T. Rowe Price Tax-Exempt Money Fund
Notes to Financial Statements / August 31, 1994 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

T. Rowe Price Tax-Exempt Money Fund (the Fund) is registered under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management 
investment company.

A) Security valuation - Securities with more than 60 days remaining to 
maturity are stated at fair value which is determined by using a matrix 
system that establishes a value for each security based on money market 
yields.  Securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued 
at amortized cost.  

        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) Premiums and Discounts - Premiums on municipal securities are amortized 
for both financial and tax reporting purposes.  Discounts, other than 
original issue, are not amortized for financial reporting purposes.

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.  Distributions to shareholders are

<PAGE>
 
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.

NOTE 2 - 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 income.  The Fund has unused realized capital loss carryforwards for 
federal income tax purposes of $266,000 at February 28, 1994, which expire in 
1998.  Capital loss carryforwards utilized in the fiscal year ended February 
28, 1994 amounted to $1,171,000.  The Fund intends to retain gains realized 
in future periods that may be offset by available capital loss carryforwards.

        At August 31, 1994, the aggregate cost of investments for federal 
income tax and financial reporting purposes was $775,043,000 and net 
unrealized depreciation aggregated $186,000, of which $54,000 related to 
appreciated investments and $240,000 to depreciated investments.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The investment management agreement between the Fund and T. Rowe Price 
Associates, Inc. (the Manager) provides for an annual investment management 
fee, computed daily and paid monthly, consisting of an Individual Fund Fee 
equal to 0.10% 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 Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. (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 August 31, 
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.

        T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. (TRPS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Manager. TRPS provides transfer and dividend disbursing agent functions and
shareholder services for all accounts. The Manager, under a separate agreement,
calculates the daily share price and maintains the financial records of the
Fund. For the six months ended August 31, 1994, the Fund incurred fees totalling
approximately $330,000 for these services provided by related parties. At August
31, 1994, investment management and service fees payable were $370,000.

                                                                               9
