After a promising start in January, most world markets turned weaker during the
three months ended April 30. The trigger was a reversal in U.S. monetary policy
when the Federal Reserve started to increase the fed funds rate in February for
the first time in five years. Although the Fed described its move as a normal
adjustment following a long period of monetary ease, bond markets took fright
and pulled equities down with them.  Not surprisingly, the sharpest reversals
came from the markets of Southeast Asia which looked overextended following
their phenomenal performance in 1993.  Given their closer monetary and economic
ties with the U.S., the markets of Latin America also corrected sharply.
European markets held up a little better and there was a sharp rally in Italy.
The most important exception to the generally weak market trend was Japan, where
the rise was due entirely to the upward move of the yen against the U.S.
currency.

     In the currency markets, the main feature was persistent weakness of the
dollar, which failed to react to an upward move in U.S. interest rates.  The yen
was the star performer as it resumed its all time high against the U.S.
currency,

but Continental European currencies were also generally firm.

     Given this adverse background, it was difficult for the International Stock
Fund to make further progress.  Its return was disappointing against the Morgan
Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia and Far East (EAFE) Index, which
benefited from its high weighting in Japan, but was marginally better than the
U.S. market's.

MARKET REVIEW

In the Pacific, the most important feature of the quarter was the beginning of a
more stable JAPANESE economy after a long period of recession.  Leading
indicators are more encouraging and, with a package of stimulatory measures now
passed, a modest recovery is likely as the year progresses.  Although prospects
are brighter, any recovery will be less robust than usual.

     The political scene continues to show rapid and unexpected change.  Despite
his popularity with the electorate, former Prime Minister Hosokawa found the
pressure of holding his coalition government together too demanding and resigned
in April.  His successor is finding the job equally difficult, especially when
the Socialist Party broke away from the coalition.

     Despite this political uncertainty, an economic recovery should soon be
under way and our positions in Japan focus on more cyclical stocks. Our bias
also continues to be on smaller companies which are more reasonably valued and
typically outperform as industrial production picks up.

     Elsewhere in the Pacific, the picture has been one of strong economic
performance but weak stock markets.  Typical has been HONG KONG where the
economy is growing but the stock market
<PAGE>
 
fell sharply from its highs in January.  With its currency linked directly to
the U.S. dollar, the interest rate hikes had a more direct impact on sentiment
in Hong Kong, particularly after the market's phenomenal rise at the end of
1993.

     Hong Kong is still considered to be the best "play" on the economic
renaissance in China itself.  We remain optimistic about the longer-term outlook
but, over the shorter term, there are signs of overheating in China's economy
and Hong Kong stocks will also remain sensitive to any further increases in U.S.
interest rates.

     Turning further south, the stock markets of MALAYSIA and SINGAPORE settled
down after their January falls and were broadly unchanged over the three months
under review.  Both economies are showing some of the highest economic growth
rates in the region and are less influenced by events in China itself.  In
Malaysia, the authorities introduced a number of measures to drain liquidity
from the system and reduce speculative activity.  The economic recovery is well
advanced but GDP growth is still expected to top 8% in 1994 and inflation
remains under control.

     In AUSTRALIA, the stock market was surprisingly resilient given the
weakness of the local bond market.  Improved commodity prices have helped
sentiment and there are signs the economy has stabilised.  We have increased our
positions in Australia and continue to be optimistic about NEW ZEALAND where the
economy continues to strengthen.  Economic growth forecasts were upgraded again
during the quarter, and inflation and government finance remain well under
control.  In addition, as an exporter of agricultural products, New Zealand is
well placed to benefit from the GATT agreement signed in December 1993.

     Turning to Europe, signs of economic recovery have started to appear, with
the UK staying ahead of the Continent.  In line with the U.S. experience, the
bond markets have been savaged but, with inflation well under control, we feel
interest rates can fall much further.  In GERMANY, signs of the economy
bottoming are now widespread although any recovery will be muted by recent tax
increases.  German money supply growth remains very high but wage settlements
have moderated and Mr. Tietmeyer, the new head of the Bundesbank, has continued
a policy of modest but steady reductions in short-term interest rates.  Helped
by this encouraging picture and the strength of the deutschemark, the German
market performed well in dollar terms during the quarter.

     In FRANCE, the economy continues to reflect the virtues of low inflation,
government finances in reasonable order, and an improving trade position.  Signs
of recovery are harder to find than in Germany which is perhaps why the French
stock market has been more subdued.  Mr. Balladur's quest for the presidency has
prompted a small shift towards more stimulatory policies and we have added to
cyclical stocks in the portfolio.

     In SWITZERLAND and in SCANDINAVIA, the focus has been on attractively
valued companies which will benefit from wider growth internationally as well as
a domestic recovery.

     The star of the European scene during the quarter was ITALY where the
success of Silvio Berlusconi's alliance in the recent elections has been greeted
enthusiastically by the stock market.  Perhaps it is too optimistic to hope that
the new government can break completely with Italy's bureaucratic and corrupt
past, but the prospect of tax cuts, privatisations and pro-business policies is
clearly encouraging.

     In the UK, the economy shows a picture of modest recovery, improving
government finances and inflation down to modest levels.  A range of small but
widespread tax increases came into force in April and there is hope that this
package will prevent the economy from racing away without extinguishing the
moderate recovery.  Given this background, it is difficult to understand why the
government bond market behaved so badly, but rising yields were quick to
undermine equities.  Our weighting in the UK is relatively low, and this market
has been a source of cash to finance ideas in other areas.

     Stock markets in Latin America were quick to feel the impact of a rise in
U.S. interest rates.  MEXICO weakened first and sentiment worsened with the
assassination of Mr. Colosio -- the preferred successor to President Salinas.
The replacement candidate, Mr. Zedillo, is expected to continue to advocate
Salinas-style policies, but the situation will remain volatile until the August
elections.

     In BRAZIL, attention has focused on the imminent introduction of the Unit
of Real Value (URV), which is the latest initiative to stem inflation by pegging
the exchange rate to the U.S. dollar.  Politics have affected sentiment here too
with socialist candidate Mr. Lula showing strongly in opinion polls.  We remain
confident that

Mr. Cardoso will win the elections in the autumn and be able to continue his
stabilisation plans.

INVESTMENT POLICY & OUTLOOK

For some time now the main thrust of our policy has been to have a little under
half the portfolio in Europe, a low relative weighting in Japan, countered by
significant positions in Southeast Asia.  From the beginning of this year, we
have begun a modest retreat from the Southeast Asian markets in order to rebuild
our weighting in Japan.  This shift in policy needs careful timing and, after
the steady performance in Tokyo and Southeast Asia's sharp correction, looks
less compelling at the moment.  In Europe, we have reduced our UK positions in
favour of Continental Europe and, following sharp declines, we are adding to our
holdings in Latin America.

     Given the exceptional performance of international equities last year, the
current pause is not surprising and we remain optimistic about the prospects for
investing overseas.  Despite the trend of rising U.S. interest rates, the German
central bank has continued to cut rates and this has been rapidly mirrored in
other European economies.  Both Japan and Europe are well behind the U.S. in the
economic cycle and can look forward to recovering economies and stable or
falling interest rates.  In Southeast Asia, the stock markets will remain
volatile but the economies will still provide the highest rates of economic
growth in the world and the stocks will continue to play their part in a well -
diversified international portfolio.

     World markets may back and fill for a little longer, but the International
Stock Fund remains fully invested, reflecting our confidence that the next major
move will be upward.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund / April 30, 1994 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the Corporation) is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940.  The International Stock Fund (the Fund), a
diversified, open-end management investment company, is one of the portfolios
established by the Corporation.

A) Valuation - Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities
exchange (including NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sales price at the
time the valuations are made.  A security which is listed or traded on more than
one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the
primary market for such security.  Other equity securities and those listed
securities that are not traded on a particular day are valued at a price within
the limits of the latest bid and asked prices deemed by the Board of Directors,
or by persons delegated by the Board, best to reflect fair value.

     Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and are
valued at a price deemed best to reflect fair value as quoted by dealers who
make markets in these securities or by an independent pricing service.  Short-
term debt securities are valued at their cost which, when combined with accrued
interest, approximates fair value.

     For purposes of determining the Fund's net asset value per share, all
assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted
into U.S. dollars at the mean of the bid and offer prices of such currencies
against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank.

     Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation procedures are
inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value
as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the officers of the
Fund, as authorized by the Board of Directors.

B) Affiliated Companies - Investments in companies 5% or more of whose
outstanding voting securities are held by the Fund are defined as "Affiliated
Companies" in Section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

C) Currency translation - Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S.
dollars at prevailing exchange rates as follows:  assets and liabilities at the
rate of exchange at the end of the respective period, purchases and sales of
securities and income and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
dates of such transactions.  The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on
realized and unrealized security gains or  losses is reflected as a component of
such gains or losses.

D) Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses are
reported on an identified cost basis. Dividend income and distributions to
shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.  Income and
capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Fund discontinued its practice of equalization.

NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As a part of its investment program, the Fund engages in the following
activities, the nature and risk of which are set forth more fully in the Fund's
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

A)  Emerging Markets - The Fund has investments in securities of companies
located in emerging markets.  Future economic or political developments could
adversely affect the liquidity or value, or both, of such securities.

B)  Forward Currency Exchange Contracts - At April 30, 1994, the Fund was a
party to various forward currency exchange contracts under which it is obligated
to exchange currencies at specified future dates.  Risks arise from the possible
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from
movements in currency values.  Outstanding contracts at April 30, 1994, are as
follows:

                                                                              13

</TABLE>

Net unrealized appreciation of $1,565,000 on these contracts at April 30, 1994,
is included in the accompanying financial statements, of which $3,098,000
relates to appreciated contracts and $1,533,000 to depreciated contracts.

C)  Securities Lending - To earn additional income, the Fund lends its
securities to approved brokers. At April 30, 1994, the market value of
securities on loan was $46,434,000, for which the Fund has received collateral
of $48,877,000, consisting of cash and U.S. Treasury securities.  Although the
risk is mitigated by the  collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in
recovering its securities and possibly experience a capital loss if the borrower
fails to return them.

D)  Other - Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term
and U.S. Government securities, aggregated $1,621,200,000 and $509,361,000.

NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Fund intends to
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its
taxable income.

     At April 30, 1994, the aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax
and financial reporting purposes was $4,521,726,000 and net unrealized
appreciation aggregated $693,524,000, of which $774,534,000 related to
appreciated investments and $81,010,000 to depreciated investments.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Fund is managed by Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. (Price-Fleming)
which is owned by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), Robert
Fleming Holdings Limited, and Jardine Fleming Holdings Limited under a joint
venture agreement.

     The investment management agreement between the Fund and Price-Fleming (the
Manager) provides for an annual investment management fee, computed daily and
paid monthly, consisting of an Individual Fund Fee equal to 0.35% of average
daily net assets and a Group Fee.  The Group Fee is based on the combined assets
of certain mutual funds sponsored by the Manager or Price Associates (the
Group).  The Group Fee rate ranges from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets
to 0.31% for assets in excess of $34 billion.  The effective annual Group Fee
rate at April 30, 1994, and for the six months then ended was 0.34%. The Fund
pays a pro rata portion of the Group Fee based on the ratio of the Fund's net
assets to those of the Group.

     During the six months ended April 30, 1994, the Fund, in the ordinary
course of business, paid commissions of $915,000 to, and placed security
purchase and sale orders aggregating $212,244,000 with, certain affiliates of
the Manager in connection with the execution of various portfolio transactions
at the direction of Price-Fleming.

     T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. (TRPS) and Retirement Plan Services, Inc.
(RPS) are wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates.  TRPS provides transfer
and dividend disbursing agent functions and shareholder services for all
accounts.  RPS provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain
retirement accounts invested in the Fund.  Price Associates, under a separate
agreement, calculates the daily share price and maintains the financial records
of the Fund.  The Fund is one of several T. Rowe Price mutual funds (the
Underlying Funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Growth Fund (Spectrum)
invests.  In accordance with an Agreement between

<PAGE>
 
Spectrum, the Underlying Funds, Price Associates and TRPS, expenses from the
operation of Spectrum are borne by the Underlying Funds based on each Underlying
Fund's proportionate share of assets owned by Spectrum.  For the six months
ended April 30, 1994, the Fund incurred fees totalling approximately $3,465,000
for these services provided by related parties.  At April 30, 1994, these
investment management and service fees payable were  $3,434,000.
