SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SBA Form 1050, Settlement Sheet is used in 
SBA's 7(a) Loan Program to collect information from lenders and 
borrowers regarding the disbursement of loan proceeds. SBA relies on 
this information during the guaranty purchase review process as a 
component in determining whether to honor a loan guaranty. The current 
form includes 1050 Settlement Sheet instructions for the lender. The 
currently approved form primarily requires the lender and borrower to 
certify to whether they complied with a series of loan requirements. 
The current form also requires submission of documentation (e.g., joint 
payee or cancelled checks, invoices or paid receipts, and wire transfer 
records) in support of the certification. SBA has determined that the 
section for ``Authorized Use of Proceeds'' does not include in the 
Settlement Sheet all the categories for'' Use of Proceeds'' this 
addition to the 1050 Settlement Sheet would enable the agency to 
effectively monitor compliance with loan disbursement procedures and 
will align with the ``Use of Proceeds'' categories for 7(a) loans. As a 
result, SBA is proposing to change both the content and format of the 
Form 1050.
    The form will be divided into several sections to clearly identify 
the information to be submitted. The revised form will continue to 
collect the same basic identifying information such as loan amount, 
loan number and lender's name. In addition, the form will continue to 
require certifications from both the lender and borrower regarding 
compliance with the disbursement requirements and accuracy of 
information submitted. In the section for ``Authorized Use of 
Proceeds,'' the revised 1050 Settlement Sheet will include ``Land 
Acquisitions with or without improvements'', ``Leasehold Improvements 
to property owned by applicant or owned by others'', ``Export Working 
Capital (EWCP or Export Express)'', ``Support Standby Letter of Credit 
(EWCP or Export Express)'', Refinance Existing (EWCP) or Export LOC 
(EWCP)'', ``Business Acquisition/Change of Ownership'', ``Pay off SBA 
Loan, SID or Other Lender'', '' Pay Notes Payable, SID or Other 
Lender'', ``Pay Accounts Payable.'' These changes will allow the lender 
to document all the sources and uses of funds at the time of loan 
closing more clearly. This additional information will better allow 
both lenders and SBA staff to ensure that the necessary information is 
collected at the time of loan origination.
