Intergovernmental Expenditures:

Expenditures of general, special revenue and capital projects fund revenues designated for payment to
political subdivisions and bond proceeds granted to political subdivisions and other public organizations are
recorded as intergovernmental expenditures. Direct grants and other payments to, or on behalf of, political
subdivisions are recorded as current expenditures.

Capital Outlays:

Principally all capital expenditures for the acquisition or construction of State general fixed assets are
reported as capital outlays in the capital projects fund.

Reserved and Designated General Fund and Special Revenue Fund Balances:

Loans receivable maturing after June 30,1990, in the amounts of $4,295,000 are not available for current
operations; accordingly, the amount has been reflected as a reservation of general fund balance.

A portion of the general fund balance and the special revenue fund balance, in the amount of $138,578,000
and $2,612,000 respectively, at June 30, 1989, representing special budgetary and nonbudgeted agency
resources, was designated for agency activities and programs.

A portion of the general fund balance, in the amount of $210,279,000 at June 30,1989, has been designated
for the State Reserve Fund. The State Reserve Fund is comprised of a Dedicated Purpose Account, an
Economic Development Opportunities Program Fund and a Revenue Stabilization Account with balances of
$113,290,000, $5,000,000 and $91,989,000 respectively, at June 30, 1989. The Dedicated Purpose Account is
designed to retain appropriations for major multi-year expenditures and to meet contingency requirements.
The major use of the account has been the accumulation of reserves to meet the State's commitment to make
payments to insured account holders of certain State chartered savings and loans in receivership (see Note
15). The Economic Development Opportunities Program Fund is to be used for extraordinary economic
development opportunities and only as a supplement to existing programs. The Revenue Stabilization Account
is designed to retain State revenues for future needs and reduce the need for future tax increases.

A portion of the special revenue fund balance, in the amount of $19,889,000 at June 30, 1989, has been
designated for the Maryland Emergency Medical Services System, which was established to provide funds to
be used for the procurement of new helicopters and related equipment, ground support equipment and other
capital equipment related to the helicopters, and for equipment related to the Emergency Medical Services'
Communication System.
