NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Funds, Inc. (the corporation) is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Personal Strategy Growth Fund (the
fund), a diversified, open-end management investment company, is one of the
portfolios established by the corporation and commenced operations on July 29,
1994.
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.
Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and are
valued at a price deemed best to reflect fair value as quoted by dealers who
make markets in these securities or by an independent pricing service.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share
of the mutual fund on the day of valuation.
For purposes of determining the fund's net asset value per share, the U.S.
dollar value of all assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign
currencies is determined by using the mean of the bid and offer prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank.
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.
Currency Translation Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at
the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Purchases and
sales
31
<PAGE>
T. ROWE PRICE PERSONAL STRATEGY GROWTH FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the dates of such transactions. The effect of
changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and
losses is reflected as a component of such gains and losses.
Premiums and Discounts Premiums and discounts on debt securities, other than
mortgage-backed securities (MBS), are amortized for both financial reporting and
tax purposes. Premiums and discounts on all MBS are recognized upon disposition
or principal repayment as gain or loss for financial reporting purposes. For tax
purposes, premiums and discounts on MBS acquired on or before June 8, 1997, are
recognized upon disposition or principal repayment as ordinary income. For MBS
acquired after June 8, 1997, premiums are recognized as gain or loss; discounts
are recognized as gain or loss, except to the extent of accrued market discount.
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
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. Expenses paid indirectly reflect credits earned
on daily uninvested cash balances at the custodian, which 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.
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
32
<PAGE>
T. ROWE PRICE PERSONAL STRATEGY GROWTH FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
borrower fails to return them. At November 30, 1999, the value of loaned
securities was $20,300,000; aggregate collateral consisted of $21,132,000 in the
securities lending collateral pool and U.S. government securities valued at
$25,000.
Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $41,137,000 and $31,792,000, respectively, for the six
months ended November 30, 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.
At November 30, 1999, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes
was substantially the same as for financial reporting and totaled $205,821,000.
Net unrealized gain aggregated $30,766,000 at period-end, of which $46,014,000
related to appreciated investments and $15,248,000 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 $119,000 was payable at November 30, 1999. The fee is computed daily
and paid monthly, and consists of an individual fund fee equal to 0.30% 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 0.295% for assets in excess of $120 billion. At
November 30, 1999, and for the six months then ended, the effective annual group
fee rate was 0.32%. The fund pays a pro-rata share of the group fee based on the
ratio of its net assets to those of the group.
Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the manager is required
to bear any expenses through May 31, 2000, which would cause the fund's ratio of
total expenses to average net assets to exceed 1.10%. Thereafter, through
May 31, 2002, the fund is required to reimburse the manager for these
33
<PAGE>
T. ROWE PRICE PERSONAL STRATEGY GROWTH FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 1.10%. Pursuant to this agreement,
$24,000 of management fees were not accrued by the fund for the six months ended
November 30, 1999 and $77,000 remains unaccrued from a previous period.
Additionally, $287,000 of unaccrued management fees related to a previous
expense limitation are subject to reimbursement through May 31, 2000.
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 $412,000 for the six months
ended November 30, 1999, of which $80,000 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 six months ended November 30, 1999, totaled
$146,000 and are reflected as interest income in the accompanying Statement of
Operations.
During the six months ended November 30, 1999, the fund, in the ordinary course
of business, placed security purchase and sale orders aggregating $2,000 with
certain affiliates of the manager and paid commissions of $15 related thereto.
