T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Insured Intermediate Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements / August 31, 1994 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Insured Intermediate Bond Fund (the Fund) is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified,
open-end management investment company.
A) Security valuation - Debt securities are generally traded in the
over-the-counter market. Investments in securities with remaining maturities
of one year or more are stated at fair value as furnished by dealers who make
markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service, which
considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity,
and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such
securities. Securities with remaining maturities less than one year are
stated at fair value which is determined by using a matrix system that
establishes a value for each security based on money market yields.
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.
B) Premiums and Discounts - Premiums on municipal securities are amortized
for both financial and tax reporting purposes. Discounts, other than
original issue, are not amortized for financial reporting purposes.
C) 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 an identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are
recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Payments ("variation margin") made or received by the Fund, dependent on the
daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts, are recorded as
unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed.
NOTE 2 - PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $74,303,000 and $75,367,000, respectively, for the six
months ended August 31, 1994.
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 income.
At August 31, 1994, the aggregate cost of investments for federal
income tax and financial reporting purposes was $91,657,000 and net
unrealized appreciation aggregated $398,000, of which $693,000 related to
appreciated investments and $295,000 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, computed daily and paid monthly, consisting of an Individual Fund Fee
equal to 0.05% of average daily net assets and a Group Fee. The Group Fee is
based on the combined assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by the Manager
or Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. (the Group). The Group Fee rate
ranges from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.31% for assets in
excess of $34 billion. The effective annual Group Fee rate at August 31,
1994, and for the six months then ended was 0.34%. The Fund pays a pro rata
portion of the Group Fee based on the ratio of the Fund's net assets to those
of the Group.
Under the terms of the investment agreement, the Manager is required
to bear any expenses through February 29, 1996, which
9
<PAGE>
T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Insured Intermediate Bond Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
would cause the Fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 0.65%.
Thereafter, the Fund is required to reimburse the Manager for these expenses,
provided that average net assets have grown or expenses have declined
sufficiently so as to cause the Fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets
not to exceed 0.65% in any month, and that no such reimbursement shall be made
to the Manager after February 28, 1998. Pursuant to this agreement, $77,000 of
management fees were not accrued for the six months ended August 31, 1994.
Additionally, $228,000 of unaccrued management fees from the prior period are
subject to reimbursement through February 29, 1996.
T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. (TRPS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Manager. TRPS provides transfer and dividend disbursing agent functions
and shareholder services for all accounts. The Manager, under a separate
agreement, calculates the daily share price and maintains the financial
records of the Fund. For the six months ended August 31, 1994, the Fund
incurred fees totalling approximately $89,000 for these services provided by
related parties. At August 31, 1994, investment management and service fees
payable were $43,000.
