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
<PAGE>
T. ROWE PRICE EQUITY INDEX 500 FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Undistributed net realized gain $(11,401,000)
Paid-in-capital 11,401,000
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.

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.
