SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE LABORERS NATIONAL PENSION FUND
This is a summary of the annual report (Form 5500) for the Laborers National Pension Fund, Employer Identification Number 75-1280827, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The annual report has been filed with the U.S. Department of Labor as required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA requires such a summary be provided to you annually.

BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Benefits under the Plan are provided in whole by a trust fund. Plan expenses were $145,996,755. These expenses included $2,868,295 in administrative expenses, $6,462,548 in investment expenses and $136,665,912 in benefits paid to participants and beneficiaries. A total of 45,849 persons were participants and/or beneficiaries of the Plan by the end of the Plan year although not all of these persons had yet earned the right to receive benefits.

The value of Plan assets after subtracting liabilities of the Plan was $1,762,004,832 as of December 31, 2006, compared to $1,649,612,897 as of January 1, 2006. During the Plan year, the Plan experienced an increase in its net assets of $112,391,935. This increase included unrealized appreciation or depreciation in value of the Plan’s assets; that is, the difference between the value of Plan assets at the end of the year and the value of the assets at the beginning of the year, or the cost of assets acquired during the year.

The Plan had total income of $258,388,690, including employer contributions of $40,582,954, and net earnings from investments of $217,805,736.
