T. Rowe Price Spectrum Funds - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Certified Semiannual Report (Unaudited) June 30, 2004 Notes to Financial Statements - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T. Rowe Price Spectrum Fund, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a nondiversified, open-end management investment company. Spectrum Growth Fund, Spectrum Income Fund, and Spectrum International Fund (collectively, the Spectrum Funds) are three portfolios established by the corporation. Spectrum Growth and Spectrum Income commenced operations on June 29, 1990, and Spectrum International commenced operations on December 31, 1996. Each Spectrum Fund diversifies its assets within set limits among specific underlying T. Rowe Price funds (underlying Price funds). Spectrum Growth seeks long-term capital appreciation and growth of income, with current income a secondary objective. Spectrum Income seeks a high level of current income with moderate share price fluctuation. Spectrum International seeks long-term capital appreciation. Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates made by fund management. Valuation Each fund values its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Investments in the underlying Price funds are valued at their closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation. One of the underlying Price funds held by Spectrum International, the T. Rowe Price Japan Fund, is not open on certain days when Spectrum International is open. On such days, a net asset value per share is computed for the Japan Fund solely for purposes of valuing Spectrum International. The net asset value is computed in the normal manner using the most recent yen-denominated closing prices and exchange rates on the day of valuation. Investments for which these valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the funds' Board of Directors. Redemption Fees For Spectrum International, a 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held less than 90 days. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares and are paid to the fund. Redemption fees received by the fund are allocated to each underlying Price fund in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the fund. Accordingly, redemption fees have no effect on the net assets of the fund. Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income is recorded on the accrual basis. Income and capital gain distributions from the underlying Price funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Purchases and sales of the underlying Price funds are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to the Spectrum Funds' shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared by Spectrum Income on a daily basis and paid monthly. Income distributions are declared and paid by Spectrum Growth and Spectrum International on an annual basis. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid by each fund, typically on an annual basis. Other In the normal course of business, each fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. Each fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the fund in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote. Note 2 - Investments In Underlying Price Funds Purchases and sales of the underlying Price funds for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spectrum Spectrum Spectrum Growth Income International Purchases $ 59,052,000 $ 425,999,000 $ 15,650,000 Sales 24,944,000 54,935,000 4,794,000 Note 3 - Federal Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes is required since each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Federal income tax regulations differ from generally accepted accounting principles; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of June 30, 2004. For tax purposes, Spectrum Growth has elected to treat net capital losses realized between November 1 and December 31 of each year as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. Consequently, realized losses in the amount of $6,322,000 for Spectrum Growth that were recognized for financial reporting purposes in the year ended December 31, 2003, were recognized for tax purposes on January 1, 2004. Further, each fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2003, Spectrum Growth had $139,154,000 of unused capital loss carryforwards, of which $48,512,000 expire in 2010, and $90,642,000 expire in 2011. Spectrum International had $4,843,000 of unused capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 2003, of which $1,122,000 expire in 2009, $1,841,000 expire in 2010, and $1,880,000 expire in 2011. At June 30, 2004, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and net unrealized gain (loss) on investments was as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spectrum Spectrum Spectrum Growth Income International Cost $ 1,851,263,000 $ 3,810,365,000 $ 99,891,000 Unrealized appreciation $ 511,187,000 $ 212,932,000 $ 2,967,000 Unrealized depreciation -- (74,474,000) (10,411,000) Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $ 511,187,000 $ 138,458,000 $ (7,444,000) --------------------------------------------------------------- Note 4 - Related Parties T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., is the investment manager for Spectrum Growth and Spectrum Income, and also serves as manager for the domestic underlying Price funds. T. Rowe Price International, Inc. (Price International), a wholly owned subsidiary of Price Associates, is the investment manager for Spectrum International and also serves as manager for the international underlying Price funds. Pursuant to various service agreements, Price Associates and its wholly owned subsidiaries provide shareholder servicing and administrative, transfer and dividend disbursing, accounting, marketing, and certain other services to the Spectrum Funds. Certain officers and directors of the Spectrum Funds are also officers and directors of Price Associates and its subsidiaries, and of the underlying Price funds. The Spectrum Funds pay no management fees; however, Price Associates and Price International receive management fees from the underlying Price funds. The Spectrum Funds operate in accordance with the investment management and special servicing agreements between and among the corporation, the underlying Price funds, Price Associates, and, in the case of Spectrum International, Price International. Pursuant to these agreements, expenses associated with the operation of the Spectrum Funds are reimbursed by each underlying Price fund to the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the Spectrum Funds. Therefore, each Spectrum Fund operates at a zero expense ratio. However, each Spectrum Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the management fees and operating costs of the underlying Price funds in which it invests. The Spectrum Funds do not invest in the underlying Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the Spectrum Funds may represent a significant portion of an underlying Price fund's net assets. At June 30, 2004, Spectrum International Fund held less than 25% of the outstanding shares of any underlying Price fund; Spectrum Growth Fund held approximately 28.6% of the outstanding shares of the International Growth & Income Fund, and Spectrum Income Fund held approximately 43.1% of the outstanding shares of the International Bond Fund, 26.3% of the High Yield Fund, 37.4% of the GNMA Fund, 43.3% of the U.S. Treasury Long-Term Fund, 36.6% of the New Income Fund, and 35.2% of the Emerging Markets Bond Fund. Additionally, Spectrum Income is one of several mutual funds in which certain college savings plans managed by Price Associates may invest. Shareholder servicing costs associated with each college savings plan are allocated to Spectrum Income in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the college savings plan and, in turn, are borne by the underlying Price funds in accordance with the terms of the investment management and special servicing agreements. At June 30, 2004, approximately 7.9% of the outstanding shares of Spectrum Income were held by the college savings plans. T.
