20. Contingencies:
The State is party to legal proceedings, which normally occur in governmental operations. The legal
proceedings are not, in the opinion of the Attorney General, likely to have a material, adverse impact on the
financial position of the State as a whole.
As of June 30, 1993, mortgage loan insurance programs included in the enterprise funds were contingently
liable as insurer of mortgage loans payable, or portions of mortgage loans payable, in an aggregate amount of
approximately $769,692,000 (including $594,096,000 for the economic development loan programs). In addition,
there are commitments to insure mortgage loans which would represent additional contingent liabilities of
approximately $53,442,000.
The Maryland Higher Education Loan Corporation (Corporation), as endorser of student loans, is
contingently liable to lending institutions for purchase of student loans in default. In the event of such default, the
Corporation is liable to the lending institution for the unpaid principal amount of the loan plus unpaid interest,
including interest accrued from the date of default until the date of purchase by the Corporation. As of June 30,
1993, the Corporation has endorsed loans outstanding of approximately $955,000,000. These loans are covered by
a Federal reinsurance agreement with the U.S. Department of Education. The agreement provides for repurchase
by the U.S. Department of Education of 100% of the amount of loans which default; however, if the default rate
exceeds 5% of the loans in repayment status as of September 30 of the preceding year, the reinsurance rate is
90%, and for all defaults in excess of 9% the reinsurance rate is 80%.
The State receives significant financial assistance from the U.S. Government. Entitlement to the resources is
generally conditioned upon compliance with terms and conditions of the grant agreements and applicable Federal
regulations, including the expenditure of the resources for eligible purposes. Substantially all grants are subject to
financial and compliance audits by the grantors. Any disallowances as a result of these audits become a liability of
the fund which received the grant. As of June 30,1993, the State estimates that no material liabilities will result
from such audits.
