REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
================================================================================
     *    Despite significant volatility, both the equity and bond markets ended
          1998 with solid gains.

     *    Your fund's 6- and  12-month  gains were  competitive  with its Lipper
          peer group but trailed a combined index portfolio.

     *    Large-cap  domestic  growth  stocks were the  dominant  asset class in
          1998.

     *    The fund's asset  allocation  remains near its long-term target of 60%
          equities and 40% bonds,  with  significant  exposure to  international
          stocks and high-yield bonds.

     *    Slowing  economic  growth may moderate  gains,  but bonds and equities
          should  benefit from  continued low  inflation  and interest  rates in
          1999.

FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS

     The  domestic  bond and equity  markets  posted good  performances  in 1998
despite  numerous  crises in foreign markets and sometimes  extreme  volatility.
Rising blue chip stocks once again  buoyed  equities.  Interest  rates also fell
sharply in autumn,  sparked  both by strong  investor  preference  for  low-risk
securities and by Federal Reserve action.

================================================================================

     In this environment, the Balanced Fund produced solid results with moderate
volatility. Returns during the past six months cooled from the first half of the
year but  were  appropriate  to our  modest-risk  approach.  Your  fund's  4.91%
six-month and 15.97%  12-month  results were in keeping with the Lipper Balanced
Fund Index,  but trailed the Combined Index  Portfolio,  an unmanaged mix of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the Lehman Brothers  Aggregate  Index. The
blended  index has recently  outperformed  your fund because it has little or no
exposure to international equities and high-yield bonds, which we include in the
fund for diversificat ion. During this  extraordinary  equity rally, which began
at the end of 1994,  the S&P has  dramatically  outperformed  practically  every
other class of equity investment.

YEAR-END DISTRIBUTIONS

     On December 15, 1998, your Board of Directors  declared a long-term capital
gain distribution of $0.02 per share and a short-term  capital gain of $0.01 per
share to shareholders of record on that date. These were paid on December 17. On
December 28, 1998, the Directors  declared a quarterly  income dividend of $0.13
per share to  shareholders  of record on that date.  It was paid on December 30.
You should  already  have  received  your check or  statement  reflecting  these
distributions,  as well as Form 1099-DIV  summarizing  this information for 1998
tax purposes.

Preparing For The Year 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Year 2000 draws closer every day, and it holds special  meaning  beyond
the arrival of a new  millennium.  The issue for investors is that many computer
programs  throughout  the world use two digits  instead of four to identify  the
year and may assume the next century starts with 1900. If these programs are not
modified,  they will not be able to correctly handle the century change when the
year  changes  from "99" to "00" on January 1, 2000,  and they will no longer be
able to perform necessary  functions.  The Year 2000 issue affects all companies
and organizations.

     T. Rowe Price has been taking steps to assure that its computer systems and
processes  are  capable  of  functioning  in the Year 2000.  Detailed  plans for
remediation efforts have been developed and are currently being executed.


<PAGE>

OUR PLAN OF ACTION 

     We began to address these issues  several  years ago by requiring  that all
new systems process and store  four-digit  years. All critical systems have been
reprogrammed  (including business applications required to service our customers
and processing infrastructure necessary to ensure the integrity of customer data
and investments),  and they are currently being tested. Because we exchange data
electronically  with  customers and vendors,  we are working with them to assess
the  adequacy  of  their  own  compliance  efforts.  Our goal is to  ensure  the
continuation  of the same level of service to all our mutual  fund  shareholders
and clients after December 31, 1999.

     We are asking all vendors and companies we do business with for a Year 2000
compliance status, with the expectation that some organizations will not be able
to modify their interface files prior to December 31, 1999. In addition,  we are
scheduling  tests for  critical  vendors  and  companies  that  claim  Year 2000
compliance to ensure that time-related  data and calculations  function properly
as we move into the next century.

SMOOTH  TRANSITION  PLANNED 

     We believe our programs and  initiatives  will provide a smooth  transition
into the next  millennium.  We are assessing all systems  providing  products or
services to our retail mutual fund shareholders,  retirement plan sponsors,  and
participants, and we have modified them where necessary for the Year 2000.

     The Securities Industry Association (SIA) is coordinating Year 2000 testing
to assure that securities  markets,  clearing  corporations,  depositories,  and
third  party  service  providers  can  send,  receive,  and  process  files  and
transactions  accurately.  In late July 1998,  the SIA  completed a beta test of
Year 2000 readiness. The test was considered successful in terms of transactions
completed  and will  serve as the basis for the  SIA's  industry-wide  approach.
During  October  1998,  T.  Rowe  Price  completed  its beta  test of Year  2000
readiness with the SIA and is ready for the industry-wide test that is scheduled
for March and April 1999.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

     The  domestic  economy  coasted  through  another  positive  year in  1998.
Inflation was negligible and corporate  profits were steadier than  anticipated.
The  investment  markets were  another  story,  however.  A spate of problems in
international economies, which came to a head when Russia devalued the ruble and
defaulted on its debts in late summer,  threw the global  currency  markets into
turmoil  and  sparked  some  panic  selling.   Investors  abandoned  higher-risk
investments  during the height of the crisis,  including  domestic blue chips as
well as foreign  stocks and bonds,  high-yield  corporate  bonds,  and small-cap
stocks. The U.S. equity market (as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average)
fell 15%, while low-risk Treasuries enjoyed a sharp rally.
<PAGE>

     [Chart showing  interest rates for 30-Year  Treasury Bond,  5-Year Treasury
Note, and 90-day Treasury Bills, 12/31/97 through 12/31/98.]

     The Federal Reserve  responded by lowering the federal funds target rate in
late September to avert a liquidity  crunch that  threatened  after the currency
crisis.  Investor  confidence was not so easily  restored,  however;  additional
well-publicized  problems -- in  particular,  the collapse of a prominent  hedge
fund -- kept many  investors on the sidelines.  Eventually,  the Fed reduced the
target  rate  two more  times,  in  October  and  mid-November,  to  4.75%.  The
additional liquidity finally seemed to stabilize most markets.  Remarkably,  the
S&P 500 finished the year with an unprecedented  fourth  consecutive gain of 20%
or more.

     Despite  their  difficulties  during the crisis,  domestic blue chip stocks
continued to be among the year's best  performers.  With  valuations  very high,
investors paid close attention to earnings. Stocks in the consumer, health care,
and financial industries, where earnings tend to be reliable,  benefited. Toward
the end of the year,  technology  stocks also  soared,  buoyed by the promise of
Internet technology.  Cyclicals and basic materials stocks were left behind, and
firms posting earnings  disappointments were often sold off harshly.  Merger and
acquisition  activity continued to be an important driver for equities,  helping
to maintain  momentum in a market that already appeared  expensive by historical
standards.

     The most notable feature of the stock market over the past year must surely
be its increased level of volatility.  The S&P 500's level of fluctuation during
this period has been topped only twice in the past 50 years. A simple measure of
volatility  is the  number  of days in which the  market  moves up or down 1% or
more.  For all of 1998,  this  threshold was exceeded on over 30% of the trading
days (almost 40% in the second  half),  compared with only 5% of trading days in
1995.  The second  most  notable  feature  was the huge  performance  divergence
between  the S&P and any index of  smaller  companies.  The S&P  posted  another
superb year, rising 28.6%,  while the Russell 2000, for example,  declined 2.5%.
Indeed,  the S&P's return actually masked  significant  size-related bias within
the  index:  the  smallest  half of the index  was flat for the year,  while its
largest 50 companies posted returns,  on average,  well above 30%. The disparity
between large- and small-cap  stocks was as great as at any time in the past two
decades.

     Within the bond market,  Treasury bonds, bills, and notes led in the second
half and interest rates  continued their long secular  decline.  Treasuries have
always  been a safe  harbor for  nervous  investors,  but even their  volatility
increased as investors  swapped in and out of them during the year's  short-term
crises.  Corporate bonds, and in particular  high-yield bonds, did poorly during
the summer "flight to quality," but their  comparatively high yields helped them
recover quickly when stability returned.  Only mortgage-backed  bonds, which are
negatively affected by falling interest rates,  struggled  consistently  through
the period.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

     Given the unusual  volatility,  we chose to maintain a neutral  approach to
asset allocation.  The fund stayed close to its long-term target of 60% equities
and 40% bonds, with significant  exposure to international stocks and high-yield
bonds. All sectors of the fund -- domestic  equity,  international  equity,  and
fixed income -- produced solid gains for the year.
<PAGE>

     The U.S. equity market was  particularly  favorable toward growth stocks in
1998. The Barra/S&P  Growth Index  decisively  outperformed  the Barra/S&P Value
Index 42.2% to 14.7% for the year, and 15.5% to 2.3% for the second half. Stocks
and  industries  with  higher  dependence  on the  overall  economy to  generate
earnings growth, such as basic materials or consumer  cyclicals,  underperformed
those with less sensitivity to the economic cycle.

     [Security  Diversification chart here. Pie chart, based on net assets as of
12/31/98,  with the following  segments - Corporate Bonds, 17%;  Mortgage-Backed
Securities,  5%; Large-Cap Stocks, 48%;  International Stocks, 12%; Treasury and
Agency Bonds, 17%; Reserves, 1%.]

     The  domestic  equity  component  of the fund was  paced by our  technology
holdings.  Positions in ANALOG DEVICES,  a semiconductor  manufacturer,  and the
personal-computer  firm Compaq provided strong gains, as did INTEL. Another area
of good results was  telecommunications,  led by MCI  WORLDCOM,  BELLSOUTH,  and
AMERITECH. Declining oil prices hurt energy stocks, and a generally deflationary
environment  led to poor  performance  of other  commodity-related  stocks.  Oil
service companies such as BAKER HUGHES declined  sharply,  as did chemical firms
DUPONT and HERCULES. 

     As noted,  large-caps had a distinct  performance  advantage in 1998.  Even
though this fund's equity portion has a marked  large-cap  orientation  compared
with its peer group, it was nonetheless  less  concentrated  than the S&P in the
largest  companies,  and this held back results compared with the Combined Index
Portfolio.  Few actively managed portfolios have as much exposure to the largest
stocks as the index, which is one reason we fared better against the competition
(the Lipper Balanced Fund Index).

     The international  equity portfolio was up modestly in the past six months,
after a strong first half.  The fund's  holdings in the Pacific  performed  well
after June 30, with Hong Kong and Singapore  rebounding from abysmal performance
earlier.   Japanese  stocks  also  did  well  in  recent  months,  helped  by  a
strengthening  yen. Both KAO, a Japanese food company,  and TAKEDA  CHEMICAL,  a
pharmaceutical  company,  appreciated  better than 45%. Our European stocks were
mixed during the second half, with the U.K. up, Continental  markets mostly down
modestly,  and  Scandinavian  holdings off sharply.  A good performer for us was
ELECTRABEL, a Belgian electric utility. Nevertheless, for the fourth consecutive
year, our international stocks lagged behind their domestic  counterparts.  Part
of the fund's strategy is to provide  exposure to a wide array of asset classes,
and  while  our   primary   motivation   is  to  moderate   volatility   through
diversification,  we think  that in time our  international  holdings  will also
enhance returns.

     The past year also provided us with a positive  interest rate  environment.
Since year-end 1997, yields on various-maturity  Treasury bonds have declined 96
to 116 basis points (one  hundred  basis  points  equal one  percent),  and bond
prices have jumped in tandem.  Normally,  an economic  environment  as strong as
this one would give rise to  inflation  and place  upward  pressure  on interest
rates.  However,  inflation  has been low. It has also helped that,  during this
expansion,  the very real  measures of economic  strength  have  typically  been
tempered with more worrisome indications of earnings declines, high inventories,
or other signs of economic weakness.  This mixed environment has discouraged the
Fed from raising rates and made good bond performance  possible even in the late
stages of this economic cycle.
<PAGE>

     Still,  the bond market also  exhibited its share of  volatility,  and your
portfolio reflected sometimes mixed results.  With declining rates buffeting the
mortgage-backed  bond market,  our  holdings in this  segment  declined to 5% of
assets  from 7% a year  ago.  Falling  rates  prompt  an  increase  in  mortgage
refinancings,  which undercut the value of existing  mortgage-backed  bonds.  In
times of relatively stable interest rates, however, mortgage securities offer an
attractive mix of high credit quality and elevated yield. We therefore intend to
maintain a modest stake in this sector for diversification purposes.

     Strong returns during the year's global  financial crises pushed the fund's
Treasury  and agency  bond stake to 17% from 13% six months ago.  Robust  demand
helped these holdings score significant price gains in the second half. The flip
side of price gains,  however,  is a consequent  decline in yields, and Treasury
yields have  recently  been as low as they've been in decades.  These low yields
may make these issues less attractive to us in the future.

     Corporate issues,  especially  high-yield bonds, had a wild ride during the
year:  they led the  market  in the  first  half,  were  beaten  up in the third
quarter, and then staged a strong recovery as the year closed.

     Our stake in corporate  bonds stayed fairly  steady,  slipping only a touch
from 18% to 17% of assets  during  the year.  We have  chosen to  maintain  this
weighting  because of these  issues'  attractive  income.  Despite  their  sharp
third-quarter  losses, we also continued to hold a healthy stake -- 7% of assets
- -- in high-yield  (junk) bonds.  High-yield bonds typically react well to strong
economic  growth.  In the  absence  of  further  overseas  crises,  we think our
holdings in the top-quality tiers of the noninvestment-grade sector will provide
an attractive combination of yield and price appreciation.

OUTLOOK

     The  domestic  economy  is  still  exhibiting  considerable  strength.  For
example, despite newspaper headlines about layoffs, the U.S. expanded employment
by well over two  million  jobs in 1998.  On the other  hand,  weakness in other
global regions, especially Asia and Latin America, has depressed the outlook for
future  economic   growth  and  threatened  to  slow  corporate   profit  growth
significantly.  Declining  growth rates may inspire the Fed to keep rates steady
or even to lower them further, despite occasional pressure to raise them.

     A flat-to-declining rate environment would benefit both the equity and bond
portions of this portfolio. However, while we expect positive performance in the
year  ahead,  we are viewing the  markets  with a cautious  eye and  maintaining
moderate   expectations  for  1999.  Volatility  has  been  high  by  historical
standards,  and we think that trend is likely to continue.  We intend to keep to
your fund's charter: to provide a well-diversified  portfolio with exposure to a
variety of different asset classes, with the goal of moderating volatility where
possible  and  exposing  shareholders  to gains  wherever  they may occur in the
markets.

                                                               December 31, 1998
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     T. Rowe  Price  Balanced  Fund,  Inc.  (the fund) is  registered  under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified,  open-end management investment
company and commenced operations on December 31, 1939.

     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.

     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.

     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,  other
than  mortgage-backed   securities  (MBS),  are  amortized  for  both  financial
reporting  and tax purposes.  Premiums and  discounts on all MBS are  recognized
upon disposition or principal  repayment as gain or loss for financial reporting
purposes. For tax purposes,  premiums and discounts on MBS acquired on or before
June 8, 1997, are recognized upon disposition or principal repayment as ordinary
income. For MBS acquired after June 8, 1997,  premiums are recognized as gain or
loss;  discounts are recognized as gain or loss, except to the extent of accrued
market discount.
<PAGE>

     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 the 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  and may differ from those  determined in accordance  with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

     Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following
practices  to manage  exposure  to  certain  risks or enhance  performance.  The
investment  objective,  policies,  program,  and  risk  factors  of the fund are
described  more fully in the  fund's  prospectus  and  Statement  of  Additional
Information.

     Securities  Lending The fund lends its  securities  to approved  brokers to
earn  additional  income and receives  cash and U.S.  government  securities  as
collateral  against the loans.  Cash collateral  received is invested in a money
market pooled account by the fund's lending agent. Collateral is maintained over
the life of the loan in an  amount  not less  than  100% of the  value of loaned
securities.  Although  risk is  mitigated  by the  collateral,  the  fund  could
experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or
value if the borrower  fails to return them. At December 31, 1998,  the value of
loaned  securities  was   $217,324,000;   aggregate   collateral   consisted  of
$223,149,000  in the securities  lending  collateral  pool.  Other Purchases and
sales of  portfolio  securities,  other  than  short-term  and  U.S.  government
securities, aggregated $220,813,000 and $99,950,000,  respectively, for the year
ended  December  31, 1998.  Purchases  and sales of U.S.  government  securities
aggregated  $173,379,000  and  $76,596,000,  respectively,  for the  year  ended
December 31, 1998. 

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 December  31,  1998,  the cost of  investments  for  federal  income tax
purposes  was  substantially  the same as for  financial  reporting  and totaled
$1,179,002,000.  Net unrealized gain aggregated  $480,681,000 at period-end,  of
which  $511,734,000  related  to  appreciated  investments  and  $31,053,000  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  $648,000 was payable at December 31, 1998.  The fee is computed  daily
and paid  monthly,  and  consists  of an  individual  fund fee equal to 0.15% 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 0.30% for  assets in excess of $80  billion.  At
December 31, 1998, and for the year 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.

     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
$3,488,000  for the year ended  December 31, 1998, of which $309,000 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  year  ended  December  31,  1998,  totaled
$1,166,000 and are reflected as interest income in the accompanying Statement of
Operations.

     During the year ended December 31, 1998,  the fund, in the ordinary  course
of business,  placed security purchase and sale orders aggregating  $44,000 with
certain  affiliates  of the  manager  and paid  commissions  of  $1,000  related
thereto.

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,  which  included  confirmation  of  securities  at
December 31, 1998 by correspondence with custodians,  provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.
