PART I.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) serve as
investment adviser to the T. Rowe Price Mutual Funds (the Price Funds), other
sponsored investment products, and private accounts of other institutional
and individual investors, including defined benefit and defined contribution
retirement plans, endowments, foundations, trusts, and other mutual funds. 
Total assets under management at December 31, 1995 were $75.4 billion, up
$17.6 billion since December 31, 1994.  The Company also provides various
administrative services to the Price Funds and other clients, including
mutual fund transfer agent, accounting and shareholder services; participant
recordkeeping and transfer agent services for defined contribution retirement
plans; discount brokerage; and trust services.  The Company was incorporated
in Maryland in January 1947 as successor to the investment counseling
business formed by the late Mr. T. Rowe Price in 1937.

The Company offers its Price Funds' shareholders and private accounts a broad
range of investment products designed to attract and retain investors with
varying investment objectives.  Shareholders are allowed to exchange funds
among mutual fund products as economic and market conditions and investor
needs change.  The Company frequently introduces new mutual funds designed to
complement and expand its investment product offerings, respond to
competitive developments in the financial marketplace, and meet the changing
needs of its funds' shareholders.  New mutual funds and other investment
products are introduced when the Company has personnel with sufficient
investment expertise to manage the product successfully for a substantial
group of investors over a long period of time.  The Company's base of assets
under management consists of a broad range of domestic and international
stock, bond and money market mutual funds and other investment products which
meet the varied needs and objectives of its individual and institutional
investors.  In recent years, there have been significant net cash inflows to
the stock mutual funds, particularly the international funds in 1993 and 1994
and the domestic funds in 1995.  Company revenues are largely dependent on
the total value and composition of assets under management; accordingly,
fluctuations in financial markets and in the composition of assets under
management impact revenues and results of operations.  Investment advisory
fees earned on assets under management and related expenses incurred to
generate such fees are generally higher for stock and international
investment products which have become a substantially larger portion of the
Company's assets under management than in the past.

The investment strategies employed by the Company accommodate a variety of
private account client investment objectives encompassing both domestic and
international securities.  Management of investments in stocks include active
approaches emphasizing established growth, mid-cap growth, New America growth
(companies that participate in the growth of the service sector of the U.S.
economy), small cap, equity income, capital appreciation, and natural
resources as well as systematic and balanced portfolio strategies. 
Approaches for investing in fixed income securities portfolios include active
<PAGE> 3
and systematic (index) management strategies and management of high yield
securities and cash reserves.  The Company has also developed several
specialized investment management services including private company
investing, investing in debt securities and creditor claims of
financially-troubled companies, the efficient disposition of equity
distributions from venture capital investments, and stable value investment
contract management.

Average assets under management (in millions) during the past five years and
total assets under management at December 31, 1995 are:

MUTUAL FUND MANAGEMENT.

OVERVIEW.  Each of the Price Funds has a distinct investment objective that
has been developed as part of the Company's strategy to provide a broad and
balanced selection of investment products.  All Funds are sold exclusively by
the Company on a no-load basis (without a sales commission).  No-load mutual
funds offer investors a low-cost and relatively easy method of investing in a
variety of stock and bond products.  The Company's marketing effort is
focused on advertising in the print media and direct mail communications.
During 1996, the Company will expand its promotional activities to the
television market including cable channels.  In addition, considerable direct
marketing efforts are targeted at large participant-directed defined
contribution plans that invest, in whole or in part, in mutual funds.  The
Company believes that its distribution methods and fund shareholder and
administrative services promote stability of assets in the Price Funds
through market cycles in addition to reducing costs to fund shareholders.

At December 31, 1995, assets under management in the Price Funds aggregated
$48.6 billion, an increase of $11.3 billion during 1995.  The following
information includes the net assets (in millions) at December 31, 1995 of

the Price family of funds, and the fund's primary investment objective.

The Company also sponsors the Foreign Equity Fund, an international stock
fund begun in 1989 for institutional investors, which seeks to provide long-
term growth of capital through investments primarily in common stocks of
established, non-U.S. companies.  Assets under management in this fund were
$1,723 million at December 31, 1995.

AGREEMENTS WITH PRICE FUNDS.  The Company provides investment advisory,
distribution and administrative services to the Price Funds under investment
management, underwriting, transfer agency and service agreements.  Pursuant
to investment management agreements with each of the Price Funds, the Company
provides investment advisory services to each fund, subject to the authority
of each fund's board of directors and to each fund's fundamental investment
objective.  The investment management agreements with the Price Funds are
approved annually by the directors of the respective funds, including a
majority of the directors who are not "interested persons" of the funds or
the Company as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the Investment Company Act).  Amendments to such agreements must be approved
by the Price Funds' shareholders.  Each agreement automatically terminates in
the event of its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company Act) and
either party may terminate the agreement without penalty after notice
(generally 60 days).  Each fund has the right to use the "T. Rowe Price" name
for so long as its investment management agreement with the Company remains
in effect.

The Company is paid an investment advisory fee based upon the average daily
net assets of the funds and separate administrative fees for the support
services rendered by the Company.  Management of the Company and the
independent directors of the Price Funds regularly review the fund fee
structures in light of fund performance, the level and range of services
provided, industry conditions, and other factors.  The current advisory fee
paid by each of the Price Funds (excluding the Price Spectrum and Summit 

<PAGE> 11
Funds, the Price Equity Index Fund and the Foreign Equity Fund) is computed
by multiplying the individual fund's average daily net assets by a composite
fee determined by adding a group fee based on the combined net assets of the
Price Funds and an individual fund fee applicable to each fund.

Each fund (excluding the Price Summit Funds) bears all expenses associated
with the operation of the fund and the issuance and redemption of its
securities.  In particular, each fund pays investment advisory fees;
shareholder servicing fees and expenses; fund accounting fees and expenses;
transfer agent fees; custodian fees and expenses; legal and auditing fees; 
expenses of preparing, printing and mailing prospectuses and shareholder
reports to existing shareholders; registration fees and expenses; proxy and
annual meeting expenses; and independent directors' fees and expenses.  All
advertising, promotion and selling expenses are borne by the Company.

The Company does, however, absorb expenses of funds that are in excess of
limitations established under state securities laws.  The Company does not
expect that state expense limits, at current fee and expense levels, will
have any significant effect on the results of its operations.  The Company
generally guarantees that a newly-organized fund's expenses will not exceed a
specified ratio during its initial operations.  Allowances made for reduced
advisory fees and other mutual fund expenses in excess of limitations may be
recovered in future periods if and when fund performance and related expense
limitation provisions permit.
 
Pursuant to underwriting agreements with each fund, T. Rowe Price Investment
Services, Inc. (TRP Investment Services) is the exclusive distributor of the
Price Funds.  The agreements provide that TRP Investment Services shall
always offer the funds' shares at a public offering price equal to the net
asset value per share and shall use its best efforts to obtain investors for
the funds.  The underwriting agreements with the Price Funds are approved
annually by the directors of the respective funds, including a majority of
the directors who are not "interested persons" of the funds or the Company as
defined under the Investment Company Act.  Each agreement automatically
terminates in the event of its assignment (as defined in the Investment
Company Act), and either party may terminate the agreement without penalty
after notice (generally 60 days).  TRP Investment Services does not receive a
separate fee for its services to the Price Funds.  The Company expends
substantial resources in advertising and direct mail communications to
existing and potential Price Funds' shareholders and in providing the staff
and communications capabilities to respond to inquiries.  The level of
advertising and promotion expenditures varies over time as market conditions
and cash inflows to the Price Funds warrant.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES.  T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. (TRP Services)
provides transfer agent and shareholder services under contracts with the
Price Funds. Shareholder servicing activities include maintenance of staff
and equipment to respond to all telephone inquiries from existing Fund
shareholders and to provide the mutual fund transfer agent function.  In
addition, the Company provides mutual fund accounting services including
maintenance of financial records, preparation of financial statements and 

<PAGE> 12
reports, daily valuation of portfolio securities and computation of daily net
asset values per share.

T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. (TRP Retirement Plan Services)
provides participant accounting, plan administration and transfer agent
services for defined contribution retirement plans that invest, at least in
part, in the Price Funds.  Plan sponsors compensate TRP Retirement Plan
Services for certain administrative services while the Price Funds compensate
it for maintaining and administering the individual participant accounts for
those plans that invest in the Price Funds.

The Company provides certain trust services through its Maryland-chartered
limited service trust company, T. Rowe Price Trust Company, Inc. (TRP Trust
Company).  TRP Trust Company serves as custodian or trustee for the Price
Funds' prototype retirement plans, IRAs, and certain other retirement plans. 
TRP Trust Company also sponsors common trust funds principally for investment
by qualified employee retirement plans.  Under its charter, TRP Trust Company
may not be in the business of accepting deposits and cannot make personal or
commercial loans.

The Company also provides discount brokerage services through TRP Investment
Services.  Such services are provided primarily to shareholders of the Price
Funds and are intended to complement the other investment services offered to
them.  All discount brokerage transactions are cleared through and accounts
maintained by BHC Securities, Inc., an independent clearing broker.

OTHER SPONSORED PRODUCTS AND PRIVATE ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT.

The Company serves as investment adviser to pension, profit sharing and other
employee benefit plans, endowments, foundations, trusts, individuals,
corporations, other mutual funds and other investors who are principally
domiciled in the United States.  No private account client accounted for more
than 5% of the Company's 1995 private account investment advisory revenues. 
Investment management services are provided to client accounts on an
individual basis and through sponsored investment partnerships and trusts. 
Sponsored investment products have generally been issued through private
placements.

Fees for separately managed private account clients are generally computed
based on the value of assets under management.  The standard form of
investment advisory agreement with private account clients provides that the
agreement may be terminated at any time and that any unearned fees paid in
advance will be refunded.  The minimum account size is generally $20 million
for institutional private account services, although the minimum account size
for certain specialized investment services may be higher.  Fees for
sponsored product management are based on individual product advisory
agreements, which result from consideration of, among other things, the type
of investments to be made and the unique investment management services to be
provided.

Many specialized investment advisory services are provided to private 

<PAGE> 13
accounts by subsidiaries of the Company.  International equity and fixed
income securities management is provided by Rowe Price-Fleming International,
Inc. (RPFI).  Management of stable value investment contracts, aggregating
$5.3 billion at December 31, 1995, is provided by T. Rowe Price Stable Asset
Management, Inc. (TRP Stable Asset Management).

INVESTMENT RESEARCH.

In the performance of its investment advisory functions, the Company uses
fundamental, technical and cyclical security analysis methods.  The Company
maintains a substantial internal equity and fixed income investment research
effort, undertaken by analysts, economists, statisticians and support
personnel, which includes original industry and company research, utilizing
such sources as inspection of corporate activities, management interviews,
company-prepared information, financial information published by companies
and/or filed with the SEC, financial newspapers and magazines, corporate
rating services, and field checks with participants in the industry such as
suppliers or competitors.  In addition, the Company utilizes research
provided by brokerage firms in a supportive capacity; information is received
from private economists, political observers, foreign commentators,
government experts, and market and security analysts.  In certain instances,
computerized data is the basis of the stock selection process rather than
security analysis.

ROWE PRICE-FLEMING INTERNATIONAL, INC.

TRP Finance, Inc., an investment holding company subsidiary, owns 50% of the
common stock of RPFI which, by virtue of the Company's controlling interest,
is consolidated into the Company's financial statements.  The balance of the
common stock of RPFI is owned equally by Copthall Overseas Limited (United
Kingdom), a subsidiary of the London-based merchant banking group Robert
Fleming Holdings Limited, and Jardine Fleming International Holdings Limited
(Cayman Islands), a subsidiary of the Jardine Fleming Group Limited, an
investment bank in the Asia-Pacific Region.  RPFI serves as investment
adviser to the Price International Funds and to other mutual funds, sponsored
investment products and private accounts of institutional investors.  During
1995, international assets under management by RPFI increased $3.9 billion to
$22.2 billion at year end, including $12.6 billion in the T. Rowe Price
International Funds.  RPFI's financial information and assets under
management are included in the Company's consolidated financial data and
statistical information presented elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

International investment research is provided to RPFI by affiliates of its
minority stockholders.  Fees are paid for these services based on RPFI's
assets under management.

REGULATION.

The Company, RPFI, TRP Stable Asset Management, and T. Rowe Price (Canada),
Inc. (TRP Canada) are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and all applicable state securities
<PAGE> 14
agencies.  Each of the Price Funds is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act and, except for the
specific state tax-free funds, is qualified for sale throughout the United
States and Puerto Rico.  TRP Investment Services is registered as a broker-
dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and all
applicable state securities laws and is a member of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Securities  Investor Protection
Corporation.  TRP Services is registered under the Exchange Act as a transfer
agent, and TRP Trust Company is regulated by the State of Maryland Bank
Commissioner.  TRP Canada is also registered as an investment adviser with
the Ontario Securities Commission.

All aspects of the Company's business are subject to extensive federal and
state laws and regulations.  These laws and regulations are primarily
intended to benefit or protect the Company's clients and the Price Funds'
shareholders and generally grant supervisory agencies and bodies broad
administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict the Company
from carrying on its business in the event that it fails to comply with such
laws and regulations.  In such event, the possible sanctions that may be
imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on
engaging in certain lines of business for specified periods of time,
revocation of the investment adviser and other registrations, censures and
fines.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to net capital
requirements including those of various federal and state regulatory
agencies.  The Company's net capital, as defined, has consistently met or
exceeded all minimum requirements.

COMPETITION.

As a member of the financial services industry, the Company is subject to
substantial competition in all aspects of its business.  A significant number
of mutual funds are sold to the public by investment management firms,
broker-dealers and insurance companies.  In addition to other investment
advisory and mutual fund management companies, the Company competes with
brokerage and investment banking firms, insurance companies, banks, and other
financial institutions in all aspects of its business.  Many of these
financial institutions have substantially greater resources than the Company.
The Company competes with other providers of investment products and services
primarily on the basis of the range of investment products offered, the
investment performance of such products, the manner in which such products
are distributed, and the scope and quality of the services provided.

The Company believes that competition among the mutual funds industry will
increase as a result of consolidation and acquisition activity within the
industry.  In order to maintain and enhance its competitive position as an
independent, no-load, direct marketer of mutual funds, the Company frequently
reviews acquisition prospects and may, from time to time, engage in
discussions or negotiations that could lead to acquisitions by the Company. 
Currently, the Company is not party to any agreements or understandings 

<PAGE> 15
regarding any acquisitions; however, as a result of the Company's process of
reviewing possible acquisition prospects, negotiations may occur from time to
time if appropriate opportunities arise.

EMPLOYEES.

At December 31, 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries had 1,910 active,
full-time employees.  The Company employs additional temporary and part-time
personnel to meet seasonal and other periodic demands for mutual fund
shareholder and investor services.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

GENERAL.

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the Company) derives its revenue primarily
from investment advisory and administrative services provided to the Price
Mutual Funds (the Funds), other sponsored investment products, and private
accounts of other institutional and individual investors.  Investment
advisory fees are generally based on the net assets of the portfolios
managed.  The majority of administrative revenues are derived from services
provided to the Funds.

The Company's base of assets under management consists of a broad range of
domestic and international stock, bond and money market mutual funds and
other investment products which meet the varied needs and objectives of its
individual and institutional investors.  In recent years, there have been
significant net cash inflows to the stock mutual funds, particularly the
international funds in 1993 and 1994 and the domestic funds in 1995.  Company
revenues are largely dependent on the total value and composition of assets
under management; accordingly, fluctuations in financial markets and in the
composition of assets under management impact revenues and results of
operations.  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

1995 versus 1994.  Net income increased almost $14.3 million or 23% to $75.4
million.  Earnings per share grew more than 23%, or $.47 per share, to an
annual record of $2.47.  The 1995 results include an extraordinary charge of
$1.0 million or $.03 per share from the early extinguishment of the Company's
9.77% fixed rate, $12.4 million promissory note due in 2001.  The Company's
common stock repurchases during 1994 and 1995 resulted in a decrease in
weighted average shares outstanding and account for $.03 of the increase in
earnings per share.  Total revenues increased 15% from $382.4 million to an
annual record of $439.3 million, led by an increase of $42.0 million in
investment advisory revenues.

Investment advisory revenues from the Funds increased more than $37.6 million
as average assets under management rose $6.2 billion to $42.7 billion.  Fund
assets totaled $48.6 billion at December 31, 1995, up $11.3 billion from
December 31, 1994, with stock funds accounting for $9.5 billion of the
increase.  Net cash inflows to the Funds during 1995 of $3.8 billion,
including $3.6 billion to the stock funds, surpassed the 1994 total of $3.4
billion and nearly equaled the record of $3.9 billion in 1993.  Private
accounts and other sponsored products contributed the balance of the
investment advisory revenue gains as these assets under management rose $6.3
billion to more than $26.8 billion at December 31, 1995.  Total assets under
management at year end increased to $75.4 billion from $57.8 billion.

Administrative fees from services to the Funds and their shareholders rose
10% during 1995 to $94.4 million, primarily as a result of growth in the 

<PAGE> 19
activities of the Company's mutual fund transfer agent and defined
contribution retirement plan recordkeeping services; however, increases in
related operating expenses more than offset these revenue gains.

Investment and other income rose $6.2 million primarily due to greater
earnings on the Company's larger mutual fund holdings and capital gains
realized on stock mutual fund investments.

Operating expenses increased 13% or $34.4 million to $295.6 million from
$261.2 million.  Greater compensation and related costs, which were up $14.0
million, were attributable to increases in overall compensation rates,
including higher bonuses, and an 8% increase in the average number of
employees primarily to support the Company's growing administrative
operations.  Advertising and promotion expenditures increased 12% to $34.8
million as fourth quarter 1995 spending was boosted significantly in response
to investor demand for stock mutual funds.  Early 1996 cash inflows to the
mutual funds have been strong.  Advertising and promotion expenditures in
1996 are expected to remain high relative to 1995 expenditures as long as
market conditions and cash inflows warrant.  Depreciation, amortization, and
operating rentals of property and equipment increased $5.2 million as a
result of the Company's recent investments in computer and communications
equipment and office facilities.  International investment research fees
increased $4.3 million as international assets under management rose to $22.2
billion at December 31, 1995, including $12.6 billion in the mutual funds. 
Administrative and general expenses increased $7.2 million due to greater
costs associated with the Company's growing operations and data processing
capabilities.

The provision for income taxes decreased as a percentage of income before
income taxes and minority interests primarily due to the recognition of
federal research expenditure credits.  Tax laws allowing such credits expired
June 30, 1995.

Lower net income reported on a separate company basis by the Company's 50%-
owned subsidiary, Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. (RPFI), was the
primary reason for the decrease in income attributable to the minority
interests in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries.

1994 versus 1993.  Net income increased $12.6 million or 26% from $48.5
million and $1.59 per share to $61.2 million and $2.00 per share.  Revenues
increased 23% to $382.4 million from $310.0 million.  Results for 1993
included a net charge of $.3 million or $.01 per share reflecting the
cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles.

Investment advisory revenues from the Funds increased $46.4 million as
average assets under management rose $6.7 billion to $36.5 billion.  Assets
in the Funds closed 1994 at $37.3 billion, up $2.6 billion during the year,
with stock funds accounting for $22.8 billion of the year-end total.  Net
cash inflows to the Funds during 1994 totaled nearly $3.4 billion as net
subscriptions of $4.1 billion into the stock funds and $.8 billion into the
money market funds were partially offset by net redemptions of $1.5 billion 

<PAGE> 20
from the bond funds.  Private accounts and other sponsored products primarily
in the international asset area and performance management fees earned from
sponsored partnerships contributed $18.8 million of the revenue gains. 
Private account assets under management rose to $20.5 billion at December 31,
1994, up $.8 billion during the year.  Total assets under management at year
end increased to $57.8 billion from $54.4 billion.  

Administrative fees from services to the Price Funds and their shareholders
rose 11% during 1994 to $85.7 million as a result of growth in the activities
of the Company's mutual fund transfer agent and defined contribution plan
recordkeeping services; however, increases in related operating expenses more
than offset these revenue gains.  Investment and other income decreased $1.4
million from 1993 due to losses from dispositions and write-downs of the
Company's bond fund holdings in the higher interest rate environment that
existed throughout 1994.

Operating expenses increased 19% or $42.1 million to $261.2 million from
$219.1 million.  Greater compensation and related costs, which were up $19.7
million, were attributable to increases in overall compensation rates,
including higher bonuses, and a 6% increase in the average number of
employees, primarily to support the growing administrative services
operations.  The Company increased spending on advertising and promotion by
$1.8 million primarily to attract additional investments into the
international funds during early 1994.  Such expenditures vary over time as
market conditions and cash inflows to the Funds warrant.  Depreciation,
amortization, and operating rentals of property and equipment increased $3.5
million as a result of the Company's recent investments in computer and
communications equipment, office facilities and furnishings.  International
investment research fees, which are based on international assets under
management, increased $9.2 million.  Administrative and general expenses
increased $7.9 million as a result of greater operating costs associated with
the Company's growing operations, including those related to data processing
and communications.

Increased earnings by RPFI was the primary reason for the increase in income
attributable to the minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries.  The
Company's international assets, which are managed by RPFI, increased $2.9
billion to $18.3 billion at December 31, 1994, including $10.8 billion in the
Price Funds.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY.

During the three years ended December 31, 1995, stockholders' equity
increased 78% or $120.0 million to $274.2 million.  Stockholders' equity at
December 31, 1995 includes $12.7 million of net unrealized security holding
gains on the Company's investments in sponsored mutual funds and $43.2
million which is restricted as to use under various regulations and
agreements to which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject in the
ordinary course of business.

Operating activities provided net cash inflows of $101.8 million in 1995 when
net income increased $14.3 million.  Comparatively, 1994 provided net
operating cash inflows of $111.9 million, including $27.3 million from the 

<PAGE> 21
liquidation of sponsored mutual fund investments which had been held as
trading securities.  Net cash expended in investing activities during 1995
aggregated $35.5 million, down from the $53.4 million expended in 1994 when
the proceeds of the liquidation of the trading securities portfolio were
reinvested in the Company's longer-term investment portfolios.  Property and
equipment expenditures reached $23.9 million in 1995, including $7.8 million
for the acquisition of 32.5 acres of land in suburban Owings Mills, Maryland
on which the Company will develop additional office facilities for its
expanding operations.  Financing activities consumed $44.9 million in 1995,
including common stock repurchases, dividends and distributions to minority
interests as well as $13.6 million for the early extinguishment of the
Company's long-term debt.  The Company realized a substantial savings by
retiring the debt at market rates versus the terms of the original borrowing.

At December 31, 1995, the Company held net liquid assets of more than $170
million, including $81.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, to meet
business demands and opportunities.  In addition, a maximum of $20 million is
available to the Company under unused bank lines of credit.

The Company anticipates 1996 property and equipment acquisitions of
approximately $50 million, including $20 million for development of two
office buildings on the land acquired in 1995.  Additional construction and
furnishing costs of approximately $30 million for these new facilities are
expected in 1997 before occupancy occurs in the latter half of the year. 
These capital expenditures are expected to be funded from liquid assets
currently available and from operating cash inflows.  The future need for
additional facilities can be met on the substantial acreage remaining
undeveloped and on an adjacent 37.4 acres presently under purchase option. 
Commitments for additional investments in partnerships and other ventures
aggregate $7.5 million at December 31, 1995.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the
accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and its subsidiaries at
December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

During 1993, the Company changed its methods of accounting for postretirement
benefits other than pensions and income taxes by adopting new standards of
the Financial Accounting Standards Board.  These changes are more fully
described in Notes 8 and 4 accompanying the consolidated financial
statements.

                         T. ROWE PRICE ASSOCIATES, INC.
                   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the
Company) derives its revenue primarily from investment advisory and
administrative services provided to sponsored mutual funds and investment
products and to private accounts of other institutional and individual
investors.  Company revenues are largely dependent on the total value and
composition of assets under management, which include domestic and
international equity and debt securities; accordingly, fluctuations in
financial markets and in the composition of assets under management impact
revenues and results of operations.

BASIS OF PREPARATION.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles which requires the use of estimates
made by the Company's management.  Certain 1993 and 1994 amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority
owned subsidiaries and, by virtue of the Company's controlling interest, its
50%-owned subsidiary, Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. (RPFI).  All
material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.

International investment research is provided by affiliates of the minority
stockholders of RPFI.  Fees paid for these services are based on
international assets under management by RPFI.

CASH EQUIVALENTS.
For purposes of financial statement disclosure, cash equivalents consist of
all short-term, highly liquid investments including certain money market
mutual funds and all overnight commercial paper investments.  The cost of
these investments is equivalent to fair value.

INVESTMENTS IN SPONSORED MUTUAL FUNDS.
On December 31, 1993, the Company began accounting for its investments in
sponsored stock and bond mutual funds at fair value and, accordingly,
classifies these holdings as either trading securities (held for only a short
period of time) or available-for-sale securities.  Unrealized holding gains
on securities classified as available-for-sale are reported, net of income
taxes, as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK.
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations
of credit risk as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 105 consist primarily of investments in sponsored money market and
bond mutual funds and accounts receivable.  Credit risk is believed to be
minimal in that counterparties to these financial instruments have 

<PAGE> 29
substantial assets, including the diversified investment portfolios under
management by the Company which aggregate $75.4 billion at December 31, 1995.

PARTNERSHIP AND OTHER INVESTMENTS.
The Company invests in various partnerships and ventures, including those
sponsored by the Company.  These entities, which hold equity securities,
venture capital investments and debt securities, are generally accounted for
using the equity method which adjusts the Company's cost for its share of
subsequent earnings or losses.  These investments do not have a readily
determinable fair value.  Minor limited partnership investments are accounted
for using the cost method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT.
Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization computed using the straight-line method.  Provisions for
depreciation and amortization are based on the following estimated useful
lives:  computer and communications equipment, furniture and other equipment,
2 to 7 years; building, 40 years; leasehold improvements, the shorter of
their estimated useful lives or the remainder of the lease term; and leased
land, the term of the lease. 

REVENUE RECOGNITION.
Investment advisory and administrative services fees are recognized during
the period in which such services are performed, except when advisory fees
from mutual funds are adjusted in accordance with the expense limitation
provisions of the investment advisory agreements between the Company and the
funds.  Allowances made for reduced advisory fees and other mutual fund
expenses in excess of limitations may be recovered in future periods if and
when fund performance and related expense limitation provisions permit.

ADVERTISING.
Costs of advertising are expensed the first time that the advertising takes
place.

EARNINGS PER SHARE.
Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding, including share equivalents arising from unexercised
stock options.  The aggregate weighted average shares outstanding used in
computing earnings per share were 30,615,114 in 1993, 30,571,496 in 1994, and
30,524,853 in 1995.

                                               ________  ________   ________

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between taxable income
for financial statement and income tax return purposes.  Significant
temporary differences resulted in deferred income taxes of $2,713,000 in 1993
related to income from the MRT holdings and $944,000 in 1995 related to
accrued compensation and retirement costs.  Deferred tax benefits arising
from significant temporary differences include $1,712,000 related to accrued
compensation and $704,000 related to net unrealized investment income in
1994.

On January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income 

<PAGE> 32
Taxes," which requires the use of the liability method for computing deferred
income taxes instead of the deferred method previously used in the Company's
financial statements.  The cumulative effect of adopting the new accounting
principle was a credit to earnings of $291,000 or $.01 per share.

The net deferred tax asset of $1,125,000 included in other assets at December
31, 1994 consists of total deferred tax liabilities of $3,660,000 and total
deferred tax assets of $4,785,000.  Deferred tax liabilities include
$1,100,000 arising from RPFI's undistributed earnings, $1,901,000 arising
from net unrealized investment income, and $659,000 from depreciation
expense.  Deferred tax assets include $3,646,000 arising from deferred
compensation and retirement costs and $1,139,000 from other accrued expenses.

The net deferred tax liability of $5,189,000 included in income taxes payable

NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS.

SHARES AUTHORIZED AND ISSUED.

A 2-for-1 split of the Company's common stock was effected on November 30,
1993.  Earnings per-share data in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and all per-share and share data in these notes have been adjusted
to give retroactive effect to the stock split.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had reserved 7,318,402 shares of its
unissued common stock for issuance upon the exercise of stock options and
420,000 shares for issuance under a plan whereby substantially all employees
may acquire shares of Company stock through payroll deductions at prevailing
market prices.

The Company's board of directors has authorized the future repurchase of up
to 1,670,000 common shares at December 31, 1995.  Accounts payable and
accrued expenses includes $148,000 at December 31, 1994 and $3,910,000 at
December 31, 1995 for pending settlements of common stock repurchases.

Subsequent to year end, the Company's board of directors adopted resolutions
to effect a two-for-one split of common shares and a proportional increase in
authorized common shares from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000.  These changes
require amendment of the Company's charter and have been recommended by the
board to the Company's stockholders for approval at their annual meeting on
April 12, 1996.

DIVIDENDS.

The Company declared cash dividends per share of $.445 in 1993, $.55 in 1994
and $.69 in 1995.

FIXED STOCK OPTION PLANS.

At December 31, 1995, the Company has four stock-based compensation plans
(the 1986, 1990 and 1993 Stock Incentive Plans and the 1995 Director Stock
Option Plan) under which it has granted fixed stock options with a maximum
term of 10 years to its employees and directors.  Vesting of employee options
is based solely on the individual continuing to render service to the Company
and generally occurs over a 5-year graded schedule.  The exercise price of
each option granted is equivalent to the market price of the Company's stock
at the date of grant.  The Company applies the intrinsic value based method
of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for its stock
option awards. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any related
compensation expense.  Beginning with financial statements for 1996, the
Company will be required to make certain additional disclosures as if the
fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation," had been applied to the Company's stock option
grants made subsequent to 1994.

The following table summarizes the status of and changes in the Company's
stock option plans during the past three years.

The Company also has a defined benefit plan covering those employees whose
annual base salaries do not exceed a plan-specified salary limit. 
Participant benefits are based on the final month's base pay and years of
service subsequent to January 1, 1987.  The Company's funding policy is to
contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal
income tax purposes.  The following table sets forth the plan's funded status
and the amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

On January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," which changed the Company's
practice of accounting for postretirement health and life insurance benefits
from the cash basis to the accrual basis.  The effect of adopting the new
accounting principle was an aftertax charge to earnings of $621,000 or $.02
per share.  Postretirement benefits plan participants include only those
retirees and their dependents who were receiving benefits on January 1, 1993.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES.

The Company leases office facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases.  Related rent expense was $13,554,000 in 1993, $14,859,000 

<PAGE> 36
in 1994, and $16,969,000 in 1995.  Future minimum rental payments under these
leases aggregate $9,516,000 in 1996, $7,062,000 in 1997, $5,937,000 in 1998,
$5,203,000 in 1999, $5,203,000 in 2000, and $31,094,000 in later years.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had outstanding commitments to invest an
additional $7,472,000 in various investment partnerships and ventures.

The Company has contingent obligations at December 31, 1995 under a $500,000
direct pay letter of credit expiring not later than 1999 and a $780,000
standby letter of credit which is renewable annually.

Consolidated stockholders' equity at December 31, 1995 includes $43,195,000
which is restricted as to use under various regulations and agreements to
which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject in the ordinary course of
business.

From time to time, the Company is a party to various claims arising in the
ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, after
consultation with counsel, it is unlikely that any adverse determination in
one or more pending claims would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

provisions of the Prochazka Option including the right of the Prochazkas to
lease back three (3) acres of land containing the residence, gardens and

the Prochazka Property must be held, and Buyer shall exercise its right to
acquire all of Parcel 3 B by notice in writing to Seller given not later than
sixty (60) days following the date that Buyer receives notice from Seller
that the Prochazka Option is exercisable.  Such notice shall be accompanied 

<PAGE> 8
by a copy of a title report on Parcel 3 B obtained by Buyer which indicates a
state of title which Buyer is willing to accept.  Seller will not impose on
Parcel 3 B any title encumbrances during such time as Buyer has the option to
purchase Parcel 3 B as provided in this Agreement and continuing until
closing if Buyer exercises such option.

          13.2. PURCHASE PRICE.  For a period of eighteen (18) months from
the date of settlement on the Property, the purchase price for Parcel 3 B
shall be an amount per acre equal to the amount per acre actually paid by
Buyer for the Property as set forth in Section 2 hereof.

          13.3. ADJUSTMENTS TO PURCHASE PRICE.  

               13.3.1    SETTLEMENT ON PARCEL 3 B WITHIN TEN YEARS OF DATE OF
SETTLEMENT ON THE PROPERTY.  Commencing on the date which is eighteen (18)
months from the date of settlement on the Property, and continuing on each
anniversary of that date which occurs within ten (10) years from the date of
settlement on the Property, the purchase price shall be increased by four
percent (4%) per annum, compounded annually, provided that settlement on
Parcel 3 B is held not later than ten (10) years from the date of settlement
on the Property.

               13.3.2.   SETTLEMENT ON PARCEL 3 B MORE THAT TEN YEARS AFTER
DATE OF SETTLEMENT ON THE PROPERTY.  If settlement on Parcel 3 B occurs more
than ten (10) years after the date of settlement on the Property, the
adjusted purchase price shall be the higher of the two figures obtained by
adjusting the purchase price as hereinafter set forth in subsections (i) and
(ii) hereof, respectively.

                         (i)  The purchase price shall continue to be
increased by four percent (4%) per annum, compounded annually, beginning on
the date which is eighteen (18) months from the date of settlement on the
Property as set forth in Section 13.3.1. hereof and on each anniversary of
that date occurring prior to settlement on Parcel 3 B.

                         (ii) The purchase price shall be adjusted to the
fair market value of Parcel 3 B, determined as set forth in Section 13.3.3.
hereof, on the date that Buyer exercises its right to purchase Parcel 3 B.

          13.3.3.   DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE.  Buyer and Seller
shall attempt to agree on the fair market value of Parcel 3 B within ten (10)
days after Buyer exercises its right to purchase Parcel 3 B.  If Seller and
Buyer are unable to agree on the fair market value of Parcel 3 B within such
ten (10) day period, each shall nominate one person, who shall have a current
proficiency in land value appraisals in Baltimore County, Maryland and shall
be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers having an
M.A.I. designation and having an office in the Baltimore Metropolitan area,
to appraise and determine the Fair Market Value of Parcel 3 B.  The
nomination must be in writing and must be given by each party to the other
within thirty (30) days from the date that Buyer exercised its right to
purchase Parcel 3 B.  If the two persons nominated and appointed as 

<PAGE> 9
appraisers by the parties shall differ in judgment by more than 10% as to the
Fair Market Value shown on the higher appraisal, then they shall appoint an
appraiser having an M.A.I. designation and having a current proficiency in
land value appraisals in Baltimore County, Maryland to be the third
appraiser, if they can agree upon such person.  However, if they cannot
agree, then the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County shall
appoint an appraiser having an M.A.I. designation and having a current
proficiency in land value appraisals in Baltimore County, Maryland as the
third appraiser, but if such Chief Judge shall fail or refuse to act, then
either party may apply to any court having jurisdiction for the appointment
of such third appraiser.  If the two appraisers so chosen shall agree in
writing upon the fair market value, then such value shall be binding upon
Seller and Buyer; if the fair market value established by the two appraisers
differs by 10% or less of the value shown on the higher appraisal, then the
average of the two appraisals shall be binding on Seller and Buyer; but if
the fair market value established by the two appraisers, which shall be
submitted within thirty (30) days after the second of the two appraisers
shall have been nominated, differs by more than 10% of the value shown on the
higher appraisal, then the selection of the third appraiser shall be made as
above provided within ten (10) days thereafter.  The decision of the third
appraiser so selected as to the fair market value shall be rendered in
writing to the parties within thirty (30) days after the selection of such
third appraiser.  In the event the third appraiser is used, the Fair Market
Value of Parcel 3 B shall be determined as follows:  (i) if the fair market
value established by the third appraiser is lower than both of the fair
market values established by the two appraisals, then the lower of the fair
market values established by the two appraisals shall be conclusive and
binding upon Seller and Buyer, (ii) if the fair market value established by
the third appraiser is equal to or between the fair market values established
by the two appraisals, then the fair market value established by the third
appraiser shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller and Buyer, or (iii) if
the fair market value established by the third appraiser is higher than both
of the fair market values established by the two appraisals, then the higher
of the fair market values established by the two appraisals shall be
conclusive and binding upon Seller and Buyer.  Each party shall bear the
expense of its own appraiser, but the fees and expenses of the third
appraiser shall be shared equally.

          13.4. SETTLEMENT.  Settlement on Parcel 3 B will be held on, or by
mutual consent before, the date specified as the latest date on which
settlement under the Prochazka Option must be held in the notice from Seller
given pursuant to Section 13.1.

          13.5. MANNER OF CONVEYANCE.  At the election of Seller, Parcel 3 B
shall be conveyed to Buyer pursuant to the provisions of either sub-section A
or sub-section B hereof.  Seller shall give Buyer notice in writing of which
provisions it elects not less than thirty (30) days prior to settlement.

               A.   SELLER ACQUIRES PROCHAZKA PROPERTY.

                    (i)   Seller shall acquire the Prochazka Property
pursuant to the provisions of the Prochazka Option.

                    (ii)   Upon payment of the purchase price by Buyer,
Seller shall convey Parcel 3 B to Buyer.

               B.   SELLER PARTIALLY ASSIGNS PROCHAZKA OPTION.

                    (i)    Seller shall assign the Prochazka Option as it
relates to the Prochazka Portion to Buyer.  In consideration for such
assignment, Buyer shall pay Seller an amount equal to the part of the
purchase price allocable to the Prochazka Portion on an acreage basis less
the purchase price payable by Buyer to acquire the Prochazka Portion and such
part of the recordation, transfer and agricultural transfer taxes as are
attributable to such purchase price.  At settlement under the Prochazka
Option, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any agricultural transfer taxes paid
by Buyer.

                    (ii)   Seller and Buyer shall acquire their respective
portions of the Prochazka Property pursuant to the provisions of the
Prochazka Option.

                    (iii)  Upon payment of the balance of the purchase price
by Buyer, Seller shall convey the balance of Parcel 3 B to Buyer.

          13.6. CONDITION OF TITLE.  Acceptable fee simple title to Parcel 3
B shall be conveyed to Buyer at settlement subject to no liens, encumbrances
or restrictions except those shown on the title report submitted by Buyer to
Seller upon exercise of its right to purchase Parcel 3 B (and such other
liens, encumbrances and restrictions as are consented to by Buyer).

          13.7. AGREEMENT IMPOSING RESTRICTIONS.  Seller and Buyer shall
execute an agreement imposing certain covenants and restrictions on Parcel 3
B, in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT E, which agreement shall be
recorded among the Land Records of Baltimore County immediately after the
deed conveying title to Parcel 3 B to Buyer and before any mortgage or other
lien is placed on Parcel 3 B.

          13.8. RECORDATION AND TRANSFER TAXES.  Any County or State
recordation or transfer taxes, including agricultural transfer taxes, based
on the consideration paid to the Prochazkas pursuant to the Prochazka Option,
shall be paid by Seller either directly or as a credit against the purchase
price as set forth in Section 13.4.B.  All other State and County recordation
and transfer taxes except agricultural transfer taxes shall be borne one-half
by Seller and one-half by Buyer.  Any agricultural transfer taxes shall be
paid by Seller.

          13.9. PRORATIONS.  Prorations shall be as set forth in Section 6.2.
hereof.

<PAGE> 11
          13.10. DEFAULT BY PROCHAZKAS.  

               13.10.1.  In the event that the Prochazkas default in their
obligation to convey the Prochazka Property pursuant to the terms of the
Prochazka Option, Seller shall in no event have any liability to Buyer for
its failure to cause the conveyance of Parcel 3 B to Buyer by reason of the
Prochazkas' default.

               13.10.2.  In the case of such default, unless Buyer notifies
Seller within thirty (30) days of the date provided for settlement under the
Prochazka Option that it wishes Seller to file a suit for specific
performance against the Prochazkas, at Buyer's expense, and is willing to
postpone settlement until the conclusion of the suit, neither party shall
have any further rights under this Section 13.  If Buyer does so notify
Seller, Seller shall with reasonable promptness file a suit for specific
performance against the Prochazkas and shall diligently prosecute same at
Buyer's expense.  If the suit results in a decree refusing specific
performance, Seller shall not be obligated to appeal, and neither party shall
have any further rights under this Section 13 unless Buyer directs Seller to
prosecute an appeal of the adverse decision at Buyer's expense, and further
agrees to defer settlement until after a favorable decision on appeal. 
Settlement shall be held, if at all, within five (5) days after all appeal
rights have expired after entry of a decree for specific performance of the
Prochazka Option by a court of competent jurisdiction and performance of the
decree by the Prochazkas.

     14.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.
