Maturities of principal (amounts expressed in thousands) are as follows:
The serial bonds maturing after July 1, 1995 are subject to redemption, at the Authority's option,
beginning July 1, 1995. The redemption prices range, as a percentage of the principal amount, from 100% to
102%. The bonds maturing July 1, 2016 are subject to redemption, at the Authority's option, beginning July
1, 1995 at a redemption price of 100%. A portion of the bonds maturing on July 1, 2005, $22,480,000, are
subject to redemption beginning in 2001. A portion of the bonds maturing July 1, 2015, $97,870,000, are
subject to redemption beginning in 2006. The principal amortization requirements range from $4,930,000 to
$14,975,000 per year.
In compliance with the Trust Agreement dated December 1, 1985 underlying the Transportation
Facilities Projects Revenue Bonds, Series 1985, the Authority has established restricted accounts in the
aggregate amount of $161,460,000 for the payments of debt service related to the revenue bonds, major
maintenance, project requirements and improvements, betterments or enlargments or capital additions.
Assets consisting of cash and short-term investments, $6,357,000; investments, $171,797,000; less current
accounts payable, $22,908,000 have been restricted for such purposes.
In December 1985, the Authority placed in escrow $85,625,000 from the 1985 revenue bonds and
approximately $4,972,000 from other funds. These deposits were used to purchase U.S. Government
Securities with appropriate maturities such that the securities, together with interest accruing thereon, would
service the previously outstanding debt of $115,495,000, along with $3,500,000 of accrued interest, thereby
defeasing it. Accordingly, these escrow funds and the related liabilities for the refunded bonds are not
recorded in the financial statements. At June 30, 1987 the refunded bonds outstanding were $114,315,000.
In August 1981, the Authority entered into an agreement with the City of Baltimore to finance the non-
Federal share (approximately $78,000,000) plus related interest of approximately $31,000,000, associated
with the constuction of the Fort McHenry Tunnel. The Authority placed approximately $96,000,000 from the
1985 bond issuance into an escrow account to cover these costs and expects to recover its costs through future
net toll revenues of the tunnel.
