Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended June 30, 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Value Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Value Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund estimates the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and /or realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, market discount, partnerships, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end was as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 321,245 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | (74,104) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 247,141 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 2,737,798 | |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.
The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class's average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:
Service Class | $ 396 | | |
Service Class 2 | 2,071 | |
| $ 2,467 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees of the fund were equivalent to an annualized rate of .07% of average net assets.
For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:
Initial Class | $ 379 | | |
Service Class | 447 | |
Service Class 2 | 930 | |
| $ 1,756 | |
Value Portfolio
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $522 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Expense Reductions.
FMR agreed to reimburse the classes of the fund to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
Effective August 1, 2003, the expense limitations will be changed to 1.00%, 1.10% and 1.25%, for Initial Class, Service Class, and Service Class 2, respectively.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
| | |
Initial Class | 1.50% | $ 4,736 |
Service Class | 1.60% | 12,909 |
Service Class 2 | 1.75% | 27,099 |
| | $ 44,744 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $889 for the period.
7. Other Information.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 32% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and one unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 67% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
