REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small-Cap Value Fund

 .    After a roller-coaster ride, small-cap stocks ended the first half of 2000
     with a modest gain.

 .    The fund performed significantly better than its benchmarks for the
     six-month period, as investors recognized the solid values of many
     portfolio holdings.

 .    Takeovers continued to dominate portfolio activity, resulting in strong
     gains for the fund.

 .    New positions came from a broad range of industries, including oil
     services, financial services, furniture retailing, and transportation.

 .    The fund should benefit from investors' renewed attention to stock
     fundamentals, especially in the long-ignored small-cap sector.

FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS

Small-cap stocks had a roller-coaster ride during the first half of 2000. As
measured by the Russell 2000, small-caps rose 22% to their year-to-date peak in
March, then fell 28% within the next six weeks, before rebounding to finish the
first half up 3%. Small-cap value stocks were substantially less volatile, and,
as noted below, concluded the period with returns up nearly 6%. While not
robust, small-caps nevertheless did better than the S&P 500, which provided a
negative return (-0.43%) for the six-month period.

The Small-Cap Value Fund had a solid first half, surpassing all of its
benchmarks for both the second quarter and the full six months. We were
especially helped by good performance among our largest holdings, including
Silicon Valley Bancshares (up 72%), Cross Timbers Oil (up 144%), and HS
Resources (up 74%). In addition, the fund had no exposure to Internet stocks, a
stance that hurt last year but helped us in 2000 after the Internet group began
a steep correction. Returns were constrained by poor performance of some
holdings, particularly Medical Assurance (down 44%), and IT Group (down 47%). In
both cases, we believe that deterioration in the companies' operating results is
transitory, so we have held our positions in their stocks.

The improved results for small-cap stocks relative to large-caps continued a
pattern that began in April 1999. Prior to that, small-caps had lagged for
nearly five years, causing many investors to become disenchanted with small
companies and move their capital to the better-performing large-cap group. Led
by bellwether names such as General Electric, Microsoft, and Cisco Systems, the
S&P 500 index enjoyed five years of double-digit returns.

But small stocks began to rebound last year, so that investors are now willing
to consider this group on at least an equal footing with large stocks.
Small-company earnings growth has risen and valuations remain historically
attractive. But perhaps the most salient change is that the favored large
companies are not "bulletproof," as evidenced by the government's antitrust
litigation against Microsoft. Faced with a choice, investors today will consider
the merits of the small-cap group, and if history is a guide, may increasingly
shift assets into small stocks to try to catch their currently superior results.



PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY

Once again, takeovers dominated our sales activity during the first half of
2000. Five of the 10 largest sales (Cameron Ashley, OEA, CEM, Savoir Technology,
and MYR Group) were the targets of takeovers. In all but one case, the merger
price was at least 35% above the stock price immediately prior to the takeover
announcement. We also trimmed our holdings in Silicon Valley Bancshares and Lone
Star Technologies, stocks that have done well for the fund over the past several
months.

Our largest purchases comprised companies in a broad range of industries from
oil services (Compagnie Generale de Geophysique and Trico Marine) to financials
(UCBH Holdings and American Capital Strategies) to furniture retailing (Haverty
Furniture). The largest purchase was Circle International Group, a
transportation logistics company specializing in freight forwarding and customs
brokerage. We bought Circle in May at about $20 per share following a drop in
the stock caused by the departure of the company's CEO. Our analysis concluded
that Circle's position in its industry and its strong relations with customers
suggested an intrinsic value for the company 30% to 50% higher than the stock
price and more in line with the stock's high of $30 over the previous year. In
this case, our view was confirmed more quickly than usual by an early-July
merger offer from a competitor worth about $30 a share.



THE CYCLE TURNS

In our 1999 year-end report, we described the enormous gap in relative
performance that had occurred between small-cap growth and value stocks over the
previous 16 months. During that period,

2
<PAGE>

small growth stocks (as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index) outperformed
small value stocks by a huge 81 percentage points. During January and February
of this year, that trend continued. Then, with the rapid correction in
technology that occurred in March through May, the tables turned, and small
value began to do better (see table below).

 ................................................................................


Performance cycles between growth and value are common and have been observed
ever since the Frank Russell Company began providing small-cap indices in 1979.
What was different in the most recent period was the extent of the growth stock
outperformance: 120 percentage points versus the previous high mark of 58
percentage points for the period July 1979 to November 1980. We can identify a
few reasons for growth's good results: 1) Internet stocks exploded on the scene
and had a major impact on growth portfolio results; 2) technology stocks broadly
enjoyed one of their best periods in years; and 3) small-cap value names,
burdened in some cases with debt in a rising interest rate environment, suffered
in comparison to the rapid earnings growth shown by many of their growth peers.

By their nature, cycles eventually reverse. The change in relative results since
February may or may not signal the end of growth's ascendancy for this cycle,
but it certainly gives pause to following an investment strategy that emphasizes
growth and stock price momentum over valuations.



OUTLOOK

This year has so far proven to be a period of volatility and speculative
activity followed by a sobering correction. The Federal Reserve's tightening of
the money supply seems to be working both to slow the economy and to discourage
speculation. In this environment, we are rapidly returning to what feels like
"normal" investment conditions.

<PAGE>

Once again, earnings and dividends, high-confidence growth prospects, and
reasonable valuations have become important to investors chastened by the
collapse of the Internet bubble. The kinds of value companies we buy -- steady,
cheap, almost boring in some cases -- are receiving a fresh look. The takeover
activity experienced by some of our stocks tells us they were good values in the
eyes of knowledgeable and sophisticated buyers. Now, for the first time in
several years, the general public is beginning to see the attractiveness of
those same names.

Cash flow into small-cap value funds has recently turned positive after several
quarters of outflows. Our results are similarly favorable. I'm increasingly
bullish on our value sector, even recognizing the continued uncertainties facing
the overall stock market. If past patterns repeat, we may be entering a period
of better relative performance for small-cap value stocks and for your fund.

ADVISOR SHARE CLASS CREATED
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

T. Rowe Price has introduced a new class of shares for certain funds, including
this one. The new Advisor Class shares will be sold exclusively by financial
intermediaries, such as brokers and financial advisers, and will enhance our
ability to reach a new group of investors through this expanding channel. Since
the new share class has a modest 12b-1 fee (a distribution fee paid to the sales
intermediary), its performance will likely vary somewhat from your fund shares
even though both invest in the same portfolio.

We want to emphasize that the new class will have no impact whatsoever on your
investment in the fund or on the returns provided to you by the fund. The daily
net asset value and expenses for the existing shares and the Advisor Class
shares are calculated separately. In due course, you will see the Advisor Class
share prices listed in newspapers and other print and electronic media. Certain
expenses associated with the Advisor Class shares will be itemized in financial
statements in your fund's shareholder reports.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Value Fund, Inc. (the fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment
company. The fund has two classes of shares - Small-Cap Value, offered since
June 30, 1988, and Small-Cap Value Advisor Class, first offered on March 31,
2000. Small-Cap Value Advisor Class sells its shares only through financial
intermediaries, which it compensates for distribution and certain administrative
services under a Board-approved Rule 12b-1 plan. Each class has exclusive voting
rights on matters related solely to that class, separate voting rights on
matters that relate to both classes, and, in all other respects, the same rights
and obligations as the other class. The fund seeks long-term capital growth by
investing primarily in small companies whose common stocks are believed to be
undervalued.

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for the investment company industry; these
principles may require the use of estimates by fund management.

Valuation Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange
are valued at the last quoted sales price on the day 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.
Listed securities not traded on a particular day and securities regularly traded
in the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean of the latest bid and
asked prices. Other equity securities 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.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share
of the mutual fund on the day of valuation.

For purposes of determining the fund's net asset value per share, the U.S.
dollar value of all assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign
currencies is determined by using the mean of the bid and offer prices of such
currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank.

T. ROWE PRICE SMALL-CAP VALUE FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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.

Affiliated Companies As defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, an
affiliated company is one in which the fund owns at least 5% of the outstanding
voting securities.

Currency Translation Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at
the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Purchases and
sales of securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at
the prevailing exchange rate on the dates of such transactions. The effect of
changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and
losses is reflected as a component of such gains and losses.

Premiums and Discounts Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized
for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

Class Accounting The Small-Cap Value Advisor Class pays distribution and
administrative expenses, in the form of Rule 12b-1 fees, in an amount not
exceeding 0.25% of the class's average net assets. Shareholder servicing,
prospectus, and shareholder report expenses are charged directly to the class to
which they relate. Expenses common to both classes, investment income, and
realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon
the relative daily net assets of each class. For non-daily dividend funds Income
distributions are declared and paid by each class on an annual basis. Capital
gain distributions are declared and paid by the fund on an annual basis.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $31,486,000 and $160,444,000, respectively, for the six months ended
June 30, 2000.


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 June 30, 2000, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was
substantially the same as for financial reporting and totaled $1,020,738,000.
Net unrealized gain aggregated $187,366,000 at period-end, of which $398,018,000
related to appreciated investments and $210,652,000 to depreciated investments.



NOTE 4 - 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,
of which $652,000 was payable at June 30, 2000. The fee is computed daily and
paid monthly, and consists 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 Rowe Price-Fleming
International, Inc. (the group). The group fee rate ranges from 0.48% for the
first $1 billion of assets to 0.295% for assets in excess of $120 billion. At
June 30, 2000, and for the six months then ended, the effective annual group fee
rate was 0.32%. The fund pays a pro-rata share of the group fee based on the
ratio of its net assets to those of the group.

The manager has agreed to bear any expenses through December 31, 2001, which
would cause Small-Cap Value Advisor Class's ratio of total expenses to average
net assets to exceed 1.15%. Thereafter, through December 31, 2003, Small-Cap
Value Advisor Class is required to reimburse the manager for these expenses,
provided that its average net assets have grown or expenses have declined
sufficiently to allow reimbursement without causing its ratio of total expenses
to average net assets to exceed 1.15%.

In addition, the fund has entered into agreements with the manager and two
wholly owned subsidiaries of the manager, pursuant to which the fund receives
certain other services. The manager computes the daily share price and maintains
the financial records of the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. is the fund's
transfer and dividend disbursing agent and provides shareholder and
administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services,
Inc. provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement
accounts invested in the fund. The fund incurred expenses pursuant to these
related party agreements totaling approximately $1,153,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, of which $225,000 was payable at period-end.

The fund may invest in the Reserve Investment Fund and Government Reserve
Investment Fund (collectively, the Reserve Funds), open-end management
investment companies managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. The Reserve Funds
are offered as cash management options only to mutual funds and other accounts
managed by T. Rowe Price and its affiliates and are not available to the public.
The Reserve Funds pay no investment management fees. Distributions from the
Reserve Funds to the fund for the six months ended June 30, 2000, totaled
$1,327,000 and are reflected as interest income in the accompanying Statement of
Operations.
