 2012 26,346,224
May 15, 2009 113,421,718 November 15, 2012 19,341,464
November 15, 2009 109,917,338 May 15, 2013 18,519,765
May 15, 2010 53,444.833 November 15, 2013 17,685,066
Each of the Certificates evidences an undivided fractional interest in the
Trust, and represents the right to receive a portion of the semiannual
payments due on the Loan Note held by the Trust.
4. THE COLLATERAL
In accordance with the Collateral Depository Agreement (the "Depository
Agreement") between Israel, the Trustee, and The Bank of New York, as
depository (the "Depository"), and in order to provide security for the
payment of the Unguaranteed Secured Portion, Israel has pledged certain
collateral, consisting of non-callable securities issued or guaranteed by
the United States Government (together with the proceeds thereof, the
"Collateral"). The Collateral is of such amounts and has such payment dates
as to enable the Trustee to receive on or immediately prior to each
semiannual Maturity Date an amount sufficient to pay the Unguaranteed
Secured Portion if timely payment on the Loan Note has not been received by
the related Note Payment Date. All of the Collateral was deposited with the
Depository on the date that the loans evidenced by the Loan Note were made
by the Trust to Israel.
5. THE TRUSTEE
Pursuant to the Declaration, the Trustee established a separate trust
account for the Trust. All payments received with respect to the Loan
Notes, the Guaranty and any relevant Collateral are deposited in the trust
account for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates after deducting
fees of the Trustee and any additional expenses of the Trust. Any excess
funds remaining in the trust account after the payment of principal on the
Certificates will revert back to Israel to the extent such funds were
provided by Israel but not needed for the above purpose.
6. INCOME TAXES
The Trust is classified as a Grantor Trust and will not be subject to
Federal income taxes. Each Certificateholder will be treated for Federal
income tax purposes as the owner of a pro rata undivided fractional
interest in the assets held by the Trust. The difference between the
financial reporting and income tax bases of the Trust's assets and
liabilities is not significant.
7. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation No. 157 entitled Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. The Trust is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on its financial
statements. At this time, the impact to the Trust's financial statements
has not been determined.
In July 2006, the FASB released "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes" ("FIN 48"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. FIN 48 clarifies accounting for income taxes recognized
in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." This interpretation prescribes a
comprehensive model for how an entity should recognize, measure, present
and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the
entity has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Trust is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its financial statements. At
this time, the impact to the Trust's financial statements has not been
determined.
