NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(UNAUDITED)
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
--------------------------------
Reserve Institutional Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a nondiversified, open-end investment company. The
policies summarized below are consistently followed in the preparation of
its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
A. The Trust's authorized shares of beneficial interest are unlimited, and
currently are divided into four series: Primary Institutional, U.S.
Government Institutional, U.S. Treasury Institutional and Interstate
Tax-Exempt Institutional (collectively the "Funds"). Additionally, each Fund
is divided into four classes of shares with similar investment objectives,
but with different expense ratios.
B. Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
The amortized cost method values a security at cost at the time of purchase,
and thereafter assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any discount
or premium, irrespective of intervening changes in interest rates or market
values. Pursuant to Rule 2a-7, for the purpose of computing the
average-weighted life to maturity, floating or variable rate instruments, in
which the Fund may invest, will be deemed to be: (1) the notice period
required before the Fund is entitled to receive payment of principal or, (2)
the period remaining until the instrument's next interest rate adjustment.
C. It is the Trust's policy to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Accordingly, no Federal income tax provision is required.
D. Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis; interest income
is accrued daily and security premium or discount is amortized or accreted
daily.
E. The Trust's custodian holds the securities owned subject to repurchase
agreements. The Trust's investment adviser determines that the resale amount
of the repurchase agreement is fully collateralized.
F. Net investment income is distributed to shareholders daily and
automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares.
G. Expenses are allocated based on a Fund's net assets or number of
shareholder accounts. Those expenses recognized as directly attributable to
a specific Fund are charged to that Fund directly.
H. The Trusts may enter into repurchase agreements with financial
institutions and securities dealers who are deemed credit-worthy pursuant to
guidelines established by the Funds' Board of Trustees. The Funds'
Investment Adviser will follow procedures intended to provide that all
repurchase agreements are at least 100% collateralized as to principal and
interest. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the seller,
realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.
(2) MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
--------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement (the "Agreement") between
Reserve Management Company, Inc. ("RMCI") and the Funds, RMCI serves as the
Funds' Investment Adviser subject to the direction of the Board of Trustees.
Under the Agreement, RMCI is responsible for the supervision of the
day-to-day operations of each Fund. RMCI manages the Fund's investments,
effects purchases and sales thereof, and absorbs certain promotional
expenses. For its services as Investment Adviser, RMCI charges each Class a
comprehensive management fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets.
Each Fund's operating expenses is limited to an annual rate of .25% for
Class A, .45% for Class B and .60% for Treasurer's Trust of each Class'
average daily net assets. The operating expense limitation does not include
brokerage fees and commissions, interest charges, taxes and extraordinary
legal fees and expenses. During the six months ended November 30, 1998, RMCI
voluntarily waived $2,252 of Treasurer's Trust total expenses.
DISTRIBUTION ASSISTANCE AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICE
------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to a Plan of Distribution, each Fund makes payments to firms for
distribution assistance and administrative services provided to shareholders
of Class C and D at an annual rate of .25% and .50%, respectively. No
payments have been made since, to date, both Class C and D have not begun
operations. Under the Plan, shareholders of Class B, C and D may make
payments to firms (including RMCI) providing shareholder service, including
maintaining shareholder accounts, responding to shareholder inquiries and
providing certain other services.
(3) MANAGEMENT'S USE OF ESTIMATES:
----------------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
