FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS

After strong equity market performance in 1993, investor euphoria began to
evaporate in early 1994. The prospect of inflationary pressures from an
accelerating U.S. economy sent shivers through world financial markets, and
stocks of international smaller companies were unable to withstand the
downdraft. Markets that had excelled in the last quarter of 1993 experienced the
sharpest pullback, notably Hong Kong, Mexico, and Argentina. In contrast, good
performance over the quarter came from Japan, Italy, and Scandinavia.

     The relative return on your portfolio was affected by the underweighting in
Japan and by the overweightings in Southeast Asia and Latin America. In Europe,
smaller companies made a positive contribution but it was not enough to
compensate for the shortfall elsewhere.

MARKET REVIEW

SOUTHEAST ASIA

Asian stock markets led the decline in world equity markets in the first quarter
of the year, with falls of 20%-30% from the highs of the prior quarter.
Nevertheless, the markets at the end of April were still above the levels
prevailing when the buying madness took hold last October. We believe investors
who jumped on the performance bandwagon have largely been shaken out of Asian
markets. Fundamental investors are returning, attracted by continued high
earnings growth and valuations which are again more reasonable.

     Unlike governments elsewhere, MALAYSIAN authorities took an active role in
deflating the 1993 mini-bubble. The current and former finance ministers both
warned against excessive speculation early in January, stating by way of example
that they had sold most of their personal stock holdings and that anyone who was
still very active in the market was a fool! The bank reserve requirement, in a
dramatic policy move, was raised to drain liquidity from the system, and
measures were taken to freeze foreign inflows. Brokers faced stricter limits on
individual trading activity.

     The authorities' purpose was to prevent speculation from getting out of
hand and diverting corporate and individual resources from the more important
task of nation building. The latter will continue quite aggressively in 1994,
with GNP growth expected again to top 8% and inflation still relatively subdued.
However, the Malaysian recovery is well advanced, labour shortages are
worsening, and last year's record trade surplus is eroding. More worrisome,
however, are the huge financings planned by companies to pay for ambitious
infrastructure projects, which will cap the market's upside.

     Last quarter's "maximum bullishness" turned to profit-taking and renewed
awareness of HONG KONG's risks. China's economy is definitely overheating.
Dissident arrests have more to do with forestalling another Tiananmen Square
economic protest than with thumbing Beijing's nose at the U.S. The U.S. will
most likely renew China's most favored nation trade status, but with conditions
and after greater debate than last year. Meanwhile, Hong Kong's democracy talks
between China and the UK have completely broken down, causing China to delay
approval for the two major infrastructure projects critical to Hong Kong's long-
term growth -- the new airport and the container terminal. Finally, Hong Kong
authorities have awakened to the territory's property bubble, promising measures
by mid-summer to deflate it gradually.

     Of the various risks, only Chinese economic overheating truly worries us. A
hard landing for that economy now seems increasingly like-
<PAGE>
 
ly, which will keep further foreign buying of Hong Kong stocks at bay for 1994.
Over the quarter, we eliminated our position in PROD-ART TECHNOLOGY, whose pager
sales are plummeting with China's new austerity program. GROUP SENSE'S
electronic dictionary sales are similarly stalling, so this stock was sold out.
We took good profits on luxury retailer JOYCE when the stock price surged as its
earnings turnaround became apparent. We added HARBOUR RING, a toy manufacturer
geared to the U.S. recovery, and WING SHAN, an inexpensive power utility in
southern China.

     SINGAPORE stock prices fell only a little, but they had also risen less in
November and December. During the April quarter, we cut our major interest-
sensitive holdings, as rising rates and lower stockbroking profits may lead to
future disappointments. The proceeds have been redeployed into commercial
property and hotels, as Singapore is finally realising its promise as a regional
business center.  With commercial rents 20% of those in Hong Kong, we foresee a
steady catch-up. Our overall weighting in Singapore has fallen, however, as we
can find better values elsewhere.

     We have used profits from the above markets to increase our weightings in
Australia and New Zealand. These markets did not run up to speculative peaks
last year, the economies are just starting to recover, and inflation rates are
still falling. Finally, if the U.S. recovery is joined next year by Europe and
Japan, Australia and New Zealand should benefit from higher commodity prices.

     The AUSTRALIAN market was resilient considering the hammering taken by the
bond market.  Renewed interest in commodities provided good support for the
currency. We are increasingly enthusiastic about economic developments in
Australia and are forecasting sustainable, low-inflation economic growth.
Exports of manufactured goods are picking up and should provide support for the
current account, which in the past has been a main constraint on growth. Over
the quarter we added WESGO, a media stock with excellent potential in an
economic pickup.

     Economic fundamentals in NEW ZEALAND continue to strengthen. During the
quarter, growth forecasts were upgraded once more, inflation remained negligible
and fiscal balance forecasts improved substantially. To add icing to the cake,
as an exporter of agricultural products, New Zealand stands to gain more than
virtually any other nation from the GATT agreement signed in December 1993. We
added SKELLERUP, STEEL & TUBE and Ports of Auckland, all highly leveraged to
economic recovery.

     It is difficult to say that the Japanese economy is improving, as many
year-on-year comparisons remain in negative territory. It now appears that the
recession bottomed in mid-1993, but a genuine recovery will probably not be
evident until the summer of 1994. On the positive side, housing has been the
first area to improve and its growth has started to feed through into other
areas. Electrical appliance and furniture sales have also begun to improve as
people equip their new houses.  Spending remains very value conscious with
discount operators doing well at the expense of high-priced department stores.
Our company visits continue to reveal a trading down by the consumer whether for
new kitchens or sporting goods. The leading indicators rose in January to a
point which prompted the first comment from the governor of the Bank of Japan,
Mr. Mieno, to the effect that the economy was at last improving.

<PAGE>
 
     As with the economy, the political situation in Japan also remains fragile.
The coalition government of former Prime Minister Hosokawa succeeded at the
eleventh hour in finally passing its electoral reform package. This represents
the largest constitutional change since General MacArthur left Japan nearly 50
years ago. Partly single-member constituencies and partly proportional
representation is likely to alter Japan's political landscape radically. The
most likely outcome is that a two-party system will eventually develop, with
consumer-oriented policies becoming far more prevalent. This is likely to favour
lower prices, deregulation, and a more statesmanlike role for Japan in world
affairs. Over the longer term this has to be good for Japan's development, but
in the meantime the ruling coalition remains weak and further political
reshuffling is likely.  The new, tough approach of the Clinton Administration is
adding to internal pressures.

     In sum, the environment for small companies continues to improve slowly.
With recent bond market weakness and an improvement in industrial production,
the classic requirements for small-company outperformance are now in place.
Against this backdrop we continue to increase your Fund's weighting in stocks of
more economically sensitive companies. We sold out almost entirely of public
work stocks as the era of countercyclical pump priming appears to be close to
over. We also reduced positions in homebuilder Higashi Nihon House, and in
housing materials as the housing story becomes increasingly mature. The main
absorbers of this cash have been electricals and services. In electronic
components the order picture continues to pick up sharply based on a vibrant
U.S. market and a domestic turnaround. We have added to positions in Nichicon
and Sanken. With growth in the telecom and PC end-user market as well as the
longer-term potential of multi-media applications, component stocks should
continue to do well. In services we have added a position in Asatsu, an
advertising agency. With advertising spending again showing signs of life and
Asatsu gaining market share from its old-fashioned competitors, the company
should do well. The thrust of the Fund will continue to move towards these kind
of stocks as signs of an economic recovery are increasingly confirmed.

EUROPE

Smaller companies started the quarter with a surge of investor interest in
February, but could not withstand the sharp sell-off in global bond markets in
March.

     In Germanic Europe, higher capital equipment orders, improving industrial
production, and better retail sales figures suggest that the worst of the
recession is behind us. Your portfolio remains oriented toward growth
opportunities in Central Europe such as the German house builder Kampa Hause
which is experiencing strong demand, the Swiss retailer Porst, and the Polish
construction group Mostostal. The delay in lowering interest rates in Germany
means that the rebound in corporate earnings will lag the rest of Europe. Our
holdings continue to focus on special situations, the largest of which is
economic reconstruction in the east.

     The strongest signs of economic recovery continue to come from Scandinavia
and the UK. In Scandinavia, the Swedish economy is picking up, with corporate
and consumer optimism more evident. Job advertising is up more than 100% over
the first quarter of last year and the consumer is starting to spend once more;
Volvo auto sales were up by 80% in the first quarter this year. Real estate
prices are recovering. Although the strength was initially focused in the export
industries, it has broadened into the domestic economy, boosting government
revenues and reducing the threat of national bankruptcy. In Norway, the domestic
economy is now growing quite strongly and we have focused on stocks such as Liva
Bil, a car rental company, and Veidekke, a construction company. We have also
been adding to our shipping exposure with companies such as ICB in Sweden and
Smedvig Tankships in Norway as a way to benefit when world trade revives.

     In the UK, small companies have performed steadily in contrast to the main
market which has suffered under a cloud of economic and political worries.
Despite the tax increases due in April, economic momentum appears to be
sustainable and will continue to benefit

                                                                             3

smaller companies. The problem is that the small-company universe is no longer
looking cheap, selling at more than a 20% premium to the main market.

LATIN AMERICA

In Mexico, the happy memory of the fourth quarter of 1993 was erased by the New
Year uprising of Zapatista peasants in Chiapas. Although the government
responded swiftly to negotiate a peace settlement, the uprising highlighted that
economic reforms have failed to benefit the poor and that democratic processes
need to be strengthened. The nomination by President Salinas of Donaldo Colosio
as the PRI's candidate for the August presidential elections was followed a
month later by Colosio's assassination while campaigning. Rumours that this
shocking event was a conspiracy by his opponents within the PRI have continued
to cause uncertainty despite the nomination of Ernesto Zedillo, Colosio's
campaign manager, as the new presidential candidate.

     The Argentinian economy continues on its course of rehabilitation with a
combination of strong GDP growth and very low inflation. We took advantage of
the market weakness to start a holding in the food producer Molinos which is
being turned around by new management. We have bought a position in Colorin, the
paint company that has become an associate of Corimon, a well-managed Venezuelan
building materials group.

INVESTMENT POLICY & OUTLOOK

Despite the market shakeout, we remain optimistic about prospects for small
companies in most parts of the world. As bond markets suffer and industrial
production picks up, smaller companies should fare well. Whereas 1993's
outperformance came largely from successful country weightings, we hope that
1994 will see the small-company effort make a positive contribution.

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

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the Corporation) is registered under
the Invest-ment Company Act of 1940.  The International Discovery 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) 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.

C) 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)  Other - Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term
and U.S. Government securities, aggregated $207,816,000 and $113,420,000.

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.  The Fund has unused realized capital loss carryforwards for
federal income tax purposes of $10,670,000 at October 31, 1993, which expire
through 2000.


                                                                            17
<PAGE>
 
     At April 30, 1994, the aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax
and financial reporting purposes was $408,876,000 and net unrealized
appreciation aggregated $44,764,000, of which $68,010,000 related to appreciated
investments and $23,246,000 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 0.75% 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.

     Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the Manager was
required to bear any expenses through December 31, 1993, which would have caused
the Fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 1.50%.  Thereafter,
the Fund is required to reimburse the Manager for these expenses, provided
average net assets have grown or expenses have declined sufficiently so as not
to cause the Fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 1.50% in
any month, and that no such reimbursement shall be made to the Manager after
December 31, 1995.  Pursuant to this and a previous agreement, $18,000 of
unaccrued 1991-1992 fees were repaid during the six months ended April 30, 1994,
and $528,000 remains subject to reimbursement through December 31, 1994.
Additionally, $85,000 of unaccrued management fees from the ten months ended
October 31, 1993 are subject to reimbursement through December 31, 1995.

     During the six months ended April 30, 1994, the Fund, in the ordinary
course of business, paid commissions of $200,000 to, and placed security
purchase and sale orders aggregating $32,981,000 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.  For the six months ended April 30, 1994, the Fund incurred fees
totalling approximately $472,000 for these services provided by related parties.
At April 30, 1994, these investment management and service fees payable were
$480,000.
