The performance data quoted here represents past performance and past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information quoted. The most recent month end performance may be obtained by calling 1-855-551-5521.
 
*
Effective January 11, 2022, the North Square Advisory Research All Cap Value Fund changed names to the North Square Advisory Research Small Cap Value Fund.
**
Effective January 11, 2022, the Russell 2000 Value Total Return Index has replaced the Russell 3000 Value Total Return Index as the Fund’s primary benchmark as the Russell 2000 Value Total Return Index is more closely aligned with the Fund’s principal investment strategies and portfolio holdings.

The Fund acquired all assets and assumed the liabilities of the Advisory Research Small Cap Value Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) effective the close of business on February 21, 2020. The Predecessor Fund commenced investment operations on November 16, 2009. As a result of the reorganization, the Fund is the accounting successor of the Predecessor Fund. Performance results shown in the performance table above prior to February 21, 2020 reflect the performance of the Predecessor Fund.
 
Gross and net expense ratios for Class I shares were 1.63% and 0.95%, respectively, which were the amounts stated in the current prospectus dated February 28, 2022. For the Fund’s current one year expense ratios, please refer to the Financial Highlights section of this report. The Fund’s advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed 0.94% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class I shares. This agreement is in effect until February 28, 2023, and it may be terminated before that date only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. In the absence of such waivers, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.
 
Returns reflect the reinvestment of distributions made by the Fund, if any. The performance table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

North Square Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization
 
The North Square Advisory Research Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value” or “Small Cap Value Fund”), North Square Altrinsic International Equity Fund (“International Equity” or “International Equity Fund”), North Square McKee Bond Fund (“McKee Bond” or “McKee Bond Fund”), and North Square Strategic Income Fund (“Strategic Income” or “Strategic Income Fund”)(each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are organized as a series of the North Square Investments Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Funds are diversified funds.
 
The Small Cap Value Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Effective the close of business on February 21, 2020, the Small Cap Value Fund (the “Successor Fund”) acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Advisory Research Small Cap Value Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of Investment Managers Series Trust, which commenced operations on November 16, 2009.
 
The International Equity Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide long-term growth of capital. The Fund commenced operations on December 4, 2020.
 
The McKee Bond Fund’s primary investment objective is to maximize total return and generate consistent outperformance of the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index, with a high quality and highly liquid, well diversified portfolio through opportunistic, risk-controlled management. The Fund’s Class I share commenced operations on December 28, 2020 and Class Y share commenced operations on May 19, 2021. Effective on December 1, 2021, the outstanding Class Y shares of the McKee Bond Fund were renamed as Class I shares, and the previously outstanding Class I shares of the Fund were renamed as Class R6 shares. The ticker symbols of the renamed classes did not change.
 
The Strategic Income Fund’s primary investment objectives are to seek high current income and to seek long-term capital appreciation.  Effective the close of business on February 21, 2020, the Strategic Income Fund (the “Successor Fund”) acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Advisory Research Strategic Income Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of Investment Managers Series Trust, which commenced operations on December 31, 2012.
 
Note 2 – Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
(a)  Valuation of Investments
Each Fund values equity securities at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or in the principal over the counter (“OTC”) market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if the last-quoted sales price is not readily available, the securities will be valued at the last bid or the mean between the last available bid and ask price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Debt securities are valued by utilizing a price supplied by independent pricing service providers. The independent pricing service providers may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. If a price is not readily available for a portfolio security, the security will be valued at fair value (the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale) as determined in good faith by the Fund’s advisor, subject to review and approval by the Valuation Committee, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The actions of the Valuation Committee are subsequently reviewed by the Board at its next regularly scheduled board meeting. The Valuation Committee meets as needed.
 
Fair value pricing may be applied to foreign securities held by the Funds upon the occurrence of an event after the close of trading on non-U.S. markets but before the close of trading on the NYSE when each Fund’s NAV is determined. If the event may result in a material adjustment to the price of the Fund’s foreign securities once non-U.S. markets open on the following business day (such as, for example, a significant surge or decline in the U.S. market), the Fund may value such foreign securities at fair value, taking into account the effect of such event, in order to calculate the Fund’s NAV. Other types of portfolio securities that the Fund may fair value include, but are not limited to: (1) investments that are illiquid or traded infrequently, including “restricted” securities and private placements for which there is no public market; (2) investments for which, in the judgment of the advisor, the market price is stale; (3) securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; (4) securities for which trading has been halted or suspended; and (5) fixed income securities for which there is not a current market value quotation.
 
 
49

North Square Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued
April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

Foreign securities traded in countries outside the U.S. are fair valued by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service or from a brokerage firm. The pricing service or broker will use a statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indexes, securities and exchange rates in other markets in determining fair value as of the time the Fund calculates the NAVs. The Board reviews the independent third party fair valuation analysis report quarterly.
 
The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Funds’ performance.
 
(b)  Deposits with Broker
When trading derivative instruments, such as forward or futures contracts, the Funds are only required to post initial or variation margin with the exchange or clearing broker. The use of margin in trading these instruments has the effect of creating leverage, which can expose the Funds to substantial gains or losses occurring from relatively small price changes in the value of the underlying instrument and can increase the volatility of the Funds’ returns. Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns of an investment, where higher volatility generally indicates greater risk.
 
Upon entering into a futures contract (with the exception of futures contracts traded on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”)), and to maintain the Funds’ open positions in futures contracts, the Fund would be required to deposit with its custodian or futures broker in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, suitable money market instruments, or other liquid securities, known as “initial margin.” The margin required for a particular futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded, and may be significantly modified from time to time by the exchange during the term of the contract. Futures contracts are customarily purchased and sold on margins that may range upward from less than 5% of the value of the contract being traded.
 
At April 30, 2022, the Strategic Income Fund had $949,654 in cash and cash equivalents on deposit with brokers for futures.
 
(c)  Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Funds record a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts or premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to more than one fund are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund except where allocation of direct expenses to each fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately made.
 
(d)  Federal Income Taxes
Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Funds.
 
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (the “Income Tax Statement”) requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.
 

50

North Square Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued
April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Funds to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Funds’ current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the open years ended October 31, 2018-2021 the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examination in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
 
The Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
 
(e)  Distributions to Shareholders
The McKee Bond Fund and Strategic Income Fund will make distributions of net investment income monthly. The Advisory Research Small Cap Value Fund and Altrinsic International Equity Fund will make distributions of net investment income, if any, at least annually. Each Fund makes distributions of its net capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
 
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain (loss) items for financial statement and tax purposes.
 
Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
 
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with North Square Investments, LLC (the “Advisor” or “NSI”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Funds pay a monthly investment advisory fee to the Advisor based on each Fund’s average daily net assets. Fees paid to the Advisor for the period ended April 30, 2022 are reported on the Statements of Operations. The annual rates are listed by Fund in the below table:
 
Fund
Investment Advisory Fees
Small Cap Value Fund
0.70%
International Equity Fund
0.80%
McKee Bond Fund
0.24%
Strategic Income Fund
0.70%

The Advisor engages Advisory Research, Inc. to manage the Small Cap Value Fund, Altrinsic Global Advisors, LLC to manage the International Equity Fund, CSM Advisors, LLC to manage the McKee Bond Fund, and Red Cedar Investment Management, LLC to manage the Strategic Income Fund (each a “Sub Advisor” and collectively the “Sub Advisors”). The Advisor pays the Sub Advisors from its advisory fees.
 
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fee and, if necessary, to absorb other operating expenses to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, dividend and interest expenses on short sales, acquired fund fees and expenses as determined in accordance with Form N-1A, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) are limited. The agreements are effective until the dates listed below and may be terminated before those dates only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The table below contains the agreement expiration and expense cap by Fund and by Class:

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.
 
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended October 31, 2021, permanent differences in book and tax accounting have been reclassified to paid in capital, accumulated net investment income/loss and accumulated net realized gain/loss (total distributable earnings) as follows:

Note 7 – Indemnifications
 
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
 
Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
 
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or a liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.
 
Under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad Levels as described below:
 
 
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
     
 
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
     
 
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Futures contracts are carried at fair value using the primary exchange’s closing (settlement) price and are generally categorized in Level 1.
 
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
 
The inputs to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the Level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest Level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for a full listing of risks associated with these investments.
 
Note 10 – Accounting Regulations
 
Rule 18f-4
 
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”).  Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a Fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager.  Funds will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022.  It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives.  Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Fund(s).  When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how a Fund uses derivatives, adversely affect the Fund’s performance and increase costs related to the Fund’s use of derivatives.
 
Rule 2a-5
 
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”).  Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act.  Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions.  Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security.  In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments.  The Funds will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022.  Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Funds’ financial statements.
 
Rule 12d1-4
 
The SEC adopted new Rule 12d1-4, which will allow registered investment companies (including business development companies (“BDCs”), unit investment trusts (“UITs”), closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and exchange-traded managed funds (“ETMFs”) (an “acquiring” fund), to invest in other investment companies (an “acquired fund”), including private funds under a specific exception, beyond the limits of Section 12(d)(1), subject to the conditions of the rule. Rule 12d1-4 became effective January 19, 2022.
 
London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)
 
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates at the end of 2021, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. In addition, derivative contracts that qualified for hedge accounting prior to modification, will be allowed to continue to receive such treatment, even if critical terms change due to a change in the benchmark interest rate. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently assessing the impact of the ASU’s adoption to the Funds’ financial statements and various filings.
 
Note 11 – Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End
 
The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules regarding subsequent events which require an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. Management has evaluated the Funds’ related events and transactions that occurred through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION – Continued

Liquidity Risk Management Program
 
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), the North Square Investments Trust (the “Trust”) has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) for the funds within the Trust (the “Funds”). The Program seeks to assess and manage each Funds’ liquidity risk. “Liquidity risk” is defined under the Liquidity Rule as the risk that each Fund is unable to meet redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of the Funds’ investment adviser as the administrator for the Program (the “Trust Program Administrator”).
 
At its meeting on December 8-9, 2021, the Board received and reviewed a written report (the “Report”) from the Trust’s Vice President, on behalf of the Trust Program Administrator, concerning the operation of the Program for the period of October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021 (the “Period”). The Report noted that the Program complied with the key factors for consideration under the Liquidity Rule for assessing, managing and periodically reviewing a Fund’s liquidity risk, including the following: (1) the periodic assessment (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence each Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of the Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under the Liquidity Rule); (4) to the extent a Fund does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under the Liquidity Rule), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that generally will be invested in highly liquid investments (an “HLIM”); (5) if a Fund has established an HLIM, the periodic review (no less frequently than annually) of the HLIM and the adoption of policies and procedures for responding to a shortfall of the Fund’s highly liquid investments below its HLIM; and (6) periodic reporting to the Board.
 
The Report summarized the operation of the Program and the information and factors considered by the Trust Program Administrator in assessing whether the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to the Funds. The Report considered each Fund’s liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions using certain factors required by the Rule and the Program, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Trust Program Administrator. The Report stated that the Funds have retained ICE Data Services, a third-party vendor, to provide a liquidity risk classification specified by the Rule. The Report also noted that each Fund primarily held investments that were classified as highly liquid during the review period and that each Fund’s portfolio is expected to continue to primarily hold highly liquid investments. Thus, the Trust Program Administrator concluded in the Report that each Fund is considered a “primarily highly liquid fund” (as defined in the Rule and Program) and each Fund can therefore rely on the exclusion in the Rule from the requirements to establish an HLIM and to adopt policies and procedures for responding to a HLIM shortfall. There were no material changes to the Program during the Period.
 
Based on its review, the Report of the Trust Program Administrator concluded that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and has been and continues to be adequately and effectively implemented to monitor and, as applicable, respond to each Funds’ liquidity developments.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES
For the Six Months Ended April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period from November 1, 2021 to April 30, 2022.
 
Actual Expenses
The information in the row titled “Actual Performance” of the table below provides actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate row for your share class, in the column titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the row titled “Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)” of the table below provides hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the information in the row titled “Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
