                        additional $1,967,259 of Series 1993-A and 1993-B sinking fund monies were
                        deposited into the 1993 Escrow Fund.

                        The Series 2003-B Bonds have been paid in full as of June 30, 2015.

                        The Series 2003-B net bond proceeds of $19,764,504 (after payment of $577,619
                        in issuance cost) plus an additional $2,012,283 of Series 1993-A and 1993-B
                        sinking fund monies were deposited into the 1993 Escrow Fund.


                        In refunding the Series 1993-A and Series 1993-B Bonds, the Authority incurred a
                        loss of approximately $1,802,751 which was deferred and was being amortized
                        over the life of the new debt in accordance with GASB 23.  The Authority was
                        expected to reduce its aggregate debt service payments and obtain an economic
                        gain (difference between the present value of debt service of the refunded bonds
                        and the Series 2003-A and 2003-B Airport Revenue Refunding Bonds) estimated
                        to be approximately $2,177,000.  In accordance with GASB 65, the remaining
                        balance of issuance cost was written off as of June 30, 2013.

                        On July 11, 2007, the Authority issued the Birmingham Airport Authority Airport
                        Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2007, in the amount of $44,635,000.  The Series
                        2007 Bonds were issued to provide funds to refund the Authority's Series 1996 and
                        1999 Bonds outstanding in the principal amounts of $24,220,000 and $20,515,000,
                        respectively.

                        The Series 2007 Bonds mature no later than July 1, 2026, and require semi-annual
                        interest payments on January 1 and July 1, beginning January 1, 2008, at rates
                        ranging between 5 and 5.25 percent.  Principal payments on the Series 2007 Bonds
                        are due annually beginning July 1, 2008.

                        The Series 2007 net bond proceeds of $45,622,343 (after payment of $343,478 in
                        issuance cost) plus an additional $141,713 of Series 1996 and 1999 sinking fund
                        monies were deposited into the 1996 and 1999 Escrow Fund.

                        In refunding the Series 1996 and Series 1999 Bonds, the Authority incurred a loss
                        of approximately $1,375,552, which was deferred and is being amortized over the
                        life of the new debt in accordance with GASB 23.  The Authority is expected to
                        reduce its aggregate debt service payments over the next 19 years and will obtain
                        an economic gain (difference between the  present value of debt service of the
                        refunding bonds and the Series 2007 Airport Revenue Refunding Bonds) estimated
                        to be approximately $1,496,970.

                        On December 22, 2010, the Authority issued the Birmingham Airport Authority
