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

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Funds, Inc. (the corporation) is
      registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Personal Strategy
      Balanced Fund (the fund), a diversified, open-end management investment
      company, is one of the portfolios established by the corporation and
      commenced operations on July 29, 1994.

      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. Short-term debt securities are valued at amortized cost which,
      when combined with accrued interest, approximates fair value.

      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

         30

T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Balanced Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



      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 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.

      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 November 30, 1998, the value of loaned securities was
      $38,267,000; aggregate collateral consisted of $39,820,000 in the
      securities lending collateral pool.

      Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term
      and U.S. government securities, aggregated $106,095,000 and $57,226,000,
      respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 1998. Purchases and
      sales of U.S. government securities aggregated $13,146,000 and $8,530,000,
      respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 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 November 30, 1998, the cost of investments for federal income tax
      purposes was substantially the same as for financial reporting and totaled
      $350,157,000. Net unrealized gain aggregated $46,565,000, of which
      $57,811,000 related to appreciated investments and $11,246,000 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 $184,000 was payable at November 30, 1998. The
      fee is computed daily and paid monthly, and consists of an individual fund
      fee equal to 0.25% 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 November 30, 1998, 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.

      Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the manager was
      required to bear any expenses through May 31, 1998, which would cause the
      fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 1.05%.
      Thereafter, through May 31, 2000, the fund is required to reimburse the
      manager for these expenses, provided that average net assets have grown or
      expenses have declined sufficiently to allow reimbursement without causing
      the fund's ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 1.05%.
      Pursuant to this agreement, $62,000 of unaccrued 1997 fees were repaid
      during the six months ended November 30, 1998.

     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 $489,000 for the six months ended November 30, 1998, of which
     $68,000 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 November 30, 1998, totaled $358,000 and are reflected as interest
     income in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
