NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     T. Rowe Price Index Trust, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the
     Investment Company Act of 1940. The Equity Index 500 Fund (the fund), a
     diversified, open-end management investment company, is one of the
     portfolios established by the corporation and commenced operations on March
     30, 1990.

     The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles for the investment company
     industry; these principles may require the use of estimates by fund
     management.

     Valuation Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
     exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the day the
     valuations are made. A security which is listed or traded on more than one
     exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the
     primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a
     particular day and securities regularly traded in the over-the-counter
     market are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. Other
     equity securities are valued at a price within the limits of the latest bid
     and asked prices deemed by the Board of Directors, or by persons delegated
     by the Board, best to reflect fair value.

     Short-term debt securities are valued at amortized cost which, when
     combined with accrued interest, approximates fair value.

     Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per
     share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation. Financial futures
     contracts are valued at closing settlement prices.

     Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation procedures are
     inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair
     value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the
     officers of the fund, as authorized by the Board of Directors.

     Premiums and Discounts Premiums and discounts on debt securities are
     amortized for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

     Other Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment
     transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses
     are reported on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and
     distributions to shareholders are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend
     date. Income and

     24

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



     capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income
     tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles. Payments ("variation margin")
     made or received by the fund to settle the daily fluctuations in the value
     of futures contracts are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the
     contracts are closed. Unrealized gains and losses on futures are included
     in Change in net unrealized gain or loss in the accompanying financial
     statements. Expenses paid indirectly reflect credits earned on daily
     uninvested cash balances at the custodian and are used to reduce the fund's
     custody charges.


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

     Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following
     practices to manage exposure to certain risks or enhance performance. The
     investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are
     described more fully in the fund's prospectus and Statement of Additional
     Information.

     Futures Contracts At December 31, 1999, the fund was a party to futures
     contracts, which provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by
     another of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument at an
     agreed upon price, date, time, and place. Risks arise from possible
     illiquidity of the futures market and from movements in security values.

     Securities Lending The fund lends its securities to approved brokers to
     earn additional income and receives cash and U.S. government securities as
     collateral against the loans. Cash collateral received is invested in a
     money market pooled account by the fund's lending agent. Collateral is
     maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than 100% of the
     value of loaned securities. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral,
     the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and a
     possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. At
     December 31, 1999, the value of loaned securities was $131,030,000;
     aggregate collateral consisted of $133,222,000 in the securities lending
     collateral pool.

     Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term
     securities, aggregated $1,123,681,000 and $216,617,000, respectively, for
     the year ended December 31, 1999.

NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to
     continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of
     its taxable income.

     In order for the fund's capital accounts and distributions to shareholders
     to reflect the tax character of certain transactions, primarily redemptions
     in kind, the following reclassifications were made during the year ended
     December 31, 1999. The results of operations and net assets were not
     affected by the increases/(decreases) to these accounts.

     At December 31, 1999, the cost of investments for federal income tax
     purposes was substantially the same as for financial reporting and totaled
     $3,245,878,000. Net unrealized gain aggregated $1,813,027,000 at period-
     end, of which $1,974,199,000 related to appreciated investments and
     $161,172,000 to depreciated investments.



NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The investment management agreement between the fund and T. Rowe Price
     Associates, Inc. (the manager) provides for an annual investment management
     fee, of which $1,235,000 was payable at December 31, 1999. The fee is
     computed daily and paid monthly. Through year end, the fee was equal to
     0.20% of the fund's average daily net assets. Effective January 1, 2000,
     the fee rate was reduced from 0.20% to 0.15%, by vote of the fund's board
     of directors.

     Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the manager is
     required to bear any expenses through December 31, 1999, which would cause
     the fund's ratio of total expenses to average net assets to exceed 0.40%.
     Thereafter, through December 31, 2001, the fund is required to reimburse
     the manager for these expenses, provided that average net assets have grown
     or expenses have declined sufficiently to allow reimbursement without
     causing the fund's ratio of total expenses to average net assets to exceed
     0.40%. Pursuant to this agreement, $317,000 of management fees were not
     accrued by the fund for the year ended December 31, 1999, and $955,000
     remains unaccrued from prior periods.

     In addition, the fund has entered into agreements with the manager and two
     wholly owned subsidiaries of the manager, pursuant to which the fund
     receives certain other services. The manager computes the daily share price
     and maintains the financial records of the fund. T. Rowe Price Services,
     Inc. is the fund's transfer and dividend disbursing agent and provides
     shareholder and administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price
     Retirement Plan Services, Inc. provides subaccounting and recordkeeping
     services for certain retirement accounts invested in the fund. The fund
     incurred expenses pursuant to these related party agreements totaling
     approximately $6,896,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, of which
     $649,000 was payable at period-end.

     The fund may invest in the Reserve Investment Fund and Government Reserve
     Investment Fund (collectively, the Reserve Funds), open-end management
     investment companies managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. The Reserve
     Funds are offered as cash management options only to mutual funds and other
     accounts managed by T. Rowe Price and its affiliates and are not available
     to the public. The Reserve Funds pay no investment management fees.
     Distributions from the Reserve Funds to the fund for the year ended
     December 31, 1999, totaled $4,186,000 and are reflected as interest income
     in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price Index Trust, Inc. and
Shareholders of T. Rowe Price Equity Index 500 Fund

     In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related
     statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
     highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
     of T. Rowe Price Equity Index 500 Fund (one of the portfolios comprising T.
     Rowe Price Index Trust, Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at
     December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations, the changes in its
     net assets and the financial highlights for each of the fiscal periods
     presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
     the United States. These financial statements and financial highlights
     (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of
     the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
     financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
     financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
     accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and perform the
     audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
     are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
     basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
     statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
     estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
     statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
     confirmation of securities at December 31, 1999 by correspondence with the
     custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
     above.
