Loans receivable maturing after June 30, 1995, in the amounts of $2,816,000 and $3,816,000, are not available
for current operations and accordingly, have been reflected as reservations of general fund balance and special
revenue fund balance, respectively. The special revenue reserved fund balance also includes $75,000,000 as of June
30, 1994 related to an intrafund loan from the Maryland Transportation Authority to the Maryland Department of
Transportation.
Portions of the general fund balance and the special revenue fund balance, in the amounts of $72,910,000 and
$40,093,000, respectively, as of June 30, 1994, representing special budgetary and nonbudgeted agency resources,
were reserved for agency activities and programs. A portion of the special revenue fund balance in the amount of
$25,468,000, is from revenues collected for airline passenger facility charges and has been reserved for special
development projects which must first be approved by the federal government.
A portion of the general fund balance, in the amount of $189,248,000 as of June 30,1994, has been reserved for
the State Reserve Fund. The State Reserve Fund is comprised of a Dedicated Purpose Account, an Economic
Development Opportunities Program Fund, a Catastrophic Event Fund and a Revenue Stabilization Account with
balances as of June 30, 1994, of $23,883,000, $575,000, $3,010,000 and $161,780,000, respectively. 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. The
Economic Development Opportunities Program Fund is to be used for extraordinary economic development
opportunities and only as a supplement to existing programs. The Catastrophic Event Fund is to be used to
respond without undue delay to a natural disaster or other catastrophic event that cannot be managed without
