1. Significant Accounting Policies The Company was organized as a Delaware
business trust on August 16, 1993 and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. On
November 4, 1993, Lord Abbett Investment Trust - Limited Duration U.S.
Government Securities Series commenced operations when the Company received an
initial capital contribution of $100,000 and issued 20,619 shares of the
Government Series to the partners of Lord, Abbett & Co. On December 22, 1994,
Lord Abbett Investment Trust - Balanced Series received an initial capital
contribution of $1,000 and issued 105 shares of the Balanced Series to the
partners of Lord, Abbett & Co. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Company. The policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
(a) Market value is determined as follows: Securities listed or admitted to
trading privileges on any securities exchange are valued at the last sales price
on the exchange on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business
on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the latest
price on the basis of current quotations from dealers (as in the case of bonds),
from valuations furnished by an independent pricing service or, in their
absence, fair value as determined under procedures approved by the Board of
Trustees.
(b) It is the policy of the Company to meet the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all
of its taxable income in taxable distributions. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required.
(c) Security transactions are accounted for on the date that the securities are
purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest is recorded on
the accrual basis. Discounts on strips are accrued to maturity using the
constant yield method. The Company has elected not to amortize premiums on U.S.
Government bonds, which is consistent with the treatment for federal income tax
purposes.
(d) With respect to the the Balanced Series, a portion of the proceeds from
sales and costs of repurchases of shares, equivalent to the amount of
distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited
or charged to undistributed income. Undistributed net investment income per
share thus is unaffected by sales or repurchases of shares.
(e) The organization expenses of each Series of the Company are amortized evenly
over a period of five years, from their respective commencements of operations.
2. Distributions Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and
paid monthly with respect to the Limited Duration U.S. Government Securities
Series and declared quarterly and paid monthly with respect to the Balanced
Series. Taxable net realized gain from security transactions, if any, will be
distributed to shareholders in December 1995. At April 30, 1995, accumulated net
realized gains (losses) for financial statement purposes aggregated $(834,087)
for the Limited Duration U.S. Government Securities Series and $25,798 for the
Balanced Series.
Income and capital distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from methods used to determine the corresponding
income and capital gains amounts in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
