Independent Auditors’ Report

The Unitholders and Wells Fargo Bank. N.A.:

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Wells Fargo Target Today CIT, Wells Fargo Target 2010 CIT, Wells Fargo Target 2015 CIT, Wells Fargo Target 2020 CIT, Wells Fargo Target 2025 CIT, Wells Fargo Target 2030 CIT, Wells Fargo Target 2035 CIT, Wells Fargo Target 2040 CIT, Wells Fargo Target 2045 CIT, Wells Fargo Target 2050 CIT, Wells Fargo Target 2055 CIT, and Wells Fargo Target 2060 CIT (collectively, “the Funds”), which comprise the statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and selected per unit data for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2016, and the results of their operations, changes in their net assets, and their selected per unit data for the year then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

KPMG LLP is a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U.S. member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity.

Other Matter

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The supplementary schedules of investments purchased and sold or redeemed are presented for purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Wells Fargo Target 2060 CIT

(1) Fund Descriptions

The Wells Fargo Bank Collective Investment Funds for Employee Benefit Trusts, identified above, (collectively the “Funds”, each a “Fund”) are established, operated, and maintained for the collective investment and reinvestment of monies contributed thereto by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the Trustee and Manager) or an affiliate of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee, investment manager, or any other capacity authorized by law for retirement plans (the participants) qualified under Section 401(a) and tax-exempt under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1986, as amended. Each Target Date Fund seeks total return over time, consistent with its strategic target date allocation. Each Fund will pursue its objective through investment in a combination of underlying collective investment funds (each an “Underlying Fund”). Each Underlying Fund will utilize equity index strategies, fixed income index strategies, and short-term investment strategies.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trustee in the preparation of the Funds’ financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the Wells Fargo Bank Declaration of Trust Establishing Investment Funds for Employee Benefit Trusts, as amended and restated effective September 30, 2016 (Trust Agreement). The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

(a) Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Fund Valuation

Valuation of the Funds’ units occurs daily. Unit values are determined by dividing the value of each Fund’s net assets by the total number of participants’ units outstanding on the valuation date.

(c) Valuation of Investments and Presentation

Investments held by the Funds consist of investments in underlying investment companies, which are fair valued at their respective daily net asset values.

Page 90: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Collective Investment Funds

WELLS FARGO BANK COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016

(d) Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of investments sold is computed on an average cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

(e) Distributions

The Funds do not distribute their investment income to participants, but rather reinvest their investment income back into their respective funds.

(f) Purchases and Redemptions of Units

Participants' purchases and redemptions of units from each Fund are based on unit values as of the valuation date. Purchase and redemptions of units may occur on a daily basis.

(g) Participants' Net Assets

Participants have a proportionate, undivided interest in the Funds' net assets.

(h) Income Taxes

The Funds maintain tax-exempt status by operating as a collective trust fund regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and as such no provision for income taxes is required. It is intended that the Funds be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code and qualify as a “group trust” under Revenue Ruling 81-100 and other applicable Internal Revenue Service rules and regulations. The Funds follow accounting policies under ASC 740, Income Taxes, regarding how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken in all potential open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, there are no positions which would call into question the Funds’ tax-exempt status. As such, the Funds do not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions. The Funds’ federal and state fiduciary and Federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired (open tax years: December 31, 2013; December 31, 2014; December 31, 2015; and December 31, 2016) are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state jurisdictions. As of and during the period ended December 31, 2016, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

(i) Expenses

In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trustee may charge the Funds for custody, accounting, audit fees and certain other expenses incurred. The Trust Investment Committee (the “Committee”) of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. reviews and determines the annual accounting fee charged to each Fund. The Committee also determines any expense cap with respect to fees charged to each Fund. Please refer to the Fund Disclosure Document for specific fund expense rates and any expense caps that may be in effect.

WELLS FARGO BANK COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016

The Funds may also incur indirect expenses (through their investment in Underlying Funds) for administration, audit, custodial and related services provided to the Underlying Funds. Indirect expenses from the Underlying Funds are netted against dividend income and included within investment income. The Trustee has agreed to bear all operating expenses in excess of a certain percent of the Funds' respective net assets ("net operating expense cap"). A Fund's investment management fee is not included in the operating expenses to which the net operating expense cap applies. The effects of this expense arrangement have been reflected in the Statements of Operations and Statements of Selected Per Unit Data.

(j) Target my RetirementSM Program Fees

The Target My RetirementSM program is a managed retirement solution that provides participants with professional investment advice, based on a personalized investment strategy. Wells Fargo has retained Morningstar Associates, LLC, as an independent financial expert to provide investment advice for the Target My RetirementSM program. Morningstar receives 0.065% for their investment advice and Wells Fargo receives 0.25% as program manager based on annualized net assets in the program. Expenses were charged to participant accounts adopting the program. Fees are accrued on a daily basis and TR unit values are net of program fees and expenses.

(k) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Trustee to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(l) Cash Overdrafts

The Funds may have overnight cash overdrafts. Cash overdrafts are funded by the Trustee and settled the next morning. No cash overdraft fees were assessed to the Funds for the year ended December 31, 2016.

(m) Regulatory Requirements

The Funds are collective investment funds authorized under the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s Regulation 9.18 (a)(2).

(n) Related Party Transactions

From time to time, the Funds may purchase securitizations originated by affiliates on the secondary market from unaffiliated broker/dealers in arm’s length transactions. The Funds may invest in other funds maintained by the Trustee, if provided for in the Funds’ Trust Agreement. The sub-advisors to the Funds may also invest in funds (“Underlying Funds”) which are affiliates of the sub-advisor. Affiliated sub-advisors to the Funds do not charge management fees to the Underlying Funds. The Underlying Funds will incur operating expenses, including fund accounting, audit, and other

8989

WELLS FARGO BANK COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016

administrative expenses. These Underlying Fund expenses will be in addition to the fees and expenses charged by Wells Fargo to the Funds.

(o) Credit Risk and Uncertainties

Investment securities in which the Funds invest are subject to various risks, such as market, credit, and interest rate risks. Due to the level of risk associated with such securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the near term could materially affect participants’ unit values and the amounts reported in the statements of assets and liabilities.

(p) Fair Value Hierarchy

The Funds are subject to the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820-10"), which among other things, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. In accordance with ASC 820-10, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment.

ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are follows:

Level 1: Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions regarding the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Valuations of the Funds' Investments in other collective funds (the “Underlying Funds”) are determined as follows:

WELLS FARGO BANK COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016

The unit value of an Underlying Fund is calculated by dividing such fund's net asset value on the calculation date by the number of units of such fund that are outstanding on the calculation date. The Fund has the ability to redeem its investment in the Underlying Fund at net asset value per unit at the valuation date. Accordingly, investments in Underlying Funds are classified as Level 2. The details of each Underlying Fund's investments into major categories are available upon request to the Plan Sponsor’s Relationship Manager. The following table presents the values of the financial instruments carried on the statement of assets and liabilities by caption and by level within the valuation hierarchy as of December 31, 2016. The breakdown of the Fund's investments into major categories is disclosed in its respective Schedule of Investments.
