Item 6.04 — Failure to Make a Required Distribution

The Bank of New York, Trustee and Securities Intermediary (the “Trustee”) for PPLUS Trust Series CSF-1, identified that the distribution of $937,500 to holders of Class A trust certificates and $131,250 to holders of Class B trust certificates was not paid on July 16, 2007, which was the distribution date specified in the transaction documents. The distribution was subsequently made to certificateholders on July 17, 2007. The Trustee informed the Depositor that the late distribution was the result of conversion and migration to a new database platform and because the Trustee’s debt service system logic required additional enhancement to systemically release payments. The Trustee informed the Depositor that additional controls have been put in place and procedures are currently being reinforced so that distributions are remitted to certificateholders within the applicable time frames in accordance with the transaction documents. In addition, the Trustee’s debt service system has been enhanced to help prevent a future occurrence.
