The growth in municipal and member contributions during fiscal years 2004 and 2003 is due to increases in<br />

active membership as well as growth in annual payroll. City membership totaled 801, 794 and 774 at December<br />

31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.<br />

Net investment income is presented net of investment expenses and is comprised of interest, gains/(losses)<br />

from the sale of investments, net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in the fair value of investments, and net<br />

income from securities lending activities. The change in net investment income in 2004, 2003 and 2002 is primarily<br />

a result of the change in the net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in the fair value of investments<br />

during those periods ($574.3 million appreciation in 2004, $(463.7) million depreciation in 2003, and $807.7<br />

million appreciation in 2002). Due to the long average maturity of the <strong>TMRS</strong> investment portfolio, such fluctuation<br />

is attributed to a change in the level of long interest rates. Bond market prices are inversely affected by a<br />

change in interest rates and so increased in 2004 as long interest rates declined between December 31, 2003 and<br />

December 31, 2004.<br />
